Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

"Thank you, second brother...Also, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again with the household registration matter in the future."

"We are family, why bother talking about whether it is troublesome or not? You don't have to be so polite, big sister!"

Yang Xiudong felt strange inside. She was used to Yang Yuanzu's cold attitude before. Now seeing the other party smiling enthusiastically, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After Yang Xiudong finished explaining everything, she found an excuse to leave. She really didn't know how to get along with Yang Yuanzu. After coming out, she couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on her hands.

Maybe it was because of the deception of "Master Jia" at the beginning, and the disappearance of the fire later, she always felt that her second brother was not simple.

Just now when she went to Yang Yuanzu to ask for help, the other party seemed to have expected it and even thought of an excuse for her. Yang Xiudong, who had seen countless people, felt that her second brother was like a smiling tiger.

There had been chaos in the outer city for several days. Not only were the common people in chaos, but the various forces that remained in Changjing were also fighting every few days. The Yang family was harassed several times in the name of investigating spies.

As soon as those people entered the house, they started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets. Fortunately, the Yang family had already hidden all the valuables and food in the basement, and even Yang Xiudong, who had no ID card, was hidden in the basement as well.

After those people checked the things, they started to check the people again. When Yang Yuanzu saw that they had finished checking the people, he put on an official air and asked them to leave.

Fortunately, these people still had some consideration for Yang Yuanzu, the agricultural official, and did not act too harshly.

Always leave a way out for the possibility of meeting again in the future. Maybe the other person will return to the court to continue serving, so these people left Yang's Mansion after finishing the investigation.

After these people left, Xiao Fan organized the servants in the house to tidy up the house. Xiao Fan saw that some things were missing from the house, so he told Lin Ting'an about it.

"They are just some insignificant little things. As long as everyone is okay, that's good." After Lin Ting'an calmed down the people below, he began to ask Yang Yuanzu: "Whose side is this from?"

Yang Yuanzu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Civil officials rarely come into contact with military officials."

Not only do they not have contact, they don't even see each other in normal times. These people usually stay in the military camps outside the city or inside the city. Only the leaders with higher ranks will go to the palace to attend court meetings. After the court meetings, these leaders will rush to their respective military camps.

When these people are sent abroad to fight in wars, they will not come back for several years, so it is normal for civil officials not to know military officers and generals.

These days some people ran to the inner city to save their lives. After what happened with Yang Xiudong, Yang Yuanzu was no longer as cautious about saving strangers as before. After discussing with his family, especially with Yang Xiudong, he took in some women, boys and children who had no ability to protect themselves.

The person who made the biggest sacrifice in taking in outsiders was Yang Xiudong. She had no identity, so she had to avoid appearing in front of outsiders during this period.

When Aunt Chen heard that her eldest daughter would be wronged, she was extremely unwilling, but Yang Xiudong insisted on saving her daughter and persuaded Aunt Chen to agree with her idea by saying that doing good deeds would accumulate virtue and make good connections.

At this time, Aunt Chen felt both resentful and grateful towards the gods and Buddhas, and her mood was very complicated.

She blamed the gods and Buddhas for making it take her more than 20 years to see her daughter, but she also thanked the gods and Buddhas for finally sending her daughter to her side.

The continuous increase in the number of people made the Yang family gradually unable to bear the financial difficulties. People need three meals a day to survive. The rice and grain stored in the house began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the pig that Aunt Chen had kept for the New Year was killed for emergency use.

Moreover, as the number of people increased, problems of all sizes began to emerge. If one person accidentally caught a cold, others with weak immunity would be infected. Even the youngest child in the family, Hu Wa, fell seriously ill and had a high fever. If they had not lived close to the Luo family, they would not have known where to find a doctor.

Yang Yuanzu looked at his whole family and realized that he couldn't go on like this. Their rescue was just a drop in the bucket. If he didn't do anything, even his own family would be dragged down.

It was late at night, the moon was dim, the stars were sparse, and the sound of dogs barking was intermittent. Two dark shadows were carrying packages and shuttling through the streets and alleys.

After leaving the inner city, the barking sounds of dogs gradually disappeared. Yang Yuanzu guessed that most of the dogs outside had become other people's meals.

People are almost unable to survive, so naturally they can't take care of the dog.

Even if you are reluctant to take action, it will be snatched away by someone stronger than you.

Yang Yuanzu originally planned to go out alone, but Lin Ting'an was worried and sent his trusted bodyguard No. 2 to go with him.

In order not to attract attention, the two of them set out late at night away from the crowd.

Arriving at the city gate and finding an unguarded place, Yang Yuanzu did not waste any time. He asked No. 2 to help him keep watch while he did the work himself.

Number Two didn’t know what Yang Yuanzu was tinkering with, he only knew that his mission was to protect Yang Yuanzu.

After a while, Yang Yuanzu quickly walked to the guard's side and said seriously, "Run!"

Number Two thought he was discovered, so he ran away, even faster than Yang Yuanzu.

Suddenly, there were several loud noises coming from behind. Before No. 2 could look back, he was knocked to the ground by Yang Yuanzu. He looked in the light of the fire and saw several large rocks flying over their heads and landing in front of them.

Before he could react, Yang Yuanzu pulled him again and shouted, "Run!"

The guard was shocked and continued to run after Yang Yuanzu. After returning to the Yang family, Yang Yuanzu asked him not to tell anyone what he saw or heard today.

The security guard nodded. He was confused the whole night.

After hearing the noise, the Yang family members gathered together to discuss quietly, but were stopped by Lin Ting'an: "I don't care if you are from the Yang family or you are just staying here temporarily, please don't make noise at night and disturb the host's rest. If you make noise and attract people from outside, you will be blamed and I will not be polite!"

After hearing this, no matter how curious everyone was, they forced themselves to suppress their desire to speak and went back to their beds on the floor to sleep.

It is really warm lying in bed. It is probably too cold outside at night to sleep.

As soon as Yang Yuanzu returned home, Lin Ting'an came up to him anxiously and asked in a low voice, "Is it done?"

"It's done." Yang Yuanzu changed his clothes and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the people can escape from the city tonight."

Suddenly, Yang Yuanzu couldn't help coughing twice, and Lin Ting'an began to grumble distressedly: "I told the guards to go, but you insisted on going by yourself. Take off your clothes so that I can see the arrow wound on your back!"

Yang Yuanzu said as he took off his underwear: "I'm afraid something might happen. No. 2 doesn't know how to use the bomb, nor does he understand its danger."

"The wound has split a little. Wait!" Lin Ting'an took out the wound medicine that Doctor Luo had left and smeared some on it. "I'll go to Doctor Luo tomorrow to have a look at the wound."

"Good good..."
