There is no shortage of food on the way to escape famine, and Miss Luck is busy farming

Twenty bags of grain, a carriage, and two hundred taels of silver, it’s a shame they could say it!
  With such a big appetite, can they eat it?
  The old village chief also became hardened at this time. Since they had completely broken up with each other, these so-called fellow villagers had now become enemies and potential enemies of their Qingshui Village, so they must not be able to compromise.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that all their belongings in Qingshui Village will be robbed by these shameless people!
  Instead of doing this, it would be better to be completely tough.

There are only a few people in Qingshui Village, but their fighting power is not weak!

Although more than a dozen people were injured, the fighting power of the others cannot be underestimated.

Judging from the behavior of the people in the three villages along the way since escaping from famine, although there are many of them, the cowards who shrink back when encountering trouble and are unable to handle it at all are probably not what they are. Village rival.

They can even defeat those fierce bandits and thousands of refugees, so are they still afraid of the scattered sand in those three villages?

When the old village chief thought of this, he made a decision in his heart.

He looked at Chen Lizheng and the other two village chiefs, his eyes firm and cold.

"Chen Lizheng, two village chiefs, if you insist on fighting us to the death, then we people in Qingshui Village will never be afraid, so let's compete! We will not give you carriages, food or money. If you have the ability to stop us, then do it, it depends on whether you can stop us or not!"

"You are really arrogant! One village wants to fight against three of our villages? Okay, since you refuse to drink the toast and insist on drinking the fine wine, then we will wait for you in front to see if you can rush through. snort!"

After saying that, Chen Lizheng turned around and strode back angrily.

The itching on his body was already unbearable. When he was talking just now, he couldn't help but twist left and right, and secretly scratched his back with one hand. As a result, the more he scratched, the more itchy he became, and his whole body felt like there were countless ants. Like climbing.

If he stayed any longer, I'm afraid he would be embarrassed in front of everyone in Qingshui Village.

It was so crazy that every time he came to Qingshui Village, he would feel extremely itchy and couldn't help it.

When the other two village chiefs and the family members of Chen Ergou and Chen Xiaoshu saw Chen Lizheng leaving, they saw all the people in Qingshui Village staring at them angrily.

Some of them were holding knives, hoes, and sticks in their hands, and they looked like they were going to attack them if they disagreed.

They did not dare to stay here and quickly turned around and followed Chen Lizheng back.

Chen Ergou and Chen Xiaoshu were carried out of Qingshui Village by their family members. They were frightened by Qiao Ran and tried their best to hold back and did not dare to cry.

He was afraid that his family would go back to settle accounts with the people in Qingshui Village, which would anger Qiao Ran, and that he and his family would have to lose their lives here.

After those people left, the villagers of Qingshui Village were still surrounding the old village chief, waiting for his instructions.

The old village chief cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Since we have decided to completely break with them, there will be no turning back from now on. Everyone should cheer up. As long as we unite as one, no one can bully us! "

"It's already midnight, and it's hard to travel at night. Besides, the people from the three villages are still preparing to block the road. Let's pack up our things first, then walk forward, find a spacious place, and have a good sleep first. , and we’ll have a head-on confrontation with them tomorrow.”

"People watching the night, don't let down your vigilance, in case there are still refugees who are determined to steal our food. As long as we pass tonight, tomorrow we will speed up and surpass these people. As long as we go to the front, there are not that many refugees, we There won’t be so much danger.”

Everyone also nodded in agreement with the old village chief's arrangement. Things were roughly packed, torches were lit, and the bonfire was put out. The group walked a little further, found a more spacious place, and set up camp again. The old village chief sent a few men to investigate. This place was very close to where the three villages were camping.

But it was expected that those cowards would not dare to attack in the middle of the night, so everyone lit a few bonfires and left the night watchers to keep watch.

The others did not unpack their packed bags, but just unfolded the oilcloth they had just rolled up and spread it on the ground, lying on the grass to rest casually for the night.

The rest of the night was uneventful. The refugees were so frightened that no one dared to harass them again.

At dawn, the old village chief woke everyone up.

"Everyone, get up quickly. There's no need to make breakfast. Just eat some chestnuts or something to fill your stomach. We've eaten and are strong. Are we afraid that we won't be able to defeat those cowards who have no food to eat and are afraid of death?"

Everyone got up and took out the cooked chestnuts, cooked yams, flour pancakes and other cooked food they had prepared at home to eat.

On the other side, not far from their camp.

Although Chen Lizheng and the others returned last night, they also told the people in their three villages that they would intercept the people in Qingshui Village and ask them to hand over food, carriages and money.

But they all thought that the people from Qingshui Village would stay where they were and wait until they left before following them. It was impossible for them to be bold enough to actually confront the people from the three villages.

So everyone slept until dawn. They had no food to eat, so they had to wait until dawn before going into the mountains, digging some wild vegetables and picking some wild fruits, and ate them wholeheartedly to fill their hungry stomachs. , don’t be so hungry that your limbs become weak again.

Just as the strong men from each of their families were digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits in the woods, the people from Qingshui Village had already packed their bags and were heading this way.

Chen Lizheng heard the report from the villagers and quickly gathered everyone together to stop the people from Qingshui Village.

However, there were not many middle-aged men left in the camp. Everyone went into the woods to find food for their families. Most of the people left behind were old, weak, women and children.

"Quick! Knock on the copper basin and call the big guys back! Stop the people from Qingshui Village and we will have food to eat!"

Chen Lizheng shouted anxiously, asking everyone to call the men back to stop the people in Qingshui Village.

If they are driven ahead, it will not be easy to intercept them.

When the women heard this, they quickly picked up their own copper basins. Chen Lizheng also picked up the gong used in the village and banged it vigorously.

When the men who entered the forest heard the rapid sound of pots and gongs being beaten, they thought their camp had also been robbed by the refugees, so they ran back in a hurry.

At this time, the villagers of Qingshui Village had arrived in front of the camps of the three villages, and were about to continue walking forward when the road was blocked.

This official road is in the middle of two mountains. There are woods and bushes on both sides of the road.

A total of [-] to [-] strong men from the three villages were blocked in the middle of the road. There were only about [-] people in Qingshui Village, including the old, weak, women and children, who wanted to get through, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.
