Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

When Tian Xiu'e heard that she and Yang Sanlang were going on a long trip, she was immediately puzzled.

"Yan'er, what are you and Sanlang up to?"

The last time they went out was because the northern barbarians were causing trouble, and they were going to fight the barbarians. What is it for this time?

I hope it's not because of some kind of war again.

Zhao Yan smiled and patted Tian Xiu'e's hand twice reassuringly.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious this time. Sanlang and I are going to find something, but it's in Yulin Mountain, so it might take a long time, probably more than a month."

As for what exactly she was looking for, she couldn't say for the time being.

The reason is simple: she herself wasn't entirely sure.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiu'e breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, as long as it's not war, you and Sanlang just go about your business. I'll take care of Xiaomi and the others."

Whether you watch one person or a group of people, it's all the same; you can do whatever you want at home.

Chen Qingjiao, who was standing nearby, said to Zhao Yan, "Aunt Zhao, there's me too. I can also help you take care of Xiaomi and the others."

More than three years have passed since they left Chenjiagou.

She'll be fifteen soon, and her mother says that at fifteen she'll be of marriageable age and can get married.

Therefore, after the New Year this year, her mother stopped her from going to the school across the street to study and only let her study at home by herself.

In her spare time, she would also learn needlework from her mother.

Zhao Yan smiled and reached out to pat Chen Qingjiao's head.

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, thank you Jiaojiao for helping to look after Xiaomi and the other two. I left a lot of snacks at home. You can take Xiaomi and the others to eat as much as you want later. Just make sure to keep an eye on them and don't let them eat too much at once."

Chen Qingjiao's eyes lit up immediately when she heard about food.

"Yes, Aunt Zhao, don't worry, I know what to do."

Wow, that's great!

The snacks Aunt Zhao mentioned must have been taken from the fairy sister again.

She loves the snacks Aunt Zhao brings out; the taste is really addictive for her.

Seeing her daughter's eyes light up at the mention of food, Tian Xiu'e couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Well, I see that not only are Xiaomi and the others greedy, but even Jiaojiao has become especially greedy now. Jiaojiao, you're the big sister, so don't try to take things from Xiaomi and the others."

Chen Qingjiao was so embarrassed by her mother's words that her little face turned rosy, making her look even more delicate and beautiful.

Zhao Yan chuckled as she looked at him, then reached into her bosom with her right hand. When she pulled it out, a plate of cheesecake was lying in her palm.

"Come on, Jiaojiao, I know this is your favorite food, try it."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao."

With a blush, Chen Qingjiao took the cake from Zhao Yan and ate it gracefully.

"Sister Tian, ​​you should try some too."

Zhao Yan put another piece into Tian Xiu'e's palm, and ate the remaining piece herself.

The group chatted and laughed for a long time before Zhao Yan hurriedly went home to pack her things.

As for Yuan Yutang and Su Yanzhi, they didn't learn until dinner time that Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang were going on a long trip.

Knowing that the two of them were just going out to look for something, the two of them didn't say anything, only telling them to be careful and take good care of themselves while they were out.

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang rode away from the farm.

Zhao Yan recalled that when they came down the mountain, they were in Wei County, which was under the jurisdiction of Wei County in Yizhou, and the place where she found Chen An should be south of Wei County.

Therefore, she decided to go to Weixian first, and then enter Yulin Mountain from Weixian.

The two traveled along the official road, stopping and starting, and finally entered Weixian County ten days later.

Two or three years ago, Wei County experienced a siege by refugees. At that time, the city was ravaged by the refugees, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.

The city is now completely transformed, clearly renovated by the new magistrate after the country was stabilized.

After traveling for more than ten days, Zhao Yan felt unwell all over, so she said to Yang Sanlang, "Sanlang, there is an inn ahead. Let's stay there for the night and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
