But situ Xiao's men did not let go of the surrounding villages and towns. In order to avoid being killed, Li Chanjuan and Lao Tao had to give all their food to the fierce soldiers.
These soldiers are from the southern Qin Dynasty. They have no feelings for the DAHAO people. Although they have not been killed or beaten indiscriminately, they are not polite. Once they are angry, they will never get good results.
Li Chanjuan and Lao Tao have always been seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In addition, they are relatively old, and they honestly hand over their food and stay here, so the soldiers ignore them as the air.
After these soldiers left, people began to curse one after another, and some even had the heart to die.
When Li Changting and Lao Tao think of the children in the city, they are also worried to tears.
At the moment, Tao Lei, Tao Xin and Li Changyan are still well, but they have no food and are hungry.
When situ Xiao led his troops to attack the city, bad news once came from the city. Later, the soldiers of the southern Qin Dynasty rushed in to rob their families and houses to search for food. At the beginning, they focused on the rich families, including the Li family.
However, Tao Xin's husband Chen Wu is a retired soldier, and Tan Yang has been staring at the news outside. They feel that the situation is not good. Before the soldiers of the southern Qin Dynasty break into the Li family, they quietly leave with their family through the back door.
They left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to take too much food and valuable things with them.
The city was noisy. They didn't dare to run to the main street. They just went around the lane with few people and hid in a yard without a master.
Nowadays, there are still some houses in the city that are ownerless or waiting to be rented. There are several near the Li family. For fear of being found, they simply hide in one of the dilapidated houses.
The weeds in the yard are getting higher. You can see that no one lives in this house.
Chen Wu and Tan Yang are wary of the outside. Tao Xin grabs his brother's arm nervously. Li Changyan also holds her two daughters in her arms and whispers to calm them down.
The soldiers of the southern Qin Dynasty began to sweep every house. Maybe they were in a hurry and didn't come to the old courtyard to check.
Chen Wu also found that the main purpose of these people was food. Even if there were people hiding in the old courtyard, they would not care if there was no food.
Thinking of this, Chen Wu and Tan Yang were relieved. Anyway, their lives were temporarily saved.
After waiting for a day and a night, Chen Wu went out to inquire about the news.
The situation is even worse than they expected. All the food in the city has been looted, and the people are full of complaints. However, it has been occupied by the southern Qin Dynasty, and the resistance will only be suppressed by violence.
The only good news to be thankful for is that the people of the southern Qin Dynasty did not intend to starve their prisoners to death in the city. Instead, they were allowed to go out of the city to look for food, but the food they found had to be handed in according to their heads, two Jin per person, otherwise they could only be expelled outside the city gate.
However, Chen Wu and Tan Yang also guessed that the food in the villages and towns around lezhou city must have been taken away. Now that there is still room to eat, there are only the surrounding mountains.
There are weeds, wild fruits and game in the mountains. Diligent people will never starve to death, but there are poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous weeds and beasts in the mountains, which is tantamount to taking life to find food.
"What do you think?" Chen Wu asked others.
Tao Lei said: "when natural disasters happened, we fled with our parents. We were not afraid to go to the mountains to find food. What's more, now we have no choice. It's just the difference between going early and going late."
Tao Xin said to Chen Wu, "I'm the same as my brother, but I'll listen to you and do whatever you say."
Li Changyan was puzzled. "I have no problem myself, but I'm still young with Niannian every year I This... "
Tao Lei said: "Niannian and Niannian are also our sisters. We will take care of them. When the time comes, we will find food. Niannian will help us burn a fire and wash our clothes."
Smell speech year after year and read in front of a bright, hurriedly nod to show that they can.
Tan Yang also said: "and me, no matter it's poisonous snakes and beasts or any ghosts and gods, don't be afraid."
Thinking of Tan Yang's martial arts, everyone felt relieved.
Originally, Xiao Liu and they had been in lezhou, but they had to leave earlier. Alas.
It's no use thinking about it. They can only think about how to live.
Chen Wu said: "I know that situ Xiao and Li Uncle does not deal with it. If situ Xiao knows that we are uncle's relatives, he will probably take us hostage. "
Tan Yang Wen Yan also nodded: "yes, uncle and situ Xiao are enemies. Now the war situation is in crisis. Uncle is expected to lead soldiers to fight. For our own safety, we must not expose our identity. We'd better make some disguises instead of giving our real name."
Tao Lei and Tao Xin have been reminded by their parents many times before. Li Changyan thinks about this for the first time, but she is used to being cautious. With her two daughters around, she will only be more careful.
Chen Wu: "it's just that there are many people in lezhou who know us and know our relationship with my uncle. In case someone informs or reports..."Tan Yang: "it shouldn't be too late. Let's get out of the city now! The third aunt and the third aunt's husband have gone to the tea mountain. Let's go to find them and hide at the top of the mountain first. "
Chen Wu didn't agree, so he thought.
Hearing that they were going to find their parents, Tao Lei and Tao Xin agreed.
Li Changyan understands that she and her two daughters are basically procrastinating. At this time, she just needs to follow Chen Wu and do more than talk.
In order to get out of the city, seven people carefully disguised.
Tao Lei is actually worried about song Wenjie and Qiao Yu. They live in Li's teahouse and get along with each other for a long time. Now they don't know what happened to song Wenjie and Qiao Yu. Isn't it kind of them to leave song Wenjie and Qiao Yu like this?
But the Song family teahouse is on the other side of the main street. There are soldiers of the southern Qin Dynasty patrolling and guarding the street. Now we are all prisoners. Who dares to walk around outside? It's not fatal.
Chen Wu can only say: "go out first. Wait outside. Song Wenjie and Qiao Yu will go out of the city to find something to eat if they don't have any accidents. They are smart people. I think they will be OK."
That's the only way to pray.
Chen Wu and Tan Yang go out quietly and bring back some ordinary linen clothes. Tao Xin and Li Changyan also take off their headgear and dress up as ordinary women.
Several people either carrying baskets, or carrying baskets, are wearing some broken sun hat, followed the crowd out of the city.
They are not the first group to come out, but they are also ahead.
