As soon as Ke Shuisheng finished speaking, everyone became panicked.

"The world is not going to be in chaos again, is it?" An elderly man became frightened when he heard about the officers and soldiers. I can't stand the toss.

Hearing this, the old man's son hurriedly scolded: "Father, you can't talk nonsense, you will be beheaded!"

Seeing that everyone was fidgeting, Ke Hanxue hurriedly comforted her: "Don't guess randomly, they are just looking for someone, and nothing serious will happen."

"That's right, the officers and soldiers took a portrait of a person for us to identify. I think those officers and soldiers will leave if they find that person, but for safety's sake, it's better not to go to town during this time." Ke Shuisheng also spoke out to appease everyone.

After hearing the words of Ke Shuisheng's father and daughter, everyone calmed down a little, but then they became curious again: "Who are those officers and soldiers looking for?"

"I don't know, I didn't dare to look at the portrait, but I guess it's not someone we recognize." Ke Shuisheng said.

Ke Hanxue's eyes flashed, she glanced at her father, and then pursed her lips tightly. Fortunately, her father didn't look at the portrait, otherwise he might not be so calm.

"It's true." Everyone agreed with Ke Shuisheng's words. They were all honest people, how could they recognize the person who was involved with the government?
The folks in the village had just dispersed, and a carriage was parked outside Ke's house. When Ke Hanxue saw it, her heart skipped a beat, because she recognized that the carriage belonged to a restaurant.

The carriage hadn't come to a complete stop yet, and the little girl who took her to the intersection yesterday jumped out of the carriage in a panic holding a box.

"Little brother, is there something wrong with the restaurant?" Ke Hanxue went up to meet her and asked in a panic.

"Miss Xue'er, pack up your things and take your family and escape." Xiaoer said in panic, stuffing the wooden box into Ke Hanxue's arms.

"Why are we running away?" Ke Hanxue asked nervously, what does it matter to them?

Ke Shuisheng and the others also looked at Xiao Er anxiously, not understanding what Xiao Er meant.

"Miss Xue'er, the shopkeeper has been arrested! This box was given to me by the shopkeeper before he was arrested. He said that if he was arrested, he would give this to you. There is a letter and a bank note in it. The shopkeeper also told you to go to Qingzhou to find it. Mr. Ge." Xiao Er almost burst into tears.

"What?! What are they doing with the shopkeeper?" Ke Hanxue asked in disbelief.

"I'm not sure about this either, Miss Xue'er, pack your things quickly, I don't know if those officers and soldiers will find this place, you can only be truly safe if you leave here." Xiaoer urged.

"What... what's going on here?" Ke Shuisheng asked in a panic, why did those officers and soldiers arrest the shopkeeper of the restaurant?What does this have to do with their family?
Ke Hanxue gritted her teeth and said, "Father, don't talk so much, grandma, mother, hurry up and get away."

Ke Shuisheng thought for a while, and told Kong Dafu: "Dafu, go and tell your second uncle and third aunt to let them go with us!"

If this matter is really related to their family, the second and third bedrooms will also be implicated if they stay here.

"Father, I'm going now."

Just as the family was packing up, Tongsuoniang came over again. When she heard that they were leaving Shuihe Village, Tongsuoniang became worried.

If this matter has something to do with Ke Shuisheng's family, will they be implicated?They only have one son, Tongsuo. If something happened, wouldn't their family be ruined?

After discussing with Tongsuo's father, they decided to let Tongsuo and his wife go with them.

"Auntie, this matter has nothing to do with you. My sister-in-law is about to give birth and she wants to follow us. What if something happens?" Ke Hanxue looked at the brass lock whose belly was about the size of her sister's. Daughter-in-law, said worriedly.

"Xue'er, there are two official words. Even if there is no reason, they want to kill the whole village, and we can't stop them. The child in your sister-in-law's belly is the only blood of our family. We have to leave here with you. Only then can you feel at ease." Tongsuo Niang said with a sigh.

"Xue'er, don't worry, I will take good care of my wife and won't cause you any trouble." Although Tongsuo is worried about his parents, but for the sake of his children, he can only follow Ke Shuisheng and others to leave Shuihe Village , Wait for the wind to pass, and then come back with his wife and children.

"If there is any trouble, don't bother. Since you have all made a decision, let's go together." Ke Shuisheng pondered.

What Tongsuo Niang said is correct, the people don't fight with the officials, that's what they said, didn't they break the law, didn't they want to escape?
"Tongsuo, Tongsuo's daughter-in-law, then you go and clean up and leave." Ke Zhongshi also said.

Ke Hanxue thought for a while, and said to Tongsuo's parents: "Uncle Shi Zhu, I will give you the keys to my house later, and you can move our rice to your house first."

"Yes, move these chickens, ducks and some valuable things first." Ke Shuisheng also said, also worried that those officers and soldiers would rob things if they couldn't find anyone. These things could be worth a lot of money!
"Row!"

Ke Hanxue went back to the room and took two silver tickets, and asked Tongsuo Dad to help send them to Dakeng Village, and asked her grandfather and uncle to go out to avoid the limelight, because she was afraid that the officers and soldiers would go again if they could not find them. Find the mother's natal family.

After the family packed up their things, the waiter in the restaurant helped them carry their burdens and two quilts into the car, and carried a few bags of milled rice, and some food, telling them that they were going to take the mountain road.

"Second brother, you should leave quickly too." Ke Hanxue urged worriedly.

"I will stay at your house for the time being. If those officers and soldiers come to your door, I can still stand up for a while."

"No, you will be in danger!" Ke Hanxue frowned.

"Miss Xue'er, leave me alone, hurry up, you still have a big family with you!" Xiaoer urged again.

Ke Hanxue hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Little brother, then you have to take care, and you must leave immediately if you see something wrong!"

"Miss Xue'er, don't worry about me, let's go."

Ke Hanxue glanced at Xiao Er gratefully, turned around and got on the bullock cart...

Several families brought so many things that they crowded into two ox carts.

They listened to Xiaoer's words and walked along the path by the mountain without daring to stop.

Before dark, Ke Shuisheng stopped the ox cart, looked around and saw that there were no people near the mountain, so he said to everyone: "It should be safe here, let's take a rest and eat something."

There was no time to make other meals just now, so I just boiled all the eggs at home. Ke Zhong took out the eggs and distributed two to everyone.
