Chapter 1164: Inquire about the situation
Faced with his son's doubts, Lu Baichuan patiently explained: "Now if you want to check these things, you have to start from other places, everything that can be hidden in the mountains has been hidden, and the other party will not let us know." ”
King Jing has been in trouble for so long, and the people of the court are also on the way here, even if the other party has the courage of a bear-hearted leopard, he doesn't dare to show it so blatantly, and he must have hidden everything that should be hidden through King Jing's affairs.
"So how are we going to find out?"
Lu Baichuan replied: "There is information where there are many people, and I will take you into the city to play at noon tomorrow." ”
The dog instantly became interested: "Okay! ”
When she went back, Jiang Jiuniang was still reading novels, and when she saw them, she asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Lu Baichuan glanced at his son and motioned for him to come.
The dog stepped forward and said, "Mother, Uncle Jingwang's situation is very bad, if we don't go, it is estimated that his life will be in danger!" In addition, we also heard a group of people say that Uncle Jing Wang was killed by them, saying that Uncle Jing Wang found out their secret, so he wanted to kill Uncle Jing Wang. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan, good guy, he really guessed correctly.
This man is really sensitive to a few things.
"It's good that people are still alive, it's not early, sleep first, and check the specific situation tomorrow, anyway, the people sent by the imperial court haven't arrived yet, and we still have plenty of time."
Jiang Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, as long as there was still one breath left, she would be able to save it, not to mention that they were all here now, so naturally they would not watch King Jing have an accident.
"Mmmm, that's what Daddy said, I'll go with Daddy tomorrow!"
"Okay, when the time comes, my mother will put on makeup for you, so that no one will recognize you."
Jiang Jiuniang rubbed his head, her eyes full of appreciation.
Such a young child can be so good, and it can be said that the dog is her proudest work so far.
"Is it the kind of makeup that my mother painted when we entered Jingzhou City?"
The dog's eyes lit up, and the anticipation was about to overflow.
Jiang Jiuniang tried hard to think about what kind of makeup she painted for everyone when she entered Jingzhou City.
Seeing that she couldn't remember, the dog reminded anxiously: "That's the kind of ...... The kind of ...... with a lot of injuries on his body."
"Oh, that!"
Jiang Jiuniang has the impression that it was the special effect injury makeup that was used to avoid the men's recruitment, and it is estimated that it will be a bit exaggerated now, but the whole similar is not impossible.
"Yes, my mother will give you a whole tomorrow!"
The dog was instantly happy, followed Lu Baichuan to the creek next to him to wash, and then the family of three went into the tent to rest.
The next day, under Jiang Jiuniang's encouragement, the father and son limped into the city as if they had completely changed their heads.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a way to lead the way with a fake truth, the two of them would have been chased out as beggars by the officers and soldiers defending the city.
After entering the city, the two looked at each other and quietly gave a thumbs up.
After that, the two of them found the most lively restaurant in the city to eat, and the second child of the restaurant had a good attitude, so he led them to the table in the corner and sat down, and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Just a few light side dishes."
It's only been two days, and I'm tired of eating wild meat.
The dog thought to himself, he and his father don't care, but his mother still has a little sister in her belly, so she must take care of her mother, and then she can come to the restaurant every day to pack a meal with meat and vegetables for her mother.
"Objective, please wait."
Xiao Er recommended a few refreshing side dishes, and was about to leave, but was pulled by Lu Baichuan, stuffed a few copper plates in his hand, and asked with a good attitude: "Little Second Brother, is there anything in this city that is recruiting?" We went to the city this time to find a job to do, otherwise the family would not be able to survive! “
Xiao Er's attitude was already good, but now he received the money, and the smile on his face became more real, and he said in a local accent: "Eh, you are outsiders, right?" It's not a pity that you want to find a job to do, we originally had work to do, but it didn't move some time ago, the house and the mountain collapsed, and a lot of people died. ”
The dog originally saw his father asking a little two, thinking that he shouldn't be able to ask anything, but he didn't expect that there was really news.
Lu Baichuan's acting skills exploded, and then asked: "Huh? We just came here because we had something to do here, why did we come here now and say no? So how can our family of three survive? The child still has one in his mother's belly, what can I do! ”
Xiao Er looked at Lu Baichuan's distressed appearance, and was very sympathetic, but the current form is like this, and he said very regretfully: "You can only go to other places to see, and although there is work to do in the mountains here, it doesn't seem to be a good errand, and you can't go home if you go, it's even more inappropriate to drag your family like you, so let's find something else to do." ”
After saying that, Xiao Er went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, leaving only the poor father and son staring at each other.
After eating, the father and son walked around the city, and the dog asked again, "Daddy, where are we going to inquire now?" ”
"Don't worry, take a turn first."
Lu Baichuan obviously has a lot of experience, although he didn't ask anything substantive in the restaurant just now, but at least he was sure that there were people working in this mountain, and it was very closed.
Being able to do things in the mountains is nothing more than that.
Either digging some secret passage to hide something, or mining, or raising troops like the king did before.
At present, if the possibility of raising troops can be ruled out, then only secret passages and mining remain.
It's either one or the other, or both.
Thinking so, he went to the place where the poor people of the city lived.
The collapse of the houses in the city is not very serious, but the people are still having a hard time.
Walking around the slums, I found that most of them were women and children, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all with bitter faces, and no one accosted them when they passed by.
"Auntie, do you know where there is work to make money?"
Lu Baichuan arrived at the door of a family, and an old woman was washing clothes, so he stepped forward to ask.
"Where else can there be work? My son went and didn't come back......."
The old woman cried before she finished speaking, and Lu Baichuan was anxious and hurriedly asked what was going on.
The old woman seemed to have just found a chance to vent, and said while crying: "Since the beginning of the first two years, the government has begun to recruit people to work in the mountains, and there can be two copper plates every day. I don't know what to do in that mountain, but in ten days and half a month, news will come that the dead man is dead, and my son is lucky, and he will be fine after two years. ”
"But who knew that this earth movement would bury all the people, and everyone would be able to come back...... This circle is useless for us, the old and the young in the family, there is no way to live, the government has no subsidies at all, and I don't know what to do with my family......
