Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

When everyone was about to eat, Qingyan suddenly stopped, put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and looked northeast of the main road.

This road is said to be a big road, but it is actually wider than the small road they used to walk, and it can only walk two donkey carts side by side. There is wasteland on both sides, which is relatively open, but it is not straight, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.

What I saw at the end of the road was a village, which meant that the village was just around a corner, blocking the view.

When everyone saw Qingyan's movements, they all stopped their movements, and their voices also disappeared.

Yang Dashan stepped forward and asked: "Miss Xue, what's wrong? Has someone come over?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Qingyan, holding their breath and waiting for her answer.

Qingyan nodded, and replied: "I heard the footsteps of many people, and there seemed to be some livestock. It should be the sound of horseshoes falling to the ground."

Then he looked around and frowned, "I don't know if the person is a passing merchant, a soldier, or a Khitan..."

The reason why I didn't guess it was ordinary villagers passing by or some migratory people like them was because the footsteps were relatively heavy, even if they were a little far away, the footsteps sounded powerful.

Either traveling with baggage, or wearing armor, or wearing cowhide boots.

Unlike the footsteps of ordinary villagers like them, they are all procrastinating, and they are very weak.

Such powerful footsteps of Kong Wu, coupled with the sound of horseshoes, are likely to be Khitans or passing sergeants, and most likely not ordinary merchants or villagers.

In fact, it is best for them to find a place to hide and wait for the changes, and wait for those people to pass by before coming out.

The problem is that the wasteland on both sides now has only calf-high weeds, and there is not even a crooked tree thicker than thighs. It is impossible to hide.

What's more, they still have donkeys and donkey carts, so they can't hide them at all.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and looked in that direction with horror on their faces. They are a group of old and weak women and children, that is, the three of them, Li Hao, Qingyan and one ugly, can fight a little bit. If it is a bad guy who comes , there is really no chance of winning.

Yang Dashan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to the crowd: "Let's clean up quickly and leave before people come over, in case we can escape!"

As soon as everyone came back to their senses, they quickly got up and picked up the things on the ground.

No matter what, it's good to pack up your things first, walk more, and put a little distance between you and the other party.

What's more, if they go to the southwest, there should be a town if they walk a little further there. Hurry up, maybe they can enter the town.

Or if they encounter some villages, if there are houses, they can at least hide for a while.

If the opponent is not hostile, they may just pass by. Of course, if the opponent is an enemy, it is useless to hide anywhere.

While thinking wildly, everyone didn't stop their movements. Just because of thinking like this, they sped up their speed.

The three of Li Hao walked to the side of the road, and Wang Kun rushed to a tree to see if he could see anything.

It's just a pity that the other end of the road is tortuous and can't be seen at all.

They didn't suspect that Qingyan heard it wrong, and they had a deep understanding of Qingyan's hearing ability during this journey, which was beyond ordinary people.

Fortunately, they had put away the straw mats and mattresses for sleeping mats before cooking, and there were only a few pots and pans left on the ground.

He had almost finished his breakfast before, so he put two or three mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth, and before he could wash it, he put all the pottery bowls directly into the wooden barrel and put them on the donkey cart.

Yang Dashan had already put the cart on the donkey's back, and drove the cart directly onto the road.

The other cart was filled with lighter things, such as bedding and straw mats, and the heavy ones were put on the donkey cart.

Liu Sanli is still driving the donkey cart. His legs are much better now, but there are still problems after walking for a long time, so it is best to let him continue to drive the cart. He is also the most skilled at driving the cart. The donkey is also familiar with him. listen to him.

The other car was pulled by Yang Dawang at the front, and Yang Shuanzhu and Yang Erzhuang were pushing each other at the back, which made it faster.

After all, although the cart was light, the wooden wheels and frame were already very heavy, and it was very difficult for one person to pull it.

The women and children walked in front, because they came from the rear, so the front was safer.

The three of Li Hao and Qingyan walked behind to hold the line, and Ugly Heidan and the female goat sat directly on the donkey cart in front.

Chou Chou is to protect them, to avoid unexpected situations in front of him, Heidan is walking too slowly because of his short legs, Qingyan put the little leopard beside him, and let him and Chou Chou watch.
