Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Chapter 146: Passerby A died before the escape began 2

After coaxing the child for a while, Jiang Yue's mother came in with a bowl of porridge. It was too hot to drink yet, so she put it on the table to cool it down. Then she touched her forehead and saw that Jiang Yue's spirits had improved. She said with relief, "It seems that the disease has been cured. Your father doesn't have to go to the county every day to wait for Doctor Li."

"My father went to see Doctor Li?"

"Well, the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang has not worked. You were unconscious due to fever for the past two days. Your father immediately stopped taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang. These days, you are taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Li's apprentice. I won't go to Doctor Wang anymore. No wonder the county magistrate went to Doctor Li for treatment instead of him. It was useless and almost killed my child."

Jiang Yue quickly changed the subject. It was not Doctor Wang's fault. It would be useless if an imperial physician came instead. Jiang Yue drank a small bowl of porridge to fill his stomach. While eating, Chen told Jiang Yue about what had happened in the past few days. She heard that there was a rebellion in the nearby county town again and the imperial army was about to attack. Many refugees came to the village. If Jiang Yue had not been seriously ill, the Jiang family would have passed away long ago.

"When your father comes back and sees that you have recovered, he will definitely be very happy. Yue'er, you should take good care of yourself these few days. When you are well, we will hurry to the county town. You know, those rebel soldiers love to rob people like us the most."

Jiang Yue nodded. That's right. According to the plot, Shima County would fall soon. If Jiang Yue hadn't come, his family would have died on the way to Shima County. Even if they went to Shima County, it would be useless because the family of the leader of this group of rebels was killed by the county magistrate of Shima County. When attacking the city, the county magistrate was so cruel that he pushed the people out to die in order to prevent the city from being lost. The leader of the rebels was also a beast and killed the people directly. The people in the county saw how cruel he was and they had to hold on for a long time before he took the city. Then there was a massacre and he almost killed everyone in the city.

After talking for a while, the two little ones couldn't stay any longer and went out to play. Chen chatted with Jiang Yue for a while and seeing that Jiang Yue looked tired, she helped her to sleep and then went out. When Jiang Yue woke up, it was dark. She heard talking in the next room, got out of bed, got dressed and went over. When she got there, the two little ones had already fallen asleep, and the mother and Jiang's father were chatting. When they saw Jiang Yue come in, Chen and Jiang's father hurriedly stood up and came over to support Jiang Yue.

"Dad, Mom, you don't need to help me. I can do it myself."

"Oh, I was scared to death. I was afraid something bad would happen to you!" Father Jiang was so excited that his voice was trembling. God knows he was so worried that his mouth was covered with blisters. After Jiang Yue sat down, Father Jiang quickly reached out and touched Jiang Yue's forehead and face. After finding that the fever had subsided, he said, "God bless you! I thought you..."

Halfway through his words, Chen interrupted him with a slap in the face: "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak!"

After saying that, he glared at Father Jiang and said, "Go and bring the meal to Yue'er. You haven't eaten properly for several days. You must be starving, right?"

After Jiang's father brought the food to Jiang Yue, he ate some. During the meal, after Jiang's father confirmed that Jiang Yue had recovered, he called for the gods to bless her. After Jiang Yue finished eating, Jiang's father said, "I will ask Doctor Li's apprentice to come tomorrow. After confirming that Yue'er has recovered, I will prepare some gifts for him. He saved Yue'er's life."

After the couple discussed Jiang Yue's matter, Jiang's father said with a sad face: "The county town next door has rebelled, and now many refugees and defeated soldiers have fled to our side. Today, I went to the county town to ask for a doctor and heard that the Li family in Shitou Village was robbed and the whole family died."

Chen was terrified after hearing what Jiang's father said, and hurriedly asked Jiang's father: "What should we do then? Should we pack up and run? If not, we can go to the county town. When the rebels come to our village, we will not be able to stop them with only seven or eight people."

"Hey, I'm afraid that hiding in the county town won't work. The county town's yamen runners may exploit the people, but it's useless to expect them to guard the city. I think we might as well go directly to the county town. The county town is much safer than the county town anyway."

Jiang Yue listened to the two men for a long time. Jiang's father's idea was correct. What he didn't expect was that the rebels would attack so quickly. He didn't know that the rebel leader had a grudge against the county governor. In addition, Jiang Yue was ill and delayed for a few days. He went to the county town only after his funeral. As a result, he happened to catch up with the rebels and was killed and robbed by the fleeing soldiers. The soldiers of that time were not the same as those in later generations. Encountering fleeing soldiers was more terrifying than encountering bandits.

Now they can only go to the county town according to Jiang's father's idea. After all, Jiang Yue's parents may not listen to what a ten-year-old child says. It will take some time for the rebels to attack. Even if they don't settle in the county town, they have to go to the county town to replenish supplies. After the news that the rebel leader and the county magistrate have a grudge spreads, they can encourage their parents to leave the county town and go to the capital. Even if the capital is breached, there will be no reason to massacre civilians in the capital.

Then the two of them discussed what to bring. Father Jiang thought for a while and said, "We have a cow and a donkey, but only one car. When I go to the county town tomorrow, I will see if I can buy a car. Two cars should be enough."

"Start packing tomorrow and prepare some dry food that is easy to carry. I won't say more about this since you have experience. You also need to prepare some small bags. Each of the five of us will carry one so that we won't starve to death if we get separated by accident. Then you need water. Find the water bags I made when I went hunting before, clean them, and fill them with water."

"I see. His father, should we tell the village chief before we leave? Are we going together or what?"

"I'm going to discuss it with the village chief tomorrow, but they may not go with us. I'll see if I can find a few people to go with us. It's too easy for our family of five to be targeted. It's safer to go with more people."

"Well, you decide."

After discussing the matter, Jiang Yue looked at the two little radishes who were sleeping soundly and returned to the house. After closing the doors and windows, he set up a soundproof formation and took out three puppets of a family of three from the space. Jiang Yue put in the spirit stone to activate it and put Bai Ze on the chest of the puppet. After a while, the eyes of the three puppets became smart, and the three of them saluted to Jiang Yue: "Master!"

"Bai Ze, find a chance to escape the famine with my family. The safety on the road is up to you." After saying that, Jiang Yue took out a bow and arrow, a knife and a set of soft armor from the space and handed them to Bai Ze. He also gave Bai Ze dozens of arrows. These were enough. In fact, the puppet's own defense was invincible in this world, but it was not good to be exposed after all. Wearing soft armor also gave him an excuse to shirk responsibility.

"The most important thing is to persuade my father to move to the capital. There will be more and more rebel barbarians in the future. It is better to go to the capital once and for all, so that he won't have to run back and forth in the future."

"Understood. Master, please be careful. I will leave first."
