Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Facing his son's doubts, Lu Baichuan patiently explained: "Now if you want to check these things, you have to start from other places. Everything that can be hidden in the mountains has been hidden, and the other party will not let us know."

Prince Jing has been in trouble for so long, and people from the imperial court are also on the way. Even if the other party has a heart and a leopard, he would not dare to show it so blatantly. He must take advantage of Prince Jing's incident to hide everything that needs to be hidden. .

"Then how are we going to check?"

Lu Baichuan replied: "Where there are many people, there is information. I will take you to the city at noon tomorrow."

The dog became interested instantly: "Okay!"

When she went back, Jiang Jiuniang was still reading novels. When she saw them, she asked, "How is the situation?"

Lu Baichuan glanced at his son and motioned for him to speak.

Gou'er stepped forward and said, "Mother, Uncle Jing Wang's condition is very bad. If we don't go, his life will probably be in danger! In addition, we also heard a group of people saying that Uncle Jing Wang was harmed by them. He said that Uncle Jing discovered their secret, so he wanted to kill him."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan, good guy, he really guessed it right.

This man is really sharp about some things.

"As long as you are still alive, it's getting late. Let's get some sleep first and check the specific situation tomorrow. Anyway, the people sent by the imperial court haven't arrived yet, so we still have plenty of time."

Jiang Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she still had a breath left, she could save him. What's more, they were all here now, so naturally they wouldn't just watch something happen to Prince Jing.

"Yeah, that's what dad said. I'll go with dad tomorrow!"

"Okay, mother will put on makeup for you then, so no one will recognize you."

Jiang Jiuniang rubbed his head, her eyes full of appreciation.

For such a young child to be so outstanding, it can be said that Dog is her most proud work so far.

"Is it the kind of makeup my mother put on us when we entered Jingzhou City?"

The dog's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Jiang Jiuniang tried hard to think about the makeup she put on everyone when she entered Jingzhou City.

Seeing that she couldn't remember it, the dog reminded her anxiously: "It's the kind... with a lot of injuries on the body..."

"Oh, that!"

Jiang Jiuniang had an impression. It was originally a special effect injury makeup to avoid male conscription. Now it may be a bit exaggerated, but a similar one is not impossible.

"Okay, my mother will fix it for you tomorrow!"

The dog was instantly happy and followed Lu Baichuan to wash up in the nearby stream, and then the family of three got into the tent to rest.

The next day, under Jiang Jiuniang's encouragement, the father and son limped into the city as if they had completely changed their heads.

If there hadn't been a guide who could confuse the fake ones with the real ones, the two men would have been kicked out as beggars by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

After entering the city, the two looked at each other and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Afterwards, the two of them found one of the liveliest restaurants in the city for dinner. The waiter in the restaurant was very nice. He led them to sit down at a table in the corner and asked, "What do you want to eat?" "A few light things?" Just some side dishes.”

After only two days, I was tired of eating wild game.

Gou'er thought to himself that it didn't matter to him and his father, but his mother still had a little sister in her belly, so he must take good care of her. From then on, he could come to the restaurant every day to pack a meal with a good mix of meat and vegetables for his mother.

"Be objective, please wait a moment."

The waiter recommended a few delicious side dishes and was about to leave when Lu Baichuan grabbed him, stuffed a few coins into his hand, and asked in a good manner: "Brother, waiter, are there any jobs in this city that are hiring?" ? We went to the city this time just to find a job, otherwise our family would not be able to survive!"

The waiter had a good attitude. Now that he had accepted the money, the smile on his face became more genuine. He said in a local accent: "Hey, you are foreigners, right? It's no coincidence that you want to find a job." , We originally had work to do here, but there was an earthquake some time ago, houses and mountains collapsed, and many people died. Work has been temporarily suspended. Your trip is probably in vain!"

When Gou'er saw his father asking a waiter, he thought he wouldn't be able to find out anything, but he didn't expect that there was actually news.

Lu Baichuan's acting skills exploded, and then asked: "Huh? We just came here because we had something to do. Why are we here now and we say no? Then how can our family of three survive? There is still a child in his belly ,This is how to do ah!"

Seeing Lu Baichuan's heartbroken look, the waiter felt very sympathetic, but the current situation was like this. He said with regret: "You can only go to other places to look. Besides, although there is work in the mountains here, It doesn’t seem to be a good job. You can’t go home if you go. It’s even more inappropriate for someone like you to take care of a family. You’d better find something else to do.”

After saying that, the waiter went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, leaving the poor father and son staring at each other.

After dinner, the father and son walked around the city. The dog asked again: "Dad, where should we go to inquire now?"

"Don't worry, just take a look around first."

Lu Baichuan obviously has a lot of experience. Although he didn't ask anything substantial in the restaurant just now, he at least confirmed that there are people working in the mountain, and it is very closed.

There are only a few things that can be done in the mountains.

Either he was digging some secret tunnel to hide something, or he was mining, or he was raising troops like he did before.

At present, if the possibility of raising troops can be ruled out, the only options left are secret tunnels and mining.

Either one or both.

With this thought in mind, he headed towards the place where the poor people lived in the city.

The collapse of the houses in the city was not very serious, but the lives of the people were still difficult.

After walking around the slums, I found that most of them were women, children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. They all had grim looks on their faces, and no one spoke to them when they passed by.

"Auntie, do you know where I can find work that can make money?"

When Lu Baichuan arrived at the door of a house, an old woman was washing clothes, so he stepped forward to ask.

"Where else can there be any work? My son went and never came back, oh oh oh oh..."

The old woman burst into tears before she could finish her words. Lu Baichuan was anxious and asked what was going on.

The old woman seemed to have just found a chance to vent her anger. She cried and said: "In the past two years, the government began to recruit people to work in the mountains. They can earn two copper coins a day. All the men near us have gone. Who knows where to go?" They are not allowed to go home. Only when someone comes back with wages every month can they barely survive. I don’t know what they do in the mountains. News will come out every ten days and a half that someone is dead. My son is lucky and has been fine for the past two years."

"But who knew that this earthquake would actually bury all the people, and every one of them would come back, woo woo woo, woo woo woo... We are the only useless ones in this circle, the old and the young at home, there is no way we can survive. The government doesn’t provide any subsidies at all, so I don’t know what my family will do..." (End of Chapter)
