After a while, the entire camp learned the news that the two cities of Anyi and Dafang had been destroyed.
Everyone unanimously decided not to rest tonight and rush to Fengqing County overnight.
They have been traveling non-stop these days, and now they are on the territory of Xinyi. They originally thought they could take a rest.
Now it seemed that not only could we not rest, we had to continue walking. We had to cross Fengqing and reach Annan Fucheng as soon as possible.
Knowing the priority of the matter, everyone packed their things as quickly as possible.
After a tiring day, no one complained or had any dissatisfaction.
Children who were too tired to walk were carried on their backs and placed on the cart.
The old man also insisted not to get in the car and burden his children and grandchildren, so the group continued to move forward in silence.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yunjin felt very sad. This is war. No matter what era it is, the people at the bottom will always suffer.
She could do nothing at the moment except use the farm to put some water out on the way and occasionally get some wild eggs to satisfy her cravings.
Thanks to finding a lot of food in the village, each family's food bags were bulging, so they didn't faint from eating or drinking too little.
A large team of several hundred people rushed on the road under the cover of night. Some people who passed by were stopping to rest, and they also reminded them.
Not as calm as Xu Yunjin and others, most of the victims on the road cried and complained about God, scolded the barbarians, and some even dared to insult the court.
Unlike them, these people have the cheating artifact Xu Yunjin, and the large team can occasionally replenish their water supply.
Although they cannot drink too much at one time, it also ensures that they can drink a few more sips of water every day.
In such a dry year, a sip of water may save your life.
The old people and children lying on the roadside all have chapped lips, sallow complexions, and thin bodies. Each of them is thin and has a big head and a small body. Their big eyes are like decorations hanging on their faces.
Young adults are not much better. Most families will focus on adult men. After all, their physical strength is greater, but these men are not much better now.
Xu Yunjin looked uncomfortable, but she had no choice. She had endless water resources, but she still couldn't help them. She could only lower her head and not look at the people lying on the ground.
Xu Yunqing, who was walking next to him, felt Xu Yunjin's thoughts and reached out to squeeze his sister's hand.
Xu Yunjin raised his head and looked at his brother, with a forced smile on his lips, signaling Xu Yunqing not to worry.
Some people felt that the barbarians would not attack so quickly and decided to rest for the night before leaving, but most people still packed up their things and followed them.
From sunset to sunrise, we only rested for an hour and a half. No one unloaded their things, so they sat on the floor leaning against each other and took the time to rest.
Xu Yunjin was also very tired. After going to the farm to drink some water, he fell asleep leaning against Lin. At dawn, he set off again.
"Woad, you go to the bullock cart and have a rest."
Xu Yunjin looked worried at Luo Silan's pale face. They had been walking for most of the day under the scorching sun and had taken a rest last night.
Normal people can't bear it, not to mention the poor health. The livestock have no water to drink, and they don't have the strength to continue walking.
Every family saves water for their livestock, and Luo Songlan also knows it. Therefore, Luo Songlan rejects Xu Yunjin's proposal immediately. She cannot hold back.
Xu Yunjin looked worried but had no choice. The surrounding area was all flat land with an unobstructed view, and there was no place to drain water. Each family had saved half of the water they had saved before.
But no one dared to take it out and use it, and now people from their villages were not the only ones on the road.
Their team was large and fat, with many young and middle-aged men, and there were also Zhao family guards armed with swords.
Along the way, I don’t know how many people were frightened who wanted to take advantage of them.
At this moment, if others see that they still have so much water, no one can guarantee that something will happen if they reach their limit.
The village had already told them that no one was allowed to be kind-hearted along the way, in order to avoid being missed by caring people, so everyone hid it in a tacit agreement.
"Everyone, stop and rest for half an hour, eat something, and then we'll continue our journey."
Xu Yongshan's voice came from the front of the team, and the entire team breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Silan suddenly collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Xu Yunjin pulled her up in time, otherwise she might have landed on her face.
"Woad, are you okay? Grandpa Luo, Tiandong, please bring water quickly."
Xu Yunjin quickly hugged Luo Silan in his arms and reached out to feel Luo Silan's pulse. It was okay, but she was just too tired.
Hearing that he could take a rest, he relieved his body and did not fall ill. Otherwise, it would have taken the arrival of the Great Luo Immortal to save Luo Silan's life.
When Mr. Luo heard Xu Yunjin's voice, he turned around and saw Luo Silan's face turned pale when he fainted on the ground. He picked up the bamboo tube and ran to Xu Yunjin's side.
"Ajin, Isatis...is she okay?"
Mr. Luo knelt down and handed the water to Xu Yunjin. He saw Xu Yunjin checking his granddaughter's pulse, and his voice was trembling a little, "It's okay, Grandpa Luo, Isatis is just too tired and a little exhausted, let her take a good rest."
rest."
When the village chief and the Xu family saw the situation here, they put down their food and water and came to help.
The temperature on the ground was too high, so Xu Yunjin asked Lin and Li to spread a layer of oilcloth and straw mat on the ground, and then they carried Luo Silan up.
"Grandpa, village chief, if we find a place to rest tonight, the village will send a few teams out to find water. If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will not be able to hold on."
Luo Tiandong sat on the ground and used his clothes to block Luo Silan from the sun. Xu Yunjin stood up and looked around.
Everyone's faces were dirty. They hadn't washed their faces for who knows how long. It was hard to tell how bad their complexions were.
Except for the three people in their village who still have some strength, the people following them are already lying on the ground without caring at this moment. There are also some people who have been observing them and don't know what to think about.
"Ah Jin is right. If you find water at night, don't tell us about it. Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. If someone robs it, so many refugees will besiege us. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to escape."
Xu Danian thought about it and felt that it made sense. There were at least two to three thousand people on this road, and most of them were traveling in groups. In order not to attract attention, they had been keeping a low profile in recent days.
When the rest time was coming and Luo Silan hadn't woken up yet, Xu Yunjin asked Xu Wu to feed the cow some water, put Luo Silan on the bullock cart, and started on his way.
By the time Luo Silan woke up, the sky was already dark. For the past two days, they waited until the sky was completely invisible before stopping to rest. They set off as soon as it started to dawn in the morning.
"Ah Jin, what's wrong with me?"
Luo Silan woke up and felt like she was lying on the cart. She turned around and saw Xu Yunjin walking next to the bullock cart. She thought she was sick again.
"Woad, you're awake. You're fine. You're just a little too tired. How do you feel now? Are you out of breath like before? Just lie down for a while. We'll be at the resting place soon."
Xu Yunjin looked at Luo Silan and remembered, and quickly asked her to lie down. The village had already sent people to find a resting place, and they would be there in two quarters of an hour's walk.
…
"Everyone will stop here to rest for the night and continue on the road tomorrow morning."
Hearing Xu Dahai banging the gong and using the loudspeaker to announce where he was, Xu Yunjin asked Luo Silan to get out of the car.
Since escaping from famine, the Xu Lin, Chen, Li, Luo, Zhao family and the village chief's seven families have camped next to each other, so after dinner, the families gathered around to discuss who should go together to find water.
"Uncle Village Chief, let's go with my eldest brother, Anan, and Ajin. Ajin is lucky. Anan is an adult now, so it's time for him to get some exercise."
Xu Danian originally wanted to reject Xu Wen's proposal. Xu Yunjin was a little girl after all, and he was afraid of being in danger when going out at night, but seeing that none of the Xu family had any objections, he had no choice but to agree.
Finally, the candidates for the three teams were determined. Four people from the Xu family went east, two guards from the Zhao family and four people from Lin Hu and Chen Sihuai went west, and four people, Xu Yongshan, Li Dahua, Wu Chang, and Wang Erzhu, went south. This chapter has been completed!
