After making the decision, Su Yuanshan and Zhao did not act rashly. They filled their stomachs quietly and found a place to hide from the wind to rest.

Because the resting place was not very remote, no one paid too much attention.

The noise that had lasted for a long time stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.

General Qin arranged the tasks to be done after waking up before everyone rested, and then left.

The place where he rested with the people was not in the same place.

And the old man, who was actually a pure man but was regarded as the national teacher by the people today, also disappeared in the crowd.

You don't need to think about it to know that he lives with Yuhuang and the others.

After everyone had rested, Su Yuanshan glanced at Mrs. Zhao, then looked at Su Buwei who was awake, and left the station alone to go south to investigate the situation.

From the words above, I knew that the sacrificial ceremony did not start immediately. After waking up, they had to cut rocks and cut trees to build an altar. There should be plenty of time.

Su Yuanshan was going to explore the road so that he could escape later.

Zhao's group remained where they were, breathing steadily and pretending to sleep.

After a long time, Su Yuanshan came back.

He lay quietly on the ground and was woken up after a while.

"Okay, it's almost time. In order to build the altar as soon as possible, everyone should work harder and get up to work quickly."

A guard shouted loudly as he walked, waking up all the sleeping people.

No one complained, and with strange excitement in their hearts, they went to cut wood and cut stones under the leadership of the guards, including some children who were secretly designated as sacrifices.

Su Yuanshan and Zhao took their three children and followed them among the crowd.

Normally, the useless baby girl in Zhao's arms would have been ignored by everyone.

But after what happened before, everyone already had a different mood when they looked at the child.

Hehe, these are life-saving straws.

Ms. Zhao frowned and pushed the baby girl's head into her arms. The looks from these people were so disgusting.

After the guards assigned tasks to everyone, they stood guard while the people worked in the dark.

Time passed bit by bit, and as General Qin said, the station welcomed some people from the north and the south, including many children.

They were left behind as a matter of course, and these children became a tacit secret among everyone.

Looking at the innocent faces of the children, Ms. Zhao often couldn't stop vomiting.

It's ridiculous to ask these children to build graves that will kill them.

Emperor Yu, who used to appear in front of everyone, didn't know where He Zhenren had gone. He had not been seen since that day.

Common people's daily activities include rest and work.

As a result, not only the adults were tired, but the children were also so tired that they couldn't even lift their legs. Everyone basically fell asleep.

Every time when everyone was asleep, Su Yuanshan and Su Buwei would endure their fatigue and take turns exploring the way to the south.

However, because the distance was too far, they walked for a long time without touching the southern tail, let alone the enthusiasm spread by word of mouth.

Every time they come back and see Su Buyou and Zhao looking exhausted, Su Yuanshan and Su Buwei feel heartbroken.

So they made up their mind that even if they didn't explore all the ways to the south, they couldn't stay here any longer.

If this continues, even if he doesn't die from exhaustion, he won't have the energy to escape when the time comes.

Finally, they were forced to find a place to rest near the south.

"Although it's not to the south, it's quite hidden and can accommodate the few of us more than enough." Su Buwei said in a low voice.

Su Buyou quietly closed his mouth and didn't speak. He just listened to the adult's words with stern eyes.

Zhao glanced around with the corner of her eye vigilantly, her lips quivering, "Do you know the way?" Su Yuanshan nodded invisibly, and he remembered it firmly.

"Then don't delay. Let's leave during our break today."

Upon hearing this decision, the two children, Su Buwei and Su Buyou, looked at each other and smiled, feeling uncontrollably excited in their hearts.

It's finally time to leave this depressing place.

……

After working outside as usual today, everyone returned to Yang Street one after another.

Since the National Preceptor and Emperor Yu designated the two places of Yin and Yang, the places where people rest have become Yang Street.

After they cut down the materials needed for the altar every day, they also find time to build their own house.

It was so exhausting that they fell asleep even more deeply when they rested.

Because they had long decided not to stay here for a long time, Su Yuanshan and his party were not too enthusiastic about building a house.

If they weren't afraid of attracting attention, they would even want to sleep in the same place.

The quality of the thatched house is not good and there is no soundproofing. I can hear the sounds of other people chatting.

Su Yuanshan and the others stood attentively until the conversation around them turned into heavy and gentle breathing, and then Su Yuanshan made a gesture.

"ready to go."

Mrs. Zhao held the baby girl in her arms, and Su Bugui held Su Buyou's hand. After Su Yuanshan's gesture fell, they walked out quietly.

Due to lack of time, the gate guard office on Yang Street has not been set up yet. There are only a few people huddled together, half asleep and half awake, guarding the gate.

Su Yuanshan and his party walked past them without changing their expressions, leaving no footprints wherever they passed, and walked to the edge of the camp so easily.

When he got here, Zhao took out some weapons from the space.

It was what Su Bujing had left for them before. Because of their inconvenience in movement, they were all taken into the space by Zhao.

Su Buwei held the sword and said sternly: "Aniang, take your little sister and walk beside me. My father and I will protect you together!"

"And I!"

Su Buyou held up a dark dagger and whispered, "I can also protect you."

Su Yuanshan smiled and touched Su Buyou's head without pouring cold water on him, "Buyou has grown up, but it's also important to protect yourself."

"Okay, let's go quickly, you're not the only one leading the way."

The journey went very smoothly. Not only did they see the half-built altar, but they also saw Yin Street opposite Yang Street.

Everyone quickened their pace and left the station under the cover of night.

But they still didn't dare to relax. Not only did their footsteps not slow down, but they moved faster.

Although this place is no longer within the scope of the station, it is still very close to the station. Who knows if an accident will happen.

Just as I was thinking this, an accident happened.

"Ooooh wow!"

It was the baby girl in Zhao's arms who woke up.

"Oh, shut up, this will attract those people." Su Buwei anxiously wanted to cover the baby girl's mouth.

But little children don't know the severity. They only know that when they wake up, they can cry whenever they want.

Just for a while, the baby girl's cry became louder and louder, and the ears of Su Buwei, who was closest to her, were almost deafened.

Now, not to mention attracting the guards, even the sleeping people were awakened.
