"Second child, third child, you two go to the victims first to find out information. Don't act separately. You two go together."

Lao Zhangtou immediately ordered that they didn't know anything and it was not good for them to rush into the pile of victims. If they were washed away, they would have no place to cry.

"Okay, Dad!"

After the two agreed, they each held a dagger in their arms and walked into the crowd of victims. The two daggers were seized from the hands of those strong men.

The remaining people, led by Lianyi, stayed away from the indifferent victims. Many people had already cast their green eyes on them, but they saw that they were mostly men and they were holding hatchets, kitchen knives and other weapons in their hands. , so there is no fault.

Ripple frowned. It was daytime, and these people could still hold back. Once night came, those extremely hungry people would definitely reach out to them, because they didn't look like they were hungry.

"Master, we must leave here before tonight, otherwise we will not be able to leave."

Lianyi jumped off the cart and whispered to Lao Zhangtou.

"Well, I saw that some people looked at us differently."

Lao Zhangtou is not stupid. He has been gone for more than half a month, and he can still tell them apart by the look in their eyes.

"Wait until your second uncle and third uncle find out the news."

Lianyi nodded and walked over to ask Hui Niang to tie the tiger to her chest to prevent anyone from snatching the child. Several aunts also followed the same example and tied the youngest child to their chest, especially Liu, who tied the child Carefully and carefully.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jun and Zhang Cheng, sweating profusely, squeezed out of the gathering place for the victims and walked towards this side.

"How is it going?"

Old man Zhang asked, and everyone else focused their attention on the two of them.

"Dad, this Haoyuan County is already in a state of semi-lockdown. You can only go out but not in. There is only one corner door open. The only people who can go in and out are the rich households in this city, and some who have fled from the south of Liangzhou. Rich families use money or food to clear the way and pay several times more than usual to enter the city."

Zhang Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke first.

"Common people like us, if there is a road guide, will be charged on a per-person basis, which is ten taels of silver per person. A young man like Feng Liang will also be charged five taels of silver."

Zhang Cheng continued.

"Tsk, why don't they grab it!"

Zhang Shi clenched his fists and said angrily.

"In this situation, my stomach is not full, who can get so much money!"

Song Dachuan also said in a deep voice.

"So there are people who collect children at the gate. If they see a handsome child, they will use the child to pay the cost of entering the city and let the civilians in.

When we touched the small door just now, we saw a family who had sold their twin sons to get in. But they were already penniless, and there was nothing they could do even if they entered the city. "

Zhang Jun shook his head and sighed.

"We have money, why don't we spend it to avoid disaster and go to the city first?"

Zhang Zhong lowered his voice and said.

"Uncle, I'm afraid that's not possible. These soldiers guarding the city have colluded with the human traffickers. What if they don't want the money and insist on keeping their brothers and sisters?"

Ripple has no illusions about such people.

"this"

The two of them were stuck after hearing what Lianyi said. After all, this thing is really possible. Their children are well-raised. Although they have fled the famine all the way, they are at least 70% full, even if 30% of the food they brought has been consumed. Secondly, the children are still in good spirits, but they are afraid of being targeted by traffickers.

"What should we do?"

"Get back first and leave this place where victims gather. Too many people can cause trouble. Let's ensure our own safety first and then think of a solution."

Lianyi looked at the sun that was already setting slightly in the west and said directly.

"Let's go back. I saw a forest before. Let's go deeper and avoid it tonight."

Lao Zhangtou paid attention to his surroundings all the way and made a decision immediately.

Everyone said nothing, turned around and left with the cart. Even so, several groups of people stared at them and followed them, as if they wanted to find out where they were staying.

Ripple pretended not to know and asked everyone to speed up their pace. They walked back six miles and stopped in a bald forest.

"Master, uncles, dad, you go in first, and I will follow you."

Ripple let the others go in first, she wanted to deal with those tails.

"Lianyi, be careful. If you can't deal with it, run back. Don't get yourself involved."

Lao Zhangtou immediately ordered, and Song Dachuan also stared at Lianyi closely, waiting for her answer.

"I know, don't worry!"

After saying that, Ripple turned around and ran back to the road, and happened to come face to face with the group of people. Before the other party could react, Ripple's stick had already fallen, knocking out seven or eight people in three strokes, five divided by two.

Then she waited for a while, but before she could see the people who had fallen into the trap, she threw the fainted people one by one into the field ridge by the dirt road, then clapped her hands and prepared to return.

After walking only two steps, she heard the sound of horse hooves, and then saw a carriage appearing at the end of the dirt road. The carriage came at full speed, raising a large cloud of dust, so she gave way to the roadside. She did not want to be kicked by the horse.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The horse is frightened! Get out of the way!"

Hearing the driver's exclamation, Ripple realized that something was wrong with the two horses pulling the cart. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been stimulated by something, and he just rushed forward while sneezing.

Ripple didn't intend to care, and had already turned around and jumped into the field. The voice of the stone mortar that had not appeared for a long time could be heard in her ears:

"Lianyi, the person in the car is the minister responsible for the disaster relief. You should find a way to save him. Otherwise, the disaster in southern Liangzhou will spread to the north and even Huzhou, and many people will die."

Lianyi knew that her mission was coming to an end, so she did this again.

She immediately stopped her actions, turned around and ran towards the carriage, scaring the driver so much that he shouted:

"Get out of the way! You don't want to live anymore!!!"

Then, under the horrified gaze of the other party, Lianyi jumped onto the horse's back, pulled the reins directly, and forced the two horses to stop.

Because Ripple's strength was so great, the upper bodies of both horses were lifted up by the reins in her hands. The carriage also formed a 30-degree slope with the ground. Sounds of "dong" and "ouch" came from the carriage. Apparently, there was something inside. of people got knocked.

"Stop it, don't let me beat you!"

Ripple said coldly to the two crazy horses.

As if feeling the powerful aura on Ripple's body, the two horses landed on their front hooves and did not dare to run anymore. However, their hooves still bounced back and forth on the ground, showing their irritable mood.

Ripple then loosened the reins, turned around and shouted to the people in the carriage:

"Are the people inside okay? Just say yes if everything is okay!"

"It's okay!"

After three breaths, a voice came from inside.

The coachman had jumped off the carriage, opened the carriage door, and helped the people inside out.

See you tomorrow, babies~
