"Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

Li Yuanying already had a guess that there are usually several ways for the refugees affected by the disaster to survive.

One is to wait for state rescue, but the risk is too high, and one's survival depends entirely on the virtues of local officials.

The second is begging along the way, when an opportunist is self-sufficient, but often starves to death on the way.

The third is to go up the mountain to rob the road, become a bandit, and roar in all directions, but this is a business of licking blood with a knife head, and losing your head at any time, maybe you will be killed by the bandit when you go to the bandit.

The fourth is to sell yourself as a slave and become a servant of a large landlord and lose your freedom, but you can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing. At least it is much better than the poor.

"Sell yourself into slavery!" Old man Li said with difficulty after a pause.

sold into slavery...

Li Yuanying was not surprised. At present, selling himself as a slave is the best choice.

"Hey, sell it as soon as you sell it, at least you can survive!" Li Yuanying glanced at Li Rong who was lying on the straw mat, and accepted the reality.

If he is alone, Li Yuanying can do whatever he wants, because he doesn't need much food, so he can survive even in the mountains and forests.

But the old man Li and Li Rong beside him cannot avoid three meals a day.

There are two ways of safety in the world, and the loss of freedom is the price!

However, Li Yuanying was not worried that he would never be free after being sold into slavery. If the owner of the family couldn't tolerate others, and Li Yuanying was not a pedantic person, he would naturally take the best policy!

In fact, there are still very few escaped slaves in this world. It stands to reason that the legs grow on themselves, and they can always run if they want to run, but they just don’t want to run. Without worrying about food and clothing, you can marry a wife and have children, live a normal life, where is it not work!If you go out and become a free agent, the chances of starving to death are still very high.

The laws of the world are so weird!

"Then don't we want our home? When the disaster is over, the government will let us return to our original place!"

Hearing that he was going to return to his hometown in the future, Old Man Li was silent again, but after only a while, Old Man Li made a decision, obviously thinking about it a long time ago.

"We're not going back!"

Now there are only three people left in the Li family, and they will live a miserable life when they go back. They are not alive no matter where they are.

"When I was in the military, I heard that the Lu family recruited refugees, and many of them were recruited away." Old man Li rubbed his hands and continued:

"The Lu family is a meritorious aristocrat, and their ancestors were the founding heroes of the Great Xia Kingdom. It's not bad to sell yourself to the Lu family!"

"Okay!" Li Yuanying nodded and responded.

……

A few days later, old man Li set off with his brother and sister Li Yuanying. Because the weather was freezing and the epidemic was under control, the damned people had already died, and no one was guarding the gate of the camp. Li Yuanying and others went out smoothly.

The snow on the road was still thick, the cold wind was howling, and the sky was full of rolled up snow. Li Yuanying carried Li Rong on his back and went on the road easily, while the old man Li had one deep foot and one shallow foot, and his injuries were still not healed. Under the obstruction, he soon lost his strength.

Li Yuanying had no choice but to stand aside, waiting for old man Li to rest.

Seeing the old man Li who was finally breathing calmly, Li Yuanying couldn't bear it, knowing that the old man Li had been beaten repeatedly, plus hunger and injuries, so his physical strength faded so badly.

You must know that old man Li is only 40 years old, he is not too old, and this is still his prime.

Now I am tortured by life like this!

"Grandpa, why don't I carry you behind my back!"

This is not showing off, Li Yuanying can lift more than 200 catties, but the difficulty of lifting and carrying is very different. Even if the old man is carrying Li Yuanying on his back, Li Yuanying can move freely.

"No, no, no!" Old Man Li blushed, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Old man Li also needs face!It would be shameless for her young grandson to carry her back, and be seen by others!

Old man Li knew that Li Yuanying was born with supernatural powers, and he had no burden behind his back, but others didn't know that!

Besides, even if I have a thicker skin, I still can't pass the hurdle in my heart.

The older he gets, the less he likes to cause trouble for others, even his relatives, not to mention the age difference between old man Li and Li Yuanying.

Rest well, and continue on the road.

The old crow stood on the branch enjoying the sunshine, and there was frozen food under the tree, croaking twice from time to time, either happy or declaring sovereignty, or both...

Stopping and stopping along the way, Li Yuanying suddenly found that this road seemed to have been passed by!

"Xungui Lu's family!"

Li Yuanying murmured silently in his heart, and asked:

"Grandpa, did the Lu family build a fortress, like a city?"

Hearing Li Yuanying's question, old man Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped, and asked in surprise:

"Yeah, the Lu family lives in the fort, why? Have you been there?"

"Well, I've seen it outside."

After listening to the old man Li, he knew that Li Yuanying must be running around looking for food. He felt ashamed, and his eyes were foggy. He wiped his sweat and rubbed his eyes and continued:

"I went to Lu's house when I was in the military. I heard that it was built after the Lu family made a fortune. The outside world, including the Lu family themselves, called that fortress Lu City!"

"It would be great if our old Li family had such a fortress!"

"Boy, you are born with supernatural powers. In the future... you will make great achievements... your family business... you will be named a marquis and a minister..."

……

While talking, Old Man Li got off topic. He first talked about the grandeur of the Lu family, then the ruin of the Li family, and then imagined the future, which was Li Yuanying's future!

Seeing that old man Li is so energetic, he has already fantasized about becoming a rich man...

Li Yuanying has black lines all over his head, and if this goes on for three days and three nights, it won't end!He could only cruelly interrupt old man Li's beautiful fantasy.

"Grandpa, it's getting dark soon."

Old man Li raised his head when he heard the words, the sun was still in the sky, how could he not know that this was Li Yuanying making fun of himself, the old man blushed, knowing that what he said was too outrageous!

Outrageous!Old man Li asked himself, and knew that what he said was not outrageous at all. He was born with supernatural power, and it seemed to be extremely natural supernatural power. The difference in power between childhood and adulthood was ten times or even dozens of times...

Old man Li's confidence in Li Yuanying was unprecedented!

It's just that confidence is confidence, food still needs to be eaten, old man Li still understands the reality, and then walked towards Lu's Fortress with a wooden stick.

The Lu family was more than 20 miles away from Xuzhou City. Li Yuanying and the three of them walked and rested all the way, and ate some dried meat in the middle to replenish their strength. It took an hour and finally arrived.

Walking in the snow was too difficult, and it was Li Yuanying who carried old man Li for a while, otherwise it would have been longer.

The last time Li Yuanying squatted on the opposite hill to watch Lujiabao, because it was far away, although he could see the whole situation clearly, it was difficult to feel such arrogance!

Yes, it is pride!

In terms of size, Lujiabao does not have the domineering style of Xuzhou City, which makes people daunting and does not dare to rise up against it.

But Xuzhou City was built by the state, and no matter how magnificent it is, it is also owned by the state, but the Lujiabao in front of it is privately owned and owned by individuals. It is a small city behind closed doors, and even some small cities owned by some countries have no Lu. The family castle is big.

Lucheng!Totally true to its name.

The cost of building such a city is unimaginable!

In front of the pass in Lujiabao, there was a small wooden house. After seeing it, Old Man Li hurriedly knocked on the door to inquire.

When he served in the army, Old Man Li knew that this wooden house was specially used to recruit refugees. Seeing that the wooden house was still there, he should still recruit refugees.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man with a gray beard came out, who was several points older than Old Man Li.

After the old man came out, he took a glance, and his eyes stayed on Li Yuanying and Li Rong for a while before he asked:

"What do you do?"

The old man Li rubbed his hands, and replied nervously: "I heard that there is a family of good people here who have been taking care of the refugees. My grandparents and grandchildren have come here specially to seek refuge!"

"refugee?"

The old man looked at the old man Li and the three of them, and saw that the clothes of the old man Li and the three were torn and messy, so he believed it.

Even if someone pretends to sneak in, they won't look for old men and children.

I was just a little surprised to see Li Yuanying's red lips and white teeth, and he was able to maintain this appearance even though he was a refugee...

Some fake!

Maybe it's innate?There are all kinds of birds in the big world, and the old man doesn't want to take care of them. Anyway, he decides whether to keep them or not. Someone is responsible!

"You are planning to sell yourself! Come in and talk."

The old man beckoned and let the three of them enter the house to talk.

After some exchanges, the old man basically understood the situation of the grandparents of the Li family.

"Refugees are suffering!" The old man sighed. He has recruited refugees many times, and he has seen a lot of refugees' suffering!

"You guys are waiting here. I'll ask the housekeeper. It's been a long time since winter, and I haven't recruited refugees for a while."
