The Zhang family and the others looked at the Zhang family's house that was engulfed by fire behind them.

Everyone had tears in their eyes and was extremely sad.

The moment they saw the fire, they didn't feel that deep sadness. It was only when they dragged their belongings out that they really felt that they had no home.

They are leaving their homes.

Xia Yunrou and Zhang Shuchuan came to this world and have been living with the Zhang family since then.

For them, this is their second home.

And now, in an instant, it was reduced to ashes!

"Oh, let's go!" Old Man Zhang cheered up, but his tone could not hide the sadness and loss.

Half of the families in the village escaped from the fire alive, and some of the remaining families had already moved south.

The rest was destroyed in the fire.

Everyone walked together in silence.

The sun is still blazing, making people unbearably hot.

Zhang Shuchuan secretly took out an ice cube when no one was paying attention and stuffed it into Xia Yunrou's mouth.

Xia Yunrou's mouth felt cold, and she instantly felt that most of the heat had gone away.

"Oh, there's a whole cellar of ice!" She felt sad when she thought of the ice cubes hidden away.

If it hadn't been for the fire, they would still be eating ice cream at home!

Now I have to walk to the south on two legs, and I feel exhausted just thinking about it.

She misses modern cars and high-speed trains so much now that she can be there as soon as she wakes up.

According to Old Man Zhang’s description, it would take at least two months for them to walk there!

If you don’t go, you can’t do it. If you don’t go, you will die of thirst where you are!

They walked for a long time and found a shade tree to stop and rest.

Although the people in the village have been working all year round and have good physical strength, there is no need to stop at all.

But there were many old, weak, women and children in the group, especially children, who were thirsty and hungry.

The Zhang family has three children, one of whom is Xiao Yunqi, who is only six or seven months old.

Xiao Yunqi was carried on Qin's back and slept most of the time. He only grunted when he was hungry or had diarrhea, so he was easy to take care of.

So several women from the Zhang family were rushing to take Xiao Yunqi over, but Xia Yunrou couldn't get involved at all.

There are also two children over two years old and one over one year old, the sons of Zhang Shuji and Zhang Shuyun respectively, their nicknames are Shitou and Zhuzhu.

The two children had no idea why the adults had to walk so many miles and were clamoring to go back.

There was originally a person in the village who disliked the Zhang family, named Mrs. Chen.

She listened to the children's commotion and felt quite gloating.

He was frightened and said, "Your home will be destroyed by fire!"

The child is already a little sensitive and can feel the sadness of his family, so he burst into tears when he heard this.

The Zhang family was angry at Mrs. Chen's words, but they couldn't do anything to her.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's proud look, Xia Yunrou picked up the stone at her feet and flicked it with her fingers.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Mrs. Chen suddenly felt a stinging pain in her buttocks and jumped forward.

Thinking he was bitten by a snake, he quickly jumped up and ran away.

Everyone was amused by her funny look, and the atmosphere became relaxed for a moment.

After resting, everyone stood up and continued walking south.

Anyang County is already on the border. It is a vast area and sparsely populated. A long way to the south is uninhabited, and the county seat is in the north, so they walked for almost a day without seeing a few houses.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the group was planning to find a place to spend the night.

I heard a rumbling sound.

"What's going on!? Is the earth dragon turning over?"

The group of people shouted in panic.

Xia Yunrou winked at Zhang Shuchuan, who understood.

Then he nimbly jumped under a big tree and saw a scene that shocked him through the sunset.

In front of them were groups of cavalry on tall horses, followed by patches of black water. All they could see were neatly arranged black spots, coming diagonally towards them!

As he got closer, he could clearly see the flag at the front.

That's the flag of the Empire's Xilin Kingdom!

"It's the Xilin Kingdom's army! Everyone, please find a hiding place and hide!"

Zhang Shuchuan quickly jumped down and said anxiously.

Ever since Xia Yunrou was scratched by a knife, he began to practice kung fu diligently and his body became much more flexible.

When everyone heard that it was the Imperial Army, they immediately panicked and fled in all directions.

The Zhang family didn't care about other people and hurriedly picked up their bags.

Old man Zhang took up the oxen and stopped using the oxcart.

He whipped the cow hard on its rear and drove it into a hidden cave.

The Zhang family followed closely behind.

Also following were five members of the Yu family who were good friends with the Zhang family.

The cave is not big, just enough to accommodate about thirty people.

The entrance to the cave was simply blocked with stones by Xia Yunrou and others, and it would be impossible to find it without looking carefully from the outside.

They huddled inside, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, followed by the sound of neat footsteps, not daring to leave their breath.

For a long time, there was no sound outside.

No one dared to make a sound.

After Xia Yunrou lay on the ground and listened carefully, she said, "Let's go."

Everyone relaxed.

Almost everyone's back was soaked with cold sweat.

If they were caught by Xilin soldiers, they would be disabled if not dead.

The Xilin Kingdom is not like the Daqian Kingdom, which governs the country with benevolence and strict laws. Their monarch was cruel, and so were their generals.

If caught, his head may fall to the ground, or he may be sent to Xilin for the entertainment of the Xilin nobles.

Therefore, Xia Yunrou shot those people on the mountain without any psychological burden.

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

Either he dies, or I die.

However, this is within the territory of Daqian Kingdom. Why are there so many Xilin troops?

Is it?

Everyone thought of this, and their faces instantly became ugly.

Their border defenses have been breached! !

There was a sudden burst of sobbing in the cave.

Originally, they still had some illusions. Maybe it would rain before they left for two days, so they wouldn't have to leave their hometown.

This illusion was finally broken by the Xilin Army.

The border is breached, but are their homes still there?

There is truly no going back!

......

"Spare your life! General, spare your life!"

The person kneeling on the ground and peeing was Mrs. Chen who was traveling with Xia Yunrou.

When Mrs. Chen heard the word Xilin shouted by Zhang Shuchuan, she ran away without paying any attention to the shouts of her son and daughter-in-law behind her.

I don't know how far I ran, but I met a group of Xilin Army troops on a narrow road.

She was so frightened that she froze in place.

The leader of the team was Xilingba, the only son of General Xilin.

Xilingba looked at the old lady from Daqian Country and smiled.

It just so happened that I didn't meet a single Dagan person along the way, so this woman brought it up.

He waved his hand to his subordinates to sneak the trembling Mrs. Chen in front of him.

Before she could ask any questions, the woman shouted for mercy.

Xiling Ba was originally a competitive man. After entering the military camp, his father never allowed him to lead troops. Although he became a deputy general, he did not have the soldiers that a deputy general should have.

His father said he had not learned the skills yet, but he never thought so.

To do this, he has to prove himself.

So, while his father was away on an expedition, he begged his father's most capable subordinate and the one who loved him the most to get his talisman and secretly led a group of men to follow his father's army.
