midnight.

The town of Longtan was completely silent, except for the occasional barking of a dog, embellishing this sultry summer night.

Without a breath of wind, stuffy people can't breathe!

Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes in a hurry, hooves raised and neighing, and they stopped at the gate of the county government office.

A figure quickly jumped off the horse, stumbled forward and knocked on the gate of the county government office, as if there was something urgent.

After a while, the door opened, and the sleepy-eyed gatekeeper hurriedly let him in when he saw the person coming.

In the wing room in the backyard, the candlelight lit up immediately, and the shadows of people shuttled back and forth!

Xu Yuanqi's face turned serious after hearing the report from the visitor. Because of the establishment of the imperial court and the establishment of the chief, there was a lot of noise about the establishment of the chief, so that the eldest son of the emperor, Nalan Yunxuan, rebelled at the border in the past, and the rebels went straight to the capital to support Nalan Yunxuan.

What's more important is that they took the waterway, which means that Yuzhou City is their only place to pass!

"My lord, the rebel army will go all the way north, and they will reach Yuzhou City in a day or two, and their first foothold must be Qianjiao Island. If they capture Qianjiao Island, they may come ashore!" Master Wu looked at Xu Yuanqi nervously, my God, the good times are coming to an end, if there is a war, then the people will be in dire straits, alas!

"Master Wu, send an order that all the three coastal villages retreat to the town, and no one is allowed to live within five miles along the coast. Now go and inform the folks in each village, and go immediately." Xu Yuanqi thought for a moment, and ordered.

"Yes!" Master Wu wiped off his sweat and hurried out.

"Guard Li!"

"Yes!" A guard beside him stood up in response.

"Decree that the Jingxin Teahouse will be closed tomorrow. It will be replaced with a porridge shed. All the people who have evacuated to the town will go there to eat. You are fully responsible for this matter!"

"Yes!" Guard Li stepped back in response.

"Wang Guard!"

"Have!"

"Take all the tents in the warehouse to the open space of the Town God's Temple and let them rest there. You are solely responsible for this matter!"

"Yes!"

Wang Huwei took the order to retreat.

"The others quickly followed me to the various fishing villages to urge the people to evacuate safely!" Xu Yuanqi said as he hurried out the door, still resolute!

In the dark night.The rushing sound of the gong rattled over Longtan Village, which made people tremble!

Chicken crowing, dog barking, one after another.

Sleepy-eyed people were woken up in the middle of the night, full of curses!

For something, they beat gongs and drums in the middle of the night.House on fire?

The sound of the gong continued persistently, mixed with Zhao Shun's urgent cry: "Everyone, come out and assemble, it's urgent, it's urgent!"

"What's the matter!" Mrs. Yang got up and lit the lamp, put on her clothes and got off the kang, "Is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow. Really!"

"I'll go out and have a look first!" Xiao Jingzhi hurriedly got up and dressed, and hurried out.

not for a while.The lights of every house were turned on, and in the alley, the sound of doors opening came one after another.

There was a buzz of voices in the street.

The gong stopped now!

When Lin Xueman heard the sound of the gong, she also hurriedly got up and dressed, pushed open the small wooden door, and entered the old house.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Qing also got up, sitting on the kang of the old house at a loss.Sleepy eyes!

"Could it be that something happened at sea?" Yang looked at Lin Xueman tremblingly, "Cheng Yu has been gone for half a month, right?"

"Yeah. It's been half a month." Lin Xueman was flustered when she heard this. Could it be that something happened to Qianjiao Island?

Will not!

If something happened to Qianjiao Island, then it wouldn't be a mess here, would it?

"Mother, don't make random guesses, it makes us feel flustered, why do you always blame my third brother whenever you have something to do?" Xiao Yun yawned.

"Your third brother is alone outside the house, it's always worrying!" Sitting on the edge of the kang, Yang sighed softly.

Just as he was talking, Xiao Jing walked in with a solemn face, looked at them, and said: "The border guards rebelled, and they passed Yuzhou by water. Master Xu is afraid that our place will be harmed, so he decided to block the coast for five miles and let us temporarily evacuate." To the town, have avoided the war."

"Ah?" The people in the room were surprised in unison.

"Okay, don't delay any more, hurry up and pack your bags and get ready to go!" Xiao Jingzhi said in a deep voice, "Master Xu requested that all be evacuated to the town before dawn."

The room suddenly became chaotic!

The whole Longtan Village was in chaos, with cries, complaints, and curses all over the place!

Unexpectedly, there will be a war, alas!

It's really unpredictable, and people have misfortunes and blessings!

Lin Xueman also returned to the house with a heavy heart, opened the cabinet, and began to pack the clothes. By the way, he also packed a few of Xiao Chengyu's clothes. Maybe he will be back soon!

She walked into the east room, got on the kang, opened the secret compartment, took out the bank note given by the boss of Deshun Building, and sewed it inside her clothes for emergencies.

I stuffed all the money in the house into that hidden compartment, it is indeed a good place to put money there!

She just carried some broken silver on her body!

Moved all the small fishes that were drying at home to the house and put them away!

Thinking of those chickens, I have encountered difficulties. I don’t know how many days it will take to go. If it takes a day or two, it’s okay. If it takes a long time, wouldn’t it be starving to death!

After thinking about it, she simply dumped all the fish meal in the corner into the wooden shed at the door, and then released all the chickens in the chicken coop. If the war is chaotic, let's all run for their lives!

The streets are already in chaos!

People are holding big bags and small bags in their hands, crying sadly, how did this happen?

There are also those who are unwilling to leave, crying and crying, which makes people anxious!

A carriage stopped in front of everyone at the right time.

Xu Yuanqi walked down, smiled at everyone, and said: "Fathers, folks, don't panic, we will be back soon, maybe they won't go ashore at all, but I can't bet on everyone's life, I can only ask everyone to evacuate to the town temporarily, don't worry. Everything in the town has been arranged, and I will never let everyone be wronged."

"Master Xu, we are leaving, but what about our chickens and ducks?" Someone asked in the crowd.

"That's right"

"This? Rest assured, I will find a solution for everyone." Xu Yuanqi obviously didn't think about this problem, he frowned and said again. "Now, everyone's first priority is to evacuate to the town as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he gave a wink to a guard beside him!

"Everyone, don't mess around, follow me!" The guard waved at the crowd.

People with big and small bags in their hands, with their children and children, followed behind the man with heavy expressions.Reluctantly left the village!

Everyone looked back from time to time, with tears in their eyes, comforting each other...

When the disaster comes, everyone cherishes each other, no grievances, no conflicts.All reconciled, for now.The most important thing is to live well and pass this level!

The Xiao family walked behind the crowd, helping each other with their burdens!

The men were holding their children, and the women were carrying their bundles, silently following behind the crowd.

After leaving the village entrance, Lin Xueman reluctantly looked back at the dilapidated village, full of reluctance.She carried the bundle in one hand, and held Qiaoling's hand in the other.walk among the crowd.

"Third aunt, what should third uncle do if he can't find us when he comes back?" Qiaoling raised her face and looked at her.

"Your third uncle will definitely find us when he comes back. He knows we are in the town." Lin Xueman looked back again, feeling sore in his heart. This place is in chaos, so Qianjiao Island will definitely not be peaceful. If they landed on the shore, it means that Thousand Reef Island has been looted long ago...

At this time, Xiao Chengyu and Zhongyihou were encircling and suppressing the pirates there, didn't they happen to hand in hand to them?

God!Lin Xueman didn't dare to think about it anymore, her legs suddenly felt heavy like lead. She held Qiaoling's little hand and walked forward with a blank expression.

She looked up at Lady Xu and Xu Yougui in the crowd, envious in her heart, but at the same time, she blamed herself a little, if she insisted on keeping him, maybe he wouldn't leave, right?

The carriage behind him greeted him unhurriedly.

Xu Yuanqi lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the family, and said to Xiao Jingzhi: "Master, let's all get in the car! Let's go to town together!"

"No, we'll be there in a while!" Xiao Jingzhi waved his hand, "If you can leave, so can we. You are busy with your work, don't worry about us, let's go!"

Xu Yuanqi shook his head, glanced at Lin Xueman calmly, put down the car curtain, and left in the dust.

When we arrived in town, it was already dawn!

The open space next to the Town God's Temple has already been filled with tents. The formerly lively temple fair site has become a place for people to take refuge.

Under the command of the guard, everyone rushed into the tent to rest.

The tent is naturally a big tent, the kind that can accommodate more than a dozen people. The Xiao family occupied one, and everyone got into the tent. The Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai families each occupied a corner, and the Yang family and Lin Xueman The two sisters Xiao Yun huddled together, and Xiao Jingzhi sat alone in another corner to rest!

There was a lot of noise in the open space!

The people who had been tossing for most of the night didn't feel sleepy at all, and they talked about the war in one go, with lingering fears in their hearts!

Before you know it, it's dawn!

People got out of the tent again, and under the guidance of the guards, they went to Jingxin Teahouse to have breakfast, making a lot of noise.

The Xiao family did not go, but went to Qingyun Congee Shop.

When Shunzi came to town in the morning, she was stunned by everything in the open space. After seeing Lin Xueman, she realized the whole story and was very surprised. Unexpectedly, it was because of the war!

Fortunately, there is this porridge shop, otherwise I can only go to the teahouse to queue up to get the porridge, how can I be so comfortable here?

Shen Shi and Yu Shi were very satisfied with this, and they were also full of gratitude to Lin Xueman. They all rolled up their sleeves and started working in the shop. It was better than staying in a tent. Besides, they were also embarrassed. The land is here for free, so I have to help and do something, so I can feel at ease!

Although the coast is blocked for five miles, the town is still as usual. Except for those people living in tents in the open space, what should everyone else do? The school is still open, and the restaurant is still open, nothing unusual can be seen.

On Qianjiao Island, there is still mist and mist, but the difference is that the prosperity of the past has disappeared, the streets and alleys are empty, and everything looks like a war is coming...
