Chapter 33 Uncle's News

The situation in the town is not much better than that of the villages below, and most of them are ruins at a glance.

Fearing that there would be danger inside, Fang Youwei arranged Liuliu in an empty house outside the town, and asked him to wait for him here, and went in to see if there was anyone else, and if he could find out the whereabouts of his uncle's house.

He had given up hope that his uncle was still in the town. With his shrewdness, he couldn't stay in the town. He should have taken his family away long ago.

Entering the town, the inside is better than the outside, at least the houses are still in good condition, maybe the center is full of brick houses, which are not as easy to destroy as the adobe thatched houses.

All the way to his uncle's house, as expected, the house was already empty, and he went to a few nearby houses to look around, but he didn't see anyone, and it seemed that they all ran away.

Disappointed, he went back to his uncle's house, and was going to look for any letters his uncle had left for them.

After searching carefully, every corner was not missed. Sure enough, on the wall behind the main room door, I found a line of small characters written in black charcoal.

I saw it said: I heard that the Yue people were attacking and took their family to the capital to flee for their lives.

Fang Youwei noticed just now that it didn't look like the Yue people had searched here. It should be that uncle and the others ran away before the Yue people hit the town.

If Yue people came in to search, it would not be so tidy. Maybe later, Yue people came in and saw that there was nothing, so they left without using furniture to vent their anger. After all, there were only tables, chairs and benches left.

Fang Youwei thought about it again, and found a cellar in the backyard of his uncle's house, which he had helped to dig together. The cellar entrance was under the trough of the barn.

He blew the torch and lit a branch, turned over and went down to the cellar, where all the belongings that were not easy to take away were put in the cellar intact.

In the most conspicuous place on the outside, there is still a bag of brown rice, and there is a letter on the bag of brown rice with his name on it.

It seems that the uncle thought that he should be safe with his skills, and he would avoid the Yue people to find them later, so he left two messages for him, one written on the wall and one in the cellar. Which one could he see? all will do.

The content of the letter is similar to the one on the wall. It said that the uncle heard from the old customer who delivered the charcoal that the Yue people were hoarding soldiers and horses, and he was afraid that they were going to enter the customs.

He went to visit his sister's family, but happened to encounter a flood, and the surroundings of Fang's village were flooded and he couldn't get in.

If I wanted to come to my sister's house, I wouldn't stay in the village, but I didn't have time to look around, so I had to come back and make preparations, and took my family to the south to flee for my life.

According to the old customer, the Yue people also suffered from drought in the past two years, and the disaster outside the customs was even more serious.The Yue people have already formed several major tribal alliances, and they are ready to attack and occupy the first county city in this pass. If you want to come here, you will not be able to survive. It is better to flee south. It will be safer to be closer to the imperial city. If Fang Youwei sees this letter, he will find a way to go south with his family and not stay here.

Fang Youwei collected the letter, picked up the food his uncle had left for them, and climbed up.

Don't stay here, take Liuliu with you when you leave the town, go back, take the news back first, and then discuss it with your mother, what should you do next?
Should I go to find my uncle and the others, or stay in the mountain depression, waiting for the imperial court to send troops to beat the Yue people back outside the pass...

...I am the dividing line...

It was much faster to go back, and he entered the mountain in three hours, but he went in another direction when he returned to the mountain, so as to avoid being found by people who had walked out, and thus found the col.

As soon as I turned over a short slope, I heard the howling of wolves!

And it came from a place not far from him. He took the bow and arrow from his shoulder, strung the bow and walked slowly forward. He thought that Liuliu would be afraid, and was just about to tell him to wait here. He went up to have a look first. , it turned out that Liuliu didn't feel any fear at all, but looked eager to try instead.
