No matter whether it is going to the capital or wherever we stop on the way, it will always be better than staying in Linzhou City, which is besieged on all sides.

So the Wu family recruited the shopkeeper and asked them to immediately contact a few more kind colleagues in the city and resell the family shop to those families at a low price.

He quickly packed up the 20 or 30 bags of grain that Xinruan and He had specially left, took Uncle Chen and a few loyal servants, drove three carriages, and hurried out of the city, hoping to catch up with the people of Qingshui Village.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qianqian saw Wu Dawang's family in Qingshui Village shortly after leaving the city gate.

Hearing that they were also going to chase the people from Qingshui Village, he invited them into the carriage and drove them over together.

After hearing the reason, Mrs. Qiao nodded.

"This should be no problem. Just tell the old village chief. You orphans and widowers, the people in our village are very kind and we won't have any objection to taking you with us."

Mrs. Qiao asked Qiao Erhe to invite the old village chief over and explain the reason.

The old village chief nodded: "In that case, then come with us! It's just that the road to escape is difficult and hard, and there are many dangers. Are you sure you want to escape with us?"

Mrs. Wu quickly nodded: "Thank you for taking us in! Otherwise it would be more dangerous for us, orphans and widowers, to walk alone. Don't worry, we have made a decision. No matter how hard it is, it is better than staying in Linzhou City and waiting to be attacked by everyone. The jackals, tigers and leopards on the road have eaten all the dregs until they are strong enough. We are ready to go with you."

Mrs. Wu pointed to her three carriage driveway again:

"I know that food is very important for everyone on the road to escape famine. When I sold my shop, I asked them to keep these twenty-eight bags of rice and load them into two carriages. I don't have many family members, so I kept ten bags at home. Give the remaining eighteen bags to the people in the village! Thank you for being willing to take us in! I will trouble you all to take care of us in the future!"

The people of Qingshui Village didn't expect that Mrs. Wu would give them such a big gift. They didn't mind bringing these orphans and widows with them, and now they were even more willing to accept them.

You must know that all the money in the villagers' homes used to buy food and necessities along the way has been almost spent.

The dozen bags of grain brought back by Qiao Ran, plus the dozen bags of grain just bought from the town, were distributed to more than 50 households. Except for a few households with a larger population or more money, most of them In fact, no one can get even half a bag of rice.

This is still their life-saving food, and everyone is reluctant to eat it. Most of the time, they still try to dig wild vegetables to eat.

Now that Mrs. Wu has sent these dozen bags of food, at least they can have a little more protection.

The old village chief wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Wu was firm and insisted that they accept the grain.

So the team stopped and distributed the dozen bags of grain.

Everyone in Qingshui Village who received food was very happy and thanked Mrs. Wu for her kindness.

Everyone has no objections to the return of Wu Dawang and his family.

Wu Dawang's family is different from the Wang family and Qiao Dewang's family. They have not offended the villagers. They left the team and went to Linzhou Fucheng just to survive.

Now that they are willing to come back and there are more people in the team, everyone naturally welcomes them.

Shuanzi was in a low mood along the way. He thought that after this farewell, he would never see his parents, siblings again, and he would become a poor orphan.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of walking, his family members actually caught up with him and wanted to join the team back in the village.

The half-grown boy, who was about to become an adult, was so surprised that he seemed to be in a dream. He hugged his parents without letting go and cried heartily.

The villagers were happy to see the family reunited.

The Wu family distributed more than a dozen bags of grain and left an empty carriage. Mrs. Wu insisted on giving the empty carriage to the Qiao family to thank them for saving their granddaughter's life.

Mrs. Qiao couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to accept it.

So the Qiao family owned two carriages and a cart. Now the whole family could sit in the carriage and no longer had to travel hard.

The three Qiao Erhe brothers took turns driving the carriage and pushing the trolley, which made them feel much more relaxed.

The people in Qingshui Village were all grateful that Qiao Ran had brought them so many benefits. Although they were envious that their family could own two carriages and a cart, no one was jealous.

This is what everyone deserves. They are very happy to have so much benefit from Qiao Ran.

Only the Qiao Dewang family and the Wang family, who could not get any benefits, were so regretful that their intestines were green.

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have offended that dead girl Qiao Ran.

If you don't offend Qiao Ran, you won't offend the Qiao family, and you won't offend the entire Qingshui Village. Then they can get some of the benefits.

Now seeing how other people in Qingshui Village can receive so much free food makes them so jealous and regretful that they almost vomit blood.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. No matter how much they regret, it is useless. They are destined to only be envious, jealous and hateful in the future.

Everyone in Qingshui Village was happy to have received so much food. They felt energetic and much lighter.

Even if you walk on a rugged mountain road, you won't feel tired.

According to the map provided by the Wu family, the people of Qingshui Village abandoned the official road into Xuanzhou County and turned onto a path leading to the mountain next to the official road.

The road up the mountain is difficult, especially for people with carriages and carts.

The mountain road is rugged and overgrown with weeds. In some places, only a carriage can pass through it very carefully.

Everyone lined up in a long queue and walked carefully on the rugged mountain road with dense forests and high mountains.

This kind of mountain path is different from the wide official road. In order to prevent ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes from suddenly coming out to attack people, the old village chief arranged the order of everyone's walking on Qiao Ran's suggestion.

At the front, a dozen men armed with machetes, long sticks and other weapons were responsible for clearing the way. There were also a few men interspersed at intervals to protect the elderly, weak, women and children.

At the very back, there were also a dozen men responsible for cutting off the rear, in case there were ferocious beasts behind them to attack.

In this way, although the mountain road is difficult to travel, it is considered safe.

Moreover, this road is rarely traveled. The mountains are full of wild vegetables and fruits, and there are also several foods and fruits that Qiao Ran taught them that they had never known before.

When everyone stopped to rest, Qiao Ran took the men and young men to hunt.

After traveling for several days, we encountered no great danger.

Apart from the fact that it is a little more difficult than taking the official road, everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong with taking the small road.

I was even happy because I could get prey and wild vegetables and fruits to supplement my diet from time to time.
