Li Yan asked, "Where to go?" ”

His parents are still missing, if he leaves here like this, how can he find his parents, and they were born and raised in Xiahe Village, even if they have relatives nearby, if they go, where can they go?

Zhao Ziyue knew that Li Yan was worried about his parents' affairs, but he felt that a shrewd person like Dr. Li would definitely not stay here, but he was afraid that he would catch up with Kyoto all the way.

"Go to Kyoto, my family is there, and I can help you find your parents."

Kyoto, that is an unreachable place, Yu Dalang's ancestors have been in Xiahe Village for generations, and he has only mentioned the name Kyoto in the mouths of others, but no one has ever seen what kind of place Kyoto is.

Li Yan also knew for the first time that Zhao Ziyue's home was originally in Kyoto, and when he walked with him first, he only heard him say that he was going north, but he didn't want that to be Kyoto.

He knew Kyoto, and had heard it countless times from his father's mouth, that it was a prosperous place, full of gold, and full of the most powerful people, and that he could only fantasize about that place in his heart, but he didn't want to go there now.

"Brother Yan, Uncle Yu, Sister Chun Tao, Sister Xia He, you all have kindness to me, I will definitely not leave you alone, now the border city is in turmoil, no one can say where it will be harmed, now only such a road to Kyoto is the best, my father and aunt are all affectionate people, and they will definitely settle you." Zhao Ziyue was afraid that they would be reluctant to give up this homeland, and hurriedly persuaded: "If you are reluctant to come here, you can wait until the end of the war and then come back here, which is the same." He added: "Now that the situation is not good, I really can't stay here any longer." ”

Zhao Ziyue couldn't find a trace of fault in his words, Yu Dalang frowned and thought about it, but he could only turn his head and ask a few children: "What do you think?" ”

He is not young anymore, he does not have the enthusiasm of his youth, but he really has feelings for the land in Xiahe Village, and it is normal to be reluctant to leave, but if he doesn't leave, he can only wait here to die, it doesn't matter if he dies, it is difficult to ask a few children to die together?

Xia He and Huzi didn't think much about it, but when they heard the words, they responded with a smile: "Daddy, why don't we go to Kyoto with Ah Yue, we haven't seen what Kyoto looks like." ”

Chun Tao pursed her lips and didn't speak, how old is it, and she thinks a lot, although it is said that the place in Xiahe Village is really poor, and their family of four often can't even eat white rice, if they leave here and go to Kyoto, with the help of Zhao Ziyue's family, it will definitely be better than now, but if they really go to Kyoto, where they are not familiar with life, it is equivalent to starting all over again, and they can't rely on Zhao Ziyue's family for the rest of their lives.

She turned her head and asked Li Yan, "What do you think?" ”

Li Yan is struggling in his heart at this time, he is young and full of curiosity about the outside world, the place in Kyoto that everyone yearns for is very tempting to him, but he has always been relieved that his father and mother are not at ease, if he can't find anyone in the future, won't it make him regret it for life.

"I, I'll think again." Li Yan patted his head, and he was really entangled.

Zhao Ziyue didn't force him, but said: "Uncle Yu and Brother Yan think about it, you must not be able to stay here for a long time, if you don't leave early, no one can say what will happen in the future." ”

Yu Dalang also sighed: "Eh, I'll reply to you tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Yu Dalang's father and daughter went with Li Yan to find the whereabouts of Dr. Li and his wife.

At that time, Zhao Ziyue was drunk with tea and drew a few strokes on the table to teach Huzi to read and write, and seeing that they all looked solemn, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong?" Something happened out there? ”

Li Yan's two thick brows were wrinkled together, and he didn't hesitate to look at Zhao Ziyue, and said, "Let's go to Kyoto." ”

Now the situation is getting worse and worse, just now when they went to the street to look for people, some of the people who had also escaped death had already organized a riot, because the number was not large, they also went to take a look, where did they know that the magistrate of the town directly sent out the officials, and when they saw the troublemaker, they killed them directly, and the bright red blood stained the land with blood.

However, as a parent official, he said: "Do your duty, being alive is already God's favor for you, don't hesitate to be blessed." He also said: "As far away as the emperor is far away from the emperor in our place, not to mention the death of a few people from the village, even if our town disappears overnight, no one will pay attention to it, don't eat enough one by one and make those famous halls come out." ”

Li Yan is the age of hot-blooded Fang Gang, the war between the two countries broke out, the innocent homeland was destroyed, as a parent official, not only did not think about the people, but also said such cool words, so that he did not get up lightly, if it wasn't for Yu Dalang who kept pulling him, maybe he would go up and beat people up.

It is also this incident that made Yu Dalang and Li Yan see the current situation clearly, the government is inactive, and the people are powerless.

Zhao Ziyue was stunned when he heard the news, but looking at the faces of a few people, he thought that something must have happened outside, so he made a decision in a hurry, and he said, "Okay, let's prepare and set off tomorrow." ”

He took out the only silver beans left on his body, weighed about three taels, and put them on the table without a moment's notice: "There are many of us, but most of them are not very old, and it is not a day or two to go to Kyoto this time, it is best to buy a carriage with a canopy, and if you sleep in the open on the way, there is also a place to cover." ”

"It's just that I only have these in my hands, and I don't know if it's enough."

There are so many of them, all the way to Kyoto to eat, drink and live are indispensable to spend silver, Zhao Ziyue, who has never been short of silver in the past, at this moment is to regret that there is no habit of bringing valuable things on weekdays, otherwise at this time, it is a jade pendant can be worth fifty or sixty taels, if you save a little along the way, so many people plus a carriage of fifty or sixty taels can also support Kyoto.

"No, I'm a little bit." Li Yan touched his body and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels, which was a small vase that he copied when he passed by the tunnel and took it out and pawned it, he was a rough man and didn't know how much this thing was worth, and he also felt that it was worth sixty taels.

A vase should be sixty taels, of which ten taels will be used to buy medicine for Zhao Ziyue, stay in the guest house, and take care of the food and drink of these individuals, so far there is no surplus of three taels of silver, and the rest is only the silver ticket that has not been touched in this chapter.

Since Zhao Ziyue and Li Yan both took the money out, Yu Dalang and his family were naturally embarrassed to stand, but he was really shy in his pocket, and he took out the silver bag from his arms to pour out all the family property in it, and it was only two or three hundred yuan, and the two or three hundred copper coins were particularly dazzling when they fell next to the silver beans and silver tickets.

Yu Dalang smiled awkwardly: "That's all I have"

All the family property adds up to more than fifty taels, and Zhao Ziyue carefully calculated an account in his heart, feeling that if there is no accident, these silver must be enough. He put away all the silver, packed it in a money bag and handed it to Yu Dalang: "Uncle Yu, I have to worry about buying a carriage and buying rations with Brother Yan, this place really can't stay for a long time, we can leave early if we can." ”

Yu Dalang has never read a book, even if he settles the account, it is just a few small money for selling fish, and now there are more than fifty taels in the money bag, and he doesn't dare to take it, for fear of losing it or asking someone to give it to the pit, so he hurriedly said: "I will definitely do a good job with Brother Yan, and this money is also called Brother Yan to put it away, I can't read and don't know how to settle accounts."

This is full of rations for these people for a while, if they lose it, they can really only beg back to Kyoto, Zhao Ziyue knew that Yu Dalang was afraid that he would not be able to do it well, but he was not reluctant, and only handed it to Li Yan: "Brother Yan"

Li Yan was not polite, reached out and took the money bag into his arms, and said, "Do we have enough silver?" If it's not enough, I'll go home and get something to do. ”

Zhao Ziyue shook his head: "It's enough to save a little." He added: "Now that Xiahe Village is only afraid of falling, if Brother Yan goes back again, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous." ”

Li Yan also said that since it was enough, then he would definitely not give up his life for this money.

He nodded: "Cheng, I'll go out with Uncle Yu to buy a carriage and come back with some dry food." ”

Saying that, Li Yan and Uncle Yu got up and went out, there are still a lot of things now, so we have to finish it early and leave early.

Chun Tao stayed in the inn and took Xia He to pack up her luggage, saying that the luggage was just a change of clothes that Li Yan bought for the big guy two days ago, and there was nothing to pack.

At sunset, Yu Dalang and Li Yan came back, and led an old horse, and immediately pulled a very old carriage with a saddle rope, Li Yan stretched out his hand to feed a handful of horse feed, and sighed in his heart: I hope you can hold on until we go to Kyoto.

It stands to reason that such an old horse will drag down their journey, but now the situation is not good, and there is a day of time, but everyone who has the ability to raise a carriage is ready to leave here, and the rest of those who sell carriages are almost this kind of goods, even this horse is still a thousand choices.

Zhao Ziyue didn't say anything, it is not easy to buy a carriage in this situation now, just ask for a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there can't be too many high requirements.

Not only was the carriage bought, but I also bought a bag of millet and a bag of millet flour by the way. Millet noodles also asked Chun Tao to use the kitchen of the inn to steam a pot full of millet and rice, and when to make dry cakes. As for the millet rice, they kept it for cooking porridge on the road, after all, they may not have food to sell everywhere they go along the way.

The group was ready, and then they slept well at the inn again, and got up early the next morning and set off.
