ild They are all ruthless, even daring to lay their hands on women.""Yeah, that man is really strong, he just lifted the person up!""Wu Ergou is having bad luck."But that kid was really a money magnet...The village head and several old men regained their composure, several of them fiercely shaking the sickles in their hands.

"What are the border troops eating! They can't even hold the frontier! Back in my day, when I lost a hand, I still bit a barbarian to death!"

"So, they're actually moving the capital Running south with barbarians biting at their tails"

The village head sighed and waved his hands impatiently, "Alright, things aren't like they used to be. We should get ready to move south as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, it will be too late!"

"Get your rations, hurry and bring the food! You'll need to eat wherever you go!"

"That's right, we still don't know what it looks like on the road!"

Everyone was worried again, but there was nothing they could do. They could only go with the flow.

Immediately, the village head rang the rusty copper bell at the entrance of the village, and everyone in the village came out to inquire.

Hearing that all the villages were coming to seize food, everyone panicked. As soon as the village head spoke, they hurried back home to get their sickles and poles.

No one wants their family to go hungry during the winter, food is life at this time.

To hoard grain is to steal lives!

Every household, men, women and children, all went out to the fields. They were even more enthusiastic than when working on their own land.

Even at night, they would glean the sorghum stalks in the dark. After another day, all the sorghum and grain had been harvested.

Spread out in the threshing floor, under the roller, with a gentle breeze blowing, plump grains of food fell down…

Li Laodi took the list and went door to door distributing the borrowed grain.

Of course, the Li family had the most left over, which also worried the second son of the Li family.

You can't possibly bring that much food on a journey like this!

As the sky darkened, he was about to head home to ask his mother.

As a result, Li Laotai brought Jia Yin over to deliver the meal.

The two sat together, worrying. Jia Yin immediately began to comfort them.

She fidgeted with her lower leg and ran around the entire field.

All the food was gone, only eight bags remained. The rest had been taken by her.

Li Lao Er finished his meal, stood up and was stunned. In the end, he became anxious and paced around nervously.

What thief stole the food right under our noses

Li Laotai was also taken aback, and then she remembered something and stopped her son, instructing him.

"Don't worry, don't panic, the food won't go missing. If anyone asks, just say we sold it overnight!"

Li Lao Er had a stomach full of questions, but he didn't say anything more.

When that happens, it's really a theft. What else can you do Catching the thief isn't as important as escaping for your life.

Early the next day, Li Lao'er and Li Laosi went into the city again.

The shopping list included the most basic oil, salt and daily necessities, as well as a prescription from an eminent physician. It had some medicine for wind-cold, dysentery or fever.

The most important thing is to find out what's going on in the city. If it's not good, we have to leave as soon as possible.

The village head intercepted the mule cart at the village entrance and went into town with it.

He didn't buy as much from Li's household as others, he only bought twenty kilograms of salt in one go.

Seeing this, Li Laer also bought twenty kilograms.

When entering the city, everything was fine, but when leaving, the city gate suddenly became blocked.

Countless carriages lined up, each loaded with many goods.

Some even had their wives and children with them, and from time to time one could hear the cries of children.

Li Lao'er and the others all felt that something was wrong, so they quickly went around to the north gate to leave the city and then ran home as fast as they could.

There's no need to keep it a secret anymore. Word has spread throughout the city, and wealthy families have already started fleeing.

Almost as soon as they entered the village, the village head frantically started banging on the old copper bell.

The villagers were all puzzled. After all, the grain had already been harvested and they had all stored it back in their granaries.

Could anyone possibly still try to break into their homes

As a result, the village chief blurted out a sentence that stunned everyone present.

"The barbarians have overrun the border, and even the Emperor is fleeing south. Pack your things and escape quickly, or it will be too late!"

Then, the village head ran home.

The elderly wife at home has already packed everything and put it on the small cart, ready to set off at any time.

The Li family also wrapped the prepared baskets and sacks of grain with large pieces of oilcloth.

The rest of the miscellaneous things, most of them were put on the tricycle, pushed by Lao Si and Jia Yi.

Half the things were loaded into the basket, carried by Li Lao Er and Li Lao San.

Li Laotai carried Jia Yin, Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying pulled at the home-happy-home-safe.

Jiahuan and Jiarren raced to the hospital, bringing a renowned physician with them.

But after waiting for a long time, the several old men next door hadn't come over yet.

Mrs. Li got flustered and shouted to her son, “Go and have a look at your Uncle Zhao and the others, urge them on. I'll go take another look around and see if I've dropped anything.”

Li La Er and several others responded and went. Li Lao Tai carried Jia Yin and walked from house to house.

Whenever a convenient opportunity arises, when Grandma can't see, she should fill all the things within her reach: tables, chairs, cupboards, kang beds, and even copper basin stands. She should decorate them with whatever is available.

Throw everything into the space and pile it up.

With a fortune amassed, they arrive in a new place, but who knows what awaits them there.

Bring an extra one, so you'll buy one less later!

As soon as the grandfather and grandson stepped out of the house, they heard Li La Er shouting from next door.

They soon came carrying three elderly men, followed by another three, their eyes also red with tears.

"Grandma, Grandpa Zhao said they lost their hands, and one leg is lame. They can't walk long distances and don't want to burden our family."

Let's take a stroll, and leave them to keep watch.

Jiā yì xīn cháng ruǎn, shuō de shì yòu qì yòu jí, yǎnjīng dōu hóng le. **Translation:**Jia's heart was soft with distress. He spoke angrily and impatiently, his eyes were red with tears.

"How can that be!" Old Li also widened her eyes, "We share meals and enjoy happiness together, how can you abandon us in times of trouble"

"Get in the car, we're leaving now!"

At his grandmother's words, Jiàyì responded loudly and shoved the elderly men into the car. Fearing they would run around, he even tied them up with ropes, binding their hands and feet.

The village head rushed over in a donkey cart. Seeing this, his eyes were also filled with warmth.

The Li family are truly loyal and righteous. Bringing along several elderly people who are half-disabled on the road is not as simple as giving them a few mouths to feed, these six are just burdens...

He came over originally just to pull his old brothers together.

It's too late, the Li family has already taken them away!

He was filled with gratitude and opened his mouth to speak.

At this moment, a throng of people from the village, young and old alike, surged out the door.

Unbeknownst to whom it started, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, tears filling the air.

"Village Chief, Auntie, wowowowo, take us to run with you!"

"Village Chief, Auntie, save us! We don't even know where to run!"

The village head was having a headache. It wasn't that he didn't care or was unwilling to lead the villagers.

It's really hard to escape the war, and I can barely even take care of my own family.

With over a hundred people from the whole village, it's simply impossible.

The Li family was even more troubled, with the elderly and children totaling six, already a heavy burden on their shoulders.

At this time, what's being contested is the initiative. Whoever gets there first has a higher chance of survival.

But there were no carriages in the village, and taking them along would slow down their journey... A woman, perhaps seeing the hesitation of the Li family, directly pushed her children out.

"Aunt, please bring my dog Dan and big girl (probably a cat) along. Just give them a bite to eat on the way."

"From now on, I'll be your workhorse, just please take them with me and save their lives!"

The child didn't want to leave their mother, clinging tightly to her neck and crying hysterically.

"Mother, please don't abandon me, woooo, I don't want to!"

The Li family members were all too heartbroken to bear it any longer. Li Lao Tai, with great effort, hardened her heart and said persuasively.

"Right now, we're just starting to escape. You guys had better pack your things and run south quickly. We can still make it across the Jinsha River in time and be safe."

But the woman shook her head desperately, insisting on giving her children to the Li family as slaves and beasts of burden.

They haven't read any books and don't have smart minds, but they have an instinctual intuition.

The Li family had already collected their grain and purchased supplies. They were leaving so soon, which clearly meant they had received news beforehand.

Maybe wherever we end up, we'll have a goal.

And their house also has a mule cart, they must be able to travel faster than others.

Children will have a better life following the Li family than following their own. on the ground, wishing he could die from a head-on collision.The son is still alive, that's good news. It's better than freezing to death or being taken by a wild animal.But the bandits wanted someth...
