The south of the city is a merchant who often gets up early and is greedy for night, and many people are busy with their families. So Zhao Lian has been here for half a year, and she is not familiar with her neighbors. Fortunately, the original owner is an introverted girl, since her mother died, she was taken to her hometown to live for a few years, but she didn't have any friends in the city, and she was just nodding friends.

So Zhao Lian swaggered over with the two of them, and when she met one or two familiar ones, she only nodded and changed. Others couldn't guess which daughter was the maid who was covered with a light veil and followed by a maidservant, and they were confused when they saw her nodding at herself and shouting at herself.

Aunt Zhang next door came over, and her neighbor Zhao Lian was most familiar with her, and Aunt Zhang came to visit her twice when she was not allowed to go out. She shouted sweetly.

Aunt Zhang glanced at her a few times before she saw it, and she was very surprised. The two exchanged a few words, and Zhao Lian left in a hurry, she was already delayed, and if she didn't go, it would be too late.

Until Zhao Lian was far away, Aunt Zhang still didn't take her eyes off. It's only been a few days, and this is different, there are two maids following, and this is still a good fate.

Others asked: "Sister-in-law Zhang, whose daughter is this, how can she talk to you?" ”

Aunt Zhang sighed: "This is Sister Lian of Zhao's shopkeeper's family." ”

The man took a breath, "Sister Lian, this, when did her family become so developed." ”

Aunt Zhang popularized Sister Lian'er's deeds. The man sighed that it was indeed a good life. Guangjin Building, this is not only in Yong'an, but in several surrounding counties, and even in the county have opened stores.

The Zhao family has such a son-in-law, but it is really green smoke on the ancestral grave. Zhao Xiaoniang used to look at her unattractive appearance and weak temperament, how did she know that one day she could call her servants.

Zhao Lian didn't know that others were talking about her again. She was especially glad that she had brought a veil with her, because the further she walked towards the south gate, the worse and dustier it became. If it weren't for the veil covering her mouth and closing her mouth, she didn't know how much dust she would have to eat. But you also have to be careful with your eyes, otherwise the sand.

There are few pedestrians on the road, most of them enter the city, and very few go out of the city. And those who entered the city dragged their families with their mouths, and everyone was carrying their belongings with a sad face.

The appearance of such a delicate little lady in this place was particularly abrupt, and after a glance by the people around her, she continued to walk in silence. Those eyes are anxious and reassuring, they often look back at the direction of the city gate behind them, some are relieved, some are bitter.

Zhao Lian couldn't help but hold Jinbao's hand, this time she went out and it was different from the last time. Last time, there were only fewer people, but this time the whole city is filled with a special smell, as if spring is over at this time, and the autumn wind is blowing.

"Jinbao, what does this smell like?" Zhao Lian slowly accumulated and fermented uneasily.

"This is the smell of the autumn wind." Jinbao said expressionlessly.

"Jinbao, it's not funny at all that you're joking."

But Zhao Lian knew that this was not funny.

She was a peacetime person, and she also knew that this was the smell of turmoil before the war. The voices behind him pleaded and cried, and the voices came from far and near.

Zhao Lian looked back, and saw two officials on the side of the road driving the family to the city gate. The couple dragged the servants and begged bitterly, while the children cried incessantly. On the road, some people looked sideways, some shook their heads and sighed, but no one went up to ask.

When they got closer, when the official hurried to the road and was only ten meters away from them, the man dragged the officer's hand and knelt on the side of the road.

"Sir, you are good, a few more days, and our family will soon be able to find a place to stay. If my family goes out, they won't be able to live. If you help us, you will accumulate virtue. I kneel for you, I kneel for you. ”

The official was expressionless, cold as ice: "The rules of the government are like this, if I let you go, who will let me go." I'm just eating in the yamen, and I can't be the master. ”

The official pushed away the man who was holding his trouser legs, took a stick, and shouted: "Get out of the city quickly, it is not dark to go back now, if you go back late, it will be even more dangerous." ”

How could the family be willing, they simply knelt on the road and cried, "I want to see the county order, I want to see the county order." The county magistrate is a good official and will never force us to die. ”

The official was furious, raised a thick wooden stick and frightened: "You dare to talk nonsense and slander the Ming Mansion." Be careful of the government's punishment and arrest your family and send them to prison. ”

"Then take us and at least live." Forcing us out of the city at this time doesn't mean that we are going to die? "The woman was desperate to protect her two children.

"You woman, you are talking nonsense! The Ming Mansion is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son, how can he make you die. Look at how others haven't been kicked out. It is not because the number of people entering the city has increased dramatically today, and some people have no fixed place and are running around, increasing the number of thieves and disturbing the peace. Otherwise, how could the government order that those who have no place to live should not enter the city? ”

"This morning, the government has posted a notice that a curfew will be imposed from now on. Now let you go for your own good, if the government comes to investigate in the evening and is caught, throw them out of the city. Wouldn't it be more dangerous when the providence was dim? Hurry up, don't make a mistake about yourself. ”

With that, the official kicked the package and hurried out.

"Campbell, Jingle Bell. What do you mean by this government? Zhao Lian just asked, and she knew in her heart that it was related to pirates.

They were all little girls, Ding Dong had never seen such a scene, she said in a trembling voice: "Girl, this morning, when my uncle bought me, the price was lower than usual." However, the price of rice has risen wildly. A lot of people are crying. ”

No matter how stupid Zhao Lian is, she knows that the price of rice has risen, but she will starve to death.

"Isn't this county order a good person? How not to curb food prices. ”

Without waiting for anyone to reply to her, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the Loess Avenue, and someone shouted again in the distance: "Get out of the way of the front, and those who don't let go are not responsible." ”

Passers-by dodged in a panic.

Zhao Lian subconsciously looked, only to see the young man in red clothes fluttering, hating the horse for not being fast, raising the horse whip and whipping the dark horse under his crotch. There is also a group of people behind them, speeding and following like lightning, with billowing loess behind them.

Zhao Lian was carried back by Jin Bao in an instant, but Ding Dong was still stunned, Zhao Lian hurriedly shouted: "Ding Dong! ”

Jinbao put down the food box, pulled Ding Dong over again, and Zhao Lian's heart was put down.

Who knew that there was a child in the middle of the road picking up a package, and he was so scared that he cried. The couple on the side of the road was frightened and stupefied, the man collapsed to the ground, and the woman cried out in tears: "My son! ”

The sound of horses' hooves was in front of her, and the woman was about to crawl over and was immediately stopped by the servant and the man. The next moment the boy was going to die under the horse's hooves.

Zhao Lian's heart was shocked, and she said in a broken voice: "Jinbao! Can you save it!"

In an instant, Zhao Lian heard the shout of riding a horse and reminded: "Lang Jun, there are children on the road!" ”

The young man in red said arrogantly: "I know. ”

In this way, the horse's speed did not drop at all.

Zhao Lian hated these people who treated human life like a mustard. She shook Jinbao, and she said slowly, "Yes." ”

"Ahh Jingle Bell closed her eyes in fright.
