Chapter 101 Pirates

Almost the moment Lu Shili jumped on the donkey cart, the donkey cart sped off.

  After a while, Jiang Tangtang recovered from the panic, "What's going on?"

  Lu Shili clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's pirates!"

  Jiang Tangtang thought about the boxes of weapons he found in the cave last time. , suddenly his eyebrows twitched, could it be that someone was colluding with pirates?

  She subconsciously looked at Lu Shiyan, and at the same time, Lu Shiyan also looked back at her.

  Obviously, the two thought of going together.

  At this time, Lu Shili was still in anger and self-blame, "I was afraid that my mother and the others were in danger, and I couldn't save them when I saw the villagers being slaughtered."

  The whip in Lu Shiyan's hand was raised even more.

  When several people returned to Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi was already in chaos.

  Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming back, Mrs. Su, as if she had found a backbone, pulled Lu Shiyan tightly and said, "What should I do?"

  Lu Shiyan comforted his mother and said to Lu Shili, "Look at the family, I'll go find Manager Xia. ."

  But before Lu Shiyan went out, Manager Xia came over first.

  "Manager Xia, have pirates come to rob Zhuangzi before?" Lu Shiyan asked.

  Manager Xia said: "I'm coming too, but I don't rob villages much. I mostly go to Quchun County in Xili to rob property. After the robbery, Yang Fan ran away."

  "What about Raoying County?" Jiang Tangtang is now The biggest concern is the safety of my family.

  "The city wall in Raoying County is stronger than that in Quchundu, Xili. In addition, General Song's family has stronger defenses in Raoying County. Those pirates don't dare to attack Raoying County."

  "Then let's go . Why don't you go to the county seat to hide for a while?" Su asked anxiously.

  "I came to you just because I wanted to discuss this matter with you." Manager Xia said, "But we're afraid something might happen on the road, so we'd better go to the city as a team."

  "What about the villagers?" Lu Shiyan went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. , I have never been a deserter. Although he is no longer a general, he is not willing to just run away without a fight.

  "There is a cave in the back mountain."

  Manager Xia only said this. Obviously, he no longer cared about whether the cave could be hidden or whether the family's belongings could be saved.

  "Shi Yan, mother knows that you can't leave the villagers alone, but can you think about it for me and the children?"

  Mrs. Su anxiously grabbed Lu Shiyan and cried: "You went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, your father We even lost our lives on the battlefield, but what happened to us in the end? Can you listen to mother this time and don't be stubborn?"

  "Mother, I listen to you!" Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and said.

  The family began to pack their things in a hurry. They couldn't bring anything big, they could only bring valuable things.

  Jiang Tangtang took advantage of people not paying attention and put all the beeswax and other materials into the space.

  The Lu family only had one donkey cart, and so many people couldn't fit in it. Fortunately, the Xia family had an old ox cart, and the Lu family happened to have an extra cow, so it could be used.

  Two families, just one donkey cart and two ox carts, crowded together and hurried to the county seat.

  As soon as the car was about to leave Zhuangzi, Ge Shuanniang and her son and daughter chased after her, "Manager Xia, Sister Jiang, wait a minute, you can give us a ride. We are also going to the city."

  If it had been anyone else, Jiang Tangtang would have let people squeeze in. squeeze. But Ge Shuanniang, that long-tongued woman, forget it.

  Not only did she not stop the car, she also shouted to Lu Shili to hurry up. Ge Shuanniang had had diarrhea all day, and her legs were already weak. The donkey cart accelerated again, and she could not catch up.

  In the end, I could only curse and go home.

  Here, Jiang Tangtang and his party entered the city gate at the last moment before Raoying County closed the city gate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.    

  "My sister is getting married in the county town. Why don't you follow me to my sister's house to hide." Manager Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  "No, we just rented a shop in the city today, which is just right for us to stay."

  Jiang Tangtang concealed the purchase of the shop, but told the Xia family the address and invited the Xia family to rest in his shop.

  Manager Xia naturally refused, "It's such a mess. I have to go see the girl first, otherwise I won't worry."

  The two families parted at the intersection, and Jiang Tangtang took the family to the new shop they bought today.

  After entering the yard and closing the door, the family felt relieved.

  "We rented this house at the right time, Tangtang, you are the lucky star of our family." Mrs. Su said happily, covering her chest.

  Jiang Tangtang said: "It's just a coincidence!"

  She took some pork from the bag and distributed it to everyone, "Let's fill your stomach first!"

  She originally planned to make more pork jerky and sell it in gift boxes during the Chinese New Year. But before she could talk to Shopkeeper Song about the gift box, their cooperation collapsed. At this time, I just took out the pork breasts to fill everyone's stomach.

  He Qiuniang was embarrassed to eat such expensive things from her master's house, so she stood up and said, "Madam, I see there are ready-made stoves and firewood over there. I'll go boil some water for everyone to drink first!"

  When she said this, everyone felt dry in the mouth. No, I'm hungry too.

  After experiencing the pain of exile, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu both knew the importance of food. The first thing they packed during this escape was the food at home.

  I would simply take out the food and make porridge.

  Everyone was busy, but Lu Shiyan said: "I'm going out."

  Su Shi suddenly became anxious, "Your leg hasn't healed yet, what are you doing out there?"

  "Don't worry, Mom, I won't risk going back alone. In the village." After Lu Shiyan finished speaking, he told Lu Shili a few words and then went out.

  Su Shi was so angry that she yelled, "This is so troublesome!"

  "Mom, although we have entered the city, it is not necessarily safe. It's better for my husband to go out to find out the news, lest something happens and we are blinded. , there is nothing we can do." Jiang Tangtang advised.

  "You said he went to inquire for information?" Mrs. Su looked at her daughter-in-law suspiciously.

  "Definitely!"

  Jiang Tangtang actually didn't know what Lu Shiyan did, but based on the contacts he had over the past few days, he felt that he was a very responsible person.

  People like him want to be heroes and save innocent people, but they will also settle down their families first.

  Su Shi finally stopped scolding.

  In the evening, everyone had a simple meal with pork breast and gruel. After dinner, Lu Shiyan had not returned yet. Several children were already too tired to stand it, and their heads fell asleep little by little.

  Jiang Tangtang said: "Mom, everyone squeeze in and have a rest first!"

  The car was too small to pull so many things, so after taking away everything except the food, only two quilts were taken.

  In addition, there were no extra beds in the house, so it was finally decided that the men would all squeeze into one room, and the women would all sleep in the same room at night. Let's talk about other things until we get up tomorrow.

  Mrs. Lu couldn't hold it any longer, so she took the children to bed first. Lu Shili didn't sleep. He was holding a big sword in the yard and shouldered the responsibility of guarding.

  Jiang Tangtang couldn't sleep, so he secretly hid in the space and made a lot of steamed buns and other dry food in case of emergency.
