Chapter 112 War?
After a simple but hearty dinner, Su Wanfeng decided to go back immediately and make edible dry food from the surplus food at home.
"I have also heard a little bit of the news that Young Master Xiao has heard. It is true that the Changling County Government has called a large number of prisoners recently."
Su Wanfeng said. It is said that those serving prison sentences will be dragged to defend against foreign enemies.
"What the **** is this court doing, why is it that the soldiers who are guarding the border are called back? It's absurd!"
Yin Bowu said angrily, the northern border was also guarded by someone, but he was transferred back to the capital half a year ago.
"It is said that Nanxiao and Lindan have been friendly for generations, and there is no need for any separation."
Su Wanfeng replied.
"Well now, the people on the border will be reduced to fish and meat that can be slaughtered by others."
Yin Bowu was angry because they might also be one of the fish that was slaughtered by this man.
"Could it be a misunderstanding, maybe the magistrate of Changling just left temporarily?"
Mr. Zhang hesitated, and Xiao Xuan heard the news. It is said that the magistrate of Changling County has left Changling County, and the county government has stopped hearing cases recently.
"It is impossible to leave with your family when you leave temporarily."
Su Wanfeng said that he originally thought this news was just a rumor, but now that Xiao Xuan has heard it, it should not be groundless.
"We've already made some dry food today. We don't have to worry about what we have prepared. There are so many of us. If the barbarians come, where will we flee next."
Wei sighed, she thought that their family would get over here as well, but she didn't expect to have no fixed place again soon.
"I have heard of Shangyun City in Tingshi Prefecture before, saying that the folk customs there are open, and foreigners are widely accepted. The most important thing is that the road is easy to walk. Even Miaoer doesn't know how far Shangyun City is, but it is in the same place. A state shouldn't be too far away, right?"
Yin Miao saw the sad faces of the family, so she said what she was thinking. It's not that she has any obsession with there, but because Shangyun City itself belongs to the transportation hub. If they get there first, it is feasible to go no matter where they go.
If the family does not have a goal, she will think of a goal for everyone, and maybe it will not be so panic.
"Shangyun City is about 800 miles away from Changling County. Ordinary people can walk there in about half a month."
Xiao Xuan looked at Yin Miao with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
She even thought of something with his plan.
"Miao'er's idea is good, alright, if we really don't have a place to go, let's go to Shangyun City, I still have acquaintances there!"
Yin Bowu then remembered that there is such a place.
"I wonder if Su can go with you if you come to this kind of field?"
Su Wanfeng's eyes lit up, in fact, if he was alone, it wouldn't matter where he went, but it was rare that he had made friends with this family.
"Of course, we'd love to have a middle-aged man to follow along."
Yin Chengyun also said.
Once the goal is set, the family is still worried, but their mood is calmed down. Even Liu Shi and Yin Zhenghong, who always feel that they are a drag, plan to try their best to go with the family.
Soon, some people in Changling Village began to talk about things not far from the border. The reason was because the dozen or so people who had served in corvée had returned to Changling Village, and the news they brought back made many people feel Afraid to arrive.
The barbarians have already occupied the Kingdom of Lindan, and they have slaughtered several villages recently, and they may be coming in their direction soon!
"It can't be true, right? There is no war book between the two countries."
"Who said there is going to be a war? People are going to burn, kill and loot. We deserve no one to protect us."
"After paying the grain and paying the taxes, where did those officials go?"
"Don't worry, this kind of thing has never happened in the past 100 years. Isn't there a few villages in front of our village? People are not worried about it."
"That's right, our family is poor and white, and when the barbarians come to **** things, maybe they will go back crying, hahaha!"
“…”
Yin Miao listened to the chatter of the villagers and began to worry about them. After all, she was a villager who had been with her for almost half a year, and there were still people who could survive them when something happened before.
Thinking of this, she tried to find Wei Lizheng, who could talk in the village, to see what he was thinking.
Yin Miao actually met Li Sanliang, a villager in Wei Lizheng's courtyard. She remembered that he wanted to borrow food from their family before he served corvée, but Yin Bowu and Yin Chengyun refused.
Li Sanliang, who had just returned from corvée, looked extremely black and thin, and his clothes were a bit loose. At this moment, he seemed to be talking to Wei Li with a few equally black and thin villagers.
"Lizheng, what we said is true, the barbarians will really come, let's find a place to escape for now!"
Li Sanliang said.
"Escape? Where do so many people go to escape? Let everyone give up their ancestral home, what's the difference between that and escape?"
Wei Lizheng did not agree with the words of Li Sanliang and others.
Yin Miao was a little surprised. She didn't know what those who went to serve in the corves knew, but since they were reminding Wei Lizheng, they must be thinking about the safety of the whole village.
"Wei Lizheng."
Yin Miao stepped forward to say hello.
"Why is Yin girl here?"
When Wei Lizheng saw that it was Yin Miao, he immediately changed a kind face, which made Yin Miao feel a little embarrassed.
"I heard everyone talking about the war, so I came in."
Yin Miao also expressed her opinion to Wei Lizheng.
"Even girl Yin thinks so?"
Wei Lizheng was a little surprised that Yin Miao thought the same way as very few people in the village.
"Well, even if everyone is reluctant to leave for the time being, Wei Lizheng can remind every family to make some preparations in case of emergency."
Yin Miao said.
It's impossible to just let the whole village go, but it doesn't hurt if it's just preparation.
"You girl is right, but I plan to take my family to avoid the limelight first."
Li Sanliang was still a little disliked by the Yin family who did not lend him food, except for Yin Miao, because he also ate a lot of edible things Yin Miao found on the mountain.
Wei Lizheng nodded, Yin Miao's suggestion was not difficult, in fact, he was a little nervous after hearing the wind the day before yesterday, and even asked his family to sort out the food at home in order to deal with the sudden danger .
That night, Wei Lizheng arranged for two people to take turns to watch the night in the thatched hut at the entrance of Changling Village. Although the villagers felt that it was a bit unnecessary, they were indeed more at ease with someone to watch the night.
