On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 45 Luoyang County

Nan Yan looked around and lowered her voice, "I didn't expect to see people riding horses and carriages. Judging from their clothes, they must be people with backgrounds."

"They should be people who have fled from other places." Gu Xue glanced at them, "Anyway, we will just go on our own way. I hope no one comes to disturb us."

Lan Yue sat aside, and after eating, she closed her eyes and rested.
-
"Brother, I didn't expect there to be so many people fleeing here."

The woman in a light gauze dress ate a hot meat bun and looked around.

The Li family lived well in Xiyang City. If it weren't for the war on the border that affected them, the Li family would not have moved away collectively.

The Li family is not a large family, with only about two hundred people in total, including servants.

During this escape, many people have left the Li family, and now there are only about a hundred people left.

The food they brought with them was running out, after all, there were so many people to feed.

"Well, we don't have much food left, so we have to eat sparingly." Li Yu glanced at the people around him, "We can't eat too much either. These people are starving. Who knows if they will come up to rob us."

Li Rui nodded. She understood this logic. They had encountered many such people before. If it weren't for their fighting power, their food would have been snatched away long ago.

"Mom and Dad, please take a rest after you finish eating." Li Yu looked at Li Qi, who was drinking lean meat porridge silently beside him, and his mother, Chen.

"Well, you guys should take a rest too. Don't be too anxious to travel." Li Qi nodded, drank the porridge and ate a cake, then got on the carriage with Chen to rest.

Li Yu watched Li Wen taking care of the pregnant Zhang, "Brother, sister-in-law, you should also take more rest, especially sister-in-law, who is still pregnant and will not be easily tired."

The two nodded, "Second brother, please watch over me."

Li Wen helped Zhang into another carriage.

Li Rui was not sleepy yet, so she just leaned against the carriage with her eyes squinted. In this kind of weather, it was difficult for her to fall asleep.
-
Everyone was hurrying on their way; the midday sun was scorching.

Many people fainted due to lack of water.

Some people were too hungry to continue their journey. "Village chief, Daniu has fainted!"

Someone in a large team shouted.

Those people stopped and the village chief asked someone to bring some water over. Daniu's lips were very dry and cracked, obviously caused by lack of water.

"Wake up, wake up!"

The village chief sighed, "Everyone, just hold on a little longer. The next county town is not far away."

They were running low on food and water, and everyone was using them sparingly; no one dared to share them with others.

Da Niu thanked them and continued to follow the crowd. He was very hungry, but without food, he could only endure the hunger. As long as he reached the next county town, he could buy food.

Although the people in the team felt sorry for Da Niu, no one was willing to give him food. There were many of them, and if they gave him food, it would just be one less ration.

Lan Yue and the others were walking in front of the team. They noticed what was happening behind them, but they did not slow down.

The Li family had a carriage, so they quickly overtook Lan Yue and the others.

Li Rui lifted the curtain and saw Lan Yue's profile.

What a handsome young man!
But, she looks like a girl...

Her eyes fell on a certain part of the other person, and it did look like a girl.

Lan Yue noticed someone was looking at her, so she raised her eyes and looked towards the carriage.

Li Rui was a little stunned, and the next second, she smiled.

Lan Yue had no expression on her face. She withdrew her gaze and continued on her way.
