If Liu Pan'er hadn't been cautious and ruthless, they would have been deceived by Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu this time, and their final end would have been tragic, with no one knowing how they died!

Liu Pan'er nodded and looked at Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu on the ground, "What should we do with these two people?"

Village Chief Li has a sinister look on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. In what year can no one escape from famine without death? Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu deserve to die if they want to kill everyone.

"You guys tied up Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu and followed me to the dense forest." Village Chief Li said coldly, with a gloomy look on his face.

Village Chief Li is a good old man, but he is not without a bottom line. He will never show mercy to bad guys like Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu.

Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu were so frightened that they turned pale and trembled, "Village chief, please let me go, let us go. We have no choice, our parents are in their hands, forcing us to do this."

Although they sympathized with the Wang family's plight, the people in Lijia Village were frightened and resentful when they thought that these two brothers actually harmed them.

Village Chief Li winked at the middle-aged man, and the man immediately removed Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu's jaws and walked into the dense forest together.

About a moment later, Village Chief Li led his people back from the depths of the woods, "Yuan Qing's family, it's all thanks to you this time."

Liu Pan'er shook his head, "At first I was just suspicious and scared them, but I didn't expect them to be so vicious. Now let's not delay and hurry up. We have to cross the sky before the bandits can react. Otherwise, we will wait for those

The bandits came and blocked us inside, which really made the sky and the earth inoperable."

Village Chief Li was convinced, "Yes, we traveled all night and couldn't delay."

Liu Pan'er agreed, turned around and hurried back, found a place where several children were hiding, pulled out the bullock cart, and told the children what happened.

Li Dabao was frightened for a while, "They were caught by bandits and turned into bad guys like bandits."

Li Rong was the most indignant, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit. This person is bad to the core. Even if they were not captured by the bandits, they were still bad people when they tried to rob Anan and Xiaobao. Maybe they had done more dirty things in private."

I really hope the village chief kills those two bad guys directly!"

Liu Pan'er listened to what Li Rong and Li Dabao said behind her, and reminded Li Rong and Li Dabao, "When we get to the other side of the sky, if our ox cart cannot pass, we may have to abandon it."

"Ah?" Li Dabao was dumbfounded and looked anxious, "What about Lao Huang? Do we want to abandon him? Lao Huang has been in our family for so many years, and we understand human nature. We can't abandon Lao Huang."

Li Rong was reluctant to part with her. She and her brother could walk, but her younger siblings were still young. There was no bullock cart and they had to be carried on their backs all the way. They couldn't walk very far in a day. When could they get to the south?

Liu Pan'er still doesn't know how the traffic jam ahead is going to be, and it's too early to draw a conclusion now, "Dabao, don't worry, I won't abandon Lao Huang if we have the chance.

But if we don’t take this road and go to Yelangling, we will be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth and will be caught directly by those bandits. By then, not only the old scalpers will suffer, but the rest of us will not have an easy time either.”

Li Dabao was silent, looking reluctantly at Lao Huang who was pulling the cart.

In the evening, everyone made a fire to cook, had enough to eat and drink, and continued on their way through the night. Although they were holding torches, they did not dare to stop even though the speed was slow.

Some of the fleeing people who originally went back did not continue to go back and followed the people from Lijiacun. Some people saw with their own eyes that stones blocked the road and made it difficult to pass, so they chose to take a detour and go through Yelangling.

These are all personal choices, and Liu Paner has nothing to do about it.

At noon the next day, when they finally reached a short distance from the sky, Liu Paner stopped the cart and asked Li Dabao to look at the cart and the child. She followed the village to have a look.

Seeing this, Liu Pan'er's heart dropped. Countless boulders slid down from the mountain, directly blocking the narrow road under the sky. The pile of stones was more than ten feet tall. The surrounding mountains were steep, dozens of feet high.

Even if they can climb over the rocks, ox carts and oxen will never be able to get through.

Village Chief Li looked solemn and frowned, "Da Zhuang, climb up and see if you can climb over the pile of rocks?"

"Yes, village chief." Da Zhuang responded and began to climb up. Sometimes he would step on smaller rocks and fall down, which was very dangerous.

A young man like Da Zhuang would find it difficult to climb a pile of rocks more than ten feet high. An older man might not be able to climb up.

The oxcart and the oxen had no choice but to be abandoned.

Da Zhuang stood on the top of the pile of rocks. The other side was similar to this one. When going down, you have to be more careful. If you are not careful, you may fall or be hit by the small rocks above.

Li Dazhuang turned over again, sweating profusely and panting, "Village Chief, it should be okay for a strong man, and it should be okay for a woman to hold on to the rope, but it will be difficult for children and the elderly to climb over."

Liu Pan'er didn't wait for Village Chief Li to answer. She climbed up. Like a nimble monkey, she climbed to the top in a dozen breaths.

Liu Pan'er frowned. It was too steep. It was impossible for the elderly and children to climb over. It would also be dangerous for the middle-aged people to climb up with people on their backs.

Liu Pan'er stood on it and said to Village Chief Li below: "Village Chief, it's too steep, and the stones are not strong and easy to scatter. We have to find a way to throw the stones down. The pile of stones will become shorter, and then the stones will fall apart."

Find a way to strengthen it so that the elderly, women and children can climb over. You guys stand back and I'll try to see if I can push the rocks above."

Liu Pan'er picked up a large stone that was about the diameter of one and a half arms, pushed it down hard, and tried to suck it, but it didn't move at all.

Liu Pan'er smiled bitterly and looked at the people below with an apologetic look, "I can't push it. Let's have a full meal first. We will find wooden sticks and tools in the afternoon and we can push it together!"

Village Chief Li didn't expect Liu Pan'er to push it forward at all, but the method Liu Pan'er said was indeed the most effective method at the moment.

You can't let young adults crawl over and leave the elderly and children behind, right?

"Okay, Yuan Qing's family, come down quickly. We were on the road yesterday and haven't eaten yet at noon today. Let's eat first, sleep first, and then start working." Village Chief Li decided immediately that he was the village chief and he would do his best.

Bring everyone there.

For example, his family has an eldest mother and a grandson who is just two years old. No matter what, he cannot leave them behind.

When Liu Pan'er came back, she saw that Li Dabao and Li Rong had set up the pot racks and were preparing to cook. She took out the uneaten potatoes, washed them, peeled them, shredded them, blanch them in hot water, and sprinkled them with salt.

Mix with soy sauce to make cold potato shreds.

Today’s porridge finally has side dishes.
