Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Upon hearing this, the village chief frowned and his face was full of worry.

He slowly walked to a large rock and looked at the dusty path in the distance of the valley, feeling mixed emotions.

"Yes! Village chief, Xizhou Prefecture is in chaos. It is said that the northwest is in chaos, causing all the refugees to flee to Xizhou Prefecture. The governor of Xizhou Prefecture can't control these people.

The court also ordered all refugees to join the army, forcibly conscripting all healthy men between the ages of 14 and 45, all of them had to go, unlike the previous ratio of one in three men to serve in the military! "

Another man said: "There are people who are willing to go if they have more male children in their families. After all, they will have military pay and will not starve to death. But those who have only one or two male children in their families are unwilling to go.

As a result, more people fled from places where the drought was not so severe. Some people planned to bypass the Great Ring Mountain, while others climbed up along our path!"

"The wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains are barely enough to survive. It's much better than the villages in the northwest border. The bark and leaves of the trees there have been eaten up!"

The village chief sighed, his voice heavy and helpless, "Alas, we finally got to the destination, and just when we thought that everyone had a little hope for the future, we didn't expect the world to be in chaos again. I don't know if there will be conscription after we arrive in Zhongzhou."

"Village chief, what should we do? If Zhongzhou continues to recruit soldiers, my son is only fourteen years old and is in the period of growth. Besides, he is the only child in our family. How can we let him go to the battlefield?"

A middle-aged woman couldn't help sobbing, and the villagers around her also looked at her with sympathy.

"We are not sure about the situation in Zhongzhou. Seeing that they have all fled to Zhongzhou, I think the situation should not be so serious. If it really doesn't work, we can go to the mountains to make a living. Anyway, we have experience, right?"

The village chief comforted the villagers and thought that living in the mountains was indeed a good idea.

"Yeah, that's also a way out..." Some villagers actually agreed. It seemed that they didn't have such strict requirements on where to live.

There is only one minimum requirement, and that is to survive.

"Village chief, I've discovered another problem. Two of the men look very sturdy and don't look like refugees at all. I secretly asked the others among them and they all said they were new members of their group. They look like they came from wealthy families. Maybe they are high-ranking officials or nobles."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about that nonsense, eat something quickly, and get out of here!"

Village Chief Hu was thinking seriously, the situation was getting worse and worse.

Father Liu: "Village Chief Hu, we have to get down the mountain before that group of people. We can't delay any longer. I think this side is not very steep. We should be able to make a way down the mountain! Let's go straight from this side!"

"Okay, we'll go down the mountain from this side in a bit! We won't go to the rocky hills, since the terrain here is similar to that over there. There are a lot of people over there who are talkative and must be a mess, so it's better not to go over there and deal with them."

"Okay, I'll follow the village chief's arrangements!"

After hearing the news they had inquired about, the villagers' faces became much more solemn. They ate the wild vegetable porridge in their bowls quickly and silently, and then hurried on their way after finishing their meal.

Get down the mountain as soon as possible and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

The Liu family members gathered together with an embarrassed look on their faces. In this dynasty, besides natural disasters, there were also man-made disasters, the most serious of which was the war. Sometimes the death toll in a war was more than that in a natural disaster. They exchanged a silent look with Lin Weizhong, quickly finished their bowl of porridge, and quickly packed up their things!

The people in Hujia Village packed up their things and lined up to make their way down the mountain.

Village chief Hu asked the villagers to clear the road diagonally. The forest on this side was more lush, and going down the mountain was more dangerous than going up. It was easy to fall down the slope if you were not careful. For safety, they had to take a detour.

Safety first!

The person walking in front was chopping weeds, dead branches and rotten leaves in the forest, and using a thick stick to feel out whether the land in front was solid and to see if there were any potholes to avoid stepping in and getting injured.

As the sun gradually climbed to the zenith, the interweaving of light and shadow between the mountains and forests added a bit of mystery and hardship to the journey down the mountain.

Sweat slid down the villagers' cheeks, dripped onto the firmly trampled soil, and was instantly absorbed, as if the earth was silently witnessing their tenacity and unity.

Village chief Hu looked back from time to time to check on the team, making sure everyone was following closely and not falling behind.

He knew very well that in this unknown and dangerous mountain forest, any negligence of one person could lead to unpredictable consequences.

He constantly reminded everyone to stay vigilant and look out for each other.

It’s easier to go up the mountain than to go down!

Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness and the faint sound of birds singing from the distant mountains and forests.

The natural sounds are like the music of nature, making everyone slow down their pace involuntarily and enjoy this rare tranquility and harmony.

Village Chief Hu took the opportunity to remind everyone to take a break.

During the break, several young people gathered together and used the knives they carried with them to carve a few simple walking sticks, which they distributed to the elderly and children with weaker physical strength in the team.

The mountains in the east were shining brightly in the sunlight, and the people of Hujia Village were moving around in the mountains like ants moving their homes.

Occasionally they could hear the chirping of insects and birds, accompanied by the calls of pheasants, but they had no intention of looking for pheasants at the moment.

Village chief Hu told them that they were not allowed to leave the team without permission to look for prey when they were on the road, otherwise the speed of the entire village's progress would be affected.

The road through the mountains and forests was rugged and uneven, so they walked diagonally left and right. If you looked from the sky from afar, you could see that their route formed a zigzag shape on the mountain road.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

These are the experiences accumulated from life.

After having a meal at about ten o'clock in the morning, we have been on the road ever since. We would rest for a while and then continue on our way, and then rest for a while and then continue on our way again.

Finally, when the sun was setting, they came to a relatively flat place with some large and small stones around, and weeds and moss entangled on the stones.

After looking at the situation here, the village chief decided that it was suitable to take a rest. After clearing the weeds on the stones, it would be better than resting on the muddy ground.

Seeing that everyone was tired and it was getting late, Village Chief Hu asked everyone to set up tents here and spend the night.
