Seeing that his siblings wanted to follow their second brother, what choice did Gu Zhong have? Sticking together was certainly better than his family returning alone. He was the only able-bodied man in his household; he had to rely on his brother and sister.
Gu Zhong nodded. "My family will follow Gu Er as well."
Boss Zhang quickly chimed in. "I'll listen to Second Brother Gu, too. Whatever Second Brother Gu says, goes."
The village head sighed. He actually wanted to turn back. He'd heard the elders talk about fleeing a disaster sixty years ago, about how terrifying the refugees were. Their eyes had gone red with hunger, and they would snatch anything that could be eaten.
When they were hungry enough, they even dared to eat people.
It was always safer at home than out in the wilderness.
He was silent for a long moment. "Then let Zhang decide."
