After the Qi Family and several other families entered the forest, they found there was no path at all, completely unlike when they had gone up the mountain earlier, where Qi Quanjin and the others had cleared a small path.
However, no one said anything about it.
The men split into two teams, the front team was responsible for clearing the weeds, while the other team guarded the back of the group.
In the middle were the elders, women, and children of the family.
The hand carts were in the center, surrounded by people on all sides.
The elders held onto the hand carts, and the smaller children were placed on top of the carts.
When the women couldn't push, they took on the responsibility of pulling the carts.
Not far into the forest, someone said, "The villagers are following us."
Qi Zheng, walking in the back, glanced back and said calmly, "If they want to follow, let them. We just go our own way."
