Chapter 34 Departure

Everything on the mule that Feng Jiuyou was sitting on belonged to her. It was all covered tightly with black cloth. No one knew what was inside.

This also makes it convenient for Feng Jiuyou to take out what he needs from the space at any time.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, a lot of people gathered there. It seemed that the village chief still had some power in Sheung Shui Village.

Not long after Feng Jiuyou and the others arrived, the village chief and his family also arrived driving an ox cart.

The village chief of Shangshui Village is named Li Qian.

The village chief looked around and frowned slightly. It seemed that there were still a few families who did not intend to flee.

Everyone has his destiny, and he has fulfilled his duty.

Although everyone was prepared, when it came time to actually leave, they still wiped away tears.

Some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the village.

This is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations. Now they have to leave their hometown, and they don't know where they will go.

The ancients all believed in returning fallen leaves to their roots. No one would want to leave their hometown unless they had no other choice.

Even Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Liu and Mother Feng lowered their heads and wiped their tears with their sleeves.

The men's eyes were also red, because in order to pass on the legacy, they had to take their loved ones away from the home where they had lived for most of their lives.

When the appointed time arrived, the village chief no longer hesitated, gave the order, and walked in front of the team.

Following closely was the Feng family’s team.

Other villagers, driving bullock carts, pushing carts, and carrying people, all followed the team.

The village elders had held a meeting before, and this time the village chief and the Feng family led the group.

Anyone who disobeys orders will be expelled from the family tree and kicked out of the team.

The entire escape route is full of dangers. No one knows what the road ahead will be like, but we cannot harm the entire village just because of some people.

Under Feng Jiuyou's deliberate guidance, when the Feng family negotiated with the village chief, they all unanimously suggested going south.

Of course the village chief trusted the Feng family. After discussing with the clan, everyone agreed to go south.

The main reason why everyone agreed to go south was that the south was rich in products and the land was fertile, making it easier to survive.

More importantly, the south is the fiefdom belonging to the regent. Although the regent is dead, he still has many capable people under his command.

There are three roads going south, one of which is the official road.

Another way is a combination of water and land.

There is also a rugged mountain road that is difficult to walk.

There were too many uncertainties about the waterway, so everyone dismissed it immediately.

You can't take the official road either. There are about 200 people in Shangshui Village, plus some relatives, the whole team has about 300 people.

There are too many people and the target is too big, which can easily attract the attention of officers and soldiers.

If you are not careful, any man in the village may be captured and made into a young man.

Then the only way is to take the path around the official road, although the path is winding and difficult to walk, and the distance will be increased several times.

For safety reasons, I chose the mountain road.

Fortunately, the people in Sheung Shui Village have always been united. The old, weak, women and children all sat in the cars, and most of the people walking were adult men.

Therefore, the speed of the whole team was not slow. At noon, they reached the foot of the mountains thirty miles away.

The road after that will go around the foot of these mountains. Although it is a mountain road, cattle and horses can still pass it.

As soon as the team stopped, they saw someone already lighting a fire for cooking not far away.

Moreover, the team is not small, and it looks like they have moved entire villages.

While the villagers of Sheungshui Village were surprised, they also believed what the village chief and the Feng family said. The world was about to be in chaos...

After walking in the morning, everyone was a little hungry. As soon as the team stopped, the women at home immediately lit a fire to cook.
