Let's say that Saitama has been leaving Jiangnan with Que'er and Chunying for more than a month, and everything is going smoothly at the beginning, and the road is very peaceful, although it is hard, but there is no trouble. But when you enter Suzhou, the road is not very peaceful, and you will see some homeless people from time to time. Fortunately, Saitama and the others made preparations in advance, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and their hair was simply tied in a simple bun with wooden hairpins, which was similar to the clothes of most people on the street, and even the outside of the carriage was covered with a worn tarpaulin, which was inconspicuous.

Suzhou is located in the northwest, the weather is dry, the diet is mainly meat, and the things are not as delicate as those in the south of the Yangtze River. Saitama has been in the capital since he was a child, and he is very particular about his diet. Even when he arrived in Shandong, he was treated harshly by the Wang family as well as when he was a child in the capital, but it was still a piece of fine clothes and food. As for the later marriage, because Li Yi cherished his wife, food, clothing, housing and transportation were all the top things.

Although Saitama didn't complain, even Que'er couldn't stand the rough food, not to mention her, plus she was anxious to rush to Qingcheng, so she was a little hurried on the way, so she fell ill within a few days.

At this moment, he was in a hurry to make Que'er and Chunying angry, and hurriedly asked Tang Yong to go out to ask for a doctor. After the doctor came, he checked the pulse, said that the spleen and stomach were not balanced, and he felt cold outside, so he let him rest more, eat something easy to digest, and left the prescription and left.

Originally, it was not a serious illness, but Saitama was anxious to hurry, and this small illness actually dragged on for more than ten days before the four of them got back on the road.

As the weather grew colder and the road became more and more difficult to walk, at noon on this day, they arrived at a small town, found a random food stall to eat something, and took a short rest. Saitama saw many people dragging their families in the direction of Suzhou, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he asked Tang Yong to inquire and see if there was anything wrong ahead.

Tang Yong went to Xiao Er to inquire, but he refused to say anything, and gave him a few dollars of broken silver, so he inquired. Originally, there were many people living in the mountain, all of whom had been collecting medicine and hunting for a living, because there were many kinds of medicinal materials and rare and exotic beasts in the mountain, and some merchants had set up shops in it to purchase these things on the spot, so it gradually formed a small town.

Who knew that a group of strongmen came last year, forcibly occupied this town, and asked for money from door to door, so that everyone couldn't stand it and had to leave one after another. But there are still many people who keep it, after all, it's not easy to live anywhere these years. But who knows, a few days ago, the gang of strongmen killed more than 10 members of the family because they couldn't get money from the family, and these people escaped overnight on the way, and I heard that there were still many people inside who couldn't get out.

Saitama couldn't help frowning when she heard the news that Tang Yong had inquired about. This Qishan is the only way to Qingcheng, after Qishan, you will reach Qingcheng in two days, but now......

Even if he was worried about Li Yi, Saitama knew that he couldn't take the lives of a few people seriously. Especially if a few women fall into the hands of that group of strongmen, it must be more than lucky, and if there is such a day, it is better to die and be clean.

"What about the government? This group of strongmen is so unscrupulous, doesn't the government care?" asked Que'er hatefully.

"In these years, the government has been hiding from robbers, how can anyone welcome them. Those officials and masters only want to be promoted and make a fortune, who cares about the lives of the people!" Tang Yong said,

"Even so, let's find a place to settle down and see what happens, or if there's any other way around it. Saitama said.

After months of running around and recovering from a serious illness, Saitama's originally round cheeks were deeply sunken, and her skin lost its former luster, becoming dull and dull, and she no longer had the demeanor of the noblewomen of the capital in the past.

Everyone's mood was very low, seeing that they were about to arrive in Qingcheng, but they encountered such an obstacle, which was like a basin of cold water poured on people's heads. Tang Yong cheered up, and finally found an inn in the town and rented two houses. Because many people are stranded here, the inns in the town are almost full, and only the last two houses are left in this remote one. Saitama and Que'er lived in one room, Tang Yong and Chunying lived in one room, and everyone settled down and didn't say anything for the night.

Saitama originally wanted to wait a few days to see if there was any business trip to pass, so that everyone could take company and take care of them on the way. Who knew that Tang Yong went out to ask for a few days, but no one dared to leave at all, and they were all waiting for the government to come out to suppress the bandits.

As for the detour, because Qishan is a hundred miles around, if you want to go around, it will be less than one or two months, and at most half a year, and the road is more difficult to walk, and it can even be said that it is inaccessible and few people walk. Otherwise, those thieves would not have chosen Qishan to fall into the grass. These are the people who do business, who are willing to take this risk.

Saitama had no choice but to live in the inn and wait for news. Every morning, Tang Yong would go out to inquire about the news in the town, and Saitama could only stay in the inn. This morning, Que'er was helping Saitama pull her hair, and suddenly found that Saitama actually had a white hair on her head, and she couldn't help but exclaim. Saitama asked her what was wrong? Magpie didn't dare to hide it, so she had to say:

"It's nothing, it's just that I found a gray hair. ”

"Unplug it and I'll see. Saitama commanded.

"Yes. Magpie carefully plucked the hair off. Saitama only felt a slight pain in her head, and then saw Magpie holding a half-white, half-black hair in her hand.

"It's just that you've been overthinking lately, just go back and recuperate. ”

Saitama nodded, and when Que'er saw that Saitama's face was not good, she didn't dare to say anything more, so she lightly helped Saitama pull a bun and inserted a peach hairpin. My wife is in her teenage years, where is the time to grow gray hair. Although it is not possible to say that there is no food and sleeping in the open on the way, but the conditions are really not good, where has Saitama suffered like this since she was a child, but she didn't say anything on the road, but looking at the white hair on her head, you can know how much sorrow she has in her heart.

On weekdays, the prince is very good to his wife, which makes their group of little maids envious, but it also brings a lot of trouble to his wife. If it weren't for him, Madame wouldn't have had to make this trip. The relationship between the two masters is enviable, but it is also sad, it is better to live a life without concern like this.

Tang Yong came back at noon, and Saitama saw his disappointed look, knowing that there was no result, so he cheered up,

"Let's eat first, and then we'll discuss what to do, and there's no way to wait. ”

The four of them didn't talk about the rules anymore, and sat around and ate together. Saitama explained his decision to everyone.
