Not everyone is qualified to be a parent. I don't know if it is a blessing to meet her, but I can be sure that I will not be abused in the future. Perhaps this is a blessing for the two children. They still had steamed buns in the evening, but with a wild vegetable soup, and Dahei also got one in the night.
Goudan was also detained by his parents, but he had fresh wild vegetable and brown rice porridge to eat, so the little guy didn't make a fuss. When the dusk was heavy, everyone fell asleep.
The two little girls slept in the carriage. According to Gulan's arrangement, the three little ones slept in the carriage, but AnAn didn't want to, and she couldn't put the two children outside to sleep, so she hugged AnAn and Dahei to rest outside.
Village Chief Li still arranged night watchmen. Outside Lingshan Town, there were not only people from Lijia Village and Xishan Village, but also victims who arrived earlier than them. They were seen by many people when they bought foods yesterday, so they had to be careful.
Gulan was not included in the night watchman's arrangement. First, he was not from Lijia Village. Second, even if he could be considered a relative of Old Man Li, he could be considered a family member. Third, he couldn't go to watch the night with a child. Only with the night watchman could everyone sleep peacefully. The night watchman rotated every half an hour, and it was quite peaceful until midnight.
"Brother Sun, let's go. It seems that there is no chance." A deliberately suppressed hoarse voice sounded in the dark night, looking at the black shadows walking back and forth in the distance.
They have been lying here for an hour or two, but unfortunately they didn't find a chance to take action. The night watchmen kept walking back and forth, so they couldn't do it when they wanted to steal some food.
They didn't dare to rob them, and they didn't have the strength. The fact that there were people patrolling the night showed that these people should be together and more united. It was estimated that they would be caught and beaten before they could rob them. Guns and food are for living, not for seeking death.
The man called Brother Sun looked at them a few more times and finally nodded. There was really no chance, so the group of people left secretly in the night. Overnight, no less than several groups of people came to the outskirts of Lijia Village to rest, but unfortunately they all left secretly. In this way, the big guys in Lijia Village slept until the sky turned bright, and spent a peaceful night.
At dawn, a group of young and middle-aged people could be clearly seen practicing in the gathering place of Lijia Village, which made the groups of people who watched from afar and did not take action last night breathe a sigh of relief. They were glad that they did not take action last night, otherwise they might really lose their lives.
After breakfast, several elders and the village chief of Lijia Village determined the route and prepared to set off. Usually, the best route is to go straight through Lingshan Town, but it is impossible to go through Lingshan Town now. If you don't want to stay here, you can only take a detour, which means that the distance will be at least one to two times longer. But there is no other way, you have to walk more.
In this way, the team set off, and Village Chief Zhao and the few dozen households in Xishan Village also left with them. They were not the only ones who left, but also some scattered individual households. In general, Gulan's team had fewer people than when they arrived.
It took them more than two days to bypass Lingshan Town and return to the correct route, continuing to head west.
Gulan drove the carriage happily, freeing her feet, feeling so good. Her son and Dahei sat beside her obediently, and Daya and Erya were in the carriage.
The little girls never dreamed that they would be able to sit in a carriage one day. As they became more and more relaxed, they smiled more and more, without the initial numbness and indifference to life.
Gulan rode well, but unfortunately she had never driven a carriage. If she hadn't asked Brother Li for advice during the half-day break, she would not have dared to drive a carriage with her son. Now the skills of driving a carriage have become more and more proficient, the basic skills have been mastered, and the carriage is relatively stable. The two extra horses were temporarily handed over to Brother Li and his people, leaving the Li family to transfer.
AnAn was in a good mood to be able to travel with his mother. He was smiling all the way, which made Gulan very happy. She once again praised her decision to buy a cart. It was really right.
If it weren't for the long team and the sluggish crop seedlings in the fields, and the yellow branches and leaves that fell everywhere, there would be a sense of déjà vu of playing and having fun. With the shout of the village chief, the team stopped. It was noon and it was time to rest and drink water after walking for half a day.
There were no other disaster victims along the way. They were all from Lijia Village, Xishan Village, and there were also scattered disaster victims. It was considered familiar, so everyone didn't find another place and rested directly in the shade on both sides of the road. Except for Gulan and a few other families, the others still had two or one meals. It was really just a rest.
Gulan was sitting by the tree under the carriage with the three little ones and Dahei to eat. The wild vegetable cakes she made earlier had been eaten. What she was holding in her hand was the one she and Daya had made in the early morning. She secretly added yeast and a box of milk. The taste was quite different from the previous one, and the food used was the grain purchased by Lingshan Town. It was a mixture of rough noodles and fine noodles. It was really rough, with only a little bit of noodles, and most of them were broken shells. Even if the fine noodles were much more expensive, they couldn't compare with the noodles in her world. But it was already very good food. The two little girls ate it very happily, including AnAn. Gulan was also not someone who couldn't endure hardships.
After eating and drinking water, Gulan took the three children to rest against the big tree, and Dahei was still lying beside the master, guarding diligently. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves and wheels broke the silence here. Gulan opened her eyes the moment she felt the sound, and her sharp eyes looked at the place where the sound came from with Dahei who found something unusual.
It was a convoy of about dozens of people. The people in the cart couldn't be seen, but the people guarding the cart could see that they were all guards, dressed in uniform and carrying weapons. The noise was so loud that everyone who was resting anywhere opened their eyes. AnAn, Daya and Erya also woke up, stood up and looked at the approaching convoy curiously.
At the same time, the convoy also discovered them. The guards on both sides looked at them with vigilant eyes, and one hand touched the weapon involuntarily. The cart was driving very fast, and soon passed their section of the road. Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, there were no unnecessary troubles. It was obvious that the people in the convoy were not ordinary people. Everyone was carrying weapons. It was better to leave quickly, so as not to accidentally bump into these people. Then they would be unlucky.
At the same time, the convoy also breathed a sigh of relief. These people were disaster victims and there were so many of them that they had to be careful. They encountered disaster victims who wanted to rob supplies more than once. They were also troubled by their crazy and completely reckless appearance. If it were just these disaster victims, they would not be so alert. The main reason was that the assassinations mixed in with the disaster victims were hard to guard against, and they lost nearly half of their brothers because of this. Fortunately, the victims they met were in good condition. Although they looked thin, they were not skinny. Their eyes were clear, not the numb and blank look they had seen along the way. When they saw their convoy, they did not look at them like wolves seeing meat, nor did they surround them. Otherwise, there would be a river of blood.
At the same time, they were relieved. They were accompanying their master to provide disaster relief. To be honest, killing the victims who were crazy about food was really unspeakable. When the convoy had walked about a few miles, a cold voice came from the largest and best cart.
