Everyone started crying as they walked. They really couldn't bear to leave! I can't bear to leave this land and my home where I have lived all my life. Now that I'm gone, I don't know when I can come back.

The whole procession was like a funeral procession, with wailing sounds from beginning to end. Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang did not cry, but the atmosphere was also very gloomy.

But Li Qingxiu didn't have time to cry. She put the hatchet into Qingfeng Li's hand and said to him: "Hold the hatchet. If anyone dares to steal our things or strangers approach us, just use the hatchet to chop them. "

"Sister, I can't do it! I'm afraid!" Li Qingfeng didn't feel anything while holding the hatchet. But when he heard Li Qingxiu asked him to kill someone. His little hand holding the hatchet was shaking a little.

Li Qingxiu looked at Qingfeng Li's trembling little hands and suddenly felt that she was not human.

"Don't worry, my sister is by your side, but there are times when I can't care about you. Then let me ask you, if they want to rob my sister or kill my sister, will you be there to watch?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li quickly said: "Definitely not, I will definitely protect my sister and sister."

"Then what kind of protection are you using? Are you going to push your little head into someone's belly?" Li Qingxiu asked with narrowed eyes.

Qingfeng Li thought for a while and seemed to have made a big decision. "I...I have a hatchet!"

Li Erzhuang, who was leading the bullock cart behind, twitched his lips and couldn't help but interject: "Qingxiu, please don't force Xiaofeng. He is still a child. Well, you are also a child. Are our two families here?" You’ll let others hurt you.”

Hearing this, Li Qingxiu smiled and said: "Second Uncle, of course I know that you and Big Strong Uncle will protect us, but we must also strengthen ourselves. We still have to rely on ourselves in a life-or-death situation. I will ask him to be more ruthless and escape here. The chances of surviving on the road will also be higher.”

Li Erzhuang looked at Li Qingxiu in surprise. Sometimes he always felt that Li Qingxiu's behavior and conversation did not look like an eight or nine-year-old girl, but like an adult.

The sun was scorching in the sky, there was no wind at all, and the surrounding air was like a billowing heat wave.

The scorching sunshine heated up the yellow dirt road, and those wearing straw sandals felt as if the sandals under their soles were rubbing against the ground, causing sparks to form.

Everyone was sweating profusely now, and the front and back of their shirts were all wet. They had only been walking for an hour now, and they felt that their steps were getting heavier and heavier as they walked, and they could no longer hold on.

Especially the sweat on the foreheads of the men pushing a bunch of luggage carts never stopped. Careful women will wipe their sweat to prevent the sweat from flowing into their eyes and hurting their eyes.

Many children were so badly exposed to the sun that their faces turned red even if they covered their heads with a piece of clothing.

Gradually one or two of them started crying and asking for water. The woman was so noisy that she couldn't help it, so she fed him a small mouthful. But a small sip is not enough. Instead, the children feel thirstier and clamor for water.

But there is only so much water in total. If you drink it all at once, how will you be able to walk the rest of the way? So the women stopped giving him water to drink. The children were so thirsty that they cried loudly.

The crying of the children made the already exhausted men even more irritable.

Then the entire team started scolding the wife, beating and scolding the children, and the children were crying. It was really lively for a while.

"You debt collectors! Why are you making such a fuss? If you make any more noise, I will throw you away."

"There's no water for you to drink, so you might as well drink my blood."

"Oh, you are indeed a bitch! If the child wants water, just give it to him. It's so noisy!"

"Mom! I want to drink water. I'm so thirsty and hot."

Li Qingxiu in the team also felt hot. But the three siblings are much better than them, because they wore bamboo hats for themselves early.

Li Qingxiu also put mint powder, a little sugar and salt in the water bag, which makes it cool and replenishes energy.

Also, the shoes under my feet are cloth shoes produced by the system. They are very breathable, dry, and not stuffy to wear. The most important thing is that they are comfortable and do not chafe my feet. I've been walking for two hours and my feet don't hurt at all, but my legs are very sore.

They had been walking for two hours, which in modern terms was four hours. Qingfeng Li couldn't hold on after being gone for an hour.

Li Qing directly let him sit in the stroller, so that he could rest and take care of the baby. Because the baby was also awake at this time, hungry and crying for milk.

Li Erzhuang originally wanted Li Qingfeng to ride in his own bullock cart. But Li Qingxiu refused, saying that there was a place on the stroller where he could lie down.

Li Qingxiu didn't use much force to push the cart. She just walked for two hours, and her legs were really not as weak as usual. But she had no choice but to hold on until she could rest.

Along the way. One after another, they saw many teams starting to flee like them. It's just not as big as their village, ranging from two or three people to one or two hundred.

And now everyone has more or less dry food with them, so everything goes smoothly along the way.

I saw the sun was setting in the west. There was a forest not far ahead. He decided to rest under the woods tonight.

He informed his son Li Xuan of his decision. Although Li Xuan felt that his feet were almost no longer his own.

But he still said worriedly: "Dad, I think our team's journey is still a little slow. It took more than two hours today to walk fifteen miles. This is normal..."

Li Zheng directly waved his hand to interrupt Li Xuan's next words: "That's different. I usually pick up two loads of mountain goods to sell in the town, but now I have to carry the entire family on my shoulders. How can I walk faster? Besides, today It’s the first day, we have to give them time to adapt, and we’ll speed up the trip tomorrow.”

After speaking, Li Zheng turned around and looked back, and then said: "You see, they all look exhausted. If they don't go to bed early today, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tomorrow."

Li Xuan didn't say anything after hearing what his father said, but tried hard to keep walking forward with his heavy legs.

When the team finally reached the forest that Rizheng had chosen, Rizheng shouted loudly: "We will rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of joy. Especially the men, they all quickly found a place to get shade, put the things on their shoulders or the wheelbarrows in their hands and lay down directly on the ground.

The moment they lay down, the men all sighed in their hearts. oops! It's so comfortable to lie down on. This whole afternoon almost exhausted them to death, even farming was not so tiring.

Women don't dare to lie down like men. They first take their children to a place farther away to solve their physical problems. When I came back, I had to pick up a pile of firewood and start a fire to boil water for cooking.

Li Qingxiu was no exception. She directly pushed the baby stroller to a place far away from the team, and then the siblings took turns to deal with it and look out for each other.
