Jiang Shan gasped for breath, called all the adults in the family into the house, and then closed the door.
The village chief frowned, "Boss, what happened? You are so panicked." Even the second child's face turned pale.
Jiang Shan swallowed, his voice trembling, "Dad, the city was destroyed by the refugees!"
"What?!" The village chief lost his voice.
"Here, where did you get the news?" His mother held Jiang Shan's arm tightly.
"We met Jiang Yue and Jiang Nian on the way to find out the news. They escaped from Fucheng and killed many refugees. They were covered in blood!"
Two groups of refugees also came to the village, but they were only four or five people, and they were collectively driven away by the villagers. The family thought that after hiding for several months, the refugee problem would be solved, so they wanted to go to the town or county to inquire about the news.
"Were they injured? Where are they now? Why didn't they come back with you?"
"No injuries. They said they were going east, but they didn't say where they went."
The village chief pursed his lips, even the city was broken. Next...
Jiang Shan said in succession, "Dad, let's think of a solution quickly! There are many people running out of Fucheng now. It's hard to tell whether they are common people or refugees. Maybe they will arrive in the town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and then come back to the village. Jiang Yue said those refugees are here Burning, killing and looting in the city..."
Several people exclaimed, "This, not only robbed things, but also killed people?!"
"Robbing food now is no different from killing people!" The village chief made up his mind and said solemnly to the back mountain, "Let's pack our things immediately and hide in the mountains tonight while the night is dark."
"Deep in the mountains?! Are there tigers and wolves in there! Old man, are you crazy?"
The village chief nodded at the women and children at home, with a solemn expression, "We only have one mule cart, what else can we carry after putting the children in it? We couldn't even walk far before we were overtaken!"
What's more, there are many women in the family, their feet are slow, their strength is weak, and they can't keep food.
Whose family did not flee together with the entire clan or village? However, there are many old, weak, women and children among the villagers in Jiangshan Village. Time was short, and he simply couldn't gather a few people who were willing and able to escape with him.
The village chief's wife wiped away her tears, nodded helplessly, and then quickly packed her things with her flustered daughters-in-law.
The focus is on food, food, drink, gold, silver, jewelry, bedding, pots and pans...
The night was thick, and the village chief's family was carrying things up the mountain in batches.
Finally, I had to remove the frame and stuff it into the cellar, and then quietly lead the mule up the mountain.
The village chief and his wife hugged the two youngest, holding the little tiger's head, and hid behind the big rocks in the front mountain, waiting for their sons and daughters-in-law to bring things up.
The night in the mountains is getting darker, and occasionally there are a few thin rustling sounds. When I looked up, my eyes were dazzled and I almost fainted from fright.
Hutou was scared, hugged his grandfather's thigh, and gently wiped his tears with his little hands. He didn't dare to cry because his father said that if someone found out, he would be captured and eaten.
The village chief's wife paced back and forth. She was anxious and did not dare to light a fire in the mountain. The fear of being discovered is one of them, and the fear of burning the mountain. In the hot summer season, the weather is dry and things are dry, making it easy to catch fire.
"Why aren't you here yet? These people are moving too slowly!"
"Milk, I'm so itchy."
"Come on, Tiger Head, come here and give me milk for you to scratch. Ouch, this mountain is full of poisonous mosquitoes, which is a pain for the baby. The tender meat attracts mosquitoes..."
While she was chanting, she was tickling the tiger's head, hoping that someone would come soon.
After another half an hour, several people came up. But listening to the movement, it seems that there are more than just people at home.
The village chief hugged the child tightly and looked back to see that it was Gu Yan's family.
Jiang Shan whispered, "We were discovered by Aunt Yan, so..."
The village chief stopped talking and said, "It's okay. It's safe in large numbers. Let's go up the mountain first."
Yangu's family can also endure hardships, and they didn't say a word when they entered a deep mountain pit for the first time.
By the time they reached the cave deep in the mountains, it was already late at night.
"It's too late to clean up. Let's just take a moment."
Regardless of whether it was dirty or not, I found a corner in the dark, sat down against the wall and squinted my eyes. Both adults and children were exhausted, and soon they started snoring.
When it got daylight, Jiang Shan opened his eyes and saw his father sitting wiping his tears, not sleeping at all.
He pursed his lips and said, "Dad, don't feel bad."
"I feel bad! After becoming the village chief, I only care about escaping for my own life. What will happen to the other people in the village?"
Aunt Yan also woke up and sighed when she heard this.
"Who else can you care about if you don't care about yourself? How many people can you take to escape alone? Many people are willing to stick to their own fields and refuse to move. You can't talk about those individuals until dawn, and you still have time to escape?"
Aunt Yan said, it’s great if you can take care of yourself!
She asked after getting up at night and seeing the village chief's house walking up the mountain. After getting the news, doesn't she only care about her own family? To be honest, she didn't even think of her parents' family.
The village chief stayed alone for a long time and thought about it. From now on, he will be the head of the family, Jiang Dashu, instead of the head of Jiangshan Village.
The village chief's neighbor found some of the most troublesome old ladies in the village early in the morning, and she had to take off the village chief's house. Let’s see how much food their family secretly stockpiled and didn’t distribute any of it to the village!
"Bang bang bang——"
"Open the door! Village chief!"
After they patted it for a few times, the door actually opened and was not fastened at all.
Several people rushed into the courtyard, but no one was there! They felt something was wrong, it was so quiet, even the mule cart was missing!
The quilt was missing from the house, and when he entered the stove room, the pots, pots, bowls and spoons were all gone!
Several people were shocked, the village chief's family ran away!
They frantically went from door to door to inform everyone, and they all gathered at the village chief's house. It was empty, with nothing left except the house.
Someone found a piece of paper stuck behind the courtyard door and quickly showed it to Jiang Sanhe. He recognized a few words.
Jiang Sanhe's face was dark, and he stared at a few words to identify, "It seems to be, "Liu, Min", "Danger". I only recognize these."
A lot of people are scratching their heads, what do you mean?
"Is it, 'Refugees kill people and are dangerous'?" someone speculated.
What? Are the refugees coming again? Still want to kill people? Everyone in the village was frightened.
