Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 16

Of course, Tao Qiqi's reaction was the same when she saw the guards.

After waiting in line for a long time, Tao Qiqi left the pharmacy after buying all the commonly used medicines, paid the silver, and took the medicines.

Tao Qiqi, who planned to take a small road out of the city, just walked out of the big alley and was about to cross the small alley, when the guards were waiting for him in front.

The guard bowed to Tao Qiqi respectfully and saluted, and said, "My lord, my lord welcomes you!"

Tao Qiqi heard the words, looked around, and found no one, said: "Lead the way!"

Since the other party is waiting for her here, instead of wasting time asking here and there, she might as well just go and ask herself.

Then Tao Qiqi followed the man's guards around the street and came to a small courtyard on West Street.

The two entered the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and the guard said: "My son is waiting for you in the main room."

After Tao Qiqi heard this, she went straight to the main room, where the man and the lady were both inside.

Seeing Tao Qiqi's arrival, Madam quickly stood up and prepared to pour tea for Tao Qiqi.

Seeing this, Tao Qiqi said: "Ma'am, don't bother me, I'm not thirsty. My family is still waiting for me outside the city. If you have anything to do, please tell me."

Hearing this, the man gently opened the box on the table.

Seeing that there was actually a box of silver inside, Tao Qiqi was puzzled, and asked, "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"

Man: "Young Master and his family are fleeing, but going to the south?"

Tao Qiqi: "Get to the point!"

"Okay, one look at the young master and you can tell that he is a cheerful person. I have a heartfelt request. I would like to ask the young master to help escort my mother to Nanguan. Once there, the young master only needs to hand over my mother to a man named Jiang Dong. . This money should be considered as hard work for the young master."

"If I hadn't lost my memory, I remember that we had only met once, and had spoken only a handful of words. You just handed your mother over to a stranger like this? Aren't you afraid that I would abandon her halfway? Or maybe Use her in exchange for more silver?"

"You won't." The man replied without hesitation.

"So confident."

"No, it's not self-confidence, it's belief. I believe that a person who dared to sacrifice his life many times to save others would never do such unrighteous things."

After Tao Qiqi heard this, she looked at the man.

The man continued: "Since the young master doesn't want others to know, we naturally won't say anything more. Just relying on the young master to save his life many times, I will trust you. I can rest assured that my mother will be handed over to the young master."

"Then you are not afraid that I am sent by your enemy? I will approach you deliberately, gain your trust, and then let you fall into a trap step by step?"

The man replied: "You are not, aren't you? If you are one of theirs, why would they bother to go to such great lengths to get close to me if they have men as skilled as you? It would be easier to just let you take action."

Tao Qiqi nodded: "Although this is the truth, there is another point. How can you be sure that I will definitely agree to you? You know, the little money you gave is not enough for me to take the whole family on an adventure all the way. Escorted."

"I'm not sure you will agree to this, but I have to give it a try. What if you agree? And my mother has already told me about last night. The young master didn't know that he was in the carriage before he rescued me. The person is my mother. This is enough to confirm that the young master is kind-hearted and will never see the people being oppressed."

"It's not impossible for me to agree. You answer a few questions for me first, and then I'll think about it."

"Okay, if you can answer, I will tell you everything." The man agreed without hesitation.

"The first question, why are those people trying so hard to kill you?" Tao Qiqi asked.

The man replied: "For power!"

"Second question, are you staying this time, but are you planning to return to Du'an?"

Hearing this question, the man looked at Tao Qiqi, thought for a while and replied: "That's right."

"Then you are not afraid of leaving forever? What will your mother do in the future?"

"If the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, how can they feel at ease?"

After listening to the man's answer, Tao Qiqi nodded, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I have agreed to your request. But what I agreed to was not to escort your wife to Nanguan for you, but to promise you to accompany you. Your mother is waiting for you here, and I will leave when you return victorious."

Tao Qiqi was not worried about the danger on the road, nor did she dislike too little money.She just understands that as a mother, she is worried about her son's heart.

After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, the eyes of the madam standing aside instantly turned red, and she said three words in a choked voice: "Thank you!"

Looking at Madam's expression, Tao Qiqi raised her lips and said, "It just so happened that I took my family to escape from the drought for nearly half a month. It's good to come to the city to rest."

Man: "Young master, don't worry, I will let someone arrange everything here. You just need to bring your family to live here."

"Okay, but my family is still out of town, so I need to pick them up first."

"Okay." The man nodded.

Then Tao Qiqi left the courtyard and went straight to the city gate.

After Tao Qiqi left, the man said to his guard: "Chang Ning, go and clean up the room. Chang Wu, go buy some rice, flour, grain and oil and come back."

"Yes, young master." Chang Wu responded and walked out of the yard, heading straight to the grain store.

After Tao Qiqi met with Tao Qiniang and the others here, he briefly told everyone about the matter, and the group drove the carriage into the city again.

Back in the yard just now, Chang Wu, who happened to go out to buy rice, flour, grain and oil, also came back.

Seeing this, the man said to Chang Wu: "Chang Wu, you and Chang Ning move the young master and his family's luggage to the room."

Just as Chang Wu was about to respond, he suddenly thought of something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Man: "What's the matter, tell me."

Chang Wu slowly said: "That's it, how should we arrange the rooms? There are only four rooms in the courtyard. Now we have occupied three and only one is left. If we arrange the young master and his two brothers to live with us, Then we have five people in the room, where can we stay?"

After hearing this, the man said without thinking: "Then let the young master live in the same room with me!! You and Chang Ning clean up the woodshed and sleep in the woodshed!"

"No!!" Tao Qiqi, Tao Qiniang, and Fang Yu vetoed directly with one voice.

The voices of the three people startled everyone present.

Chang Wu misunderstood what the three of them meant, and was so moved that he said foolishly, "Haha—it's okay, Chang Ning and I will tidy up the firewood house, and we can deal with it overnight."

Tao Qiqi hurriedly explained: "No, that's not what we mean. What I mean is, I, I don't worry about my mother, I share a room with them, and I, I just sleep on the floor."

As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Ma Daha Zhao Hu continued: "Yes, it's not like they haven't slept together before. The three of them usually sleep in the same carriage."

Halfway through Zhao Hu's words, Tao Qiqi hit him with a knife. In the end, his fearful voice became smaller and smaller, but he still finished his words completely.

The yard is only so big, the man and his guard naturally listened to every word.

At this time, if the eyes can kill, Zhao Hu may have died thousands of times.

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Chang Wu and Chang Ning were dumbfounded in surprise.

The man naturally mistakenly thought that Tao Qiqi and Fang Yu were a couple, so there was only a moment of disappointment on his face, and then he said: "Okay, let the young master share a room with his mother. The other two sons share a room."
