Chapter 2493 Dont want to recognize each other
Thinking of those buried people, Erdan Daddy and the others also had red eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, you go, we will also go to the next street to pay homage to those dead neighbors."
They were all neighbors, people we usually saw every day, but they were gone like this. The more we thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and finally wept loudly.
The birthday girl cried for a while and asked: "But where are we going to escape?"
Yongtai Mansion is near Chidao. Go left to the northwest, go to the right to the northeast, and go down to the south.
Its definitely not possible in the Northeast. The colder we go, the colder we go, we will freeze to death on the road.
Erdan Niang: "What about the south? The south is good. I heard it's very rich. I'm sure I won't starve to death there!"
But Xiaosuo, the medicine boy of the Luo family, said: "If you want to go to the south, you have to go through the Zhongzhou Capital Commandery Department. The road there is not easy to walk... The people who came to deliver medicine to our medical center said that because of the deduction of military pay, the soldiers there are very poor. They pass by and ask for money, and if they dont pay, they will suffer!
This is nothing new. It was even worse a few years ago. I heard that people would not even ask you for passing money, but would just pretend to be bandits and rob you.
Everyone was frightened after hearing this.
Erdan Niang cried loudly: "Then where should we escape? Are we really going to die trapped in Yongtai Mansion, waiting for the body to rot, let us get sick, and then die together here?!"
"Go to the northwest!" Fang Tiangui said: "I am on duty in the Yamen and got a lot of news about the northwest. The rebels have been defeated there and it is completely stable. The new Marquis of Qin is still a good man and attaches great importance to the people. Mrs. Marquis of Qin We can also make medicine, and we have a pharmaceutical workshop. I heard that you can get a lot of medicinal materials for free over there... Because people in the war have to run away a lot, there is a lot of free land. If we go, we might be able to get some land. !
Xiaosuo, the medicine boy, nodded and said: "Fang Yamen is right. We have also heard that the new Marquis of Qin welcomes people from all over Dachu to settle in the northwest. With more people, the land will not be left unused. We might have been able to get land in the past. "
"Can we get land? So good, then we have to crawl over even if we have to crawl!" Erdan Niang was so happy that she said to the neighbors in Maocao Lane: "We don't have land in Yongtai Mansion. If we go to the northwest, we can't get land." With a piece of land, our life will not be in vain."
He then said to Erdan's father: "His father, this is about Erdan's life. If you dare to stop me again, I will make peace with you and take Erdan to the northwest!"
"Why are you howling? I didn't say I disagreed." Erdan Dad said: "Going to the northwest is indeed a good way out... I just hope I won't fight with the bandits again."
People from all over Dachu are unwilling to settle in the northwest. The main reason is because of the war and thieves. If a fight breaks out, the family fortune accumulated throughout their lives will be lost. Who can not be afraid?
He then said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's go to the northwest."
Okay! the neighbors cheered and started preparing things.
To be honest, they really don't lack anything. When they were digging through the ruins to rescue people these days, they dug out a lot of money, food, and quilts, which could support them as far as Daliang Mansion.
Xiaosuo said: "As long as you enter the northwest boundary and register at the Yamen, you can receive supplies, and then allocate a place to settle down and farm."
The northwest is so good now. Everyone is very excited and starts packing their things, planning to leave as soon as dawn.
But only the birthday girl was not happy and her face was very pale.
Lin Laoba was very worried when he saw it. He pulled her aside and asked: "Daughter-in-law, are you unwilling to go to the northwest? Yes, is there any bad person in the northwest? Don't be afraid, you are already married. Even if the bad guys in the past want to cause trouble for you, they can't defeat so many of us, so I will protect you."
The birthday girl shook her head and said: "No, those evil people are all dead and not in the northwest... I'm just too tired, the cotton-padded jacket on my body was wet with snow, and I'm so cold that I don't look good."
There are indeed no evil people from the past in the northwest, and there are some acquaintances, but she doesn't want to recognize them... She is a person who crawled out of the cesspit, but her old friends are high in the clouds. She doesn't want to dirty them and bring them trouble. , so even though she knew they were looking for her, she did not go to the Yamen to admit her identity. "Is your cotton-padded jacket wet? Take it off quickly and dry it over the fire, then wear this one." Lin Laoba took off his cotton-padded jacket and wanted to give it to the birthday girl.
The birthday girl hurriedly stopped him: "No, you are going to the Yamen alley, so you have to dress to keep out the cold. If you are sick, it will delay everyone's journey... I still have quilts at home, I can just wrap them up in the quilts and bake them to dry." "
After hearing this, Lin Laoba could only put on his cotton-padded jacket and asked again: "Daughter-in-law, are you really okay?"
The birthday lady smiled and said, "It's okay. You can leave quickly. Brother Fang is already waiting impatiently."
He pushed Lin Laoba away.
Lin Laoba turned around uneasy and said, "Daughter-in-law, please stop packing your things. Have a good rest and pack them again when I come back."
Shou Niang: "I know, you go quickly, go early and come back early!"
Fang Tiangui and Lin Laoba brought some coarse grain pancakes and walked towards the Yamen alley in the dark. They were familiar with this area, so they took a shortcut and arrived in half an hour.
It's just that it's dark all around, and the cold wind is howling non-stop, which is a bit scary.
Fang Tiangui took out the coarse grain pancakes and placed them in front of the ruins, kowtowing from house to house: "Brother Hu, we are suffering from a disaster now. I can't bring out anything good. I only have some cold pancakes. Don't dislike it. You are full. It's better than Naiheqiao to join a wealthy family and you won't have to suffer anymore in the next life."
After saying this, he kowtowed to the ruins with tears in his eyes.
Lin Laoba also knelt down and kowtowed together.
They knelt and worshiped all the way from the entrance of the Yamen alley to the last Yamen house. It took a full hour, and they almost froze. When they were about to go back, they suddenly saw a fire... It was someone entering the ruins of the Yamen.
"It's so late, who else is there?" Fang Tiangui thought for a moment and said, "Brother Lin, since you are here, let's go to the Yamen to pay our respects."
There were also many people buried in the Yamen. Except for three adults who were dug out by the government army, the other Yamen servants and scribes were ignored and continued to be buried.
Lin Laoba nodded: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Fang."
The two of them walked towards the light of the fire in the dark. When they were about to reach the light of the fire, Fang Tiangui suddenly stopped, signaled Lin Laoba to be quiet, pulled him, backed away, and hid behind a half-collapsed wall. , pointing to the light of the fire for Lin Laoba to see.
Lin Laoba frowned after looking at it... There were several soldiers in armor in the light of the fire. They were digging through the ruins, but if they looked carefully, they were not rescuing people. Instead, they were putting a corpse into the ruins and stuffing a snake into it. into the mouth of the corpse, and then moved a strange stone and pressed it on the corpse.
And the corpse was still wearing official uniform... Lin Laoba's work of pouring night fragrance was done for the Yamen, so he had to go to the Yamen every month to collect wages. He had seen the prefect from a distance. After looking at it for a while, It was recognized that the corpse was wearing the official uniform of a fourth-grade prefect.
Thats the body of the prefect!
Wasnt the prefect exhumed and buried in a coffin? How would it appear here? What do these soldiers want to do?
