When he said he was about to leave, the room suddenly became quiet.
For some reason, Nie Shuang looked at these people and thought of his brothers from the Wuwei Army. In fact, there was a big difference between the two. The soldiers of the Wuwei Army were all born into danger. Those who had seen fighting on the battlefield would show a chilling expression even if they remained silent.
gas.
These people in front of me are all ordinary people, unarmed, have no fighting spirit, and some are just simple and sincere.
But some places are similar. When encountering danger, no one is willing to leave alone first, which makes people unconsciously trust.
Ding Maosheng spoke first, "It should be useful for us to stay. There are more than ten men from sixteen households. If there is anything we can help with."
How much advantage have they taken along the way? Whether it was given by Nie Shuang or the Yamen Office, or it was obtained by Luo Jieer and Mr. Song for everyone, everyone has taken advantage of it, and no one has taken less. Now there are
If there is danger, no one can just leave like this.
Ding Maosheng continued: "We have been working at the racecourse these days, and we know a lot of people. At least we can help everyone get information. When the time comes, you will be busy dealing with Sun Ji. Someone has to watch the situation here to see if there is any trouble.
, it’s also good to send letters back and forth.”
"If the reinforcements cannot arrive in time, or if the reinforcements are short of manpower, we can still use sticks to resist Sun Ji. I cannot say that we can stop him, but it can be of some use."
Ding Maosheng said as he went to see Zhao Xueli: "This is how we deal with bandits in the mountain stream."
After saying this, the men suddenly gained a bit more momentum.
However, Zhao Xueli knew in his heart who the bandits were. Sun Ji had real soldiers and horses under his command, so that was definitely different. He had to stay no matter what, but he couldn't let the other sixteen families follow them.
, because this time it is really too dangerous.
Niu Daochang, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time: "Xue Li, Xue Jing, are you brothers ready to leave?"
Zhao Xueli shook his head subconsciously: "I..."
Niu Daochang stretched out his hand to stop him: "What you think, we think too. It was already agreed upon. If you start to run away, you won't enter Min County."
Feng Laosan also nodded: "What Sister Luo said makes sense. We stay here and let the aunt take the others away, so as not to cause trouble and we won't be able to take care of it."
"Our sixteen households are, to put it bluntly, one household now. Don't say we can't be persuaded to leave now. Even if we have to be sent out of the city, we have to turn back halfway. There are many things behind this, don't hesitate.
, let’s arrange it this way!”
Before Zhao Xueli could speak, Mrs. Yang next to her said, "Let's go."
Zhao Luoyang was just waiting for her grandma to speak. As soon as her grandma spoke, it was like making a decision.
In a room full of people, she was the oldest and the one who spoke with the strongest stance.
Old Mrs. Yang said: "I will take all the old, weak, women and children away. You should do whatever you want. There is no use for us staying here now. Instead, it will be a drag. After we leave the city, we will take a detour to Xizhou. If Sun Ji
Once the things here are done, you can come look for us again."
Mrs. Yang made a decisive decision, but she was also worried about the people left behind. She looked at Zhao Xueli and said, "You have to take good care of Sister Luo. If anything goes wrong with Sister Luo, I will never forgive you."
Zhao Xueli sighed inwardly. He wanted Sister Luo to go with him, but his mother's words blocked his words.
She was thinking in her heart, with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face. His mother had used her granddaughter to be lawless and then left her to him. How could he control her?
After everything was discussed, Mrs. Yang waved her hand: "Go ahead and let everyone make some preparations. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Ding Maosheng, Niu Daochang and others walked out of the house.
Having made up her mind, Mrs. Yang no longer hesitated. Her expression remained the same as usual, without any fluctuations. She turned to look at Luo Zhenniang: "Go and pack up all the dried wild vegetables, as well as those whole grains."
Pancakes, I'll go talk to the manager of the Di store and see if he can give us some more whole grains to take with us."
Luo Zhenniang also wanted to talk to Zhao Luoyang to see if she could take her daughter away, but she was stopped by Mrs. Yang.
"Don't waste your breath," Old Mrs. Yang said, "Don't you know how stubborn the daughter you raised is? It's useless to talk about it."
Luo Zhenniang stared at Mrs. Yang for a long time, and finally said: "I have been spoiled by you. According to my wife, after this incident, Sister Luo, please stop taking care of me. The more you take care of me, the more courageous you will be."
How is she used to it? Mrs. Yang is so angry that she wants to put her hands on her hips. In this family, she is the only one who scolds Sister Luo the most. She is too busy to leave and has no time to quarrel with her daughter-in-law, otherwise she will have to argue with her.
Zhao Luoyang watched her mother and her mother walk out of the kitchen and exhaled slowly.
"heard it?"
Zhao Xueli's voice sounded from behind, and Zhao Luoyang turned his head.
Zhao Xueli didn't know how to say good things to his daughter: "Do you really want to go?"
Zhao Luoyang nodded.
"Be sure to be careful, don't let your grandma and your mother worry," Zhao Xueli said, "If you are discovered by anyone, follow Mr. Nie and leave immediately. I just discussed with your third uncle and Mr. Nie that we will go together that day.
, I just need to stay far away so that I can respond to you if anything happens."
Zhao Luoyang responded and wanted to tell her father that she was still pretending to be Sui Ji, but when the words came to her lips, she shrank back. It was better not to scare her father.
Shi Jiu felt Zhao Luoyang's quietness: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Luoyang sighed: "I feel a little uncomfortable hiding it from Grandma and the others. Am I not suitable for lying?"
"Yes," Shi Jiu said, "it's not suitable to spread a little panic."
Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but want to laugh. At a time like this, there were many things that he couldn't say to others. Fortunately, Shi Jiu knew about it, otherwise she might feel uncomfortable with so many secrets.
"You still need to practice your tea-ordering skills," Shi Jiu said, "Do you want to exchange it for a few more books?"
Zhao Luoyang sighed: "Ordering tea and tasting tea seem to be more difficult than anything else."
Prepare the utensils, wash the tea, roast the tea, grind the tea, grind the tea, choose the water, make the fire, wait for the soup, take the cup, order the tea, divide the tea, etc. Do it one by one and learn about people's temperament.
Well, the tea she ordered didn't look like a painting, but looked like she had knocked over Mr.'s inkstone.
Zhao Luoyang asked cautiously: "That's almost enough, right?"
At this time, Shi Jiu was even harsher than Mr. Song: "No, if you can't practice well, you should just give up on pretending to be Sui Ji."
"Shi Jiu," Zhao Luoyang said, "are your demands too high?"
Shi Jiu said: "Sun Ji is more demanding than me. If you can't pass my test, what are you trying to do to deceive Sun Ji? You can find a place to practice more and I'll watch over it for you."
He had seen clumsy hands, but never such a clumsy one. When he asked her to light a flower, she did well, and they all fell together into a green heap.
Still want to muddle through? How could he let her go?
Zhao Luoyang begged: "Shi Jiu, why don't you help me."
Somehow, Zhao Luoyang felt that Shi Jiu didn't read the books redeemed by the system, but he knew how to order tea better than her.
If Shi Jiu could help her draw it.
Shi Jiu said: "No, I don't have much health." And it needs to be used in times of crisis.
