Dusk is approaching, Jiang You is currently on the outskirts of Youzhou City, but cannot enter the city again.
The huge Youzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Only one side is the only way to the outside world, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Jiang You followed the side road and entered a nearby village before dark.
This village is called Cailian Village. There are actually very few lotus flowers in Tianyu. In Tianyu, autumn is the longest of the year and the wind and sand are the most active. Most of the cities in Tianyu look like they are filled with wind and sand. Youzhou
The city is different from other cities. Youzhou City is rich, with green mountains and green waters, and beautiful scenery. No matter how windy and sandy the city is, it will not affect Youzhou City. It can be said that once Su Yan captures Youzhou City, what will happen to Tianyu?
It was truly a fatal blow. As long as the city of Youzhou was destroyed, the leader of the Tianyu Kingdom would definitely sue for peace, just to save Youzhou.
When Jiang You entered the village, only scattered lights could be seen in the whole village.
During the war, most men were dragged away to serve in the army, and those who stayed at home were mostly lonely and elderly people. This was especially true in cities close to the border.
Jiangyou's body was still damp, and the night wind was getting colder and colder. She did feel a little cold.
Previously in the underground palace, she saw the topographic map of the underground palace, and the source was marked very clearly. Similarly, the map also showed the story of the snow sculptures saving people on Youruo Lake. What she was thinking at the time was, if there were really snow sculptures to save people,
Man, that's great. If that's just a rumor and there is no snow sculpture, then she will go back to the underground palace and think of other ways.
But in the end, the snow sculpture really appeared.
Jiang You only felt that it was very magical that the rumored snow sculpture was actually real. It really seemed like a dream.
What she is even more curious about now is... what is the relationship between Su Yan and the underground palace? If it weren't for Su Yan's jade pendant, she wouldn't be able to enter the underground palace.
Everything in the underground palace gives people a very friendly feeling. Those statues give people a sense of solemnity. They look like the treasures of the person who made the statues. They must be cherished to be so serious!
Jiang You chose one of the dimly lit houses and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door for her was a young woman: "Excuse me, are you..."
The woman only opened the door a little gap and looked at Jiang You.
Jiang You saluted and said, "Madam, I'm really sorry. I was passing by. It's getting late and I can't enter the city. Can you take me in for one night?"
The woman saw that Jiang You was dressed simply and there was no one else behind her. After some thought, she opened the door and said, "Please come in."
"Thank you, madam." Jiang You thanked you quickly.
After entering the room, the woman lit another lamp in the room so that Jiang You could see more clearly.
This is an ordinary people's home, with only three or two rooms inside and outside. It is very simple. This woman lives alone. It seems that she has been newly married recently, and there are more or less wedding decorations in the room.
The woman brought Jiang You her own set of clothes and said, "Girl, the clothes on your body are all wet. If you don't mind... wear this set!"
"Thank you, madam." Jiang You took it and was very grateful.
The woman looked very gentle, and her expression was even softer. She said: "You change clothes first, and I will get you some food."
Jiang You took her clothes and went to the inner room to change. When she came out, the woman had already brought her a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of side dishes.
"Girl, there is some leftover porridge in the evening. It is still warm and is just right to eat." The woman said to Jiang You in a warm voice, "Girl, come over and sit down!"
Jiang You walked over and sat down. Looking at the still warm porridge and the two steamed buns in front of her, she could imagine that this was already a very good dinner for the woman.
Jiang You picked up the spoon, took a sip of the porridge first, and thanked the woman with a smile: "Thank you, madam."
The woman looked at Jiang You and said gently: "She must be from Suizhou, right?"
Jiang You was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman.
The woman hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I won't tell others. It's not easy for anyone in the current war. You are dressed like a Tianji person. Is there anything important you have to do when you break into Youzhou?"
"
"I..." Jiang You paused, and then said, "I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for someone?"
"Yes, I'm looking for my fiancé." Jiang You simply continued, "Wars are raging, and he has no choice. He came to the army and has no news. I am a little worried about him..."
"It turns out that your fiancé also joined the army." The woman sighed and said to Jiang You, "My husband also joined the army. On the third day after we got married, he was arrested and joined the army. I have been waiting for him for several months. The war is terrible.
It’s really bad. How many people have been displaced because of this, and how many people have lost their hometowns because of this..."
"There is indeed nothing we can do about it. When the country is in turmoil, it is always the people who suffer." Jiang You pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
The woman seemed to have found a resonance. When she looked at Jiang You, she felt even more pity: "You are a weak woman, it's better not to go out casually. The outside is turbulent, so you have to be careful. Don't meet your fiancé before.
Put yourself in it."
Jiang You forced a smile: "I know."
"Your fiancé joined the army, how did you find you to come to Youzhou? Your fiancé must have joined the army in Suizhou, right?" The woman thought about it and felt very confused.
Jiang You said: "They are attacking Youzhou now. I think they are coming to Youzhou."
"That's it." The woman nodded clearly, but when she heard that they were going to attack Youzhou, her brows couldn't help but frown even deeper, "I'm afraid there will be no way to calm down this war for a while, and I can only pity us common people.
It’s really sad to be displaced because of this.”
Jiangyou said nothing.
This woman is gentle and polite, with excellent temperament and conversation. She is not as strong as the Tianyu woman described by Tianyu. Her personality is more like the graceful attitude of a Jiangnan woman.
"Madam, the war will eventually end." Jiang You paused for a long time before saying this.
The war will eventually end, and everything will eventually dissipate.
The woman nodded and said, "By the way, I don't know the girl's name yet!"
"My name is Luo Su." Jiang You still didn't give her real name, but used a pseudonym. "I wonder what I call you, madam?"
"My name is Cai Lian, and my husband's surname is He." Cai Lian said to Jiang You with a smile.
"It turns out to be Mrs. He." Jiang You said, "When I came here, I saw this village called Cailian Village. Could it be related to Mrs. He?"
Cailian smiled and shook her head, saying: "That's just a coincidence. I just happened to be called this name. The origin of Cailian Village is because there is a large lotus pond here, and the entire village's livelihood depends on this lotus pond."
