Lin Jiao's mind changed, and she took Jin Yu and the mule and followed.
"Sister-in-law..."
Just as Jin Yu was about to say something, Lin Jiao pulled her aside and said, "Shh, you are holding the mule here, don't wait for me to come back."
Lin Jiao handed the mule in her hand to Jin Yu and quietly ran into the small courtyard where the horses were sold.
As soon as she entered, she heard the horse dealer quietly asking one of the stewards, "Brother Zhang, why did these gentlemen suddenly buy so many horses? Did something happen?"
Manager Zhang looked around to make sure there was no one, and then quietly said to the horse dealer: "Brother, we have a good relationship, so I dare to tell you in secret that the King of Anzhou is coming soon, and all the old men who want to buy horses are
You are trying to escape for your life, so you should also run away for your life."
"What?"
The horse dealer was shocked.
Lin Jiao was also shocked.
King Anzhou actually rebelled in advance?
"This...is this true?"
The horse dealer asked, trembling with fear.
"How can this be false?"
The steward said in a low voice: "I heard that King Anzhou has already reached Qinghe Mansion, and blood flowed everywhere he passed, not even a chicken was left behind."
How miserable!
When Lin Jiao heard this, she didn't listen any more and quickly left the courtyard to find Pei Jinyu.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Jin Yu asked quickly when he saw Lin Jiao coming back with a bad look on her face.
"King Anzhou has already called, and has reached Qinghe Mansion now. Let's go shopping now and leave tonight."
Time cannot be delayed any longer.
When Jin Yu heard the news, he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time, and followed Lin Jiao out quickly.
Jin Yu didn't speak again until he was far away from the stable and almost reaching the car dealership.
"Sister-in-law, let's buy some knives."
At this time, leaving means running for your life.
No one knows who you will meet on the road, so it is safer to have a knife to defend yourself.
Lin Jiao looked at Jin Yu in surprise.
Pei Jinyu was a little embarrassed to be seen, "When my elder brother was here, he taught me some self-protection methods. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will protect you, my mother, my younger sister and Xiaoyan."
The young man's clear eyes were full of determination.
Of course Lin Jiao believed him.
"Sister-in-law, I listen to you."
Not even Pei Jinyu, Lin Jiao also wanted to get some knives.
It's best if someone in the family has a hand.
Lin Jiao took the mule to the carriage shop. Time did not allow Lin Jiao to make the mule carriage she wanted, so she could only spend two taels of silver to buy the strongest mule carriage in the shop.
After driving out of the dealership, Lin Jiao first went to the grain store to buy food, and then went to the cloth store to buy cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded clothes and some other things to keep out the cold.
Then he went to the drug store and bought some medicine for Jiang, as well as some medicine for injuries and medicine to treat wind, cold and fever.
She doesn't dare to bet now that King Anzhou can send troops to rebel in advance. Who knows whether heavy snow will fall in advance?
Pei Jinyu was driving the car, and he helped Lin Jiao move whatever she bought, without asking any questions, because he knew that what his sister-in-law bought was for the road.
It's just that he doesn't understand why his sister-in-law bought so many winter coats.
It's August now, and it's still a bit hot at noon even when I'm wearing single clothes.
After hiding the last few knives in the car, Lin Jiao only had one tael of silver left in her hand.
Looking at the silver in her hand, Lin Jiao sighed.
Whether in ancient times or in modern times, this money is the most uncontrollable thing to spend.
It was already afternoon when they left the county town. Lin Jiao and Pei Jinyu were driving a mule cart on the road, and they could already see people walking out in twos and threes carrying their baggage.
They hadn't seen it yet when they entered the county town in the morning.
"Jin Yu, we will enter the village in a while. You go home and pack your things first. I will go to Uncle Li Zheng's house."
Lin Jiao said.
Originally, Lin Jiao just wanted to take the Pei family away, but now I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do so.
Now many people know that King Anzhou has attacked. There will be more and more people fleeing on the road, and it will become more and more chaotic. Her family, old, weak, sick, and disabled, driving away like this will only become a problem in the eyes of others.
Fat sheep.
Although Lin Jiao has some skills, she still knows how much she weighs. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If you want to be safe, you need to find someone to accompany you.
Uncle Li Zheng has several sons in his family, so he is the best choice.
If there is someone in the village walking together, it is more reliable to go out in a village than to find a companion on the road outside.
When Lin Jiao said this, Pei Jinyu understood what Lin Jiao was going to do.
"Sister-in-law, you go home and pack your things. I'll go to Uncle Li Zheng's place."
Pei Jinyu said seriously.
Lin Jiao did not compete with Jin Yu, Jin Yu was indeed more suitable than her.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Jin Yu jumped out of the car and ran to Li Zheng's house, while Lin Jiao drove home.
Before they even arrived at the door, they saw Xiaoyan and Luoluo waiting at the door.
"Sister-in-law is back."
When Luoluo saw Lin Jiao, he ran towards Lin Jiao holding a bamboo tube.
Lin Jiao was afraid that the mule would hurt her, so she quickly jumped out of the car and walked over.
"Sister-in-law, you and your second brother have been here for so long. You must be thirsty. This is the cold water I gave you. It's not scalding anymore. Sister-in-law, drink it quickly."
"Thank you Luoluo."
The little girl is really a little cotton-padded jacket.
I am really jealous of Pei Yuan and want to take little Luoluo away.
"Sister-in-law, are these our mules and carts?"
Xiaoyan stood in front of the mule, looking at the mule cart in front of her with wide eyes, not daring to blink, for fear that the cart would disappear if she blinked.
"Yes, it belongs to our family."
Lin Jiao drank the water, put the bamboo tube on the cart, picked up Luoluo and put her directly on the mule cart.
"Luoluo, Xiaoyan, come and try out our car. Is it comfortable?"
Although the two children are eight years old, due to long-term malnutrition, they are only as tall as a five-year-old child.
"Dasou, I can climb up myself."
The second brother said that men and women sit on different seats at the age of seven. He is already eight years old and is a grown man. He cannot be held by his sister-in-law and must avoid suspicion.
Xiaoyan stuck her butt out and climbed into the car with a squeaking sound. She was so happy that she almost fell off again.
The aloof look from before is completely gone.
What should I do if I want to take away such a cute little brother?
"Is Jiaojiao back?"
Jiang's voice came from the courtyard.
Lin Jiao hurried over in the car.
"Mom, I'm back."
Entering the yard, Lin Jiao first carried Luo Luo down, and then watched Xiao Yan jump down. Then she tied the mule to a tree not far away and walked to Jiang's side.
"Luoluo, Xiaoyan, please go back to your room and pack your things. My sister-in-law and mother will have a few words."
Lin Jiao gave instructions to the two little guys before helping Jiang into the house.
"Jiaojiao, did something happen?"
As soon as he entered the room, Mr. Jiang hurriedly asked.
"Well, when Jin Yu and I came back from the county town, we heard that King Anzhou had already attacked, and now it has reached Qinghe Prefecture. Mom, we are leaving tonight."
Lin Jiao was afraid that Jiang would be scared, so she comforted her softly, "Mom, don't worry, I have asked Jin Yu to talk to Uncle Li Zheng, and we will go with Uncle Li Zheng and the others.
I have already bought things for the road. We will take the important things from home with us, and we will leave out all the unimportant things."
