Chapter 356 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 7
Before leaving, they not only filled their water bags, but also filled two and a half earthenware jars used for boiling water and cooking. In the morning, while her eldest daughter was cooking, Xiao Yun weaved a backpack with rattan strips from the yard.
After leaving the village, they returned to the same road they took yesterday. As soon as they got on the road, Xiao Yun heard Xiao Lin's voice.
"Boss, I'm back. Are you guys leaving now?"
Xiao Yun glanced at the grass beside the road which was moving slightly. This guy was following them.
"You're back just in time. I didn't expect you didn't come back all night. Did you run away? I left a note for you."
Xiao Lin: "It's not far. I found the place and took a look there. This will help you save time, Boss~"
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and praised directly: "Well done, I'll find some energy to reward you later."
The male protagonist's system is pretty good. After Yaoyao figured it out, he gave it to Xiao Lin to absorb. There must be a lot of energy in it.
"Hehehehe... I know the boss is the best~"
"You go into my backpack first, and I'll figure out how to get you across when we get to the next resting place."
"Okay~"
Xiao Yun was originally walking a little behind his two daughters, which made it easier for Xiao Lin to climb into the backpack.
She felt the clothes at the back become tighter, like a grasshopper jumping on her body, and moving up little by little until she entered the backpack.
"You said you found the place. Where is it? How far is it from here? What's the situation over there?"
After making sure it had come up, Xiao Yun started to ask about the main business.
"It's in a town thirteen miles to the southeast. There's no martial law in the town, and quite a few people are still there. They've occupied a rich family's yard and locked up quite a few people inside. They're probably captured soldiers. I heard from the people guarding outside that they didn't capture enough people, so they'll probably have to run around for another two days."
Xiao Lin told her the information he had obtained.
Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. This was good news. They could take advantage of the time when the officers and soldiers were arresting people to do something.
Thinking of this, he took out a powerful pill and pretended to adjust the backpack, but actually handed it to Xiao Lin and asked him to put it into the earthen jar.
Since she had decided to go to the town, she didn't go out of her way to find a village to rest. Of course, she would still go in and take a look if she saw one on the road.
The villages she encountered later were not burned down, and although there was nothing there, she could create conditions herself.
She found a brick house in a village and took the opportunity to put some small coins and jewelry in the gaps between the cabinets.
She also took out two wooden hairpins, which she had carved herself when she was free. They were made of wood from the space, and they were not only extremely hard but also had a faint fragrance.
Xiao Lin was mixed in with them, and the two hairpins were given to the two daughters, and they wore the wooden bracelets that Xiao Lin had made.
Of course, she has an identical one in her space, so Xiao Lin can replace it when she goes out.
Mingyue and Mingxing liked the hairpin very much. Although the pattern was just ordinary wood, the pattern was of daisies, and it had a fragrance.
They also found some salt and dried vegetable leaves in the village and cooked some to eat. Then Xiao Yun took them towards the town that Xiao Lin mentioned.
When they were more than five miles away from the town, they began to see people. Xiao Yun was mentally prepared, but the two little girls were so scared that they pulled their mother to hide in the ditch.
If it weren't for his height, Xiao Yun would have been almost lifted up by them. The powerful pills were not taken in vain.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, don't be afraid, there are two old ladies ahead. Let's find out where the front is."
The two sisters then withdrew their feet, as one of them had already stepped into the ditch.
"Mom, why are there old women here? Could it be that their family members left them behind when they fled? Or are they the same as us?"
Gu Mingxing looked over there and said curiously.
There were indeed two old women in their forties or fifties, sitting under a tree to rest. They had been walking uphill before, so they were only seen after they reached the top of the hill.
The two old women obviously saw them as well. They picked up the bundle at their feet with some caution at first. When they saw that there were only three women, they relaxed a little, but still held the bundle in their arms.
Xiao Yun and the other two walked forward, and the mother asked, "Excuse me, are you two from here? My mother and I are passing by here, and we would like to ask what is ahead?"
One of them had single eyelids, high cheekbones and a thin face, while the other had double eyelids, a flat nose and a round face. They looked her up and down, and the round-faced one said, "Five miles ahead is Crescent Moon Town, which has been occupied by soldiers and bandits. It's better for you not to go there."
He didn't talk about his own affairs and was very cautious, but he had a good heart and was willing to remind them not to go there.
Xiao Yun glanced at Mingyue and Mingxing, and saw some fear in their eyes, but also some eagerness to try. He knew that the two children thought that their father and brother might be here.
He bowed to the round-faced woman and said softly, "Thank you for your advice, elder sister. I wonder if there are still people left in Crescent Moon Town. We are going there to visit relatives."
The two women looked at each other, and the round-faced woman said, "Yes, there are. It's easier for the rich to pay their military service with money. For those who don't have money, I'm afraid all the young and strong men in their families have been arrested. If you have other places to go, it's best not to take risks. Who knows if those soldiers and bandits will suddenly revolt..."
Xiao Yun sincerely thanked the other party again. Of course she knew that there was someone there, and he wanted to let his two daughters know so that he could get away with it openly.
Although the hero was recruiting soldiers, he actually issued an order not to disturb the people. His goal was to rule the country, so of course he didn't want to lose the people's support first.
However, it was impossible for the people below to be completely obedient, and the people were already fleeing from famine, which made them even more frightened, so in the end most of them were arrested by force. The only discipline that was enforced was not to touch women and children or kill people at will.
Of course, the original incident was an accident. She stepped forward and grabbed the soldier who had captured her husband, trying to save him. She also bit the soldier's arm, and was beaten by another soldier.
The other party didn't actually mean to kill him, otherwise they would have hit him in the head. But he was originally thin, and the blow also caused internal injuries. In addition, he was anxious and sad afterwards, and he didn't receive any treatment, and he had no food or water, so he died.
Even so, Xiao Yun would not have a good impression of the male protagonist. Anyone who increases the difficulty of her mission is an enemy.
Under the complicated gazes of the two women, the mother and her two daughters quickened their pace and headed towards Crescent Town.
After walking out of the sight of the two people, Gu Mingyue looked at Xiao Yun and said: "Mom, do you think Dad and brother will be imprisoned in that town?"
Gu Mingxing also looked at her expectantly.
