The people from Majiagou, led by the village chief, ran towards Li Yu's motorcade, carrying their luggage and pulling their children.

Agui pointed at the carriage passing through the woods and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and follow them, they are about to come out of the woods."

A group of people ran out of breath, but still failed to catch up with the carriage. They watched Li Yu and his team go through the woods and move forward.

"Ouch! I'm so exhausted." The woman who just cried sat down on the ground and slapped her legs, "How can two legs catch up with four! You go! I can't run anymore. "

The village chief saw the old woman's scoundrel look and became very angry. He pointed at the old woman and shouted: "Mrs. Qin, you can't even keep up with a child. If you don't want to go, okay, let's go. Let her be alone in the woods." Feed the wolves."

The village chief angrily led the villagers in pursuit in the direction of the carriage. Mrs. Qin got up, picked up the bamboo pole and ran after the village chief like a rabbit.

When it was getting dark, Li Yu and his team set up a tent outside a village and stayed.

Xiaoyu and Yang Wei also ran to a nearby villager's house and bought some fruits and vegetables. Yang Wei ran to Li Yu with a basket of cucumbers, peaches, and plums, pointed at the fruits in the basket, and said happily: " Madam, you see there are crispy peaches that you like the most. The grandma of that family said that her peaches are crispy and sweet. I climbed up the tree to pick them. Please try them."

"Thank you, Ah Wei," Li Yu smiled, took two peaches from the bamboo basket, and said to Yang Wei, "Okay, give the others to Mr. Qian and others."

After everyone had a meal, they arranged for the manpower to be on duty at night. After a simple wash, they went into the tent to rest. Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and said with some relief: "It seems that the drought is over. I remember the last time we Passing here, the road to the entrance of the village was blocked, and all the villagers looked sad. When I saw them this time, I felt that the sadness on their faces had faded a lot."

Li Yu said softly: "Actually, the common people's request is very simple. They just want the government to exploit and oppress less, so that they can support their families safely, and they will be happy."

Zhou Jia sighed: "Why not! But some people just can't satisfy their desires."

Ruyi and Tiezhu sat by the fire. Tiezhu pulled out a few pieces of taro from the fire and handed it to Ruyi, "Brother Ruyi, come and eat the roasted taro."

Ruyi pointed to the front and said: "Tie Zhu, look, are those the robbers we met in the woods during the day?"

Tie Zhu stared at the group of people coming over with their families, pointed at the round-faced man, and said in surprise: "Brother Ruyi, it's them. Look at the round-faced man in front of you. He is the man who blocked the road during the day and robbed you. What are they trying to do after chasing you? Do you want to rob me?"

Ruyi shook his head and said, "It looks like they want to follow us."

The village chief looked at the tent in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. He had driven everyone all the way in vain, and finally caught up. The village chief pointed to the place where Li Yu and his tents had been, and said, "Everyone, go and stay there tomorrow." I'll set off early in the morning, and Aqiang and I will go find the little brother to talk to him."

The round-faced Aqiang glanced at Ruyi in fear, "Uncle, please let Agui accompany you! I'm afraid."

"Useless boy." The village chief pulled Aqiang away, and the two came to Ruyi's fire. The village chief bent down and said to Xiaoyi with a smile: "This little brother, the old man is polite."

Ruyi glanced at Aqiang, who was huddled behind the village chief, stood up and saluted, "Old man, what do you want?"

The village chief looked at Ruyi and said with shame: "Brother, what happened during the day was our fault, but this is really the first time we have done such a shameful thing. I know that no matter how many excuses I make, it is our fault. I I have a heartfelt request, please tell me about it."

Ruyi looked at the village chief's tired appearance, pointed at the stone and said, "Sit down and let me listen."

"Thank you, little brother." Aqiang helped the village chief sit on the stone. The village chief looked at Ruyi and sighed: "The old man is from Majiagou, Qinghua County, Qingzhou City. His name is Ma Zecheng, who is the village chief of Majiagou. The drought has not Once in a while we were robbed by bandits. I escaped with more than 20 households in the ditch, and it was going well at first, alas!"

The village chief wiped his tears, "When I fled to Qingfengling, the bandits on the mountain robbed everything and killed more than a dozen people. The old man took the remaining people and begged along the road. When they arrived in Qixian County, they were there. They were looking for work in the city. During the day, everyone went out to find work, and at night they lived in a broken temple. The old man went to the county government several times to register for a new household registration, but had no money to do so. Until he was driven out of the city a few days ago, everyone started to get up. With bad intentions, I found that forest and wanted to grab some money to register my household registration. The first time they took action, they found you. Knowing that you also wanted to cross Qingfeng Ridge, we followed you."

After hearing what Old Man Ma said, Ruyi felt that Old Man Ma and the others must have fled earlier. When they fled to Qi County, the city gates in Qi County were closed.

Ruyi picked up a piece of taro and handed it to the village chief: "What are your plans now, Mr. Ma?"

Village Chief Ma took the taro and looked at Ruyi with a flattering smile: "The old man wants to lead everyone to follow your master's motorcade and return home through Qingfengling."

Ruyi nodded cheerfully: "Okay, I will tell my young master early tomorrow morning. After the young master speaks, I will go find you."

Seeing that Ruyi readily agreed, Village Chief Ma breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed, "Thank you, little brother. I won't disturb you anymore."

Ruyi watched Aqiang support old man Ma and went to the place where the people in Majiagou lived. He heard Tie Zhu sigh and said: "Brother Ruyi, will the young master and madam agree with them to follow? When I fled with my parents, , some of the people who escaped from famine died of starvation, some were killed by bandits, and some managed to escape to Tongzhou and died of illness. My father said that our family is quite lucky and we are still reunited. Yes, there are many more orphans like Ah Wei and Ah Lei in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture!"

Ruyi patted Tiezhu and said, "Don't worry, I will ask the young master tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Ruyi told Zhou Jia that Old Man Ma came to see her. After hearing this, Zhou Jia said: "Go and tell them that they can follow us. We have to rush to Qingchuan and ask them to go as fast as possible." a little."

Ruyi smiled and said: "I knew the young master would agree to them. I will tell Old Man Ma right away."

Half a month later, Ma Laohan and others followed Li Yu and his convoy and safely passed Qingfeng Ridge, crossed Yunjian Peak, and arrived at Qingshui Town. Ruyi got out of the car and said to them: "Old man, we are going to Xishan Village to visit , you can leave first, we will chase you."

Old Man Ma smiled and said, "So you guys escaped from Qingshui Town! You should go back and have a look, so we'll take the first step."
