Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 195 Encounter

"There's a fire! Hurry, everyone, come over to help." Someone suddenly shouted, and the villagers in the drying yard also started arguing. All the people in the village were awake at this time.

Fires were everywhere. In early autumn, there was dry grass everywhere, so once a fire started, it was hard to put out. Several families in this village lived some distance apart, but several of them were on fire.

"What's going on? How did the fire start?" The tourist was woken up from his sleep and heard the fire. He was furious.

"Go put out the fire now. What are you standing there for? Go put out the fire now."

Seeing their master getting angry, everyone was scared and ran to put out the fire.

"Okay, we can go now. Let's get out of here as soon as possible." Seeing that the situation was already chaotic, Bourne let the people leave.

But somehow, they all stood still.

"What's wrong with you? If not now, when will you escape?"

"Sir, this is our home. Where can we go if we leave?" The villagers wanted to leave at first, but when they really wanted to leave, they found that this was their home and there was nowhere to go.

Bao En also understood a little bit. If he didn't leave now, he would not be able to stay here in the future. The war would break out soon. When the two armies fought, the people here would have to flee as well. It would be better to flee now.

"Forget it. Just follow us. Let's go north. You know Yingzhou Prefecture? A good prefect has come there and is now trying his best to develop Yingzhou. You should go there. Your place will be in chaos after a while. Your prefect has disappeared. Now there is burning, killing and looting everywhere. If you don't leave now, you will not be able to leave later."

"What, sir, are you serious? How could this be possible?" The villagers couldn't believe it for a moment. They had lived here all their lives and had never heard of this.

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, go and ask the villagers on the drying field. They left here because of the fire. You can join the team and ask them and you'll know the answer."

The villagers looked around and couldn't make up their minds for a moment.

"Okay, let's go, or the fire will burn here. Get out of here quickly. Staying alive is the most important thing."

Bourne's words did work, and the villagers finally decided to leave together and ask others if everything was fine. If nothing happened, they could go back to the village, because they couldn't run away anyway.

Because the fire was so big, the villagers who were previously in the drying yard were choked and had to leave. Many people, but Old Man Gao and some of the others stayed to help until the fire was out.

The fire was finally out, and Old Man Gao asked with concern, "Brother Xu, are you all right? How did the fire start?"

"Maybe one of the villagers did it accidentally. We need to investigate."

"Well, brother, now that the fire is out, we'll leave first. Thank you for staying with me tonight."

The villager was looking at the current situation of his village and was too lazy to care about these people, so he did not try to persuade them to stay. "Okay, brothers, take care. I won't see you off."

After some polite exchanges, the few of them left on their own. Bao En and his companions had long since mixed in with the first group of villagers who had left, while Li Da and his companions had been waiting for them out front after they had set the fire, so now they were all in this group of villagers.

Many people couldn't tell them apart late at night. After all, they were from several villages and didn't know each other. After the fire, everyone was confused and didn't notice that there were 20 more people in the team.

“We didn’t expect such a big fire to happen. This village is so unlucky.” After leaving, everyone in the team was talking about the previous fire.

"Okay, we've helped as much as we can. Let's go now. Now that we're awake, we should hurry on and find the next place to stay and have a good rest."

We thought we had found a place to rest, but the fire woke everyone up. Now we were no longer sleepy, so we hurried on our way.

Li Da, Bao En and others followed the team and walked along the same path.

At daybreak, they found an open space and rested there. They were so sleepy that no one got a good rest that night.

The villagers were also very careful. They left some people to watch from the outside, and Li Da also sent some people to guard together.

Tian Xing'er and his group left the town and entered the woods at this time, but they were on the other side of the woods. Tian Xing'er and his group entered the town, which was a detour, and the distance between the two sides was not too far.

After walking for about a whole morning, Tian Xing'er and the others stopped to rest.

But at this time, something went wrong on Li Da's side. In the morning, the villagers in Li Da's team rested for two hours and then set out again. They did not go into the town, they walked through the woods, and followed Azhui, Tian Xing'er and the others.

They had only walked halfway when something bad happened. A large group of people rushed out from the direction of the town.

"Something seemed to have happened in the village. I heard a lot of people chasing and shouting." The villagers at the back of the team began to hear screams from behind them from time to time.

"Bao En, send someone over to take a look." Li ordered his men loudly. At this time, he already had a bad feeling.

The village chiefs of several villages stopped and sent people to the back to listen to the situation. No one dared to go back.

"Muramasa, it seems, it seems there is really a shouting sound, should we go and take a look?"

"We can't go. Those bandits must be here to rob people. Let's run away."

Suddenly they heard the bandits again and everyone panicked.

"Yes, Muramasa, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave."

Seeing the villagers start to get chaotic, several village chiefs also started to get scared, "Okay, everyone, hurry up and get out of here quickly."

Before Muramasa finished speaking, everyone started jogging.

Everyone in their team did not have much luggage. In order to escape, they did not dare to bring anything heavy. They only had simple dry food and some water. Now was not a time of natural disasters and they could find food to fill their stomachs in the forest, so their luggage was mostly light. A few families even pulled ox carts to carry their elderly and children.

The people sent by Li Da soon began to catch up with the team.

"Master, something really happened back there. A group of people were chasing a group of villagers. They were robbing things everywhere. There were about 20 to 30 people in that group. They seemed to be deliberately driving those villagers away, as if they were having fun.

The enemy is a few miles away from us, so they probably haven't discovered us yet. I'm afraid those villagers will be caught up by them soon. Should we go over and help them?"

Li Da didn't expect that chaos would break out everywhere so soon. In his current situation, he still had to protect the villagers here, and he was afraid that he would not be able to spare any effort to rescue the people behind him.

Thinking of this, Li Da felt a little bit reluctant and felt that he was useless.
