lady, please calm down

Chapter 155
The time is pushed back two days.

August 25.

The sharp army of the Caizhou Xiang Army entered Jiebeidian and cut off the east and west official roads.

Naturally, such a major event cannot be concealed. Combined with Zheng Ding's threats on Yaqian Street on the 21st, "Tamping down Tongshan, and telling Er to wait for chickens and dogs to be left behind", a terrifying thought suddenly rose in the hearts of the people-military chaos!
As the saying goes, banditry is like combing soldiers.

Historically, once an established army is out of control, the damage done to the place is devastating.

On that day, the people of Tongshan felt the fear engraved in their bones after a short period of astonishment.

Immediately, chaos broke out in the county.

A large number of people from Langshan County in the west of Tongshan pushed wheelbarrows, put on bedding and stoves, and fled northward with their wives and belts.

To the south of Tongshan Mountain is the Huaishui Tianmo, to the west is Mangmang Tongbai Mountain, and to the east is the Caizhou Xiang Army stationed.

Only going north to escape to Tangzhou seems to be the only way out.

noon.

Laoyemiao Village, five miles north of Luliuxu.

Fan Guanghan put the old woman on one side of the wheelbarrow, and tightened the rope to tie up the bedroll on the other side.

Goutou shouted anxiously into the house, "Miss! You are still dawdling, hurry up!"

The wife in the house, Mrs. Yu, hugged her son in one arm, and dragged out a curved plow with difficulty with the other, "Master, take this plow with you too! This is the dowry my uncle gave me when we got married."

Fan Guanghan couldn't help stomping his feet and said anxiously: "It's about time! We are going to escape! Leave it behind!"

Seeing her husband getting angry, Mrs. Yu let go of her distressedly, and then groped to take out a few invoices from her waist, and said hesitantly: "Then we must exchange the invoices at Luliuwei for copper coins, otherwise, who will leave Tongshan?" Still recognize this piece of paper."

"Everywhere is in a panic now! Who has the time to exchange copper coins for you! When I sold grain, I said I would accept copper coins, but you want the tickets!"

"Didn't I think that the freight ticket can buy some rare items?"

Yu Shi retorted in a low voice.

In the past few months, Fan Guanghan worked as a laborer in Shizipo Market, and Mrs. Yu set up a small stall outside the market to sell twisted doughnuts.

The husband and wife saved a lot of money that they had never seen before.

Seeing that the freight ticket was light and handy, and that some of Luliuwei's output could only be purchased with the freight ticket, Yu exchanged all the money he earned and the money from selling grain into the freight ticket.

I don't want to, but now
Seeing that his wife was still hesitating, Fan Guanghan said anxiously: "Will you go! If you don't go, I will go with my mother!"

"walk around"

The family of four hurried out of the yard, and the village was already in chaos.

Those who call for children, those who set up livestock carts, those who carry objects on the carts, and there are teams of families stretching all the way to the entrance of the village.

"Mother, sit down." Fan Guanghan ordered, and pushed the car to catch up with the fleeing team of villagers.

"Son, mother doesn't want to leave, mother wants to die in our yard" the old woman replied in a low voice.

Fan Guanghan pretended not to hear.

After a while, Fan Guanghan finally couldn't hold back when he walked outside the village. He looked back at the small village where he was born and raised.

Seeming to be a tacit understanding, the villagers stopped one after another, then maintained the same posture, and looked back.

The fleeing team, which was still noisy just now, gradually quieted down. There were only two suppressed sobs from time to time.

It's all good at home, but it's hard to go out for a day.

Since ancient times, can this kind of good life be escaped?
In fact, until now, Fan Guanghan is still in a daze. He just chose to flee with the big flow out of his sensitive intuition of danger.

But why the Caizhou Xiang army stationed troops at the county border, and why they made an attacking posture, he had no idea at all.

It wasn't until he set foot on the official road to the north and gathered villagers from other nearby villages that Fan Guanghan heard that it was the governor of Caizhou who was greedy for the money that the people of Tongshan had earned recently, so he wanted to send troops to plunder.
"Fuck you bitch!"

Hearing that this was the reason, Fan Guanghan couldn't help scolding his mother.

Don't these dog officials see that we have a better life!
Despite the resentment in his heart, but out of habitual fear of 'officials', let him bury his head north with the team.

It is more than 30 miles from Laoyemiao Village to the northern county boundary.

This time, the Tongshan County Government reacted very quickly. Knowing that many people were fleeing to the north, they immediately organized a group of public servants, signing troops, and volunteers to maintain order along the way to prevent stampedes and criminals taking advantage of the chaos to steal property.

There is a 'water room' every ten miles to prevent the folks from getting thirsty.

Seeing that the county government not only did not prevent everyone from fleeing, but was so caring, many people felt a little uncomfortable, which was probably similar to guilt.

When passing outside the county seat, Fan Guanghan saw Chen Chu, the owner of Luliuxu, the head of the county, leading several strong men and an old man, galloping towards the south of the city to kill Hugang with a few strong men and an old man.

His whole body was cold and his face was solemn.

Going north for more than ten miles, it was close to the county boundary on the north side of Tongshan, and the fleeing team that stretched for several miles was congested ahead.

Fan Guanghan pushed the cart, Yu Shi hugged her son tightly, and finally squeezed to the front of the crowd.

I saw countless folks surrounding a temporary thatched water house.

Before Fan Guanghan asked why so many people gathered here, he saw a petite woman standing on a chair.

"Hey! Isn't this Chen Dutou's eldest lady?" Yu Shi, who had met Mao'er a few times, said in surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, the cat on the chair put her hands over her mouth and said loudly: "Dear folks, everyone, line up so that it can be faster! Since I, Luliuwei, have set up an exchange point here, we can Exchange all the bills in everyone's hands for copper coins."

Fan Guanghan looked at Yu Shi in surprise.

Is there such a good thing?

We didn't go to Luliuxu to exchange the goods tickets, but they took the initiative to wait beside the county boundary.
With the words of the cat, the people below were quiet for a moment, and a certain gray-haired elder took the initiative to step forward, cupped his hands, and sighed: "Thank you, Mrs. Chen, for your understanding."

"Old man," the cat's voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth, so he cleared his throat with a light cough, and tried to speak loudly: "Old man, why do you need to say such polite words. Other counties don't recognize our ticket, and don't help the folks exchange it." When you come back, how will the folks go to other places to get food and clothing?"

The old man sighed again, and asked: "Dare to ask the eldest lady, is Chen Du not going away?"

Cat took the water from Yunong, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "As a county official, my official has the responsibility to guard the land. He won't leave!"

The crowd was quiet again for a moment, but a woman asked, "What about the eldest lady?"

Mao'er glanced in the direction of the county seat, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Where my officials are, I will be there."

Hearing this, the white-haired old man quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Ma'am, if there is a way, who would want to abandon their family and business and live in another country? Then the Caizhou Xiang army will do it!"

Hearing this, Mao'er looked around at the dark crowd below, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in the loudest voice: "My family officials said that Tongshan is his Tongshan, it's also my Tongshan, and it's everyone's Tongshan.

This time, the Tongshan disaster, my family officials have made a wish for benevolence. If my husband and I spill blood on our hometown, we will not talk about other things.

If you are lucky enough to repel the chaos, so that you can return to your homeland.

Folks, let’s leave today, please cherish it forever.”

After saying that, the cat jumped down from the chair, poured a bowl of water with his own hands, put both hands in front of the white-haired old man, and said: "Old man, after this farewell, I don't know if we can return to the hometown again, and the old man will drink another bowl." Let’s take the water from Tongshan.”

The old man just took the bowl with trembling hands, and suddenly burst into tears.

With him, the crowd suddenly sobbed.
Fan Guanghan wiped his tears with his sleeve, then turned around and hugged Mrs Yu, and whispered in the latter's ear: "Lady, I will send you across the county boundary to find a place to stay, my mother and son are all dependent on you." looked after."

"Master! Where are you going!" Shi Yu was taken aback.

"I'm back! Come back and guard Tongshan with Chen Dutou and the others!"

"Ah? Why are you in charge!"

"Dutou is right, Tongshan is his, and Tongshan is ours too! Our old house, our three-acre mulberry garden, my hard work, and your stall of fried dough twist! If Tongshan is gone, all of us will be lost." It's gone! Seeing that she is living a good life, she can't let outsiders spoil her!"

"But the head of the family, what strength can you do alone?"

"One more person is more strength! If Tongshan is in danger today and I escape, and when Tongshan lives in a better life, what face will we have to come back!"

"." Yu looked at her husband. She had been married for several years. She had never seen such a resolute look on her man's face. She couldn't help feeling hot in her heart and changed her mind. Escaped! I’m going to stay at my cousin’s house in the county, you just follow and guard our house, I’ll take care of my mother and son in the city!”

"it is good!"

Unity time.

A strange scene occurred on the official road from Tongshan to Tangzhou.

Although there are still a large number of people with their families traveling north, groups of people are also returning south.

Some people bring their wives and children, while others are young and strong in groups
But someone with good intentions asked, "Brothers, why are you back?"

Among the common people returning from the south, there will be someone who will proudly and firmly reply: "Tongshan is yours, and Tongshan is mine too! I will not run away, and I will protect my homeland with the capital!"

Inside the county boundary water house.

Chen Yingjun, Xu Zhiyuan, Ximen Chong and others who were helping here as volunteers looked at each other and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes in embarrassment.

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Mao'er's thin and busy back, and whispered: "Even the principal's wife is ready to become a benevolent person, we need to do something, otherwise we will be in vain!"

"Do something?" Chen Yingjun, who was full of enthusiasm, felt that he had nowhere to vent, and hurriedly asked.

"So, let's" Xu Zhiyuan's voice became softer.

Standing aside, Chen Jinyu, who was wearing men's clothes, listened attentively.

In front of the water room, order gradually became orderly.

The hoarse cat looked at the sky and wanted to rush to the city.

However, the official road is crowded at this time, and the carriage must not be needed when we come.

If you want to be in a hurry, you can only ride a horse, but the cat can't ride a horse. There are only men who can ride a horse in the water room, and they can't share a ride with them.

Unless the cat subconsciously looked at Cai Wei who was sitting in the corner, Cai Wei was also looking at her with a probing and playful smile.

Time is precious at this moment, Mao'er didn't hesitate, and went straight forward to salute, "Miss Cai San, can you take me back to the city on horseback."

"it is good."

Mao'er originally thought that Cai Wei would use this to make things difficult, such as saying "I will take you if you shout" or something.

But she didn't expect Cai Wei to agree so neatly.

After a while, the two rode Xiao Hei all the way south.

"What are you going back to the city for?" Cai Wei finally asked on the way.

The cat sitting in front faced the autumn wind, tucked some of the messy hair back to her ears with an elegant gesture, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I want to find Mrs. Ximen and sister Wan'er to organize a batch of women in the city. Shoes, give us Tongshan sergeants to wear."

"."

Cai Wei held the rein in both hands, and wrapped her arms around the cat's slim waist, and suddenly leaned close to the latter's ear and said softly, "Little wild cat, I have underestimated you before. Today I just discovered that you can really put on an upright look." The generous and virtuous appearance."

If you praise someone, you can praise someone, and you have to use the word 'pretend', which directly turns the compliment into a derogation.

Some tired cats ignored Cai Hua.

Cai Hua giggled, and leaned forward to cling to the cat's slender back.

The horse bumped, and the cat clearly felt it. The cat frowned slightly, and scolded dissatisfiedly, "It's time, can you be more serious!"

"Hey~" Cai Wei smiled disdainfully, "Are you also so prudish when you have fun with the puppy at night? Oh, by the way, Mrs. Chen is a boring lady."

This time, the cat wasn't annoyed anymore, it just...suddenly raised its elbow and slammed it back.

Right under Cai Hua's rib
"Sigh~"

Cai Wei took a painful breath.

On the small ridge to the north of Shahugang, Chen Chu stationed his horse, pointed his horsewhip at the valley below the ridge and said, "Master Huang, how is it here?"

Huang Huihong looked at it carefully for a while, and replied: "Dongjia, the mountain depression here is trumpet-shaped, and there are rocks on both sides, which can maximize the potency of the medicine."

When Chen Chu heard the words, he didn't speak any more, and looked from a distance silently.

Looking far away, the vast land is lonely and far-reaching.

The appearance of sentient beings with dim eyes and close observation, or panic or perseverance.

The sunset and the evening wind, the lonely smoke and the long river.

Great rivers and mountains, but there are many thieves.
