After Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu drove the twelve people who were going to settle down into the city, Cheng Wan and the others were also ready to set off.

Forty-three people, after removing twelve people, there are thirty-one people left.

There is enough room for six cars.

Six cars formed a column and left the gate of Shuoyang City with a clatter.

Considering that Village Chief Jia and the others' bodies could not withstand the bumps, they returned even slower.

More than half an hour later, Cheng Erping drove the bullock cart and six carts drove into Pingnan Village one after another.

At this time, everyone in the village was busy working in the fields, so from the village entrance to home, I didn't meet any villagers.

"Milk! We brought the village chief and his friends back!"

Before the bullock cart stopped, Cheng Erping shouted into the courtyard.

Mrs. Lin and the others had already heard the noise. After all, the sound of six cars driving together was quite loud.

Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Song took the lead and many people came out of the yard.

"Ouch! What...what..."

Looking at the villagers of Jiajia Village in front of her, Old Mrs. Lin couldn't say anything suitable for a long time.

Finally, Mrs. Lin slapped her thigh hard, coughed hard, and suppressed the sobs that reached her throat.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry! Get out of the car."

Mrs. Lin and the others trotted to the car in batches to help the villagers from Jiajia Village, who looked very cautious and did not dare to move, out of the car.

At this moment, Xu Dafu shouted loudly to Mrs. Zhang: "Mom, come here quickly, Baoya is here."

Mrs. Zhang's family was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran towards the carriage that Xu Dafu was driving.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the dirty and emaciated girl in Xu Dafu's arms, her nose was sore, "Baoya, where are you nursing them?"

The girl who was called Baoya looked at Mrs. Zhang for a while, as if she finally recognized who Mrs. Zhang was, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Second...Second grandma, wow wow wow wow..."

Bao Ya cried loudly and stretched out her arms for Mrs. Zhang to hug her.

Mrs. Zhang quickly stretched out her arms to take the little girl from Xu Dafu's arms, patted the girl's back and coaxed her gently.

Xu Dafu glanced at Old Man Xu and the others with anxious eyes, wiped his face, and choked out: "Auntie's family is the only one left...only Baoya and Shuanzi are left. The others are either gone...gone, or separated. Yes, there are still people... who died on the way to Liangzhou."

Old Man Xu's vision went dark. If his third son hadn't been quick to hold him up with quick eyes and hands, Old Man Xu would have collapsed to the ground immediately.

"father!"

Old Man Xu took a few deep breaths before he calmed down a little.

"What about Shuanzi? Why don't you see him?!"

Old man Xu looked at the people around him sadly, looking for the bolt anxiously.

That was probably the only surviving member of his third brother's family!

"Shuanzi has settled in the city. The two children must have household registration."

"Dad, Shuanzi is only fourteen years old, and Baoya is even younger, only five years old. These two children can survive and follow them all the way to Liangzhou, thanks to the village chief and the others. Otherwise..."

Old Man Xu nodded with tears in his eyes, "I am determined...to remember this sentiment."

"Third brother, my eldest brother and his family didn't follow us to escape. Now your family is... like this again. What... what should we do? Wuwuwu..."

Old man Xu cried out of breath while leaning on his third son. Mrs. Zhang and the others also kept wiping away their tears.

Mrs. Zhang does not have a good relationship with her younger siblings, Baoya's grandmother.

There is no other reason than that the two of them just don't get along.

Mrs. Zhang looks down on Bao Ya's petty and mean attitude.

Bao Ya also thinks that Mrs. Zhang is too aggressive and unreasonable, and she can't always talk to Mrs. Zhang.

The women in charge of the two families couldn't get along and would argue almost every time they met. As a result, even though the two families were close blood relatives, their relationship was very ordinary.

But compared with human lives, those discords, disdains, and quarrels are really nothing.

No matter how much Mrs. Zhang hates Bao Ya, she sincerely hopes that her siblings and the whole family will be safe.

Mrs. Zhang's family was devastated, and Mrs. Song's family not far away were also mourning.

"Brothers and sisters, I really regret it. Our family should have followed you to Liangzhou in the first place. We should not have had to go to some... nonsense capital. We should not have thought that with the emperor in the capital, we would have a way to survive."

The old lady slumped on the ground was Mrs. Song's sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun was so angry that she beat the ground and cried loudly: "Brothers and sisters, there are ten...more than a dozen people in our family. Only me, Erqing, and Goudan'er are left. There are three of us, more than a dozen!"

Goudan'er is the grandson of Granny Sun and the son of her second son Erqing.

"There is also the second child's family, and only Xiuxiu, her mother, younger siblings, so many people, so many people! They are all gone!"

Mrs. Song's man is the third of four brothers.

Today, the eldest family is Mrs. Sun’s family, with three people left.

The second child's family consists of a twelve-year-old girl and her mother.

The fourth child's family did not follow him in the village.

Mrs. Song looked at Mrs. Sun who was crying heartbrokenly, and then looked up at Xiuxiu and Goudan who were crying out of breath behind Mrs. Sun. She felt as if a big stone had been pressed down on her heart and she couldn't breathe.

"Sister-in-law, maybe they just got separated and are still... still alive. Don't... don't think so bad."

Grandma Sun shook her head, "You don't... don't know, you don't know how ruthless those soldiers are. We just want to beg for a way to survive, that's all, they won't let us go, brothers and sisters, they It’s too cruel! It’s too cruel!”

Mrs. Sun's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, and her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.

Dozens of people gathered together, and the sounds of howling, sobbing, and cursing... resounded through the sky.

"Girl Wan, I originally advised you to go to the capital together. Hahaha... It's all my fault. I led them to the capital."

Village Chief Jia's waist was hunched, as if his backbone had been ripped out. Cheng Wan's heart clenched when she looked at Village Chief Jia like this.

"Village chief, this is not your fault, it is the fault of the person sitting on the dragon throne. He does not take the lives of the people into consideration."

"Besides, everyone agreed with me when I chose to go to the capital. When we parted that day, you also asked us whether we should go to Liangzhou or the capital. We all firmly chose to go to the capital."

"Looking at it at the time, there was nothing wrong with choosing to go to the capital. No one could have imagined what happened next."

A wry smile appeared on Village Chief Jia's face, "You girl are really good at comforting people."

Cheng Wan said seriously: "I'm just telling the truth, and everyone must be thinking so. No one blames you, otherwise they won't continue to listen to you, and they won't still respect you so much."

Village Chief Jia smiled and said no more.

But there was bottomless pain and self-blame in his cloudy eyes.

So many lives...
