Chapter 20 Children Have Two Faces

The outline of the county town gradually became clear with Han Xiaoguang's shout.

The two-person high city wall barely blocked the houses in the city, leaving only a variety of eaves for people to watch, whether it was the city wall or the eaves, they were all full of vicissitudes and obsolescence.

The plaque above the city gate reads three words: Reed County.

Below the gates were a large crowd of panicked residents.

Some of them pulled carts like the Bai family, some carried large bags and small bags, some held children, and some supported the elderly, pushing and shouting and fled from the county town in a panic.

Some ran away from their shoes, some lost their babies, some pulled the wrong people, and some took the opportunity to steal property.

People are crowding people, crying and shouting, which is more than the previous scene of the four villages fleeing.

Looking at this scene, Bai Lu felt that the day was even hotter.

Li Qingnian glanced at Han Xiaoguang, Han Xiaoguang waved his hand at Song Qian beside him, and Song Qian patted a younger child on the side.

It's not that he bullied people, who let this kid stand on the top of the tree and shoot arrows in the human-wolf battle just now, he is the most decent person who looks like now.

The kid didn't hesitate, he had already pulled down the masked black scarf, which looked not much bigger than Bai Ke, his skin was a little dark, his eyebrows were slightly sparse, but his eyes were very resolute.

He put the wolf meat in his hand on the ground, and hurried forward, stopping an aunt who was amiable and less flustered in comparison.

"Auntie, what's going on? The county seat won't let you live? Ling Zhang's tone was puzzled and frightened, as if he was really a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

During Ling Zhang's journey, Han Xiaoguang commanded everyone to hide themselves by taking advantage of the mountain.

After all, such a large group of people, all holding so much wolf meat, it is too easy to cause riots.

The Bai family and Li Qingnian stood in place with a loud voice.

Although there were some blood stains on each person's body, they looked like paupers.

The wolf meat was again put in the cart and covered, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The aunt was carrying a big cloth bag in one hand and a childish child in the other, and she didn't even have time to wipe the sweat that was oozing from her forehead, and she was walking out with the crowd, and finally went out of the city, ready to go to a relative's house, when she saw a well-dressed child running to her.

"Why are you running around alone? Go back and tell your lord, the county lord has been beaten to death, and there are bandits in the city, Lord Wu Zhu said that the world is about to be in chaos, hurry up and pack up and go to another safe place! ”

The aunt was afraid that the child would not understand, so she instructed a few more words: "The officials and masters have run away, there are bandits everywhere, don't go in again." Where's your family? It's dangerous to be in the city. ”

A frightened look immediately appeared on Ling Zhang's face, and he turned around and pointed to the Bai family who was standing not far away: "Where are they, we just met a large group of bad guys, and they are bullying us!" ”

The aunt glanced at it, sighed, and touched Ling Zhang's head distressedly: "This world is really going to be chaotic!" But it's a blessing not to be in the city, go back and tell your father, don't go in, it's messy inside. ”

"I see, thank you, auntie." Ling Zhang thanked him in a crisp voice, and helped the aunt carry the cloth bag, and then ran back again.

"There are thieves in it, the one who can do the main thing is dead, and there is a ghost who pretends to be a ghost and disturbs people's hearts." Ling Zhang ran to Li Qingnian and summed it up succinctly, his voice was much calmer, far from the appearance of the child who didn't know anything about the world just now.

In this way, he looks like a little old man.

"Then we won't go in this county, right?" Han Xiaoguang asked Li Qingnian, and then stretched out his head to look at the situation in front of him.

The people who dragged their families were still pouring out, and some of them were almost there.

"Send a few people to take out the official seal from the county office." Li Qingnian pondered for a moment, opened his mouth and commanded, and did not care that the Bai family was on the side.

Han Xiaoguang's eyes lit up: "That's right! How I didn't expect that! ”

After speaking, he turned around and personally led a few people around the crowd and ran away.

"We're here to stay?" Bai Lu listened to their conversation ten out of ten.

In the book, Yan Ya took everyone not on this road, and did not pass through the county seat, so Bai Lu didn't know what the situation was in the city.

But if you can not go in, it is naturally the best.

But she was afraid that Li Qingnian would have to wait for Han Xiaoguang here, so it would be too much of a waste of time.

She still has a mission.

Bai Haisheng knew that Li Qingnian's identity was unusual, and when he heard that people were so bold that they wanted to go to the county government to steal the official seal, his forehead, which was already sweating, was sweating like water.

Bai Cong and Bai Ke admired Li Qingnian a little because of this.

There are so many obedient guards, and they dare to go to the county government to grab the official seal, which is really admirable and yearning.

In their hearts, the county government is the same place as the palace compound.

Although it is said that the county lord is dead, and no one is in charge of it, how to say it, it is also a county office.

"No, let's keep walking, they'll catch up." Li Qingnian looked at the fleeing people who were getting closer and closer, and ordered everyone to find a place to hide.

He didn't want to be too glaring.

"Shall we go north, then?" Bai Lu said tentatively.

It's already afternoon, the sun is westerly, corresponding to the direction of the county seat, and the north is just the direction of the aunt's departure, there are not many people, and there is no need to enter the county office.

"Both." Li Qingnian still didn't want to deal with Bai Lu.

He couldn't understand why Bai Lu, who was pleasing to him, had behaved so differently these days as usual.

It's not that he cares about this girl.

It's just that this person has changed a little abnormally, and he wants to figure it out.

Bai Lu didn't hear the displeasure in Li Qingnian's words, in her opinion, this person is always so unlucky.

Only in front of other people, he looks like a stupid and sweet person.

So she turned her head to look at Bai Haisheng again, Bai Haisheng didn't have any objections, although he wanted to propose to part ways with Li Qingnian and the others here, but thinking that there are always many people in troubled times, he couldn't say anything.

I hope that their stealing of the official seal will not be exposed, so he doesn't want to go to prison.

Bai Lu then went to the north first, followed by the Bai family's father and son and Li Qingnian.

The rest of the guards had been hidden again, so as not to be overcrowded.

However, although there were only five of them, they all had blood on their bodies, and Bai Haisheng looked fierce and vicious, so the people who escaped from the county town walked around when they saw them.

There was someone who had the courage to stare at them, but Bai Haisheng glared back fiercely.

Bai Lu's task was half completed, they just had to walk north slowly and arrive at the Canglang River on time.

But the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Why is it getting hotter?
