Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

It would be hard to say what would happen tomorrow, so they went straight to the city gate.

In front of the city gate, more than twenty soldiers guarding the gate stood majestically.

They were all dressed in armor and held spears in their hands.

Master Bai and others arrived at the city gate and saw that the soldiers had serious faces and vigilance in their eyes.

Master Bai quickly bowed and said respectfully, "We want to leave the city and seek refuge with our relatives in other places."

The young general guarding the city gate snorted coldly and asked:

"What time is it now? Don't you know?

Can the city gates be opened randomly? We have to wait until morning."

Seeing this, Zhao Qiaoniang quickly took out a purse containing one or two taels of silver.

She held the purse in both hands, handed it to the official, and said, "Official, please take a look and give us some relief!"

The official saw that it was one tael of silver, coughed slightly, nodded, and said, "Alright! Then you can go ahead! Don't allow this next time!"

Several people immediately pushed the wheelbarrows and hurried out of the city.

The wheelbarrow made a creaking sound on the cobblestone road. No one dared to speak. Only after they left the city did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Qiaoniang said, "These officials are really scary..."

Master Bai said softly:

"These are all people who have been to the battlefield, so they look scary. I'm afraid the recent fighting has been intense and the disaster is serious.

These soldiers have just started collecting their city exit fees. Let's not worry about that. Let's find a place to wait for the people from Linjia Village."

Without waiting for the people from Linjia Village, there were ten of them, old, weak, sick and disabled, and they really couldn't go to Bianjing. They would encounter many problems along the way. Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Then let's find a secluded place to stay first."

They found a peach forest. All the peach trees had died. They found a relatively clean place, collected some grass, and spread it on the ground.

Then, they took out a worn quilt and gently placed it on the grass. Although it was simple, it became their temporary shelter at this time.

Lin Wanwan was so tired that she fell asleep quickly as she lay down on the grass covered with a torn quilt.

Naitang also fell asleep on the quilt. Zhao Qiaoniang said, "I wonder if they'll suspect we took it tomorrow when they discover the pass is missing?"

Master Bai said:

"Don't think too much. Since Sun Mei wants to harm us, she deserves it. I'm just afraid that the Sun family manager will send people to chase us.

We have to take turns keeping watch tonight. Since there are children here, my wife and I will go first.

Then the second wave is Cui Ya and the little carpenter, and the third wave is Mulan and Zhao Qiao Niang. What do you think? "

Cui Ya nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a nap first, and you can call me later."

Master Bai nodded and started to build a fire. The weather was getting a bit cold now, so Mrs. Bai put on a coat and said, "Old man, how long do you think we're going to be homeless?"

Master Bai hugged her and said, "It will be soon. Fallen leaves return to their roots. Once we return to Bianjing, we will never come out again."

Madam Bai wiped her tears and said, "Aren't we looking for a daughter anymore? Wuwuwu..."

Master Bai patted her, his nose sore as he said:

"Let's not look for her anymore. Maybe she's really gone. We don't have many years left to live. Let's just live a peaceful life for a few years!"

Look at your sweet boy, does he look like our daughter when she was little?"

Madam Bai gently touched Lin Wanwan's head with her trembling hands and said, "It's exactly the same. It feels exactly the same."

Master Bai smiled and said, "When we return to Bianjing, we will teach these children well. I think Lin Bolinsong is quite smart."

"Oh? I rarely hear you praise people like that!"

Master Bai laughed heartily and said, "I really think they are very smart. They understand things very quickly. Especially Lin Song. I asked him to recite the Hundred Family Names, and he memorized it after only reading it twice."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said:

"Then you have a good apprentice. I don't care. I will take care of Guaibao from now on and teach him everything I know.

I don’t know what’s going on, but every time I hug her, I have an indescribable feeling, sore and swollen.

Maybe it’s because I miss our little girl! I always treat her as my little girl.”

"Then just treat her as your little girl! This girl is so pretty..." Before Master Bai finished his words, he heard a voice from the woods.

"Are they really here?"

"Boss, can I still lie to you? It's right here. These people are quite rich and they actually bribed the generals guarding the city." Several people spoke in a low voice, but Master Bai was a martial artist after all, so he still heard it.

Master Bai said, "Everyone, wake up! Someone is coming."

Everyone opened their eyes, holding sticks in their hands, and those people surrounded them directly.

Suddenly someone yelled, "Ah...it hurts so much, I think I stepped on something."

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..." Wang Baochuan also screamed and raised his foot to see that it was covered in blood.

"What is this? Why are there all these spikes?"

Zhao Qiaoniang lit the torch, and Wang Baochuan took two steps back and said, "Zhao Qiaoniang, I finally found you..."

Wang Baochuan said, "Charge forward! This woman not only has silver but also food. She can even sell her child."

Wang Baochuan and his men rushed over aggressively, but they had not expected that as they went deeper, the spikes would become more and more dense.

These spikes are the traps carefully made by the little carpenter and Master Bai.

They simply cut the elm trees into sharp thorns. On weekdays, these thorns are placed on wheelbarrows and are inconspicuous.

When they need to set up camp, they will arrange these spikes, three layers inside and three layers outside, to form a solid protective barrier.

I didn't expect it would come in handy today.

Their feet were covered with sharp thorns, and every step they took felt like walking on the edge of a knife.

Wang Baochuan cursed, "Crazy woman, let us go! I'm Wang Qiuju's brother."

Zhao Qiaoniang already knew the whole story.

She held up a very thick piece of wood and asked, "Wang Qiuju asked you to come, right? What exactly do you want to do here today?"

Wang Baochuan quickly said, "I heard from Qiuju that you have food here, and we are here to borrow some."

Mulan laughed heartily, her eyes full of mockery. "You brought a dozen people to us just to borrow food? Do you think we believe you?"

Wang Baochuan was in a very miserable state at this time, and his tears could not stop flowing.

He looked at his bloody feet, his heart filled with despair, thinking that his feet might be broken.

He cried, "My sister is waiting for me not far away. Can you please let me go?"

Zhao Qiaoniang took a piece of wood and hit Wang Baochuan hard, saying:

"Wang Baochuan, do you think I will let you go just by mentioning Wang Qiuju?

You really think we're easy to bully, don't you? "
