For half a day, everyone kept walking. Wang Keyue also specially observed the situation of the ten people in the Zhou family and found that these people were able to endure hardships.
Even the two little girls who looked petite and weak were able to persevere without even saying a word of hardship or tiredness.
Also, they are all children from poor families. They have been doing manual labor since they were young and survived the famine. They should be strong people in the first place.
The situation along the way was not optimistic. According to Zhou Fulai, their village was originally located around Beiping County. There was a severe drought this year and there was no harvest. The only well in the village was occupied by local officials. They had to go to fetch water. Spend money, 2 cents a bucket.
Later, when the well water was completely dry, I wanted to go elsewhere to ask for water. At this time, the county government actually started to recruit soldiers, saying that they were going to attack the Qiang and Hu people. Each household had a male. If there was no male, they would have to pay 500 yuan. Wen, from the age of 12 to the age of 60, children and the elderly are not spared.
"They are not recruiting soldiers, they are clearly recruiting lives!" Zhou Fulai finally sighed.
Fortunately, Zhoujia Village is located in a remote location. When Zhou Lizheng learned the news, he quickly organized everyone to discuss and finally decided to move away from Beiping County.
If he stayed in the village, without water or food, and would be bullied to death, he might as well move to the Qin Dynasty, so there might be a way to survive.
It's a pity that everyone had such a wonderful idea. When they walked out of the village, they discovered that the outside world was already full of hungry people, corpses everywhere, and floods of refugees.
There are even those beasts that have long lost their humanity, following them all the way, like a group of wild dogs waiting for an opportunity. When they are not paying attention, a few children will be missing from the team, and this is the beginning of their nightmare!
Along the way, Zhou Fulai told the story of what happened to his group during this period, while not forgetting to observe the surrounding terrain and give directions to the team.
The situation on the road is getting worse and worse. Countless refugees are dying of hunger and thirst. Of course, there are also some refugees who are still breathing a breath. On the roadside, they stretch out a pair of withered hands full of blood pimples and keep praying.
Looking at the hands covered with blood pimples, Wang Keyue's eyes were deep and her heart skipped a beat, as if she had a bad premonition.
The further they go, the more and more refugees appear in this situation.
Wang Keyue and his party did not dare to stay, let alone give out food. They had to take out the long knives in their hands to always be wary of attacks from these hungry refugees.
Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu were originally refugees who had been frightened by hunger. Of course, they knew the mentality of refugees very well.
They were both thankful and sympathetic. They were glad that they followed Young Master Wang, and they also sympathized with the refugees in front of them. However, in the face of life and death, these sympathies seemed insignificant and could disappear at any time. They could not harm the big guy because of their sympathy.
Because Wang Keyue's team was threatened by weapons, the refugees still had sense and were not crazy. They just followed Wang Keyue's team step by step. Slowly, more and more people followed.
Wang Keyue no longer dared to stay in the carriage. She rode on the horse and drew out the long knife in her hand.
On the way, she used both her eagle eye skills and her most powerful brain skills on herself.
At this moment, open your eagle eyes and take a quick look at the desolate land. The road is full of refugees who are crooked, lying on the ground, or staggering forward.
Further away, you can still see people running, as if some wild beast is chasing behind them. Open your eyes wide, but the distance is too far, and the rolling yellow sand fills the sky, blocking your field of vision.
Withdrawing her eagle eyes, Wang Keyue frowned. No matter what she just saw, she had to be prepared in advance.
Signal Red 1 and Orange 1 to let them go down and arrange for all personnel to be alert. There is an abnormal situation ahead.
In the blink of an eye, using eagle eyes again, Wang Keyue finally saw clearly.
Behind the refugees, there is a team of strangely dressed people chasing the refugees on horseback.
This group of people had pigtails all over their heads, wore animal skins, and wielded sickle-like weapons in their hands. Whenever they caught up with the refugees, they would raise their scimitars. After a while, a head would fall to the ground. The spray of blood frightened Wang Keyue, a person accustomed to seeing life and death in the apocalypse, followed by the anger of renunciation.
At this time, some of the refugees were sharp-eyed and well-informed, and they had already begun to flee for their lives.
The crowd that originally surrounded Wang Keyue and the others, when they learned that there was a foreign invasion and murder behind them, they could no longer care about hunger and thirst, and began to flee for their lives.
"Everyone, please pay attention. There are about 20 people on the other side, which is fewer than ours. If you don't want to die, just hold on to the long sword in your hands!" Wang Keyue began to give instructions.
"Red One, Orange One, bring your team members and raid from the other side." At this time, it was too late to make detailed strategic arrangements. In such a desert, there is no cover to hide, so now, we can only carry it on.
The Qiang and Hu tribes were fighting all the way, their eyes turned scarlet red, like wild beasts coming out of their cages, roaring and roaring. When they approached Wang Keyue's team, a beast-like instinct made them stop their horses.
