Chapter 35: The Anle Town Crisis
After roughly understanding the life experiences of Chu Chu and Tie Zhu, Xu Xiaoxiao stayed awake all night.
The next day, the villagers of Liujia Village began to pack their luggage, and everyone looked very good today, perhaps considering that they could soon reach Anle Town to rest, they packed their bags and worked hard.
The donkey cart followed the team of Liujia Village all the way, and the team marched north through the plain, everyone in the team sang and laughed, only Xu Xiaoxiao listlessly set up the donkey cart.
Liu Qiao'er, who was sitting on the side, noticed Xu Xiaoxiao approaching her strangely, and quipped: "Hey, you know no, that Chu Qing packed his luggage and left overnight last night." ”
"Hmm." Xu Xiaoxiao was not interested in other people's affairs, and replied casually.
"He left you a letter as he left, saying it was a gift."
Liu Qiao'er knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was not interested in gossip before, so she took out her secret weapon and took out a yellow envelope from her arms.
The envelope aroused a little interest, and she glanced at the envelope shaking in Liu Qiaoer's hand and took it casually, and then handed the reins to Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiao'er curiously leaned over to check together, she tore open the envelope, there were only four words on the stationery, don't enter the city.
Xu Xiaoxiao repeated the four words in the envelope, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of the reason.
Why can't you go into town? Is there a danger?
Thinking of the refugees infected with smallpox on the road, the uneasiness in her heart quietly rose, could it be that the refugees infected with smallpox had brought the plague to Anle Town?
But why did Chu Qing know that there were already infected people in Anle Town, and why did he still bring patients with tuberculosis when he knew?
"What is this?" Liu Qiaoer took the envelope and looked at it several times, but she couldn't find any other handwriting on the envelope except for four words.
"I'll go ahead and look for Lizheng." The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, according to the current pace of the villagers, he was about to reach Anle Town, whether it was true or not, he still had to find out the situation before entering the city.
In the middle of the donkey cart, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait for the donkey cart to stop, jumped off the carriage lightly, and walked briskly towards the front end.
"Lizheng." Xu Xiaoxiao found Liu Lizheng's family at the front of the team.
"It's Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?." Liu Lizheng saw that it was Xu Xiaoxiao, and his face was full of smiles.
"I received an envelope with a message that I felt I needed to tell you." Xu Xiaoxiao took out the envelope and handed it to Li Zheng.
After Liu Lizheng took the envelope and opened it, he saw the contents on it, his face was complicated, and he asked with a serious face, "Then what do you think?" ”
After Xu Xiaoxiao assisted Liu Lizheng in dealing with the crisis a few times ago, he had already regarded her as a military advisor, and the village would discuss it with her in decision-making.
"Personally, I suggest that we pause our march and send someone to Anle Town to find out the situation and make a decision." Xu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded, although he was reluctant to stop the advancing team, but he was also worried that there were many dangers ahead, so it was better to send someone to check it out for the sake of safety.
Liu Li went to find Liu Mengzhou and Xu Xiaoxiao and returned to the donkey cart.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think Anle Town will look like?" Liu Qiao'er drove a donkey cart and looked at the surrounding scenery and asked curiously.
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, lying on the cart and closing her eyes and thinking.
Her instincts told her that there must be something quirky about Anletown.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Liu Qiao'er found that Xu Xiaoxiao was silent and pushed her shoulder suspiciously.
"It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable, just take a break." Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and hurriedly concealed the doubts in her heart, although her intuition has always been very accurate, but she didn't dare to speculate.
Now the only way to prove it is to go and find out.
"Then you rest first, and I'll call you when I arrive." Liu Qiao'er didn't notice anything abnormal, and her eyes fell on the front of the donkey cart, looking at the road that was gradually driving towards Anle Town.
"Let's stop moving forward and rest for a while." Liu Mengzhou ran all the way from the front of the team to the back of the team, shouting as he ran.
When the villagers heard this, they were eager to go to Anle Town, who didn't want to stay outside this crisis-ridden city.
Although everyone complained, they didn't dare to talk too much, so they had to scold and scold each other to find a sheltered corner to rest.
Xu Xiaoxiao was very curious about the situation in Anle Town, she looked at Liu Qiao'er, "Do you want to go to Anle Town in advance?" ”
"Yes." Liu Qiaoer, who wanted to arrive in Anle Town as soon as possible, looked at the team that had stopped again, and the whole person was depressed, and when she heard that she was going to Anle Town in advance to investigate the situation, she instantly came to her senses.
"Let's go say hello to Uncle Lizheng." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Qiaoer's seventy-six changed face and smiled helplessly.
said that he would go, Liu Qiaoer didn't say a word, and pulled Xu Xiaoxiao to walk in the direction where Liu Li was resting, and at this time, Liu Li was anxious about who would go to Anle Town to find out the situation.
"Uncle, will you think too much." Liu Mengzhou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his voice was rough and powerful.
Before Xu Xiaoren arrived, he had already heard Liu Mengzhou's loud voice, "There are more and more people infected with smallpox along the way, so it's better to let one person go and find out for the sake of safety." ”
Liu Lizheng, Liu Mengzhou and others were silent when they saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming, while Liu Dazhuang squatted on the ground and thought.
"I also agree, after all, there are a lot of us, and if something happens, it will be a pot." Liu Dazhuang pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Who should I send?" Liu Mengzhou bluntly said that Liu Lizheng was distressed in his heart, he was a rough man, and he never beat around the bush.
"I'll go with Qiao'er." Xu Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was unwilling to risk their lives to go to unknown areas, and at present, she was the only one who knew martial arts and medical skills and could cope with the crisis.
Liu Li was waving his hand at Xu Xiaoxiao and shook his head, "No, how can you two female dolls go on an adventure." ”
"Otherwise, I'll go with Mengzhou." After discussing with Liu Mengzhou, Liu Dazhuang looked at Liu Lizheng and said.
"Then it's up to you to go to Anle Town." Liu Lizheng sighed and agreed.
"But you must be safe."
"We'll take notice." Liu Qiao'er nodded obediently.
"Then hurry up and pack your bags and get ready to go." Liu Lizheng urged.
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, and returned to the donkey cart with Liu Qiao'er to pack her luggage.
said that they were packing their luggage, but in fact, they didn't have much to take, nothing more than bringing a cloth bag, and telling Liu Dahua that they were going to Anle Town first.
When Liu Dahua heard that the two girls were going to Anle Town, she looked sad, and her hands and feet were half a minute slower to pack their luggage.
"Mother, it's okay, it's only two or three quarters of an hour from here to Anle Town, and we can come back at night." Liu Qiao'er comforted while helping to pack her luggage.
"If you find something wrong, don't resist, come back directly." Having said that, Liu Dahua still couldn't rest assured, and reluctantly handed over the luggage to Liu Qiaoer and Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Grandma Liu, it's okay, there's no need to worry about me." Xu Xiaoxiao patted her chest, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Xu Xiaoxiao's funny posture made Liu Dahua couldn't help but smile, and the uneasiness in her heart was also reduced a little.
