Chapter 32: Out of the city overnight
He Jiuniang quietly retreated, looked for a room with no one to go, and found a room that was completely different from other side rooms, with a more luxurious decoration than it, if you guessed correctly, this is the room of Mother Qian.
There was no one in the room, and He Jiuniang was not in a hurry, so she searched in front of the dresser for a while and got a lot of treasures.
There were more than a dozen silver tickets for one hundred taels, as well as some gold, silver and jewelry, and He Jiuniang unceremoniously put them all into the space.
This trip originally wanted to teach Mother Qian a lesson, so that she didn't dare to trouble the Lu family again, but now He Jiuniang suddenly felt that there was no need to teach a lesson.
The greatest lesson for a money-grubbing person is to take all her money!
He Jiuniang smiled, left the room, and prepared to return the same way.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I heard someone next door shouting: "My lord, it's not good, there are refugees climbing the west wall to enter the city, and the west side is chaotic, I'm afraid this city gate will not be able to stand it!" ”
He Jiuniang felt shocked, thinking that she would simply make this matter bigger, so she quickly went to the backyard and set a fire, and then slipped away.
When she went back all the way, He Jiuniang did see that the city was beginning to be chaotic, and there were officers and soldiers everywhere patrolling with torches, trying to find out the refugees who had sneaked in.
When she arrived at the Lu family camp, she didn't care about anything else, and said directly to Boss Lu: "Big brother, wake everyone up, there are refugees who are starting to make trouble, it's dangerous here, go to the north city gate first, it should open the door in advance, let's leave as soon as possible!" ”
The refugees are by no means one or two people making a rebellion, they can make such a big move, they must be in a gang, they climbed in from the west city wall, and they are likely to come to the south of the city to open the city gate, and even if the Lu family can survive, the property and food on their bodies will definitely be robbed.
Boss Lu was really ready to take turns to rest, as soon as he heard this, his drowsiness disappeared in an instant, even if He Jiuniang didn't explain it clearly, I don't know how she knew, anyway, she just believed him very much, and went directly to call the men.
He Jiuniang was responsible for waking up the female dependents, the older children woke up and followed, and the smaller ones carried or hugged, and a group of people went to the north gate in a panic.
"What's going on? Why is it messing up? ”
Old man Lu had a chicken nest on his head, and when he walked forward, he didn't forget to ask He Jiuniang about the situation.
"I don't know the specifics, I just went out for convenience, and when I saw someone coming in from the city wall, and went to someone's house to grab something, I hurried back to call everyone."
He Jiuniang had already thought of a rhetoric, anyway, she went out to use the excuse of waking up at night, and it was just as easy to use now.
Sun rarely didn't speak, but in his heart he felt that the third daughter-in-law was really blessed, and she could find the danger this night and take their family to escape in advance, which could be regarded as another escape.
Qianzhou City is still very large, and it took an hour and a half for a group of people to rush from the south of the city to the north of the city in a hurry, while the other refugees did not come here, and it was safe for the time being.
Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate thought that there was some fierce beast chasing behind this family, and stepped forward to ask: "Why do you guys run around without sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
"Official, something is wrong!"
He Jiuniang spoke first, pretending to be very scared: "There are refugees in the south and west of the city, and the chaos is not good, our family originally lived in the south of the city, and when we saw those people rioting, we didn't want to get involved, so we came here to rest, and we will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, and ask the official to do a good job, and make it convenient." ”
As she spoke, He Jiuniang took out a small silver ingot of five taels and stuffed it to him, and when the officers and soldiers saw it, the people who could take out so much money at will naturally not be ordinary refugees, they should be some kind of squire or something, otherwise they would not have fled with so many family members.
"Riots in the south of the city? What's going on? ”
The soldier was also anxious in an instant, if this was a big trouble, it would not end well.
Another soldier said: "No matter what the chaos is, we have to wait for someone to inform us, and we must not mess with ourselves." ”
The man said, "In that case, find a place for yourselves, and don't get in our way." ”
The soldiers defending the city had gained benefits and had other troubles, so they did not embarrass them, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sharp-eyed people saw that He Jiuniang's shot was five taels of silver, and knew that the Lu family was really developed, so they were more determined to follow the pace of the Lu family, and the Lu family was very satisfied with eating meat.
"Let's get some rest, everyone! I'm tired enough in the middle of the night! ”
Old man Lu let out a breath of turbid air and sat on the ground.
It's all too old to run like this, it's too much of a test of physical fitness!
Worse than him were a few injured, such as Lu Daping and Zhang Song, who still took the Lu family's carriage over, although they were huddled together and the wounds hurt, but it was better to let them walk by themselves.
A large group of people sat on the ground and gasped, thirsty and did not dare to drink water, this water was still bought by Lu Boss and a few people during the day, it was expensive, and it had to be saved.
Originally, they still had some water left, and the drought was not very serious all the way to Anzhou, and they should be able to find water along the way, but just in case, Boss Lu still took the initiative to fill up several water tanks, and everyone was grateful to Boss Lu again.
I thought I could take a good rest, but who knew that after a while, officers and soldiers rode over to report: "There is a riot in the south of the city, open the city gate, and let the stranded people out of the city as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, He Jiuniang's eyes lit up, and what she was waiting for was this time.
"Let's pack up our things and leave, if it's really messed up here, it's going to be troublesome."
As soon as He Jiuniang spoke, the Lu family was ready to go again, and as soon as the city gate opened, they quickly went out of the city.
But they didn't stop, they went all the way to Anzhou, there was a riot in Qianzhou City, and the surrounding area was not safe, so the farther away the better.
As for Fengyun Building, they were too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally they couldn't come to trouble the Lu family again.
Qianzhou City is a boundary, the south is full of refugees, and it is chaotic, but the north is relatively better, and some capable refugees can come out, and all the way to the north, the drought is not too serious, and the trees on the road have some original colors.
It is precisely because of this that it is much safer in comparison, at least not the kind of green light that everyone encounters on the road.
The Lu family and his party walked all night and met other refugees, but they were all fine.
When the sun rose, Leizi sat on the ground and hummed: "I can't walk, I really can't walk!" My mother, my leg is going to break! ”
He was the eldest child in the family, and he didn't have a carriage all the way, so he relied on two legs, and he followed the adults all night, and only hummed until now, which was already very good.
The girl followed closely behind, and sat on the ground and did not get up.
Although Lotus also came all the way, she felt that her legs were not her own, but she knew that she was not a child of the Lu family, and it was not easy for the Lu family to take her in, she didn't want to cause trouble to the Lu family anymore, so she didn't say a single tired word.
