Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 32 Going out of the city overnight
He Jiuniang quietly retreated out, looking for an unoccupied wing, and found a room that was completely different from the other rooms. The decoration was more luxurious. If she guessed correctly, this was Qian's mother's room.

There was no one in the room, so He Jiuniang was not in a hurry. She went to the dressing table and searched for a while, and got a lot of treasures.

There were about a dozen silver notes worth one hundred taels, as well as some gold and silver jewelry. He Jiuniang put them all away in the space without ceremony.

During this trip, I wanted to teach Mother Qian a lesson so that she would not dare to trouble the Lu family again, but now He Jiuniang suddenly felt that there was no need to teach her a lesson.

The biggest lesson for a greedy person is to take away all her money!

He Jiuniang smiled, left the room, and prepared to return the same way.

As soon as I left the house, I heard someone shouting from next door: "Sir, it's not good. There are refugees climbing the west wall to enter the city. There is chaos in the west. I'm afraid this city gate won't be able to withstand it!"

He Jiuniang felt shocked and thought about making this matter even bigger, so she quickly went to the backyard to set a fire, and then ran away.

On the way back, He Jiuniang did see chaos in the city. There were officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere with torches, trying to find the refugees who had sneaked in.

When she arrived at the Lu family camp, she didn't care about anything else and said directly to Boss Lu: "Brother, wake everyone up quickly. Some refugees are starting to make trouble. It's dangerous here. Go to the North City Gate first. It should be early." Open the door and let’s leave as soon as possible!”

The refugees are definitely not just one or two people making trouble. To make such a big noise, they must be working in groups. They climbed over from the west city wall and will probably come to the south of the city to open the city gate. By then, even if the Lu family can survive, they will not be able to survive. Property and food will definitely be robbed.

Boss Lu was really ready to take a rest. As soon as he heard this, his drowsiness disappeared instantly. Even if He Jiuniang didn't explain it clearly, she didn't know how she knew it. Anyway, she believed in him and went to call the men directly. .

He Jiuniang was responsible for waking up the female family members. The older children were woken up and followed, and the younger ones were carried or carried. A group of people hurriedly headed towards the north gate.

"What's going on? Why is everything going so well now so chaotic?"

Mr. Lu was holding a chicken coop on his head. As he walked forward, he did not forget to ask He Jiu Niang how she was doing.

"I don't know the specifics. I just went out for convenience. I saw someone climbing in from the city wall and going to someone's house to grab things, so I hurried back to call everyone."

He Jiuniang had already thought of her excuse. Anyway, she just used the excuse of getting up late when she went out, and it worked just as well now.

Sun rarely spoke, but she felt in her heart that the third daughter-in-law was really lucky. She could detect danger every night and lead her family to escape in advance, which was considered as escaping another disaster.

Qianzhou City is still very big. It took a group of people an hour and a half to rush from the south of the city to the north of the city. However, other refugees did not come here, so it was still safe for the time being.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw this, they thought there was some wild beast chasing the family, so they stepped forward and asked, "Why are you guys running around without sleep in the middle of the night?"

"Master, something big happened!"

He Jiuniang spoke first, pretending to be very scared: "Refugees broke in from the south and west of the city, and it was a mess. Our family originally lived in the south of the city. When we saw those people rioting, we didn't want to get involved, so we came here to rest. When I leave the city early tomorrow morning, I would like to ask you to be kind and convenient."

As she said that, He Jiuniang took out a small silver ingot of five taels and handed it to him. The officers and soldiers saw that the person who could easily take out so much money was definitely not an ordinary refugee. He should be a squire or something like that, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it with him. So many families fled.

"Riots in the south of the city? What's going on?"

The soldiers became anxious instantly. If this caused a big fuss, it would not end well.Another soldier said: "No matter what the chaos is, we have to wait for someone to notify us and we can't mess up our position."

The man then said: "In that case, you can find a place on your own and don't hinder us!"

The soldiers guarding the city got the benefit and had other worries, so there was no trouble for them. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sharp-eyed people saw that He Jiu Niang had only five taels of silver to make a move. Knowing that the Lu family was really developed, they became even more determined to follow in the footsteps of the Lu family. The Lu family was satisfied with eating meat and drinking broth.

"Everyone, let's take a rest first! We are so tired in the middle of the night!"

Old Man Lu exhaled and sat down on the ground.

Running like this at such an age is really a test on your physical fitness!
Worse than him were a few injured people, such as Lu Daping and Zhang Song, who still took the Lu family's carriage over. Although their wounds hurt from being squeezed together, it was better to let them walk on their own.

A large group of people sat on the ground panting. They were so thirsty that they didn't dare to drink water. This water was bought by Mr. Lu and others during the day. It was expensive, so they had to drink it sparingly.

Originally, they still had some water, and the drought was not very serious along the way to Anzhou, so they should be able to find water along the way. However, just in case, Boss Lu still took the initiative and filled several water tanks. Everyone was worried about Boss Lu again. It was a burst of gratitude.

I thought I could have a good rest, but who knew that soon there were officers and soldiers riding over to report: "There is a riot in the south of the city. Open the city gate and let the stranded people out of the city as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, He Jiuniang's eyes lit up, she had been waiting for this moment.

"Everyone, please pack your things and leave. It will be troublesome if the mess gets here."

As soon as He Jiuniang spoke, the Lu family got ready again, and as soon as the city gate opened, they hurried out of the city.

But they didn't stop and went straight to Anzhou. There was a riot in Qianzhou City and the surrounding area was unsafe, so they had to run as far away as possible.

As for the Fengyun Building, they had too much time to take care of themselves, so naturally they couldn't bring trouble to the Lu family again.

Qianzhou City can be regarded as a boundary. The south is full of refugees and is in chaos, but the north is relatively better. Only refugees with some ability can come out. And all the way north, the drought is not too serious, and the trees on the road have some of their original colors. .

It is precisely because of this that it is much safer in comparison, at least it won't make everyone's eyes flash green when they encounter it on the road.

The Lu family walked all night and encountered other refugees, but they were all safe.

When the sun rose, Lei Zi sat down on the ground and groaned: "I can't walk anymore, I really can't walk! My mother, my legs are going to be broken!"

He is the eldest child in the family. He didn't have to ride in a carriage all the way. He relied on two legs and walked with adults all night. He only hummed now, which is already very good.

Youyatou followed closely behind, sitting on the ground and not getting up.

Although Lianhua had come all the way and felt that her legs were almost no longer her own, she knew that she was not a child of the Lu family. It was already very difficult for the Lu family to take her in. She didn't want to cause any more trouble to the Lu family, so she didn't say a word of "tired".
