Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

it's dark.

In this unknown forest, the 400 or 500 people who fled from Jiajia Village each designated a place as a family unit.

Everyone is sleeping outdoors tonight.

The night was lonely, and suddenly, a woman's suppressed sobs came from the resting place of someone's house.

The sobs seemed contagious.

After a while, the faint sobbing became more and more obvious and louder.

Then many women and women began to cry loudly.

Crying, they don’t know when they will be able to go home, or if there will ever be a day when they can go home again.

Crying for their natal relatives, wondering if they will ever have the chance to meet again in this life.

She cried even more, wondering where they should go in the days to come.

The women cried and the men felt uncomfortable.

They also miss home and their relatives who did not escape together.

They are more worried about whether they can survive in troubled times with their wives, children, and children at home.

The cries and sorrows lingered in the night sky, making people feel sad when they heard them.

The place where the Cheng family rests.

Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xiao Lin were also crying.

Mrs. Lin cried that she was old but had to leave the home where she had lived for most of her life.

The man who cried about her short and unhappy life would be left alone now that she was gone.

Mrs. Lin also cried for her natal brothers and family.

Although Mrs. Lin's relationship with her mother's family has been normal since she got married, how could she not miss her mother's family at such a time of life and death?

"What kind of bullshit is King An? Huh? There is already an emperor, and he still wants to fight for the throne! He makes us have to flee!"

What Mrs. Lin said was very rebellious, but no one stopped her because everyone thought so.

Wang's crying was naturally not because of her mother's family. She had long wished that her mother's family was gone.

Wang cried more because she was reluctant to leave her hometown and worried about whether her four children would be safe in troubled times.

Xiaolin, on the other hand, was crying that she couldn't let go of her parents and sisters.

In fact, Xiao Lin was luckier than others to a certain extent at this time.

Because none of her natal family members are eligible for military conscription, they can all stay at home.

However, I still want to cry. As long as I think that I may never see my parents and sisters again, I can't stop the sadness in my heart.

Only Aunt Cheng, because everyone she cares about is around her and she has no feelings for the two thatched houses that she rented after the separation, her mood is much more stable.

Cheng Wan opened his eyes, listening to the cries of Mrs. Lin and the others and the sighs of Cheng Daniu and the others, and his heart ached.

The taste of war is so bitter.

Early the next morning, before Maozheng, the people fleeing from Jiajia Village had already finished their breakfast and were ready to leave.

Yesterday we left the village in such a hurry, and the formation of the team and the distribution of personnel were very haphazard.

Today is different.

Under the arrangement of Village Chief Jia, there were three families with relatively strong labor force at the beginning and the end of the procession.

For example, Village Chief Jia’s own family and Mrs. Zhang’s family were placed at the front of the queue.

This kind of arrangement made by Village Chief Jia can prevent the dangers from the front and rear of the team to a certain extent.

Second, they can control the speed of the entire team to prevent anyone from falling behind.

In addition to the two ends of the queue, Village Chief Jia also made arrangements for the middle of the queue.

Village Chief Jia asked men aged over fifteen and under forty-five to walk on both sides of the queue with all kinds of things, while the old, weak, women and children were protected in the middle.

Moreover, the men of each family are very close to their own old, weak, women and children.

For example, Cheng Daniu, although he was walking on the outside of the team, he was less than two meters away from the Cheng family's carriage and mule carriage.

In the middle of the queue, Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping were sitting side by side in the front room of the carriage. Cheng Wan was teaching Daping how to drive the carriage.

Cheng Wan has made a plan. She will try to make every adult in the family learn to drive, so that everyone can alternate between driving and take a break while driving.

Just like now, not only Cheng Daping is learning, but also Mrs. Lin on the mule behind the carriage.

Cheng Wan also planned to learn to ride a horse after Cheng Daping learned to drive a carriage.

Riding a horse and driving a carriage are both very practical skills. Now that there are ready-made horses, Cheng Wan will not let go of this opportunity.

Ordinarily, given Cheng Wan's strength, he would definitely be more reliable than an average man, whether he was leading the battle or holding the battle.

However, Village Chief Jia felt that the Cheng family did not have many strong laborers, and there was a man temporarily lying in the carriage unable to move. It was unfair to the Cheng family to let Cheng Wan take the lead or hold off the battle.

As for placing Cheng Wan at the head and tail of the team, that was even more impossible.

On the way to escape, no one wants to be separated from their family members. If something happens, there will be no time to help.

Village Chief Jia felt that as long as Cheng Wanren was in the team, if anything happened, she would not stand by and watch indifferently. If she could help, she would definitely help.

Based on the above considerations, Village Chief Jia placed the Cheng family in the middle of the team.

Cheng Wan readily accepted Village Chief Jia's arrangement.

Cheng Wan really felt that Village Chief Jia was very capable of taking on tasks and good at arranging things.

The Cheng family now has two horses and a mule.

In fact, if they didn't move with the large army, the Cheng family would have traveled much faster.

But everything has pros and cons.

For the time being, moving with the large force is slower, but safer.

After all, these four or five hundred people walking together are quite capable of bluffing people.

In case you meet other refugees or robbers who block the road later.

Having a team of four to five hundred people behind you can save you a lot of trouble.

As noon approached, the sun in the sky became more and more fierce. It hit people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes and their brains became dizzy.

Village Chief Jia's second son walked back from the front of the team and stopped next to Cheng Wan. He was here to send a message to his father.

"Cheng Wan, my father is thinking about letting everyone take a rest. It's too hot, and we have been walking for a long time. Several of the kids in the team have cried."

Village Chief Jia's second son didn't quite understand why the team was asked to stop for a rest. His father wanted to send him to inform Cheng Wan.

It seemed that as long as Cheng Wan didn't agree, the guy would have to continue on his way.

His father is the village chief and he can make the decision on his own, right?

In fact, Village Chief Jia’s idea is very simple.

He just thinks Cheng Wan is very powerful, decisive in doing things, and has many ideas in his mind.

So before making any decision, he wanted to discuss it with Cheng Wan so that he could feel more at ease.

After all, this is not his family's business, but about the safety of four to five hundred people.

Don't be rash or careless.

Cheng Wan smiled politely at Village Chief Jia's second son, "No problem, we will follow the village chief's arrangements."

Village Chief Jia's second son was satisfied with Cheng Wan's attitude and was very polite to him without showing it on his face. He nodded slightly to the Cheng family and headed forward.

At this time, the person sitting next to Cheng Wan and learning to drive was Cheng Erping.

Cheng Erping looked at the leaving figure of Village Chief Jia's second son and frowned slightly, "Why do you feel that the Village Chief's second son is a little...a little awkward?"

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised at Cheng Erping's sensitivity.

"Village Chief Jia is not only the chief of our village, but also the chief of the Jia clan in our village. And he is the second son of the village chief. He used to be under the control of his eldest brother, but now..."

Cheng Wan shook his head and continued in a low voice: "He probably felt that he was different from us, so he was unhappy that the village chief asked him to tell me to stop the team to rest."
