Chapter 697 On the way to escape 3
The Zhang family had probably never seen so much gold and silver jewelry in their lives, so they were all surprised, and then felt a burst of joy. When they left the village, they were in awe, but now that they had this unexpected fortune, they felt at ease. Some.

Old Man Zhang glanced around and saw the expressions of everyone in his family. Fortunately, no one had any greed, and some were happy and lucky.

"This is an unexpected windfall, but it's because of those people's impure thoughts that our family missed it. I'll make the decision and divide the food and money. Do you have any objections?"

Old man Zhang said.

"No objection, we all listen to dad."

Several sons expressed their opinions.

Song Dachuan also said that he had no objection. He took a lighter view. After all, there were gold bars harvested by Lianyi from Wankou Mountain. Sharing these things with him was just the icing on the cake. It would also give them a source of money in the future. He would not mind sharing more or less. No comment.

"That's good! I will divide the money into six parts. Your mother and I will take one share. You four brothers and the Dachuan family will each get one share. When we arrive in Huangzhou, we will use the money to build houses and purchase fields."

Everyone expressed no objection after hearing this.

"Master, after the money is divided, don't put it all in the hands of the head of the family. Also hide some in the four aunts and three brothers. You can't put the eggs in one basket. Who knows what will happen on the road? If We spread out so we can have emergency funds."

Ripple reminded him timely.

The three aunts all cast kind glances at Lianyi, so it was only safe to hold the money in their own hands.

"Lianyi is right. Most people think that money is placed in the hands of men in charge. Even if they want to rob, it is for them. In this way, if the money is spread out and we encounter those victims who are desperate for their lives, we can give up part of the money to escape."

Lao Zhang agreed with Lianyi's suggestion.

This time everyone had no objections.

"After the money is divided, you guys will work hard to sew all the things into the layers of clothes or quilts, hiding them how you can."

Old man Zhang said directly.

Then Old Man Zhang divided the money into six parts in front of everyone. He asked his wife to take one part, and his four sons and Song Dachuan took the rest.

The four sons showed humility and asked their wives to get it. Except for the youngest son, who chose it himself, the other three sons' wives chose the pile of money they liked. Song Dachuan waited until everyone had finished choosing. , and took the last portion.

Then the women got busy, and the men lay down with their clothes on to catch up on their sleep. Tomorrow they would be the main force pulling the carts, so they should have a good rest.

Lianyi also asked Song Dachuan to rest, and she fell asleep with Huzi in her arms. Only Huiniang lit the torch and together with the three sisters-in-law, began to carefully hide the money, and whispered a few words from time to time to pay attention to the surroundings. Case.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the second half of the night. When it was dawn, the four of them had breakfast ready, including Liu's confinement meal.

Because of the harvest of those three bags of grain, the breakfast and confinement meal were very rich, and everyone was able to eat seven to eight cents full.

After Mrs. Liu had breakfast, she held the baby Yuanbao (nickname) and nursed herself.

Although Liu's village suffered a disaster during her late pregnancy, the family had enough food. As a pregnant woman, she was the only one in the family who could eat enough because she still had one in her belly.

This is the tradition of the Zhang family. No matter how difficult it is, pregnant women cannot be deducted. The three previous sisters-in-law have come here this way. Especially since this is the youngest brother's first child, everyone is more concerned about it and no one has said anything harsh.

Because she had enough to eat and didn't do heavy work, Mrs. Liu was raised well. Now her chest was swollen with milk. After Yuan Bao sucked it for a few times, it cleared up. After Yuan Bao finished eating and was patted for burping, she held the little baby in her hand. The fist fell asleep and was not disturbing at all.The Zhang family immediately packed up quickly and set off again.

Because of what happened last night, all the men were on alert, but their pace did not slow down at all.

Looking at the fields gnawed by locusts on both sides of the road, everyone felt sad. On the road, they also saw groups of beggars. However, these people saw that most of the 20 people in the team were men. I didn't dare to rob openly, I just went over to beg for some food.

Although these people looked pitiful, the Zhang family did not dare to stop. The victims who stretched out their hands to take advantage of the opportunity were knocked away by Ripple with a stick.

Ripple only knocked people away instead of injuring them. It gave them leeway and served as a warning to the monkeys. Sure enough, some people saw that the girls in the team were not easy to mess with. The timid ones naturally backed down, and the bold ones were just Follow them from a distance, hoping to wait for them to relax before taking action.

Since he hit the road, Lianyi has taken off the white gauze on his face to expose his terrifying right face. Firstly, there is no need to hide it, and secondly, it is to scare some people away.

There are always people who think that a girl wearing a veil is a beautiful girl, and there is no guarantee that she will not have some bad intentions. She simply shows her ugly face, so that these people will not want to take a second look at it after taking the first look.

The Zhang family has become accustomed to Lianyi's face. Moreover, their own family members all know that the injuries on Lianyi's face are much lighter than when they first returned to Zhangjiacun. Huiniang said that the detoxifier was prepared by Dr. Hong from Puji Hall in the town. The scar cream has worked, and the scars on my face have faded a lot.

Although my family members were used to it, outsiders would still be frightened. Therefore, after Lianyi whipped the people away with a stick, there were far fewer people surrounding them, which made everyone feel relieved.

"Boss! Speed ​​up the pace! Anyone who can come down should come down and walk for a while, and then rest after passing this section!"

Old man Zhang got off the cart himself, took two steps, and said to Zhang Zhong who was taking the lead.

"Yes, Dad!"

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xin, put her youngest daughter on the cart and joined the push of the cart with her two sons.

It was really thrilling just now. If it weren't for Lianyi's attack, their entire team would have been blocked by the beggars slowly surrounding them.

Lianyi carried a solid wooden stick and walked back and forth in the team. She asked Song Dachuan to protect Huiniang and Huzi, while she looked after the entire team.

The group of people kept their heads down and walked for two full hours. After leaving the area where the victims gathered and leaving behind those who had no energy to follow, they slowed down a little.

"Sir, it's not safe to rest now. While there are few people, everyone takes turns to eat. We have to continue on our way."

Lianyi walked to Old Man Zhang carrying the stick and whispered.

Because of Lianyi Lu's hand, Old Man Zhang was also willing to listen to his granddaughter's opinion.

"That's what I mean too. I noticed that a few of those people looked at us wrongly. Maybe we have to travel all night tonight."

Jiang is still very old, and Old Man Zhang also sees some skills, so he agrees with Lianyi's remarks.

"They are still following us from a distance!"

Ripple also discovered these people. Although these people were dressed in tatters, their figures and complexions did not look like disaster victims who had been hungry for a long time.
