Yun the butcher quickly squeezed into the middle of the line, and then saw three refugees trying to grab the water jar from Grandma Zhang's house. Yun the butcher rushed over, grabbed one with each hand, and threw it out. Grandma Zhang's two sons next to him also grabbed the last refugee who was trying to grab water. Seeing the broken jar, Grandma Zhang sat on the ground, slapped her hands on the ground, and howled.

"Damn it, I don't have much water at home," and they are trying to steal my water. How are we, the old and the young, going to survive?" Upon hearing this, the grandson and granddaughter of Grandma Zhang burst into tears.

At this time, the village chief also squeezed in. As soon as he saw the situation, he understood. "Stop shouting, Mrs. Zhang." The village chief shouted. "Village chief, you can't let them off easily. They spilled all the water in my house. I have no water at home. How can I live!" Mrs. Zhang stood up and said viciously. "Then how do you plan to deal with them?" asked the village chief.

"I, I," Granny Zhang hesitated, not knowing what to say. We were all farmers, and had never seen much of the world, fighting and killing, and we had no idea what to do at this time.

"Village chief, why don't we break their arms and legs and throw them to the side of the road. We must kill the chicken to scare the monkey at this time." Yun the butcher suggested.

"Everyone, look at this solution. Can you accept it?"

"Yes, yes." Everyone agreed.

"Then let's do it this way." The village chief said. When the three refugees who were trying to grab water heard this, they all cried out loudly. "Please spare us, we are just too thirsty, so we are trying to grab water. We won't do this again in the future, please spare us." "If I spare you, can you compensate me for the water?" Granny Zhang shouted angrily.

So, six villagers came out of the team, took the three refugees to the side of the official road, and broke their arms and legs with hoes. Suddenly, the refugees whose arms and legs were broken cried loudly. Seeing that the people of Yunjia Village dealt with the people who stole water so quickly, the surrounding refugees retreated.

In fact, in such a situation, it is not easy to imagine their fate. In the absence of water and food, no one wants to bring a burden with them. Many people just take a look and continue to move forward numbly. In this world, it is not easy for anyone to live.

"Grandma Zhang, pack up and keep going. Hurry up. There are more and more people gathering here. It's too unsafe. When you get to the next place, the village will give your family some water," the village chief whispered to Grandma Zhang.

When Granny Zhang heard this, she quickly packed up. Granny Zhang was a picky person in the village. She had no major problems, but she was a bit of a nag. Because of this, she often fought with other women in the village. If she were to borrow water by herself, she would be able to borrow it, but she would definitely suffer. But now that the village chief has spoken, there is no need to worry about this problem.

On Yun Yiyi's side, everyone was waiting by the car. Suddenly, an old woman came over with a thin child. "Kind people, can you give us some water? My family fled the famine, and only the two of us are left. We really can't live happily anymore." She was about to kneel down to Zhang. Just as Zhang was about to help the old woman, Yun Yiyi stepped forward quickly, pulled the old woman's clothes, and stopped her from kneeling, and mouthed to her, "Let's wait until the next break."

Then he said loudly: "Old lady, we have no food now. We eat grass roots and wild vegetable porridge every day. Please ask others." The old lady was old and might not see clearly, so she continued to kneel down. The child holding the old lady's clothes pulled her clothes, made her lower her head, and said something. The old lady stood up and said, "Okay, I'll ask other kind people." Then she took the child and retreated behind Yun Yiyi's family.

Before Zhang could react, the matter was over. Because Yun Yiyi had her back to everyone, no one except the grandparents could see the shape of her mouth.

"Mom, we have no food left, we really can't help them." Yun Erge pulled Zhang back. Zhang turned around. "Mom, there are too many people now, we can't show off our wealth." Yun Dage also said. "Yes, Mom, there are too many people. There are people ahead who are trying to steal water from the villagers." Yun Sange also whispered. Zhang thought about it, yes, now is not the usual time to help in the village, but now is a time to escape famine, we can't be blindly kind.

"Okay, mom got it. You are more thoughtful than mom thought." The three brothers of the Yun family laughed happily after hearing what Zhang said.

"Mom, even if you give the things to the grandparents, they can't keep them." Yun Yiyi whispered to Zhang. Zhang touched Yun Yiyi's head and said, "Our little Yiyi is really a smart child. She even thought of this."

"That's right, I have always been a smart child." Yun Yiyi said proudly, pinching her waist.

"Yiyi, you are too immodest." Brother Yun San pointed at Yun Yiyi and laughed at her.

"What are you guys talking about?" Butcher Yun came over and asked.

"I was saying that the kids are smart. Have you solved the problem above? Is no one injured?"

"It's all resolved, no one was hurt. Three refugees tried to steal water from Grandma Zhang's house, were caught, and had their arms and legs broken. However, Grandma Zhang's water can was broken during the fight. Her family is now out of water. I guess we'll need everyone to share some water with them during the next break. Everyone in the village is a relative in some way, and we can't just watch them lack water."

"Okay, we still have a lot of water jugs at home, I'll send some over when the time comes."

As Zhang spoke, she urged everyone to keep going forward and not to fall behind. If they were left alone, the refugees around them would surely rush over, and then everyone would be in danger.

Yun Yiyi had slept for the whole afternoon, and now she was full of energy. She did not take the donkey cart, but chose to walk with Zhang. Yun Yiyi looked back and followed the grandparents and grandchildren closely. The old woman must have been hungry for a long time, and she was staggering when she walked, relying on the child beside her to support her to move forward.

Yun Yiyi looked at the child. She was tall, with long hair and a sallow face. It was hard to tell what she looked like. Her hands were also dark and thin. However, her eyes looked bright and moving, making people happy. And when she walked, her back was very straight. Even though she was so close, she could only hear the heavy footsteps of the old woman.

Yun Yiyi deliberately lagged behind her by two steps, and as she passed by her, she quietly put two fist-sized potatoes she took out from the space into the child's hands. The child took them quickly and smiled at Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi took a look and walked quickly to the front. This must be a child with a story. He looks about the same age as me, so I should help him if I can. In her previous life, Yun Yiyi was an orphan and suffered a lot, but she also met many people who gave her warmth. However, in this life, she has a family, so even if she wants to help others, she must do it within her ability and not bring danger to her family.

The further the team went, the more refugees they found, and there were groups of refugees resting in the open space beside the official road.

I wonder if I can find water next time I take a break? If I can't find it again, I must find a way to secretly fill the water jar at home, Yun Yiyi thought secretly.
