Chapter 101 Pirates
Almost as soon as Lu Shili jumped on the donkey cart, the donkey cart sped off.

After a while, Jiang Tangtang recovered from the panic and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Shili clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's a pirate!"

Jiang Tangtang thought about the boxes of weapons he found in the cave last time, and his eyebrows suddenly jumped. Could it be that someone was colluding with pirates?

She subconsciously looked at Lu Shiyan, and at the same time, Lu Shiyan also looked back at her.

Obviously, the two wanted to go together.

At this time, Lu Shili was still in anger and self-blame, "I was afraid that my mother and the others were in danger. I saw the villagers being slaughtered, and I couldn't save them."

The whip in Lu Shiyan's hand spread even more tightly.

When several people returned to Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi was already in chaos.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming back, Su Shi pulled Lu Shiyan tightly and said, "What should I do?" as if she had found a backbone.

Lu Shiyan comforted his mother and said to Lu Shili, "Look at the family, I'll go find Manager Xia."

But before Lu Shiyan went out, Manager Xia came over first.

"Manager Xia, have pirates come to rob Zhuangzi before?" Lu Shiyan asked.

Manager Xia said: "I'm here too, but less often I rob villages. I mostly go to counties like Quchun in Xili to rob property. After the robbery, Yang Fan runs away."

"What about Raoying County?" Jiang Tangtang is most concerned about the safety of his family.

"The city wall in Raoying County is stronger than that in Quchundu, Xili. In addition, General Song's family has stronger defenses in Raoying County. Those pirates don't dare to attack Raoying County."

"Then why don't we go to the county seat to hide for a while?" Su asked anxiously.

"I came to you just to discuss this matter with you." Manager Xia said, "But I'm afraid something might happen on the road, so we'd better go to the city as a team."

"What about the villagers?" Lu Shiyan went to the battlefield at the age of 15 and had never been a deserter.Although he is no longer a general, he is not willing to just run away without a fight.

"There is a cave in the back mountain."

Manager Xia only said this. Obviously, he no longer cared about whether the cave could be hidden or whether the family's belongings could be saved.

"Shi Yan, mother knows that you can't leave the villagers alone, but can you think about it for me and the children?"

Su Shi grabbed Lu Shiyan anxiously and cried: "You went to the battlefield at the age of 15, and your father even lost his life on the battlefield, but what happened to us in the end? Listen to me this time, don't be stubborn Okay?"

"Mom, I listen to you!" Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and said.

The family began to pack their things in a hurry. They couldn't bring anything big, they could only bring valuable things.

Jiang Tangtang took advantage of people not paying attention and put all the beeswax and other materials into the space.

The Lu family only had one donkey cart, and so many people couldn't fit in it. Fortunately, the Xia family had an old ox cart, and the Lu family happened to have an extra cow, so it could be used.

Two families, just one donkey cart and two ox carts, crowded together and hurried to the county town.

Just as the car was about to leave Zhuangzi, Ge Shuanniang and her son and daughter caught up with her, "Manager Xia, Sister Jiang, wait a minute, you can give us a ride. We are going to the city too."

If it were anyone else, Jiang Tangtang wouldn't let anyone squeeze him.But Ge Shuanniang, that long-tongued woman, forget it.

Not only did she not stop the car, she also shouted to Lu Shili to hurry up.Ge Shuanniang had had diarrhea all day, and her legs were already weak. The donkey cart accelerated again, and she could not catch up.

In the end, I could only curse and go home.

Here, Jiang Tangtang and his party entered the city gate at the last moment before Raoying County closed the city gate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "My sister is getting married in the county town. Why don't you follow me to my sister's house to hide." Manager Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No, we just rented a shop in the city today, which is just right for us."

Jiang Tangtang concealed the purchase of the shop, but told the Xia family their address and invited the Xia family to rest in his shop.

Manager Xia naturally refused, "It's such a mess. I have to go see the girl first, otherwise I won't worry."

The two families separated at the intersection, and Jiang Tangtang took the family to the new shop they bought today.

After entering the yard and closing the door, the family felt relieved.

"We rented this house at the right time, Tangtang, you are the lucky star of our family." Mrs. Su said happily, covering her chest.

Jiang Tangtang said: "It's a coincidence!"

She took some pork out of the bag and distributed it to everyone, "Let's fill our bellies first!"

She originally planned to make more pork jerky and sell it in gift boxes during the Chinese New Year.But before she could talk to Shopkeeper Song about the gift box, their cooperation collapsed.At this time, I just took out the pork breasts to fill everyone's stomach.

He Qiuniang was embarrassed to eat such expensive things from her master's house, so she stood up and said, "Madam, I see there are ready-made stoves and firewood over there. I'll boil water for everyone to drink first!"

When she said this, everyone felt very dry and hungry.

After experiencing the pain of exile, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu both knew the importance of food. The first thing they packed during this escape was the food at home.

I would simply take out the food and make porridge.

Everyone was busy, but Lu Shiyan said: "I'm going out for a while."

Su Shi suddenly became anxious, "Your legs haven't healed yet. What are you doing out there?"

"Mom, don't worry, I won't risk going back to the village alone." After Lu Shiyan finished speaking, he told Lu Shili a few more words and went out.

Su Shi was so angry that she yelled, "This is so heartless!"

"Mom, although we have entered the city, it is not necessarily safe. It would be better if my husband went out to find out the news, lest anything happens. We will be blinded and there is nothing we can do." Jiang Tangtang advised.

"You said he went to inquire for information?" Mrs. Su looked at her daughter-in-law suspiciously.

"definitely!"

Jiang Tangtang actually didn't know what Lu Shiyan did, but based on his contacts over the past few days, he felt that he was a very responsible person.

People like him want to be heroes and save innocent people, but they will also settle down their families first.

Su Shi finally stopped scolding.

In the evening, everyone had a simple meal with pork breast and gruel.After dinner, Lu Shiyan had not returned yet.Several children were already too tired to stand it, and their heads fell asleep little by little.

Jiang Tangtang said: "Mom, everyone squeeze in and rest first!"

The car was too small to carry so many things, so after taking away all the food except the food, I only took two quilts.

In addition, there were no extra beds in the house, so it was finally decided that the men would all squeeze into one room, and the women would all sleep in the same room at night.Let’s talk about other things until we get up tomorrow.

Mrs. Lu couldn't hold it any longer, so she took the children to bed first.Lu Shili didn't sleep. He was holding a big sword in the yard and shouldered the responsibility of guarding.

Jiang Tangtang couldn't sleep, so he secretly hid in the space and made a lot of steamed buns and other dry food in case of emergency.
