Gu Zhong saw that his sister and younger brother were all following Gu Zhang. What else could he do? It was always better for the siblings to be together than to go back alone. He was the only strong laborer in his family, so he had no choice but to rely on his brothers and sisters.

Gu Zhong nodded his head and said: “My family will also follow my Second Brother.”

Zhang Laoda also expressed his position: “I will listen to Second Brother Gu. I will do whatever Second Brother Gu says.”

The village chief sighed. He wanted to go back. He had heard from the elders how terrible the refugees were when they fled sixty years ago. They were so hungry that they would grab anything as long as they could eat.

People were so hungry that they dared to eat anything.

It was always safer at home than in the wild.

He was silent for a long time and said: “Then Xiao Zhang, let’s make up our mind.”

When Gu Zhang saw everyone looking at him, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body, so he had to say: “I still want to keep moving forward.”

“If it’s just a drought this year, that’s okay, it’ll be over after a while, but if there is a severe drought next year and the year after, no one will survive in our family, so I’ll have to leave even if I don’t want to.”

Uncle Ma pricked his ears. Will there be another drought next year and the year after that?

Gu Zhang said so confidently, how did he know? By looking at the stars in the sky at night?

“If we take a detour, it won’t work. As each day passes, our life in Xiqin County will only become more and more difficult. Those who have food today may not have it tomorrow, and the number of refugees will only increase. ”

Everyone nodded, that’s right, taking a detour would waste time, and by then there would be even more refugees.

“I mean, we should still follow the previous route, but we have to think of a way.”

Gu Zhang looked at Uncle Ma: “Uncle Ma, you were a bodyguard when you were young. Think about it, what should we do if we meet a homeless person? Should we also hire some people from the mercenary?”

Uncle Ma shook his head: “I can’t say whether it’s right to hire people or not, but in this situation, it’s useless to hire fewer people. If you hire more people, the money will probably not be a small amount.”

At this moment, Gu Fei suddenly said: “Dad, I think this is not the only solution.”

“Let’s go on the road. When we meet honest and reliable young adults on the way, we will give them food to eat, on the condition that they will go with us and protect us along the way.”

“If someone who is starving has enough food to eat, I think he will risk his life to protect us.”

“Besides, there are quite a few of us. If we encounter someone who robs something, if we all attack together, we will be stronger than the refugees. Do we still have to worry?”

Uncle Ma looked at Gu Fei, this girl was extraordinary.

Shouldn’t a country girl be so frightened when she hears such a thing? Just like Xing’er, who was hiding behind her mother and looking panic-stricken. She looked like a country girl now.

But this girl, Gu Fei came up with an idea. And her idea was quite feasible.

Gu Zhang thought for a long time and said: “This is also a way.”

“It’s just that I’m worried that the people we picked up along the way may not agree with us. Their loyalty and honesty can’t be seen just by looking at their faces.”

“Therefore, if you want to hire this person, you can’t hire too many. If there are too many, they might join forces and rob all of our food.”
