If anything happens on the way, I will have to pick him up and run together.

The village chief was so angry that he was blowing his nose and glaring, but he also knew that these brats were doing it for his own good, so he didn't insist on following them. He knew his own body weight very well.

"Fellow villagers, please have a few more nice words. They will have to leave soon."

"Are you guys all ready?"

The village chief asked loudly.

"Everyone is here, Village Chief!"

"We have everything on our backs. Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of ourselves."

The men in the village responded loudly and crowded at the entrance of the village. Now that they had more people and greater strength, they no longer felt the fear they had before.

Instead, like Cui Yunzhu, he was full of expectations for transporting grain, hoping to get more food for his family.

There are more than 100 households in Yulin Village. Some families only have one able-bodied man, while some families have no one.

But when you add up the numbers, the number of people who have registered actually reaches an integer, a full 100!

The village chief just divided the 100 people into two teams.

The first team was led by Chen Yan and Chen Ping, and people they were familiar with, such as Wang Dafu, were also in the team.

The second team was led by Chen Jixiang and Gao Yingming.

The two teams set out one hour apart, carrying the carts collected by the villagers, and headed for Migu Village one after another.

It was easier to travel at night. Fifty strong men split into two groups and dragged empty carts along the official road.

Even if some people were eager to rob, they would definitely be afraid when they saw that the cart was empty and everyone in the group was strong.

Nothing serious would go wrong on the way there, but the village chief was worried that when he came back, how would he transport those cartloads of food away from the eyes and ears of the refugees on the road?

this is a big problem!

When they went back to prepare, the village chief specifically told them to remember to carry food and water with them.

Each family should prepare their own dry food, and try to prepare some that are light and easy to carry, so that nothing can be seen when you carry them with you.

As for the water bottles, they were all filled to the brim. Everyone carried their own, and it was enough for the round trip.

Everyone said goodbye to each other for a long time at the entrance of the village. Zheng and little Zheng came to see them off. Cui Yunzhu had not had the time to leave with them yet, so of course she just stayed beside her mother-in-law and pretended to be reluctant to leave.

Chen Yan could hardly hold back his laughter when he saw this.

Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him hard. "How can you be so stupid? Your wife is so distressed that she almost cried her eyes out, and you are still laughing and joking like a fool. If I didn't see that you also wanted to earn some money for the family, I would have thought you were out having fun."

Cui Yunzhu: Crying blind? That’s not that exaggerated…

This time Cui Yunzhu couldn't help laughing.

Little Zheng looked at the third brother with a helpless look on her face.

"Okay, mom, stop talking. The young couple must have said goodbye at home. The third child is not an unstable child. Don't worry."

"Hey, I'm just afraid that he's so playful now that he can't concentrate on paying attention to the things around him on the road."

"Oh! Mom, please don't curse me. I don't have a child yet. I will definitely come back safely! I'm hoping to have a child with my wife after this matter is over!"

Chen Yan said suddenly.

"Screw you!"

Cui Yunzhu blushed instantly, her face turned red, and she hit him with a smile.

It was the first time that he acted so unruly in front of everyone and spoke without restraint. Zheng felt too embarrassed to say anything when she heard it.

Little Zheng glanced at the two of them with a joking look, then she carried Yaoyao and went to talk to Chen Ping. They would be separated for several days, and most importantly, she was worried, so she had to give him some good advice.

Seeing that people coming to see off the people he was traveling with, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel sad. Although he didn't tell the young lady about the granary before leaving, Lin Ye couldn't bear it and told her that the young master had exchanged her and Gao Ze's lives for something.

Who knew that the young lady not only didn't appreciate it, but also started to fight and swear wildly in the room.

Not only did he not understand the young master's painstaking efforts, he was even less worried about the danger of their trip!

Alas, it’s really true that comparing yourself with others will make you feel thwarted.

Lin Ye secretly glanced at the young master and found that there was no sadness in his eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

........

Chen Yan's team set off first. As everyone watched, 50 men pulling ten carts slowly disappeared into the night.

For the first half hour, I didn't meet anyone on the road.

Presumably, those refugees also knew that the official road was dangerous, so they would hide in the small roads to rest at night to avoid being stolen or robbed, so Chen Yan and his group had a relatively smooth journey.

But in the second half of the night, when they passed a small valley, they heard sporadic noises coming from the front. Chen Yan immediately stopped the team alertly, and everyone held their weapons.

Chen Ping approached with a torch and found an old woman huddled in the grass with a thin child. She saw that the men were tall and ferocious, and there were so many of them, so she shrank back into the grass in fear, muttering something tremblingly.

"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."

It seemed that the old woman was a little crazy. The child in her arms spread out his hands weakly and lay in her arms, dying.

Seeing everyone looking at them with pity, Chen Ping glanced at Chen Yan, and after getting his brother's permission, he took out a piece of cake that his wife had baked for him before they set out from his bag and gave it to the woman, then he sighed and continued to return to the team.

Everyone continued on their journey, but they did not feel as good as they did before they set out.

"Scenery like this can be seen everywhere. It's okay to be soft-hearted once, but if you see everyone being soft-hearted, no matter how much food you have, it won't be enough."

Chen Yan and Chen Ping were walking side by side when he suddenly spoke.

Chen Ping knew that he did not have that much food to give away, but he could not help but feel pity when he saw the scene before him.

It would be fine if it was a middle-aged man, but how could we turn a blind eye to women, children and adolescents?

"Second brother, this is how the world works. You have to learn to adapt."

"You speak as if you've experienced this before."

Chen Ping concealed the sadness in his eyes and punched Chen Yan happily.

Chen Yan rubbed his chest in pain. He knew that Lao Er was angry and he was too lazy to argue with him. He continued on his way in silence.

After the group of people left, the old woman who had been crazy just now regained a bit of clarity in her eyes. She quickly looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she took out the piece of cake that Chen Ping had just given her from her arms.

She carefully broke the biscuit into small pieces and stuffed them into the mouth of the child in her arms.
