Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!
Chapter 170 Leaving the Village
Not only the Song family, but at this moment, the entire Peach Blossom Village seemed to be shrouded in a tense atmosphere, with everyone busy or hurriedly packing their belongings.
Deep reluctance was evident on everyone's face, after all, every item in the house carried their memories and emotions over the years.
However, they knew in their hearts that the most important thing now was to survive and escape. Therefore, despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to harden their hearts and select the items that were essential for survival to take with them.
Peach Blossom Village enjoys a superior geographical location, being relatively close to the town, and has always been one of the most prosperous villages in the surrounding area.
That's why almost every household here owns an oxcart. So, the villagers got up early and carefully loaded their belongings onto the carts, securing them securely.
Inside the room, a woman stood quietly by the bed, gazing at her sleeping child with a tender yet helpless look.
The small body lay quietly, completely unaware of the impending change. The woman sighed softly, her heart filled with worry and unease.
On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao was methodically organizing the valuables in her home. She moved quickly and efficiently, storing all the valuables into her spatial storage.
As for the thick and heavy cotton-padded clothes, they were temporarily left outside for the sake of convenience in later use.
When Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze fell on the two adorable babies still in swaddling clothes, a strong sense of worry welled up in her heart.
Fortunately, she had previously tried bringing her children into the space, which made her feel a little more at ease.
However, what made her hesitate at this moment was whether this space could accommodate all the members of her family. If something unexpected happened and she faced a life-or-death situation, she probably wouldn't care about hiding the secret of the space anymore...
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for the villagers.
The entire village was shrouded in tension and unease; people tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Moonlight streamed through the window into the room, but it brought no peace whatsoever.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and illuminated the earth, that Song Wenjing's slightly weary figure slowly appeared before everyone.
He exuded a chilling aura, as if he had just returned from a snowy landscape.
Last night, he led the brave villagers to guard the village entrance to prevent any suspicious persons from taking the opportunity to invade.
After a whole night of vigil, fortunately, no abnormalities were found.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao at home had already packed most of her luggage.
Song Wenjing quickly walked to her side and tightly held her slender hands.
His eyes were filled with worry as he said softly, "We're about to leave here and head beyond the border."
The journey will surely be fraught with difficulties and dangers, and the thought of you and the child enduring the hardships of the journey fills my heart with unbearable sorrow!
Hearing his concerned words, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled gently.
He comforted her, saying, "Don't worry too much. Have you forgotten my skills?"
Despite Lin Xiaoxiao's words of comfort, Song Wenjing still couldn't help but repeatedly remind her, "When we're on our journey, I will definitely stay by your side, mother and child."
But we still need to breastfeed the child on the way, so the wet nurse may have to ride in the same carriage as us.
Be careful when you retrieve your things; don't let them notice anything amiss.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded to show that she understood, replying, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, everything will go smoothly."
Peach Blossom Village is located on the border of the Tianqi Dynasty and is frequently the site of war.
Yesterday's massacre must have been caused by barbarian invasion from the border.
Their arrival here signifies the fall of the border town.
They had to retreat to the next town before the enemy attacked.
As dawn broke, everyone began their busy day early, because today they were to migrate away from this familiar place.
As agreed beforehand, everyone would gather at the village entrance.
What is remarkable is that Lin Xiaoxiao's family alone prepared a total of four vehicles—two beautifully decorated horse-drawn carriages, a simple donkey cart, and a sturdy ox cart!
Just as dawn was breaking, Lin Xiaoxiao and her family had already arrived at the village entrance.
Ms. Su carefully placed the luggage in the car and checked to make sure nothing was left behind.
Other villagers also arrived one after another, each with a solemn expression and a sense of uncertainty about the future.
The villagers were well aware of the importance and urgency of this operation.
Therefore, even though it was still early, as the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, all the villagers had already gathered at the village entrance.
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village gazed silently at the village where they had lived for many years, their eyes revealing a deep sense of attachment and reluctance to leave.
Every inch of this land and every house here carries too many memories and stories for them.
However, at this moment, they have no choice but to leave their homes and search for a new place to live.
In stark contrast are the innocent and naive children.
Unaware of the adults' worries and concerns, they continued to play carefree on the cart. Some children even made funny faces at their friends.
"Okay, stop crying. Maybe we'll have a chance to come back again in the future!"
A burly man, fighting back tears, gently comforted his wife who was sobbing in his arms.
He hugged her tightly, unsure whether he was comforting his wife or himself.
At this moment, the village chief stood at the front of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
After confirming that no one was absent, he took a deep breath and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let's go!"
As the command was given, the convoy, which had been waiting quietly, slowly began to move.
The wheels creaked and groaned as they rolled, as if telling a story of sorrowful parting.
Lin Xiaoxiao and the child's wet nurse, holding the young child, sat comfortably in one of the spacious and comfortable carriages.
The driver was Song Wenjing, who skillfully maneuvered the carriage pulled by three fine horses, moving steadily forward.
Beside the carriage, a majestic white wolf with snow-white fur followed closely behind; this was Little White.
Xiao Bai vigilantly watched its surroundings, protecting Lin Xiaoxiao's safety.
And so, a long convoy slowly moved forward along the winding road.
A line of trucks, each loaded with all the villagers' belongings, stretched out into the distance like a giant dragon...
