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

"Stop sending it off, go back quickly!"

Cheng Wan leaned out of the carriage and looked back, waving vigorously.

Cheng Wan saw the women and children waving to her, then returned to the carriage and sat down, then breathed out.

"I hope they can go well in the future."

Xu Zhinian smiled softly and said warmly: "I will, I will!"

Cheng Wan also smiled at Xu Zhinian and sorted out her mood.

"correct."

Facing Xu Zhinian's puzzled gaze, Cheng Wan reached out and took out two knives from a bag beside him and handed them to Xu Zhinian.

Xu Zhinian took the knife with both hands and looked at the two knives with surprise in his eyes.

"Did you get them back?"

"Yes, I found it where the bandit leader lives."

Xu Zhinian carefully put away the two knives. Chunwen was not on the carriage. Xu Zhinian planned to give Chunwen's knife to Chunwen when he stopped to rest.

"Awan, Shuoyang City, the capital of Liangzhou, is in Anling County, which is under the jurisdiction of my uncle. Come with me to Shuoyang. When we get to Shuoyang, I will definitely let my uncle arrange the best place for you. A place for you to settle down!”

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly. She only knew that Xu Zhinian's uncle was the governor of Anling County, but she did not know that the capital of Liangzhou was in Anling County.

Xu Zhinian's uncle is more powerful than she thought.

Anling County's status in Liangzhou is equivalent to the capital of every province in modern times.

No, it’s much better than the provincial capital.

After all, an ancient state was as big as two or three modern provinces, and Anling County was naturally much larger than the modern provincial capital.

As the highest chief executive of Anling County, Xu Zhinian's uncle's status in Liangzhou's officialdom can be imagined.

Cheng Wan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course that's good. I have to hold your big golden thighs well."

Xu Zhinian raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "I'll give you a hug!"

As they got closer to Liangzhou, Cheng Wan and his group began to encounter other refugees on the road.

These refugees are all going to Liangzhou.

Meeting refugees here shows that the war situation is rapidly expanding, and more and more ordinary people are being affected by the war.

Although Cheng Wan and his group were not large in number, they were extremely conspicuous on the road.

It's all because Cheng Wan and his group look too "rich".

Carts, mule carts, horse-drawn carts, and single horses.

How can an ordinary family flee with so many animals?

But late in the evening, the people they showed up outside were either holding big knives or hoes and machetes, and they looked very capable of bluffing people.

Not many people dared to come forward.

And due to the large number of livestock, Cheng Wan and the others were able to travel much faster than other refugees.

Therefore, refugees are constantly being overtaken by Cheng Wan and others, and then surpassed by Cheng Wan and others.

Until the day when they were dozens of kilometers away from entering Liangzhou, all the refugees on the road were left behind by Cheng Wan and the others.

A clearing near the river.

Cheng Wan was squatting by the river washing her face.

It was so hot that I was sweating all over.

Cheng Wan wiped some water on her face, turned to look at Xu Zhinian, who was squatting next to her and washing her face, and said to herself: "This is getting more and more informal, and less and less particular."

"Nian Nian, we should be able to enter Liangzhou by this time tomorrow, right?"

Xu Zhinian dipped the water on his face with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Well, if nothing else, we can go to a city in the south of Liangzhou tomorrow. I remember it is called Qinghua County. But Qinghua County is far away. Shuoyang City is very far away, and based on the speed we are traveling at, it will probably take five days to get there."

"We're almost here. After walking for so long, we're almost there."

Cheng Wan did a quick calculation in her mind. As of today, they have been on the run for a month and seven days.

It was mid-June when we set off, and it’s almost late July now.

After walking for so long and experiencing a lot of things along the way, Cheng Wan should have been uncontrollably happy that she was finally arriving in Liangzhou.

but……

Arriving in Liangzhou means that Xu Zhinian will soon meet her uncle, and then she can no longer hide what happened to her parents.

Cheng Wan really didn't dare to think about what would happen to Xu Zhinian then.

Cheng Wan looked at Xu Zhinian's fair profile and felt a sour feeling in her heart.

"Xu Zhinian, you"

Xu Zhinian turned his head, with an unhappy look on his face, "Why did you call me by my full name again? Didn't you agree to call me by my nickname?"

"I was wrong, don't be angry."

Cheng Wan's smiling face was so endearing.

"Nian Nian, no matter how painful or unhappy you encounter in the future, you have to remember that there are still many, many people in this world who love you. You have to be strong and brave, you know?"

Xu Zhinian's eyes were filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Cheng Wan suddenly mentioned this, and she always felt panicked.

Cheng Wan smiled and changed the subject, "Let's go, it's time for my mother and the others to cook."

Suddenly, Cheng Wan's expression turned sharp and her ears twitched.

There is a sound of fighting!

"Get in the car! Get in the car quickly! Get out of here!"

Cheng Wan took Xu Zhinian's hand and shouted to Mrs. Lin and the others while running towards them.

Mrs. Lin and the others were chatting and laughing, holding bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, when they heard Cheng Wan's loud shouting, their expressions changed drastically.

Then Mrs. Lin and the others threw away the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, grabbed the little kid beside them, and put them in the car.

"Quick! Climb in! Don't block the door, there are people behind!"

"Sanping! Huahua! You two hurry up! Run over here quickly!"

"No more food! Don't worry about the useless things! Don't leave people behind! Especially don't leave children behind!"

……

Cheng Wan had repeatedly emphasized to Mrs. Lin and the others on the road that once she shouted for everyone to leave immediately, what would everyone be doing? All must stop immediately.

No matter what you are holding in your hand, if it affects your ability to run, you must throw it away immediately.

In Cheng Wan's original words: "My life is about to die, so what's the use of caring about it? Things are coming, just remember not to leave yourself and your children behind!"

This time things really happened, and everyone didn't let their hair down.

Almost in the blink of an eye, everyone was ready and ready to go at any time.

Cheng Wan pulled Xu Zhinian to the carriage and quickly pushed Xu Zhinian onto the carriage.

"Let's go! Go quickly! Don't look back!"

After saying that, Cheng Wan ran to her horse, got on it, and held a big knife in her hand.

She was to ride at the end of the procession.

The first is to prevent anyone from falling behind.

The second is to protect everyone as much as possible.

"You little thief of the Gu family! I advise you to give up resistance as soon as possible. If you are willing to surrender, I can consider leaving the whole body of you and the child in your arms. Otherwise, if you two go underground, you Gu family may not recognize you at all. It’s you and your nephew! Huh? Hahahahaha!”

"Who are you calling a thief! You bastard who spits shit! How dare you say that to my young master! I will fight you, young master!"
