At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 11
  Security captain Liu Erhu, together with other members of the security team, dug a big hole for several officers and soldiers in an inconspicuous mountain col and buried them. The horse meat only uses some large pieces of meat from the abdomen and legs, and nothing else.

The mountain col that was suddenly suppressed suddenly bulged out into a big bag, which was a bit too conspicuous. Boss An simply found a dead branch, cut it flat, and told others that this was a grave.

There are some dead branches on top to camouflage it, and it looks like a grave from a distance. As for the people who saw it, even if they have too much imagination, they still don’t know what is buried underneath?
  Before setting out on the road, the village chief held a small meeting with the dejected villagers: "1) No one can talk about this matter. When burying people, they always carry the village's children on their backs, but they are also told not to talk nonsense.

2) This thing was done by everyone in the village together. Even if the people who didn’t do it were among the nine clans, no one could escape. It was better to just follow the clan obediently.

3) Xiushan Village is integrated, who will not be left behind? But if there are traitors, they will be exterminated according to the clan rules of the two surnames, regardless of life or death. "

The first two are warnings, and the third is punishment. In this era, genocide is a serious crime. People firmly believe that there is no family, no clan or ancestral hall, and even the soul has no place to go after death.

Suddenly everyone in the village realized the importance of this matter, and after the meeting, they set off in an orderly manner.

An Laoer took a few people and went to the place where the horse stumbled twenty or thirty meters away. He swept the tail again and tried not to leave any traces. Then he walked behind most of the village, walked at the end, and swept the tail again.

After walking forward for an hour, the village chief discussed with the clan elders that it was better to go down the main road! If someone were to look for them along the foot of the mountain, they would not be found directly.

No one dared to rest, so they walked along the road for most of the day. At this time, there were already some refugees on the road. There are people going south and north, and they all go in the direction where there are more people.

The people from Xiushan Village walked forcibly all day, and at night they camped in a place farther away from the mainland. I found two large pots and cooked all the horse meat. This was something that couldn't be kept for a long time. If it wasn't to save a mouthful of food, I shouldn't have kept a little of the horse meat.

Even though the distance was far, the smell of meat still carried far away, and there were always refugees wandering around. Everyone here has just started to escape from famine, and almost everyone still has some food. The food grabbing is not so ruthless. Looking at the team of several hundred people, everyone has a weapon, and no team dares to provoke them for a while.

In the next few days, the village was busy, blending into the low-key rush of the fleeing army. But there were more or less people following behind them. There were a lot of people in their group, and some of them were acting alone or with a family, and they couldn't even be driven away.

In the next few days, they just followed them from a distance and did not disturb their schedule. The village chief and others did not chase them away, and only asked the security team to step up patrols. As long as these people are left alone and want to be protected, it doesn't matter. The world is already so difficult.

The villagers walked along the road for two days and arrived at Anqing City, the southernmost part of the Huainan King's fiefdom. Going out from Anqing is the Yangtze River. The closest place across the river is Chizhou City in Wuchang County. I heard that there are two crops of rice and they eat rice every day. Great place.

The village chief told everyone two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news.
  The good news is that once you have passed Anqing City, crossed the river, and completely left Huainan County, you will be in paradise, and victory is in sight.

The bad news is that the safest way out of Huainan County is through Anqing City. I don’t know what the situation is like in Anqing City now. After all, Anqing City is managed by the Huainan King as a fiefdom.

People in the village were talking about it. It was a good place where there were people and they could ask for directions. It was much better than wandering around in the mountains. In fact, most of the villagers have no idea. They just want to follow the village chief and the clan and go to a better place to live and work in peace and contentment.

Everyone is down below, you look at me, I look at you, most of them don’t have any suggestions, those who cook cook, and those who rest. The village chief sighed, took two clan elders and several young adults to discuss the matter. The village chief looked at An Laoer, the most knowledgeable person in the village, and said, "Justice, you are the most knowledgeable person in the village. What do you think?"

An Laoer frowned and suggested: "Let's not rush into Anqing City. We don't know what the situation is like. This journey can go smoothly because we have many people and weapons. Others have basically already reached this point." There's nothing left to eat.

No matter how much we save, we still have enough food for so many people. Let’s not talk about the river, we are the refugees. Of course, most of the reasons are due to natural disasters, but does the King of Huainan care about us?
  Are they being driven away as refugees, or are they being used as strong laborers to go to the front lines? Or maybe they are lucky. The parents of Anqing City allow everyone to cross the city safely for the sake of the people.

It's hard to tell. I asked other refugees on the road that this place is about three days away from Anqing City. I feel that the closer we are to Anqing City, the more dangerous we are, and the closer we are, the more refugees there will be. "

The village chief and several clan elders listened to An Laoer's analysis, and their faces became even more ugly while smoking. They have all come here. It is impossible to return, and it is impossible to stay here. If you stay here, you will not have a household registration. Any gangster who encounters any force will be destroyed.

In this day and age, unregistered gangsters can be beaten and killed casually without anyone intervening. This is definitely not okay! At this time, household registration management is also very strict. If you can't find an acceptance place, you will definitely become a black household.

Xiushan Village encountered drought and natural disasters, which was already difficult, and it also encountered man-made disasters, so it was difficult to catch strong men and go to the battlefield. If they don't take this opportunity to escape and find a way out, they will either die on the battlefield or starve to death in natural disasters.

Having reached this point, victory is right in front of them, and everyone is definitely not willing to give in.

The village chief looked at a few tall and strong young men and said: "Let's be careful about these first. When we get close to Anqing City, we are not in a hurry to enter the city. We will go there first to inquire about the situation, and then we will take a look.

Regardless of whether we can enter Anqing City or not, we have to go there. If it doesn't work, let's go around the mountain, no matter how long it takes. "

In fact, when the village chief said this, he didn't know if there was any other way through Anqing City, but according to convention, the locals had some secrets that outsiders didn't know about.

Their goal is not to enter Anqing City, they want to cross the river through Anqing City, so whether they can enter Anqing City is not that important.

The elder of the An family wanted to speak, but seeing the morale of these juniors raised by the village chief's few words, he didn't want to say anything.

It's too late to say anything now. There is no turning back when the bow is fired. They just don't know what is waiting for them ahead?
  Boss An touched his head. After hearing what the village chief said, he went back and hugged his daughter with a sad face, making An Ningning laugh.

An Laoer followed behind and saw his brother's worried look. He originally wanted to comfort Yier and analyze it carefully with him, but when he saw this guy teasing his daughter carelessly, he rolled his eyes, picked up Sanbao next to him, and also teased him. Making him chuckle.
