Chapter 167 Surrounded
The refugees who had escaped the bandits' raid returned the way they had come.
They set out before dawn in the morning, and as it was getting dark, they were about to walk out of the mountain range when they were suddenly attacked by bandits.
They fled desperately to avoid the bandits' pursuit. Now it was completely dark and many people were holding torches in their hands.
It was snowing and the road was very difficult to walk on. If we continued walking at this speed, we wouldn't know whether we would be able to get out of the mountain range by daybreak.
Everyone was exhausted, and when they saw that the bandits behind them had not caught up, they slowed down.
After walking for quite some time, everyone was tired and hungry. Many of them could not hold on any longer and did not want to move anymore. They just sat down without paying attention to the snow on the ground.
With someone taking the lead, the refugees stopped one after another and picked up firewood from the surrounding area. However, the firewood was difficult to burn because it had been eroded by the snow.
After the unremitting efforts of the refugees, a fire was gradually lit and everyone gathered around it to keep warm.
At this time, those who had previously had carriages and enough food now had nothing.
Their food, bedding and other belongings were all in the car. When the bandits came, they were only concerned with escaping and did not take anything with them.
Fortunately, the bandits did not search them, as many of them had some dollars, gold, or valuable jewelry on them.
But I didn’t bring much with me. After all, these things are quite heavy, and the bulk of them are hidden in my luggage!
Most of the people walking in the middle pushing carts were not affected, only a few lost their luggage for various reasons while escaping.
Especially when a handcart was pushed close to the person driving the car in front, many people were pushed to the ground due to the sudden situation, and quite a few were trampled to death.
……
In the village, almost everyone in Yunjia Village had fallen asleep.
Many refugees in the village have run out of food at home, and their children are crying with hunger. The refugees are walking around the village, hoping to find someone who can give them food.
After such a long period of fleeing, there were countless people who had food at home and were compassionate and who met these people who came to them crying for help.
At the beginning, they will lend a helping hand, but soon they will put themselves and their loved ones in trouble. If they are not strong enough, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Along the way, they saw some people who had offered a helping hand, but were robbed by them, leaving them in despair. They went from having enough food and clothing to having nothing, and some even lost their lives.
Many refugees resorted to extreme measures due to lack of food.
Some people rob people who are alone or vulnerable groups.
Some people would select their targets after careful selection and tracking, and then quietly approach them in the dead of night when the owners were asleep, and steal all their food and property.
Some people succeeded, while others were discovered by the owners during the theft and a fierce fight ensued.
Many women sold their bodies for a little food, some voluntarily and some under duress.
They ate some of the food they got in return, but most of it was taken back to feed their crying children.
In order to get a little food, cruel people would sell the children, especially girls, to buyers.
On the road to escape famine, the darkness of human nature was ruthlessly exposed.
Since fleeing the famine, Yun Feifei has been using her spatial field, and she has seen a lot of the various life situations in the fleeing team.
Seeing the family supporting each other, the couple would rather go hungry. They shared the only remaining steamed bun with the children and the elderly in the family and went hungry themselves.
Seeing the white-haired old man, in order not to implicate his children and grandchildren, he quietly stood up while his family was asleep, looked at the sleeping children with affectionate eyes, stood up, and staggered away in a direction.
There was no telling how many such incidents there were. Yun Feifei thought that she was not a good person, and she was reluctant to give away the supplies that she had collected with great effort.
But when she saw such a situation, she would be infected by these people, put on a fox mask, and give these loving families a few multi-grain steamed buns and two kilograms of locust powder that she had collected in Qingshi Town before.
She didn't dare give any more, for fear of making these people dependent.
The leader of the Black Wind Village and his many men brought back a large amount of spoils. Without bothering to count the harvest, the leader left the Black Wind Village with a large number of men and headed in one direction.
Ever since the village chief came to buy food for Yun Feifei, no one has come to disturb them.
The twins were holding two little rabbits and feeding them. There were two rabbits, one male and one female. One had white fur while the other had a slightly gray fur, so the twins named them Xiaobai and Xiaohui.
"Fourth brother, take a look at Xiaobai and see if he feels uncomfortable. Why doesn't he eat anything when I feed him? Is there something wrong with Xiaohui?"
"No, Little Gray eats everything I feed him. Let me see what's wrong with Little White."
Yun Guoping also became anxious after hearing this. After the eldest sister brought the two rabbits back, they were the ones who took care of them. They were very concerned about the two rabbits and were waiting for them to give birth to baby rabbits so that the family would not have to worry about having no meat to eat.
As Yun Guoping spoke, he stretched out his hands and picked up Xiaobai, only to see Xiaobai struggling in his hands.
Yun Guoping didn't know what was going on and was about to ask his brothers and sisters for help when he felt his hands get wet. Then a little rabbit fell from Xiaobai's body and landed on his hands.
"Jiji——"
Suddenly, the sound of a rabbit was heard in the bedroom.
Yun Guoping felt the little rabbit in his hand startled for a moment and then put Xiaobai on the ground.
"Little rabbit, Xiaobai is about to give birth to little rabbits. No wonder he refuses to eat and keeps making a fuss while holding it!"
When Yun Lingling heard that Xiaobai didn't eat because she was not sick but was about to give birth to baby rabbits, she clapped her hands with joy.
He looked at the little rabbit in Yun Guoping's hand with concern.
When Yun Guohua and the others heard that Xiaobai had given birth to little rabbits, they also came over to watch the fun.
They were very happy as they watched the little rabbits being born from Xiaobai one by one.
After more than half an hour without any movement from Xiaobai, everyone knew that Xiaobai had given birth to the entire litter, with a total of six little rabbits.
"Sister, we have a little rabbit at home!" Yun Lingling said happily.
When Yun Guoping saw that so many little rabbits were born, he went to find some old clothes to use as padding to make a simple, comfortable bed for the little rabbits.
Yun Feifei's side is filled with laughter and joy because of the addition of six little lives.
It soon became completely dark, and the temperature gradually dropped. The people in Yunjia Village had to wake up from their sleep. They sat around the fire and started chatting since they had nothing to do.
