Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 232 Going down the mountain into the city
Time passed quickly as they talked, and in a short time the two of them arrived in front of the thatched house.

"Auntie, you go up the mountain alone. I will take the brothers to send the herbs to my eldest brother. If you have anything to do in the mountain, you can talk to us in the mountain." Zhu Er said this and thanked him again.

"By the way, you have already captured Zhuangjun, so when can we go down the mountain? When does the second master think it is appropriate for us to enter the city?" The conditions in the mountain were there, and Ke Muqing said truthfully, "It doesn't matter if young people spend their time in the mountain. , but my parents are old, and their bodies may not be able to bear it if they stay in the high mountains and fog for a long time.”

What's more, you can only live in tents in the mountains, which is really a test for the elderly's health.

Zhu Er thought for a while and said, "Madam, is it okay for you to wait in the mountains for two or three days? In another two or three days, it will be almost stable. At that time, madam, you can go to the city to find an inn to stay, or madam, you can go to Fucheng to find one. My eldest brother, let me take you to stay at Prince Zhuang’s Mansion for a few days.”

"There's no point in staying in the palace." Ke Muqing smiled and shook his head, "Then we will go down the mountain in two or three days. If you, second master, have any news in the past few days, please call your brothers in the mountain to let us know."

After speaking, Ke Muqing handed the horse over to the people at Weiwu Mountain to look after it, and then he took his own things up the mountain.

Ke Muqing didn't go down the mountain for three days in a row. The girl's family did some sewing, mending, washing, and steaming. The children followed Yang Yi and the others in boxing and martial arts in the morning, and studied with Ke Huanzhang in the afternoon.

The day seems to have slowed down all of a sudden. The most boring person is probably Ke Muqing, the most idle person.

She didn't have to cook the meals or wash the clothes. When she had nothing to do, she wandered around the village wherever she could with her hands behind her back. Within two or three days, everyone in the village became familiar with her.

Just when Ke Muqing couldn't sit still and planned to go down the mountain to visit a nearby city the next day, Zhu Er came back and brought a letter from the boss to Ke Muqing and gave it to her.

He told her another news, "Auntie, Miss Lu is back. She went into the city to find an inn to stay. The Li family can go down the mountain to reunite with Miss Lu early tomorrow morning."

"By the way, aunt, you can go down the mountain too. Everyone in the city and county government has been replaced by the eldest brother. The entire Zhuang County is now under our control, and Zhuang County is stable." Zhu Er was particularly proud, "I Brother is a capable person, there is nothing he wants to do but cannot do.”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Er complained, "I thought we could raise some food by taking Zhuang County, but I didn't expect that the granaries in various places were empty. Rats had to slide out when they got in. They asked the government officials to move them back to their homes." ”

"My eldest brother and his men ransacked many official houses, but the amount of food they collected was not as much as expected. I have been counting the number of refugees staying outside the city in the past two days. I was shocked to find that there are tens of thousands."

This is still a group that has starved to death and a group that has left.

"Big brother said that we can't ignore them, so tomorrow we will give porridge to the people outside the city, and organize doctors to treat the refugees, and separate the sick refugees from the healthy ones. So in the past few days, the eldest brother has also ordered people to ride overnight outside the city. Thatched shed." Zhu Er scratched his head and said, "Taking Zhuang County will make my brother and the others too busy to come back."

"Since this is the case, since you have become the new owners of Zhuang County, you must take on the people's livelihood of Zhuang County. This is a right and a responsibility." Ke Muqing sighed, so if you don't have the ability to govern the country, Guan will fight. Useless.

"Auntie is right," Zhu Er agreed deeply, "those refugees are who we used to be."

"In this way, I will go down the mountain tomorrow to urge my friend and ask him if he can get me some more food." Ke Muqing said, "If you still have any shortage, please make a list for me and I will give it to you." Go and ask my friend if you can get it in exchange." "Thank you so much, ma'am!" Zhu Er was overjoyed, and he was not polite at all. "I know that there is a shortage of food, herbs, and cloth and clothes. Some of the refugees' clothes are in tatters. It's really unsightly to be naked. It's cold today and I still lack winter clothes. As for what else I'm missing, I'll write to my eldest brother and tell my aunt."

Ke Muqing nodded in agreement and waved his hand to let Zhu Er go about his business first.

After Ke Muqing returned, he first went to tell Mrs. Li and his party that Mrs. Li San had entered the city, and then went home to tell his family about going down the mountain tomorrow.

As soon as they heard that they could go down the mountain and play in the city, a group of children rushed over and hugged Ke Muqing, shouting excitedly.

Because they were thinking about going to the city, a group of children took the initiative to go into the tent and lie down to sleep without being urged by adults.

For them, if they go to bed early, they can wake up early tomorrow morning. Only if they sleep enough can they have the energy to play tomorrow.

After breakfast the next morning, Ke Muqing went down the mountain with all the exiled prisoners who had not been left in Weiwu Mountain.

Only then did Ke Muqing realize that these prisoners were blindfolded when going up and down the mountain. They were not allowed to untie and open their eyes until they had walked far away from the foot of the mountain.

Wang Jianzhong and others, except Yin Tang, all stayed in Weiwu Mountain and became new members of Weiwu Mountain.

In order to facilitate management, no women or children under the age of ten are allowed in Weiwu Mountain. When these people leave the mountain, people from Weiwu Mountain will send them to the city for the county government to settle them.

Zhu Er wants to take people into the city, so go faster. Ke Muqing and the others have to lead the carriage to pack things, so they have to go slower. Zhu Er gives Ke Muqing a token and takes the people away first.

The Yang family had a lot of things. After the carriage arrived, everyone spent a lot of time packing their things. The children got on the carriage and shouted to go to the city. Not to mention how excited they were.

"What are you thinking?" Ke Xiucai asked Ke Muqing standing outside the carriage, "Should we stay in the city for a few days? Or should we continue south? Or go to Zhuangjun Fucheng?"

"Go ahead and stay in the city for two days." Ke Muqing said. "The boss told me in the letter yesterday that when we get off the mountain, we should not let anyone know that we are related to Weiwu Mountain. Let us enter the city as ordinary passers-by."

What Yang Erzhu and the others are doing is to exterminate the ten clans, and they are not yet sure of it, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

If there is any eventuality, if Yang Erzhu and the others are defeated, if people know that Ke Muqing and his party have a good relationship with Weiwu Mountain, Yang Erzhu is afraid of implicate Ke Muqing and the others.

But now Ke Muqing wants to stay and leave more things for Yang Erzhu, so she is not in a hurry to leave Zhuang County. It is most convenient to stay in the city closest to Weiwu Mountain.

After packing up, a group of people set off towards the city. The children were anxious to get into the city and kept urging them all the way, so Yang Yi and the others drove the horses faster.
