Chapter 59 Continue to Binzhou
"Ah."

After taking the bundle, Wei Chengyi flew away again. It was quarter of an hour later when he came back. He had delivered the whole bundle of steamed buns.

"We can't be trapped here. We must rush to Binzhou as soon as possible."

As Shen Xiangwan spoke, she loosened the sling, took the child off and handed him over: "Be good, An Ge'er. Auntie has something to do. Can I let Second Uncle take you to Younger Uncle's place?"

"it is good."

The well-fed little cub nodded obediently and stretched out his hand to Wei Chengyi.

"What are you going to do?"

After picking up the child, Wei Chengyi did not leave immediately, but asked in confusion.

"What else can we do? First of all, we have to go to the ground."

Glancing at him unhappily, Shen Xiangwan climbed to the top of the tree, broke off a few dry branches, tore into pieces the coarse linen clothes issued by the escorts, tied a few branches together, wrapped the front end with rags, took out some alcohol and sprayed it on them, and finally took out a fire starter to light them.

"boom!"

The simple torch caught fire instantly, and Shen Xiangwan climbed down from the tree with it. Driven away by the torch, snakes, insects, rats and ants either retreated automatically or were roasted into charred corpses.

"bump!"

After he was able to find a foothold, Shen Xiangwan jumped to the ground and immediately took out insect repellent powder and sprinkled it on the ground. The snakes, insects, rats and ants all over the ground quickly scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemies.

"Late night."

After a moment, Wei Chengyi landed beside her again, took the medicine bottle from her hand, and helped to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Let mother and the others come down first, and we will go find the police together."

"it is good."

Reaching out and holding her hand, Wei Chengyi held her hand with one hand and held the medicine bottle with the other, sprinkling medicine powder along the way.

Ok?
Looking at her hand that was suddenly held, Shen Xiangwan's eyes were filled with excitement. When she found that Wei Chengyi's ears were slightly red, a hint of interest appeared at the corners of her lips, and at the same time, she moved her little hand to hold his hand.

Wei Chengyi's tall body stiffened noticeably when he noticed her little movement, and then quickly relaxed again. However, his ears were already red as if he had a fever.

Neither of them exposed the ambiguity. After picking up Zhao Yuping and the others, the family relied on the help of medicine powder to walk among the snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground. Along the way, many people cried and shouted for them to help. They also wanted to come down from the tree, but Shen Xiangwan ignored them. The couple took their family to the tree where Zhao Shan was.

"Thank you. Fortunately you have the powder."

After coming down from the tree, Zhao Shan was unusually polite.

"Here is the remaining powder. Let the officers gather the others. I guess you are out of dry food. We must leave here."

Without wasting time talking to him, Shen Xiangwan took out several large bottles of medicine powder and handed them to them. These were all smuggled out by her from the space. Fortunately, she had foresight and had simply prepared some common medicines when she returned to the space a few days ago, and asked No. 1 to pack them in porcelain bottles or earthenware jars of this era.

"Ah."

After taking the medicine bottle, Zhao Shan did not hesitate and distributed it to the brothers who came one after another. They were indeed out of food. The beast tide last night washed away everything. Only the bag he always carried with him was left. In it, apart from his own money and other personal belongings, there were official documents and lists, which were things that must not be lost.

After experiencing the earthquake and the beast tide, the team of hundreds of people was reduced by nearly half. After the escorts rescued the remaining people, Zhao Shan simply counted the death toll. Yes, the death toll. The injured basically all died in last night's beast tide.

"What? Still leaving?"

“Wow, wow, wow… I’m scared…”

"What if there's another earth dragon ahead?" "Rocks can roll down the mountain at any time. If I keep going forward, won't that mean I'm going to die?"

Hearing the escorts urging them to continue on their way, the hungry people started chattering. Some even couldn't help crying loudly. Suddenly, so many of their loved ones were gone, and there were not even any corpses left. They were scared, they were really scared.

"Shut up!"

A voice mixed with internal force suddenly sounded, hitting their eardrums fiercely. The noise finally faded away. Zhao Shan said in a cold voice, "Our ox cart has been destroyed by the beast tide, and the dry food on it is gone. If you don't want to starve to death, just follow us obediently. Of course, if you want to stay, we won't stop you."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Shan turned around and strode away. The other escorts did not bother to talk nonsense with them and followed his footsteps. Not only the exiles but also the escorts died yesterday. However, because they were not a burden and were all strong men, the death toll was not that high.

"Let's go."

After glancing at the others, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi followed with their families.

Seeing them going further and further away, everyone looked at each other and had to keep up with them, crying. Without water and dry food, they would soon die of thirst and hunger. They had no other choice but to keep up with the escorts.

This road is the only land route leading to Binzhou. There are mountains in front and behind for dozens of miles and it is deserted. Yesterday's earthquake was very strong and the road ahead was basically blocked by collapsed mountains. They could only climb up and down continuously and had to be careful of aftershocks or rocks falling from the mountains at all times. In just two hours, several people were injured or killed.

"Sir, let's take a break. We can't walk any more."

At noon, they were all tired and hungry, but they had only walked about twenty miles. There was still nearly thirty miles to go. Looking at the completely impassable road from afar, some people could not help but collapse on the ground.

"If you want to die, stay."

They are not the only ones who are tired.
The escorts were too lazy to even swing their whips. From morning till now, they had only eaten a steamed bun that Shen Xiangwan had distributed to them two quarters of an hour ago. If they could not reach Binzhou today, they would only be more tired and hungrier.

Those who collapsed on the ground had to get up, and the others could only grit their teeth and support each other.

"Jing, Jingluan, I really can't walk anymore, one of you can carry me."

At the end of the team, Sun pulled her son and asked breathlessly.

"Mom, stop kidding. How could we still have the strength to carry you at this time?"

Wei Jingluan refused without a second thought. Wei Jinghong, who was carrying his youngest son on his back, also said, "Mom, please hold on a little longer. We can't even walk by ourselves, so how can we carry you?"

"I...you two unfilial sons, if I could insist, I would still say nothing to you!"

No matter how good the upbringing is, it cannot withstand the situation where the two sons only care about themselves. Besides, she herself did not have a very good upbringing. Sun was so angry that she started cursing.

"You still have the energy to curse, why can't you walk?"

"That's right. If you really want someone to carry you, then go find Wei Chengyi. He is a martial arts expert and must have some strength left."

Wei Jingluan retorted to her without thinking, and Wei Jinghong quickly agreed. The two brothers both looked towards the front of the team with sinister expressions. Since they set out, Wei Chengyi and the others had been walking in the front with Zhao Shan, and their figures were almost invisible.

"You...you guys..."

Sun was so angry at them that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached. At the same time, she couldn't help but think about looking for Wei Chengyi again. Unfortunately, when she raised her head and looked forward, she only felt waves of despair. If she had the strength to catch up with him, she would not have asked her two sons to carry him.

In the middle of the team, the people of the Shen family also had the same conflict. The difference was that Shen Xiangdong had a change of heart and was carrying his daughter on his back, but after Shen Xiangyue sprained her ankle and cried out in pain, he chose to leave his daughter behind and carry her on his back. Wang Wan'er was so angry that she rushed over and scratched her, but was pushed to the ground by Shen Xiangdong in annoyance, making the scene extremely ugly.
