Chapter 138
Freshly baked scallion biscuits.
Yan Shu couldn't wait to taste a piece. It was crispy and fragrant, and the taste was no worse than the ones sold outside.
I glanced at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
She put a pack of biscuits in yellow paper, and put three or four kilograms of fried noodles and bean powder in cloth bags, and took them out of the space together.
As soon as he returned to the house, he heard Yan Wu's voice.
"Erlang is back."
Jiang Ci responded and looked around: "Where is sister-in-law?"
"She's in her room. I don't know what she was doing. She hasn't left the door for a long time." Yan Wu came over to help unload the donkey cart and took Brother Donkey to the donkey shed to feed fodder.
Yan Shu put the things on the table, opened the door and walked out.
"Uncle, you are back."
Jiang Ci walked up to Yan Shu and handed a bundle over: "These are your clothes."
Yan Shu smiled and took the baggage: "Thank you, uncle."
Looking into Yan Shu's smiling eyes, Jiang Ci thought of the fallen coat and his cheeks felt hot.
Recalling the night when the house collapsed, she was wearing a piece of clothing that was not revealing.
It is said that vixens are naturally charming, and these clothes must be popular among the women in their fox world.
Although it was a bit revealing, it felt very suitable on her body.
Realizing that Jiang Ci had been staring at him, Yan Shu blinked in confusion.
"Uncle, is there something dirty on my face?"
She had been busy in the space for most of the day. She had just come out and forgot to wash her face. Could it be that there was something dirty on her face?
"No, I was just thinking about something and got distracted."
"You must be tired after running around all day. Come back home and rest for a while."
Jiang Ci responded and hurried back to the guest room.
Yan Shu looked suspicious. Why did she feel that the boss looked at her strangely just now?
-
Just as Yan Shu put the baggage back in the room, Liu Wenniang came back from outside with a basket in her arms.
"Mom, are you digging wild vegetables again?" She felt a little sore when she saw the wild vegetables now.
"All the edible vegetables have been eaten, and we can only dig some wild vegetables to eat. When we start fleeing tomorrow, we may not even have any wild vegetables to eat."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my daughter won't let you starve."
Liu Wenniang lowered her voice and said: "Daughter, the road to escape is not like home. You must be careful when using your spells outside."
Yan Shu nodded obediently: "My daughter is sensible."
Liu Wenniang said no more, knowing that her daughter was a decisive person.
Yan Shu took Liu Wenniang's arm and walked towards the main room.
"Where are my father, eldest brother, and third brother?"
"They went to your uncle Dahu's house. They said they wanted to cut some more bamboo arrows to take with them for self-defense."
Yan Shu nodded: "Dad and Uncle Dahu are both hunters, and their archery skills are not bad. Prepare some bamboo arrows to take with you on the road for self-defense and hunting."
"By the way, my dear, when I came back just now, I heard people in the village discussing that Yan Peng and Su Xiaotian had a big fight in the afternoon."
Yan Shu was not surprised. Yan Peng and Su Xiaotian had no relationship at all. When the two of them got together, they would either fall in love for a long time or grow tired of each other.
Judging from Su Xiaotian's current obsession with Jiang Ci, she has not let go of Jiang Ci at all.
"Do you know the reason for their quarrel?"
"It seems that Yan Peng had an affair with Su Xiaotian's maid. Su Xiaotian couldn't bear it and wanted to sell the maid, but Yan Peng didn't agree. The maid is now pregnant with Yan Peng's child. We are discussing taking a concubine."
Yan Shu sneered with a look on his face: "You've already fled the country and you still want to take a concubine? Yan Peng doesn't have any tricks in his book, but he is good at playing with women."
The master and the servant took it all and made the maid's belly grow bigger.
Even though Su Xiaotian didn't like Yan Peng, her husband got pregnant with another woman less than a month after she entered the house. This woman was still a maid serving her all day long. This was undoubtedly a slap in Su Xiaotian's face in public.
Even for the sake of the Su family's face, Su Xiaotian would not give up.
"Then what's Su Xiaotian's attitude?"
Liu Wenniang said: "Originally, Su Xiaotian wanted to go back to her parents' house in the afternoon. I don't know what Yan Yao said to her, but she suddenly changed her mind and actually agreed to let Yan Peng take that girl as his concubine."
Yan Shu's expression paused slightly.
When did the relationship between Yan Yao and Su Xiaotian become so good?
-
next day
Just after dawn, a gong sounded rapidly.
Yan Shu quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, folded the bedding on the bed, and packed the bedding with a piece of cheesecloth.
The biscuits, fried noodles, and bean powder prepared yesterday were placed in the basket.
She simply put her hair into a bun, and put all the silver hairpins, hairpin flowers and other accessories into the space. Only a wooden hairpin was inserted in the bun.
At this time, others got up and washed up one after another.
Yan Shu struggled to carry the big bundle and basket out of the room. Jiang Ci happened to come over after washing up and reached out to take her bundle.
"I'll take care of these. Sister-in-law, go and freshen up."
Yan Shu was not polite to him, thanked him and went to the backyard.
After washing up, Yan Shu returned to the room and took out skin care products and sunscreen from the space. These were all developed by herself. They are extremely effective in moisturizing and protecting against ultraviolet rays.
The current horrible weather will probably cool down slowly in October.
There is still a month of exposure to the sun. As a beauty expert, she will never allow herself to tan even when she is on the road to escape.
When Yan Shu walked out of the room, the Yan brothers had already hitched the donkey cart.
"Dad, you and my eldest brother haven't fully recovered yet, so it's up to you to take turns driving the car."
Yan Wen said hurriedly: "Let dad drive the car. My body has almost recovered and I can walk without any problems."
Yan Ersheng flatly refused: "Everyone takes turns driving the bus on the road, especially your mother and little sister. They are weak, so let them sit in the bus more."
Liu Wenniang urged: "These things will be arranged on the way. Let's gather at the entrance of the village quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
As the group walked out of the house, General Yan locked the door to the courtyard, and the family looked back reluctantly.
"I don't know when I can come back after leaving." Liu Wenniang's eyes turned red.
Yan Ersheng comforted softly: "When the imperial court repels the enemy and God rains, we will come back by then. It won't be long."
Liu Wenniang wiped her tears and followed Yan Ersheng and several juniors towards the entrance of the village.
When they arrived at the drying yard, it was already crowded with people.
The sky has just turned white, and the September morning is a bit cool, just like everyone's dull mood at this time and the depression of leaving home.
The village chief led a group of young people and counted the number of people to make sure everyone was present.
He said loudly: "Everyone, we are about to flee. There are many dangers along the way. For your own safety, you must follow the team closely, especially the children at home. I heard that the group of refugees have recently You are starting to change your child and eat it. If you don’t want your child to become a two-legged sheep, you should worry more about it. There are also some people who like to make trouble and sneak around on weekdays. It’s best to stay safe on this road. If this happens, If you come up with something stupid, I don't care if your surname is Yan or not, get out of the team."
After a warning, the people below fell silent, and Yan Fugui took the lead with his family.
"The big team is following!"
The seventh uncle, several clan elders and their respective families followed closely, and other villagers also followed one after another.
Not far from Xinghua Village, they saw a team heading in their direction.
The two groups of people met each other, and Yan Fugui stepped forward to chat with the man in the lead.
Soon afterwards, people from several other villages also arrived one after another.
The large teams from four or five villages totaled more than 2000 people.
Although several villages are walking together, a certain distance will be maintained between each village.
Just like this, I walked south along the official road for a day. On the road, I met villagers fleeing from other villages from time to time.
Perhaps on the first day of escaping from famine, most people could still see some smiles on their faces.
Looking at the dark figures surging in front of him, Yan Shu felt a little worried.
With so many people on the road together, finding water is a difficult task.
There is currently a shortage of water everywhere, and Nanwei Mansion is the hardest hit area.
If we can't find a water source in the next few days, we will almost finish drinking the water we brought from home, and by then there will be trouble.
In the original book, Yan Wu was arrested while searching for water.
This time, she must protect him.
