Chapter Eighty-Four: The Women and Children of Yanzhou Who Escaped

On the hill, a team of horses is stationed here

Over the past few days, more and more real and false bandits have ambushed them on the road, and when they finally arrived at the place, and when they found a piece of land to rest, in front of them, another person who looked weak and couldn't help but hold a spatula shouted there, "You guys! Don't go any further!"

When she spoke, everyone's eyes were on her, and some people doubted their ears, so they quickly took it out, wiped their eyes again, and looked up and down.

The woman crossed her waist and pointed at each of them with a spatula in her hand: "Look, I'm just starving to the point where my chest is gone, warn you to turn back quickly, and don't think about going back any further."

Lin Yanzhi, who was in the carriage, heard this and walked out of the carriage.

"Yo, why are there still women, where are you from? Hurry back and leave with your guards."

Lin Yanzhi looked at the tall woman in front of her, stepped forward and pressed her spatula, tilted her head and took her hand, and asked with a toothy smile, "This sister, we came here with great difficulty, why are you stopping here?"

The woman looked at her clean clothes and withdrew her hand embarrassedly: "Little girl, Yanzhou City is now smoky, and you are just sending money and people to those people when you go."

"What do you mean by that, girl?"

Qin Tianze also got out of the carriage, he beckoned to Lin Yanzhi, and gave her a letter written with His Royal Highness personally opened, Lin Yanzhi opened it suspiciously, and what contained it was another envelope that had not yet been opened, which was written by Yanzhi himself.

She put the letter in her arms, turned her head to look at the woman, and saw that she Qin Tianze was stunned, and couldn't help coughing.

Then the woman came to her senses, "Your brother and sister will listen to me, and we will escape."

"Brother and sister?"

"You guys?"

Qin Tianze and Lin Yanzhi asked at the same time, both of them were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other and then went back.

The woman looked at Qin Tianze: "You two are not brother and sister, are you husband and wife, if so, why aren't you on the same horse?"

At this time, Qin Tianan, who was on the tree on the side, jumped down and said with a smile: "The girl is right, my young master and young lady don't look alike, it's the first time I heard someone guess right, that's why I'm so surprised."

Qin Tianze pursed his lips, glanced at Qin Tianan, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but the woman turned around and said, "You will know if you come with me." It doesn't matter if they follow or not, they stick the spatula back into their belts and walk on their own.

Lin Yanzhi rolled her eyes, smiled very badly and said to Qin Tianze, "Brother, let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Yanzhi, I think it's better to put a name in front of these two words." Qin Tianze lowered his eyes and whispered.

"Ugh...... Brother Tianze?" After Lin Yanzhi finished speaking, she got goosebumps all over her body, and it was better to just call him by his name like last time.

Qin Tianze nodded very happily and said softly, "Well, let's go."

They followed the woman through a winding mountain path, and through a cave they saw several simple houses made of wood, and a vegetable garden with only a few small sprouts.

Then several ladies and children surrounded the woman.

"Why did Ah Qin come back so soon?"

"Let's sit down and drink some water first, Ah Qin has worked hard."

"Sister Aqin, grandma, she slept longer today than yesterday."

When the woman named Ah Qin heard what the child said, she immediately went into one of the rooms.

Lin Yanzhi and they followed behind her.

There was an old man curled up on a small bed made of grass, her withered hand with little meat left, and when she heard Ah Qin call her, she slowly raised her up, opened her mouth with difficulty, and said, "Ah Qin...... They...... It's up to you, kids...... The children...... Take care of it."

Ah Qin secretly wiped away the tears that slipped quietly, sniffed, and said with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the little ones, so that you can see them grow up, marry wives and have children. Grandma, I found out yesterday, the sunset on this mountain is beautiful, you can rest now, and when you wake up...... I ......."

She couldn't hold back another tear, choked up and said, "I'll take you to see it."

Lin Yanzhi looked at the old man's appearance of more air than air in, knowing that her time was running out, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but turn her head sideways.

Suddenly, her eyes were dark, and she heard Qin Tianze say in her ear, "Yan Zhi, let's go out first."

She took his hand away and nodded.

"Did you also escape from Yanzhou?"

As soon as they stepped out, an eldest lady asked curiously, and then other people gathered around them one after another.

"Auntie, our ancestors are from Yanzhou, and now they want to move back, so they sent us to come over and have a look."

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately shook her hand: "Ouch, then you better go back, Yanzhou can't go now!" She looked at Brother Qin Ze, "Especially your brother and this ......."

Qin Tianan put his arm around Lin Yanzhi's shoulders and said solemnly, "I'm Miss's personal bodyguard, but I'll be in trouble next month."

The eldest lady paused, and for the first time saw the man say so happily that he was a wealthy person, and then smiled: "Then the eldest lady will say congratulations to you first, but in this case, you can't go in, otherwise you may have to be widowed, little girl."

Qin Tianze originally wanted to debunk it out loud, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "How can you say this, aunt? But what does it have to do with digging up mountains?"

"Ugh...... Isn't it, all the adult men have been arrested, even my father, who is in his sixties!"

"Catch? Didn't they attract men who went there of their own free will?"

The other lady said angrily and sadly, "Silver grain? Voluntarily? Yes, everyone went at the beginning, and after taking it once or twice, it was gone, and it was just a little bit of food, no matter how much you saved to eat, it was only enough for more than half a month, and how to do it if you couldn't eat enough for the physical work of digging mountains? After that, they took the piece of paper with our handprints when we first went to receive food, and came to arrest people, saying what kind of deed, we didn't know a few words, and we said that we couldn't get it without handprints, so we all beat it, who knows ......."

"My father didn't go, and he didn't make any handprints, but he was still caught by the head." The eldest lady at the beginning said.

"Damn!" Lin Yanzhi couldn't help but scold, "Then why did you hide here? According to you, they only want men."

"No, they took my mother away!"

Lin Yanzhi looked down, and a little boy with only hatred in his eyes pulled the hem of her skirt, looked up and shouted at her.

She squatted down, rubbed his withered yellow hair, and when she picked him up, she found that the weight was so light that it was almost like holding a feather, so she unconsciously took a deep breath and blinked her eyes twice before asking, "Can you tell my sister that you know what they are doing with your mother?"

"I don't know, I secretly followed, only to see my mother being pressed on my body, I went to beat the bad guy, and the bad guy threw me out, and then ...... I never saw my mother again." He lowered his head and whispered, "...... I miss them so much."

The lady sighed, "Alas...... Some are as beautiful as the little tiger mother, just ...... But more of them want to arrest us and make our fathers, brothers, and children obedient, and only when we succeed in escaping can they find a chance to escape with them."

"So where are they all locked up?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I know." Ah Qin walked out, "I went to my brother secretly."

Ah Qin wondered, "But what are you asking these for, should it be ......" Her eyes widened suddenly, "No, you better go back to your place, there is no need to take this risk for us who don't know each other."

Lin Yanzhi put down the little boy and said to Ah Qin, "What are you and us, we are all the people of Great Qin. Moreover, we also knew that there was a problem here in Yanzhou, so we rushed here."

"Yan Zhi is right, Miss Ah Qin, would you like to go with us?" Qin Tianze asked.

"I would like to ......" Before she finished speaking, Ah Qin looked at the others and shook her head slightly, "I promise."

Grandma, take care of them, and if I go with you, then they ......."

The lady said, "Ah Qin, if you want to go, go away, my leg is already healed, you can also go to find fruit to eat, you don't have to worry about us, and besides, you are not abandoning us, you are going to save them, we should be worried about you."

"Yes, Ah Qin, and these people, don't force yourself, of course it's good that they can escape, they can't escape...... That's fate, so don't go and put yourselves on it."

The little boy listened, and also clenched his fists and said to Lin Yanzhi, "Beautiful sister, don't go, when I grow up, I will go back to avenge my father."

Lin Yanzhi smiled, "Your name is Xiaohu, right? Thank you for saying I'm pretty, but we have to go." She said to Ah Qin again, "They are right, Ah Qin, you stay, tell us the location, and we will find it ourselves."

"No, I'll go with you, it's very hidden, and it's hard for you to find it."

Qin Tianze nodded: "Then bother Miss Aqin to go back to the carriage with us first and change your body." Rest assured, you'll be fine with us."

Ah Qin's wheat-colored face flushed a little: "Childe, can you wait a little longer, I think...... Take grandma to watch the sunset before I go."

"I'm going too, pretty sister, I know where my mother is."

Lin Yanzhi looked at Qin Tianze, and after getting his approval, she said to Ah Hu, "Okay, sister and you will go to save your mother, those people will definitely arrest me when they see me, and I will ...... when the time comes."

"No."

"No."

Before she finished speaking, she received two negatives, and she tilted her head to look at the Qin Tianze brothers.

"Then I'll go." Aqin said.

Suddenly, everyone was silent, even Xiaohu lowered his head, stared at the ground, and didn't dare to say what was in his heart.

Ah Qin knew what their reaction was, and she was indeed unbeautiful and tanned......

Qin Tianze pondered it and said, "You and Xiaohu both know the location, you can't be together, in case you ......."

Suddenly, Lin Yanzhi walked in front of Qin Tianan, lifted her toes, stretched out her hands, and wrapped her neck around him.

After he came back to his senses, he looked at Qin Tianze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up and said, "Yan Zhi, why did you suddenly become a big ......?"

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the mask on his face was held by Lin Yanzhi in her hand, and her hair was also put down by her.

She looked at him and nodded, and the others did the same.

"So you're also a pretty sister?" Xiaohu asked in surprise.

"Do I look like a woman?" Qin Tianan rolled his eyes.

Unexpectedly, everyone nodded in unison.

"Are you trying to ......?"
