On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 278 Mingzhou Prefecture

Xiao Xiao couldn't say that she was thinking about eating seafood, and that she came here to satisfy her appetite. Instead, she said righteously: "I was the one who came up with the idea of ​​​​this business. I will definitely have to make a few trips to feel at ease."

In fact, when she thought about the huge career she had now...to be honest, she wanted to just lie down and stop working hard.

But Mingzhou is indeed a good place. Not only does it have all kinds of seafood, but if you are desperate, you can also jump into the sea.

No, it’s going to sea.

Most people nowadays are afraid of the sea, as strong winds and waves can sweep everything away.

But the sea is very gentle most of the time, and there are countless delicious foods that can satisfy the common people.

If possible, Xiao Xiao also wanted to leave a way out for herself.

She doesn't have any particularly lofty dreams, and she doesn't want to travel around the world by boat. She just wants to hide at sea if she has nowhere to go. The boat will take ten and a half days to find another suitable land to land on.

Of course, she also understood that it was not easy to get such a good ship.

But we still have to have dreams, what if they come true?
Xiao Xiao also sincerely hopes that Lin Xuan's family members are still here. With their help in building bridges, he can cooperate with the merchants here and earn money first.

After all, my dream is very good, but I just want to spend money, and the little money I have now is not enough.

Lin Xuan felt that she understood something, and couldn't hide her excitement as she rushed over to hug her: "Thank you for taking the risk for me."

She is such a lazy person, but she takes her own affairs to heart and even comes with her.

In order not to make myself feel bad, I even made excuses.

But she knew that Xiao Xiao only left for herself.

Xiao Xiao didn't know why she had such a misunderstanding, but she was very willing to accept it. She hugged the beautiful woman and said, "What is our relationship? It's not like sisters are better than sisters."

Xiao Lian, who was chewing some fruit beside her, raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Hey, can you guys stop being so sensational?"

Xiao Xiao laughed: "Xuan'er, if you don't hug my second sister, my second sister will be jealous."

Lin Xuan let go of Xiao Xiao and went to hug Xiao Lian: "Thank you for accompanying me on this trip."

They had made a lot of preparations for this trip, but they didn't expect that during the seven days on the road, not only was the weather wonderful, it was also a smooth journey without any problems.

Lin Xuan's hometown is in Mingzhou, a small town near the sea.

It happened to be noon when they arrived in the town, but no restaurants on the streets were open, and even on the streets that were not very spacious, they saw few people.

Even if you see someone and want to go up to inquire, the other person will turn around and run away without a trace, as if he saw a ghost.

Everyone has some bad ideas in mind.

Lin Xuan was even more uneasy and murmured unconsciously: "It wasn't like this before. There were people guarding the gates of the city, and one penny was charged for carriages entering."

"And this is the main street and the busiest street. The restaurants should be packed with guests at this time..."

Xiao Xiao took her arm and whispered: "Don't panic, your family will be fine."

But in her heart she felt that what she said was nonsense.

Although there were no ruins after the war, she felt here as if she had encountered a war-torn year, with almost everyone running away.

When the carriage turned the corner, they saw many dilapidated houses and the ruins of roof beams that were dark after the fire.

Lin Xuan, with red eyes, drove the carriage home in person.

The Lin family used to be one of the best in the town. The third-level house was spacious and grand, so if there was a war or something, they would be the easiest to be targeted. Anyway, at this moment, the Lin family's house is in ruins.

Everyone can only imagine the grandeur of the Lin family from the ruins.

Lin Xuan didn't expect that she wanted to go home, but her home no longer existed.

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao Xiao looked around and found that the houses here were the most severely damaged. It could be said that he could not see any neat houses.

I don’t know how long it has been, but the wind blows and there are still some ashes floating in the air after the burning.

When she saw Xiao Lian accompanying Lin Xuan, she called her father to go to the side: "I'm afraid something happened to the Lin family."

Boss Xiao complained: "Something must have happened."

He sighed again: "Fortunately we came late, otherwise..."

Otherwise, my life will be in danger.

The wind blew over, and soot flew with it, followed by an unpleasant smell.

Boss Xiao suddenly opened his eyes wide to look, and saw the remains scattered on the ground together with the charred doors and windows from a distance.

He couldn't help but shiver and said immediately: "Let's go, hurry up..."

He finally knew why he didn't see a few living people. This was a dead city.

Boss Xiao is not afraid of death, and he has seen blood on his hands, but this does not mean that he is brave.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were sharper. She saw what Cheap Dad saw and what he didn't see. She immediately agreed: "Okay, hurry up and leave."

She went to persuade Lin Xuan: "Although something happened here, it is also possible that your family has got the news and ran away early. Do you think there are any in-laws or other houses nearby? Let's go look for it."

Anyway, she couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise she would worry about having nightmares.

I originally thought that when the rebels attacked the city and they were escaping, they encountered a group of rebels and it was bloody enough when both sides fought tooth and nail.

But now Xiao Xiao knew that although it was an era of cold weapons, it was even more cruel.

I also understand the meaning of the sentence "I would rather be a peace dog than run away from troubled people."

Lin Xuan also knew that it was useless to cry at the current situation, so she nodded immediately: "If we walk forward for two hours, we can reach the next town."

"My family originally had several properties in Liang'an Town..."

It's probably because the town was well-named, it was good and safe, and it actually escaped the military disaster ahead.

But it was probably because they were all unfamiliar. When they entered the city, they were all unfamiliar faces, and there were about twenty of them. They were stopped by the guards guarding the city gate. After carefully checking their Luyin household registration, they heard that they He wanted to buy seafood to sell, so his expression softened a little: "Then after you enter, walk along the left and you will see the inn. Go to the dental shop over there and ask about it, right?"

On the contrary, they welcomed these merchants.

When merchants come, they can have oil and water, and people can exchange a few coins to buy urgently needed supplies.

After entering the city, Boss Xiao saw that most of the shops on both sides of the street were open, and he was secretly relieved.

When they arrived at the inn, they asked for two connected Datong shops. The men would stay in one, and the three girls would stay in the other.

It's not that I'm reluctant to give up money, but it's safer to keep a low profile when I'm out and don't reveal my money.

The most important thing is that all the shops are on the first floor, making it easier to escape if something happens.
