Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Chapter 37 Departure, pick up people in Peach Blossom Village

In just a moment, the peaceful Jiajia Village was completely boiling.

When Cheng Erniu, Cheng Erping and Xiao Lin ran back to the village from the bamboo forest in a state of panting and panic, they saw scenes of chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, and all they heard in their ears were the cries of old people and women. Scolding, men shouting.

Occasionally, there are also the voices of adults scolding children urgently, asking them to get out of the way, wink, and help carry things.

The three of them turned even paler, wishing they had two more legs, and ran home in a hurry.

"Ah... Ah Wan, let's"

When Cheng Wan saw Cheng Erniu and the others coming back, he felt reassured and interrupted Cheng Erniu's last words, "Second uncle, you drive the mule cart."

"Xiaoyu, you three come here."

Cheng Xiaoyu, Cheng Sanping, and Cheng Hua didn't dare to delay and ran over quickly.

Cheng Wan quickly put the three children into the mule cart and said, "Lie down on the grain bags and bundles and don't move."

Cheng Wan trotted up to Chunwen and took out two knives wrapped in cloth from the bag on her back.

"The small one is for you, and the big one is for your lady."

"Thank your lady for me and tell her to take care of herself. We will definitely meet again!"

Cheng Wan selected these two knives from the set of knives in the express cabinet, and they both came with sheaths.

The smaller one is about as long as an adult woman's hand, and the larger one is half longer than the smaller one.

Knives that are common in modern times were rare and sharp tools in ancient times.

Cheng Wan gave these two knives to Chunwen and Xu Zhinian, thinking that they might be able to carry them with them at critical moments.

That's all Cheng Wan could do for the two of them.

Of course, Cheng Wan hoped from the bottom of his heart that Chunwen and Xu Zhinian would never have to use these two knives.

"set off!"

Cheng Wan drove the carriage to take the lead, and Cheng Erniu drove the mule cart behind. Mrs. Lin sat beside Cheng Erniu, and the others trotted behind the two cars.

Before this, Cheng Wan had never driven a carriage, and Cheng Erniu had never driven a mule cart.

But now the two of them have no choice but to rush the duck to the shelves.

Fortunately, the two of them had driven an ox cart for a period of time before, and they had just asked the professional cart driver what skills he needed to pay attention to.

Under pressure, I am still able to catch up now.

Chunwen watched the two cars go away, clenched the knife in his hand, and shed tears involuntarily.

Chunwen wiped away his tears and said to the three cart drivers: "Let's go too, take another road and go back to the county town."

At Mrs. Zhang's house, Mrs. Zhang's second granddaughter was running into her yard quickly, shouting: "Grandma, Master, Grandma Lin's house is gone!"

Mrs. Zhang's face changed, and she urged her family sternly, "Hurry up, don't worry, I don't want those who can't be taken away. The most important thing is to keep up with the Cheng family."

The conscience of heaven and earth, from the time Mrs. Zhang arrived home with the "bomb", everyone in the family was being bossed around by Mrs. Zhang, and they didn't even have time to take a breath.

But Mrs. Zhang was worried.

As Mrs. Lin's best sister, she often listens to Mrs. Lin showing off her eldest granddaughter.

In Mrs. Zhang's heart, Cheng Wan was a very capable person.

Take this conscription as an example. If Cheng Wan hadn't had the connections to know the news in advance, most of the men in the village would have been waiting at home to be arrested.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang felt that she had to follow the Cheng family in order to feel at ease.

At least he could borrow some of Cheng Wan's light.

At the entrance of the village, Cheng Wan pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

"Dad, please lead everyone north and don't stop. I will go to Taohua Village to pick up my sister-in-law and the others, and then I will chase you."

Cheng Wan had already thought about taking Aunt Cheng's family with him.

For this reason, Cheng Wan had specially moved all the large objects in the carriage into the mule carriage.

She first laid a straw mat at the bottom of the carriage, two quilts on the straw mat, another straw mat on the quilt, and a soft pillow on the straw mat.

This is the "bed" Cheng Wan prepared for her younger uncle Li Sanzhu.

Thanks to the strong horses and mules Chunwen brought, and the spacious compartments of the two cars, otherwise the "bed" would really not be able to fit.

There was no way to "make a bed" for Li Sanzhu in the carriage.

Because Li Sanzhu can't get out of bed and walk yet.

Doctor Cao said that it would be best for Li Sanzhu to rest in bed until the wound on his head heals. When he can sit up, he will no longer feel dizzy or in pain, and he can slowly resume normal activities.

As for scrubbing and turning over in daily life, as long as you are careful not to touch the wound or let your head be shaken violently, it will be fine.

Cheng Wan also knew that given the road conditions in ancient times, even if she made the "bed" in the carriage very comfortable, the people on the "bed" would definitely feel swaying.

But Cheng Wan still decided to take Aunt Cheng's family of four with her for three reasons.

First, according to Chunwen, the intensity of King An's conscription was unprecedentedly large and cruel.

King An would not let someone like Li Sanzhu go to bed temporarily to recuperate.

Whenever government officials or soldiers go to a place to recruit soldiers, they will bring a doctor with them, and the doctor will examine those with obvious physical illnesses to see if they are serious enough to be in poor condition or to the extent that they must remain bedridden.

If not, they will be able to walk normally after recuperating for a period of time. Then the government officials or soldiers will record such people in a register. If they dare not report to the recruitment office within a certain period of time, everyone in the family and the neighbors will suffer.

In other words, once the conscription order enters Taohua Village, unless Li Sanzhu can be so cold-blooded and ruthless as to disregard the lives of his neighbors. Otherwise, he will never escape the fate of being taken away.

According to Cheng Wan's understanding, Li Sanzhu could not let others suffer a big disaster because of him.

Second, as mentioned before, Ganzhou is next door to the new emperor's Ningzhou, and Ganzhou is bound to become one of the places most affected by the war.

Ordinary people in Ganzhou are likely to live a miserable life in the future.

Third, if I don’t take Aunt Cheng’s family with me, the family, especially Mrs. Lin, will have to worry about it in the days to come. Aunt Cheng’s family will become a piece of carrion in everyone’s heart, which cannot be dug out or touched. It will hurt.

Similarly, Aunt Cheng will also miss Mrs. Lin and other Cheng family members very much.

In fact, it is still unknown how we will live in the future after leaving here.

But it’s the lesser of two evils.

Compared with the fate he might encounter if he stayed, Cheng Wan believed that Li Sanzhu would agree to take some risks and leave together in the carriage.

However, Cheng Wan was wrong.

Taohua Village, in the thatched house rented by Aunt Cheng and her family.

At this time, Aunt Cheng's face was pale and her whole body was trembling. She held Cheng Wan's hand tightly with both hands, as if she could draw some strength from Cheng Wan.

Suddenly, Aunt Cheng suddenly raised her head and pushed Cheng Wan away, "It's already this time, what are you doing here, kid? Hurry up! Go after you to milk them!"

Cheng Wan stood still, holding Aunt Cheng's arm with both hands, her voice full of calmness.

"Sister-in-law, as soon as the injury on my uncle's head heals, he will be taken away. Let's go together."

Li Sanzhu, who was on the bed, was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "Why don't we come together! Ah Wan, be obedient and hurry up to chase you and feed them. It's still several days before I can get out of bed and walk. I'll be fine for the time being."

Aunt Cheng's eyes were red. She suppressed the grief and panic in her heart and choked up: "Your uncle is walking with you like this. Not only will he not be able to help you, but he will also drag you down. Ah Wan, be obedient and leave quickly."

"And even if your uncle is taken away later, I will still be at home, so you can always find a way to survive."

"It really doesn't work,"

There was a bit of ruthlessness on Aunt Cheng's face, "If it doesn't work, I'll break one of your uncle's legs right now. This way, he won't be taken away."
