Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 14 Difficult
When they saw the bullock cart coming from behind, they were all frightened and ran away with their heads in their hands, shouting:

"Master, spare your life! Lord, spare your life!"

Su Yuanshan stopped the bullock cart, got down and bowed, and explained: "Don't get me wrong! We are not the True Dragon Army. Our family is also from Qianhua Town. We just escaped by luck in the bullock cart."

After hearing this, the villagers raised their heads and looked at Su Yuanshan and the children and women sitting on the cart behind Su Yuanshan, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

They glanced at the oxcart for a few times, and then continued on their way forward with concern.

You can't stop now. Maybe if you stay a little longer, the True Dragon Army in Qianhua Town will catch up and kill them all.

After Su Yuanshan finished speaking, he returned to the bullock cart and drove silently, following the middle and rear position of the team.

Everyone waited until daybreak before finding a shady place on the side of the road and stopping.

Everyone didn't talk to each other, and looked for a place to rest with painful and numb expressions.

Some people escaped together. They gathered around and muttered, not knowing what they were talking about.

Most often only one person escapes.

In order to survive, they sat together in a tacit understanding and talked sadly, probably discussing how to temporarily escape together.

Su Yuanshan drove the ox cart to a big rock. It was a little far away from the crowd of people on the way, but not too far. It was just that they couldn't hear their conversation.

Su Bujing handed Su Yuanshan a water bag, which she took out from the main room yesterday and kept hanging on her waist.

Su Yuanshan took the water bag, gulped down some saliva, and said, "My dear, you were very brave last night. My father must thank me very well. If it hadn't been for my dear, my father might have..."

Su Bujing blocked Su Yuanshan's mouth, pursed his lips and said, "Dad, don't say unlucky words!"

How could she let something happen to her father?

Su Yuanshan's eyebrows relaxed, he nodded slightly, and after praising Su Buwei's decisive performance last night, he turned to Zhao and said:

"Jing Niang, look at how many things we brought with us when we escaped this time."

As soon as Mrs. Zhao escaped yesterday, she had already counted all her belongings. Now that she was asked, she opened her mouth:
"One pot, two bowls, one quilt, three jackets, two pieces of bacon, ten sweet potatoes, a bag of salt...and the kitchen knife and hoe you are holding in your hands, and the water bag just now..."

"Because it was so sudden, I didn't even have time to pack up the food I bought yesterday and take it away, as well as the carriage I made an appointment with yesterday... It's all my fault. It would be great if the food could be put on the oxcart in advance!"

The sweet potatoes and corns I bought were placed in the back room. The situation was urgent and I might not be able to escape even a minute later.

No one expected that the accident would come so suddenly. Su Yuanshan didn't even have time to buy an axe.

Su Bujing suddenly thought of the rabbit gauze lantern hanging on the wall on the night of the Lantern Festival. He wondered if it was broken now...

Su Buyi tried to persuade her: "Mom, how can I blame you? You were thinking of putting things on the carriage the next day... who could have predicted this?"

Mrs. Zhao sighed gloomily and continued: "Fortunately, I sold some shops and farms a few days ago, so I took the money with me."

With just this little thing, a family of six has to eat and drink every day. What can we do?

Su Yuanshan said: "Well, our family is lucky enough to be able to escape intact. Now we are looking forward to getting to the county town or the village as soon as possible. As long as there are people, we can buy things with money. "

Everyone in the Su family nodded.

Then, Su Yuanshan said: "Although we were well prepared before, because the incident happened suddenly, we didn't bring much, and we couldn't just sit back and have nothing."

Su Buyi quickly answered: "Dad, I'm going to find some wild fruits and vegetables nearby. We can't move the food we brought unless absolutely necessary." Su Buwei also followed up and said: "I'll go with my eldest brother! Give me this kitchen knife, and I’ll go look for bamboo around here and cut it down for water.”

"Go, go, but don't go too far. Pay attention to safety and be careful of the True Dragon Army!" Su Yuanshan waved his hand.

Su Bujing also stood up, "Dad, I want to go with my second brother. He may not be as strong as me! I can help chop the bamboo faster!"

Su Buwei:...

The person who said this is his sister, so he can't be angry!
After Su Yuanshan saw Su Bujing's nimble skills last night, he felt relieved and let Su Bujing go with him, but he still said:

"Be safe, don't go too far, let your second brother do the heavy work!"

Su Bujing:...

Su Buwei:...

This is my dear father!

After leaving Mrs. Zhao looking at her luggage and Su Buyou, Su Yuanshan walked to the front of the team, saluted the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the team, and said:
"I'm Su Yuanshan. He moved to Qianhua Town not long ago. I would like to ask where you are going."

The leading middle-aged man has a well-maintained beard, pale skin, and a wise light in his eyes. He is wearing an indigo round-neck satin robe and has a fine Pixi jade pendant hanging from his waist. fall.

He returned the greeting and said: "I am Chen Wanli, a native of Qianhua Town. Our group has decided to go all the way south to Yongzhou, which is next to Qizhou. I wonder if you want to go with us?"

Su Yuanshan was overjoyed, "Yes, we are also planning to go to Yongzhou! I would like to ask, can we join your team?"

"Brother Su, you're welcome! Since we are all people who escaped from Qianhua Town, we can naturally go together!" Chen Wanli waved his hand generously.

Then, Chen Wanli opened his mouth in embarrassment:

"Brother Su, I have a heartfelt request... I wonder if my mother and my little son can sit in your oxcart. One of them is old and the other is still young. They really can't stand running around day and night! "

Chen Wanli sighed, pointed at the 50-year-old woman and the four-year-old child behind him, spread his hands and said helplessly:

"But please don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain. This is the only thing I can use now..."

Chen Wanli took off the Pixi jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Su Yuanshan.

"There are still two empty seats in our bullock cart. It's just a little effort. I can't accept the things." Su Yuanshan waved his hands repeatedly.

If you don't accept it, it's just a matter of affection. If you accept it, the relationship between the two families will be even.

Su Yuanshan resolutely refused to accept anything. Chen Wanli said gratefully: "Brother Su, if there is any need for help along the way from now on, I will do my best!"

Su Yuanshan looked at Chen Wanli, and the two smiled at each other.

On the other side, before the fleeing people could react, Su Buyi had already found some edible wild vegetables while looking for food.

Su Buyi looked at Su Buwei and Su Bujing in Su Buwei's arms, and warned him for the thousandth time: "Second brother, be careful when using the knife. Don't cut your hand. You must take a good look at it later." Holding my sister."

Su Buwei smiled and weighed Su Bujing, who was sitting on his arm, and said, "Brother! Don't you feel at ease when I do things?"

Su Buyi:...

He is really not at ease!
