Mrs. Yang had already packed her things. They had known for a long time that something would happen tonight, so they only took out a few things for cooking, and didn't unpack the other luggage at all. Others were not as relaxed as their family.
Just as they were about to rest, they suddenly heard that bandits were coming and they had to travel all night. Those families that had not been prepared at all suddenly became a mess.
The children were crying and the adults didn't care to comfort them, which made the atmosphere even more tense.
Mrs. Yang sighed, she couldn't tell this matter in advance, otherwise the bandits wouldn't be fooled. The same would have happened to them if her granddaughter hadn't heard the news from Mr. Song.
"Auntie, has your house been tidied up?"
When Mrs. Yang heard the sound, she stood up and saw Blacksmith Wu's house.
"Auntie, what do you think is going on?" Qiao asked, "Why did you suddenly say that there were bandits?"
Mrs. Yang has known Mrs. Qiao's temperament for a long time. On the surface, she has a smile on her face, but she may not know what she is thinking in her heart.
"The two eldest brothers of the Zhao family came to my house before and said that they would get together to rest tonight," said Qiao. "How could we not be willing to do such a good thing? We are all old and young in the family and there are too many troubles, so we are afraid.
A drag on your home.”
When Qiao said this, she seemed to have thought of something: "The hillside collapsed before, and we all said it was thanks to Sister Luo, otherwise we would have been buried."
"Really?" Mrs. Qiao didn't mention Luo Yatou, and Mrs. Yang was ready to let it go, but now she suddenly became angry.
Old Mrs. Yang said: "Don't you think our family has recruited the God of Plague, and it almost got you involved?"
Qiao's smile suddenly froze on her face: "Ma'am, what are you talking about?"
Old Mrs. Yang continued: "Looking at the mess everywhere, do you want my family to come over and help?"
"Bah, what a good idea," Old Mrs. Yang spat, "Come here when you see an advantage, and hide when you see others are in trouble. Do you think I am stupid or blind? Why can't I help you?"
Mrs. Qiao didn't expect Mrs. Yang to curse loudly, and she immediately became angry and wanted to retaliate.
"Don't secretly make plans for our family, otherwise..." Old Mrs. Yang rolled up her sleeves, "Even though my old lady is old, I can still catch you."
Seeing that the Zhao family was fine, Ms. Qiao thought about asking some of the Zhao family's daughters-in-law to help her. Who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Yang pointed her nose in and scolded her.
"Hey, we are all neighbors," said Qiao, "I don't care if I don't help, but still doing this...it's really heartless."
Luo Zhenniang was afraid that her old lady would suffer a loss, so she had already greeted her. When she saw this, she looked at Mrs. Qiao with a cold face: "We are leaving soon, pack up and go first, but no one is waiting for you."
Mrs. Qiao thought about the messy things in her house. Since she couldn't get any benefits, she could only rely on herself. How could she have time to tangle with Old Mrs. Yang again.
Mrs. Qiao stamped her feet: "No wonder Mrs. Zhao left. From now on..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Yang was afraid that she would catch up and beat her, so she ran forward in a panic.
Mrs. Yang's eyes widened: "That's because he has no eyesight like you, and he will prevent you from seeing jokes in the future. Please come back next time and see if I don't beat you out."
Luo Zhenniang and Mrs. Tao and Mr. Ge hurriedly stepped forward and patted Mrs. Yang on the back: "Mom, we can't be angry."
Old Mrs. Yang said: "Don't be angry, you have to scold people like this away to prevent them from sticking up. I tell you, the more times this happens, the more you need to stay away from these people, otherwise they will definitely die."
you."
Several daughters-in-law nodded along.
"Milk."
Zhao Yuanrang's voice came, and several people turned to look over and saw Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing holding torches, followed by Zhao Luoyang, and behind Zhao Luoyang were Mr. Song and Song Er.
Everyone stood together, and Mrs. Yang glanced over to Mr. Song. The stingy old man actually came to their side. However, the old man still had such a bad temper. Standing on the edge, he almost looked up to the sky.
Well, he looked like he was ignoring people.
So powerful, why did you give so many things to her granddaughter? Don’t you think her granddaughter has been a big help?
Zhao Xueli said: "I'm going to see the Ding family and the Niu family. If they are ready, we will set off."
As soon as Zhao Xueli finished speaking, he heard noisy footsteps. Apparently someone left first.
When these people heard that there were bandits, they did not bother to pack up properly and immediately ran for their lives. How could they listen to Zhang Dianli's arrangements?
Mrs. Yang shook her head: "How can you go far in such a panic?"
I didn’t have food or water ready, and I lost all my energy after walking around.
When Mrs. Yang thought of this, she wanted to praise her Luo Yatou for cooking the food in advance and everyone was full and full, so it was not difficult to walk all night.
After a while, six members of the Ding family, three members of the Niu family, and Widow Xie's mother and daughter all rushed over.
Everyone lit a few more torches, and Zhao Xueyi handed the prepared sticks to his two brothers, the Ding family and his son, and the Niu family and his son.
Ding Maosheng looked at the stone tied to the stick. This thing was much more powerful than a stick in hitting people. Their family had received a lot of favors from the Zhao family along the way.
Old Mrs. Yang said: "This is what my sister Luo thought about. When it is done, it will be ready and I will give one to each of you."
Ding Maosheng said sincerely: "Sister Luo is still smart."
That's what Mrs. Yang agrees with from the bottom of her heart. She can't wait to make up for all the criticisms everyone has made about her granddaughter over the years.
Ding Maosheng's daughter-in-law, Tian, found Zhao Luoyang behind her and smiled at him.
Zhao Luoyang also responded with a smile. At this moment, in her mind, the charm of Widow Xie from Song Er, Ding family, Niu family, and Xie was rising.
[Charm value 1]
[Charm value 1]
…
Zhao Luoyang was wondering how much the charm value could increase when a figure walked over quickly, and the increase in charm value also stopped at this time.
The visitor said: "Zhang Dianli asked me to tell you that there is a fight between the bandits and Huang Yachai."
The bandits and the government officials were fighting each other when they set off.
"Let's go quickly." Mrs. Yang shouted, and the group packed up their bags and walked toward the southwest.
In addition to them, other relocated people gradually joined in, and everyone walked on without saying a word.
Zhao Xueli found a lot of strong men here and arranged for them to guard the old, weak, women and children from the side.
Everyone saw Zhang Dianli informing Zhao Xueli, and Zhao Xueli looked a little more elegant, as if he was a man who had read books. In addition, his family was the first to discover the collapse of the hillside. After going back and forth, everyone began to trust Zhao Xueli's words more.
Naturally, he followed Zhao Xueli's arrangements.
It's hard to find the direction in the dark, but fortunately Zhao Luoyang has the opportunity.
Zhao Luoyang held the torch and walked in front, making it easier for Shijiu to see clearly what was going on around him.
"Take the road on the left," Shi Jiu said. "It has just rained here. The road on the right is covered with yellow mud. If your feet are stuck in it, you can't pull it out."
Zhao Luoyang immediately told his fourth uncle beside him.
Zhao Xueyi took a few steps quickly and stopped the person who was going to the right.
After walking for more than an hour, someone exclaimed: "The forest where we stopped before seems to be on fire."
In the dark night, the firelight is particularly conspicuous.
Zhao Luoyang stepped on a stone and looked down. It was the forest, but it was still some distance away from where they rested before.
In his mind, Shi Jiu said: "It's the bandits and the government officials. If they fight like this, the result will be known soon. If the bandits escape, they will chase after them."
When Zhao Luoyang heard this, he didn't hesitate and immediately called everyone to move on: "Let's go quickly! If the government officials are defeated, the bandits will come looking for us."
After walking all the way, Mr. Song was obviously a little tired and he was breathing heavily. Mrs. Yang was in good condition and could walk ahead without the help of Luo Zhenniang and others.
Song Er wanted to carry Mr. Song on his back, but unfortunately he was carrying so much baggage that he could no longer straighten his back.
Mr. Song gritted his teeth and pushed Song Er away and stepped forward. No matter how heavy his legs were, he had to...
Just when Mr. Song thought of this, his body suddenly became light, as if someone had lifted him up.
"Mr. Song," Zhao Xueyi said, "I will carry you on my back!"
Before Mr. Song could resist, he was pushed down on the wooden chair. Then Zhao Xueyi put the wooden chair back on his back: "This was originally made for my little girl Luo. Mr. Song, you are not much heavier than my little girl."
How could Mr. Song endure this? He hurriedly said: "No, I..."
Old Mrs. Yang said: "My son has a lot of strength. You can rest on his back before leaving."
They had to think of Mr. Song's kindness. Without Mr. Song, they would not have been able to escape first and let others know their kindness.
Mr. Song stopped talking and just let out a long sigh.
"Master," Zhao Luoyang walked quickly to catch up, "Let's continue to lead the way!"
Everyone continued walking, and after about half an hour, they saw people sitting down on the side of the road. They were those who left first. They walked in a hurry, without any preparation, and were already exhausted and unable to pick up their feet and continue moving forward.
"Give us some water!"
Only when the people on the roadside asked for help, a voice came from the bottom of the mountain: "Help... hurry... the bandits are chasing me."
