Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 59 Accident
The Su family hadn't rested long before Su Bujing and Su Buyi noticed that the crowd of people fleeing the famine in front began to gather, and groups of fires were extinguished.

Is it about to be launched?

Su Bujing and Su Buyi frowned. They had just rested for a while, and were they going to go on the road again?

Perhaps hearing the increasingly noisy voices outside, the Su family members in the carriage woke up.

"What's wrong? Did something happen up front?" Su Yuanshan opened his slightly bloodshot eyes and held on to the car wall to get off.

Several other people were leaning listlessly against the car wall, half-squinting their eyes and about to get up.

Su Buyi answered through the car door: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that the people in front put out the fire and may have to leave. You just keep sleeping. I'll drive the car. I'll call you if anything happens."

Now that their family has decided to take a ride from King Yu to Fuzhou.

So no matter how tired or reluctant they are now, they must keep up.

Su Bujing jumped out of the car and went to put out the burning fire.

Then she sat next to Su Buyi, holding Su Buwei's iron sword in her right hand.

Su Buyi drove the carriage and followed the slowly advancing escape team.

One of the better things about traveling when there are many people is that it won’t be so deserted and deserted during the journey, giving people the illusion that the world is vast and only you can enjoy it.

The sounds of people's voices, conversations, and rustling footsteps came together, making it very lively, as if the natural disaster had not come at all and everything was as usual.

Only the fatigue and numbness on everyone's face showed that the peaceful and prosperous era was no longer there.

Some are just running for their lives in the never-ending night, and are helpless to live day by day.

Su Bujing sat on the edge of the car, looking up into the distance.

The fleeing team ahead was so densely packed that it was almost endless as far as the eye could see, like locusts crossing the border.

And their family is now in it. Thinking about it carefully, it is really incredible.

There is an unreal feeling that the whole world is wandering and running for their lives!
"Brother, the number of people fleeing the famine in Fuzhou must be several hundred thousand!" Su Bujing said in shock.

"More than that, after all, refugees from several northern states have arrived together. Even if many people have died due to previous natural disasters, there are probably still millions of people." Su Buyi narrowed his eyes and replied.

With so many people, if there is a big chaos...

They are afraid that they will not die in the turbulent natural disaster first, but will be trampled to death by the rioting crowd first!

Su Buyi was secretly worried.

Su Bujing sat on the edge of the car, his legs dangling slightly. Sometimes he looked up at the empty sky, and sometimes at the sparse torches in front of him.

Looking at it, Su Bujing seemed to have thought of something, and burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Sister." Su Buyi retracted her thoughts and looked at the smiling Su Bujing with confusion.

"Hahaha, I just feel like those torches on the ground are bright, like stars falling from the sky."

Su Buyi smiled and replied: "Then our family must be the brightest and warmest among all the stars."

Su Bujing clapped his hands and added: "And it must be the star that shines the longest!"

Su Bujing and Su Buyi looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The Su family's carriage was at the back of the fleeing team.

Many carriages can also be seen behind them.

Some carriages are even driven by four horses, accompanied by escorts and maids. Their sophistication is staggering, and they must be people who are well prepared before fleeing.

The Su family's carriage only has a solid appearance and does not stand out among others.

As expected, there were no officers or soldiers following the fleeing team.

I think he should be at the front of the team, protecting the distinguished young master of the Qin family.

If the refugees at the back wanted to know what was going on in the front, they could only watch what the refugees in the front were doing.

The refugees in the front stopped to rest, and the refugees in the back stopped to rest. The ones in the front were about to set off, and the ones behind them set off together.

In this way, one by one will not be left behind, so that the refugees who follow at the end will not be left behind.

After burning out six torches, the fleeing team stopped again.

The refugees took advantage of the repair work to look for food on the spot.Women and children were picking up branches from the surrounding area and looking for strong and flexible grass stems to make straw sandals.

Because they travel every day, their shoes are very worn.

The cloth shoes they wore before fleeing were all worn out. In order not to walk barefoot, they only had crudely woven straw sandals.

But the straw sandals were not strong and would become rotten and fall apart after walking for a few days.

Therefore, the refugees would knit straw sandals whenever they had free time, string the extra straw sandals into a string, and tie them around their waists.

Because of the practicality of straw sandals, refugees can not only wear them themselves, but also use them to exchange items with other refugees.

The men were nearby looking for something to eat.

Or the leaves of trees that have fallen on the ground, or the wild vegetables and fruits that still grow in the cold weather.

Although it is eternal night now, there are many edible wild vegetables that I have never seen before.

This prevented the refugees who fled from the famine from starving to death.

They also go to the nearby frozen river to cut ice to get water.

Not every household has sharp tools for cutting ice. Those who don't have tools can only pay a certain price to borrow them from others.

Otherwise, it’s impossible not to drink water!

As for the frail old man, he stayed where he was and observed what was going on ahead.

Once they notice that the person in front shows signs of leaving, they will immediately notify others to avoid falling behind.

Because we are always on the road, the place where we stop to look for food is different every time. In addition, every household will save some extra food found on the way.

Therefore, among the fleeing teams, there have not been many cases of refugees killing each other due to competition for food.

The Su family also has a clear division of labor.

Su Yuanshan was responsible for collecting firewood, Su Buyi and Su Buwei were responsible for finding food, and even Su Buyou followed behind to help.

Only Su Bujing was left at the carriage to take care of Zhao who was feeling unwell and was lying down to rest.

After a while, Su Yuanshan came back with a bundle of firewood on his back. He said "Hey" and tied the firewood firmly on the roof of the car.

The things in Zhao's space are the materials secretly hidden in their home. These things placed on the roof of the car are what they use to hide from others.

Just as Su Yuanshan turned around and was about to continue working, there was a lot of movement in front of him.

"Ouch, are we leaving again?"

"Why are you leaving so soon? How long have you been waiting for?"

"It's just that we haven't found much food! Can't the nobles in front be more considerate of us?"

The refugees kept complaining, but their hands moved quickly.

After a while, he packed up all his belongings, carried them on his back or carried them in his hands, and was ready to go.

Su Buyi and his brothers all rushed back before they were far away, and quickly got into the carriage with Su Yuanshan.

This time Su Buyi was still driving the car, and Su Buying sat outside to accompany him.

Su Bujing sat on the edge of the car, listening to the noise ahead, and murmured to Su Buyi in confusion:

"Brother, there's something wrong with the sound..."

Su Buyi looked at Su Buying in confusion.

Because the surroundings were dark, Su Buyi could not see the specific situation ahead.

However, when he saw Su Bujing's serious face, he listened carefully according to his temper, and immediately discovered what was unusual in front of him.

The sound is really wrong.

The sound was as violent as the ground shaking, and occasionally the screams of children could be heard.

The sound was louder than the other, and it was like a huge rolling wave, heading straight towards the back of the team.

If it was really just an ordinary rush, how could the noise be so loud?

Could it be that the ground was shaking again?
