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

Cheng Wan drove the carriage and followed the team forward.

The team was not moving at a slow pace. Those who were willing to leave home and could keep up with the large army at this time felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.

Everyone knows what will happen if the conscripts catch up.

That is definitely more serious than sitting at home waiting for conscripts to come.

So everyone is working hard to get on the road.

As time passed, the noisy time in the team gradually disappeared.

No energy left to speak.

The sun in the sky is poisonous and strong. It is a kind of torture to travel under such sunlight, not to mention that everyone is carrying a heavy load.

The first ones who couldn't bear it were the little ones.

Smaller babies are carried or held by adults.

Older children have greater tolerance.

Only children between the ages of five and nine have the most difficulty.

This is the house in front of the carriage.

A boy about four or five years old was holding on to the hem of his mother's clothes with one hand, wiping tears with the other hand, his mouth slightly open, crying: "Mom, I'm tired, wuwuwu..."

The woman who was called mother was carrying a basket on her back. There was a two or three-year-old girl in the basket.

There were large and small bags of luggage hanging in front of the woman. She was exhausted and sweating profusely. When she heard her son's cry, her heart felt like a knife.

"Dad, hang some more things from the cart on me and let Huzi sit in the cart and rest for a while."

The little boy's father was not only pushing the cart, but also carrying a basket of belongings behind him. He gasped and said: "Huzi, just hold on for a while, you see your cousin and your cousin are both holding on. "

Of course the man felt sorry for his son. Even an adult couldn't bear it, let alone a kid of several years old.

But he also felt sorry for his wife, who was already tired enough and could not bear more weight.

Huzi burst into tears, feeling aggrieved: "My cousin is already fifteen! My cousin is eleven too! I'm only five years old! Five years old!"

There was an older, majestic-looking woman next to her. She took a step closer to the boy's mother and said, "Brother and sister, please give me the baggage hanging in front of you and hold Huzi for a while. This child has suffered a serious crime."

"Sister-in-law, that's okay, you have enough stuff on you."

The mother-in-law of the two women, Mrs. Song, listened silently to the conversation between the two daughters-in-law, feeling relieved that they had two good-natured daughters-in-law.

But Mrs. Song's mind changed and she thought of her short-lived man and eldest son, and she also thought of running away from home this time. She didn't know what the future would be like, and the two married girls didn't know if they would see each other again in this life. It felt like a hole had been stabbed in my heart, and blood was pouring out.

In fact, Cheng Wan had met this Mrs. Song in the village before.

On the day Cheng Wan planned to buy a mule cart, when she returned to the village, Mrs. Song and several women were sitting under a tree chatting.

At that time, Cheng Wan drove the Jia Sheng family's ox cart by and said hello to a few people before going home.

This Mrs. Song was the one who finally persuaded the stupid daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Song carefully took out three coins from the bag on her waist, with a polite and even flattering smile on her face.

"Cheng Wan, I wonder if I can let my little grandson ride on your carriage for a while. Don't worry, it won't be in vain. We will give you money. If not, we can give you food."

Mrs. Song's two daughters-in-law and youngest son were startled and quickly turned around to look at Cheng Wan's face, fearing that their old lady would offend Cheng Wan and get a beating.

If Cheng Wan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Who do you think she is?

Is she that unreasonable and cruel and domineering?

Cheng Wan glanced at Mrs. Song, and then at the little boy, whose face was flushed with heat and looked miserable.

"Hand him over."

Cheng Wan drove the carriage and followed closely behind the family, and naturally overheard the family's conversation.

A very harmonious family.

It's not annoying.

Especially this old lady, she is very open-minded in her work.

Cheng Wan was not stingy about showing some kindness to others as long as he did not harm his own interests and had enough energy to spare.

She is a normal person with ordinary emotions, not a cold-blooded animal without emotions.

Aunt Cheng has been paying attention to the movements outside. She is very conscious. Although she is caring, she feels sorry for the little baby walking on the ground.

But she knew that her whole family had taken advantage of her mother's family, or her eldest niece.

So she didn't show random kindness, and she wouldn't do anything that might embarrass Cheng Wan.

Hearing Cheng Wan's words at this time, Aunt Cheng quickly poked her head out of the carriage, stretched out her arms towards the little baby's mother, "Give me the baby."

Xiaowazi's mother quickly lifted her son up and handed it to Aunt Cheng. She kept thanking her and told her son to be obedient and not to cause trouble.

Cheng Wan raised her voice and said, "Anyway, your family gave me the money. I can buy this little baby for ten coppers and sit there for a while. I won't suffer any loss."

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and quickly cooperated, saying loudly: "It's right to give money. Whoever wants to use other people's cars at this time must be so thick-skinned to do such a thing!"

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying in her heart: "This old lady is on the right track."

Mrs. Song's youngest daughter-in-law made a lot of noise when she handed her son into the carriage, and people nearby and slightly ahead noticed it.

Their mental journey in just a few breaths was as follows:

"Oh my god, what are you doing?! How dare you take advantage of Cheng Wan! You're so courageous! We're not going to start a fight soon, are we?"

"What? You actually got in! Cheng Wan actually let the little kid get into the carriage! Is Cheng Wan so easy to talk to? Then my kid..."

"What? Ten copper coins! Just to sit for a while? This is too..."

I can't find a suitable adjective. In short, this carriage is really unbearable.

The team continued to move forward. About a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Wan's ears suddenly moved.

Cheng Wan frowned and tried to eliminate disturbing factors, listening carefully to what was going on behind him.

Is this clicking sound of horse hooves?

Horseshoe?!

Cheng Wan's expression became stern, and his heart involuntarily lifted up. Are the conscripts chasing him? !

As soon as Cheng Wan made this guess, he heard loud shouting from behind.

"The people in front of you stop immediately! Wait for me to go back, otherwise you will be treated as disobedient and will be killed without mercy!"

"People in front of you stop immediately and wait for me to go back!"

!!!

"Ah! They're catching up! They're catching up!"

"Run, run!"

"They said they'd all be shot to death if they didn't go back! Then should we run away?!"

......

The originally good team suddenly became chaotic.

Some people pushed forward as hard as they could, while others threw away their luggage, grabbed their families and ran towards the hills on both sides.

Others were so frightened by the murderous intent in the words of the people behind them that they stood still and did not dare to move.

Aunt Cheng pulled open the car curtain and shouted to Cheng Wan: "Stop the carriage and run forward to find you to nurse them!"

Cheng Wan stopped the carriage with a calm expression.

Seeing that Cheng Wan had actually stopped the carriage, Aunt Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Go quickly and run away with your father, second uncle and the others."

At this time, Aunt Cheng was mentally prepared that she would probably never see her mother's family again in this life.

Li Sanzhu in the carriage clenched his fists and hated himself so much that his teeth itched.

He felt that if it weren't for him, Cheng Wan could drive the carriage faster, and he might have met Mrs. Lin and the others long ago.

It's not like Cheng Wan is left behind alone now. It's extremely difficult to meet up with Mrs. Lin and the others.
