Chapter 3 Escape Route
"Sister-in-law, are you going to the county seat?"

Mrs. Zhang saw two large panniers hanging on the horse's back, and there seemed to be something in the panniers.

Lin Chaoyan responded, and went to unload the horse's pannier, and handed the pannier containing grain to sister-in-law Cheng, "Sister-in-law, these are some grains I bought in the county."

"Food is too expensive, I can only buy this with my money."

Her mother is old, and these things of the Lin family were handed over to the elder sister-in-law ten years ago, the eldest daughter-in-law!
Cheng took a look at the basket and found that there were salt, sugar, rice, noodles, and two large pieces of bacon. She said, "A lot. Now that food prices are so expensive, it's pretty good to buy these."

In recent years, there have been natural disasters in their place, and the price of food is one price per day, which is very expensive!
"Sister-in-law, if you didn't buy this horse, you might be able to buy more food." Xu still couldn't help but interjected.

She didn't understand why sister-in-law bought this horse?
Lin Chaoyan smiled, "Sister-in-law, I didn't buy this horse, it was given to me by a friend in the capital."

Anyway, the Lin family didn't know the background and temperament of the original owner, so she was right to talk about it.

Besides, how could the original owner have the money to buy a horse?Not to mention buying a horse, you don't even have the money to buy a donkey.

The third sister-in-law of the original owner always thought that the original owner was very rich. Although she was mistaken and not the real daughter, she had lived in the general's mansion for more than ten years, so she could hide something even if it was a secret, right?
The truth is no, the original owner has a lot of backbone, and when he left, he didn't bring anything with him except for a few changes of clothes.

Mrs. Xu laughed dryly when she heard this, "That's right, my sister-in-law thought you bought it!"

Also, such a good horse, if you buy it, how much money will it cost!

Mrs. Xu also wanted to ask Lin Chaoyan some questions, for example, did your friends in the capital send you some silver, and what was in the small box on the back?
But before she could say anything, she was stopped by her sister-in-law Cheng's eyes.

Xu shut up obediently.

Lin Chaoyan didn't say anything else, and took out oilcloth and steamed buns wrapped in oiled paper from the other side of the basket, and handed them to the second sister-in-law Zhang, "I bought some buns and steamed buns in the county."

As soon as he heard that there were steamed buns to eat, Xiao Wulang couldn't bear it anymore, and shook his mother Xu's hand, "Mom, I want to eat steamed stuffed buns."

Saburo Shiro on the side couldn't help swallowing his saliva, steamed stuffed bun!They haven't eaten buns for a long time.

Lin Chaoyan touched Xiao Wulang's head, and said warmly, "Eat, I bought a lot, everyone has a share!"

It's amazing to say that she was an orphan in her previous life, and she had no other relatives except her master, but in this life, she has parents, brothers, sisters, and even nephews.

There are several, the oldest is 17 years old!
How wonderful!

"Okay, let your sister-in-law cook the rice, you and I go back to the house to pack your things, you should have seen the notice posted outside the city when you came back from the county seat?"

"We have to pack our things quickly, maybe we will leave soon." Mrs. Zhao dragged Lin Chaoyan into the house.

I heard from the head of Dahuai Village next door that the notice was posted by the county master three days ago. Although Yunshui County is far away from the border, about a month’s journey away, when marching and fighting, barbarians ride horses and walk on four legs. Can their two legs compare to barbarians?

They also blame themselves, because the distance from Shangshui Village to Yunshui County is long, the villagers generally don't go to Yunshui County, but go to the nearby Qingshi Town to buy things.

"Understood, mother." Lin Chaoyan responded, and Mrs. Zhao affectionately stroked her daughter's hair.

It has been half a month since her little girl came back, and her parents called her, but she didn't talk to them very much, so she locked herself in the room.

But today, when the little girl went to the county, she seemed to be a little different from before. She became more talkative and laughed.

I also bought a lot of food for the family!

It seems that the daughter accepts them from the bottom of her heart.

This is a good thing!

Zhao's brows stretched slightly!
Under the big apricot tree at the door, Lin Dayou was discussing the escape route with the villagers. When the barbarians were about to call, they would definitely not be able to take the official road, they had to take the small road.

Otherwise, the barbarians will soon catch up.

They planned to settle down in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is close to the capital. I heard that the weather is good all year round and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

"But, if the village head goes to Yuzhou, we won't bring enough food!" A man in the crowd asked quickly.

After several years of natural disasters, the crops in the fields failed, and everyone didn't have much food left.

I heard Sun Chongguang, the youngest son of the old Sun family, suggested: "Village chief, why don't you go to Yuzhou and go to Xuzhou, which is closer. Get there early and everyone will have a stutter, and prepare for the winter!"

It's already mid-August now, and if they walk on the road for a few more months, it will be winter, and they will freeze to death on the road before they reach their destination.

"That's right, Sun Xiucai is right! Let's go to Xuzhou."

"Our family doesn't have a lot of surplus food, and we can't go to Yuzhou. If we go to Xuzhou, we can."

"My home is too"

Some people in the crowd echoed Sun Chongguang's words and whispered underneath.

But the old man Lin on the stage was so angry that he said, "Go to Xuzhou? You are not afraid that the barbarians will hit Xuzhou. There is not enough food. We can take the mountain road. The wild vegetables and fruits in the forest of Yunwu Mountain are rich in wild vegetables and fruits, and we can save food. We will definitely be able to go to Yuzhou !"

"Village chief, are you going to take the mountain road? Enter Yunwu Mountain?" An old man in the village asked in shock with trembling hands!
Lin Da nodded, "Yes!"

The old man hurriedly said, "No, no! You can't enter the Yunwu Mountain. I heard from the older generation that there are man-eating mandrills, ghosts, wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountain. Once people enter, they can't get out!"

Yunwu Mountain is to the east of Qingshi Town, with peaks stretching for thousands of miles, deep forests in the mountains, secluded valleys, and towering ancient trees. According to the people near Yunwu Mountain, there will be bursts of strange noises in the forest of Yunwu Mountain every night!

Terrible!
Not to mention them, even the people near Yunwu Mountain dare not go in, let alone go through the forest of Yunwu Mountain.

"You can't enter Yunwu Mountain! Let's take a detour!"

"That's right, don't go to Yuzhou, the village chief, let's go to Xuzhou! It's close!"

The villagers at the gate were arguing endlessly, and their opinions were not unified, but Lin Chaoyan discovered a big event here!
"My dear, it's a whole 1000 taels of silver! There's also a map, the map is so detailed!"

Lin Chaoyan kissed a few banknotes fiercely, then put the banknotes into the space, and then carefully looked at the map in her hand. This map is a map of the Great Xia Kingdom. I don't know who made it. Anyway, the icons on it are very detailed!
A county, a town, and several villages in between, all mountains are clearly marked!

It's like navigating!
These two things were just now found in the wooden box where the original owner packed the clothes. There was actually a sandwich on the lid of the wooden box. When she opened it, she saw these two things inside.

This wooden box was used by her adoptive mother to store clothes when the original owner came back, and she thought of what the original owner told her when she came back, saying that if you can’t live in the country anymore, you can come to the capital to find your parents, and what to say She watched the box closely.

The original owner thought it was a polite remark, but she didn't expect what her adoptive mother said was true.

It puts money and maps at the same time. The adoptive mother of the original owner is so kind to her!Those who like this daughter from the bottom of their hearts, even if it's fake, still like it!It hurts to be a biological child!

No wonder the heroine hates the original owner so much, even though the original owner has never done anything to hurt her!

"Wait!" Lin Chaoyan looked at the word Xuzhou on the map, and suddenly remembered a big event!
