Chapter 3 Escape Routes
"Sister-in-law, are you going to the county seat?"
Zhang saw two large baskets hanging on the horse's back, and saw that there seemed to be something in the basket.
Lin Chaoyan answered, went to unload the back basket on the horse, and handed the back basket containing grain to the sister-in-law Cheng, "Sister-in-law, this is some of the grain I bought in the county seat." ”
"Food is too expensive, and I can only buy it with the money I have."
Her mother is old, and these things of the Lin family were handed over to her sister-in-law ten years ago, and she is a daughter-in-law in the long house!
Cheng pulled the back basket and looked at it, there was salt, sugar, rice and noodles, and two large pieces of bacon, she said: "It's a lot, now the price of food is so expensive, it's already very good to buy these."
In recent years, there have been natural disasters in this place, and the price of food is one price a day, which is very expensive!
"Sister-in-law, if you hadn't bought this horse, I guess you could have bought more grain." Xu couldn't help but interject.
She didn't understand what her sister-in-law was buying this horse for?
Lin Chaoyan smiled, "Third sister-in-law, I didn't buy this horse, it was sent by a friend in my capital." ”
Anyway, the Lin family doesn't know the details and temperament of the original owner, so she is right.
Besides, how can the original owner have the money to buy a horse! Not to mention buying a horse, I don't even have money to buy a donkey.
The three sisters-in-law of the original owner have always felt that the original owner is very rich, although she is not a real daughter, but she has lived in the General's Mansion for more than ten years, even if she hides, she can hide a little, right?
The fact is that no, the original owner is very backbone, and when he left, except for a few changes of clothes, the other original owners didn't bring anything.
Xu Shi laughed dryly when he heard this, "That's the case, sister-in-law thinks you bought it!" ”
Also, such a good horse, if you buy it, you will have to pay a lot of silver!
Xu also wanted to ask Lin Chaoyan some questions, such as did your friend in the capital send you some silver, and what was in the small box on the back basket?
But before the words could be spoken, she was stopped by the eyes of her sister-in-law Cheng.
Xu obediently shut up.
Lin Chaoyan didn't say anything more, took out a tarpaulin and steamed buns wrapped in oiled paper from the back basket on the other side, and handed them to the second sister-in-law Zhang, "I bought some steamed buns in the county." ”
As soon as he heard that there were steamed buns to eat, Xiao Wulang couldn't help it, and took his mother Xu's hand and shook it, "Mother, I want to eat steamed buns." ”
Saburo Shiro on the side couldn't help but swallow his saliva, buns! They haven't eaten steamed buns in a long time.
Lin Chaoyan touched Xiao Golang's head melon, and said warmly, "Eat, I bought a lot, everyone has a share!" ”
It's really amazing, she was an orphan in her previous life, and she had no other relatives except her master, but this life is good, her father, mother, brothers and sisters, and even her nephew.
There are several, the oldest of them are seventeen years old!
It's wonderful!
"Okay, let your sister-in-law cook the meal, you go back to the house with me to pack up your things, you should have seen the notice posted outside the city when you came back from the county seat, right?"
"We've got to pack up our things, maybe we'll leave in a moment." Zhao pulled Lin Chaoyan into the house.
Listening to the head of Dahuai Village next door, the notice was posted by the county lord three days ago, although their Yunshui County is far away from the border, almost a month's journey, but the march to fight, the barbarians are riding horses, walking on four legs, they have two legs, can they compare to the barbarians?
They also blame themselves, because the distance from Shangshui Village to Yunshui County is long, and the villagers generally do not go to Yunshui County, but go to the nearby Qingshi Town to buy things.
"Got it, mother." Lin Chaoyan responded, and Zhao touched his daughter's hair lovingly.
It's been half a month since her little girl came back, and her father and mother called, but she didn't usually talk to them much, so she locked herself in the room.
But today, the little girl went to the county seat and seemed to be a little different from before, she became more talkative and laughing.
I also bought a lot of food for my family!
It seems that the daughter accepts them from the bottom of her heart.
That's a good thing!
Zhao's brows stretched slightly!
Under the big apricot tree at the door, Lin Dayou was discussing the escape route with the villagers, the barbarians were coming, and they definitely couldn't take the official road, they had to take the small road.
Otherwise, you will soon be caught up by the barbarians.
They plan to go to Yuzhou to settle down, Yuzhou is close to the capital, I heard that there is a perennial wind and rain and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is a suitable place to settle down, unlike them Liangzhou natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the barbarians next door also come to rob them from time to time.
"However, if the village chief goes to Yuzhou, the food we bring is not enough to eat!" A man in the crowd asked quickly.
After several years of natural disasters, the crops in the field were not harvested, and there was not much surplus food at home.
I heard that Sun Chongguang, the youngest son of the old Sun family, opened his mouth and suggested: "Village chief, why don't you go to Yuzhou, go to Xuzhou, which is closer, and everyone can have a stutter when you go to the place early, and also prepare for the winter!" ”
It's mid-August now, and if they walk on the road for a few more months, it's winter, and they will freeze to death on the road before they reach their destination.
"Yes, yes, Sun Xiucai is right! Let's go to Xuzhou. ”
"We don't have much food left, so we can't go to Yuzhou, but we can go to Xuzhou."
"My family is also ......"
Someone in the crowd echoed Sun Chongguang's words and whispered underneath.
But the old man Lin on the stage was angry enough, "Go to Xuzhou?" You are not afraid of the barbarians hitting Xuzhou, the food is not enough, we can take the mountain road, the wild vegetables and wild fruits in the forests of Yunwu Mountain are abundant, and you can also save food, you will definitely be able to go to Yuzhou! ”
"Village chief, are you going to take the mountain road? Into the Cloud Mountain? An old man in the village asked with trembling hands and shocked!
Lin Da nodded, "Yes!" ”
The old man hurriedly said, "No, no! I can't enter the Yunwu Mountain, I heard that there are man-eating mandrills, ghosts, jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains of the older generation, and people can't get out if they go in! ”
Yunwu Mountain is in the east direction of Qingshi Town, the mountain peak stretches for thousands of miles, the forest in the mountain is deep and the valley is secluded, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, listen to the people near Yunwu Mountain, every night in the Yunwu Mountain forest will send out a burst of strange screams!
It's scary!
Not to mention them, even the people near the Cloud Mountain didn't dare to go in, let alone walk through the Cloud Mountain forest.
"That Cloud Mountain can't be entered! Let's take a detour! ”
"Yes, don't go to Yuzhou, the village chief, let's go to Xuzhou! Close! ”
.........
The villagers at the door were arguing endlessly, and their opinions were not unanimous, and Lin Chaoyan found a great event here!
"My good man, a whole thousand taels of silver tickets! There's also a map.,The map of this place is so detailed! ”
Lin Chaoyan kissed a few silver tickets, then put the silver tickets into the space, and then carefully looked at the map in his hand, this map is the map of the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't know who made it, anyway, the icon on it is recorded in great detail!
A county and a town, and a few villages in the middle, all the mountains are clearly marked!
It's comparable to navigation!
These two things were found in the wooden box where the original owner had packed his clothes, and there was a mezzanine on the lid of the wooden box, and she opened it to see that these two things were placed inside.
This wooden box was used to pack clothes by her adoptive mother when the original owner came back, and she thought of what the other party instructed when the original owner came back, saying that if she couldn't live in the countryside in the future, she could come to the capital to find her father, and what did she say to let her watch the box tightly.
The original owner thought it was a polite remark, but she didn't expect her adoptive mother to say the truth.
It's money and maps, and the original owner's adoptive mother is really good to her! I like this daughter from the bottom of my heart, even if it's fake, I like it! When the biological child hurts!
No wonder the heroine hates the original owner so much, even if the original owner hasn't done anything to hurt her!
"Wait!" Lin Chaoyan looked at the two words Xuzhou in the map, and suddenly remembered a big event!
