First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

After dinner, they packed up and continued on their way. This place was farther from Wanning Prefecture than Huainan City.

It took them nearly half a month to get to Huainan City. Even if they had an ox cart to go to Wanning Prefecture, it would probably take more than ten days.

The ox cart was not fast, but it was much faster than walking. People who were fleeing to Wanning Prefecture on the road were envious when they saw the ox cart passing by.

Of course, there were even more people who were jealous. Ye Shian took out a dagger from his arms, which he bought specially for Yinzhu in Huainan City.

She handed the dagger to Yinzhu: "Yinzhu, take this. If anyone wants to bully us, we will fight them."

Yinzhu took the shining dagger and put it on her waist: "Don't worry, Shi'an, I will take good care of myself and will not be a burden to you and Aunt Ye."

Yu Xiuying was unhappy: "What do you mean by burden or not? You are not a burden to us. Come, Ziyuan, let Sister Yinzhu hug you."

Yinzhu was eager to do something. She took Ziyuan. Ziyuan seemed to like Yinzhu very much and grinned at her.

Yu Xiuying was surprised: "Oh, look, our Ziyuan really likes Sister Yinzhu, right?"

Ye Shian followed the ox cart, feeling jealous: "It's over, it's over, someone will compete with Second Sister for favor from now on, wuwuwuwu... Little Ziyuan, you can't get tired of the old and love the new..."

"Look at what your second sister said. She even used the phrase 'getting tired of the old and loving the new' to describe it here."

The sounds of talking and laughing on the ox cart could be heard far away, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless people on the road who were trying hard to survive.

But their comfort brought darkness to people's hearts...

The group of people following behind their ox carts looked at each other, and then tacitly quickened their pace. There were more than just a few of them, and slowly more and more people followed behind their ox carts.

Yu Xiuying and Yinzhu were sitting in the car with their backs against Ye Shian, and they soon realized something was wrong.

"Shian, hurry up."

But the speed of the ox cart is just like that, how fast can it be? Ye Shian had already thought of this when she bought the ox cart, so she was not too worried. If these people really dared to cause trouble, she, Ye Shian, would not be a pushover.

She deliberately stood up from the ox cart: "What's wrong, mother?"

As she spoke, she deliberately revealed the big knife on her waist. She had kept the big knife on her body since she left Huainan City. She was just imitating the bearded man and her purpose was to intimidate these people.

As they walked, they saw a village not far ahead. Yinzhu shouted happily, "There's a village. We don't have to sleep outside tonight."

Yu Xiuying was also very happy and urged Ye Shian to come over quickly.

But before they reached the village, they were blocked by a group of strong laborers: "Go, go, go! You are not allowed to enter the village."

Yinzhu didn't understand: "We just want to stay for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."

"No, leave now."

Yu Xiuying frowned as if she didn't understand why these people were so fierce.

Ye Shian glanced at the refugees and seemed to understand: "Sorry to bother you."

After saying this, he drove the ox cart back towards the main road.

Yu Xiuying held Ziyuan in her arms and looked at the village getting farther and farther away and said, "This village is so close to the main road, it must have been harassed by refugees, otherwise there wouldn't be strong laborers guarding the entrance to the village."

Ye Shian also thought so: "I'm afraid it's more than just harassment."

The villages here have not been affected by the flood, but I'm afraid they have been severely harmed by the refugees.

It was fine if they had food, but those who had no food were so hungry that they even dared to eat people, let alone rob people.

After walking for a while, they chose a place with few people and close to water to rest.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Yinzhu took the initiative to collect firewood. Yu Xiuying sat on the ox cart holding Ziyuan, and Ye Shian ran to fetch water nearby.

Seeing that she was alone with a child in her arms, a woman not far away stood up and walked towards her.

“Ziyuan, call me mother, mother, mother. When will our Ziyuan call me mother…”

Just as she was teasing Ziyuan, she felt someone approaching. She thought it was Yinzhu or Shi'an coming back. She smiled and looked up, only to see it was a strange woman with a little boy of about six or seven years old.

"Miss."

Seeing that it was a woman with a child, Yu Xiuying was not so defensive. She gave her a faint smile and lowered her head to continue teasing Ziyuan in her arms.

"Sister, your child eats so well." The woman continued to talk.

"Sister, your family is well off, right? You can still make a bullock cart at this time, so your family must be well off."

"Sister, do you have anything to eat? Can you give some to my baby?"

"We don't ask for much, we just want to give the child something to eat and not let him starve to death."

Yu Xiuying had seen many sinister people on the road, so how could she dare to show the food easily? She was not a fool. The group of people not far away were watching this place.

She smiled faintly and replied, "We don't have anything to eat either, where can we get you food?"

The woman stretched her neck to look at the ox cart and said, "Sister, you are not honest. Isn't that a bag of grain?"

Yu Xiuying was already a little unhappy at this time: "Those are just clothes. We are only going to the village ahead. How can we bring food with us?"

"Big sister, you can't lie to me. If you are going to the front, why do you want to stay here overnight?"

Seeing the woman pressing on, Yu Xiuying lost her good temper. She said sternly, "I can spend the night wherever I want. Do I need to tell you?"

Seeing that Yu Xiuying was angry, the woman quickly apologized: "Don't misunderstand, big sister, I didn't mean that."

After saying that, she pushed the little boy next to her hard, and the little boy staggered to Yu Xiuying.

The boy was very skinny. He looked at Yu Xiuying pitifully and stretched out his hand: "Auntie, please be kind and give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for several days."

Seeing that the child was dirty, Yu Xiuying felt pity for him, but she was just moved and did not dare to put herself and her daughter in danger.

"My child, it's not that I'm cruel, I really have nothing to eat."

"But I'm really hungry, Auntie, please be kind."

Seeing the little boy so pitiful, Yu Xiuying was about to soften her heart and give him food, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the woman actually running to rummage through the things on the ox cart.

She was furious: "What are you doing?"

She picked up the whip and hit the woman's hand: "How dare you turn over something that is not yours."

The woman covered her hand and gasped in pain: "Why are you hitting me for no reason?"

"I'm going to hit you. I'm still here, and you dare to look through my things."

Seeing that Yu Xiuying was not easy to deal with, the woman simply stopped pretending and said, "You black-hearted vicious woman, why can't you give us food if you have it? We are starving to death."

"It's none of my business if you starve to death. Get out of here now, or I'll be rude to you."

"Hey, you're still rude to me. You hit me, and you still dare to be rude to me? Okay, just wait for me."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned to the people not far away and began to shout: "Hey, come here quickly, there is food here, lots of food."

This shout was of no consequence, as all the refugees nearby looked over here, and the woman's family members all came over in a rush.
