Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 42 Bad news

Not far away, the two of them could still hear the panicked voices of their servants coming from behind.

And men in official uniforms were so angry that they killed slaves to vent their anger.

Su Buwei hugged Su Bujing and ran quickly. The two oil paper umbrellas he came with were held in Su Bujing's hands.

The two of them didn't even hold an umbrella, for fear that people behind them would catch up.

The clothes of Su Bujing and Su Buwei were naturally wet.

But fortunately, they wore warm sachets on their bodies at all times, so their body limbs were still warm and they didn't feel too cold.

Otherwise, after running around in the rain today, wearing wet clothes, and the cold weather, you will definitely catch cold and heat!

The two of them returned home in a hurry, fearing that they would be discovered to have gone out privately when they returned later than Su Yuanshan.

Fortunately, Su Yuanshan has not come back yet.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Su Buyou sitting in the main room, waiting for Su Bujing and Su Buwei to come back.

Su Bujing and Su Buwei both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister! Second brother, you are finally back! Dad has never come back, and you are not here either. I am so scared!"

After Su Buwei comforted him with "Don't be afraid, little brother", he went to the kitchen to boil hot water.

He and his sister were caught in the rain today. No matter whether it was cold or not, they had to soak in hot water!

Otherwise, it will be bad if the moisture from your body enters your body.

Su Buyou pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm going to practice hard, please take me with you next time!"

Su Bujing touched his head and said, "Okay, practice hard. When you are as tall as my second brother, I will take you with me!"

Su Buyou: "My sister is not tall, so why can she go?"

Su Bujing: "Because it's the person that sister found!"

Su Buyou tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "When will sister be going to find that bad guy who defrauded our family of six taels of silver?"

Su Bujing touched Su Buyou's head happily, "I'm so smart! But I don't know where that person is, sister."

Su Buyou said disappointedly: "Then what should we do?"

Su Bujing said softly: "Nothing can be done. The cycle of cause and effect means retribution will be unpleasant. It's not that we won't retaliate. The time has not yet come."

"Maybe that person will appear in front of us by himself later!"

Su Buyou nodded in understanding.

After Su Buwei boiled two pots of hot water, he and Su Bujing took a bath one after another, changed into dry and soft clothes, drank a cup of hot ginger soup, and then sat down to take a breath.

Su Bujing and others waited until the candles burned out and the hall became dark, but did not wait for Su Yuanshan to return.

At this time of the week, their family is already getting ready for bed.

Su Buwei frowned and said, "Why hasn't dad come back yet? What happened to that county magistrate?"

Su Bujing couldn't hide his worry: "I'll go to the county government office to have a look!"

Su Buwei hurriedly said: "My sister and I are together! Little brother, please stay at home, we will be back soon!"

Su Buyou:...

Woohoo, why is he staying to look after the house again!
Su Bujing and Su Buwei put on their cloaks, held umbrellas, and hurried to the county government office.

Because Su Bujing had traveled around Bai County before, he was very familiar with where the county government was.

The rain is still falling.The dark clouds aggravated Su Bujing's uneasy mood, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps. Su Buwei hurriedly followed.

Before arriving at the county government office, I heard an exciting drum beat.

The sound of the drum seemed to carry magical power, deafening in the noisy rainstorm, soaring into the sky.

A middle-aged man stood on the steps of the Yamen, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"The people of Yuanzhou and Qizhou died miserably at the hands of the rebels. If King Yu hadn't been fighting bloody battles till now, the brutal rebels would have invaded our Yongzhou!"

"Now that the war in Qizhou is difficult, do we Yongzhou people have to sit idly by and wait for the rebels to bully and trample on us Yongzhou people?"

"Rui needs us now!"

"For the tranquility of Rui State and the safety of Yongzhou, we are duty-bound! Sons and gentlemen, pick up the weapons in your hands and follow King Yu to kill the enemy!"

The obedient people at the foot of the steps were all men.

At this time, they were so excited by the words of the people on the stage that their faces turned red, they clenched their fists with passion, and they shouted with great momentum:
"Suppress the rebels! Show our country's prestige!"

"Suppress the rebels! Show our country's prestige!"

Su Bujing was staggered by the slogan soaring into the sky. Su Buwei behind him even almost bumped into Su Bujing.

"What's wrong, sister? Let's go! I think I saw daddy!" Su Buwei helped Su Bujing in confusion.

Su Yuanshan was at the back of the crowd.

She stood there blankly, as if she thought of something bad. She grabbed Su Buwei who was about to step forward and called someone, and said:
"Second brother... let's go back first and pack our things."

Su Buwei wrinkled his face in confusion.

We’ve all arrived, why should we leave?Collect something?What to collect?
Su Buwei wanted to ask Su Bujing, but when he saw that her face was not very good, he put away his doubts and went back home with Su Bujing.

On the way, the two of them were silent.

After arriving in the yard, Su Buwei was about to ask a question, but Su Bujing interrupted: "Second brother, put away all the clothes in the bedroom first, and wait until dad comes back."

Su Buwei had no choice but to pack his clothes, fold them one by one and put them in the quilt. They were bulging like a huge stone.

After packing up, Su Yuanshan also came back from outside in the rain.

Su Yuanshan looked very unhappy, his steps were a little heavy, and his cloak was wet from the rain, but he didn't care.

He came in, first drank a bowl of ginger soup on the table, then sighed and said:

"Oh, things are not going well!"

Su Bujing quickly asked: "Dad, is Bai County going to...recruit troops?"

Su Yuanshan said helplessly: "It's not Bai County, it's the entire Yongzhou."

"Qizhou couldn't stand it anymore. King Yu reported to the court, hoping to recruit urgent troops in Yongzhou, which is closest to Qizhou. The emperor made a decree in court and quickly sent them to Yongzhou."

"The county magistrate called all the adult men in Bai County and said that every man in every household who could walk must go to the Yamen to register. In ten days, he would set off for Qizhou to help King Yu capture the rebels. "

"Ah? Even those who can walk are going to go? How old are we going to let babies go to the battlefield?" Su Buwei grabbed Su Buyou anxiously and said angrily.

Su Yuanshan was helpless and said:
"Well, before leaving, the county magistrate read out the yellow registration list of each household one by one, and said that the Yamen has records. I hope everyone can go to the Yamen to register honestly."

"Can I use money to pay for it?" Su Bujing asked.

There are four men in their family!
Dad, eldest brother, second brother and little brother...

And my little brother is still so young... I'm afraid he can't even hold a weapon!

If they are really drafted to fight in Qizhou, they will never come back!
Because that King Yu will definitely let these miscellaneous soldiers recruited from Yongzhou be used as human shields!
Their family wouldn't just break up like this!
