Chapter 168 The father who sells his son and daughter 10
"You're doing a good job. You should be careful these days. After the news passes, take your family to the east. Apocalypse is about to be in chaos."
Yunfei handed him a bag of silver and said, "Here is a one hundred tael silver note, which is the reward we agreed on.
There are also five taels of copper plates and five taels of broken silver, which are given to you by my uncle. Take your brothers and sisters and live well."
The boy took the money bag and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yunfei a few times, "Master Lin, if my brothers and sisters and I are still alive in the future, we will definitely repay the kindness we owe you today."
"Go on, after walking out of this alley, we will pretend we have never met before."
The boy stood up, wiped away his tears, and ran out of the alley.
In Chunfeng Tower, you can still hear the panicked voices of people, pouring bucket after bucket of water on the flames.
Yunfei put Yao Daya into the carriage and quickly drove the horse to the city gate.
In order to make the escape route easier, he bought a carriage a few days ago and asked the groom to teach him how to drive the carriage during the day.
The horse was very thin in the lean years. In order to feed it, he bought grain and grass seeds and lavishly planted grain and grass in the pillow-sized piece of land he got.
With grain and grass harvested once every seven days, I don't know if the horses can be fed on that little land.
However, he purchased a carload of hay, which should be enough to last until the grass is stored enough for it to eat.
…………
Yao Daya was sitting in the carriage, nervously grabbing her cotton-padded jacket, her mind was very confused.
Now she is no longer a three-year-old child and understands that everything is unusual.
Is this person really her father? His face is indeed the one in his memory, but this father looks a little weird.
"Stop, why are you leaving the city so late?" The officers and soldiers stopped the slowing carriage and looked at the dark-faced man in front of them with vigilance. It was a bit suspicious to leave the city late at night.
Yunfei glanced around and didn't see the officers and soldiers collecting money that day, nor the soldiers guarding the city gate during the day.
So he lied confidently, "Master, we are from a nearby village, and we took my daughter to the city to see a doctor during the day.
This inn is so expensive, we can't afford it, and we have to rush back to return the village chief's carriage, so we left the city so late."
"Come down, we need to check."
"Daughter, come here, daddy will take you out and let the officials search you." Yunfei hugged Yao Daya, who seemed to be dependent but actually physically resisted, and moved him aside.
The horse was very thin, the carriage was very old, and there was nothing in it except a few packets of Chinese medicine tied together.
The leading officers and soldiers looked at the father and daughter. The man's skin was dark and rough, his clothes were shabby and patched, and there was a peculiar smell.
The cloth shoes under his feet were full of mud and he had no socks. He was indeed dressed like a peasant.
As for the little girl, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked sick.
She is cleaner and neater than her father, but her cotton-padded jacket is also very worn and patched, her shoes are also made of rags, and her little hands still have frostbite.
"Captain Zheng, nothing was found. There was only a pack of medicinal materials in the carriage."
"Yes! Let's go." Zheng Captou waved his hands to ask the officers and soldiers to get out of the way.
"Thank you, sir."
Yun Fei plays a peasant man who fears the officers and soldiers without any sense of disobedience.
He put Yao Daya back into the carriage, slowly drove the carriage out of the city gate, and headed for a dark path.
It wasn't until they left completely that Chief Zheng looked back and told everyone to cheer up and be careful of enemy spies sneaking in.
…………
"Hey!" Yunfei stopped the carriage and pushed away the big stone blocking the mountain next to him.
The people in the cave were Qin and Yuanyuan who had left the city early. Seeing him coming back, Qin stood up excitedly and looked behind him, "Where are the people? Where's Da Ya?"
She was a little anxious when she didn't see her daughter, and all kinds of bad fantasies came to her mind.
"Don't worry, my daughter is on the carriage. Come Yuanyuan, daddy will carry you into the carriage. We have to leave quickly, just in case they chase us out."
"Okay, okay."
Qin quickly walked out and climbed into the carriage, then took Yuanyuan and got into the carriage.
Seeing the familiar little figure sitting in the carriage, she burst into tears. She didn't dare to cry loudly, so she could only hug her tightly, not wanting to let go for a moment.
"Mother!" Yao Daya never expected that he would see his mother and younger brother again in this life, hugging them back tightly.
Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Yuanyuan didn't know why she was crying. She only knew that she was very sad and started to cry too.
Yun Fei put a thick quilt, a bag of bread, and three boxes of milk in the carriage, then whipped the carriage and started running.
…………
The carriage goes east...
At Chunfeng Tower, after the fire was put out, when we counted the people, we found that several people had fled.
The matchmaker was so angry that she asked the thugs to chase her. She also reported the case to the government, saying that a slave had escaped.
On weekdays, Chunfeng Tower pays a lot of filial piety to the government, so this bit of face has to be given, and the prefect’s housekeeper handled the whole matter.
They found two girls who had escaped in the city, and the remaining three and the little girl from the Liu family were missing.
At this time, the matchmaker also became suspicious of the benefactor, so she sent someone to look for her and ask about the little girl.
As a result, when people came back to report, they said that no one lived there anymore...
The matchmaker instantly understood that she had been tricked! Due to this fire, the building would not have to open for at least a month, and the losses would be huge!
It was like using all the money she earned from that person for decoration, it wasn't enough. She hated Yunfei so much that she couldn't find him but couldn't do anything.
The stinky man actually caused her such a big mistake, bah! Don't let her meet him again.
As for the Liu Mansion, after the matchmaker paid a sum of money to Butler Liu, she found an excuse to die of illness and excused herself.
Within two days, Butler Liu brought back several little girls from Renyazi and arranged for them to be taught by the housekeeper's mother-in-law.
Human life is the least valuable thing in this era.
The death of a person, not the death of a cow, is heartbreaking.
…………
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the carriage was still moving along.
The man driving the cart, wearing old clothes and a cotton-padded jacket and a straw hat, was swinging the whip in his hand to control the direction of the horse.
Inside the carriage, it was quiet.
Afraid that the carriage would be too bumpy, Yunfei brought two quilts to cushion them, and there was also a covered bed. At this moment, mother and son were lying down sleeping soundly.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and there was a village in front of him, Yunfei stopped.
He couldn't enter the village. If he went around, he wouldn't be able to get through before dark.
We might as well camp on the spot tonight.
After coming out of Fucheng, they had been walking eastward for half a month, and they had never been near any place where they saw people.
The disaster is becoming more and more serious, and people are becoming more and more terrible...
Whenever he passed by those hungry refugees with green eyes, he would whip the horses hard.
Because they move slowly, those people will climb onto the carriage and even want to kill people.
The second person he killed in this era was a refugee who climbed onto the carriage and tried to threaten him with his child.
