After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 12 Shaken (Revised)
Haijiao looked at Haitang's eyes looking at him seriously, and his mind went blank.

Why?Why does the little sister know this? !

Haitang didn't give in, time was running out, and the Hu army would attack the city at some unknown time. Sun Yonglu's men seemed to have found out about the Hai family. It was too inefficient to pretend to be naive and ignorant now, and to roundaboutly inquire about information from his brother.She didn't have so much time to spare, so she simply pointed it out to him directly: "As soon as I closed my eyes that night, you suddenly woke up, and your expression looked so scary. I was worried that you were possessed by some monster, and you were so scared that you only dared to pretend. Sleep. Later, you carried a lantern and came closer to look at me, and hugged me and cried, etc. Then I felt that you should still be my brother..."

Haijiao wiped his face vigorously, but his mind was still a little confused.He was extremely annoyed. Why was he so careless yesterday when he was reborn?Didn't you notice that the little girl was pretending to sleep? !If before his rebirth, he had been able to survive as a spy for Jin Yiwei for more than ten years, how could any person pretending to be asleep be able to hide this from him? !
Haitang continued: "At first I thought you had some kind of nightmare, dreaming that I was dead. But then when I saw you talking and acting, it didn't look like you were just dreaming about something. You said yourself that you were alive again. It's back to the past. Although it sounds ridiculous, you are my brother, and I have no reason not to believe you."

The reef gradually calmed down.Although this was not the scene he expected, it wasn't too bad since it was his biological sister who knew his secret.Only a child like my little sister would believe such ridiculous things, right?If it were his grandparents, they would probably just think that he was talking in his sleep.

He took a deep breath and tried to struggle again: "How do you know... I didn't dream about something?"

"When people dream, they can only dream about things and people they have seen." Haitang said, "You have never seen that businessman named Sun, how could you see him in your dream?"

Hai Jiao was startled: "Businessman named Sun? Who?"

"That's the smiling businessman who pestered grandpa yesterday when our family entered the city." Haitang tilted her head and said, "That must be the person that cousin Xie suspected of being a spy, right? It is said that this person is very similar to Sun Yonglu. It was because he complained in front of Sun Yonglu that there were Hu spies among our group of immigrants from Guazhou, so Sun Yonglu blocked the city gate, making it impossible for our family to enter the city for several days."

"What?" Hai Jiao was a little confused, "My cousin thinks that person is a spy? How did he find out?!"

This is a long story.Haitang told her elder brother the conversation between Xie Wenzai and Cao and Lu that she overheard last night: "I think what my cousin said is very reasonable. This businessman named Sun is indeed suspicious. When I entered the city yesterday, I Seeing him pestering his grandfather, Uncle Liu drove away the soldier who was originally responsible for registering into the city. The soldier turned around to look for him and guessed that he must be the businessman who had the favor of Sun Yonglu. Brother, you saw this man at that time , his face changed. I don’t think grandpa even recognizes someone, how can you recognize him, brother? But if you have lived a lifetime and know what bad things he has done in the future, it would not be surprising to recognize him. "

She approached her brother and lowered her voice: "Is this person a spy? You said that Suzhou City was destroyed... was this person the cause?"

Hai Jiao never expected that the Xie family's cousin had discovered the true identity of this spy first, but... why didn't he tell the border army in his previous life?Why did you allow this man to attract the Hu army and attack Suzhou City?
He felt depressed and uncomfortable, and wanted to ask why, but no one could answer him at this time.He really didn't know how to react other than staying silent.

Haitang didn't feel disappointed when she saw that Hai Jiao didn't answer.It was impossible for a young man in ancient times to calm down so quickly when he was suddenly reborn, let alone being exposed by his relatives in front of him?

When the little brother didn't answer, she took the initiative to continue the topic: "Uncle Xie felt that this person was probably going to target Sun Yonglu, and was worried that there would be problems in Guancheng. He and his grandfather told yesterday about this matter. I don’t know if Mr. Liu has told the generals. Regardless of whether Uncle Xie’s speculation is correct or not, it’s always good to be on guard. It’s best to find a reason to arrest the person directly, so as not to worry about him. What the hell happened?"

Haitang deliberately showed an innocent expression: "Brother, don't worry. As long as the generals catch this spy, the barbarian army will not come!" Hai Jiao smiled bitterly: "You think too simply. A spy is nothing. ? What's more, this is not the only spy. If the border army catches him, there will be other accomplices who will continue to do bad things. We still can't escape this disaster. "

He took a deep breath: "Little sister, now that you know that your brother has come back to life, you should trust that he will not lie to you. This war is inevitable. If you don't want our whole family to die under the cavalry of the barbarians, , we have to leave Suzhou City tomorrow at the latest! We can go to Gaotaisuo, which is only [-] miles away from Ganzhou. It can be reached in one day by riding a fast horse, and only takes three or four days by car! We are there , we will be safe.”

Haitang tilted her head and said, "We can't all ride on horseback. Xiaoshi Shitou is still sick, and I was born short. Even you, brother, can't ride a big horse for a whole day, right?"

Only then did Hai Jiao remember that he was just a boy now. Maybe he would become a good equestrian in ten years, but now... he really wasn't good enough yet.

But he refused to give up: "As long as we stay away from Suzhou City. The barbarian army is coming towards Suzhou City. As long as we leave here, nothing will happen."

Haitang shook his head: "I have long heard how powerful the Hu people's cavalry is. For them, traveling dozens of miles is a blink of an eye. Even if our family leaves Suzhou, they will chase us in less than a day. Coming up. How do you know that after they conquer Suzhou, they won't attack Gaotaisuo or other villages?"

Of course Haijiao knows.After all, he is a man who has lived two lifetimes.Nothing will happen to Gaotaishuo, but... I really can't say for sure in other villages.

Haijiao hesitated to speak, but did not dare to confirm.He knew that it was impossible for the Hai family to reach Gaotaisuo in one day. So if they met an army of barbarians while spending the night in a village along the way... wouldn't that be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Could it be that... isn't fleeing Suzhou a good way to avoid disaster?

Seeing the change in Haijiao's expression, Haitang knew that his determination had been shaken, and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "When will the barbarian army come? Guancheng didn't notice their whereabouts, did they warn Suzhou City? The people in the city The generals have been guarding the border for many years and are used to beating the barbarians. There is no reason for them to be so negligent and let the barbarian army break into the city, right? Did something happen? "

"I don't know what happened to the border troops." Hai Jiao frowned, "I only know that many people died in this battle. In my previous life, I was kidnapped by barbarians and worked as a horse slave for three years. My life was miserable every day. Death... I finally found a chance to escape, but there was no one I knew in the city, and even this house was occupied by strangers."

He has no nostalgia for this former home because when he came here in his previous life, he was severely beaten and thrown out by the new owner of the house.From that day on, this home was no longer his home.

Haitang thought for a while: "If this is the case, it proves that there is something wrong with Guancheng. The Suzhou defenders did not notice the enemy attack at all, otherwise they would not have been able to easily let the barbarians break into the city. Let's tell my grandfather and cousin about this. Uncle, ask them to tell the generals to be more careful, won’t the city be destroyed?”

Hai Jiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
