Chapter 19: The Ruined Village

Xu Hui drove, Gao Rui Taoer was in the car, and the carriage slowly drove out of Yanwang's mansion.

"Tao'er, every time you arrive at an intersection, you will indicate Xu Hui's direction. If you're not mistaken, we'll find it soon. Gao Rui said slowly to Tao'er.

Tao'er nodded, she remembered that since she had fled to Beiping, she had lived in a deserted village outside the city. Those who fled with Tao'er were all women, children, and children. "I haven't seen Ah Lian for a while, I don't know how she's doing." Tao'er said silently in her heart.

According to Tao'er's directions, the carriage gradually drove out of the city. A short walk out of the city is a ruined village. This village used to be home to more than a dozen families, because of its proximity to the city of Beiping. The people of the village went to the city to do business in order to make a living, and after making money, they moved to the city one by one. Today, only a few thatched huts and broken courtyard walls remain. It has been reduced to a residence for vagabonds, beggars, and refugees.

"Miss Peach, but here." Gao Rui pointed to the village in front of him, which was dilapidated, with only a few old men working in the fields.

Tao'er nodded, the carriage stopped, and the three of them got out of the car. Looking at the scene in front of her, Tao'er was also surprised, it was when Tao'er went to the city to be a maid, and there were still many people living in the village, many old people, women and children. But now, the village has become a deserted village, and only a few old people remain. Tao'er was very panicked, and hurriedly ran to the thatched hut where she lived with Ah Lian before. Seeing this, Xu Hui Gao Rui trotted behind Tao'er.

When I opened the door, I saw a mess, the house was empty, and the dishes were broken all over the floor. Apparently there was a fight here before. Tears flashed in Tao'er's eyes and she sat down on the ground. Seeing this, Gao Rui immediately helped Tao'er up and asked with concern: "Miss Tao'er, don't panic, what's the matter, let's go to the courtyard and sit down." After speaking, he helped Tao'er to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

At this moment, an old man returned from chopping wood from the mountains, with a white beard and a sixtieth birthday. When he passed by the courtyard gate, he found Xu Hui carrying a sword in the courtyard, and he thought that he was a bandit. The old man panicked, dropped the firewood, and ran to the field and shouted, "Run, everyone, the thieves are coming again!" ”

Xu Hui heard someone shouting outside, so he walked out of the courtyard and saw an old man running away in a panic. Then he shouted: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are not bad people." Xu Hui saw that the old man ignored him and continued to run desperately. flew over with enough internal force to block in front of the old decay. When the old man saw that he had no choice but to run, he shouted, "Damn thief, I will fight with you today, old man." After speaking, he slammed into Xu Hui.

Xu Hui hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm and said with a smile: "Old man, we are not thieves. We are from Yanwangfu, what happened recently in this village of the old man? Tell us slowly, and we'll call someone from the government to investigate. Then he took out the token on his waist and showed it to the old man.

The old man was suspicious and was taken to the courtyard by Xu Hui. When Tao'er saw Xu Hui bringing the old man over, she was a little happy in her heart, so she immediately ran to the old man. The old man was also taken aback, "Peach! As he spoke, he took Peach's hand, touched her head, and said tremblingly, "Peach, it's great that you're okay." ”

Peach burst into tears, and there were a thousand words in her heart, but unfortunately she couldn't speak. looked anxiously at Gao Rui. Seeing that he dared to come, Gao Rui bowed and said, "Old man, Tao'er was plotted by someone before and lost her voice, but now she is fine." Old man, if you have anything to say, just tell me, if you have any grievances, I will be able to redress your grievances. ”
