Chapter 31: On the Road

Ningxiang, when you are full, you will be sleepy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 She yawned twice, then rinsed herself with hot water and climbed into bed to rest.

It's just that An Huai'er's interest is a little high, and I don't know if I'm excited to talk to the woman, so I went back to the room and dragged Ning Xiang's small mouth without stopping, talking a lot.

Ning Xiang took advantage of the situation skillfully, intentionally or unintentionally, to ask her about some things about Gujia Village and the outside from the woman's mouth.

From An Huai's trivial and messy words, Ning Xiang summarized the scattered information and learned some of the geographical location of Gujia Village where she was and some information about the outside.

Gujia Village is one of the closest villages to Qingjiang, Gujia Village is a large and sparsely populated small village, the whole village has only a few dozen households, but the population is less than 100.

In the past few years, there have been years of famine outside, and there are refugees fleeing everywhere, and the life of the people is miserable.

In recent years, the health of the emperor of the Xing Dynasty has been declining year by year, and he has indulged in women's conscription and forced labor, and has started to build imperial tombs on a large scale, resulting in the annual taxes paid by the common people becoming heavier and heavier year by year. To add insult to injury, there were frequent outbreaks of famine in various places, coupled with a large-scale earthquake in the northwest two years ago, which spread from the northwest to more than 30 large and small cities in the southwest county, and even the border area of the imperial city also received aftershocks, causing thousands of dawn people to destroy their homes and die, with nowhere to live and be displaced.

Ning Xiang frowned when she heard this, this is already a phenomenon of troubled times, troubled times are the most terrifying, and it is not safe there. With such worries, she fell asleep, perhaps too tired, although she was full of worries, she actually slept until dawn.

She listened to the sound of rain outside, and she heard Mama Li, who was sleeping next door, come in and say, "It's raining, so I have to stay for another day." She frowned slightly, the road is not very peaceful, they are in a hurry to enter Beijing, but the sky is not beautiful, it is actually raining heavily today, the road here is not easy to walk, if it takes advantage of the rain to rush the road is more and more difficult, although the heart is anxious, but only one more day to stay.

It was raining outside, so Ning Xiang lazily sat on the kang and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

An Huai couldn't stay in the house, so he went to find An Yun and they went out to play.

When she returned, her face was very bad, and she looked preoccupied in the dim candlelight.

Ning Xiang was surprised, An Huai's personality has always been a lively and worryless character, but if he does things safely, he rarely puts his thoughts on his face.

Ning Xiang watched An Huai sit on the wooden bench by the pit since she entered the house, and habitually poured a cup of tea in her hand, but she didn't mean to drink it, but was in a daze at the closed wooden door.

"Senior Sister An Huai, what's wrong with you? What's outside the door? For An Huai's abnormality, Ning Xiang lowered her voice, afraid of disturbing her and asked softly.

As soon as Ning Xiang's words came out, An Huai immediately stood up with a frightened "pop", her actions at this time could not be described as "standing", and it was more appropriate to say "jump".

Something terrible must have happened, otherwise An Huai would not be so abnormal, like a bird with a frightened bow.

"What the hell is going on out there?" Drink incense.

"Outside...... Outside ...... "may have noticed that his behavior was too abrupt, An Huai stammered twice, and the expression on his face was more natural.

"What's going on out there? You say! Ning Xiang asked again, and her tone was as soft as possible.

"There are a lot of people out there....... Many, many people......." An Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice became coherent, "Senior Sister An Hui, I saw a lot of people surrounding the village. ”

An Huai said that she saw the expression of "many people" outside the village, as if she was saying that she saw "many ghosts" outside the village.

Talking in a hurry, An Huai, this girl is not in a hurry to die!

The dialogue between her and An Huai is tantamount to returning to the original point.

Ning Xiang pulled An Huai with one hand, semi-forcibly pulled her to sit on the kang next to her, and asked An Huai face to face, "There are just the two of us in this room, what do you have to say to me." You tell me, what's wrong with the people outside the village? Who are they? ”

An Huai's fingers on both hands twisted the sleeves on both sides, and his eyes involuntarily aimed at the wooden door, and said, "The people outside the village are... Terrible people. They are bound to be drawn by the aroma of food..."

An Huai didn't say anything, Ning Xiang didn't feel that there was a smell of meat wafting into the house from outside the crack in the door.

The woman had previously cooked a bowl of meat in the kitchen, which Mama Wang had specially asked the guards to buy in the village.

When Ning Xiang was thinking about entering this god, An Huai continued, "Those homeless people have been hungry for a long time, and they are afraid that they will do everything for food. Don't you see that their eyes are glowing green like hungry wolves..."She shuddered, probably remembering the scene just now, and was still muttering to herself.

Ning Xiang's heart was also solemn, only her face was not visible, she smiled at An Huai comfortingly, hugged her and said, "Senior sister, don't be afraid, they don't dare to mess around, besides, we still have guards by our side, don't scare yourself!" ”

After appeasing An Huai, Ning Xiang's brows frowned slightly, and she remembered what An Huai said, and she was jealous of the unknown people outside the village, and a sense of irritability rose in her heart for no reason.

She has always wanted to find an opportunity to escape secretly, and if those homeless people make trouble outside, it is an opportunity, but it is also very dangerous. And if you leave, where should you go?

The capital, she still has to go to the capital, the master once said that if there is a chance to let herself go to the Great Compassion Temple in the capital, find the dust master. also said that he has spoken official since he was a child, and he may not know that his biological parents are from the capital.

Although it's not hers, but now that she has this body, she still has to do what she deserves.

Ning Xiang is also a little troubled, if she escapes, it is a big problem to introduce something that shows her identity, but she can't take care of it so much at the moment, she will think about leaving first, otherwise the closer she is to the capital, the slimmer her chance of escaping.

She pinched the silver ticket she sewed on the corner of her clothes, which was secretly given to her by her master, although it was not much, but fifty taels was enough for her all the way to the capital.

The grandmothers have been following them, not because they are afraid that they will escape, but because they are afraid that they will make a mistake and will not be able to make a mistake.

This is a rare opportunity, and now she hopes that those refugees will really attack Gujia Village for food, as she suspected.

A crisis equals a turnaround.
