An orphan girl in troubled times, living a miserable life
Chapter 53: Cold Wind Blows and Changes the Sky
A word was spoken from inside the house, so shocking that Li Yaoguang, who was eavesdropping outside, was almost scared to death.
Upon hearing such a shocking secret and suddenly knowing the truth of the matter, Li Yaoguang subconsciously shrank back in shock.
It was really just that moment, without making any sound or disturbance. Surprisingly, the young silver-armored general who had been following the training with his head down suddenly poked his head out, his sharp eyes shot towards the window where she was, and he shouted, "Who's there!"
Li Yaoguang, who was so shocked that his three souls and seven spirits were lost, was shocked. He watched helplessly as the guy, who was not like an ordinary person, instantly turned into silver light and shot towards him.
Even though there was a tightly closed window, Li Yaoguang felt frightened.
Seeing the silver light approaching, she struggled to break free from this silent oppression, and slipped into the space just before someone broke through the window. As soon as she entered, Li Yaoguang sat down on the ground, patting her chest with her little hands in fear.
"Damn it, he's not that old, but he's really smart! How did he find me? Could it be a dog's nose?"
The young silver-armored general, who was called a dog-nosed man, broke through the window and found that there was no one outside.
Just when I was feeling strange, a sound was heard in the room.
"Yue'er, is there anyone there?"
The young general in silver armor darkened his eyes, and scanned the surroundings with lightning speed, and then he bowed towards the house, and his clear voice came into the window, "Dad, it's okay, there's no one here, maybe I was too nervous."
After the voice fell, General Shen nodded and felt relieved.
General Shen has no doubt about his son's keen five senses. After all, his son has always had this ability since he was a child.
Because of faith, we can be at ease.
Seeing that the father and son of the Shen family were no longer nervous, Lord Liu, who had just seen Shen Yue suddenly fly up and break through the window sill, put away the worry in his eyes about the secret being leaked, and he also calmed down. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and nodded to General Shen in fear.
It's no wonder they are nervous. The truth is, if this news gets out today, and people know that the emperor has abandoned the city and fled in times of crisis, abandoning the people, the relatively calm Kyoto will be in chaos in an instant. If the Hu Di army comes again, Kyoto, which can still defend itself and buy time for the emperor, will be defeated and destroyed in the blink of an eye. The two of them will be condemned for the rest of their lives and become sinners of Dajing because of their momentary misstep!
The two men, filled with fear, said no more words and simply discussed the capital's defense, civil affairs, and subsequent cooperation. Then General Shen hurriedly said goodbye with his son.
Li Yaoguang in the space waited until the palpitations in her heart completely passed. It was estimated that half an hour had passed before she tentatively came out and found that the hateful silver-armored young general was nowhere to be seen. The room that was brightly lit just now was now pitch black. There was no danger around her, so Li Yaoguang ran away in the direction she came from.
What pass, what leaving the city, the most important thing right now is to escape!
Li Yaoguang's heart was pounding all the way. Luckily, he climbed over the tall wall of Jingzhao Prefecture. He originally wanted to find a place where the wall was not well defended and maybe a little shorter, where he could reach it with his stairs, and then quickly escape from the city.
Everyone was already heading towards the city wall, but Li Yaoguang stopped when he thought of Shopkeeper Qian, the old doctor, the stall owners who had helped him, and Xie Chatou and the others.
If I only cared about escaping for my own life after knowing such fatal news, wouldn’t that be a bit unkind?
Another thing, when troubled times are approaching, what is the most important thing? Of course, food, food!
Who knows how long this war will last? Can Dajing hold out? If not, wouldn't it be a disaster for all?
If there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, poor harvests or something like that, and if people start to rise up in rebellion everywhere, I'm afraid there will be unrest for several years.
Li Yaoguang simply didn't dare to think about it any further. In troubled times, people are always eaten by humans. How could someone like her who had no skills survive? Moreover, she was accompanied by such an aunt, uncle, and cousin!
She didn't know what it meant to have corpses everywhere, and she had never witnessed such a horrific scene with her own eyes, but inexplicably, at this moment her mind uncontrollably thought of the movie 1942 that she had watched in her previous life. Li Yaoguang was completely panicked.
She used to think that she had plenty of food in her space, but now her fear of food shortage has completely erupted. Thinking of the food stored in the Marquis' Mansion that was not taken away when the Madonna had an attack of her illness, she now wishes she could slap herself a few times.
She is not destined to be a saint, but she has saint syndrome. This is what I mean.
But it was too late to regret now. Instead of regretting, it would be better to take the opportunity to tell his friend the news and then hurry back to the Marquis' Mansion to collect the grain.
Li Yaoguang turned around and ran towards Weimei Building. As soon as he raised his foot, he was startled and realized that the wind was blowing. He raised his head to see the dark sky and saw snowflakes falling again.
Li Yaoguang smiled bitterly, took out the cloak made by her aunt from the space and put it on, blew on her cold hands and rubbed them, not daring to delay any longer and ran away. In the blink of an eye, the empty street behind her was left with only the rustling of falling snow...
It was the middle of the night and everyone in Weimei Building was sleeping soundly in the backyard. Suddenly they heard the door open suddenly and they thought it was a dream.
Still worried about the business of the store, Qian, the shopkeeper, felt something was wrong and hurriedly woke up Fusheng, who was on duty in the outer room. The two of them listened carefully and indeed there were bursts of knocking on the door mixed with the whistling cold wind. The noise came from the corner door which only people inside the family knew about.
Shopkeeper Qian did not dare to delay, and immediately stood up, put on his cloak, and asked Fusheng to light the oil lamp. The two of them hurried to the backyard. When they opened the door, they saw that the person who came in the wind and snow was Li Yaoguang. Both Shopkeeper Qian and Fusheng were shocked.
"Sir, why are you here?"
"Yes, it's snowing heavily, and at this time, but is there something urgent?"
Li Yaoguang: "Uncle Qian, Brother Fusheng, the door is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk."
"Okay, okay, come in quickly."
The two men knew that something was wrong, and seeing that Li Yaoguang's face was so pale, they hurriedly invited him in. Shopkeeper Qian signaled Fusheng to close the door, and he hurried Li Yaoguang into the house.
"Come on, it's freezing outside, let's talk inside."
Li Yaoguang shook his head, stood under the porch of the corner door, and grabbed Manager Qian's arm.
"No, Uncle Qian, this is urgent, I won't go in.
I am here only to tell you that Uncle Qian has sealed off the capital. I have just received news that the situation in Dajing is about to change. The emperor has not left the capital to pray to the heaven, but because there is a heavy snowfall ahead and the Hu and Di people are suffering from a disaster. In order to survive, an army of 200,000 is marching south. The border is broken and the capital is attacked from both sides. However, our emperor has already abandoned the city and his people and fled south in panic.
Uncle Qian's army is approaching, and it's a matter of life and death. I am a little girl, and I don't have any ambitions for my country. I still have relatives behind me waiting for me to protect me. Thinking of the past friendship, I came to inform you. If there is a chance, Uncle Qian, you must find a way to escape from the capital, preferably to the south. If you really can't leave, you must store food and medical supplies and other necessities of life, and find a safe place in Kyoto to plan a retreat..."
At this point, for some reason, Li Yaoguang inexplicably thought of the advice given to her by the old steward of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and cursed herself in her heart for being stupid and having no foresight!
But the shopkeeper Qian and Fusheng in front of them were horrified.
Shopkeeper Qian staggered and almost lost his balance. Fusheng was so anxious that he dropped his oil lamp and supported the man. "Shopkeeper, are you okay?"
Shopkeeper Qian slowed down his pace, helped Fusheng to stand steadily, waved at Fusheng, said everything was fine, looked at Li Yaoguang and bowed solemnly.
"I am Qian Deshun, thank you for your kindness, sir."
