Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Sure enough, Li Lanzhen brought her two children to the foot of the mountain. What they saw was a tragic scene. There was blood everywhere and people lying everywhere screaming and wailing after being chopped. Almost all of them were women and the elderly.

All the young and middle-aged men were missing, probably having been captured. What was even worse was that she searched everywhere but could not find her son and Xue Bao and the others.

Goudan ran over sweating and said, "Grandma Lanzhen, I can't find my second uncle and the others."

Han Yinan also ran over and said with red eyes, "Grandma, my second uncle is missing? Uncle Xue Bao didn't see him either. All the uncles in our Hanjia Village are missing." After saying that, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face.

Goudan said, "I asked an old lady, and she said they were all taken to the city. They were beaten badly by the soldiers."

A surge of anger suddenly rose to the top of Li Lanzhen's head.

If I don't show my power, you think I'm a sick cat, right? Okay. I'm going to break into this Ankang City and see what's going on inside.

"Goudan, Yinan, the two of you look along the city wall and look for the dog hole. After we find the dog hole, we will wait until dark to enter the city."

Goudan said, "Okay, Grandma Lanzhen, come with me over there. Usually the dog holes on the city wall are on the east side."

Li Lanzhen asked doubtfully, "Is there something special about this?"

Goudan said, "Generally, the people who live on the west side are poor, and the children of poor families dig a dog hole on the east wall to make it convenient for them to go in and out, and to get out of the city if they find something valuable."

Li Lanzhen nodded and followed Goudan towards the east of Ankang City.

Wherever they passed, there were crying and shouting crowds. Li Lanzhen walked over quickly. She didn't want to look at them any more. She felt very uncomfortable. Seeing the helplessness and sadness in their eyes, she had no choice.

After arriving in Dongcheng, there was no one around.

Li Lianzhen chose a dry grass field with some tall trees around. Although the leaves were dry and yellow and falling, they were still there for support. She sat down and leaned against a tree. "This is fine. You two should go find a dog hole first."

Goudan and Yinan agreed happily and ran away.

In less than half an hour, the two little guys came back.

Goudan said, "Grandma Lanzhen, we found a dog hole. We went in to take a look. As soon as we got in, we saw the wall of a large courtyard. We quickly retreated."

Yinan said, "Yes, grandma, as soon as we went in, we smelled the fragrance of food and heard many people talking in the yard in front."

Li Lanzhen wanted to go in during the day, observe the terrain, find Han Mingjiang and the others, and then rescue them at night.

She told the two little ones, "You two stay here. Grandma will go to the city first to see where your second uncle is imprisoned. After we have scouted the terrain, we will move at night."

Han Yinan grabbed Li Lanzhen's sleeves tightly, shook his head and said, "No. Grandma, we can't separate. If you want to go in, we will go in together."

Goudan also looked at Li Lanzhen with firm eyes.

Li Lanzhen thought about it and realized it was a good idea. If they got separated again, where would they find the two children?

The three men quickly arrived at the dog hole.

Goudan went in first, then whispered to Yinan to come in quickly.

Li Lanzhen entered the city through a dog hole. This dog hole in the city wall was as far away from the city wall of the wealthy family they were talking about as the entrance of an alley.

The three of them brushed off the dust on their bodies. Li Lanzhen wiped the two children's faces, straightened their hair, and brushed off their clothes. She told them to clean up, otherwise they would mistake us for refugees and arrest us, which would be troublesome.

Li Lanzhen took out a small bundle of dry grass from the backpack, grabbed a handful of grass, twisted a rope, tied it up, and gave it to Goudan to hold. She also took out a dozen dry twigs and gave them to Han Yinan to carry.

She carried a basket with some wild vegetables in it. Then the three of them walked out along the alley. Not far away, they arrived at a busy street.

There are still quite a lot of people setting up stalls in the market, and quite a few people walking on the streets. The shop doors are all open, and there are snack stalls and miscellaneous daily necessities next to them. The quiet and orderly life in the city forms a sharp contrast with the misery outside the city.

Li Lanzhen sighed deeply in her heart. They were all citizens of the Li Kingdom, but their fates were different! The people outside the city were separated from their wives and children, injured and bleeding, but the people in the city were still doing business and living their lives well.

The fastest place to get information would probably be restaurants and taverns.

Li Lanzhen saw a small shop selling wonton noodles, so she took her two children and found a table by the window to sit down.

The waiter immediately ran over with a smile, looking at their ragged clothes without any disdain, and asked Li Lanzhen, "Auntie, what would you three like to eat?"

“Three bowls of wontons.”

"One tael of silver."

"Hiss. One tael of silver? Eat silver!"

"Auntie, the price of food changes every day. Besides, our wontons are filled with fresh pork."

Goudan and Han Yinnan both swallowed their saliva, thinking that Li Lanzhen probably didn't have even a tael of silver, since she was the one who said she didn't want to eat anymore.

Li Lanzhen took out a tael of silver from her bosom and handed it to the waiter.

"Come up to Chaos. Can you fill our water bladders?"

"Okay, I'll do it." The waiter happily took the silver and water bag and turned away.

The three of them sat at the table with teacups and water, looking out the window.

"Uh, cough, cough."

Han Yinan pointed outside with a look of horror on his face, and he choked while drinking water.

Li Lanzhen Zhuantou also saw it. There were a group of about a hundred people outside, all of them strong men, with ropes tied behind their backs. There were soldiers following them on both sides, waving sticks in their hands and hitting them from time to time.

Among these people were the members of the Hanjia Village guard team. Of course, Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang were also in the crowd.

One of Xue Bao's legs must have been injured, and he was dragging on the ground. Han Mingjiang's face was covered in blood, and he didn't know where the injury was. He supported Xue Bao with his tied hands.

Perhaps it was because Li Lanzhen and the others' eyes were too intense, Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang looked up and saw Li Lanzhen and the two children.

They felt warm in their hearts, their mother (Aunt Lanzhen) came to save them.

Goudan stood up and whispered, "I'll follow them and see where they are being held."

Li Lanzhen nodded, "Okay, come quickly, we'll wait for you here."

At this time, people in the restaurant also began to whisper.

"Hey, look, another group has been captured. They are all refugees from their hometowns. Now that they are captured, what will happen to their wives, children, and parents?"

"King Jin is not a kind person. If he doesn't conscript men, what can he do? The princes in the fiefdoms are frantically hoarding food, conscripting men, and repairing the city walls."

"You guys aren't going to leave? We have to leave here in three days. Otherwise, we will be taken to the battlefield one day."

Three bowls of wontons came up and Goudan also came back.

He whispered, "Grandma was locked up in the government yard. The cells were full, so she was tied to a stake in the yard."
