Chapter 460 Falling
The servant of the Wu family didn't listen to Lu Jianxin's question. As soon as he heard it, he cried sadly: "My old lady is gone, and the uncle was also slashed."
Lu Jianxin was so scared that he just blinked his eyes: "How did it get to this point?"
The servant choked and said, "The usurper surrounded the house, threw a torch, and hit the door. There were also a few strong men in my family. The old man sent people to the officers and soldiers for help. The wall was solidified by the wall, and more than a dozen of them were cut to death, barely until dawn. Unexpectedly, the back house entered the people, and the fire ignited and cooed. At that time, the old master led the women's family and the young masters of the girl to be together. The thief was abominable. He threw a few torchs in and cut them when he saw people... Later, he tried his best to kill a bloody road and easily protected the family out of the door. The old man carried the old lady on his back The old lady and the old lady fell to the ground. The old lady was out of breath at that time, and half of the old lady's back was full of blood..."
The uncle he mentioned refers to Wu Xiang's eldest brother Wu Fang. When Mrs. Lu heard that the old lady of the Wu family was gone like this, she couldn't hold the rosary in her hand. She closed her eyes and said in tears, "Do evil, do evil!"
Lu Yu couldn't help asking, "What happened later? How is Brother Wu? How are the others?"
"People snatched it out, but now I don't know what to do. The others are fine. Several men have only suffered minor injuries, which doesn't matter. The servant took a breath and said, "The villain went out of the street with the masters, and met the officers and soldiers and bandits fighting head-on. Only then did he know that the appeasement envoy and the prefectural government were broken. If they couldn't count on it, the masters thought it would be better to go out of the city and hide in But halfway, they met a group of officers and soldiers who went out of the city, saying that Pingzhou could not be defended. They were going to the nearest Qingzhou or Daizhou to report and ask for help. It is also said that there are rioters everywhere in the countryside, robbing people and set fire everywhere, so let the family be careful. The masters were a little hesitant... and didn't dare to go to the countryside.
Lu Jianzhong frowned and said, "Where the hell is your master? How can you be here alone?"
The man wiped his tears: "The villain's family and children are separated, and the villain has made it clear that the master wants to go back to find them. The masters didn't know where they had gone. The villain just came to tell the old ladies that they might not go to the countryside, and they also wanted to ask what's going on in Pingzhou City now.
Lu Jing whispered, "The appeasement envoy and Zhizhou have been beheaded... My house has also been besieged. I heard that they are searching for rich people and officers and soldiers everywhere. It's very chaotic."
The man was at a loss and finally said, "I'm just a present person. I'm sure they won't embarrass me?"
Lin Jinrong said, "Did you see the Lin family all the way?" According to this man's description, after entering the city, there is a target and division of labor... Some people go to attack the government, while others go to besiege the rich. Presumably, the idea is that even if they can't get it, they can't return empty-handed. The weakest of the Lu, Wu and Lin families is the Lin family. The Lu family can still rely on the slaves for a long time. The Wu family also has the strength to fight with the thieves, but the Lin family has no way to fight. She couldn't be worried about the man shaking his head gently. Seeing that Lin Jinrong's eyes turned red in an instant, she changed her words and said with relief, "It seems that she saw it... It seems to be out of the city."
Although they know that it may not be true, Lin Jinrong and Lin Yuzhen's hearts are better. After sending the man away, the Lu family fell into silence... They couldn't decide what to do. Will you go back to your old house? What is the old house like now? If you don't go to the old house, where should Lin Jinrong go? Why did Lu Yan send her to the riverside to prepare to cross the river instead of going to the old house in the countryside? Why did so many people choose to go to the riverside? My head hurt, but I still couldn't think of the reason. At that time, I just knew to follow him and follow the flow of people, but she couldn't but say it, so she summoned up her courage and said, "I think it's better to cross the river?" Is it not just Pingzhou that may be in chaos? I don't know if there will be reinforcements?" No one laughed at her, but no one paid attention to her. Only Lu Yan gave her a comforting look with understanding.
"I think the movement of this group of thieves... Most of them are still the heads of the former group of rebel soldiers. They are well aware of the rules and methods of the government's actions, which are not easy to deal with. Those poor people below can't wait to eat our meat, just like beasts. Lu Jianxin found a wooden stick and drew it on the ground: "It's Qingzhou to go here, and it's Daizhou to go here... It will take at least six or seven days to send troops to get the news from both sides. In these six or seven days, it will be chaotic enough. All the ones that should be robbed have been rob Qingzhou, our family has its own property. There is no need to ask for help. There are relatives in Daizhou. We can go both, but we don't have carriages and horses, and we only have a little money hidden close to each other. The dry food is even more limited. The weather is bad, and the road is not safe. It is likely to meet Once..."
When Lin Jinrong heard Lu Jianxin's meaning, he still prefers to go back to his old house. Sure enough, Lu Jianzhong said, "Old, old, small, sick, no carriages, no dry food, no thick clothes, how can we go far? Maybe something big will happen on the road! Even if you arrive safely, what if there is chaos over there? Don't you hit the door by yourself? When Erlang came back from Taiming Mansion a few days ago, didn't he say that Qianzhou was also in chaos? It can be seen that there is no place to live in peace. It's better to go near than to go far. I think it's better to go directly to the old house. There are all our people there. It's not like they will help the thieves to harm us. You can do whatever you want to do. Look at the family, they didn't escape, did they?
Lu Jianxin threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground and said in a low voice, "That's what I mean! Let's go back to the old house! The old house has just been renovated. There is grain, well water and firewood. If you close the door, it will be enough to guard it for more than a year. Don't be afraid of anything! I don't believe that these uncivils can be more powerful than the great cavalry of those years!" He looked around and said with a straight face, "From now on, no one is allowed to make trouble again. Clean up all those small thoughts and protect each other and run for other's lives!" He looked at the remaining families around and promised, "You are loyal, the descendants of the Lu family will not forget you in the future, but wherever we have something to eat, you have something to eat."
Everyone was excited by the words, the cold felt not too cold, the feet hurt too much, and the sick felt much better.
Lu Jianxin winned at Zhu Jianfu. Zhu Jianfu took the opportunity to say, "While it's still early, you and I will go to the nearby farmhouse to ask if there are carriages and horses. If we can buy it, we can also walk faster if women and children change their feet. The earlier we get to the old house, the safer it
So several strong family members stood up. Lu Jianxin first took out a piece of broken silver from the seam of his sleeve, and then looked at Lu Jianzhong: "Our money has been robbed. Do we still have it with the second brother?"
Lu Jianzhong put up with it, took off his boots, took out a piece of gold from the dark bag sewn on the leg of the sock and handed it to Zhu Jianfu, and told him, "Be sure to get it." Even if it's Lao Niu, it's okay to drive a car."
Mother Sha came over and said, "It's convenient for the old lady." That's why all the women suddenly felt that they wanted to be convenient, but in this wilderness, there are people everywhere. Where can they solve it?
Lu Yan gave Yilang to Lin Jinrong and said, "I'll go and have a look. Let's see if it can be discussed with the host. It's convenient. I don't know what he said to others. The family actually agreed to let Lin Jinrong them in for convenience, but there was a request that only two people could enter at a time, not many.
Tu Shi covered his face and said in horror, "Only two people are allowed to go in? What if they do bad things?" Her hair is messy, and she only relies on Lin Jinrong to give the ebony hairpin. Because she hasn't removed the clothes yet, what she is really wears is not a good material. She is old, her face is full of tears, her eyes are red and swollen, and she really doesn't look good.
Song couldn't help laughing: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, no one will do anything to you."
Lin Yuzhen just sneered contemptuously and went forward to help the old lady: "I'll serve the old lady in first."
Lu Yan was ashamed and annoyed, and gave Tu Shi a white look with hatred. Tu Shi blushed and put his hand down and whispered, "Aren't you scared out of your courage? I mean, what if the family wants to cheat us to go in and grab money?
"Do we look very rich?" Lu Yan couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded with a cold face and said, "Don't say a few words to save effort!"
In a moment, everyone solved the problem, and they saw Zhu Jianfu coming over and the families pulling a tattered ox cart, leading a mule and a smooth horse. First, he replaced the old horse in the old lady's car with a mule and said, "The mule is very strong. It can seat a few more people this time, and the ox cart is enough for the ladies and grandmothers to sit."
Lu Jianxin was overjoyed and greeted everyone: "Get in the car quickly! Hurry up!"
The women and children all climbed up in a hurry, trying to find a good place for themselves or those close to them, and stayed together. As the leader of the family, Lu Jianxin naturally climbed up the big horse, and Lu Jianzhong was asked to ride the old horse. Lu Yan, Lu Jing, Lu Zhen and others walked with Zhu Jianfu and others. The whole family walked forward magnificently.
This time, it was much faster. The women and children sat in the car and rubbed their feet, leaned on each other to keep warm, and excitedly said what to do when they got to the old house. Lin Jinrong was very worried. She always felt that God would not let her go so easily.
Sure enough, I was not happy for a long time, and I heard the sound of horses' hoofs coming from behind, which shook the mountain. The Lu family was so scared that they turned around, but when they saw a few people in the costumes of officers and soldiers running over, they shouted, "The military situation is urgent, and the horse is for use." Then a whip pulled at Lu Jianxin, regardless of whether it hurt people or not, he grabbed the horse's sling and went forward.
Lu Jianxin shouted in horror and fell off the horse on his back.
