There were many soldiers and bandits on the road. One batch today, another batch tomorrow. The barren mountains and rivers were full of beard that had fallen grass. If they met a particular person, they would want money over their life. If they met someone who did not pay attention, they would only become a desperate ghost with a knife.
On both sides of the main road to the east of the country, there were mass graves everywhere. There were countless graves, and they were all buried by the people who had broken through the east of the country. The graves were all facing their hometown. Countless souls looked at the land of Qi and Lu every night.
Early in the morning, a group of Qing soldiers arrived at Longkou Port and set up an altar in the northeast direction of the port.
It was because there had been no wind for ten days in a row that they decided to worship the heavens.
The sacrificial altar was set up in two hours. A Big Dipper Flag was hung on the altar. Because there was no wind, the flag was hanging softly, sticking to the wooden stake and not moving at all. The fishing boats on the sea were also motionless.
The Qing soldiers brought a pig's head and placed it on the altar. They lit the incense table, and President Qian chanted and sang the words of worship. The disaster victims who were rushing to the east of the country looked at the altar with dry faces and anticipation.
President Qian lit incense and kowtowed to the gods. He prayed for the gods to appear and prayed for the heavens to bless him.
An hour passed, and there was no wind at all.
Zhu Weishi shook her head and sighed,""God doesn't give us face. What a disaster.”
Wails gradually came from the crowd. After another half an hour, the sky became gloomy, but there was still no wind. Just as the people gradually lost hope, a figure rushed to the altar.
It was the Great Philosopher Zhou.
Long Fuxiang's shopkeeper, Zhou Fengnian.
Fabian raised his hand and pointed at the sky, cursing,
"The heavens are blind! He wanted to force this group of pitiful people to death! The heavens were unfair, and there were droughts in nine out of ten years! What crime did the common people commit? Soldiers and bandits are in chaos, and the heavens are forcing people to death! So many people have left their homes and sold their children. Now, they only hope for a strong wind. Why doesn't the damn heavens agree!!”
Fabian's voice was sorrowful and tearful.
Strangely enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and a strong wind whistled. The waves on the sea surged, and the sail of the fishing boat made a flapping sound.
"The wind is coming! The wind is coming!"
Everyone cheered. The Qing soldiers quickly maintained order and arranged for everyone to board the ship.
However, there were already thousands of disaster victims gathered at the port. The fishing boats could only transport a few hundred people. For a moment, their eyes were red.
Ye Xu relied on his good physique to protect everyone. Although it was crowded, they were still able to squeeze into a boat.
He remembered that many of these boats had been sunk by the Wei Nation people, so he stared at Shopkeeper Xia Yuanzhang. Whichever boat he boarded, Ye Xu would escort everyone onto it. In the end, the family sat neatly on the deck.
All the boats were filled with people and were ready to go out to sea. Those who did not come up wanted to wait for the second batch, but they did not expect the Qing soldiers to seal the port.
It turned out that the Japanese and the Russians were fighting more and more fiercely in Lushun. The Japanese had launched a sneak attack and destroyed a Russian fleet. Now, they were going to seal off Bohai Bay, so this was the last batch of ships.
After understanding the inside story, the refugees who did not board the ship beat their chests and stomped their feet. There were also many who made a fuss. However, in the end, they could only pack their luggage and travel to the east of the country by land.
On the other side, the fishing boat took advantage of the strong wind and finally left the sea.
The boatmen shouted as they raised the sails. The people sitting on the boat looked at the shore that was getting farther and farther away, and tears flowed down their faces.
This time.
He had completely left his hometown and left the great land of Qi Lu.
"Mother! We lost our luggage!"
After an unknown amount of time, the ship had already entered the depths of the sea. Chuanwu suddenly howled, giving Zhu Weishi a fright.
Ye Xu was also stunned. When he took a closer look, the package was really gone.
She didn't know if the package fell into the sea when she was on the boat or if someone had touched it, but she had lost it.
The family's rations were gone.
"Chuanjie, where's the genealogy?"
"Yes."
Chuan Jie touched his chest. The old genealogy was kept in his clothes, so it was not lost.
"It's good that you didn't lose it, it's good that you didn't lose it. Otherwise, I won't be able to face your father.”
Zhu Weishi heaved a sigh of relief, but Chuanwen Chuanwu was so anxious that he cried. Other than silver coins, there were also many pancakes in the package. This was the family's rations.
Chuanwu's gun was also in the bag. It had not been used before, and it was gone just like that.
"Don't worry, I have food here.”
Ye Xu reached into his pocket and took out a big bag. There were ten catties of cornbread in the bag.
Zhu Weishi was stunned, she couldn't believe it,""Child, where did you take this out from? We don't have this thing at home.”
"A few days ago, when we passed by the Yu Family Residence, we ran into a large market. I bought it there. I was afraid that something like this would happen. This is life-saving food, so I didn't tell you.”
"You're still the most attentive, good child.”
Zhu Weishi teared up and looked at Ye Xu with relief. She took the biscuits and distributed them to everyone.
"We only have this much food. We don't know how many days we'll have to float on the sea.”
Everyone took the biscuits and silently ate a few mouthfuls.
Zhu Chuanwu gestured curiously and said,"Brother, you really know how to hide. Such a big bag of biscuits, but I couldn't see through it at all.”
The few of them laughed and quarreled.
Chuanwu ate half a flatbread with a puff and a puff, and his mouth was bulging. Xia Yuanzhang, who was on the side, looked interested, so he came over.
