Chapter 286
"Ah!" Ah Jiu looked back, unexpectedly she didn't find Tuoba Yan, but he saw her instead.

Tuoba Yan felt haggard on his face, tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and came to Jiu'er, and he got off the horse.

Ah Jiu smiled brightly and took out the oiled paper bag from his arms: "Try it, my mother said it's called maltose."

The tiredness on Tuoba Yan's face was instantly wiped away, he smiled like a child, squeezed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's so sweet, Jiu'er, I've been a little busy recently, so I didn't go to see you, you won't blame me, right?"

Ah Jiu shook her head: "Actually, my family doesn't have enough food. I want to go back to Heba Village and bring another bag from Grandpa Niu's house to eat."

Tuobayan's pupils shrank: "Go back to Heba Village?"

"Yeah, there is no land here, and I have nowhere to plant it." Ah Jiu said the truth, without a speck of dust in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll go tell our family Zhangtou, and I'll take you there."

Without hesitation, Tuoba Yan turned around and entered the inspection department.

Ah Jiu lowered her head and rubbed her shadow with her toes to play.

Soon, Tuoba Yan came out: "Let's go, Sister Ah Jiu."

Ah Jiu stretched out her hands as before, and Tuoba Yan would pull her onto the horse's back and sit in his front arms.

It was the first time for Ah Jiu to leave the city in such a swaggering manner.

The guards at the city gate will not ask more questions after reading it, nor will they verify their identities.

As soon as he left the city, Ah Jiu froze for a moment. Many refugees outside the city gate were full of despair.

She thought of those people who couldn't enter the city in the past, but now they are more like a bunch of beggars waiting to die outside the city.

"Xiao Yan, doesn't King Nanming love his people very much? Why didn't he order them to be dealt with properly?"

The more I looked at it, the more depressing I felt. Those old people who couldn't move were the worst, there were women and children, and even infants were crying.

"No, now that the war is about to hit the city, there is no time to take care of it, not to mention that there is no way to contain it, and water resources are scarce. Even if it is contained, it will be a group waiting to die."

When Tuoba Yan talked about the war, he was still very serious, and he looked more and more like a cavalry patrol.

"Sister Jiu'er, I know you are kind-hearted, but you are incapable of managing others, so I don't worry if you take care of yourself."

Tuoba Yan rubbed Ah Jiu's head.

"Yeah." Ah Jiu nodded fiercely.

The horseshoe slapped, until they left Liu County, those refugees gradually disappeared from sight.

When Ah Jiu arrived at Heba Village, none of the refugees could be seen.

The whole village is different from when we came here, with soldiers in uniform wandering around.

Ah Jiu's heart beat faster, why is the army stationed in Heba Village?A bad voice sounded in my head: the troops are retreating.

Tuoba Yan didn't say much all the way, and directly took Ah Jiu outside Niu's house.

It was the familiar double black wooden door, but it was not closed.

There were more than a dozen soldiers eating in the yard. Ah Jiu didn't look carefully at what they were eating, but saw a busy and familiar figure at a glance.

"Grandpa Niu!" Ah Jiu slid off his horse and galloped away.

Niu Dasheng was also taken aback, and rubbed his eyes: "Jiu'er?"

"Grandpa Niu!" Ah Jiu rushed forward and hugged him tightly: "Grandpa Niu, I thought you would never come back."

As soon as these words came out, Niu Dasheng's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost:

"Silly boy, this is the root of Grandpa Niu, why didn't he come back?"

Niu Dasheng stroked Ah Jiu's back over and over again: "Good boy, you are still thinking about grandpa, grandpa is happy."

"Your granddaughter."

"Looks good, quite juicy."

The soldiers said with a smile while eating.

Niu Dasheng twitched the corners of his mouth: "That's natural, gentlemen, take your time, I haven't seen my granddaughter for a long time, I want to talk."

Niu Dasheng bowed his knees humbly, and pulled Ah Jiu into the main room:
"Silly boy, why are you still here? Run!"

Ah Jiu was taken aback, her eyes searched the main room, and she found that the place where the food was stored when she left was empty.
