Chapter 1039: A Grim Situation
Hearing her words, the couple became even more frightened, how could there be officers and soldiers involved, but thinking of what He Zao said that her eldest uncle used to be an official, they were relieved.
Chang Facai carried dry firewood out of the mountain, and did not come back until almost evening, and the person was very tired and soaked with sweat.
When he asked, he hadn't eaten for a day, so Zhou hurriedly poured water for him, and went to the kitchen to fill him with a bowl of porridge and two sticky cakes.
He ate it all in one go, and then said slowly: "That's it, I went to the county seat, the city was really closed, the city gate was very strict, and I also overheard a few official messengers, saying that they were going to catch a female snitch, and the city wall also pasted the face of the female snitch As for the wooden lady to explain to me, I arrived at the place, and sure enough, I saw a flower on the wall, but I didn't see anyone I waited there until noon, and suddenly there was an official messenger to drive us away, I saw the leader I saw last night, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly avoidedThey didn't recognize me, but there were people guarding the gates, and I didn't dare to go anywhere else, so I waited until evening, when they were all gone, and I came back."
Explaining the matter clearly in one breath, He Zao frowned slightly, but still said words of thanks: "Thank you for your hard work, today's things sound very dangerous, fortunately, you are clever and escaped this catastrophe"
She guessed correctly, Father-in-law Chi and the others were really still in the county seat, and there were officers and soldiers involved, so it can be seen that they had come up with a secret decree from above, but in this way, they had to mobilize the army, and the fourth brother should have also gotten the news
What about Ji Hui, what will he do?
It's Ji Yue, who has become a target
Father-in-law Chi and they have no reasonable reason to search the city, so they probably designated Ji Yue as a female snitch In this way, after they separated yesterday, she was safe, and she also marked the agreed place, but now it is not necessarily
He Zao thought about it carefully, and then asked again: "Do you see the image of the female snitch clearly?"
Chang Facai nodded: "It's beautiful, but it's different from the average girl's family, what to say, it's just looking, looking special" He scratched the back of his head, unable to think of the specific adjective.
He Zao helped him answer: "Very sharp and indifferent"
"Yes, yes, that's what I feel like a female snitch" Chang Facai nodded vigorously, and said: "Mu Niangzi, you know her"
Zhou also looked at it curiously.
After a little hesitation, He Zao showed a wry smile: "Yes, if I guess correctly, the so-called female snitch should be my maid, she has martial arts, I can escape this time It depends on her, presumably those people also know this, so they will treat her as a female snitch and search for her all over the city."
Chang Facai and Zhou's faces have turned pale.
He Zao glanced at them and whispered: "I know what you think in your hearts, don't worry, now those people's focus is on the city, but it is safe here, I will wait for the injury on my foot to heal, and leave immediately, you can rest assured, I will never affect you."
Chang Facai smiled reluctantly, then turned his head and went out.
Zhou also glanced at He Zao suspiciously, thought about it, but sighed again and went out.
They all probably understand now that He Zao's identity is not simple.
He Zao was holding the little bun while thinking in his heart, the best way now is to wait for the fourth brother and Ji Hui to come and find them, she believes that they will not let go of any clues, but the consequence of doing so is likely to be that they will not wait for the rescue but wait for the enemy.
The second way is to meet with Ji Yue, let Ji Yue protect her, and the three of them go to Huaiqing Mansion. However, even if He Zao didn't want to admit it in his heart, he also knew that Ji Yue at this time was not safe, but if she was only one person, with her force, she would definitely be able to protect herself, and if she and Xiao Baozi were added, it would drag her down
So He has already given up the idea of converging with Ji Yue.
The last way is that after she recovers from her injuries, she dresses up in disguise and takes a small bun to find reinforcements. But there can also be various dangers along the way.
She was a weak woman with a child on the road alone, no matter how you look at it, it feels too weird.
He Zao sighed slightly, a touch of helplessness appeared on his face, could he only wait here
Even this small mountain village is not necessarily safe
He Zao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to wait for the injury to heal, and go to the county seat in person to see the situation and then make a judgment.
After that, for four or five days in a row, Chang's family did not go to the county seat, but only heard from the neighbors who went to the village that the city was now closed as before, and those who entered had to go through strict body searches, and some had to be forced to pay protection money.
He Zao felt strange when he heard it, the city was closed for four or five consecutive days, and the situation was too grim, and it seemed that it was not necessary for the sake of a season and her
But she and Xiao Baozi had to stay in the house and not be discovered, so they only guessed in their hearts.
After eight days, her ankle was finally healed, and although she was still walking a little sloping, she was basically fine.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go into the city to find out what was going on.
Chang's family was very worried, and they came to persuade her one by one, but He Zao knew that it was definitely not the best way to sit and wait here.
She had to find out what was going on, where Ji Yue was, whether she was okay and whether Father-in-law Chi and those people were still staying in the county seat
The next morning, she solemnly handed the little bun to Zhou, who promised very seriously: "Don't worry, I've been with Xiao An for a few days, I have feelings for him, and I will never let anything happen to him."
He Zao thanked him again and again, and was taken by Chang Facai to the discovery of the county.
They have all discussed, and Chang Facai will go to the county seat to sell dry firewood and buy some daily necessities, and He has already used this time to find out the matter.
When I came to the gate of the county seat, the review was very strict.
He Zao smeared himself black, leaving only a pair of big white teeth, wrapped in a thick veil on his head, wearing straw sandals on his feet, and Wei'er with her back bent, and she was a teenager old, no different from an ordinary peasant woman, so at the gate of the city, it was easy to enter the city.
The city is much more depressed than it looked before.
He Zao noticed that some shops were closed, and the small vendors were nowhere to be seen, and even the occasional pedestrians were in a hurry.
Chang Facai also noticed that something was wrong, and he whispered: "It's strange, when I came here a few days ago, it didn't seem to be so desolate here."
He Zao said: "You go to sell firewood first, and then we will go out of the city in the middle of the afternoon and wait in the suburbs."
Chang Facai nodded and went to the vegetable market with dry firewood.
Today, because they have to take care of He Zao's leg strength, they came a little late, and it was almost morning.
He Zao went in the other direction.
