Chapter 345 Lingtai Town
In the end, Aunt Qingyi came and held Cai Chuchu down. Madam wiped her clean herself, but it splashed some of them with water all over their bodies, but everyone was happy.
After taking a bath, everyone felt refreshed and no longer sleepy. When I walked down, I saw that the guards and soldiers who had also taken a bath were no longer sick as before. Their faces were much rosier, and some were a little rosy. He was still holding pork soup in his hand, slurping his mouth while eating.
Li Yan gathered all the female family members together and set up two tables at the entrance of the cave. They still ate chicken and mushroom soup, which tasted much more delicious than the wild boar soup over there, without the roasted smell at all.
In the end, they didn't eat the two pots of pork soup that the soldiers brought over, and they all ended up in the stomachs of the guards.
I don’t know if it was because of August’s meritorious service, but Qiu Li and August made an exception and were arranged to sleep on the same kang as Chu Chu.
The big and long kang head can obviously be very spacious for several children to sleep on, and there is still room for rolling on it.
But they happened to sleep in a pile like little piglets, with their heads touching each other.
It is quiet late at night, everyone has fallen asleep. The small village is very quiet. There is not even the sound of insects in this season.
In a small mountain nest less than two miles away from where they were stationed, dozens of people who were also stationed were all slaughtered in their sleep by dozens of men in black who fell from the sky.
They were buried under the loess soil and in abandoned cave dwellings without even leaving a last cry.
It wasn't until dawn that Chu Chu remembered to look for her father and mother, and she didn't know which room they slept in last night.
When I asked my mother, she also blushed and hesitated to find words to talk her out of, which was strange.
Most people didn't know that this big event happened last night. Behind them, a "big caravan" of dozens of people from the capital was eliminated, including the mute woman who had accosted Luo Mei.
It was solved quietly, leaving no trace, and Chu Chu didn’t even know the specific reason.
Li Yan was also kept in the dark, because after Yan Guogong arranged everything, he lay next to her early, and he and she were flirting with each other and fought for several rounds without going anywhere.
In fact, after leaving Yuzhou City, Yan Guogong and Zimo left two guards behind, specifically staying behind to observe the thieves following them.
Now that they know it is coming against them, if they don't eliminate the trouble forever, I wonder what other tricks they will come up with besides framing Madam. No matter who these people belong to, they cannot stay.
His wife and children are Duke Yan's bottom line. Since he dares to use such despicable means to attack them, Duke Yan will never be merciful. He is kind-hearted, but he will never be merciful.
The medicine given to the thieves was the same as the last time they crossed the Huaihe River. Chu Chu replaced it and said it was a sleeping pill that was more useful than the incense.
It happened that there was some left over from the thief last time, and Zimo didn't give it back to the lady. This time it happened to be a help in solving the thief.
Sure enough, the hot springs were powerful enough. After taking a few baths and resting for two days, we started again on the third day. The soldiers were full of energy again and moved much faster.
It had only been five days since we left Jinzhou, and we were about to enter the realm of Qingyang. The journey was smoother than ever, and everyone was happy.
Knowing that they would reach their destination soon, everyone was as motivated as if they had been given a shot of blood.
There was only one day left to reach the final destination. Not only the two adults, but also everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There were really too many things they encountered this time.
Although they have been resolved time and time again, the people are tired and the heart is tired.
The destination, Qingyang, is a small border town. It was originally the second town of the border town. Since the fall of Huacheng more than two months ago, the garrison retreated to Qingyang.
"Sir, the Lingtai Station in Qingyang is just ahead. If we stay here for one more night, we can reach Qingyang tomorrow night."
Everyone worked hard and walked quickly for the rest of the trip. It was only after noon when Zimo reported, saying that they would arrive at the Lingtai in less than two hours.
"Great, we will definitely arrive before dark tonight, right, Sister Luo Mei?"
The young lady was happy to hear this, and Qiuli was even happier.
When they stopped for a while, Chu Chu begged her mother to let August come over. The three of them were chattering in the carriage, thinking about buying some gifts in Qingyang.
Unexpectedly, Luo Mei poured cold water on her: "Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy anything. If there wasn't a war, there would still be trade on the border. Now the two countries are at war with each other. It's important for the people to save their lives. There is no trade."
Seeing that the excitement of the three people immediately turned into flags and flames, Luo Mei couldn't bear it, and quickly comforted them and said: "Qingyang is gone, but there is still business in Western Xinjiang where General Lin San is stationed. Maybe in a few days You can buy it on your return trip later.”
Luo Mei also overheard some guards talking about these words, and knew that this was indeed the case. It would be great if the people in the war between the two countries could save their lives. How could there be the previous prosperity?
Will the situation in Western Xinjiang be better? The New Year is getting closer and closer, and after being away for such a long time, the master and his wife must be anxious to go back, fearing that they may not have much time to stay.
Sure enough, before the end of the Shen Dynasty, word came down from the front that there was a spiritual platform ahead, and they were stationed here.
I had heard that Lingtai was a small town, but I didn't expect to find out after I was stationed there that it was just a small town not much bigger than Taohua Village. It was just one street with few shops with signboards, and most of the houses were closed. Yes, there is a thick curtain hanging on the door, the kind that can shed a layer of dust if you shake it.
The block is not too far from the inn, and you can walk a few hundred feet to get there. The three little ones were allowed to go there and walk around, but Luo Mei and Anlan still followed from a distance.
They walked into a grocery store. The door outside was small, but when they entered, it suddenly became clear to them. However, the house was low and low, maybe it was built that way to resist the wind.
The items were still very complete, but the shelves were very old and the items were arranged in a messy manner. There was only one peasant woman looking after the store. When she saw them entering, she grunted and didn't know what to say, and she didn't get up to greet them. mean.
Seeing that there was nothing they wanted to buy, they walked around and exited.
When they entered the fur shop a few rooms away, the shopkeeper was not enthusiastic. He ignored the three children at first. He saw Luo Mei and An Lan who followed them and said, "The furs in our shop are all collected from furs." If you want to sell it to the capital, it will be very expensive if you buy it alone."
The voice didn't sound like a local one, and he didn't want to do their business by saying these words.
"We are new here, just take a look." Luo Mei responded to him calmly without being angry.
Chu Chu fell in love with a piece of fiery red fox fur. She originally thought it was very beautiful, but when she saw it, she thought of Huahua, and she couldn't bear it, so she wanted to leave.
"If you don't buy it, what's that outside?"
