Chapter 122 Being targeted
Chapter 122 Being targeted
Most of the people who passed by the banyan tree were in rags and skinny. They looked like people who were starving and had no food to eat.
They saw Yu Qingqing and her family sitting next to a fire. Although they were also very thin, they had food to eat.
Those people immediately had some ideas in their minds, but they did not dare to step forward rashly for the time being.
Yu Qingqing had just finished the last bite of the pancake. When she turned around, she saw a group of people not far from the big banyan tree, staring at their house. She immediately felt something was wrong.
She quickly collected the uneaten biscuits from others and quietly threw them into the space.
"Dad, Mom, something's wrong! We can't eat anymore.
You see, those people next to us are staring at us. When we go on the road later, we must pay attention to those people.
Keep a distance from them, and if you encounter them, don't panic in case of emergencies. When we leave later, find a stick in your hand.
Yu Qingqing finished her words quickly, then put out the fire, which had not been burned out, by using a stick to push it apart and extinguish it.
"Qing'er, don't worry! Daddy is here, don't be afraid.
You guys can walk ahead and we can walk behind. It's okay. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave right away.
After hearing what Yu Qingqing said, Yu Qingshu turned around and looked back, and found more than a dozen people not far away.
He was looking at them there, as if he wanted to go forward but didn't want to.
Yu Qingshu was also worried that those people would rush up directly, so he quickly asked his wife and children to leave here.
"Husband, there won't be any problem, I see those people are still there and won't leave.
It feels like they are watching us, nothing will happen, right?"
Hua Qinglu was frightened by what Yu Qingshu and Yu Qingqing said. She didn't dare to look back, for she was really afraid that they would rush over.
She kept thinking, if it really came, what should she do? She was a little scared.
"Mom, it's okay, don't be afraid! Nothing will happen! Those people won't come up. Let's listen to Dad and go first. Don't worry, we can just walk normally."
Yu Qingmei, with a hint of fear in her voice, gently comforted Hua Qinglu.
Although she was also very scared in her heart, she couldn't show it, otherwise Hua Qinglu would be even more scared.
"Mom, sister, hurry up! Dad and I will walk behind you, don't worry, those people won't rush over.
We have nothing in our hands right now, not even food. Even if they see it, they won’t be able to tell what’s there.”
Yu Qinghai saw the worry in his mother and sister's eyes and began to comfort them.
He made up his mind that he would protect his family at all costs and would never let them come to harm.
Besides, they didn't have anything in their hands, and those people couldn't see anything, so they probably wouldn't rush up rashly.
Yu Qinghai was right. When that group of people looked at Yu Qingqing, they realized that none of their family had anything in their hands.
I stopped thinking about them and they started walking forward again.
Yu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that those people had left.
It was really dangerous just now. If they continued eating, it would definitely attract those people to snatch the food.
Neither myself nor Xiaohai can protect our family.
It seems that I really need to be careful in the future and not eat casually.
“Dad, since those people have left, let’s go too.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is better to leave early and go to more crowded places in town.
We are being randomly targeted, so let’s go over there and see what happens.
We don’t know what the situation is in the town, and we are refugees, so we don’t know whether the town will let us in.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t get in, I’m not in a hurry to get what I want, I’ll find a way later.”
Yu Qingqing saw those people leaving, and then she also felt that they should leave earlier.
When she saw Hua Qinglu's worried expression just now, she felt very anxious as well.
Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
Soon the fire next to the big banyan tree was almost extinguished.
Yu Qingshu checked the fire and found that there was no spark left before setting off.
After all, the weather is so hot now. If you leave fires randomly, everywhere will become a sea of fire if you are not careful.
They will be the ones in danger then, so it is better to be cautious.
Yu Qingqing and his family began their busy life on the road. Fortunately, it was early and not too hot so they could walk faster.
Wait until the weather gets too hot and then take a rest. The roads here are still relatively easy to walk on now.
Although there are some potholes on the road, it is still clean and not difficult to walk on.
"Qing'er, the thing you just mentioned requires something to grind wheat. Dad, can you try to make one?
I think we shouldn't go to the town. I looked at the map and it seems a bit too far to go through the town.
We will walk longer and now it is possible to save time.
Just save time and don't go there, is that ok? Dad, I'll make one for you later."
Yu Qingshu told Yu Qingqing about his thoughts.
He looked at the map and realized that if he took a detour through the town, it would take time.
After all, after what happened just now, he felt that he could be on the road. It would take less time and he didn't need to be so anxious.
"I see, Dad. I'm not in a hurry to use it. I'll find a way later. Any tool that can grind it into powder will do.
We can grind it at night, and then we will have wheat bread to eat.
Mainly because I often eat this brown rice cake, I feel like my digestion is not good at all."
Yu Qingqing expressed her understanding of Yu Qingshu's thoughts, and she was indeed not in a hurry at the moment.
"Okay, I got it! Then Dad, please keep an eye out in the back. If there's anything suitable, I'll take a look and try to see if I can make it. Don't worry."
When Yu Qingshu heard Yu Qingqing's words, he smiled naively and continued walking forward.
Not far from them, there was a carriage parked on the side of the road.
The carriage was quite small, with only one driver on board. The carriage looked quite old and tattered.
Such a carriage probably wouldn't attract the jealousy of others, so it could remain here safely.
Yu Qingshu and the others saw the carriage and were about to go around it. But before he could go around the carriage, a familiar voice came from above.
"Yu Qingshu, is it really you? You are here too. Are you guys going to Dongyu too?
We have a carriage. Would you like to come with us? Are you going on foot? How long will it take?"
This person was none other than Yu Qingshu’s older brother Yu Qingshan, who was 38 years old when he lived in the provincial capital.
