After finding a suitable place, Chen Zhongqian asked the driver to stop the car and stayed here temporarily tonight.
"Be more alert when you rest at night. Get up immediately if there is any movement. If there is really trouble, protect yourself first. These things don't matter. We will be there in two days. I will find a way to arrange for someone to give you a ride."
The coachmen were very moved, because they were in this business. As long as the guests paid the fare, they should deliver the guests even if they lost their lives. If anything in the car was lost, they would have to compensate.
"Chen Tanhua, don't worry, we will be careful. We have been walking for so many days, so nothing can happen on this final stretch."
I have lived in the woods before and sometimes I didn't find a suitable place to live, but this time I had no choice but to do so.
Lin Yuxi spread a mat under the tree and rested here at night. After a long day's journey, it would be impossible not to rest, so he had to be careful.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo were not very old after all, so they were a little scared when they saw this posture.
"Mom, just sleep with your sister. I'm a man now. I want to protect you. Daddy and I will guard you together."
Lin Huiyi agreed, but she would not sleep at ease, but she nodded and Xiaoyu was very happy, because this was her recognition of him.
She felt that those people today were definitely not ordinary refugees. Chen Zhongqian did not continue to pursue them because he had weapons. They would probably follow the wheel tracks to find them at night.
If it really came, she had an idea of how to run, but she still couldn't feel at ease when she closed her eyes.
Refugees are everywhere, bandits are rampant, and the people here are really living in dire straits.
After resting for an hour, a driver heard some movement in the forest and whispered, "It seems like someone is coming."
Chen Zhongqian also heard it, nodded, and said to Lin Joy, "My wife is here with the child. I'll go over and have a look."
Lin Yuxi originally wanted to go by herself, but along the way, Chen Zhongqian was very capable, so she did not take it upon herself, "Mr., be careful."
Xiao Duo was already asleep, and Xiao Yu took his own bow and arrow and stood guard by the side. If any bad guy came, he would shoot out.
After a while, Chen Zhongqian and the driver came back and helped an old man with a hole in his forehead. Blood was still oozing out, and his whole face was stained red with blood.
"What's going on?"
Chen Zhongqian said hurriedly, "It was the old man who made the noise. He also met those people. He originally wanted to stay at the inn, but he was robbed and injured, and he ran for his life all the way."
Lin Hexi nodded and didn't ask so many questions. He took out the medicine box, which already contained the tools needed for debridement.
Xiaoduo woke up when she heard the noise. When she saw Lin Yuxi was about to treat the wound, she immediately helped her. Lin Yuxi took the gloves and taught her to put them on. He explained every step to her in detail. This was also a learning opportunity.
Several other people continued to listen to the goings on around them. If those people chased after them now, they would be in extreme trouble.
The wound on the old man's forehead was still quite large. After debridement, it was found that it needed to be sutured. Xiaoyu held up a fire folding piece aside and lit it up for a while. Lin Yuxi sewed up the wound under these conditions.
She gave the old man some anti-inflammatory medicine. After a while, the old man felt a little more energetic.
"Thank you, thank you."
Chen Zhongqian asked, "Are those people bandits?"
The old man nodded, "It seems so. This place is close to the border fortress. There are wars all year round. People come to the house to steal things in broad daylight. All year round, some ordinary people also go into the mountains and become bandits. They can't tell the good from the bad when they see people on the road.
"
"To be honest, I am originally from Yun'an County. I was really in a mess. I wanted to pack up my things and go out to join my friends. But I finally got here. Unexpectedly, all my belongings were robbed. If I hadn't met you kind-hearted people,
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to save my life."
As he spoke, the old man began to cry, "Everyone in my family is gone. My son went to serve as a soldier and did not come back. My daughter was snatched away by thieves. I am the only one left. Now I have nothing. It is better not to live."
Already."
Xiaoduo went over and said, "Grandpa, you can't say that. When you die, you have nothing. Only when you are alive can you have hope."
The old man wiped his tears and said, "But I have nothing left."
"It's gone now, but if it's still alive, there may still be one in the future."
The old man thought about what the little girl in front of him said and nodded gently, "You are right."
Lin Joy asked, "Old man, you are from Yun'an County. Can you tell us about Yun'an County? That's where we are going."
The old man was stunned for a moment, "You are going to Yun'an County? What are you going there for? Nowadays everyone wants to escape, and those who can afford it have already left. I see that you are dressed cleanly and neatly, and you don't look like poor people. What are you going to do there?
?”
Chen Zhongqian said, "I am the new Yun'an County Magistrate, and I am here to take office."
The old man's eyes widened, "You... you are the new county magistrate? The court is actually willing to send a county magistrate?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Although this place is chaotic, there are still countless people waiting for someone to make the decision. Naturally, the imperial court should send local officials."
The old man's eyes were red, "In the past ten years, Yun'an County has had several magistrates, but they all ran away after a short stay. They would rather be wanted by the court than leave. The people have long distrusted the government."
"I think Mr. Lang is young and kind. I'm afraid I can't hold him back. Yun'an County is not a good place to go. I don't know how long Mr. Lang can stay."
Lin Yuxi said, "I don't know what other people are like, but my husband wants to be a good official who does practical things for the people. He will not leave until his term is over."
The old man looked at Chen Zhongqian with hope, and Chen Zhongqian nodded, "I will definitely do my best to make Yun'an County better."
The old man still didn't seem to believe it. The two coachmen became anxious, and one of them said, "Old man, you don't know, right? This man is a prostitute. He is a capable man. He will definitely not ignore the people."
Yun'an County is remote and has little information. The people don't even know that there is a new county magistrate, let alone that the magistrate is Tanhua Lang.
"Seriously?" The old man's hands were trembling, "Are you really the prostitute?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Yes."
The old man thought to himself that such a young Tanhualang had offended someone and was sent to this place. His life was ruined.
But he is a prostitute, so it is not something that ordinary people can pass. He must be a capable person.
Although he has been disappointed many times, he still wants to believe again.
"I believe you will do a good job as the county magistrate, and I believe you will not leave easily." The old man sighed, "In this case, I will stay and help you."
