"I hate the government. Not only did they fail to properly arrange for the refugees, they even killed so many refugees for their own selfish reasons. In the eyes of officers and soldiers, human life is like a child's play." Old Man Wu roared in pain.

"Uncle Wu, it has always been the case that when the people at the top do nothing, the people below will follow their example," said Li Xiucai.

"That's why we have to leave this place and find a place that can properly accommodate us." The village chief also said.

"Grandpa Wu, is there any place your family wants to go now?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.

"We were forced to take the food and water and leave, and we didn't know where to go. However, the officers and soldiers forced us onto this official road." Old Man Wu sighed helplessly.

"I asked some refugees on the way, and they said we will soon arrive at a county town, and we should see if we can find a way to stay there."

"If there is no way to stay, we can just replenish our supplies and keep moving forward. Alas, I don't know when this kind of life will end."

"Now everyone has the same idea, let's take it one step at a time." Yun the Butcher echoed.

Next to him, Hunter Zhang secretly pulled the village chief's clothes. The village chief glanced at Hunter Zhang, and the two of them quietly came behind the crowd.

"Village chief, do you think it is possible to let Uncle Wu and the others follow our team for a few days?" Hunter Zhang asked in a low voice.

"Why is that? I saw that they had someone traveling together." The village chief replied in surprise.

"Village Chief, Uncle Wu and his family are a family that came here to escape famine. I guess the people who were traveling with them were also just temporary friends."

"Village chief, let me tell you, Uncle Wu and his family are all hunters. I've observed before that they should not be short of food. They fled because of the lack of water."

"I am the only hunter in our village, and my children are still young. Uncle Wu and his two sons are all experienced hunters, which will be of great use to us when we escape from famine in the future."

"Let me think about it. Besides, Old Man Wu didn't mention it himself."

"Village chief, Uncle Wu will not suffer any loss no matter who he goes with. However, if our village adds their family, our fighting power will be enhanced." Hunter Zhang tried hard to persuade the village chief.

"It's been years since anyone from outside joined our village. Don't you know that? You're just looking for trouble."

"Village chief, why don't we let them go with us for a few days? You can discuss this with the elders. During these few days, we can also test the character of Uncle Wu and his men."

"Don't say that, your suggestion is good. Okay, let's do it. I will invite Old Man Wu and his family to go with us in a while."

"Village Chief, I still have to say that you are the one who cares most about our village."

After hearing what Hunter Zhang said, the village chief smiled awkwardly, but the corners of his mouth never turned down.

The village chief and hunter Zhang returned to Old Man Wu.

"Old Man Wu, you should know that we are all from the entire Yunjia Village, and we came out together to escape famine." The village chief looked at Old Man Wu and said.

"I know, old man. Xiao Zhang told me about this at that time." Old man Wu replied.

"Then why don't you and your family consider traveling with us in the next few days?"

"This, this is a bit sudden. Why did you suddenly invite my family to join you?" Old Man Wu asked puzzled.

"Most people in our village have the surname Yun, so we call it Yunjia Village. You should also know that there is a difference between a family fleeing famine and a village fleeing famine."

"Also, you told us so much information at the gate of the city before. And you also cleared up our confusion today. We, the people of Yunjia Village, are grateful to you."

"So, I also want to give both of us a chance to get to know each other. Old Man Wu, you can discuss it with your family." The village chief said in a low voice.

"Okay, then please wait for me. I will go discuss it with my family now." After saying this, Old Man Wu walked towards the old woman.

Old Man Wu discussed with the old woman for a while and then came back.

"Village Chief, I have discussed with my family, let's just follow the people from Yunjia Village first."

"Okay, then Yunjia Village also welcomes your family to join us. When we were on the road before, we always lined up. Do you have any requirements for where you line up in the line?" The village chief thought for a while and asked.

"Where does Xiao Zhang's family belong to?" asked Old Man Wu.

"Uncle Wu, my family is at the front of the line." Hunter Zhang answered first.

"If we line up at the front, our family will come later and it will be embarrassing to cut in line," said Old Man Wu in embarrassment.

"Grandpa Wu, my family is at the end of the line. How about you line up in front of me?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"This is my little girl, Yun Yiyi. I was a butcher before I fled the famine. Why don't you just listen to Yiyi and line up in front of my family?" Yun the butcher explained hurriedly.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Yiyi. My family should be ranked before Yiyi's family."

"Yiyi, I'm sorry to trouble your family in the future." Old man Wu said as he touched Yun Yiyi's head.

"Our two families live close to each other. If you have any questions, just come to me." Yun the butcher said readily.

"Uncle Village Chief, since that's the case, let's take a rest before we continue our journey. Let Grandpa Wu and the others take a rest as well." Yun Yiyi said.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell everyone, we'll rest for another hour." After saying this, the village chief hurried into the woods.

"Uncle Wu, you can come to me if you have any questions." Hunter Zhang stepped forward and said.

"Okay, today it's all thanks to you. But there's a long way to go, let's take it slow." Old Man Wu patted Hunter Zhang on the shoulder.

Then, Yun Yiyi took Old Man Wu and his family to see where the Yuns camped. Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu introduced their respective families. Old Man Wu had three sons. The eldest was 26 years old this year. He married Wang and had two sons and a daughter. The second was 24 years old. He married Li and had a son and a daughter. The one who died at the city gate was Old Man Wu.

Old Man Wu took Old Man Da and Old Man Er and drove their horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts into the woods. Zhang and a few children helped Old Man Wu and his family clean up a place to cook and rest.

When Old Man Wu and the others started cooking, Zhang and Butcher Yun took the children back and prepared to go to bed.

Before, we didn't know what was going to happen, and we were so nervous and scared that we couldn't sleep. Now, everyone knew the cause of the incident, and they gradually relaxed. After lying on the mat for a while, everyone fell asleep one after another.

After the village chief informed the villagers and asked everyone to rest for an hour as planned, he hurried to discuss the affairs of Old Man Wu's family with several elders.
