Why marry someone when you are reborn?
Chapter 3 Chaos
Xie Wanqing was silent for a while.
Xu Yun knew that Xie Wanqing did not support him.
For Xie Wanqing, the Xu family is her husband's family and the Xie family is her parents' family. Leaving these two homes means that they will no longer have shelter and will no longer be homeless.
Xu Yun called softly: "Mother——"
She was ready to persuade Xie Wanqing again.
Xie Wanqing was a kind and indecisive person. Otherwise, she would not be so disrespected by the Xu family, even though she was the daughter of the Xie family, and even bullied and treated harshly by the concubines.
But what people didn't expect was that Xie Wanqing gently covered Xu Yun's hand with hers and said softly, "Ah Yun, it's mother who is useless. Now you have grown up and have things you want to do. Mother will listen to you."
Xu Yun was so surprised that his eyes widened.
The next moment, Xie Wanqing hugged him in her arms: "My little Ah Yun..."
Xie Wanqing might have something to say later, but her voice was too soft and Xu Yun couldn't hear it at all.
She only felt her shoulders gradually getting wet, that warm wetness that made her feel heavy but not sinking.
Hongyu was almost dying of anxiety: "My two ancestors, let's go quickly. If we are caught, we will be in big trouble!"
Xu Yun and Xie Wanqing hurriedly separated. After each of them wiped their eyes, Xu Yun said to the driver, "Let's go."
This driver was also part of Xie Wanqing's dowry, so he can be trusted.
Xu Yun ordered: "Go directly north. No matter what the cost, hurry up first."
The driver, Ding Bo, was already in his forties, with white hair. Hearing this, he grinned with his toothless mouth: "Hold on tight, young lady. Let me show you my skills today!"
Ding Bo cracked the whip and the horse broke into a trot.
Xu Yun and the other three were sitting in the car, feeling the bumps, but they all had smiles on their faces - what's the big deal about the bumps, the car would be better if it went faster!
After walking for a while, Xie Wanqing looked at the people on the road heading to the city, and couldn't help but worry: "The world is so chaotic, Ah Yun, will we be unsafe outside the city?"
"It's not safe to enter the city now." Xu Yun sighed: "Whether they are bandits or military bandits, who doesn't know that the city is rich?"
After being reborn, three days later, the Stone Army suddenly attacked and broke into the city, and then massacred the entire city.
Time was running out, and she had no time to make more arrangements. She took out her savings of many years, secretly arranged for Ding Bo to buy a carriage, bribed the old woman, stole the key and copied it, and prepared tung oil to set fire. This was her limit.
Fortunately, Xu Sanlang was still planning to marry her to the Zhu family, so he found this excuse and took Xie Wanqing away in an emergency.
Otherwise, Xu Yun didn't know how to convince Xie Wanqing.
However, Xie Wanqing's worries are not unreasonable.
Xu Yun took out a pack of powder mixed with gardenia powder and asked Xie Wanqing and Hongyu to apply it on all exposed skin parts. He also shaved their hair to make it messy. "This is just in case. If we paint our faces yellow and encounter something... we will pretend to have tuberculosis. Cough hard. Cough so hard that others dare not get close to us!"
Who isn't afraid of tuberculosis?
The three of them were all women. If they really encountered bandits, not only would they be unable to fight them, but they would also be easily robbed or violated. At this time, it would be useless to pretend to be ugly. Only infectious diseases were something that everyone had to avoid!
In addition to the yellow powder, Xu Yun also took out a bag of herbs, dragged a small clay stove from the carriage, lit a piece of charcoal, and started to boil the medicine in a clay pot on the spot!
Ding Bo was asked to buy the medicine at random. It didn’t matter what the medicine was for, the key was that it had a strong smell!
By the time the water in the pottery jar had boiled the medicine, the whole carriage was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Xie Wanqing and Hongyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and neither of them showed any disgust. They even moved closer on purpose, letting their hair and clothes be stained with the smell of medicine!
After walking more than ten miles, the sun was already high overhead, and Xu Yun's heart finally settled down a little: This time, even if Xu Sanlang reacted in advance, he would never be able to catch up with them!
After all, Xu Sanlang could not have imagined that when they escaped, they did not go south, but went directly north!
There is war going on in the north now. I have only heard of people fleeing, but I have never heard of anyone running away to die!
Then you must be very dissatisfied with yourself for living too long?
On this side, Xu Yun and his group of four hurriedly left the city and headed north.
On the other side, the Xu family finally put out the fire. Xu Sanlang rushed into the study and saw that blood had rushed to the top of his head - this study had definitely been entered by an outsider!
Thinking about the disappearance of Xie Wanqing and her daughter, Xu Sanlang's eyes went dark, and he held on to a charred pillar to avoid falling down: "There's actually a thief in the family!"
Xu Sanlang's concubine Rong called out tenderly from outside: "Sanlang, Sanlang! Come out quickly! It's dangerous in there!"
The concubine's voice made Xu Sanlang calm down a little. He hammered the pillar and gritted his teeth: "Send someone to chase them immediately!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "boom" and several pieces of broken tiles fell from above and hit Xu Sanlang on the head!
Xu Sanlang groaned and fell down!
Rong screamed and quickly asked someone to carry Xu Sanlang out.
Just as they were in a panic, someone outside came to report: "The city is in chaos now! I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that Taoist Qingyun has calculated that Ruyang City will face a great disaster! It means that the city will be breached tomorrow, and everyone will be killed!"
Xu Sanlang had just recovered a little, but when he heard this, he sat up with his head covered, "Bullshit! The Spark Army is still far away! There are still three cities away from Ruyang! How can they make it! Go call Taoist Qingyun!"
Taoist Qingyun is the Taoist temple where Xu Yun and his mother cultivated themselves.
He also has a very good relationship with Xu Sanlang.
Xu Sanlang's feeling now is that not only is there a thief in his family, but his best friend also stabbed him in the back!
After all, this rumor couldn't have come out of nowhere! That old liar Qingyun must have said something!
However, what Xu Sanlang didn't know was that this was exactly the great gift Xu Yun gave to him and Qingyun - Xu Sanlang was an unkind father, and Qingyun, as a cultivator, treated them harshly. In the Taoist temple, they didn't even care about the food supply. They needed Xie Wanqing to spin and weave every day, and Hongyu to farm the vegetable garden, to barely fill their stomachs!
With two people like this, how could Xu Yun not leave them a little "surprise" reward?
Of course, another advantage of doing this is that Xu Sanlang will have less manpower to hunt them down.
As for whether the people believed the rumor and whether they would take precautions - that was not something Xu Yun considered.
In troubled times, she had a hard time taking care of herself, so how could she dare to meddle in other people's affairs? Just letting out a little wind was already the limit.
No matter how much more, she couldn't do anything.
Ruyang City was relatively stable after all, so Xu Yun and his three companions headed northwards and finally reached the jurisdiction of Anqing City on the third day. However, they also encountered the first crisis of their trip.
The carriage broke down and it was getting dark soon, so they estimated that they would be stranded on the official road tonight.
Xu Yun's heart sank.
She was not afraid of spending the night outside. She had not stayed at a hostel for the past three days, and she did not dare to stay at an inn, but... she was afraid of the people around her.
