Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 123 Chapter 123

After returning from the mayor, Mu Yu asked Lao Sun to help find out the whereabouts of Wang's family.

At that time, Lao Sun patted his chest and promised that if he was given a day, he would be able to inquire about everything within a radius of more than ten kilometers. It couldn't be easier to find more than a dozen living people, so she could rest assured and wait for his good news.

Mu Yu knew that Old Sun was exaggerating, but he didn't care too much as he thought that this matter was really not difficult.

As a result, at noon the next day after a day, Lao Sun came over in a daze and said to give him a little more time, but he didn't get any useful news.

The next day, Lao Sun's answer was still the same.

This time Mu Yu knew that something was wrong, so he asked Lao Sun about the specific situation carefully, and Lao Sun was also puzzled.

"Ms. Mu, I checked with some old folks, and they all said that I haven't seen any other foreigners except you in the past two days.

To be honest, I was the first to approach you for business because my old buddies who lived outside the town told me.

According to what you said, theirs are much more conspicuous than yours, so it's impossible to notice that you didn't notice them. "

Mu Yu also felt that something was wrong, so she asked Wang to tell her more about what she knew.

But Mrs. Wang has been sitting in the carriage all the time, and she doesn't pay much attention to the outside situation, and her description of the topography is also very general, so what she said doesn't have much reference value.

Mu Yu told Wang the truth about the matter, and asked her to prepare, and at the same time, asked Lao Sun to search for it as hard as possible, and if he found it, he would give him a few catties of food.

It can be regarded as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

When it comes to dead horses, Mu Yu is still a little concerned about the horse that Wang said fell to his death. A horse weighs over a thousand catties!

It's only been three or four days until now, and the weather is like this again, so it shouldn't deteriorate. Even if it does, how can people at this time dislike these things?
What this horse can get in exchange is no less than what they can get in exchange for a cart of grain. It is a pity to leave it alone and let it rot and stink in the wild.

In particular, when Yang Erlang and Song Gao were doing business with some small shops or individuals under the introduction of Lao Sun in the past two days, they could find out how much people here value food.

This one horse is a lot of good and will save a lot of people from starvation.

So Mu Yu told Mrs. Wang about it, and said that maybe those people would follow the traces of the carriage to find it, and if they looked for it again, they might come across it.

Wang agreed.

A group of people took Wang Shi and asked her to find the place where the accident happened.

She couldn't remember the route before the accident, but after the accident, she walked out step by step, even if she didn't remember clearly, she would have an impression when she got there, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it.

It's just that even if it wasn't difficult to come here, the group of people couldn't find the place after searching for a long time.

Finally, I arrived at the place that Wang said was nearby, but I couldn't find the exact location.

Everyone got out of the car and searched around for a while. When they saw noon, they had to make a decision whether to return to Yuanshan Town or go directly to the mountain village.

Wang's face turned pale, she frowned in thought, and looked around blankly while holding her stomach.

Mu Yu looked around at the bleak scene and sighed silently.

Not being able to find it was nothing to her, it was just the loss of a horse that did not belong to her, but to Wang, it meant losing all her previous reliance, saying goodbye to everything in the past, and becoming a rootless duckweed ever since. .

Even though Mu Yu knows that she will try her best to make Wang's life in Taoyuan Village good, but this kind of life is not necessarily the kind of life that Wang, who was born in a wealthy family, wants.

Just as Mu Yu was about to call for someone to come back, he suddenly heard a man shout, "Over there! I saw the carriage!"

The few people who were close immediately leaned over, and Mu Yu also went over to take a look. There was indeed half a carriage in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly, and the other half was blocked.

Someone was about to run over to take a closer look, but Yang Erlang stopped him.

Mu Yu was puzzled, but Yang Erlang said,
"The terrain is not friendly to us, and I just saw that there were more than one person over there, but now I can't see any of them, which is weird."

After Yang Erlang said this, no one spoke.

Wang walked over with her stomach in her hands, and when she heard these words, she stood among the crowd and looked in that direction, her expression suddenly changed from worry and bewilderment to extremely firm.

She walked up to the crowd and shouted in that direction,

"Lvqiao! Granny Zhuang! Doctor Cen! Is it you! I'm here!"

She yelled several times in a row, and her voice became a little hoarse.

This is completely different from her dignified and polite appearance before. Obviously, she attaches great importance to this matter, and she does not hesitate to give up the etiquette rules she has abided by for many years.

Fortunately, her sacrifice was not in vain. After a while, seven or eight figures appeared one after another on the opposite hillside.

"Is it ma'am? Ma'am, how are you?"

"I'm fine. I was rescued by a passing caravan. How are you?"

After confirming that it was safe here, those people ran over and surrounded Mrs. Wang excitedly.

Some even hugged Mrs. Wang and wept bitterly.

Mu Yu recognized this person very familiarly, it was the maid named Lu Qiao who served porridge with Wang and gave her steamed buns that day.

When they were excited, they told each other about the experiences of the past few days, Mu Yu listened a few times, and roughly pieced together the things.

However, it is said that Mrs. Wang came here with a group of servants to defect to a property, but failed to defect, and in desperation planned to go south to Bazhou, but was targeted by a group of bandits within two days.

Originally, the two sides had exchanges and losses, but two days ago, the number of bandits suddenly doubled, and they began to charge forward desperately to attack.

The servants wanted to protect Wang Shi and others and couldn't let go of their hands and feet, and they were afraid of being dragged and surrounded, so they asked some of them to protect Wang Shi and go first, and some of them cut off the rear.

Those people who had wanted to leave first met another group of bandits, and in a panic, something went wrong and lost the Wang family.

The people who escaped from the bandits searched around, and it took some time to find each other, and some time to find the carriage where the accident happened, and their hearts were cold.

But they didn't break up immediately, but buried the dead first, and got together to discuss the way forward. Before they reached an agreement, they heard Wang's shout.

When they finally finished speaking, Mrs. Wang brought the group of nine people to introduce Mu Yu and the others.

"This is the man who saved me, this is my family."

Because of Wang's previous explanation, these people looked at Mu Yu and the others with friendly and grateful eyes, and expressed their gratitude to them one after another.

When the servant girl Lu Qiao saw Mu Yu, her eyes stayed on her face for a long time, she probably recognized her too, but she didn't say it.

Things should end here.

Mu Yu said, "Sister Wang, since you have found your family, then we are separated. We have been away for a long time, so we should go home."

Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, she looked embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.

Yes, what reason does she have to stop him from going home?

But the people around her saw her embarrassment and knew her intentions, so a woman stepped forward and said,
"Girl, don't worry, you saved our wife, and we haven't repaid you yet, so we feel uneasy about breaking up like this.

We brought some gold and silver belongings with us when we went out. Although this is not a big deal in a disaster year, it is our wife's wishes after all.

Besides, we have to inform the girl of the bandit's location so that she can avoid it. "
