Chapter 68

As the new year was approaching, old man Gao returned home and did not have to go out to run a boat, but Leng Dingshan did not come back.You Xiang returned the remaining money to Young Master Mo Er's land income this year, and the family only had five taels of silver left for the New Year, which was very tight.A few months ago, the cows in the family were also sold, and Xiaobao could only feed some soup and rice soup.

This year's Laba Festival, people in the village are very nervous, and there is no lively atmosphere in previous years. This is also the reason why old man Gao can go home early to rest. Because of the outbreak of war at Pingtingguan, a group of Lu soldiers broke into Wangchuan County but disappeared trace.Now all ship merchants are temporarily suspending operations and waiting to see what happens.

The villagers who came one after another began to panic, and fewer people went to the market in Lingzhou City, and most of them stayed at home and stopped walking around at will.The Huo family army sent troops to Lingzhou, which made the people in Mojia village both happy and worried. They were happy that the Huo family army was so close, and they seemed to be more courageous. They were worried about why the Huo family army would come to Lingzhou. Could it be that the people of Lu country Fleeing from Wangchuan County?So is Mojia Village safe now?

Mrs. Ming hugged Xiao Bao, her face was stunned, she looked at You Xiang, and was speechless for a long time.

Old man Gao sat on the wooden bench and meditated. After running the boat for more than a year, his spirit was getting better and better. He seemed to be much younger. His tanned skin was extremely healthy. He sat upright, slightly He pondered: "Girl, stay at home with the children, don't go out and run around, I can do things outside."

You Xiang rubbed Xiao Yi Su Qingliang's little hands, and said suspiciously: "Father, when you go out alone, remember to bring a stick with you, don't confront them unless you have to. Hand over the valuables, and life-saving is the most important thing. They are from the regular army, and we ordinary people who do farm work can't twist them."

"I will pay attention to this, and at most lose some property."

"Now that these people are being chased by the Huo family army, they must be hungry and warm. They will inevitably find the farmhouse to grab food. There is nothing to eat at home, but the few catties of white rice that my father called last time for the New Year's Eve , let’s hide it! We don’t want to go out to buy it again, so we stay at home and wait for the news.”

"That's fine." Old Man Gao stood up and walked to the back hall.

Aunt Ming approached Youxiang, her face turned slightly pale, and she asked in an uncertain tone: "Sister, will Lu people really come to the village to grab food?"

"It's hard to say. But, sister-in-law, don't worry, Wangchuan County is so big, there are so many ordinary people, they may not come to Mo's Village." Youxiang looked at her gently.

Sister-in-law Ming felt more at ease, lightly patted Xiaobao who was sleeping soundly, and sighed: "The people of Lu country have nothing to eat when they encounter natural disasters, so they come to our Lingzhou to make trouble. How can there be such a reason..."

You Xiang didn't respond, leaving Ming Sao alone, she was a little hesitant, when the village chief informed the villagers before, his face was very ugly, after everyone left, You Xiang quietly talked to the village chief's wife Tian for a while.This time it was not so simple. The boy Mo Laixu talked with the village chief all afternoon after he came back from the boat. Now the Hu family fleet dare not set sail. I don't know how serious the matter is.They vaguely suspected that a group of exiled soldiers from the Lu Kingdom had hid in the Changling area of ​​the Nanshan Mountain in Lingzhou. It was only a hundred miles away from Mojia Village. If they rode horses, they would be there in half a day.

But this winter, many animals hibernate, have no food to supplement, and are chased by Huo's army. They will inevitably run to Mojia Village. is the preferred location.
