Chapter 179 Chapter 178
"Baby."

Mrs. Tian hugged Qi Bao'er tightly, she had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't say a word, her heart was hanging all the way, only at this moment did she feel at ease.

"Grandma, I'm here." Qi Bao'er patted her on the back, punched her face that was already purple and blue from the cold, and pecked her left and right.

Ouch, Mrs. Tian felt as if she had eaten honey.

The old man Qi sat on the chair and watched with relish. The joy of seeing everyone arrived safely was gone now, only sour and sour.

It's been a long, long time since his darling has kissed him.

"Bao, it's a good thing you left early, when the Acropolis came out of the city, King Xuan happened to return to the city from nowhere, and the yamen guards guarding the city gate drove us all to the side and knelt down to wait for King Xuan to pass.

Not far from us, there was a group of people preparing to leave the city, and they also knelt there and waited. Among them were several children. After King Xuan's team passed by, a dozen soldiers rushed out and took the children away by force. "

Although everyone gave ten taels of silver, is this a matter of silver?

The most important thing is that the group couldn't get out of the city in the end, they needed a pass to leave the city, but the group didn't.

Mrs. Tian was really grateful to shopkeeper Zhao and they were so grateful. If shopkeeper Zhao hadn't taught them to pack the children into sacks and transport them as grain when they crossed the city gate, there would be more children in their group.

For Lao Qi’s family, there are seven under the age of ten. If you add the Song family and Qi Yuan’s family, there are eleven.

They also believed in the important thing. At the beginning, they only heard that they wanted a girl baby. They originally planned to hide Wuyou in a sack, and prayed to Kang An that just in case, the boy baby was also hidden.

Those who were taken away at the gate of the city were all boys.

Ye Sanni also sat there with lingering fear and was still recovering. She was still dazed after Granny Tian said:
"Mom, you didn't say that. I was so frightened that I lost my mind. When I met those soldiers who came up to investigate on the road, my heart was pounding."

After leaving the city gate, they didn't dare to release the baby from the sack until they could no longer see the Acropolis, and they couldn't put the baby in the sack all the way for two days, because the children would be frozen in the sack.

Unexpectedly, soldiers came up to investigate halfway. Fortunately, Xiao Er knew roughly where the soldiers would appear and reminded him in advance.

Half of the way later, they didn't dare to let the children out again, they kept them stuffed in sacks and they were not allowed to move around, for fear that another group of soldiers would appear suddenly.

Along the way, I don't remember being tired at all, and I don't remember feeling sorry for most of the belongings that they took the initiative to lose in order to leave the Acropolis.

The old man prayed, "Are the children all right?"

It was Qi Kangfu who replied: "It's okay, but I'm half stiff. I dare not move when the road is bumpy. Several times I couldn't straighten my legs when I got out of the sack."

There was only one carriage in the inn, and the shopkeeper Zhao drove away with Qi Baoer and the others. The other children of Lao Qi's family could only be hidden in sacks as well.

The carriages and carts of Lao Qi's family were also abandoned. They pretended to be a grain transportation team and went out of the city. Which grain transportation team drove the carriage?
For shopkeeper Zhao, there must be shopkeeper Zhao on the carriage.

Da Lang and Er Lang saw that they were grown-ups and followed them. The third Lang was bigger and could only bend over in the sack. He was one of the children whose legs could not be stretched straight. He was in the hot water bucket in the next room right now. Soaking.

Shopkeeper Zhao seemed to have predictive skills, and he asked the inn to prepare enough hot water. Now that everyone has settled down in each room, hot water is already waiting in every room.

The old man prayed: "It's good that you can come here safely. You don't have to squeeze here. Go back to the house to warm up. If there is anything else, we can talk about it at night. Anyway, we have to stay here for one night."

This is true, the family rushed to squeeze in after they were finally reunited. Now they felt at ease, and there was no time to talk about anything.

Granny Tian reluctantly let go of Qi Baoer, and asked the women to go to the opposite room, all women, it’s okay to squeeze into a pile of laundry, I’ve come here all the way, I’ve forgotten how to be ashamed.

It's even easier for men, what to wash, just wrap a cloth around the tub with hot water and wipe it.

They didn’t have to change their clothes either. Most people just wore a set of cotton clothes. Some got wet, so they took them off and dried them to continue wearing.

Qi Kang'an was nowhere to be seen until everyone from Qi Bao'er's house had already sat in Qi Bao'er's room and started eating. Then he appeared in white.

Ye Sanni hurriedly got up and took the broom to sweep the snow off his clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you sweep it downstairs? It's warm in the inn. It melted a lot along the way. Look, your clothes are wet." A lot."

It is not easy to dry such a thick cotton coat.

Qi Kang'an grinned and didn't explain much, he didn't see his daughter in the past two days and thought.

"Father, sit here." Da Lang got up to give up his seat and stood at the table to eat by himself.

Qi Kang'an was not polite, strode over and sat down, took a bite of the rice that Mrs. Tian had packed, and then chewed the meat with chopsticks.

After swallowing, he said: "Father, it turned out that shopkeeper Zhao and the others were going to help King Xuan transport food, so I thought why he had to leave separately."

He didn't quite understand at first, it was clearly a matter of front and back, but shopkeeper Zhao wanted to separate from them?
I wonder if shopkeeper Zhao has some plans.

Just now Xiaoer told him that he knew that it turned out that shopkeeper Zhao was transporting his own things from the inn, and what they were transporting was King Xuan's food and other military supplies.

The reason why shopkeeper Zhao and the others can enter and leave the city gate so easily, whether they are recognized by government servants or soldiers, is because of their 'love' for the soldiers and their 'loyalty' to King Xuan.

Since the beginning of the war, Yuande Inn has been volunteering to help the government transport food to various passes, and occasionally donate by itself.

It has been two months, and they will deliver food every five or six days, but not all the gate guards recognize them.

The old man Qi asked: "Did you go to handover with them just now?"

"Well, that's not counting handover, the food and cotton clothes and quilts are all placed in the backyard of the inn, Huzi,,, oh, the little one who ran close to us in the Acropolis, he took me to stamp the customs clearance documents .

Let's go tomorrow morning, the county will arrange a team to follow, and Huzi asked me to show my face and act as the deputy leader, so that those people on the road will not make things difficult for us. "

Huzi is the leader of this transport, half of the transporters are the inn's own people, and half are refugees like them.

The old man Qi's face changed slightly, "Will you send someone to follow us here?"

"Yes, I sent a team to follow, and when we reached Pingyang pass, the people who followed stopped and turned around, and Pingyang pass will arrange for people to follow the road behind.

In this way, there will always be people following the road behind until we deliver the grain to the pass. "

No way, they wouldn't be able to get out of the Acropolis otherwise.

We can only stand up and take risks.

"Then if we disappear by then, will shopkeeper Zhao and the others...?" He couldn't help them, but he ended up in trouble.

Qi Kang'an took a sip of soup and said: "I asked shopkeeper Zhao about this, and he said it's all right, the eldest son has arrangements, and there will be a show at that time, so we will all 'die'."
