Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shen Youyou hurriedly put down the gourd in her hand and ran to open the door.

As soon as Shen Zhiqiu entered the room, he asked, "Daughter, have you packed your things? We have to leave quickly!"

Shen Youyou's heart skipped a beat. The three of them were discussing whether they should flee the famine! It seemed that something had really happened!

"You really let me guess right. You didn't even give me time to catch my breath.

The conscription order has been issued. It's only a day or two's journey to our place. Only one boy under 10 years old can stay in a family. The rest will be conscripted!"

After Shen Zhiqiu finished saying this, he heard a "thump".

The father and daughter looked together and saw that it was Li Jingshu who fell to the ground in fright after hearing what they said. The two of them hurried forward to support her.

At this time, Shen Luming ran over frantically, holding Li Jingshu's hand and saying, "Mom! Does it hurt?"

Oh my god, this fair and tender baby, the mother and daughter who met for the first time, have hearts in their eyes!

Li Jingshu immediately stopped feeling pain and panic, and picked up the plump Shen Luming and started kissing him.

Shen Youyou also wanted to come, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so she should pack up first!

There is strength in numbers. They first moved the bedding, clothes and other items that they had packed at home into the car, as well as the pots, pans, scissors and kitchen knives.

At this time, Shen Youyou did not forget to pack up the gourd seeds, which made Li Jingshu speechless:

I want to ask you why you installed it, are you planning to fry it and eat it as melon seeds?

“This is what I plan to use to make money in the future!”

Shen Youyou said this without turning her head, and went to the study to move the books!

"Oh my! Girl, why are you still moving these books? They're so heavy. Why don't you just eat or drink? Hurry up and pack something else!"

It’s obvious from the look of it that he doesn’t like reading. Even if he traveled through time and became a scholar, he wouldn’t take care of books!

However, she still picked up the dozen or so books and got on the bus, because these were books on geography and medicine that had been sorted out earlier.

There is also blank paper, pen, ink and inkstone in this bundle, which can be used in case you need to draw a map on the way.

"Dad, let's pack up, and you go buy more food and medicine!"

"I bought it, I bought it on the way back!"

Shen Zhiqiu was scooping water into the bucket when he saw his daughter putting gourds and bamboo poles on the cart. He was overwhelmed.

Why are you bothering with that thing again?

Shen Youyou tossed him a gourd that she had made: "It's a kettle. Hurry up and fill this one too."

At this time, Da Hu, who had just loaded a few raincoats and umbrellas into the car, hurriedly took the gourd to fill it with water.

Li Jingshu no longer held the fat son she had just picked up, and was moving needle and thread baskets and other daily necessities into the car.

Even Shen Luming was holding a candy jar. He really never forgets to eat!

The things were loaded into three horse-drawn carriages. Shen Zhiqiu had never driven a horse-drawn carriage before, but he had memories of driving one in ancient times.

He didn't dare ask his wife and children to ride in his carriage, and planned to let them ride in Uncle Li's carriage.

Shen Youyou can ride a horse nowadays. She winked at her mother and sat on the shaft of her father's cart.

With a "drive"

The horse trotted away, but was stopped by a man just as it was leaving the alley.

A scholar came to Shen Zhiqiu and said he wanted to borrow a book. What time is it now? Why are you still borrowing books?

Shen Zhiqiu said, "The books are in the study. Take whatever you like."

The scholar was stunned. When did Shen Huaizhi become so generous?

Huaizhi is Shen Zhiqiu's pen name!

Shen Zhiqiu shook off the scholar's hand, held the reins and said:

"Brother Wenbo, to be honest, you need to pack up and leave. We are going to recruit soldiers. All four of your brothers will be drafted, with only one under the age of 10 left.

Don’t look for books, why would you read books when your life is about to end? And don’t spread the news around, or the government will close the city gates early, and no one will be able to escape! ”

"Ah?" Ma Wenbo was stunned. He really didn't expect to hear this news and couldn't help but exclaimed.

He stammered, "I...I understand. I'll go back and pack my things and run!"

He ran a few steps and then stopped. With mixed feelings, he looked at Shen Zhiqiu and bowed: "Brother Huaizhi, take care!"

The carriage continued to move, and Shen Youyou suddenly said, "Dad, a city dweller, can anything be good?"

Shen Zhiqiu understood that his daughter was too soft-hearted. Children have been taught since childhood to be helpful!

Suddenly I was transported here and was in a hurry to escape the famine. I had no memory of ancient times, and my mind was full of 21st century civilized thoughts!

Shen Zhiqiu sighed deeply and said softly, "My daughter, if fewer people know about this, maybe more people can escape. If it gets out, then they really can't escape."

When they were leaving the city gate, they were still stopped. Perhaps because they had too many horses, the guards came over to ask questions!

When the guard saw Uncle Li, he said, "Another escort? Why are there only a few of you with so many horses?"

"Brothers, stay behind. The old shopkeeper is gone. We have sold our escort team and are following the new shopkeeper back home!"

Uncle Li is obviously a veteran. He is so calm and composed. He even stuffed a tael of silver into the guard's pocket and said he would treat the brothers to tea.

The three members of the Shen family were so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats. Fortunately, the guard took the silver and let them go happily without asking any more questions!

Uncle Li answered in this way so as not to arouse suspicion when his brothers from the escort agency leave with their families!

When the carriage really drove out of the county, Shen Youyou couldn't help but look back, although she had only been here for a short time.

But I also feel sad for the people in the county who don’t know what their future fate will be.

She really wanted to say, you princes and grandchildren of the emperor, if you want to fight for the throne, just pick up your weapons and do it yourself!

The less one is killed, the better. Wouldn't it be if the last one alive could become the emperor?

Why are ordinary people always the ones who suffer? What have ordinary people done to offend anyone?

You are the ones who enjoy the best food and drink the best drinks! You are the ones who hold the power! You are the ones who have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines!

It seems that ordinary people should be your cannon fodder!

Shen Zhiqiu saw that Shen Youyou was worried, so he reached out his hand to touch her head and said:

"My daughter, when I finally got out, I left a note in our school. When someone goes to school tomorrow, they will see it. Maybe a few more people will be able to escape!"

Shen Youyou nodded. She knew she was a little hypocritical! She just couldn't control her emotions!

Again, living in the 21st century, how could a peace-loving flower-growing kid have ever seen these things?

Modern conscription is voluntary, but it was compulsory in ancient times. What’s even worse is that a family must keep a 10-year-old boy…

At this moment, there was a click! Suddenly, the absent-minded Shen Youyou was almost thrown off.

Fortunately, Shen Zhiqiu was quick enough to pull her away, and now she didn't dare to be distracted again!

Even if you can't help, you should try to avoid causing trouble for adults.

"My daughter, please go to the carriage shed. I am very familiar with driving this carriage and I can get the hang of it quickly!" Shen Zhiqiu said in a low voice.

Shen Youyou obediently got into the car.

At this time, Dahu rode over on horseback and said to Shen Zhiqiu, "Son-in-law, follow me, don't take the main road!"

After saying that, he rode his horse and led the way. More than fifty horses followed behind him, and instantly surpassed the carriage of the father and daughter!

Raise a cloud of dust!
