Because they were afraid that those official servants would come back again, the group of people from Jiangjia Village hurried forward without stopping, neither complaining about being tired nor feeling hot.
In the middle of the day (around two o'clock in the afternoon), the hottest time of the day, everyone finally found a place to stop and take a rest.
Jiang Zhiyue sat opposite Bai Yifeng and asked, "How was the situation in the capital before you came here?"
Bai Yifeng glanced at Jiang Zhiyue and replied truthfully: "It's not good."
"It seems that the old emperor's health is dying, but he is not willing to establish a prince. He always thinks that taking those Taoist priests' elixir will live a long life. My master asked someone to secretly test the elixir. Its ingredients are all refined from minerals.
Yes, even though your body will feel full of vitality after eating it, it is just overdrawing your life."
"In order to prevent those people from raising the issue of establishing a prince again, the emperor sent many officials down to serve as a warning to the monkeys. Now everyone is in danger, but they have started to fight in private."
Jiang Zhiyue thought of the plot in the book. The old emperor was already in very bad health, but his life was very serious, and he had to live on that life for a long time.
But in the end he died in the hands of his own son.
She looked at Bai Yifeng thoughtfully and asked, "Then your purpose of coming to me is to let me go to the capital?"
Bai Yifeng smiled and said: "Miss Jiang is worrying too much. Master, he specially told me before he wandered around. If you find the destined person, don't interfere too much, otherwise it will mess up the destiny."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhiyue replied calmly.
It seems that Master Tiandao has his reasons for suddenly throwing her into this dynasty, so let it be.
They continued walking for two more days, during which they met another group of officers and soldiers, also in the name of looking for Prince An.
However, Jiang Zhiyue could tell that the attitudes of this group of people were obviously different from those of the previous group.
The previous group of officials were more anxious and agitated when they couldn't find anyone. On the contrary, the later group of people, although they were wearing the same clothes as those officials, were more anxious and flustered when they couldn't find anyone.
The officials did not stay long, and after confirming that there was no one they were looking for, they continued to other places.
At noon on the third day, they came to a fork in the road, and everyone stopped to rest in front of the fork.
"Huh~ It's so hot, uncle, is this the fork in the road you mentioned?" Jiang Erlang fanned the wind with his palm and sat down on the ground.
Jiang Yuchao also found a place to sit down and said, "Yes, we will take the south road when we set off again in the afternoon."
This sentence happened to be heard by Song Furong who was passing by. She asked in surprise: "What, you don't go to the capital, why are you going south?"
"That's right, we are not going to the capital." Mrs. Zhang answered with a smile.
Song Furong didn't know that they had already decided where to go, and wanted to persuade them to go to the capital with the villagers.
"Hey, what do you think? Where is the safety of the capital? I heard that the nobles there can give us enough money for a lifetime."
Mrs. Zhang usually has a good relationship with Song Furong, so she let her know a little bit about her.
"I heard that it's not stable up here now. It might not be a good place to go to the capital."
But Song Furong didn't believe it at all. She said: "This is also possible. If we walk a few days further, we will reach our state capital town. You have to turn a corner now. If the city is willing to take us in, you can
It’s not like we have to travel so many miles.”
"So many places have been affected by the disaster. How can one state capital accommodate so many of us? Let me tell you..."
"..."
Zhang and Song Furong each wanted to convince the other, but in the end neither could convince the other, so they had no choice but to give up.
Mr. Jiang Kangde glanced at his sons and grandsons in Jiangjia Village, but said nothing in the end.
After they had done so many bastard things, it was obvious that they didn't even want to recognize him as their father, and they wouldn't believe him even if he told him.
After resting for a while, thinking that it was almost time to set off, Song Furong walked to the back of the crowd and planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhang.
They went to a different place now, and I am afraid they will never see this difference again in this life.
The two of them were talking with tears in their eyes.
My sister of many years is gone. It would be a lie to say that I am not sad.
Seeing that Song Furong had gone back, Mrs. Zhang said with red eyes: "How about we tell everyone about going to the south. As for whether we are willing to go or not, let's talk about it separately. If we say it, we will feel free from guilt."
Jiang Zhiyue looked at her mother who couldn't help crying, sighed and agreed.
No matter how violent they are in daily life, they will always think of others.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know what to say.
But since they want to do this, let's do it. Anyway, after today, there will be no chance to see each other again, so just say a few more words to give them a clear conscience.
Soon, the team in front packed up and prepared to set off.
Mr. Jiang took Jiang Yuchao over and told them that they were going to the south.
After hearing what they said, everyone looked at the two of them with expressions like "Are you stupid?"
"Why are we going south? If we go a little further, we can reach our state capital?" Jiang Hengrong asked.
Jiang Yuchao said the words they had prepared in advance, which were the same as what Zhang had just said to persuade Song Furong.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "Even if the state capital can't accommodate so many people, it will definitely not ignore us. If our village is moved to the capital, then we will be regarded as people with the spirit of the dragon."
"And you see, in the past few days, we have met two groups of officers and soldiers. I think it is very unsafe here. Whichever side of the capital is closer to our emperor of the Wu Dynasty, there must be no danger."
"Jiang Xiucai, don't go to the south. How can you compare with the capital? You should pack up and follow us."
"Yes, Jiang Xiucai, let's all go to the capital."
Along the way, they also saw how powerful the girl from Jiang Xiucai's family was. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of them could beat ten of them.
Except for that girl, all the men and women in Jiang Xiucai's family are powerful.
Walking with them gives me a sense of security.
"We have made up our minds. Telling everyone will give everyone more choices. If no one is willing, we will just let it go." Jiang Yuchao said.
Everyone is a little regretful, but they will not change their decision in their hearts.
In any case, Beijing is definitely the best place.
Mr. Jiang and Jiang Yuchao returned to their own team and shook their heads at everyone.
No one was too surprised, but they had done everything they had to do, and there was nothing they could do if the villagers didn't want to do it.
Sheng Yu, who was at the back of the Jiangjia Village team, looked in the direction of the Jiang family with unwillingness in her eyes.
That night she planned to seduce Jiang Erlang and cook the rice.
Her requirements are not high either.
After all, they are on the road to escape. As long as she enters the Jiang family's door, they will become a family, and she will definitely understand them.
She had already thought about it. She didn't need the Jiang family to give her a bride price and carry a sedan to welcome her in. She just wanted to let her sit in the carriage and rest when she was on the road every day, and Jiang Erlang would be more obedient.
But she didn't expect that she would misjudge Jiang Erlang's mouth.
Jiang Erlang found it difficult to take action, so she originally planned to find someone else to take action.
The boy from the Wang family looked good, but they were staying with the Jiang family after all, so she looked down upon him.
However, this also shows that such a person is easy to handle, but it is a pity that I have not found an opportunity to take action in the past few days.
Now they are actually going to be separated from the team?
Then how can she ride in a bullock cart?!!!
Sheng Yu's unwillingness prevented her from moving immediately to follow the team in front.
Her father saw that the team had gone several meters and Sheng Yu was still standing there, so he went up and kicked her.
"Why are you dazed? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Sheng Yu turned to look at Jiang Erlang and Wang Hao again, and followed them reluctantly.
Seeing the team from Jiangjia Village walking away, Mr. Jiang came back to his senses and said, "Let's go too."
This time, King Changding (the prince of this fiefdom) suffered a wide range of disasters in his fiefdom. It had been almost a month since they left Jiangjiacun, but the land here was still very dry.
As far as the eye can see, there are patches of roasted and browned earth.
All edible wild vegetables, tree roots and bark were stripped clean.
The group of people quickened their pace, intending to find a suitable place to stay before dark.
Finally, before it got dark, everyone found a larger piece of flat land.
After Zhang, Sun and Huang Huaihua stopped, they unloaded some of the things in the car and planned to make a fire for cooking.
The Mu family's father and daughter also sat down only two meters away from the Jiang family and started to light a fire to cook.
Without the usual quarrels for no reason, I feel particularly peaceful now.
Several people started talking to each other.
When it was time to rest, Jiang Zhiyue walked around the oxcart twice, and finally made up her mind to take out a few tents in the space.
Except for the days when she first came out, she slept in the carriage with her third aunt, and for the rest of the day, she just spread something on the floor and slept like everyone else.
However, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, so you will inevitably get bitten all over your body if you sleep outside.
Although they were covered with ointment from her space, they couldn't take a shower, and she couldn't bear the layer after layer of paste applied every day.
That's why I thought of taking out the tent and using it.
Jiang Zhiyue calculated their number in her mind and stuffed the eight tents under the things on the cart while avoiding people.
She worked up her emotions for a while and shouted happily: "Grandma, Grandma, come and see, we have forgotten to use the good things we bought."
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang ran over and asked as they walked: "What, did you forget to use something you bought?"
"Well, when we went to the town to buy it, the person said it was a rare thing from Persia." Jiang Zhiyue said while winking at the two of them.
The two of them were stunned for a moment before they finally understood what Jiang Zhiyue meant.
It's true that her granddaughter/daughter's treasure chest hasn't had anything new in it for so long that they almost forgot about it.
Fortunately, they reacted very quickly.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, look at our brains, how could we have forgotten this good thing!"
"Take it out quickly. Come on, mother, help you."
Mrs. Jiang and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked seamlessly together to help Jiang Zhiyue take out the tents.
The hands of the two of them felt heavy. Ouch, my mother, what is this thing that is so heavy?
But since Girl Yue said it was a useful thing, then the two of them would just cooperate well.
"What is it, mother?" Jiang Ming came over and asked.
Old Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at her unsightly son and said, "Why are you asking? Why don't you help your mother carry the things?"
