Chapter 391： In-laws open the door

As the days passed, Sun Lizheng would come to Jiang Sanlang every day and tell him the latest battle situation he had learned about.

That night, Yingbao suddenly had a dream. He dreamed that Qinchuan County was in flames, his shop was also burned, and his cousin Jiang Cheng's family and his aunt's family fell in a pool of blood.

 Ying Bao woke up with a fright, and the scene was still recalling in her mind, it was so vivid in her mind.

Thinking of a possibility, she shuddered, jumped off the kang, rushed to her parents' house and knocked on the door: "Dad! Mom!"

Jiang Sanlang and Chun Niang hurriedly put on their clothes and got off the bed, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to the county town. Dad, please inform the villagers at home that people will be sent to guard the village in the next few days. If soldiers come, the villagers should hide quickly." Yingbao said as he put on his boots.

Jiang Sanlang frowned: "What on earth is going on? Dad should go to the county seat."

Yingbao recounted his dream and finally said: "I'm worried that something will happen in the county. I want to inform my cousin and the others to close the shop and find a place to take shelter."

Hearing this, Jiang Sanlang's expression changed, and he turned around to put on his clothes: "I'll go to the county seat, Bao'er, you stay at home."

“No!” Yingbao refused.

"Bao'er!" Chun Niang grabbed Ying Bao and said angrily: "Why are you running around like a little girl? It would be faster if your father went there."

ˆ Yingbao：······

Jiang Sanlang quickly put on his clothes and shoes, ran out of the house and got on the saddle.

At this time, it was dawn, Jiang Sanlang flew on his horse and said to his daughter: "You stay at home and tell your eldest and second uncles to inform the villagers and be more alert these days."

"Okay." Ying Bao also knew that there could be no delay at this time, so she nodded and asked her father to leave.

Immediately he took out a bag of wheat and several jars of medicine and handed them to the father: "If the horse is tired, give it this."

Jiang Sanlang took the bag and put it on his shoulder, put the potion into the bag, shook the reins and urged the horse out of the courtyard, and drove away from the village quickly.

It only took him a few hours to travel more than a hundred miles.

It was already daybreak, the city gates were wide open, and many people were coming in and out, nothing unusual happened.

Jiang Sanlang didn't know what would happen, but his little girl's dreams always came true and he dared to ignore them.

When we arrived at the door of the shop, we saw the eldest sister Jiang Yunniang selling breakfast.

She was surprised when she saw her third brother coming: "Sanlang, why are you here?"

“Hurry up and close the stall and follow me back to your hometown.” Jiang Sanlang got off his horse and ran quickly into the shop.

Not long after Jiang Cheng opened the shop door, he was surprised to see his third uncle hurried in.

Jiang Sanlang: "Close the shop quickly. Your family will follow me back to your hometown."

Jiang Cheng asked hurriedly: "Third uncle, what happened at home?"

“Don’t ask, go back and fetch the people, I’ll help you hitch the carriage.” Jiang Sanlang said, walked directly into the backyard and started to hitch the carriage.

Jiang Cheng saw his third uncle's serious face and thought something big had happened at home. He was so frightened that he ran home quickly and brought his wife and children with him.

At this moment, I saw my third uncle hiring a carriage on the street and letting my aunt and her family get on the carriage.

“Third uncle, what happened?” Jiang Cheng asked worriedly.

Jiang Sanlang didn't know what to say, so he thought for a while and said, "You will know when you go back."

He glanced at his niece-in-law, thinking about whether to tell her the truth, but thinking that no one else seemed to be killed in his little girl's dream, he decided not to tell her for the time being.

Unexpectedly, not long after the carriage drove out, shopkeeper Qiu came riding on a donkey.

“Huh? Where are you going at this time?” Shopkeeper Qiu asked.

Jiang Cheng quickly stopped the carriage, "There is something urgent at home, and my third uncle came here specifically to ask us to go back." Jiang Sanlang also stopped the horse, thought for a moment and said, "My dear, it may not be peaceful recently, why don't you go out of the city with us. "

Shopkeeper Qiu saw Jiang Sanlang's cautious expression and asked curiously, "Uncle, do you know any news?"

Jiang Sanlang glanced at the sky and said anxiously: "Without further delay, we have to leave the city quickly. In-laws, please go back and take your family to our village. You must leave the city before noon!"

After saying that, he waved his whip and urged the horse to leave.

He turned to Jiang Cheng and said, "Hurry up and follow!"

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to hug his father-in-law and drive away.

Qiu Rong was frightened when he heard this. He felt that something was wrong. He quickly raised the car curtain and said to his father: "Dad! Go home now and take your mother and brother out of the city. Hurry up!"

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't know why, but thinking about the recent wars in various places, he couldn't help but shuddered and hurried home on his donkey.

After returning home, he hitched his donkey cart and took his son and wife to sit on it. After thinking about it, he ran back to the house and packed the house deed, a few banknotes, and dozens of taels of silver into a bag, and threw it to his wife. Then he drove to the city gate.

Not long after leaving the city gate, he turned around and took a look, and suddenly found that the city gate was slowly closing.

Shopkeeper Qiu was startled and whipped his whip to urge the donkey to run quickly.

What do you want to do by closing the city gate at this time?

It’s definitely not good.

What he didn't know was that after the county captain Cao Shen closed the city gate with seven to eight hundred soldiers, he stormed into the county government office, killed the county magistrate, and then started massacring and looting in the county town.

 Cao Shen first went to the Jiang's specialty shop and found that the shop was empty. After searching for gold and silver, he couldn't find any gold or silver, so he set fire to the house in anger.

One of his subordinates told him that Jiang Cheng’s in-law family was also very wealthy, so he took someone to the pastry shop, but no one was found. They only found some raw materials for making pastries and copper coins.

Cao Shen arrested the people and asked them, only to find out that they had gone out long ago.

"Hmph! Where can they run to? Chuanhe Town?" Cao Shen sneered: "When I take over the county seat, I will kill them!"

Prince Cheng has promised himself that as long as things come true, he will have the final say in this county.

ˆ···

As for Jiang Sanlang, it was almost evening when he led two carriages back to Dongchen Village.

Ying Bao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father and his cousin's family came back safely.

Old man Jiang was still puzzled and asked his third son: "Did something happen in the county?"

“I was worried that something might happen, so I brought Dacheng and the eldest sister back.” Jiang Sanlang unsaddled the horse and gave the horse a bottle of potion to drink.

This horse is very tired today. It has been running for more than 200 miles and is soaked all over.

Old man Jiang glared at his third son with disapproval: "If the war really comes to us, it's better to stay in the county seat for safety, you fool!"

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said nothing. He went to scoop up water, washed his hands and face, and sat at the table to eat.

After eating, he lay down on the kang and fell asleep quickly.

Chunniang put away the dishes and said to her daughter in a low voice: "Yingbao, don't tell others about your dream. It doesn't matter whether it works or not."

Yingbao nodded and wiped the table with a rag.

After putting everything in order, it was already dark.

Suddenly, Dahuang and Xiaohei at home started shouting wildly in the direction of the gate, which scared Chun Niang and quickly climbed up the wall to check the situation.

I saw a donkey cart parked in front of Jiang's house. A fat middle-aged man got out of the donkey cart and was patting the door.

“In-laws! Open the door! It’s me!”
