Xie Songlin looked at Xie Wanxing in disbelief: "Axing, what do you know?"
Xie Wanxing said hurriedly: "The Yongzhou magistrate has committed treason. Yongzhou has been captured by the Xiongnu. They will attack Miaozhou soon. We have to go to the capital."
"You know it too? How did you know?" Xie Songlin was even more surprised.
"It's my cousin. He just came home. He left right after he finished speaking and gave me this jade pendant so we could go to the capital." Xie Wanxing immediately pulled out the jade pendant with the word "Ling" engraved on it. "Dad, how did you know this?"
Xie Songlin said, "It was Mr. Zhao. He just came back and told me that the academy must evacuate the students immediately and let them go home."
"There are too many details to worry about. We just need to evacuate quickly! We can discuss other things on the way." Xie Wanxing frowned and grabbed Xie Songlin's hand. "Dad, can you ask Uncle Liu to get a carriage quickly? The road to the capital is long, and Ayao is still young. We can't let him travel in the wind all the time. And grandma is old. It's best for them to take the carriage, and we can use an ox cart to carry the rest of the things. I'll put a lot of things into the space later."
Xie Wanxing took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart, which was pounding with fear and panic. "And, and... the new wheat seeds in the village! We can't keep them. If the Xiongnu find out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I took people to shovel it overnight?" Xie Songlin also thought of this, and his face looked a little ugly.
"No, there are so many fields. Even if we bring people to shovel the wheat overnight, it will be too late. And think about it, we are on the road to escape. If others see us shoveling the wheat while running, they will definitely be suspicious." Xie Wanxing narrowed his eyes. "How about we pretend there is a fire and set it on fire?"
"What do you want to learn about fortifying the city and clearing the countryside? You'll end up setting fire to the mountain and spending your life in jail. It's a pity you could think of that." Xie Songlin's eyes widened when he heard it. He raised his hand and slapped Xie Wanxing on the forehead.
Xie Wanxing: "This is ancient times, how can you spend your whole life in prison?"
Xie Songlin: "No matter where you are, setting fire near the forest will definitely result in imprisonment. And if the fire spreads, can you control it? You should stop thinking of bad ideas."
"I think I have another idea."
"What else do you have in mind?" Xie Songlin felt that his daughter's brain was working too fast. She was just thinking about those unreliable ideas, and now she came up with new ideas.
"First, go and send everyone off from the farm and gather them all into our village. We'll go there in the middle of the night and use an off-road vehicle to thrash the entire wheat field back and forth several times. The unripe grains that fall down can be collected into the space right away."
"Can you take them all?"
"No problem, as long as they don't grow in the soil, we can harvest what falls."
"Can this car still be used outside?" Cheng Hui looked at the two of them who had already discussed it and asked with some doubt.
"It works, it works. We secretly took it out a long time ago. It can start and the tank is full. We just don't dare drive it out."
Cheng Hui said, "Be careful, don't let anyone find out. If this SUV is discovered, it will be hard to explain."
Xie Wanxing nodded: "Don't be afraid, if anything happens, we can just take the car and the people into the space, and we won't be caught."
Xie Songlin said, "People from Zhuangzi, go find Xie Kang and ask him to bring everyone back to our house. We'll do it in the middle of the night, keeping it secret. I've already told my brothers and the others to go back and pack up. I've told the people from the cafeteria to pack up tonight and gather in our courtyard tomorrow. I'm going to buy Liu Yi a carriage and a few ox carts for the cafeteria staff."
Xie Wanxing was shocked: "Are you going to take them all with you?"
Xie Songlin: "That's natural. Besides, I won't stop doing business when I go to the capital. Those who are willing to follow me can follow me, and those who are not willing can run away on their own."
"Alright, enough talk. Let's split up. Go tell your grandmother and the others to pack up everything. Even though the space can hold everything, we still need to pack it up for show." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Songlin immediately left the space and hurried off to find Liu Yi to buy a carriage. After all, he and Liu Yi were good friends, and now that something big had happened, it was only right and proper for him to be informed.
Xie Wanxing and Cheng Hui also quickly came out of the space, and Xie Wanxing ran to inform Old Lady Shen of the situation.
Cheng Hui immediately called Li over and started packing up together. Li was originally doing her work quietly, but suddenly she heard Cheng Hui say that the Huns were coming. She was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. Her husband died at the hands of the barbarians.
Seeing this, Cheng Hui quickly reached out and gently held Li's arm, trying to calm her down: "Sister Li, don't be afraid, we will pack up our things now and leave immediately. We will definitely be safe, and Qiuyue and the others will be fine too, so don't worry."
Hearing Cheng Hui's comfort, Li Shi tried to free herself from the horrifying memory. She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Madam, I know."
The two of them immediately began to pack their things. There were many people in the family now, including Xie Wanxing, several young boys, sister Qiuyue, and brother Xie Kang. This family was fleeing, and they needed a lot of food, daily necessities, and bedding for the journey.
Wu Wei had already left with Cheng Fei. Xie Kang happened to come back to get something. As soon as he stepped into the house, Cheng Hui quickly caught him. Her face was full of anxiety, and she said quickly: "Xie Kang, this is urgent. Don't worry about anything else now. Go to the small village immediately and notify the people there to quickly pack up their belongings for escape and then gather back at our Xie family's courtyard. The Huns are coming. Time is running out and there is no time to delay. You must go and come back quickly!"
As Cheng Hui spoke, she pushed Xie Kang hard, urging him to leave quickly. Xie Kang was stunned at first, then realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn't bother to ask more questions, just nodded vigorously, then rushed out the door and drove the ox cart towards the small village.
Xie Wanxing ran all the way to Old Lady Shen, rushed into the yard, and saw Old Lady Shen sitting in the yard sorting vegetables.
"Grandma, grandma, hurry up and pack up." After shouting this, she was already exhausted. She bent down with her knees supported, gasping for breath.
After taking a breath, she raised her voice again, her voice trembling slightly with anxiety: "The Huns are coming, grandma, hurry up and pack your things, let's run together."
