After a chaotic night, the little food left in Zhangjia Village was completely exhausted. There were cries and cries everywhere, and no one was spared. The victims simply did not hurt anyone after grabbing the food, although there were some villagers who resisted. They were injured, but no one died, which was a blessing among misfortunes.
Looking at the disappointed villagers, the village chief could only greet the whole village and let everyone prepare overnight, and joined the fleeing team. The direction they were walking was exactly the direction that the Zhang family was walking.
The villagers had no choice but to leave if they didn’t want to. They were attacked once and all the food on the surface was taken away. The food that was hidden more secretly could not last long. Some people still stuttered after leaving here. They really can only wait to die here. They can't withstand the second robbery. It's better to leave here as soon as possible while they still have the strength.
This time the villagers of Zhangjiacun were much faster. It only took two days to pack up all their belongings and left Zhangjiacun under the leadership of the village chief.
The Songjia Village was also looted by the victims not long after. Because of the old Song family's skill in hiding food, he was able to save most of the family's food.
Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem, and asked Song Dahai to find their second son. They wanted Song Dachuan to escape with them. With two strong laborers by their side, they could at least protect them.
They had food in their hands, and they could command the Dachuan family justifiably. However, the news they were waiting for was that Song Dachuan had left long ago, and now the entire Zhangjia Village was empty. Now they were Really dumbfounded.
On the other side, the Zhang family and Song Dachuan's family of more than 20 people left early and avoided the first big wave of victims. The first day's walk was smooth.
Because in the past few days when preparing to leave Zhangjiacun, Lianyi specifically told Mr. Zhang that at least everyone should have full stomachs in the past few days, otherwise they would not have the strength to make the journey. The things they carried were too much If you eat too much, you will attract people's attention. The food you eat is yours.
Lao Zhangtou is an old ginger. After being reminded by Lianyi, he immediately realized this, so in the five days before preparing to escape, the family ate two meals a day, and they were all seven-point full. , their complexions were visibly improved, they had eaten well and had strength, and they traveled fifteen kilometers on the first day.
Apart from going to the hut and stopping for a meal of solid food and water at noon, the group spent the rest of their time on the road.
Lianyi pushed his own flatbed truck, let Huiniang and Huzi sit on the truck filled with luggage, and pushed them steadily forward. Song Dachuan stood by with a stick in his hand and held a stick in his arms. Carrying a short knife was to prevent disaster victims from attacking them. This was a very necessary force to deter them.
On the way, Song Dachuan and his daughter would also switch to pull the cart, but most of the time it was Lianyi who was pulling the cart. Huiniang felt sorry for her daughter, so she would get out of the car and walk for a while, waiting until she couldn't keep up. Just get on the bus.
The Zhang family owns a cart. The old couple of the Zhang family also walk for a while, and they take turns riding each family's cart, trying not to fall behind. Except for the person pulling the cart, everyone can walk for a while and rest. Not particularly tiring.
On the other hand, Zhang Shi’s cart was always carrying the pregnant Liu. She was actually about to give birth, and no one dared to let her go too far, fearing that something might happen to her along the way.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that the family stopped under a crooked-neck tree. After looking around, Song Dachuan decided to use this place as a place to rest at night. Fortunately, although it was autumn, due to severe drought, The weather is hot and dry, so sleeping in the open air at night will not make you feel cold.
The Zhang family leaned against the crooked neck tree and formed a semicircle with carts. The space between the carts and the tree was where they would sleep tonight.
The bedding at home came in handy at this time. After laying out the bedding, the family lit a fire and cooked a pot of dried vegetable porridge, then soaked the pancakes until they were soft and ate a warm meal. , with something in their stomachs, they lay down to rest.
Lao Zhangtou knew that when sleeping outdoors, someone must stay vigil at night, otherwise someone would not even know what was going on. This matter became familiar to her, and she decided to stand on the first shift. At home, Zhang Zhong and his eldest son Zhang Fengliang were on duty for the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night it was Zhang Jun and his eldest son Zhang Fengyong.
After nightfall, those who were eyeing the old Zhang family finally made some movement. The group stayed up until everyone fell asleep and the night watchman began to take a nap, then they slowly moved over and thought In the middle of the night, all the Zhang family members were arrested, and the strong laborers were killed directly. The women and children were sold directly to human traffickers. These people still had food on them. In their eyes, they were a bunch of big fat sheep.
Ripple, who had long been aware of being followed, opened his eyes at this time, took out the evil weapon dagger from the space, and a wisp of black evil energy floated towards these people, causing the eyes of these crazy people to instantly turn into red, and then they started killing each other.
Lianyi then walked over and woke up his uncle and Zhang Fengliang. As the noise caused by the group of people biting and slashing each other became louder and louder, the Zhang family members were all awakened. "Shitou and Dachuan stay behind to protect the women and children. Boss, second, and third, you take a few boys to see what's going on, and take them all in your hands."
Although Old Man Zhang was also nervous, as the head of the family, he had to stay stable, so he immediately made arrangements, and everyone followed the instructions, holding sticks, kitchen knives and hatchets, slowly Move towards the small slope where the sound came from.
Lianyi knew that there was no danger, so she did not go over, but stayed at the camp.
Several girls were frightened, but they did not cry out. Instead, they nestled in their mothers' arms, staring closely at the small soil slope in the distance.
Ms. Liu was also frightened. The child in her belly seemed to be a little noisy. She was not satisfied with being woken up, so she started moving, which made Mrs. Liu's face turn pale. Zhang Shi on the side was holding his wife's hand. , slowly help her calm down.
Lianyi touched her nose and forgot that there was another pregnant woman. The noise was a bit loud. However, she also took the opportunity to remind everyone that there are many dangers along the way. You must be vigilant at all times, otherwise you will not reach the end of the journey. Continent, they are about to disperse.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zhong ran back with a few children with a bad expression:
"Dad, those people behind Xiaotupo are not well-intentioned, they seem to want to rob us , I just don’t know what I was fascinated by, and my own people were killing their own people there, and everyone was dead. Four or five were already dead.”
After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he wiped his face. The boys Zhang Fengliang and Zhang Fengyong turned pale. It was obviously their first time seeing a dead person, so they were sent back by their father and uncle.
"Is there no one else around?"
"No more!"
"Come on, take me over there and take a look, you little ones stay here, Don't go there."
Lao Zhangtou stood up immediately and said very courageously.
"Okay, Dad, be careful!"
Zhang Zhong immediately reached out to support his father.
"Old man, be careful!"
Lao Zhang immediately ordered.
“I know, you can wait here with peace of mind.”
After Lao Zhangtou left, the camp fell into silence again. After a while, Liu said weakly:
"Mom, I think I'm going to give birth!"
