Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1669 Calm down (four more)
"A middle-aged man? With a five or six-month-old child?"

The woman got the money, stood there racking her brains, then shook her head.

"I haven't seen it myself, but I can ask them for you."

The woman then turned around and waved towards the dodgy women over there, who were looking over here.

"Don't be afraid, you guys, these are the officers and soldiers of our Daqi, not the southern barbarians."

"Come here, I have something to ask you!"

After the women came over, the woman told them again what Yang Ruoqing asked her about just now.

Several women gathered their heads together and started chatting and discussing.

One of the women said: "There are two people. I was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden on the other side of the village yesterday. There was a man with a beard and a baby in his arms, begging for water from me."

"I took a look at the little baby. It looks like five or six months old. Boy, it looks so painful!"

"Seeing me staring at him, he still smiles at me!" said the woman.

Yang Ruoqing seemed to be hearing the sounds of the sky, she didn't care that the woman's hands were still stained with leaves from washing vegetables, she stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand.

The woman was startled and took a step back.

Yang Ruoqing's face was flushed and her breathing was short of breath.

"Sister-in-law, help me think about it again, where did they go later?" she asked.

The woman thought for a while, "I asked him, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head with a smile."

"I think that man is very strange, he has a beard, but he doesn't look like a bad guy."

"It's good for that child, if you hold it in your arms, it should be going to Gong's Village in the south," the woman said.

"Where should Gongjiacun go?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The woman raised her finger and pointed in one direction: "It looks like Wulidi."

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up instantly.

So, Chen'er is five miles away from him right now?

"Sister-in-law, thank you very much. If I find them, I will come back and thank you very much!"

Yang Ruoqing said, grabbed another handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of the woman who provided clues, and turned to leave.

The woman was surprised and delighted when she saw so much money in her hand.

This money can buy several catties of pork meat for the children in the family!

"Girl wait a minute!" She called Yang Ruoqing again.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

The woman said: "Excuse me for asking too much, are the two of you your relatives?"

Yang Ruoqing was startled, and said: "I don't recognize the old one, but the young one is my son."

Several women were surprised, "You lost your son?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

The faces of several women showed sympathy, and the woman who called her earlier said again: "Girl, you have to be careful when you go to Gongjia Village, that area is not as peaceful as ours."

"I heard that in the past two days, several groups of soldiers went there. Maybe there is going to be a war again. We dare not go there to visit relatives and friends!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful, goodbye!"

……

All the way to the south, go straight to Gongjia Village.

When she was about to reach Gong's Village, Yang Ruoqing noticed that there was something unusual about the roadside.

This season is the beginning of August in the lunar calendar.

Autumn in the south is full of autumn at this time.

In the paddy fields on both sides of the road, the rice in the second season is golden and golden, and it is about to be harvested.

Before coming out of Xiushui Town, on the way to Gujia Village, all I saw was the scene of a bumper harvest.

But this is going to Gongjia Village, the crop fields on both sides of the road are obviously ruined.

"Looking at the situation, it shouldn't be barbarians grabbing food, it should be trampled by a large number of people rushing to get in the way!"

Yang Ruoqing sat on the horseback, looked at the situation on both sides of the road, and muttered.

Xiao Yaxue also followed in disguise, and when she heard this, she immediately came to Yang Ruoqing's side.

"Qing'er, let's not rush into Gong's Village, it won't be too late after that Xiaobo comes back!" Xiao Yaxue said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Soon, Pioneer Xiaobo came back.

"Tell Madam, Gong Family Village seems to have been destroyed, but no bandits have been detected yet!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded slightly: "Go, go and have a look!"

The group soon came to Gongjia Village, which was different from what they had seen in Gujia Village before.

Gongjia Village obviously looked like it had been devastated. The doors and windows of every house were closed, and the atmosphere in the village was oppressive.

After the group entered the village, they divided into two groups, the left and the right, so as to meet them at any time.

Yang Ruoqing knocked on the door and window of one of the houses, and dragged the family out from under the bed.

After some reassurance, I finally found out the situation from this family.

It turned out that just two days ago, bandits from the Black Lotus Sect passed through this village.

They didn't kill people and loot goods, but they passed through the village, but they still disturbed the small Gongjia Village beyond words.

"We heard the wind that two groups of people were fighting at Wuling Mountain, thirty miles away."

"If there are not enough people, food and grass, we will come to our villages to grab them at any time."

"We were so frightened that we didn't dare to go out. Every family was lying under the bed, in the cellar, and we didn't dare to show our faces!"

The male owner of this family said in shock.

Yang Ruoqing frowned.

She doesn't pay attention to who fights with whom.

Small-scale wars happen everywhere, anytime, anywhere.

Right now, the only thing she wants to do is to find Chen'er!

"Brother, let me ask you something..."

Yang Ruoqing asked the man in front of her again what she had inquired about with the women in Gujia Village.

The man was surprised when he heard Yang Ruoqing's words.

Turning around, she asked the woman who was still lying under the bed behind her: "Mother, the father and two who came to our house yesterday, you still breastfeed the child, what does the child look like?"

The woman poked her head out from under the bed, "The child is similar to what this girl said, about five or six months old."

"I nursed him, and changed his diapers. By the way, there is a black birthmark the size of a fingernail on the child's butt..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Ruoqing became excited.

"Sister-in-law, where did they go? Do you know? Tell me quickly!"

The woman thought for a while and asked the man, "When they left, what did the uncle say? Which village did he seem to be going to?"

The man slapped his thigh: "Oh no, it's Hongcun!"

……

"Ma'am, according to the information just received, Hong Village is in the direction leading to Wuling Mountain."

"That road is very unsafe now." Xiao Bo said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "No matter how unsafe, I will go find my son!"

Xiao Yaxue asked Xiao Bo: "You are familiar with the terrain, do you know that there is another road leading to Hongcun?"

Xiao Bo thought for a while, "There is another one, but it has to go around for a few miles."

Xiao Yaxue said: "I decide, let's take a detour!"

"Ya Xue..." Yang Ruoqing spoke, but was interrupted by Xiao Yaxue again.

"Qing'er, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the more calm you are at this time!"

"It's too dangerous to take the road to Wuling Mountain. It's very likely that Nan Wangye is fighting with the Black Lotus Sect. If we don't want to get involved in this matter, we can take a detour!"
