"Chief Tian, ​​let's not crowd here. Let's find a place to settle down first, and then try to cross the river." Shen Yunxi thought tears were the most useless thing.

Chief Tamura wiped his tears and nodded: "Yes, even if we are trapped here, the officers and soldiers will not let us pass. It is better to seize the best water source as soon as possible, rest for a while, and then think of a solution."

Yang Dacui hugged her mother-in-law and comforted her in a low voice, optimistic and hopeful, "Mom, we have always been blessed by God. This time we can cross the river."

Mrs. Tian has gray hair and sunken eyes. Others only see that she cannot cross the river or go south, but she wants to take another step.

Mrs. Tian was very worried. She sighed and said: "It takes so much money to cross the river, and where do people who have escaped famine get so much silver? I'm afraid the people over there don't want us who have escaped famine to pass, so We intentionally set a checkpoint.

Besides, it is also possible that the government colludes with those bandits to surround us here and arrest us. Anyway, this is not a good thing. We must prepare for the worst as soon as possible!"

Shen Yunxi was a little stunned after hearing what Mrs. Tian said. She and Mrs. Tian had the same worries.

It is true that people get older and mature.

Mrs. Tian is illiterate, but she is older, experienced, smart and good at thinking, so now she can see the deeper side of things.

After listening to his mother's words, Chief Tamura's face changed drastically. "If you can't cross the river and go back, you will encounter those bandits. No matter what, they are all dead."

When others heard this, they became even more sad.

Mrs. Tian saw that even her son, who had always been strong, was starting to worry, and no one else had a good solution. Suddenly, she saw Shen Yunxi's face was serious, but she was not panicked.

Thinking of Shen Yunxi's recent actions, Mrs. Tian thought for a while and asked Shen Yunxi: "Youqing, you know so much, do you have any good ideas?"

When Shen Yunxi saw Mrs. Tian asking her, she was a little stunned. Now is not the time to hide. "Grandma, our hometown is still experiencing a severe drought. It is estimated that there will be a locust plague next year. Even if we can escape the bandits , there is nothing we can do when we return to our hometown.

It was obvious that the South wasn't going to let us pass now. After all, it could have bought a boat for a buck or two. Those were rich people, not poor people fleeing famine.

Now we have only two ways. One is to cross the river and continue to escape the famine in the south as before. But even if we go to the south this time, the officials and people in the south are not willing to help us.

Another way is to cross the river and find a place with lush trees and lush aquatic plants to settle on the north bank of the river.

I have been paying close attention to the situation around me these days. The climate is close to the south, with lush trees and numerous rivers. Let us open up wasteland and build houses. In summer, hunting in the woods and fishing in the Qingmei River can always fill our stomachs."

Chief Tamura was stunned and retorted dryly: "We are not afraid of hardship, we are just afraid that the bandits will chase us and attack us."

Shen Yunxi explained: "Then we have to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We need to dig traps outside. The young people in the village practice archery and hunting. By the way, I saw poison near here. If it If the arrows get on the skin and pierce the skin, we will die. If the robbers come here, we will fight them."

Shen Yunxi thought for a while and didn't know what to do after crossing the river. He might as well find a place to settle down.

At this time, Village Chief Zhang of Houlihua Village and Village Chief Mengzhuang came and sighed: "Brother Tian, ​​we can't get through. I just heard that the government will issue guidelines after I send money for a boat." stamped before.

Some people had no money and swam across the river. Unfortunately, some people were shot directly by officials and washed away by the ferocious Qingmei River. Even if some people were lucky enough to cross the river, they would be arrested and sent to Mine work, because there is no section on crossing rivers in the road guide. A mine is not a good place. Once you are in, you can never get out."

Village Chief Zhang has always been arrogant. After all, there are four to five hundred men, women, and children in Houlihua Village, and there are 1,200 young people. But since the robbers robbed the village last night, more than half of the people in the village have been lost. There were less than two hundred people inside.

Now that I can't cross the river, I want to come over and discuss with the village chief how to deal with it.

On the way, they met Village Chief Meng. They greeted each other and sighed before finding Village Chief Tian.
