But precisely because of this, the crowd standing near them listened more carefully, secretly pricking up their ears so as not to miss a word.
Most of these people are hesitant. Now listening to the conversation between Shen Jun and Xue Xian, I just feel that the more I listen to it, the more sense it makes.
yes.
The bandits from Laozi are going to be beaten.
If this really happened, how would these people live? That's not just the fish on the cutting board that anyone can do with.
To take a step back, if it never rains again and this disaster year never ends, then they will have no chance of survival if they stay.
The more they thought about it, many people suddenly felt that Shen Jun and the others were right.
Anyway, it will be difficult to survive no matter what the situation is, so it is better to take this opportunity and leave with the large army.
Shen Jun added again deliberately, "Speaking of which, there shouldn't be many fools who would stay. After all, with such an easy choice, no one would choose to stay and endure hardship or even lose their lives, right?"
"definitely."
Xue Xian agreed with Shen Jun's words and also expressed his own opinion, "You can choose it with your eyes closed."
Shen Jun indeed said that on purpose. She noticed that many people were secretly listening to her words, so she simply added fuel to the fire.
Whether it's to analyze the pros and cons, or to stimulate strategies.
For many people, as long as someone makes a choice, there is a high probability that others will follow suit.
Listening to the conversation between Shen Jun and Xue Xian, many people were already shaken.
Some people also started to say, "I also plan to continue going south. There is really no hope of staying in Qingzhou."
"Do you also want to continue going south? Then let's go together."
"It just so happens that our three families might still be neighbors in the future."
Slowly, one family spread the infection, and many people gradually responded to this decision.
Soon, many people approached Ning Chongchen and expressed their willingness to continue southward with him.
But there are still some people who are ready to turn back.
The originally mighty force of nearly two hundred people was reduced again this time, back to about a hundred people, and fifty or sixty people were preparing to return to the county where they were born and raised.
This result was quite unexpected for Ning Chongchen. He thought he would leave half of them, but he didn't expect to leave these people in the end. It was much better than he thought.
Watching these dozens of people go back, the others took a rest and continued moving forward.
They were preparing to reach the village on the border of Qingzhou before sunset today.
…
The chaos caused by a few drops of rain once again returned to calm.
These people did not leave this time. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was very likely that they would accompany them to the final settlement.
Now we are not far from the starting point, and it is still possible to turn back.
Once you have gone far away, it is indeed difficult to come back.
"elder sister."
On the way to set off again, Shen Jun was startled by the small figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jing Ningxi held half a cold sweet potato in her hand and handed it to Shen Jun.
"Sister, please eat."
This half of a sweet potato is actually extremely small. If Shen Jun were to hold it, it would probably be as big as the middle of her palm.
But winning at times like this is really rare.
"Thank you, but no need."
Shen Jun refused without changing his expression, but some people nearby saw this and subconsciously swallowed their saliva, wishing that he was the one being invited.
In the past, few people would particularly want to eat this poor-quality sweet potato, especially since it looked so cold.
But now when I smell it, I feel it is inexplicably sweet, which makes me want to move my index finger.
Seeing Shen Jun's refusal, many people felt it was a pity and wished they were the one being invited to eat this sweet potato.
"Sister, don't you like sweet potatoes?"
Ning Jingxi said, "This one looks a bit ugly, but it still tastes good."
"No, I'm not hungry now, so you should keep it for yourself."
Ning Jingxi saw that Shen Jun really didn't want it, so she could only put away the small piece of sweet potato again and prepare to save it to eat later.
"Sister, I haven't seen you in the west of the city before." Ning Jingxi said with a smile, "Where did my sister live before?"
Shen Jun looked at her casually tied up hair, and did not answer her question. Instead, he curiously asked, "Who combed your hair? It's quite cute."
Ning Jingxi's attention was immediately attracted by Shen Jun's words.
"This is Xixi's hair that she tied herself."
Most of the people around her were boys, and their hair-tying skills were not as good as hers. Jing Ningxi started tying her hair early.
An Wan, who was next to her, heard their movements and looked back with a smile on her face, "Why are they tied like this?"
Jing Ningxi touched her hair, "Isn't it nice to tie it up?"
"No." An Wan smiled, "Why didn't you tie your hair half up? Did you do it yourself?"
"Um."
After hearing this, An Wan thought for a while and said, "Auntie, let me teach you a few simple hairstyles. You can do it yourself later."
"Really?" An Wan's eyes widened immediately. She looked at An Wan's bun. Although it didn't have any accessories, it looked prettier than anything she had seen before.
An Wan is willing to teach herself, and Ning Jingxi is looking forward to it and is very happy.
"Yeah, of course."
An Wan looked at Jing Jingxi and then at her daughter.
"Jun'er, let's learn from it together. Why is your hair getting weirder and weirder the more you comb it recently?"
An Wan used to be a young lady of the An family, and she was always served by ladies with specialized craftsmanship. When she got into the mood, she also learned a lot of bun styles.
However, after getting married, there were people to take care of her, and as a wife, she had to be prudent, so she seldom did the things she learned as a girl.
But now that she thought about it carefully, An Wan realized that she still remembered those things clearly.
Especially in the past two years, she mostly combed her hair by herself. Not only was she not rusty, but she was much better at it.
But then again.
An Wan looked at Shen Jun. Her daughter seemed to be paying less and less attention to these things recently.
"Mom, we are running away from home. We just tie up our hair casually. How can we be in the mood to do this? I can wash up quickly."
If the times hadn't allowed it, Shen Jun would have just cut off his long hair, and it would have been easy.
Hearing this, An Wan sighed, "That's the same reason."
Nowadays, it is really impossible to dress up properly under these conditions.
However, Jing Jingxi was willing to learn, and An Wan was very interested in making an appointment with her to teach her at the next rest point.
"Okay." Jing Ningxi was excited, "I'll come back to see my sister and aunt later."
