Chapter 2 Chaos
The business is so sloppy, but I met many noble people and heard a lot of messy news. Alas! I thought Xijing was safe, but later I found out that there was also danger..."
Tang Junyi didn't dare to say some ruthless words, so he could only keep shaking his head, and everyone who understands them understood them understood.
Jiang Kun also sighed, and the wine and food came up. The two of them actually drank to relieve their sorrows and drank until late at night.
The next day, Jiang Kun got up early to set up a stall, and Tang Laosi and Yu also cleaned up and prepared to go to Anhong County.
Because Jiang Kun reminded that the family of three specially changed into tattered clothes and went to the escort agency to inquire whether there were any escort teams or caravans that passed through Anhong County.
After all the inquiries, Tang Laosi and Yu, who had left Suzhou City, finally understood why Jiang Kun made them so trouble.
There were all refugees along the way, staring at the city gate. They couldn't get in, but it didn't prevent them from staring at the people who left the city. It would be fine for the poor, but even those who were dressed better should not walk this path safely.
Yu was so scared that he hugged Tang Liang tightly in his arms, and his eyes didn't dare to glance around.
Those refugees are not stupid either, so they will naturally wonder if Tang Laosi and the others were deliberately pretending to be poor. Fortunately, the three of them are quite thin and disguised themselves, and they are no different from refugees.
When they successfully walked out of the refugee encirclement, a commotion suddenly came from behind, and all the refugees rushed towards the city gate.
When Yu heard the movement, he didn't dare to look up and asked Tang Laosi with a blank face, "What's wrong with the child's father?"
Tang Laosi stared at the direction of the city gate seriously, shook his head at Yu, and no longer looked at him.
Behind them was a small team that left the city together, all of them were men, but they still couldn't stop the hungry refugees. They didn't even have time to resist, and all their things were stripped away. This was the God of August! This year, people were very cold, and I don't know where those people were going.
I arrived in Anhong County with trembling fear.
Perhaps there is nothing to eat here, but there are not as many refugees as outside Suzhou City. The streets and shops are closed, and there is not even a normal figure. Only refugees lie on the steps at the door of the shop in groups, looking weak.
Yu was even more afraid to read more.
The family of three looked at the address written by Jiang Kun, and when they arrived outside the shop, they saw many refugees gathered here.
Tang Laosi was stunned for a moment, remembering what Jiang Kun said, there was a back door in the house, so he could only take his wife and children around to the back. There was obviously no one here behind him, and a small door was closed tightly to isolate the pedestrians outside.
Tang Laosi knocked a few times and shouted twice.
Tang Junsheng, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, suddenly stood up suddenly. Before everyone could react, rushed to the backyard and opened the door. Seeing Tang Junyi, he rushed over and hugged the person, "Fourth brother! It's really you!"
"Third Brother!" Tang Junyi's eyes were red and he hugged Tang Junsheng excitedly.
Tang Junsheng quickly let go of the people, looked around, and said quickly: "Come in, I'll close the door."
Yu was relieved when he knew that the door of the backyard was closed tightly. He grabbed Tang Liang's hand and shook it immediately, and immediately trembled. He couldn't stand even if he was exhausted.
Tang Junyi was quick-witted and quickly got involved, "Is it okay?"
Yu's face was pale and shook his head, "No...it's okay, just take a break."
Seeing her like this, Tang Junsheng guessed that she was scared, so he hurriedly picked up Tang Liang and said, "We go into the house to talk first. You don't have to be afraid of anything when you get home. Everyone is here!"
Tang Junsheng's words touched the most vulnerable part of Yu's heart. She couldn't help but pounce on Tang Junyi's arms and started crying.
Jiang saw this scene when he rushed over and was worried, "Why did your brother and sister cry? But what grievances did you suffer?"
When Yu heard Jiang's voice, he hurriedly retreated from Tang Laosi's arms, shook his head embarrassedly, "San Sister-in-law, I'm fine."
Jiang understood and brought the person in. Everyone greeted each other for a few words. Seeing that so many old acquaintances were there, the uneasiness in his heart completely disappeared.
Seeing Tang Liang following Tang Zhong's butt again, his brother kept shouting, and he became happier and smiled a lot more.
While speaking, Yu told everyone about the situation outside, and there was a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows, "I don't know when this situation will last."
Li sighed: "You might as well stay in Xijing! At least there are no refugees there, not as chaotic as ours."
After hearing this, Yu shook his head repeatedly and his face became even more ugly, "Don't talk about Xijing anymore! The woman I took to the job said that Xijing was about to be in chaos. She also said that when she was young, Xijing was in chaos once. The streets were full of soldiers fighting. They broke into the mansions of various wealthy families, burned, killed, and robbed them. The common people couldn't escape. Many women and girls were ruined, and the last white silk was gone.
She also said that Xijing is generally not chaotic. If it is really chaotic, it will be blood flowing like a river and you can't escape! The year of chaotic is the year when the new emperor ascended the throne. Looking at the current situation, although I am just a woman, I can make up some things to do together. Xijing is not where people are here at this moment."
After saying this, several women turned pale.
Zhou murmured in confusion: "Even Xi Kyoto is in chaos, what should we do here?"
The Huang family mainly relies on tofu for a living. Now the business cannot be done and the food cannot be grown, which is really worrying.
"Actually, it would be fine if I could go to a big city like Suzhou City." Yu told everyone what he saw and heard in Suzhou City, and also mentioned the Jiang family.
Li couldn't help but sigh: "It's different from having craftsmanship or not. Brother Jiang was still very down and out when he first came. After Aning's tips, he has become the most prosperous among us. Unfortunately, we can't get out now!"
Their food and luggage are all in their houses, and it is impossible to leave until they are over.
Zhou was silent. He had thought about marrying a girl from the Jiang family before, but because the years were not good, he delayed it. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family got up. Is their family still confident to marry a girl?
Zhou did not dare to guarantee it, and his heart was full of twists and turns, regretting and sighing.
Tang Laosi also told everyone about the situation along the way. Everyone had a plan before sending Tang Laosi and the others back to the room.
After that, everyone discussed and prepared to take turns guarding the yard. Once they found that the little girl climbed over the wall, they would beat the gong, which would be safer.
