Ye Shian noticed the sharp gaze again, and she found an excuse to get up and walk to a less crowded place. Yu Xiuying thought her daughter was going to the bathroom, so she got up and followed her. Ye Shian waved his hand quickly.

"Mom, there are people everywhere, don't worry."

She wanted to refute her daughter, but Ziyuan beside her was whimpering and seemed about to cry. Yu Xiuying had no choice but to take care of her younger daughter first.

"Then come back quickly." Yu Xiuying lowered her voice and instructed her daughter.

Ye Shian also responded in a low voice and walked to the corner.

Not long after Ye Shian walked over, two figures quietly followed.

"Well, where are the people?"

"I clearly saw him coming this way just now."

"Did he go back?"

"Impossible, I'm looking for it..."

Pengshan and Yuqing bent over, carefully identifying places where people could hide.

Ye Shian jumped down from the tree and landed behind the two of them: "Hey, what are you looking for?"

The two of them turned back at the same time, and Peng Shan laughed obscenely: "Hey, little girl, I've been watching you for a whole day, and now you're finally alone."

Ye Shian put her hands behind her back, with no fear on her face: "What do you want to do?"

Yu Qing spat viciously: "What do we want? Of course, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

As they spoke, the two men rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Ye Shian.

"Little girl, today I will let you know how powerful your brother is."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, don't alarm the people over there."

Peng Shan was the first to rush towards Ye Shian as he spoke. Before he touched Ye Shian, he heard him cry out "Ouch".

A smile spread across Ye Shian's lips: "You should thank socialism for saving your lives."

If he had not been born in such a peaceful era, Ye Shian might have killed these two people instead of just beating them up.

Ye Shian took a baton in his hand and hit the two men hard. The two men never thought that Ye Shian would have a self-defense weapon, and it was the kind of thing that could kill half of their lives in one blow.

"Oh my, oh my, help, help, someone help me..."

"Murder, murder, ah..."

On the quiet hill, two people ran into the crowd like crazy.

Yu Xiuying saw someone running out from Ye Shian's direction, shouting for help while running. She left Zi Yuan behind and went there, just in time to meet Ye Shian walking back slowly.

"Shian, are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine." Ye Shian smiled gently. She took Yu Xiuying's arm and walked back: "Let's go back."

When the two passed by Pengshan and Yuqing, they were trembling with fear. When Ye Shian and his daughter walked away, they collapsed to the ground, feeling that their bones were broken.

"You knew they would go with you, so you never let me go." Yu Xiuying was angry and distressed.

"No, mother, I didn't know they would go there either."

"Really?"

"real."

Yu Xiuying was suspicious: "Anyway, I can't take the risk of knowing it in the future, right?"

Ye Shian responded with "hmm", nodding his head frequently.

On the second day, the flood outside the county town had receded, and more villagers were waiting outside the county town.

The flood receded, leaving behind silt that covered everything. The mud houses were mixed with the silt, and the roofs made of red mountain grass drifted away to who knows where, or were simply buried together with the mud.

The brick houses were not much better. Some were washed down and some rooms were filled with silt.

In short, wherever there is silt, there is no place for people to stay.

The people had little food left, and now they had nothing to eat, not even tree bark or grass roots. They hoped that the county magistrate would take care of them and give them something to eat.

But the county magistrate stayed in the county town and refused to come out.

The people outside the city gate became more and more excited, and they kept shouting and cursing, asking the county magistrate to come out.

I don’t know who was the first to take action, but the others followed suit and smashed the city gate like crazy.

"Open the door, open the door, give us food, we are starving to death."

"Open the door quickly, we want to eat..."

"Open the door, open the door..."

Ye Shian knew that if no one came out to control the situation, it would only get worse.

"Mom, we can't stay here anymore, we have to leave."

Yu was in a dilemma: "Why don't you wait for your aunt? Your uncle Zhang is still in the county town and we don't know what's going on."

It’s not that Ye Shian doesn’t want to go with Zhang Guifang and the others, it’s just that if they go together they will reveal too much, which will be too dangerous. She is already taking a risk by telling Ye Xiuying the secret of the space.

Although Zhang Guifang's family is nice, she can't gamble.

"The reason why the county didn't open the city gates is probably because they are afraid that the people will go in and cause riots. As for the people in the county town, they should be fine. And we can't always rely on others to take care of us. The three of us will always be a burden to them, right?"

As for the reason that Ye Shian did not say, Yu Xiuying also thought of it. She thought about it for a while and felt that what Ye Shian said made sense.

"Then I'll go talk to your Aunt Zhang. You wait here."

Zhang Guifang couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Xiuying, it's really not safe for you three to leave. Why don't you wait a little longer until your eldest brother comes with us, so that we can have someone to take care of us."

Yu Xiuying took Zhang Guifang's hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Zhang, but we can't always rely on your family, right? There are so many people on this road, nothing will happen."

"Alas, some people are not human beings, but beasts in human skin. It was okay during peacetime, but in this situation, who knows what they will do."

Ye Shian walked to Ye Xiuying and smiled kindly at Zhang Guifang: "Don't worry, Auntie. We will be very careful. Many people in Huaishu Village have decided to go to Huainan City. We will follow them. After all, we are from the same village. They will take care of us a little bit."

Zhang Guifang wanted to say something, but Zhang Huai came over and touched his mother's arm: "Aunt Yu, Shi'an, since you have decided, we won't say anything more. After Dad comes out, we should go to Huainan City anyway."

Yu Xiuying glanced around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she secretly took out a bag of fried noodles from her backpack.

"Mrs. Zhang, take this."

Zhang Guifang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but raise her voice: "You, where are you from?"

She realized that her voice was too loud and looked around in panic. After making sure that no one was looking in her direction, she lowered her voice and said, "Xiuying, we can't take this. You three should keep it. We don't know what will happen along the way. It's always better to have some food with you."

Yu Xiuying pushed back the fried noodles that Zhang Guifang had pushed over to her: "We still have some, you can take these."

"This……"

Ye Shian was ready to go at this moment. Seeing the two people still pushing and shoving each other, he said helplessly: "Auntie, just take it. We are giving it to you because we have it. If you don't want it, we won't give it to you."

Zhang Guifang saw that she couldn't refuse and had to take it: "Well, I'll take it then."

The two families exchanged polite words for a while before Ye Shian and Yu followed the crowd to Huainan City.
