Chapter 701 On the Way to Escape 6

A man wearing a green robe took the driver's hand and jumped out of the car.

Ripple's eyesight was very good, and through the half-opened carriage door, he saw a gray-clothed attendant with a dagger stuck in his chest inside the carriage. He must have been this man's subordinate, but he didn't know how he killed himself.

When the man got out of the car, he raised his hands and thanked Ripple:

"Thank you so much, Heroine, for helping out!"

"You're welcome, sir! But in front of you is Haoyuan City, and there are many victims gathered at the city gate. If your carriage rushes past, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Lianyi also took advantage of the situation and cupped his hand, briefly explaining the reason why he helped.

Then Lianyi was about to turn around and leave. For people in this kind of officialdom, if you act too arrogantly, it will make them suspect that you have a purpose in approaching him, so she might as well retreat in order to advance. Anyway, there is a corpse in the other party's car. , she definitely needs the help of her heroic "heroine".

Sure enough, after Ripple took five steps out, the man stopped Ripple:

"Hero, please stay!"

This time Lianyi pretended to be alert, turned around and asked:

"Master, what can I do for you?"

Although the man stopped when he saw Ripple, he was very wary of him, and he put down half of his worries, and then he handed over his hand and said:

"To be honest, I wanted to rush to Haoyuan City, but I was betrayed by a servant who had been with me for many years. I almost crashed my car and killed everyone. Fortunately, I got the help of a female hero. But I am a scholar and I don't have the power to tie a chicken. I hope I can get it." The heroine will protect me, and when I successfully enter Haoyuan City, I will definitely reward the heroine heavily."

Yu Junyu said immediately, with a very sincere attitude, for fear that Lianyi would refuse.

"Are you a scholar or a scholar?"

Lianyi tilted his head and asked.

"I am a Jinshi of Enke in the 184th year of Daqian."

Yu Junyu immediately stated his identity as a scholar. After all, the social status of a scholar was very high. As for his identity as an imperial envoy, he would not deliberately explain it to Lianyi.

"If you are really a master of lifting people, you should be able to enter Haoyuan City smoothly. I don't want you to pay a lot of money. As long as you take our family into Haoyuan City without spending any money, I will promise to be your bodyguard and keep you safe. "

Ripple made a timely request.

"You mean, you can't enter Haoyuan City without money?"

Yu Junyu's radar immediately activated, caught the most critical words, and asked immediately.

"More than that, even if you have money, you may not be able to enter. Haoyuan City has been closed now. Only a small door has been opened for the wealthy and common people who are willing to sell their sons and daughters to enter. Even if our family is willing to tighten their belts, Even if you pay money, you may not be able to get in."

Ripple said truthfully.

"Is it already that bad?"

Yu Junyu frowned.

"If you don't believe it, ask your coachman to go and find out. The soldiers guarding the city gate have colluded with the human traffickers. I think it is only a matter of time before something happens to Haoyuan City."

Ripple said nonchalantly.

Yu Junyu thought for a while, called the driver over, said a few words in his ear, and then said to Lianyi:

"I agree to your request, shall we set off now?"

"It's getting dark now. It's not safe at night. Master Juren, could you please follow me into the woods to hide for the night? I will escort you into the city at dawn tomorrow."

Yu Junyu looked at the sky and accepted Lianyi's proposal.

"Horses must also be led into the woods, otherwise they will become food for the victims in one night."

Ripple reminded casually.

Yu Junyu nodded to the coachman. The coachman climbed into the carriage first, put away the dagger inserted in the dead man's chest, searched the other party's body, and after finding nothing, threw the body into the ditch, and then led The carriage followed Lianyi to the place where the Zhang family was hiding.

Before Ripple could reach the edge of the forest, Song Dachuan and Zhang Fengliang came up to him. When they saw the two people behind them in a car, they were very wary. Song Dachuan didn't say anything, but just signaled Ripple with his eyes.

"Dad, this is the Juren Master. He can take us into Haoyuan City. We will follow him into the city tomorrow. He will rest with us tonight."

Lianyi explained the situation concisely and comprehensively.

"Is it reliable?"

Song Dachuan asked in a low voice.

"Give it a try. If it doesn't work, let's think of another way."

Lianyi knew that the other party's identity was reliable, but she couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only answer like this.

"Sister Lianyi, it's a horse!"

Zhang Fengliang lowered his excited voice and said.

"Yeah! It's a horse! A horse that made it here alive!"

Ripple said with a smile.

Because it was traveling through the woods, the carriage was very inconvenient. In the end, the driver had to lead one horse. Zhang Fengliang grabbed the task of leading the other horse. Lianyi cooperated with Song Dachuan to get the separate carriage deep into the woods. , Yu Junyu just needs to be responsible for not falling behind.

The group of people walked deeper into the forest for another two quarters of an hour before they saw the Zhang family.

When Old Zhang saw that Lianyi and Song Dachuan were back, and brought two strangers back with them, he immediately went over to ask about the situation. When he learned that it was Master Juren who could take them into Haoyuan City tomorrow, Old Zhang continued to say Three good words.

Yu Junyu also gave full play to his advantage as a master of civil engineering and quickly chatted with the men of the Zhang family. He learned that they were the first batch of people to escape famine, and because of their decisive decision, they did not encounter major crises and were able to save their families. It's not easy to escape here.

He was even more surprised when he learned that the place they wanted to go to was Huangzhou, not the nearest Huzhou.

"Old man, you have a family and a newborn. Why do you want to go to Huangzhou, which is farther away, instead of going to Huzhou nearby? After all, Huzhou is richer than Huangzhou."

"Hey! We are ordinary people who only know how to farm. In a big place like Huzhou, even if we use up all our money, we may not be able to buy land. What will we do without land! We can't even have a piece of land in a hundred years. You can’t leave it to your descendants!

Huangzhou is far away and a bit desolate, but there is land there. As long as we are willing to open up wasteland for farming, with our family's labor force, we will always be able to save a few acres of thin farmland. With the land, we can survive. Land is the foundation of our farmers. . "

Although Lao Zhangtou couldn't tell any profound truths, he told the truth, so Yu Junyu listened very seriously.

The brown rice porridge that Yu Junyu and the coachman ate with them in the evening was a bit spicy, but seeing that the Zhang family's drinks tasted delicious, he didn't say anything and finished the porridge in his bowl.

Lianyi glanced at the other party, then finished the porridge in her bowl in a few mouthfuls, then hugged Huzi and warmed his body again, then hugged Huzi and went to sleep. She didn't have to keep vigil tonight, so she could Rest peacefully.

There was no talk all night, and the Zhang family started to take action as soon as it got up. Today's breakfast was richer because of Yu Junyu's arrival, and because he had to break into the victims of the disaster, Lao Zhang spoke up and made a rich meal. The thick rice porridge, the kind that can stand when inserted with chopsticks, keeps everyone full and strong enough to cope with any eventuality.
