Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 73 0073 Asking for directions

It was quiet and silent all the way.

Half an hour later, the coachman Li Lu saw a road sign with the words "Jinqiao Village" engraved on it and turned the carriage into the entrance of Jinqiao Village.

Next came Chen Qin’s guidance.

Jinqiao Village, east of the village, inside the Cheng family’s house.

Cheng Zongyang untied the sweatband tied around his forehead, wrung out a lot of sweat, and then tied it around his forehead again to absorb the sweat.

Looking at the almost clean house, Cheng Zongyang also sighed.

You don't know how many items you have at home until you move and sort them out. During the process, he even dismantled wooden boards from other people's homes and made some wooden boxes to store his items.

After a busy morning, Cheng Zongyang had managed to move everything in his home that could be moved and used into the wilderness.

"It's almost noon, and we still need to eat in the mountains. Let's go back first, and then go back to the village to see if there is anything we can use at Jin Fumin's and other people's homes."

He didn't mind that it was used by others. There were three families in the mountains and they needed a lot of things. It would be expensive to go to the county town to buy them, so they couldn't waste them.

He unbolted the door, opened it, and walked out, then turned around and closed it.

"Huh? Someone's here."

Just at this moment, two middle-aged men in tattered clothes who were passing by his house were attracted over.

Cheng Zongyang was alert and stood at the door without moving.

As the two people came over, Cheng Zongyang inexplicably felt a surge of momentum from them!
Musha!
At least an eighth-rank warrior!
Still two!

Cheng Zongyang was shocked.

Why is there a warrior here? And dressed like this?
"Excuse me, young man." Seeing Cheng Zongyang's nervous look, the two men smiled and said, "We are new here and wanted to ask for directions, but the village is empty. Did everyone go to the county, or flee?"

Cheng Zongyang had a sweatband tied on his forehead, and the other party might not have noticed that Cheng Zongyang was also a warrior.

"Everyone, you, you want to go to the county?" Cheng Zongyang looked frightened.

"Yes." Although the middle-aged man in the lead was a little slovenly, he still couldn't hide the aura emanating from him! I don't know how to describe it!

"Go out from the west entrance of the village and head north to reach the county town."

"Thank you, young man." The middle-aged man clasped his fists in thanks, then turned and left, ignoring the aura of the young farmer.

"Tap tap..."

A sound of horse hooves and a chaotic noise came from the west entrance of the village.

There was no one in the village at this time, and any slightly loud noise would be noticeable in the village.

Cheng Zongyang's expression froze: "The police are here?"

By this time, he estimated that the conscripts should have arrived. Even if they hadn't, it would be afternoon.

He didn't avoid it either. There was no one around. If the other party dared to act recklessly, he would kill him and throw him into the mountains. Who would know?
The carriage happened to pass by two middle-aged men who looked like beggars. Li Lu just glanced at them and ignored them.

A moment later, Cheng Zongyang saw a carriage heading towards his house.

The driver was indeed an official.

However, he saw his second aunt nearby.

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang frowned.

problem occurs!
He couldn't help but take off his sweatband and clenched his fists!

"Whoa..." Li Lu pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of Cheng Zongyang.

"Yang'er!"

Seeing her nephew Cheng Zongyang, Chen Qin's face lit up with joy. She quickly got off the carriage, then called the three children in the carriage down and took several bags down with her.

Li Lu also got off the carriage and looked at Cheng Zongyang.

He was of medium height, with a dark complexion, a handsome and childish face, but a strong body, a knife on his waist, and a faint murderous aura. Li Lu's expression became serious.

not simple!
As a result, when he saw the bulge in Cheng Zongyang's temple, his face froze!
——Those whose Qi and blood are full and whose acupoints are throbbing are martial artists of the first grade!
This boy is a warrior!
Li Lu was surprised!

He looks like a teenager, right?
"Could he be a disciple of the county martial arts school?" Li Lu guessed in his heart. But he looked like that!
Cheng Zongyang also looked at Li Lu, but seeing that he was not a warrior, he did not care and shifted his gaze to where his second aunt and cousins ​​were.

"Second Aunt, what happened?" Cheng Zongyang walked up.

"Let's go in first. Are your parents here?" Chen Qin said immediately.

However, Cheng Zongyang pushed open the door and revealed the empty house, then said, "We've moved."

Chen Qin's face froze, and she asked in shock: "Why is it so sudden?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and just looked at Li Lu behind his second aunt.

Seeing this, Chen Qin immediately understood and said:
"His name is Li Lu, and he is a county yamen runner. This time I asked him to help take us out of the city. If it weren't for his help, the three of us would never have been able to come to the village."

As she spoke, she apologized to Li Lu behind her: "Brother Li, can we talk alone for a few words?"

Li Lu smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'll wait outside first. You can come out after you finish your work here."

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Cheng Zongyang smiled in response.

Li Lu nodded, got on the carriage, and turned towards the village entrance.

"Yang'er, what's going on?" Chen Qin asked.

But Cheng Zongyang asked seriously, "We'll talk about this later. What happened in the county? Where's my second uncle?"

Chen Qin then explained the whole story.

Finally, he said, "So, I plan to send your brothers and sisters to live here for a while to prevent them from contracting the disease. This will also make it easier to deal with your second uncle's affairs.

As for Li Lu, they were just helping each other out of fear that they would get sick and no one would save them. "

When Chen Qin saw that Li Lu did his job conscientiously even without asking for money, she understood his purpose.

She didn't reject it, otherwise there would be no need for the other party to pay attention to her family.

After listening to his second aunt's story, Cheng Zongyang finally understood.

What he worried about finally happened!
plague!

His mind couldn't help but recall seeing some people suffering from vomiting and diarrhea outside the county town.

It seems that the government is suppressing it but just not making it public.

Next, Cheng Zongyang briefly explained what happened here and said:
"So, if you want to live now, you can only go to the mountains, which are very secluded. You don't have to worry about safety."

"However, Second Uncle's matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. So, Second Aunt, you go back to the city with Li Lu first, then pack up your belongings at home and prepare to leave the county. I will go into the city in the afternoon."

Chen Qin quickly responded, "I have no objection to leaving the county, but what about your second uncle? Li Lu said that he couldn't even contact your second uncle because he was being watched by the higher-ups."

Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment and said:

"Let's take it one step at a time. I'll contact Li Lu later. I'll take care of Second Uncle's affairs."

"Okay." Chen Qin didn't say much. She had no other choice at this time.

The abilities and ways of doing things that this nephew has demonstrated since he was a child are no different from those of adults, and he does things in a way that makes people feel at ease.

Next, Cheng Zongyang asked his second aunt to go back to the city first, and he took his cousins ​​back to the mountains.

On the way, the three brothers and sisters were silent.

They didn't understand why their uncle's family moved to the mountains, but their mother told them to stay at their uncle's house for the time being, so they had no choice but to follow.

Even Cheng Zongyan knew that something was wrong and lay quietly on her cousin's back.

When we arrived at the place, we saw a bustling scene with everyone cleaning the place and processing wood.

When Cheng Zongyang came back, everyone was surprised to find that he brought three children with him.
