Chapter 62 62 Departure

   Zhou Bo took three things that could not be taken away with auspiciousness, good luck, and lucky luck, and hid them in the cellar. After covering the cellar, he moved the grain and water to the cart, tied them up, and covered them with oil cloth.

After Zhou Jia worshipped his grandfather and mother in the small ancestral hall, he put the tablets of his grandfather and mother into a box, carried them into the wooden box in the carriage, and said to Li Qing, who was waiting there, "Aqing, go to the study room. , there is the homework I prepared for you on the desk, you take it with you."

   "Yes, sir." Li Qing Ying went down and ran towards the study.

   Aunt He came out of the stove with a bag of food and put it in the car, "Master, I put all the food in the car, remember to take it out and eat it!"

   Zhou Jia nodded, "Understood, is your car also ready to eat?"

   "It's ready, I'm going to take out the water bladder." Aunt He turned and walked towards the kitchen.

  Li Qing came out of the study with a big bag on his back. Uncle Zhou also packed up the salute and came over to help Zhou Jia sort it out, "Master, the salute is all packed, let's go!"

   Zhou Jia nodded and led Li Qing to the outside of the house. Three large green mule carts and an ox cart slowly walked towards Li Yu's house.

  Li Yu and Liu Changmin carried the wheat to the car, while Li Mei hung the rolled noodles on a bamboo pole in the stove. Two braziers were lit under the bamboo poles, and the noodles were baked.

  A mule cart was loaded with mats, bedding, food and water, and the ox cart was full of grain and fodder.

  Li Yu took out a dagger and handed it to Liu Changmin, "Uncle, this is for your self-defense."

   Liu Changmin stared at the dagger for a moment before he took it. Li Yu pointed to his calf and said, "Find a cloth strap to tie the knife cover to your leg, so it's easier to take it out."

  Liu Changmin nodded and took the cloth with heavy steps.

   Zhou Jia and Li Qing took people back to Li's house. The yard of Li Yu's house was full of mule carts. Everyone unloaded the carts and led the animals to tie them in the backyard.

The two families saw Li Zhoujia holding Li Yu aside, rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the sleeve arrow on his arm, and asked Li Yu worriedly, "Xiaoyu, where did you buy this thing? Are there many people who know this thing? ?"

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, "I bought it at the blacksmith shop in the town. I bought a hand crossbow and three sleeve arrows. The hand crossbow is fifty taels, and the sleeve arrows cost thirty taels of silver!"

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were snatched by a thief! Thirty taels are not expensive, and you may not be able to buy this kind of thing with money."

  Li Yu secretly laughed in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled, "Alas! I knew I should have bought two more."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's expression and felt that something was wrong, Jixiang ran over and said to the two: "Master, Miss Li, the village chief Chen is here."

   "Okay." Li Yu and Zhou Jia went back to the yard and saw the village chief standing in front of the mule cart looking at the tarpaulin covered on the carriage, Li Yu stepped forward, "Village Chief Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me?"

The village chief looked at Li Yu and Zhou Jia, and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, it was originally agreed that fifteen families would go together, but today another dozen families came, and this time there were nearly three. There are ten families, I just came to tell you."

   Zhou Jia smiled lightly, "Cun Chief Chen is fine, everyone is from the village, and we take care of each other when we walk together."

   The village chief breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said to the two with a smile: "That's good, everyone should be alert when they go to bed at night, I'm afraid these bandits will come again."

Zhou Jia thought for a moment, "Cun Chief Chen, I think they may be coming for my house and Xu's house, but I think you should tell the villagers, just in case, you'd better get everyone together tonight. Let's go together tomorrow morning."

   "Okay, I'll go back and tell everyone, let them all live in the ancestral hall."

Li Yu and Zhou Jia sent off the village chief, Li Mei and Aunt He cooked the food, everyone closed the stove door and ate in the stove, Li Yu went back to the house and took out the tent and gave it to the auspicious couple, everyone parted ways took a break. Auspiciousness, Ruyi, and Lucky Fortune are on duty at night, and the night is calm.

  When it was almost dawn, Li Mei and Aunt He got up to eat, and Jixiang and the others were relieved and fell down to rest for a while.

Everyone got up and had dinner. Li Mei and Aunt He carried a basket of cakes into the car. Li Yu and Jixiang put the car on and drove outside the house. Li Qing pulled Li Yu, and the siblings watched reluctantly for a while. After living in the small courtyard for more than half a year, he climbed into the mule cart and drove towards the entrance of the village.

  The village chief was sitting on an ox cart, which was loaded with food and water, and two little grandsons sat beside him. Liu Shi and Baozhen stood beside the cart with dark faces and looked at the two children in the cart.

  Chen Yaohui and Chen Yaozu had a unicycle in front of them, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma were carrying some salutes.

The entrance to the village was already crowded with people, and everyone had their belongings at their feet. When they saw Li Yu and his team coming out, they all stood up and put the rope on the trolley over their shoulders, lifted the burden, and were ready to go. Prepare.

   Seeing Li Yu and the others approaching the front of their car, Chen Baozhen muttered in dissatisfaction, "What is it, putting on such a big shelf to let people from a village stand here."

   He Xiaoyu, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "Alas! It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory."

  Chen Baozhen angrily pointed at He Xiaoyu, "Who are you calling a dog's mouth?"

   He Xiaoyu squinted at her, "Whoever should be who should be."

  Chen Baozhen raised her hand and wanted to hit He Xiaoyu, but Liu shi grabbed her and twisted her, and whispered, "Little Ancestor, be honest these days, don't make your father angry again."

  Chen Baozhen pouted and looked at He Xiaoyu sideways, "This girl doesn't care about a flatterer like you."

  He Xiaoyu hummed and pouted: "It's like someone is afraid of you."

  The village chief climbed onto the ox cart and shouted hoarsely to everyone: "Folks of Xishan Village, those who want to go out and escape, let's go!"

   As soon as the village chief's voice fell, there was a burst of weeping at the entrance of the village, and everyone looked up at the place where they had lived since childhood.

  The village chief looked at them and roared, "Don't cry, God doesn't give us a way to live, we can't wait to die here! Go out and make a way for the children to come out."

  The adults were in tears, took the children with their luggage, and walked out of the village with sad faces.

Suddenly, a cry rang out from behind the team, "You **** with a heartless conscience, you are making my son not even recognize his own mother, and you are going to leave me as an immortal and leave me alone. ・・・

   Someone looked at it and said, "Isn't this Li Mei's mother-in-law? Let's go together if you want to go! Why are you crying?"

   "Look at the brothers Liu Changmin and the others behind them!"

  Li Mei sat on the car rafter and looked at Mrs. Liu who was splashing behind her, and looked at Liu Changmin coldly, "Your mother, take care of yourself."

   Mrs. Liu had already caught up with the ox cart, grabbed the rope and shouted angrily to Liu Changmin: "Boss, you don't care about the old lady and your brother, right?"

Liu Changmin looked at Madam Liu with a look of anger, "Mother, I went to ask you the day before yesterday if you were going to leave, you and the second and third brothers drove me out, and now you just remembered and asked me why you left. "

   Mrs. Liu grabbed the ox rope and stared at Li Mei's family, "We're leaving now, you give the ox cart to Baoer and the others."

  Liu Changmin jumped off the ox cart and begged to Mrs. Liu: "Mother! Can you tell me some truth? The ox cart belongs to Xiaoyu's family, and it still contains grain for you. Where can I put the grain?"

   Mrs. Liu twisted her body and was unreasonable, "Then I don't care. If you don't give it to you, it is unfilial. I will go to the yamen to sue you."

Li Yu looked in front of him for a while, and seeing that Liu Changmin had no choice, he handed the reins to Zhou Jia, jumped out of the car, and walked in front of Liu Changmin, "Uncle, I think you should stay and do your filial piety! The ox cart is my family's farewell. Delay our journey."

  Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu, then looked at Li Mei and the two children in the car, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and said to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, the car is yours, take it away!"

  Li Yu walked up to Mrs. Liu, looked at her and shouted, "Let go of your hand, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

   Mrs. Liu saw that Li Yu was really going to drive away Liu Changmin, pointed at the sisters Li Mei and Zhao Di, and said arrogantly: "They are also members of my Liu family, and they have to follow me too."

  Li Yu pinched Madam Liu's wrist, Madam Liu let go of the ox rope in pain, Li Yu just climbed into the ox cart, and Madam Liu was about to rush over to catch Zhao Di.

  Li Yu pointed at Madam Liu with the bullwhip, "They are also from my Li family, you dare to move a finger to see."

   Mrs. Liu glanced at Li Yu and was stunned by the aura she exuded. She was stunned for a moment, then turned and rushed over to tear up Liu Changmin, "Useless things, go get me the bullock cart."

Liu Changmin stood up slowly, looked at Mrs. Liu with his hair loose, and said in a hoarse voice with disappointment: "Mother, is it only your second and third brothers who are your sons? Why do I think I'm not your biological son? Why can't you see me a little better? You're so disappointing to me."

   Li Mei jumped off the ox cart and pulled Liu Changmin, looked at Mrs. Liu coldly, "Go, if you want to sue, let her sue."

   Liu Changmin didn't even look at Mrs. Liu, and silently followed Li Mei to the bullock cart.

   Mrs. Liu fell to the ground and saw that the ox cart was slowly moving forward before she recovered and ran to the back of the fleeing crowd.

   rushed to the Liu brothers in a panic, looking at the second Liu family who was carrying something, the third one said with a bitter face: "The third one, mother can't get the ox cart, should we go back or leave?"

  Liu Laosan looked at her impatiently, "Hurry up and take your things away! You won't be able to catch up later."

   The people who were fleeing behind, looked at Madam Liu and her son with contempt, and walked forward.
