Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

After figuring this out, the villagers became more motivated again.

The next morning, all the villagers got up early and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Zeng Zhengen filled a water bag for each of the three kids, and also boiled an egg for each of them to take away.

When Zeng Zhengen brought his three children and followed the villagers to the foot of the mountain, the sun had gradually risen from the horizon. The golden sunlight shone on the earth, as if covering the ground with a layer of golden carpet.

Zeng Zhengen and a group of villagers first cleared out all the weeds growing on the ground, and then cultivated the land with hoes.

The three boys followed Zeng Zhengen and moved all the weeds they had cleared aside. Occasionally, when they saw stones on the ground, they would throw them away.

Time passes by bit by bit. Although it is autumn now, the power of the autumn tiger cannot be underestimated.

After a while, the children's faces were sunburned red, and Zeng Zhengen's palms were rubbed with blisters.

"Mom, drink water."

Zhang Jiajun saw beads of sweat on his mother's forehead, so he untied the water bag and handed it to her.

Zeng Zhengen looked up at the little guy's rosy face and said with a smile.

"No, Mom isn't thirsty yet, drink it yourself!"

However, Zhang Jiajun insisted on giving it to Zeng Zhengen.

In the end, Zeng Zhengen had no choice but to take the water bag and took a sip.

"Okay, Mom has already drunk it."

After Zhang Jiajun saw Zeng Zhengen finish drinking the water, he took the water bag and started drinking.

After drinking the water, a few boys picked up their hoes and followed Zeng Zhengen to help open up the wasteland.

While Zeng Zhengen and his team were busy reclaiming the land, the scene in Qingzhou City was quite different.

Qingzhou City was in great chaos at this time. Ever since the refugees rioted at the city gate, a large number of refugees poured into Qingzhou City.

The villagers of Zhangguanbao also happened to follow the refugees into the city.

At this time, only half of the villagers in Zhangguanbao were left, and the rest had died on the way to escape famine.

Yang Xiaoyu's family, who had been to Zhangguanbao before, were now at the very end of the team.

Zhangguanbao had changed its village chief while fleeing from famine, so Yang Xiaoyu was no longer the village chief of Zhangguanbao.

"Dad, do we still want to continue following them?" Zhang Daqiang asked his father.

Although they followed the people from Zhangguanbao along the way, these people did not treat them as fellow villagers at all.

Previously, his father broke his leg while saving a child from the same village, but these villagers were not only ungrateful, but even wanted to kick his family out of the team.

If the three brothers hadn't taken turns carrying their father on their backs, they would have been left out of the team.

Yang Xiaoyu was also disappointed with these villagers. After experiencing the journey of fleeing famine, he finally understood why Zeng Zhengen insisted on separating from them.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at the increasing number of refugees around him, and finally spoke to his eldest son.

"No, let's continue to go south and no longer follow them in Qingzhou City." Yang Xiaoyu said.

After all, Yang Xiaoyu had been the village chief, so naturally he had a longer-term vision than other people in Zhangguanbao.

The government of Qingzhou City will certainly not just watch the refugees continue to riot like this. If the government transfers troops from other places, these refugees will definitely not have a good ending.

Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated, the wisest thing to do is to stay away from Qingzhou City.

Zhang Daqiang naturally wanted to stay away from the villagers of Zhangguanbao, so after hearing what Yang Xiaoyu said, he immediately went to pack up his things.

Zhang Erqiang and Zhang Sanqiang also helped to pack up.

Yang Xiaoyu's wife was somewhat worried when she heard her old man say that he wanted to leave the villagers.

"Boss, do we really have to separate from the villagers?" Wang Qiuzhu asked worriedly.

In Wang Qiuzhu's opinion, no matter how bad the villagers are, it is still safer to travel with them.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Well, even if we continue to stay with these villagers, it may not be much better. You know what our family's situation is along the way."

In the end, Wang Qiuzhu said nothing more and let her sons and daughters-in-law pack up.

After a while, the three brothers packed up everything.

"Dad, everything is packed. Are we leaving now?" Zhang Daqiang asked Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu glanced at the other villagers and spoke after a while.

"Let's go!"

After saying this, Yang Xiaoyu got up and left without looking back.

They might not be able to see these villagers again in their lifetime after leaving. Although these people's behavior is very chilling, after all, they are villagers where they have lived for most of their lives, and Yang Xiaoyu still feels a little reluctant to let them go.

Just when Yang Xiaoyu was leaving with his family, villagers from Zhangguanbao not far away discovered them.

"Village Chief, look, Yang Xiaoyu and the others have actually left."

A villager from Zhangguanbao said to the current village head.

The current head of Zhangguanbao is named Zhang Tiegan, who is about the same age as Yang Xiaoyu. He and Yang Xiaoyu ran for village chief together.

However, because Yang Xiaoyu was recommended by the former village chief, the position of Zhangguanbao village chief was taken away by Yang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Tiegan also had a conflict with Yang Xiaoyu because of this matter. The people who had followed and made trouble on the road before were instigated by him, in order to pull Yang Xiaoyu down from the position of village chief.

Later, he was indeed successful and successfully became the village chief of Zhangguanbao.

Afterwards, he intentionally or unintentionally made the villagers alienate and exclude Yang Xiaoyu's family. Now seeing that Yang Xiaoyu's family actually took the initiative to leave the team, Zhang Tiegan was still very happy in his heart.

The annoying person finally left, and from then on he was the one who had the final say in Zhangguanbao.

However, although Zhang Tiegan thought so in his heart, he still looked reluctant on the surface.

"Oh! What a joke Yang Xuyu is. No one did anything to his family, but why did he just leave the team and go on the road alone?" Zhang Tiegan calmly applied eye drops to the people next to him.

When the people around heard what he said, their expressions turned unhappy.

"Forget it, if they want to leave, then let them go! Do you really think he is still the village chief of our Zhangguanbao?"

"That's right! Since their family wants to die, let them go."

The villagers of Zhangguanbao followed suit, and Zhang Tiegan, who was standing by, became even more satisfied when he saw this scene.
