Chapter 3: Goldfinger?

"If you delay any longer, the barbarians will attack you right at the village gate!"

After hearing this, everyone could no longer hold back and started packing their things in an old hut.

The crowd dispersed instantly, each one running faster than a rabbit, leaving Yun Huachun and his family standing there, looking stupid.

Shi Fang glanced at it, frowned and sighed, ready to leave.

"Village chief!" Yun Huachun shouted.

Shi Fang raised his head, glanced at the Yun family, and walked up the first few steps on crutches: "What?"

"Escape, where are you going?" Yun Huachun asked.

"This, of course, is to escape to a place where the barbarians can't attack." Shi Fang was surprised for a moment and said, not expecting that Yun Huachun would ask this question.

"Would you like to enter Shu, go north to the capital, or go east and then south?" After Yun Huachun finished speaking, he looked at the stone expectantly.

Shi Fang looked surprised. He had never thought about where to escape.

The barbarians have arrived at your doorstep, so just run away.

"Go to...Sichuan...the barbarians can't attack there..." Shi Fang reported a place name.

Shi Fang grew up in Baiyang County all his life, and the farthest place he has been to is the county next door.

He heard about Shu's reputation from merchants traveling around.

I heard that the land of Shu is rugged and it is extremely difficult to enter it. However, the land of Shu is extremely rich and has good weather all year round...

"But how do you know, village chief, that these barbarians can't conquer Shu?"

"What if the barbarians surround Shu? Although Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also difficult to send troops to support... If the siege lasts for a long time, Shu will be the next Yongxing Pass..." Yun Huachun is not in a hurry...

He explained his thoughts slowly.

But he was feeling restless in his heart. If he really hit the central part of the country as he told his daughter, Shu would be in the hands of the barbarians.

"Good boy, where do you want to go?" Shi Fang interrupted him abruptly, his expression was not good, and his tone was a little stiff.

"Go to the south..."

"The land in the south is huge and there are many nobles. Even if the barbarians attack there, there will still be nobles to carry them." Yun Huachun said.

"Then why don't you go to the capital? The emperor is in the capital, and the capital is the safest place!" Shi Fang asked rhetorically.

Yun Huachun smiled after hearing this, with a hint of paleness in his smile: "Because everyone thinks so."

"Although it is safe to go to the capital, there are refugees coming and going along the way. A group of refugees are hungry. Does the village chief think we can all get food?"

"There is plenty of food in the south. No matter how hard it is to swim in the water, you can still catch some to eat. The winter is warm. If we go all the way north to the capital and sleep in the open air, many people will freeze to death at night."

Hearing this, Shi Fang's face became a little more solemn, and he realized what he had missed.

He looked at Yun Huachun for a while, and finally made up his mind and said, "Yun Xiucai, you are a person who has seen the big world. Naturally, you have more thoughts than an old man like me. On the way to escape..."

"We are all fellow villagers who have lived together for so many years. If you were disrespectful in the past, I, an old man, will apologize to you. Don't take it to heart."

"If you're short of baskets of food, I'll ask my family to send you some. We'll talk about the rest after we get on the road."

"Okay, village chief." Yun Huachun smiled and pulled his daughter and wife towards home.

Shi Fang walked a few steps with a cane and looked back at the notorious family in the village.

I walked back calmly, not in a hurry like other people.

Shi Fang recalled Yun Huachun's words just now, his eyes changed several times, and he secretly came to a conclusion.

Is this a secret?

Yun Huachun walked back slowly step by step with the support of his daughter and wife.

"Dad, do you have a bad headache?"

"Old Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Huachun pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, I just came here and I'm a little dizzy..."

Walking to the entrance of his courtyard, Yun Huachun asked with concern, "Daughter, what did you think of that book? Do you remember anything?"

"Dad, I just read the first few chapters. They were all about how bad you were and how you bullied the people and your own people, so I stopped reading."

"Liangliang said that our family will be dead if we don't survive to the end." Yuntao said with a sad face.

"It's okay, that's their family, not ours!" Wan Hongmei comforted her daughter.

"Don't worry, Taotao. Dad will never act as a lackey for the Hu people and do such traitorous things. Let's flee as quickly as possible and stay far away from the Hu people."

Entering the courtyard, Wan Hongmei saw a pool of blood on the ground in the courtyard, and her breath suddenly became tight.

Then when he saw the flax seeds tied to the pillars in the house, he screamed out loud.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"What's wrong, mother?"

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"

The father and daughter hurriedly expressed concern.

"What's going on with the blood? And why is there someone in this room?" Wan Hongmei pointed at Hu Mazi's trembling fingertips.

Not scared, but angry and anxious.

Hu Mazi was already awake at this moment, his limbs were tied up, and his mouth was also blocked. The only thing that could move was a pair of fierce eyes.

"Mom, this person is not a good person. As soon as I came over, I saw him pulling my clothes and knocking dad out..." Yuntao said aggrievedly and angrily.

"Bullying my precious daughter and Lao Yun?" Wan Hongmei took a deep breath.

Picking up the hoe that was resting at the foot of the yard, he stepped aggressively into the gate and gave the flaxseed a stick on the head.

He beat Hu Mazi until he whined and groaned, but he did not dare to show off his violence and burst into tears.

Wan Hongmei stopped when she was tired, and Hu Mazi had already fainted.

The father and daughter looked at each other in shock from behind, but had no intention of stepping forward to stop him.

Firstly, the flax almost killed them, and secondly, they really needed an outlet when encountering this kind of thing.

"Next time I touch you, you will be like this hoe!" Wan Hongmei said and easily broke the thick hoe.

The father and daughter looked at each other in surprise.

Why has my daughter-in-law/mother’s strength become so strong?

"Mom, are you hurt?" Yuntao stepped forward and asked with concern.

I looked at Wan Hongmei's palm and found no traces.

"Daughter-in-law, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Wan Hongmei shook her head: "It's nothing. After I stopped feeling dizzy, I felt like I had endless strength in my body, so I folded it easily."

Yuntao's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Mom, are you the golden finger brought by time travel?"

"Golden finger, what golden finger?" Wan Hongmei didn't respond.

"It's something that ordinary people don't have... By the way, parents, look carefully and see if you can find any other golden fingers?" Yuntao said.

"For example, our house!"

If time travel brought the house, there would be an extra space, and their family's chance of survival in troubled times would be much greater.

The family struggled for a long time and finally found the difference.

All three people have an extra mole on their palms, some on the left hand and some on the right hand.

Yuntao rubbed the mole on her hand, thinking about returning to her home. When she looked up again, she found that the place she was in was no longer the shabby adobe house she had just been in.
