Chapter 165 Leaving Lingzhou County
“Boom boom boom!!! Hurry up if you want to leave the city!”
There was a long line of people waiting to leave the city at the west gate, and some people were rushing over here in a hurry.
The soldiers guarding the city struck the gong in front of them heavily.
In the two carriages sandwiched in the team, people would occasionally look back.
"Dad, here, here!" Lin Hongyi stood up and spoke loudly.
The loud voice made Wu Yidao's ears hurt, and he said unhappily.
"You little brat, can't you keep your voice down? You almost deafened me."
"Hehe, if the voice is too soft, no one can hear it!" Lin Hongyi laughed.
Of course he was happy to see his father coming back so soon.
"Grandpa, Dad has found my uncle and the others."
"Really?" Wu Yidao said excitedly.
The old man stood up and looked back, and sure enough he saw his three stupid sons.
An old heart fell back to reality with a "whoosh", neither salty nor bland.
"Useless things. I am already an old man and I still need people to look for it."
...
When it was the turn of the two carriages, Uncle Wu, who was standing outside the team, raised his hands.
"Sir, we are in this together."
The Wu family members who followed closely behind them all raised their hands and nodded obediently.
"Sir, we are in this together."
Lin Erzhuang took the initiative to step forward, quietly stuffed a purse into the soldier's hand, and said with a smile.
"Sir, please be flexible. We are a family."
"Lin Yingxiong, it turns out it's you guys. Is the little hero with you?"
The soldiers recognized the county’s heroes at a glance and remembered the great contributions made by this family.
Lin Shu poked her head out of the carriage and waved.
"Hello, soldier! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hello, little hero. Take care, little hero!"
The soldier was startled, stood at attention, saluted, and watched the Lin family leave the city.
The Wu family, who were treated with such courtesy, opened their mouths in surprise.
How come they have no idea when my brother-in-law and his family became heroes?
Those waiting to leave the city were filled with envy.
...
"Brother-in-law, it's getting late, let's rest outside the city!"
Uncle Wu saw many shacks outside the city and wanted to stay to find Chunliu.
"It's not safe here. It's best to rush to the next village overnight."
Lin Erzhuang saw that there were many shacks densely packed outside the city, and people were constantly coming in and out of them.
The curling smoke carries the rich smell of food.
I couldn't help but think of the refugees who escaped from the city first. It seemed that some of them grabbed the food and didn't leave in time.
"Then Youcai, Youqian and I will stay here to look for someone. It will take two days at most." Uncle Wu thought for a while and said.
"Brother-in-law, I now understand how you felt at that time.
Whatever the outcome, action must be taken.
Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
"Okay, take care."
Lin Erzhuang didn't try to persuade him any more. It was natural for a father to look for his daughter.
No one can stop it.
Half of the team is made up of children, which is really a headache.
Give up the only two carriages and let your children walk.
He didn't want to.
Not to mention, there are two injured people.
...
"Girl, can you get a sled?" Lin Erzhuang whispered while standing under the carriage.
"No, there are too many spies here."
Lin Shu refused outright. She didn't want to expose her secret to others.
Seeing my two cousins lying on stretchers, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Mom and grandpa will take the carriage in front, and we will get off and walk."
"My daughter, Daddy is sorry for you." Lin Erzhuang said sadly.
Lin Shu shook her head and didn't want to say anything more.
When forming a team to escape famine, you cannot just consider your own family members. It would be good enough if you can save one of the two carriages.
When Lin Hongqing heard that he had to give up the carriage again, he pouted his lips.
After whispering a few words to his twin brother, they immediately moved the things from the carriage to the carriage in front where their mother was sitting.
The two little guys moved away without leaving any cloth behind, and Lin Shu kept turning her head to look at the scenery.
...
As night fell, a team walked along the official road with torches.
Two carriages were pulling a short-legged child and two young wounded soldiers.
We moved forward along the muddy snowy road, fortunately the wheels and horse hooves were wrapped with cloth strips to prevent slipping.
As night fell over the earth, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
From flying flakes to flakes, a thin layer of snow fell on the hat and shoulders.
Baozi stuck close to his owner and used his warm belly to warm Lin Shu's legs.
"Shu'er, get in the carriage." Lin Erzhuang said with concern.
"Xu~"
Lin Erzhuang stopped the carriage and said to the people in the carriage.
"A few people go down and change, and let the child come up and sit for a while."
Hou sat in the carriage and never said a word, let alone got out to walk.
His face suddenly felt burning with pain, and he quickly picked up the two eggs and went downstairs.
Blacksmith Wang took the two grandsons and put them in a backpack.
He covered the two people with a cotton coat and carried them on his back easily.
It was only then that he remembered that as a servant, he should behave like a servant.
It is extremely disrespectful to ride in the same carriage with your master.
Besides, the young master was walking below, so how could the daughter-in-law and two grandsons have the face to sit down.
The women, who were cold and tired from walking, saw that the Lin family had monopolized a carriage, but there was no share for them.
I couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable and secretly frowned a lot.
...
The family got back into the carriage, and feeling their empty stomachs, they remembered that they hadn't eaten for a whole day.
"Gululu~"
"Gululu~"
There were waves of hunger cries, a serious protest.
Mrs. Wu lit a candle and opened a food box.
Steamed buns, dumplings, and braised pork.
He opened several food boxes one after another, which contained steamed buns, dumplings, rice balls, pancakes, dim sum, as well as braised pork elbows and stewed pork.
Unfortunately, it was so cold that it turned into a lump of ice, and it hurt my teeth when I bit into it.
Lin Shu put the food into the space and replaced it with warm steamed buns and dumplings.
While eating himself, he also did not forget to give food to Blacksmith Wang and his family.
Of course, these foods were steamed buns, cakes, and a small bag of snacks from the food box.
The rustling sound of walking can easily cover up the sound of chewing, but it cannot block the aroma of food.
This is an unspeakable torture for a group of people who are also hungry.
Lin Shu heard the sound of swallowing saliva from afar, and her hand that was chewing a steamed bun paused.
How could she have forgotten about those people behind her, she whispered.
"Grandpa, they should be hungry too."
"Well, I can guess it. You can do whatever you want!"
Wu Yidao sighed secretly. He was too ashamed to ask his beloved grandson to support his children and grandchildren.
Along the way, the good grandson and his family have done enough for them.
He saw it all, but some people were never satisfied.
Lin Shu packed the steamed buns and pancakes that had been stored in the space, one for each person.
The food box was handed over to Uncle Wu San by the blacksmith Wang who was walking beside the carriage.
"Brother-in-law, let me divide it!" Liu said sharply.
When she smelled the food coming from the front, she was so hungry that she swallowed her saliva violently.
I hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the whole day. Not only was my eyes green from hunger, but my hands were also shaking.
When you see food, of course you want to take it into your own hands.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard all the way, let me do it!"
Uncle Wu politely declined Liu's offer, opened the food boxes and distributed one to everyone starting with his own family.
