A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 52 Partnering up?

The group of people helped each other and walked out of the ruined temple for tens of meters. They were relieved when they saw that no government servants came after them to make trouble for them.

The surrounding victims were cursing: "A bunch of **** know how to bully us. They kicked us out in the middle of the afternoon. Where do you want us to stay?"

 After finally settling down for a few days, they were driven away again, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

After scolding, the victims became confused again. They looked at the vast countryside and wondered where they could go in this vast world.

A few days ago, after everyone came to stay at the broken temple, Mr. Qin took Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang to visit the area. He was already familiar with the nearby terrain. He stood there for a moment, pointed to a small road on the right, and said: "This way Let's go, follow this path through four villages, then go over a mountain, and you will reach the official road. After walking on the official road for a few hours, you will reach the border of Yuchang Mansion."

The family members had no objection to Mr. Qin’s words and nodded one after another: “We listen to you, Mr. Qin.”

The surrounding victims also heard what Mr. Qin said. Seeing that he was so familiar with the route, some victims gathered around him. Qin Erlang drew out his machete, looked at them coldly, and said: "If you don't want to die, don't come here!"

These victims had seen the cruelty of their group. After hearing Qin Erlang's words and looking at his cold face, they hurriedly stopped and did not dare to step forward.

Among the victims, two old men with gray hair wearing old coats boldly stepped forward, raised their hands to Mr. Qin and said, "Old brother, we don't mean any harm, we just want to ask where you are going next." Let’s go? If it’s convenient, can we hook up with you?”

As he spoke, he pointed to a group of victims behind him and said: "We have about fifty people, surnamed Lin and Zhou. They are all responsible people with families and families. We will not harm you or cause you any trouble."

They have been watching what Gu Jinli and his group have done, and they feel that although this group of people is old and young, they are very fierce and have the ability to protect themselves while not bullying others, which is very rare. If they could team up with them to escape, life for the Lin and Zhou family would be much easier.

Mr. Qin glanced at them, shook his head and refused: "There is no need to join forces. As for where we are going? Of course it is south. There is only one way to go south. If you follow it, we can't stop it."

After saying that, he ignored them, left with a few families, and walked to the path on the right.

The two old men Lin and Zhou were very happy and hurriedly called to their family members behind them: "Follow me quickly."

Although Mr. Qin refused to let them join forces, he did not forbid them from following. This was a good thing.

The victims of the Lin and Zhou families hurriedly dragged their families to follow, but Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lin were very measured and did not follow too closely. Instead, they kept a distance of more than ten meters from Mr. Qin and the others, so as not to annoy Mr. Qin and the others.

 The other victims who came out of the ruined temple saw what was happening and followed them one after another.

Mr. Chen saw the disaster victim following behind them and complained dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Qin, why do you let them follow? What if they want to steal our things?"

She protected the money and water on her body for fear of being robbed by the victims.

Qin Laodao said: "With Wu Da's affairs at hand, they don't dare to rob us, they will only respect us."

People are like this. If you are weak, they will bully you; if you are cruel, they will fear you and even respect you.

"Respect us?" Mrs. Chen didn't believe it: "You are always talking nonsense, are they the only ones who can respect us?"

Mr. Qin said: "You will know later."

 Mr. Chen, no matter how much you say to her, it will be useless. She will not believe you unless she herself suffers a disaster or receives benefits.

Half an hour later, they reached the end of the path and saw a village. However, the villagers in the village were afraid of the victims and asked the strong men in the village to stop them at the entrance of the village to prevent the victims from entering the village.

However, there are several water tanks at the entrance of the village where water can be sold to the victims. Water is very expensive. Twenty taels of silver per jar is almost like robbing money. Gu Jinli and his family hesitated for a while, but they still paid for three jars of water.

Although the other victims were in pain, they knew how precious water was and pooled their money to buy it.

 After buying water, they circled the village and continued on their way. Towards evening, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that it was getting late, Third Grandpa and Mr. Qin said, "Stop. Let's spend the night here tonight. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning and cross this mountain to Shangguan Road."

Mr. Chen was afraid of death. Thinking of what the yamen leader said, she hurriedly shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming tomorrow morning. If we continue our journey tomorrow, won't we be beaten to death by the officers and soldiers?!"

Qin Laodao said: "Even if the officers and soldiers come, they will search near the suburbs and will not catch up with us all at once. Let's get up earlier tomorrow and rush on the road early in the morning so that we will not be overtaken by the officers and soldiers."

Those officers and soldiers are not that free. As long as the victims do not stay outside the city of Yuchang Mansion, they actually don't care.

"Really? Mr. Qin, please don't lie to us." As soon as Chen finished speaking, Gu Dagui shouted: "What is it really? Go and help San Auntie cook."

If you do n’t do anything every day, you will only ask east to ask, do you know that everyone is annoying her to speak? He was almost embarrassed by her.

　Families pool their money together to buy food. Money is paid per head. When eating, food is divided according to head. These grains are managed by the third grandpa. When it is time to cook, the third grandpa will give the grain to the third grandma, and let the third grandma take several women to cook together.

Ms. Chen was afraid that others would steal her food, so she was very active every time she cooked. When she heard Gu Dagui's words, she went to the third grandma with wind on her feet and asked her for food to cook.

The Gu Jinli family, the Luo family, and the Qin family not only pooled their money to buy grain with everyone else, but also bought some grain for their own families and saved it for emergencies.

Other victims also stopped and saw their families cooking. They were so hungry that they swallowed hard, but they did not dare to have any more bad thoughts. These families are so fierce that even a ten-year-old girl dares to break an adult's hand tendons and hamstrings with a dagger, but they cannot be offended.

The victims looked at it for a while, then dispersed in search of food.

Gu Jinli was not idle either. He took Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua into the mountains to look for various edible things and medicinal materials.

"Xiaoyu, wait, I'll go with you." Gu Jinan tied a small sack around his waist, picked up a hatchet, and caught up with them.

Gu Jinli knew that Gu Jinan was frightened by her behavior in the ruined temple, so he wanted to follow her and protect her at the critical moment to prevent her from getting bloodied again.

She wanted to say that it was not necessary, but knowing that Gu Jinan had a stubborn temper, she could only nod and smile, "Okay." The four of them entered the mountain.

Gu Jinxiu wanted to go with them, but she had to take care of Brother Cheng and was afraid that she would be too weak and hold Gu Jinli back, so she stayed with Cui and the others honestly.

Gu Damu The two girls from Gu Dalin's family were too young, so Gu Jinli didn't take them with him because he was afraid that if something happened, he wouldn't be able to protect too many people.

As for Gu Yumei, the girl from the village head's family didn't like her and didn't want to play with them, so she didn't call her to avoid getting into trouble.

Yuchang Prefecture was not as severely affected as the seven northwest prefectures, and there was a lot of food available. The four of them walked around the mountain and found a bundle of green and yellow wild vegetables.
