After Cao Man and Zhou Zhe heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked: "Is this true? ”

Especially Zhou Zhe, he just said that it is impossible for a yellow turban thief to come to Zhuangzi. The words were still in my ears, and someone came to report that the Yellow Turban Thieves' brigade was coming towards Zhuangzi, which was also too coincidental. After a brief panic, he wondered if Cao Qiuping had deliberately sent someone to spread rumors in order to make people believe her words.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhe sat down again, and asked his subordinates with a straight face: "Say, is it your young lady who made you say this intentionally?" Lang Lang Qiankun, where did the yellow turban thief come from? ”

The subordinate glanced at Zhou Zhe, who was speaking, and recognized him as a friend of the master. If it is usual, you will inevitably have to distinguish a few words, but today is a matter of burning eyebrows, how can you be willing to talk to this person. He kowtowed respectfully to Cao Man and said, "Master, thank you for taking care of you in the past few years, the villain is grateful." Seeing that the yellow turban thief is coming, it will be too late if you don't leave, please forgive the villain for offending. ”

The subordinate got up and rushed to Cao Man, and without saying a word, he knocked him unconscious with his fist, and then carried him on his shoulder. The subordinate turned to face the people in the hall and said, "The thieves are coming, if you don't want to die, just follow me Cao Sixteen and flee." After speaking, he carried Cao Man and ran outside.

The servants and maidservants who were busy in the hall watched Cao Sixteen run out with Cao Man on their shoulders, and some were worried that Cao Man was in danger, so they shouted and chased after him; Some fled back to their rooms to pack up and prepare to flee with Cao Sixteen.

Zhou Zhe was stunned and looked at the messy subordinates and maidservants, thinking that this Cao Qiuping was really messing around, in order to make others believe in his nonsense, he actually let people go home and spread rumors, it seems that it is a little inconsiderate to let her marry her brother-in-law, and when she goes home, she will discuss it with her wife, and this family business will be forgotten.

Zhou Zhe shook his head, got up and walked out of Cao's mansion, preparing to go home and tell his wife about it. As soon as the child came home, he carried a large bag of things and hurriedly fled to the outside of the village.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Zhe couldn't help but stomp his feet in anger, and said in his heart that this Cao Qiuping was really harmful, but after learning the art of observing the heavens for a few days with a Taoist named Zuo Ci, he was demagogic everywhere, and everyone in Zhuangzi was in danger. When this matter is over, you must talk to Brother Cao and let him discipline his daughter well. By the way, there is also the subordinate named Cao Sixteen, who also has to be severely punished, in order to please the young lady, he actually dared to knock the master unconscious, it is simply against the sky.

When he returned to his house, he saw that it was also a mess, and the people ran back and forth in the yard, carrying boxes and boxes of fine softness out of the house. Seeing this situation, Zhou Zhe suddenly became angry, the Cao family was in a mess, and his own family was not much better. He yelled angrily: "Stop me!" ”

When the next person was six gods and no master, he suddenly heard his master's voice and immediately stopped. Zhou Zhe grabbed a subordinate and asked viciously, "What are you doing?" ”

"Back to the master," the servant hurriedly replied, "the prince heard that a yellow turban thief was coming towards Zhuangzi, and ordered us to pack up and prepare to go to other places to avoid trouble." ”

"Nonsense, it's nonsense." Zhou Zhechong shouted to the subordinates standing in the courtyard: "There are no yellow turban thieves at all, everyone will move things back for me." Whoever dares to talk nonsense again will be dealt with by the law. ”

The people had already heard the movement outside, so when they heard the Zhou family's son-in-law say to move, they immediately began to pack up. At this moment, the old man actually said that there were no yellow turban thieves at all, and asked them to move their things back, which made them a little dilemma.

Seeing the people standing in the yard without moving, Zhou Zhe couldn't help but be angry, he saw a pillar next to him, leaning on a broom, so he grabbed it and slammed it at those people, scolding while smoking: "Dog, didn't you hear the words of the master?" I'm still standing here doing something, and I'm not going to hurry up and move my things back. ”

Just when the subordinates were at a loss, Zhou Zhe's son-in-law ran out of the hall, and when he saw that the subordinates were standing in the courtyard and didn't understand, he couldn't help but ask angrily: "Let you pack up, why are you still standing here still?" ”

As soon as Zhou Gongzi's words fell, a person rushed in front of him and slapped him hard. Zhou Gongzi was beaten to the brim of gold, and he was about to get angry, but he heard his own Lao Tzu's voice: "You son of a, who wants you to listen to rumors and let your subordinates pack up?" ”

"Father, the child heard from the people on the street that there are a large number of yellow turban thieves who are coming towards Zhuangzi." Zhou Gongzi saw that it was Zhou Zhe who beat him, and suddenly lost his temper, he covered the beaten part with his hand, and said with a sad face: "So let the subordinates pack up and prepare to take shelter outside." ”

"Confused," Zhou Zhe yelled at his son: "This is obviously the Cao family girl spreading rumors, but you have to believe it to be true, and you don't want to order someone to carry everything back." ”

Zhou Gongzi faced his father's storm and didn't dare to tell the difference, so he could only order his subordinates to move things back. Seeing the people moving things back into the house, the expression on Zhou Zhe's face softened a lot, he looked at Zhou Gongzi and asked, "Where are your mother and sister-in-law?" ”

"Pack up in the backyard."

"Nonsense, it's nonsense." Zhou Zhe glared at his son and said angrily, "I'll come back to clean you up later." With that, he headed for the backyard.

The backyard was also a mess, with maidservants carrying large bags and running back and forth in the yard. When they saw the old man coming in, they stopped one after another. "There are no yellow turban thieves, everyone go back to their respective houses." After Zhou Zhe yelled at the maids, he walked quickly to the lady's room.

Mrs. Zhou, who has no owner, was crying with her daughter in her arms in the house, and when she saw Zhou Zhe coming in, she hurriedly let go of her daughter, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Zhe's arm, and said excitedly: "Master, the yellow turban thief is about to be killed, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Zhe shook his hand vigorously, broke free of his arm, and said angrily to his wife: "What kind of yellow turban thief, it is the girl of the Cao family who is spreading rumors." ”

"Daddy," the young lady of the Zhou family on the side raised her head, stared at her father with red and swollen eyes, and said, "But the sister of the Cao family clearly said that there will be a military disaster in the near future......

Zhou Zhe couldn't hear anyone say anything about the yellow turban thief in his ear now, and at this moment, when he heard his daughter actually mention Cao Qiuping's assertion again, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, and raised his hand to hit her, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou. He could only say angrily: "It's obvious that the Cao family girl deliberately spread the rumors in order to prevent her father from punishing her, and you will actually believe it!" ”

"What, is it a rumor spread by Miss Cao?" When Mrs. Zhou heard Zhou Zhe say this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise: "The concubine thinks that this child is quite well-behaved, and he won't do such an unbearable thing, right?" ”

"What's impossible." Zhou Zhe snorted coldly, and then said: "In my opinion, the marriage between her and your brother should be forgotten." If this kind of woman marries into the door, sooner or later she will bring shame to the family. ”

Mrs. Zhou has always been obedient to Zhou Ze, and when she heard him say this, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Everything depends on you, go back to your parents' house when you are the concubine Ming'er, and tell your brother about this." ”

While the husband and wife were talking, the housekeeper crawled into the house, knelt on the ground and said to the two, "Sir, madam, disaster has come." The Yellow Turban Thieves from the north are only a mile away from Zhuangzi, so let's hurry up and flee for our lives. ”

Zhou Zhegang ordered outside that no one was allowed to mention the Yellow Turban Thief, but he didn't expect his housekeeper to come in and say this again. He walked quickly to the butler, who was kneeling on the ground, and kicked him with his foot.

After the butler was kicked down, he did not struggle, but lay on the ground and continued: "Master, the people who fled to the north in the village happened to meet the yellow turban thief head-on, and there were countless casualties, and only two or three legs fled back to report the news. After saying that, the housekeeper rolled over, kowtowed to the husband and wife, got up and ran out.

At this moment, Zhou Zhe finally understood that the attack of the Yellow Turban Thief was not groundless, nor was it a rumor spread by Miss Cao's family, but it was true. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said repeatedly: "It would be nice if I followed Brother Cao together." ”

"Dad, mother!" At this moment, Zhou Gongzi rushed in like a whirlwind from outside, and said to the husband and wife: "The yellow turban thief is about to go outside the village, let's go quickly." ”

Zhou Zhe said in a panic: "Hurry up, hurry up, quickly bring the coil, and then pack up some soft pieces, let's run for our lives." ”

When the family of four escaped from the house, they found that the courtyard was empty, except for countless clothes scattered on the ground. Seeing that the subordinates were all empty, Zhou Zhe couldn't help but cry bitterly, and hurriedly ordered his son: "You go to the stable to see if there are any horses, and prepare a carriage for your mother and sister-in-law." ”

Zhou Gongzi agreed, and ran quickly to the stable. But after a while, he came back dejectedly and said to Zhou Zhe: "Dad, the horse and carriage are gone, and it is estimated that they were taken away by their subordinates." ”

"These guys have been cut for a thousand times." After Zhou Zhe scolded indignantly, he said helplessly: "Then hurry up." Since the Yellow Turban Thieves are coming from the north, we may be able to escape by fleeing south. ”

When Zhou Zhe's family came to the south of Zhuangzi, they were blocked by a river. Only one wooden bridge was crowded with people, and the people who fled for their lives broke the wooden railings on the side of the bridge, squeezing the people who came to the side into the water. Rao is like this, and people who are desperate to flee for their lives continue to rush to the bridge.

Just when Zhou Zhe was thinking about whether to escape by another path, he only heard a loud noise, and the wooden bridge full of people collapsed, and the people on the bridge fell into the water in unison. For a time, countless people splashed in the water, and the river was like a boiling pot, and the screams and cries for help were endless.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that the bridge had collapsed, she was immediately frightened and collapsed on the ground. Zhou Zhe knew that it was impossible to cross the river, so he hurriedly greeted his wife and children: "I can't get through here, let's go east." And when he had said that, he and his son set up their wives, and fled to the east, one foot deep and one shallow. Seeing that the escape route was broken, the people were in a hurry, and when they saw the Zhou family coming towards the east, they also followed.

At this time, the Yellow Turban thieves had already poured into Zhuangzi from the north, and they killed people when they saw them, and robbed things when they saw them. After snatching all the things in the house, he put a fire, and for a time the village was full of fire and black smoke.

As soon as the Zhou family escaped from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Zhou couldn't walk anymore, fell to the ground, and said to Zhou Zhe: "Father, child, I can't walk, you run away, it's too late if you don't leave." ”

"No, how could I leave you alone." Although Zhou Zhe is not a good thing, he is very manly at the moment, "I carry you on my back, even if I die, I will die with you." So saying, he asked his son to help him carry his wife on his back, and then yelled at his children, "Hurry up! It's better that the whole family is going to die here. The Zhou brothers and sisters knelt down and kowtowed to their parents, turned around and fled with the people to the east.

Zhou Zhe went out on weekdays, either riding a horse or taking a car, and he had never walked such a long way. If it were a person, he might still be able to escape, but with a person on his back, he couldn't be as fast as he wanted. He didn't run far before he was so tired and panting that he asked for help, but everyone who ran past him looked panicked, and no one stopped to look at him.

When he saw a group of thieves wrapped in yellow scarves pouring out nearby, he couldn't help but stop, and thought to himself: "If I had escaped with Brother Cao earlier, maybe I would have escaped by now." ”

…………

Besides, after Cao Qiuping and Mrs. Cao left Zhuangzi in a carriage, they headed towards the county seat. When they were still seven or eight miles away from the county seat, they suddenly saw countless people coming from the direction of the county seat to help the old and the young. Mrs. Cao thought it was very strange, and hurriedly ordered a subordinate to inquire what was going on.

After going for a while, he ran back in a panic and reported to Mrs. Cao: "Mrs. Hui's words, those people who have fled from the county seat say that a large number of yellow turban thieves have surrounded the city and are preparing to attack the city. Fearing a military disaster, they fled. ”

After listening to the report of her subordinates, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but feel confused, she looked at Cao Qiuping, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Daughter, what should we do now?" ”

Cao Qiuping thought for a while, and then replied: "Mother, since there have been yellow turban thieves around the county, then there must be one in Zhuangzi." Now we can neither enter the city nor go back to Zhuangzi, the only way is to go west, to the territory of Jizhou, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Mrs. Cao has long been frightened into the six gods, so naturally her daughter is what she says. She nodded and said, "Daughter, now, it's up to you where we go." ”

Cao Qiuping hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and instructed the driver who was driving the car: "Turn around and go west to Jizhou!" ”

When the coachman heard that there was a yellow turban thief in front of him, he was already frightened, and when he heard the young lady say that he would turn around and go to Jizhou, he suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and drove the carriage to the west.

After walking less than two miles, a cloud of dust suddenly rose in front of him. The coachman hurriedly reined in his horse, turned his head and said to the carriage, "Madame, Miss, there seems to be a large army ahead. ”

The three carriages of the Cao family stopped on the side of the road, and the mother and daughter of the Cao family, more than a dozen coachmen, and their subordinates were all silent, watching expressionlessly as a huge army appeared in their field of vision, and gradually approached them. It wasn't until a hundred paces away that the sharp-eyed Cao Qiuping saw the big banner at the front, which read "General Anton Zhao".
