Chapter 190 Lian County
Chapter 190 Lian County
"Everyone, come down and take a rest. There shouldn't be any problem here." Seeing the small towns appearing in front and behind, Tian Zhenwei stopped the team.
"Ah, I finally stopped. This journey was really killing me." Tian Xing'er felt that it was a great achievement that she didn't vomit.
"Ugh" I didn't expect that my second brother would vomit as soon as he got off the carriage.
"I'm afraid the Second Young Master is not used to it. There is a reason for what happened this time. Please bear with me." Tian Zhenwei said a little embarrassedly.
"No, it's okay. There's nothing we can do about it." Tian Yuheng vomited out everything he had eaten that day, including a lot of yellow water. This was the most terrifying experience in his entire life.
"I'll go to the town ahead to take a look. If there's no problem, we'll stay here temporarily tonight." Seeing that the Tian siblings had recovered, Tian Zhenwei took people to the front to inquire about the situation.
With previous experience, everyone is now afraid, but they dare not be careless, for fear that there is an ambush in the town ahead. Although they know it is not aimed at them, if they are implicated by mistake, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape.
"It's okay. Let's go into the town, book an inn, and stay here tonight." Tian Zhenwei went for a long time and finally came back.
Seeing Tian Zhenwei say this, everyone naturally lost interest. They were exhausted that day, even the horses were tired. If they continued running, they would probably be crippled.
Everyone entered the small town, which belonged to Lian County, within the territory of Zhuzhou Prefecture. After leaving the border county, it would take another 1-2 days to reach Yingzhou Prefecture.
Thinking that they were getting closer and closer to home, everyone felt more at ease. After all, nothing special would happen here. Even if there were barbarians invading, they would have to attack Wu County. Even if Wu County was attacked, they would have discovered something here long ago.
However, no one has a clue as to where the group of people in the village came from. Now all we can do is to rest as soon as possible, set off early tomorrow, and leave the county as soon as possible to be safe.
"There seem to be a lot of people in this town." Tian Xing'er packed up and went to the lobby, where everyone was having dinner.
"Well, we've never been here before, so we don't know, but it seems like there are a lot more people than in ordinary small towns in the north." Tian Zhenwei looked at the people coming and going in the lobby. Although it was dinner time and there were more people, it seemed that such a small town shouldn't have so many outsiders.
"Brother Xiaoer, are there so many of you here? Has anything good happened recently?" Tian Zhenwei asked casually while biting a big steamed bun.
"Oh, there are a lot more people here recently than before, many of them with families. I heard they are all moving."
"Moving? Where to move? Why are they moving?" Tian Yuheng asked curiously after hearing the conversation between the two.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, there are a lot of people moving recently. Hey, sir, I don't have time now. I have to go and get busy first."
The waiter's words made Tian Xing'er and his companions feel strange. On their way back, they had not heard of any war anywhere, so why did so many people have to move?
"Second Master, wait for a moment. I'll go ask around. You guys eat first." Tian Zhenwei asked Tie Qi to stay and watch, and he took a younger brother with him, and found a random table to join the others.
"Hey brother, do you mind if I sit here?" Tian Zhenwei picked a big man in his early 20s who looked a bit honest.
"It's okay, just sit down. There are a lot of people here, you can do whatever you want." The big man glanced at Tian Zhenwei and the others, and then he started eating again, wolfing down his food as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.
In fact, it is just a porridge and a big nest, and it tastes like a feast. Tian Zhenwei recalled the days when he was still in the village, just like this big man.
"Two baskets of steamed buns from the waiter, and two side dishes." After Tian Zhenwei sat down, he ordered some food. Actually, he was almost full, so he wanted to ask the man to eat more. He was so big, and the two steamed buns in front of him would not be enough to fill him up.
"Okay, wait for me, sir."
The food was served soon after, and the big man opposite had just finished his meal and was about to leave.
"Hey brother, sit down and eat with me. I just need to talk to you about something. You are so big, how can you be full with that little food? If you don't interfere, we can eat together. You see, I can't finish it."
The big man looked at what Tian Zhenwei ordered and swallowed his saliva involuntarily, but still refused, "No, no, I'm full, brother, just ask whatever you want."
"It's okay, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, I'm embarrassed to ask." Tian Zhenwei took one for himself and stuffed another one into the big man's mouth.
"Hey, hey, then I won't be polite. Just ask whatever you want to know." The big man had hardly had the chance to eat a white flour bun all year. As soon as he got it, he wanted to eat it in one bite, but he held back and ate it slowly in small bites.
"Oh, it's okay, don't be nervous. I went north with my friends. I've never been here before, and I found that there seem to be a lot of people in this town. The places we've been to before don't seem to have as many people as here."
"Hey, you don't know, these are all from around Lian County. I heard that there might be a war soon."
"What, big brother? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. We haven't heard of this all the way here. How did you know there was going to be a war?"
Tian Zhenwei was really shocked when he heard the big man's words.
"How should I put it? We also heard from our relatives in Lian County that the county magistrate had been missing for a long time. Everyone said he was killed. People in the county government reported it, but no one came to investigate. Don't you think it's strange? Later, everyone heard that there might be a war."
"This, this is ridiculous. Maybe the court is too busy to send anyone to investigate. Who knows?"
"How would I know? Anyway, many places in Lian County are in chaos now. This town is still so stable because the chief guards it well. But who knows? Now everyone is thinking about escaping quickly. I don't know what kind of chaos will happen next."
"Where are you going?"
"I heard from people that Yingzhou Prefecture is doing well now. They were recruiting workers recently and the wages were good. Many people from our village have gone there. Not long after they arrived, they sent money home. If they could leave easily, they would all like to move their families there.
Now it's good, the county magistrate is gone, everything is in chaos, just take this opportunity to go to Yingzhou Prefecture, I hope it won't be too late. "The big man finished one, Tian Zhenwei stuffed him another, wanting him to talk more,
I didn't expect that the question would lead to such a big issue.
"Okay, brother, take your time eating. I'll give it all to you. I'm going to find my friend." Tian Zhenwei was no longer in the mood to continue eating.
"Oh, this is so embarrassing." The big man saw Tian Zhenwei leaving without looking back. Thinking that the money had been paid, he grabbed the remaining buns and prepared to eat them tomorrow.
