After the system ran, I took off with my family

However, when the refugees saw that they were riding in both horse and mule carts and that there were so few of them, they became malicious.

They unreasonably asked Li to give them food, but Li of course refused, so they rushed up and tried to rob him.

After Li and Lin Shuyuan beat back several people, they began to be afraid.

But they were unwilling to give up, so they surrounded Li's team and the two sides confronted each other.

When Lin Shuyan heard what Li said, his eyes turned cold. He tiptoed and rushed into the crowd.

He quickly grabbed the person who had just shouted and jumped back to Lin An.

The refugees were frightened by Lin Shuyan's move and retreated together.

The man in Lin Shuyan's hand reacted and tried hard to break free from his hand: "Let me go!"

Lin Shuyan glanced at the shifty man and asked what his parents thought.

"Break one of his hands and make an example of him." Lin An's voice was cold.

"Brother, please forgive me, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me!"

Seeing that the young man holding him was really going to attack him, Li Er cried bitterly and begged for mercy.

Lin Shuyan let go of him in disgust. Seeing this, Li Er tried to run away, but Lin Shuyan grabbed him by the collar.

"Why are you running? Weren't you very brave just now?" After saying that, Lin Shuyan hit his right hand hard with the back of the knife.

"Ah!" Li Er screamed, his right hand hanging limply by his side.

The refugees were so frightened that their hands and feet went limp. They no longer had the courage they had just now and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I'll let you go this time today, but if I see you stealing other people's things again next time, I will never forgive you. Get out of here now!" Lin An scolded.

The refugees all breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their bags, and fled with shaking legs, completely forgetting about Li Er who was rolling on the ground in pain.

"Dad, how's it going? Is everything ok? Where's Xiaoya?"

The others also gathered around, curious about what had happened ahead.

"Xiao Ya is behind us. There is a group of thieves robbing a group of refugees in front of us.

We have killed the bandits, but the refugees suffered numerous casualties..."

Lin An felt a little heavy.

Before everyone could sigh, Lin Shuyan interrupted and said, "Mom, we just met Uncle Xiangzi's family and a dozen villagers. They want us to take them with us."

Li's face changed and she stared at Lin An: "You didn't agree?"

Lin An shook his head. There was already a gap between them, and he didn't want to work himself to death and then be blamed.

Anyway, my family doesn't owe them anything.

"They are so shameless." Zhao Xiuyin said angrily.

"Mom and Dad!" Lin Shuyue returned on horseback, and the others skipped the topic.

After having a casual lunch, Lin Shuyue called everyone together, took out the map, and discussed their next steps.

Lin An frowned, feeling a little entangled: "If we go to the capital, then Anyang Prefecture is the shortest way.

But Anyang Prefecture has also suffered a disaster, and Li Tonghui is arresting people, so it is too dangerous. "

"How about we go around Yuping Prefecture? Yuping Prefecture has not suffered any disaster, so it will be convenient to replenish water and food at that time." Lin Shuyuan suggested.

"But if the person from Yu Ping Mansion..." Li hesitated.

Zhao Xiuyin's family and Erlangzi and his friends were a little confused and didn't understand what they meant.

Li whispered to them that the eldest prince was planning a rebellion and had ordered the Anqing prefect to arrest people and seize food.

And the matter of the third prince's uncle sending people to Anyang Prefecture to arrest someone.

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Xiuyin gnashed her teeth.

"This group of people really don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously. It's hard enough for everyone to escape the famine, and this group of people is still bullying us poor people."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, Lin Shuyue hurriedly changed the subject: "Let's not go to the capital, let's go to Yu Ping Mansion, and then go here!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a place on the map. Everyone leaned over to take a look and saw that the place she pointed to was written with "Wuzhou".

“Too many people are going to the capital, and now is a period of change in the imperial power, so there are too many unknowns when going to the capital.

Wuzhou is located in the south, separated from the capital by Jin'an Prefecture and next to Liancheng. The two cities are connected by waterways, making it a great place to live.

We just have to be careful when we pass Yu Ping's house." Lin Shuyue told everyone her thoughts in detail.

Everyone thought for a moment and agreed to Lin Shuyue's proposal.

If they wanted to go to Wuzhou, they needed to turn right at the fork leading to Anyang Prefecture, go around to Yuping Prefecture, pass through Liancheng, and finally reach Wuzhou.

After deciding on the route, the group set off again.

With a destination in mind, everyone was excited and looked forward to arriving soon so they could settle down.

Five days later in the evening, the group stopped under a big tree at a fork in the road.

Lin Shuyue sat outside the carriage and looked at the refugees on the roadside.

They all looked pale, leaning weakly under a tree by the roadside.

Only a few refugees were nibbling on small pieces of bread.

There were six carriages parked under the big tree opposite them.

The doors of the carriage were tightly closed and the curtains on the windows were drawn tightly.

Seven or eight strong men on horseback, holding swords, were standing guard around the carriage.

Next to the carriage, three women in clean and tidy embroidered jackets were cooking.

The rich aroma of meat attracted the attention of refugees on the roadside.

In the carriage, a lady with a round face, wearing a coral red silk skirt and a brocade fur cloak, flashed a trace of disgust when she heard the voices of the refugees outside.

She looked down at her daughter who was about thirteen or fourteen years old next to her, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"Little girl, come and eat."

Lin Shuyue stopped looking and turned to walk to Li.

In order not to attract attention, they now eat porridge made from coarse grains, served with hot steamed buns.

Although there was no fragrance, several refugees still stared at the steamed buns and porridge in their hands.

Lin An warned everyone not to be soft-hearted at this time, otherwise they would get into big trouble.

After the group had dinner, Lin Gang and his companions followed Lin An to practice martial arts as usual.

Lin Shuyue leaned against the carriage and checked the space with her mind.

Xiao Huihui and Weifeng were still asleep, and Olaf was lying on his back in the pond like a scoundrel, slapping the water with his short legs from time to time.

As the night deepened, it was not yet midnight, but everyone had already fallen asleep and everything was quiet.

The black horse tied under the tree suddenly pricked up its ears, then its body trembled a little, and it pawed the ground with its front hooves anxiously.

Soon, the other four horses, the mule and Lin Gang's cow also became restless.

Seeing that no one responded, the black horse let out a long neigh.

Lin Shuyan and Lin Lei, who were on guard, heard the noise but did not take it seriously and continued to pretend to sleep with their eyes closed.

In the carriage, Lin Shuyue was awakened by the noise of the black horse and got off the car to check with some confusion.

In the darkness of the night, she actually saw fear in the black horse's eyes.

Then he inspected the remaining four horses, mules, and cows one by one.

I was shocked to find that they all seemed extremely anxious and panicked.

She recalled the news reports about earthquakes she had seen in her previous life.

When an earthquake is approaching, animals will show unusual fear reactions.

Lin Shuyue's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly told Lin Shuyan and Lin Lei her guess.
