Chapter 47 Part ways and move on

Qiao Ran was right. If you stay here, you will either wait to die or waste time. In the end, you will have to go to other state capitals to find a way out.

Rather than wasting time like this, it is better to go on the road with the others so that they can take care of each other and find a place to take them in earlier.

So most people raised their hands and expressed their willingness to follow the old village chief and continue moving forward.

The old village chief nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the most stubborn Wang family and Qiao Dewang family.

"What about you? Do you still want to stay here? If you want to stay, I won't force you to do so. Let's just say goodbye and just follow Chen Lizheng and the others!"

The Wang family and his wife had been convinced by their son along the way, so they quickly expressed their stance: "Village Chief, our family is also willing to move forward and not stay!"

The village chief glanced at them without saying anything, and then turned his attention to the Qiao Dewang family.

Qiao Dewang was lowering his head, as if he was still hesitating.

Before he could say anything, Huang quickly asked: "Village chief, where are we going this time? How many days will it take to get there? My family has run out of food, and I'm afraid we'll starve if we can't go anywhere." He’s dead!”

Other villagers also looked at the old village chief, and they also wanted to know where the village chief was taking them.

The old village chief already had an idea in mind. He pointed to the southwest of Yunzhou City and said, "Let's go to Linzhou City next door. I heard that Linzhou has a mild climate, a vast area and sparsely populated areas. It should be able to give us a place to settle down." .”

Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that they were going to Linzhou City next door.

At least they didn't have to go too far. If they had to go to several states and cities, they would probably be exhausted and starved to death before they even got there.

Huang wanted to say something else, but Qiao Dewang raised her head and glared at her fiercely. She shrank her neck in fright and quickly stepped back, not daring to speak any more.

Qiao Dewang said: "Village Chief, I have decided that my family will go with the others so that we can take care of each other. We are not familiar with the people in other villages, and I don't want to follow them."

The village chief nodded, but didn't say anything.

I just want to warn everyone again. Of course, I am mainly speaking to the Wang family and the Qiao Dewang family.

"Since everyone is fleeing to take care of each other, then we should stay in peace, unite with each other, and not have any different intentions. If anyone causes trouble that affects everyone's unity and safety, then get out of the team, and there will be no future life. Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, the Wang family couple and Qiao Dewang's faces turned red and white, but they could only nod along with everyone else, saying that they would definitely listen to the old village chief's arrangements and not cause trouble for everyone.

Huang snorted from his nostrils. Although he was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything at this time.

If the village chief didn't agree to take them away, the head of the family would definitely not be able to spare her.

The people of Qingshui Village finally decided that everyone should leave together.

The people in the other three villages watched them leave with complicated eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Mom, you see Hui Niang and Ran Yatou are leaving. Are you going to let them leave like this? They have so much food and they don't even bother to leave some for us. It's really unfilial. What do they think of you, mother? Already? Mother, you don’t care!"

Chen Liu, Mrs. Chen's eldest daughter-in-law, stamped her feet anxiously when she saw the Qiao family driving a carriage and pushing a cart and leaving with so much food.

When Mrs. Chen heard what her daughter-in-law said, she glared at her hard.

"Are you not convinced? Then go up and ask for food from them and see if they give it to you! Those white-eyed wolves, I curse them when they encounter bandits and wild beasts on the road. They all died violently, and their bones were gnawed by wild beasts after they died. Eat clean, die without a complete body, and go to the eighteenth level of hell!"

Mrs. Chen cursed fiercely, startling her eldest daughter-in-law who was always talking too much.

The curse from her mother-in-law was so cruel that it made her skin stand on end and the hairs all over her body stood up.

Just when Old Mrs. Chen was viciously cursing Qiao Ran and Chen Huiniang, Qiao Ran, who had followed the villagers some distance away from the city gate, suddenly turned around and stared at Old Mrs. Chen with a cold smile.

Mrs. Chen's eyes suddenly met Qiao Ran's cold eyes, and she was startled.

Even from such a distance, she still saw the fierceness in her eyes.

Suddenly, Mrs. Chen felt a cold air rising from the soles of her feet. She shivered and quickly looked away guiltily.

Qiao Ran knew without thinking that Mrs. Chen must be cursing their family with her moving mouth.

This damn old woman, do you really think she, Qiao Ran, is easy to bully?

Wait! That damn old woman's family owes everything to the original owner, and she must get it back for that poor girl!

The people in Qingshui Village separated from the people in the other three villages and continued walking around a path outside the Yunzhou City Wall.

In the team, Qiao Honglian was gnashing her teeth and cursing Qiao Ran in a low voice.

If she hadn't been so talkative, the people from Qingshui Village would have followed the people from other villages to stay, and there would be no need to move forward.

She didn't want to go any further. She had to carry Goudan'er on her back every day, and she was almost exhausted.

Qiao Ran felt so relaxed, she didn't have to carry things or carry people on her back, and she could even get into the carriage to rest. She was so comfortable that she was jealous.

She, Qiao Ran, wanted to leave, so she could just go by herself. Why should she instigate the village chief and ask everyone to continue walking with her?

Qiao Ran, that selfish and vicious stinky woman, she cursed her thousands of times and made her die a miserable death!

As if sensing her resentful gaze, Qiao Ran turned around.

Seeing the resentful expression on Qiao Honglian's face and the flash of panic in her eyes, Qiao Ran gently pulled her lower lip.

She didn't even bother to talk to Qiao Honglian, who was both incompetent and a monster.

As long as he doesn't seek death and takes the initiative to provoke her, she, Qiao Honglian, is just a nasty bug in her eyes, and she won't touch him if he can't.

But if she is ignorant and insists on running here to seek death, then she will let her do it. Although it is disgusting to crush a bedbug to death, when she can't bear it anymore, she has to eliminate the trouble forever.

There are 68 households in Qingshui Village, with a total of 518 people, old and young. Although it is separated from the other three villages, there are still a lot of people.

Moreover, they had been following the instructions of the old village chief, with the strong men protecting the surroundings and keeping the old, weak, women and children in the middle.

We walked like this for a few days without incident.

There are also a small number of refugees on this road. It seems that most of them stayed outside Yunzhou City. Some of them were unwilling to wait and continued walking forward.

There is no shortage of water in Yunzhou. The grass and trees on the roadside are more lush, so it is not that difficult to find water sources.

But just drinking water can't quench our hunger. There are a lot more wild vegetables on the roadside, but along the way everyone ate wild vegetables until their faces turned green.

Only the Qiao family seems to have never run out of food, which is very strange.
