Chapter 194: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 34
When Lin Sheng heard the word "prefectural city", her eyes lit up. What a coincidence! She had been thinking about when to go to the prefect's house, and now the opportunity has come!
Shen Liangzhou paused while eating meat and asked, "Madam Lin, do you have any old friends in the capital?" Why is he so excited?
"Rather than calling him an old friend, it would be more appropriate to call him an enemy." Since they were all family members, Lin Sheng did not intend to hide it. Anyway, this matter was basically known to everyone in the village. She ate the steamed bun in her hand in a few bites, and then stretched out her arm to grab a big one:
"It's a long story, and I'm too lazy to make it short. I'll go with you guys when the time comes. You go shopping while I go get my revenge."
Shen Liangzhou nodded and did not continue the topic. He talked about the current situation again: "I thought Dingchuan County would be broken soon, but I didn't expect your county magistrate to be so powerful that he could keep those barbarians out of the city."
When Lin Sheng heard this, he didn't even bother to eat his steamed buns, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me the details quickly." They had been traveling in this desolate wilderness for the past few days and had not been able to get any news at all.
"This news was brought here by the last few brothers who stayed at the bottom of the cliff to recover from their injuries last night:
It is said that Dingchuan County was in chaos at the time, and the county magistrate said that those who wanted to leave should leave quickly, otherwise no one would be able to leave. That night, when most of the wealthy families in the city had fled, he had the city gates completely closed..."
The first wave of barbarians who came to attack the city were not numerous, only a few hundred. He personally led his men to shoot a wave of flaming arrows, and they retreated.
There were more people in the second wave, several hundred in number. This time, the county magistrate first threw firecrackers to scare the horses, then threw earthenware jars filled with hot water, and finally another wave of rain of arrows.
Shen Liangzhou also gave Lin Sheng a thumbs up:
"You were right to flee immediately. The barbarians are brutal and cruel. Every time they arrive at a place, they will first harass the people of the Central Plains before they stop. Now most of them are slaughtering villages everywhere.
When they are everywhere, we will launch the third wave of siege. By then, there will not only be thousands of barbarians, but also countless people from the Central Plains as cannon fodder in front. "
At this point, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Dingchuan County can't be defended. If the general is still here..."
Lin Sheng thought that was not necessarily the case: "You still don't know who the magistrate of Dingchuan County is, right?"
"I really don't know, but if there are no people without weapons, no one can defend it."
"Doctor Liu told me that he is a close friend of your Prince Liang and a direct descendant of the Chen family, the largest family in Jiangnan. If he is not sure, he will not hold on to the throne unless he does not want to live."
Shen Liangzhou was shocked:
"Chen Luodan? How could he be reduced to being a small county magistrate in Dingchuan County? He was the last disciple of the late emperor's teacher, and he was also the late emperor's junior brother. The emperor would call him uncle whenever he saw him... Alas~ It seems that Nanliang is really finished in his hands."
Ever since the young general was injured, they have been living at the bottom of the cliff and are not very well-informed about the news. If the incident in Prince Liang's Mansion had not caused such a big fuss, they would not have known about it!
Oh, Lin Sheng didn't expect that County Magistrate Chen had such a powerful background. No wonder the emperor killed his uncle's family but didn't dare to kill him. It turns out there is this relationship.
......
There were four large iron pots of stew, and not even a drop of soup was left. Later, Lin Sheng asked the aunts in the village to help steam two rounds of steamed buns, and he only stopped after using up all the two bags of cornmeal and one bag of flour pulled by the horse-drawn carriage.
The village chief looked at their eating habits and became worried about the siblings: "Ah Sheng, it's already this late, why are you still thinking about eating until you are full? We don't know when we can reach Jiangnan, what are you going to do on the road ahead!"
Lin Sheng also talked about her next plan: "We will continue on our journey tomorrow. They will go to the nearby village to buy food and then meet up. In three days, we will be able to reach the capital city. We plan to stay for two or three days to purchase supplies."
The village chief was startled and refused subconsciously: "We have already wasted a lot of time before, we dare not stay that long, otherwise, I will discuss with the villagers and each family will share some food for you to deal with, and when we get to the destination, we will eat our fill."
Lin Sheng shook his head and refused: "Uncle, to be honest, I have another purpose for going to the capital city, which is to get back my grandfather's property and dowry. Two or three days may not be enough, so why don't we go separately?"
This was what Shen Liangzhou had just suggested to her. The risk of being with them was actually much higher than meeting bandits. If they happened to meet someone who knew through their identities, it would turn into a fierce battle.
And those women. Even though the villagers are now very enthusiastic about handsome men, who can guarantee that their attitude will not change after knowing what the women have experienced?
Lin Sheng thought about it and it made sense. The reason she chose to go with the villagers was to protect their safety, but now she was the one bringing danger to others.
The village chief's face changed several times. Not to mention the more than one hundred new soldiers, just the presence of Qing Xiaozi and the fat kid's two guards would have given Linjia Village a lot of confidence. Now they all left in a flash...
"How about this, uncle? I have some weapons that were handed down from the Qiao family. I can exchange a few for the villagers. I also want food and vegetables. What do you think?"
The village chief was delighted. Who wouldn't see the ancestral weapons of the Qiao family? Didn't you see the soldiers' eyes widen when they saw them? They must be good stuff:
"Then I'll go back and discuss it with those old guys, and try to come up with a set of rules tonight."
He also realized that the person obviously didn't want to go with them, and it was useless to force him to stay.
But thinking about it, this is a good idea. After all, not only is this military officer a deserter, but now he is involved with Prince Liang's Mansion, which is not a good thing. I have to tell the villagers not to talk nonsense and not to cause any trouble to the village.
The old men and women in the village were smart and they quickly figured out that it would be better for the villagers if they went their separate ways.
Originally, they took Ah Qing and her brother with them because they were worried about their family, as either they were pregnant women or had children. If they went together, the villagers could take care of them. Since they were living well, why should they worry about them?
"Then it's settled. It's dark tonight and it's hard to do. We can do other things after dawn." The village chief waved his hand at the siblings and said, "You two should go back and rest. Especially Ah Sheng, who is pregnant, can't get tired."
"Uncle, I understand. We'll leave first."
