40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Chapter 140 Messy

The scene changed so quickly that the twins had not yet figured out what was happening before they saw their grandparents, uncles and aunts lying on the ground. Then they heard a familiar cry.

They turned their heads and saw Wang Yulan lying on the ground not far away, with red blood flowing from her feet.

This scene frightened both of them so much that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over.

After Yun Guohua and Yun Shasha walked through the crowd, they fixed their bicycles, ran over to pick up the twins, patted their backs and comforted them.

When the twins heard the familiar voice, they gradually calmed down.

They did not forget their current situation. They quickly secured the twins to their bicycles, then sat on them and rode out of the village.

Yun Feifei saw their actions, then slowly pushed her bicycle through the crowd and chased in the direction Yun Guohua and the others left.

After this incident, Yun Guohua and his companions were in a bad mood and didn't say anything along the way.

They passed by several villages, and Yun Feifei found a place for everyone to stop, rest for a while, and eat something to fill their stomachs.

After more than half an hour, they continued riding along the official road.

The roads they were walking on were all muddy and bumpy, and after riding the bikes for a long time, their buttocks felt very sore.

The people they saw along the way were few and far between. They had fallen behind for various reasons. It was not until they had ridden for nearly two hours that Yun Feifei and her friends caught up with the main group.

At this time, the team included not only people from Qingshi Town, but also people who fled from famine in various villages along the way.

The crowd was so dense that they were all moving in one direction. Yun Feifei couldn't see the end of the team from behind.

The people fleeing famine here are all walking westward on the official road, and those walking at the back of the team are almost all carrying their luggage on their shoulders.

As for those who had horse-drawn carriages, snail carts, ox carts, donkey carts, and bicycles, they all walked at the front of the team. In the middle of the team were those who were carrying light loads or pushing handcarts.

The drought had lasted for a long time, and many livestock had been slaughtered. Not many families could afford livestock to pull carts.

We walked forward for several hours. The sun was very strong. Everyone was tired and thirsty. They kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads with the scarves around their necks.

Yun Feifei looked at the people walking in front of her. Everyone's clothes were patched up with patches, and the original colors of the clothes could no longer be seen.

He was covered in dust and dirt, and the weight of the shoulder pole on his back made it impossible for him to straighten his back.

Many people were dragging their children along, some were carrying hungry babies, or elderly people with limited mobility.

Yun Feifei looked at the dense crowd in front of her and wanted to ride her bicycle past the crowd and move forward, but the resistance she encountered was quite great.

Because the team was moving slowly, several of them got off the bikes and followed behind, pushing their bicycles. However, there were so many items on the bikes that it took a lot of effort for them to push them, and they were so tired that they were out of breath.

Yun Feifei couldn't see the end of the fleeing team in the space domain, so she could imagine how many people there were.

Yun Feifei wondered if they could reach a place where they could stay before dark at the current speed.

So she asked the others to follow closely, then she got on her bike, got off the official road, and rode to the side.

Yun Feifei was not familiar with the roads here. She originally wanted to buy a map, but she couldn't find one.

She only knew that there was a train to the west to City X, and her plan was to take a few people and take the train to live in a developed city.

Yun Feifei and Yun Guohua and a few others rode along a small path beside the official road.

With the help of the space field, Yun Feifei tried her best to find a path forward without obstacles.

Although they had the help of bicycles, they didn't get far because they had to take a detour.

It took her more than an hour to reach the front of this team. She rode forward for a while and came to the back of another team.

When it was getting dark, Yun Feifei chose to settle down in the village in front of her.

"Okay, let's stop here today. We'll rest here tonight and continue on our journey tomorrow."

As Yun Feifei spoke, she walked towards the direction of the house that had been selected in the space field.

In the space field, she could see that more than half of the houses in the village in front of her were empty. It seemed that the owners of the houses had joined the ranks of those fleeing famine.

The house she chose looked the most sturdy and clean among the empty houses.

They parked their three bicycles in front of a yard. The gate was ajar and an iron lock was dropped at the door. There were signs that the lock had been pried open.

Yun Feifei pushed open the gate and walked inside. After entering, she could see that the house was in a mess and there were signs of being ransacked everywhere.

Thinking of the iron lock that fell on the ground, Yun Feifei could guess that the owner of the house had locked the door before fleeing.

Someone broke into the house and ransacked it.

After pushing the bicycle into the yard, Yun Feifei locked the gate from the inside. Others were already walking around the house, checking the environment inside.

Yun Shasha entered the kitchen first, but it was impossible to find food because everything that could be used in the kitchen had been taken away.

All that was left was a stove without a pot, an empty wooden cabinet, and garbage all over the floor.

The twins followed Yun Guohua and walked through several rooms. There was nothing else in the rooms except large furniture such as beds, tables and chairs.

It is impossible for the refugees to move all the things in their homes so thoroughly, let alone those who had moved them away had them been taken away by other people.

Don’t forget that there are still many people in the village who stay and are reluctant to leave their homeland.

When the three of them came out after shopping, they saw Yun Feifei unloading the useful things from the bicycle. Yun Shasha had already found a broken broom and simply cleaned the kitchen.

After cleaning the kitchen and putting in the iron pot they brought from home, Yun Guohua picked up a lot of firewood from outside and came back to prepare to light the stove and cook.

Yun Feifei also came back from a walk outside and brought back half a bucket of water.

It was euphemistically said to have been found in a nearby house, but in fact it was taken out from the space.

She didn't dare take out too much water, just enough for them to cook and drink.
