Chapter 24: Another bad news

"Your father is sitting in the oxcart of uncle Dayou's family in front. Nai Nai, your mother and the others are resting in the carriage. Your father and the old man have agreed that we should try not to stop on the road and take turns to get on the car and rest. Don't talk to each other.

A large number of refugees were walking together in the back."

No wonder several other wolves have also disappeared.

The queue was very long, but almost no one spoke, and the overall atmosphere was depressing.

"Bao'er, be good, go back to sleep. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"

Qi Bao'er shook his head and put it on Qi Kang'an's shoulder, falling asleep instantly.

Li Qin felt very sorry for Qi Bao'er. She glanced at the carriage in front of her and said dissatisfied to Qi Kangfu: "If the carriage hadn't been occupied, Bao'er could have slept in the carriage."

"It's not easy for the Erniu family. I'm pregnant. If I fall while walking in the middle of the night, I might lose two lives."

What else can be done? Dad has already agreed to let people follow him, so he can’t just ignore it, right?

"What I mean is that she is not sensible. She also has an ox cart at home. It is not the same as riding in her own ox cart. She will not catch a cold today. She just puts on a quilt. My mother politely asked her to get in the cart and she got in. Let's

Bao'er is still asleep."

They were so obedient that they had so many treasures, but they wanted their father to carry them all the way. They wanted to let outsiders sit in the carriage that could protect them from the wind and rain. It made no sense.

Qi Kangfu was actually a little dissatisfied, but he was a big man and it was hard to talk nonsense. Besides, people had already sat on them, so they couldn't pull them down again, right?

Patting his wife's hand comfortingly, Qi Kangfu turned around and asked Qi Kang'an, "Are you tired? I'll hold you when you are."

Even though Bao'er is only four years old and looks very lifeless, I have been holding two of them for a long time, and my hands are probably so sore that they are numb.

Qi Kang'an's hands were indeed sore, but Bao'er had just fallen asleep, and he was afraid that someone else would wake him up again, so he shook his head, "No, I can hold him for a while longer."

Wait until the baby is asleep again before changing.

Qi Kangfu agreed and turned around to talk to his wife in a low voice.

I'm tired and sleepy when I'm on the road in the middle of the night, so talking can cheer me up.

When Qi Baoer woke up again, he was in the arms of old man Qi. It was already dawn, and the team also stopped to rest. After all, people can take turns to rest, but how can animals take turns? They must always be given time to breathe.

"Bao'er, wake up, I'll wash your face." That's right, Qi Bao'er was woken up by old man Qi taking a cold washcloth and wiping it on his face.

"We guessed it right, darling, there are many big families who have received the news in advance. We just met one of them, and your father has already gone to inquire with others."

Their family is also funny. The person who is the most diplomatic is not Qi Kangtai, who is the most knowledgeable, but Qi Kang'an, Bao'er's biological father and the least fond of reading in the whole family.

We just stopped to give the animals a rest, and everyone was trying to get as much rest as they could get. No one started cooking, especially Lao Qi's family, who had plenty of dry food.

Qi Bao'er's breakfast consists of two rice balls and a boiled egg. Qi Bao'er's stomach is delicate, and the food he eats must not only be good but also hot, so Tian Sanglan specially brought a small stove with him on the road like this.

If possible, you can warm the baby's food.

After eating two warm rice balls, the little fat man was breaking egg shells with his hands, praying for Kangan to come back.

"Dad, something is not right."

Qi Kang'an pulled Old Qi to the side of a big tree and made sure no one could hear him before continuing:

"It's more serious than we know. And it's not just us who knows about it. Many places know about General Liu's retreat and massacre. Everyone in Sanhe Town ran away long ago. We knew it was already too late."

"Has everyone in Sanhe Town escaped?"

Qi Baoer also stopped and looked at his biological father.

"Yes, the family in front is from Sanhe Town. His wife's natal family is in Peifeng Town. He rushed to Peifeng Town to pick her up yesterday morning and left overnight.

He said that the county magistrate of Sanhe Town fled with his family a few days ago. The news was revealed to the county magistrate’s concubine’s mother-in-law’s family, and then spread the news. Now the big families in Sanhe Town have basically all disappeared.

They ran away, but some people still stayed in the town, but there was no government in charge of the town, and it was already a mess, with burning, killing, and looting happening everywhere."

"Hiss~" Old Man Qi took a breath, "Then when we enter the town, we will become a living thing."

Where can there be no second-rate people like this?

You said that in peacetime, there were people who controlled the gangs, but now that there is no one to control them, all the bandits are legal, right?

"There's one more thing, Dad."

Dad, please listen first and then be impatient.

"besides?"

Can't you tell it all at once?

"Well, Dad, that man said that Tongcheng has been short of rain and water for two years, but the taxes have not changed at all. If King Xuan wants to build a palace for the imperial concubine, it should be built at the intersection of Tongcheng and Acropolis.

Received corvée.

We are far away from the Acropolis and haven't been affected yet. The man said that people in Tongcheng had already fled last year."

But everyone was not stupid and they all fled towards the Acropolis of Luduo. They didn't hear any news from the Canaan City located at Hulukou.

Ordinary people just close their doors and live their own lives, especially in the countryside. They basically only focus on taking care of their own land. For them, it is not the government's special announcements of gongs and drums. They don't know how to do many things.

Might know.

The old man Qi stumbled, his legs weak.

"The whole city has been affected by the disaster, and many people are already fleeing. The Acropolis is cold, and Canaan City is massacring people. There is no way to survive."

Qi Bao'er almost missed the fall but his father quickly caught him: "..."

She slapped Old Qi on the shoulder with her backhand. In fact, she was used to hitting him in the face. Fortunately, at the critical moment, she remembered that this person was her father, so she changed her mind and didn't commit such an unfilial act.

Just now she was seriously struggling with the eggshell, but her hands were too fat and not very flexible. The eggshell seemed to have a grudge against her and she couldn't peel it off completely. She also had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and her whole body felt uncomfortable unless it was peeled off completely.

She was feeling unhappy when her father suddenly let go, which startled her. Do you think she was angry or not?

"Isn't it just running away? We are already running away now. Running away from disaster is running away. Running away from war is also running away. We escaped smoothly without encountering anything along the way. If we encounter someone, we will attack. As for the thousand people, we are afraid of a hammer.

"

"Pfft~" Qi Kang'an really couldn't hold it back.

He really didn't mean it. Look at what she said. A four-year-old baby is still afraid of a hammer. Can she be able to hold a hammer?

If he dared to laugh at her, Qi Baoer slapped his father on the chest with his backhand, "I'm not afraid if I say I'm not afraid. Let them try. I can't kill him."

"Dad is wrong, dad is wrong. How can you not believe in our treasure? Bao'er can kick people away from the air. Bandits and second-rates are nothing. Our treasure can crush them with one finger."

"Uh..., I didn't kick that one." She is an honest person and does not pretend to take credit.

"Ah?" It's not you. Is there really a ghost in the house?

Is there really such a thing as a master?
