"Daniu, you will be the head of our family from now on."

"I really can't walk any more. Daniu and Erniu, you two should hurry up and catch up with the government team. Don't delay the trip!"

Naturally, the two sons refused to leave.

We are still in the disaster-stricken area and no one knows what the situation will be like when the flood comes.

A flood that has attracted so much attention from the imperial court must have very strong water. His father can no longer walk. If he falls down after they leave, he might be washed away or drowned by the flood.

If they were to leave, the family would most likely be separated forever.

Mr. Lu San knew this truth very well.

But if we indulge him at his speed, the whole family might die in this flood.

He forced himself to hold back his tears and shouted:

"Let's go! Take Xiao Hu with you! Find a place to get him treated! Anyone who doesn't leave and leaves the whole family here is unfilial!"

Lu Daniu and Lu Erniu looked at their father deeply, with red eyes, threw a bag of dry food to their father, put the children on the wheelbarrow that was already full of things, pushed it with difficulty, and turned and left.

There are many elderly, weak, women and children like Lu Sanweng who have been left behind voluntarily or involuntarily.

No one wanted to die, and everyone was trying their best to move towards Nandu.

It rained heavily every day. The rain on the road blurred their vision, wet their clothes, and made walking more difficult.

We also remind them at all times that floods are by no means an exaggeration.

Even though they had used all their strength, the distance they could walk every day was reduced from more than 40 miles to more than 20 miles.

Some of the weak even fell on the road.

The day of the flood announced by the government is getting closer and closer. Many people are exhausted and many have fallen ill.

But the southern capital is still more than a hundred miles away.

A look at the boundary markers showed that they were even within the boundaries of other migrating counties.

In other words, once a flood comes, they may be drowned directly!

Despair permeated the entire team of the old, weak and sick.

Just when everyone was completely exhausted and ready to sit down and wait for death, they suddenly heard the sound of many horse hooves coming from the front.

Everyone hurried to the sides of the official road.

Although the common people could also use the official roads, they did not pay taxes after all, but these carriages and horses had paid taxes.

They must get out of the way.

If you fail to give way to the military or official vehicles, you will be responsible for the casualties, and you may even be beaten or imprisoned.

Ahead was a line of horse-drawn carriages that seemed to have no end.

With Lu Sanweng's limited counting ability, he couldn't even count how many cars there were.

The carriages were getting closer and closer, but they were moving slower and slower. When they reached the middle of the elderly, the weak, women and children who were fleeing the disaster, they stopped completely.

A very young man in his early twenties, as thin as a bamboo pole, dressed in fine clothes, stepped out from the front carriage. He stood on the shaft and shouted:

"Dear fellow countrymen, I am Zheng Yuannai, the son of Yangzhou General Zheng Baizhan. I have specially led a team of carriages and horses organized by Yangzhou merchants to come from the southern capital to pick you up! Next, everyone, listen to my instructions and get on the carriages in an orderly manner!"

The elderly, the weak, women and children, filled with despair, all raised their heads in disbelief.

Looking at those carriages that were neatly sealed with oilcloth, such nice carriages were actually here to pick them up!

With the carriage, they left the danger zone in time and avoided death!

"Really? Are you here to pick us up and take us to Nandu?"

The skinny young master of the official family smiled and said:

"Is this true? I've already received quite a few calls, and you're the last one!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

In the eyes of everyone, the skinny young master suddenly became as glorious as a god descending from heaven.

I just felt that although he was thin, he looked very energetic and his facial features were quite heroic.

Then, under the arrangement of Young Master Zheng, the sick people were separated from the normal people and got on the carriage.
