Uncle Zhou hid all the things that could not be taken away with him in the cellar, including good luck, good luck and fortune. After covering the cellar, he moved the food and water to the car, tied them up and covered them with tarpaulin.

After Zhou Jia worshiped his grandfather and mother in the small ancestral hall, he put the tablets of his grandfather and mother into a box, carried them and put them in the wooden box inside the carriage. He said to Li Qing who was waiting there: "Ah Qing, go to the study. , there is homework I prepared for you on the desk, you take it with you."

"Yes, sir." Li Qing responded and ran towards the study.

Aunt He came out of the kitchen with a bag of food and put it in the car. "Master, I have put all these food in the car. Remember to take them out to eat!"

Zhou Jia nodded, "I understand. Have you prepared food in your car?"

"It's ready. I'm going to take out the water bag." Aunt He turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Qing came out of the study with a big bag on his back. Uncle Zhou also packed the gifts and came over to help Zhou Jia tidy up. "Master, the gifts are all packed, let's go!"

Zhou Jia nodded and led Li Qing towards the outside of the house. Three large green mule carts and an ox cart slowly walked towards Li Yu's house.

Li Yu and Liu Changmin moved the wheat to the car, and Li Mei hung the rolled noodles on the bamboo poles in the kitchen. Two braziers were lit under the bamboo poles to bake the noodles.

A mule cart was loaded with bamboo mats, bedding, food and water, and an ox cart was filled with grain and fodder.

Li Yu took out a dagger, handed it to Liu Changmin and said, "Uncle, this is for your self-defense."

Liu Changmin was stunned for a moment when he looked at the dagger, and then he took it. Li Yu pointed at his calf and said, "Tie the sheath on your leg with a cloth strap to make it easier to take it out."

Liu Changmin nodded and walked heavily to find a cloth to take with him.

Zhou Jia and Li Qing took people back to Li's house. The yard of Li Yu's house was filled with mule carts. They unloaded the carts and took the animals to tie them in the backyard.

The two families saw that Li Zhoujia took Li Yu aside, rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the sleeve arrows on his arms, and asked Li Yu worriedly, "Xiaoyu, where did you buy this thing? Do many people know about this thing? ?”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, "I bought them at the blacksmith shop in the town. I bought a hand crossbow and three sleeve arrows. The hand crossbow costs fifty taels of silver each, and the sleeve arrows cost thirty taels of silver each!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you met a thief and robbed it! Thirty taels is not expensive, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this kind of thing."

Li Yu secretly laughed in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled, "Oh! I should have bought two more if I had known."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's expression and felt something was wrong. Ji Xiang ran over and said to the two of them: "Master, Miss Li, Village Chief Chen is here."

"Okay." Li Yu and Zhou Jia returned to the yard and saw the village chief standing in front of the mule cart looking at the oilcloth covering the carriage. Li Yu stepped forward and said, "Village Chief Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me?"

The village chief looked at Li Yu and Zhou Jia and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, we originally agreed that fifteen families would go together, but today more than a dozen families came, and nearly three families came together." There are ten families, and I’m just here to talk to you.”

Zhou Jia smiled lightly and said, "Village Chief Chen is fine. We are all fellow villagers. We will take care of each other when we go together."

After hearing this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said to the two of them: "That's good. Everyone should be more alert when sleeping at night. I'm afraid these bandits will come again."

Zhou Jia thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief Chen, I think they may be coming for my family and the Xu family, but I think you should tell the villagers that just in case, you'd better gather everyone together tonight Let’s go together tomorrow morning.”

"Okay, I'll go back and tell everyone that they can all live in the ancestral hall."

Li Yu and Zhou Jia saw off the village chief. Li Mei and Aunt He prepared the meal. Everyone closed the kitchen door and ate in the kitchen. Li Yu went back to the house and took out the tent and gave it to Ji Xiang and others. Everyone split up. Rested. Lucky, Ruyi, and Lucky were on duty for the night, and the night was calm.

When it was almost dawn, Li Mei and Aunt He got up to make food. Ji Xiang and the others relaxed and fell down to rest for a while.

Everyone got up and had dinner. Li Mei and Aunt He carried a basket of pancakes into the car. Li Yu and Ji Xiang put the car on and rushed outside. Li Qing pulled Li Yu, and the two siblings looked at each other reluctantly for a while. After living in the small courtyard for more than half a year, I climbed into the mule cart and drove towards the entrance of the village.

The village chief was sitting on an ox cart, which was loaded with food and water. Sitting next to him were his two grandsons. Liu and Baozhen stood beside the cart with dark faces and looked at the two children in the cart.

Chen Yaohui and Chen Yaozu placed a wheelbarrow in front of their feet, while Li and Ma respectively carried some to salute.

The entrance to the village was already crowded with people, and everyone had their belongings at their feet. When they saw Li Yu and his convoy coming out, they all stood up, put the ropes on the carts around their shoulders, picked up the burdens, and got ready to set off. Prepare.

Seeing Li Yu's car approaching the front, Chen Baozhen muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why are you putting on such a big show and letting people from a village wait here?"

After hearing this, He Xiaoyu, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "Oh! It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."

Chen Baozhen pointed at He Xiaoyu angrily, "Who do you think is a dog-mouthed person?"

He Xiaoyu looked at her sideways, "Whoever it is should be that person."

Chen Baozhen raised her hand to hit He Xiaoyu, but Mrs. Liu grabbed her and pinched her, and whispered, "Little ancestor, please be more honest these days and don't make your father angry again."

Chen Baozhen curled her lips and looked at He Xiaoyu sideways, "I don't care about a flatterer like you."

He Xiaoyu snorted and curled her lips: "It sounds like someone is afraid of you."

The village chief climbed onto the bullock cart and shouted hoarsely to everyone: "Folks of Xishan Village, those who want to go out to escape the famine, we are leaving now!"

As soon as the village chief's voice fell, there was a cry at the entrance of the village. Everyone looked up at the place where they grew up and felt reluctant to leave.

The village chief looked at them and yelled, "Don't cry. God won't give us a way to survive. We can't wait here to die! Go out and try to find a way for the children to survive."

The adults shed tears, took the children with their luggage, and walked out of the village with sad faces.

Suddenly, a cry came from behind the team, "You conscienceless bitch, you are inciting my son to disown his own mother, and you are planning to leave me alone, an old man like me. The sky is thundering!" ····

Someone looked at her and said, "Isn't this Li Mei's mother-in-law? If you want to leave, let's go together! Why are you crying?"

"Look, there are brothers Liu Changmin and the others following behind us!"

Li Mei sat on the rafters of the car and looked at the mischievous Mrs. Liu behind her. She looked at Liu Changmin coldly and said, "You should take care of your mother yourself."

Mrs. Liu had already caught up with the ox cart, grabbed the ox rope, and shouted angrily at Liu Changmin: "Boss, you don't care about me and your brother, right?"

Liu Changmin looked at Mrs. Liu with an angry look on his face, "Mom, I asked you the day before yesterday if you could leave. You and your second and third brothers drove me out, and now you remember to ask me why you left earlier. "

Mrs. Liu grabbed the ox rope and stared at Li Mei's family, "We are leaving now. Please let Bao'er and his friends use the ox cart."

Liu Changmin jumped off the bullock cart and begged Mrs. Liu: "Mom! Can you please be reasonable? The bullock cart belongs to Xiaoyu's family. It also contains grain for you. Where can you put the grain?"

Mrs. Liu twisted her body and said unreasonably, "Then I don't care. If I don't give it to you, it would be unfilial. I will go to the Yamen to sue you."

Li Yu watched in front for a while, and seeing that Liu Changmin had no choice, he gave the reins to Zhou Jia, jumped out of the car, and walked up to Liu Changmin, "Uncle, I think you should stay and be filial! The ox cart is my family's treasure. Delaying our journey."

Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu, then at Li Mei and the two children in the car, squatted on the ground, held his head and said to Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, the car belongs to your family, you can take it away!"

Li Yu walked up to Mrs. Liu, looked at her and shouted: "Let go of your hand, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing that Li Yu was really going to drive away Liu Changmin, Mrs. Liu pointed at sisters Li Mei and Zhaodi and said arrogantly: "They are also members of my Liu family, and they have to follow me."

Li Yu pinched Mrs. Liu's wrist, and Mrs. Liu let go of the ox rope in pain. As soon as Li Yu climbed onto the ox cart, Mrs. Liu rushed over to catch Zhaodi.

Li Yu pointed at Mrs. Liu with a bullwhip, "They are also members of my Li family. You dare to lift a finger and look at them."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Li Yu and was stunned by the aura she exuded. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed to beat Liu Changmin. "You're useless, go get me the bullock cart."

Liu Changmin stood up slowly, looked at Mrs. Liu with his hair disheveled, and said in a hoarse voice with a disappointed look on his face: "Mom, are only the second and third brothers your sons? Why do I feel that I am not your biological one? Why? No, why can't you see me a little better? You let me down so much."

Li Mei jumped off the bullock cart and pulled Liu Changmin with her. She looked at Mrs. Liu coldly, "Let's go. If you want to sue, let her sue."

Liu Changmin didn't even look at Mrs. Liu, and silently followed Li Mei onto the bullock cart.

Mrs. Liu fell to the ground. Seeing the bullock cart slowly moving forward, she came to her senses and ran towards the back of the fleeing crowd.

He ran to the Liu brothers in a panic and looked at the second brother of the Liu family who was carrying something. The third brother said with a bitter face: "Third brother, mother can't get the ox cart. Should we go back or leave?"

Liu Laosan looked at her impatiently, "Hurry up and take your things away! You won't be able to catch up later."

The people who were fleeing behind looked at Mrs. Liu and her son with disdain and walked forward.
