Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 17
Ma Min'er supported Ma Qifeng to leave on the front foot, and on the back foot, Jiecha Liu Tou led all the Jiechas to put out the fire. The soil was covered by sand, but the fire did not spread and was extinguished.

"What's going on?" Liu Cha yelled at everyone, "If I hadn't stayed in the fire patrol squad in the capital and knew how to put out fires, none of you guys would survive."

The head of the Ma family who was chained half-opened his eyes, and stood indifferently by the edge of the embers. Why didn't the fire start to burn? It would be great, great!

Not in the mood to rest anymore, Liu Cha shook his head and shouted impatiently: "On the road, on the road, and head to the city at noon tomorrow."

Hu Bingyong huddled in the crowd, looking a little embarrassed, but because of the weather, he was shirtless and did not attract the attention of others, except those who saw his scandal.

But who has the strength to take care of these nosy affairs, especially the government's nosy affairs, one after another, everyone followed the crowd and started on the road.

After the break, Hu Bingyong and others discovered that Ma Laoliu's family was missing, and hurriedly reported to Liu Tou.

"What's going on?" Liu Chatou stared fiercely at Hu Bingyong, knowing his dirty thoughts clearly, but who has no shortcoming, he kept turning a blind eye.

"Just...was it still there just now?" Hu Bingyong stammered back.

Liu Cha's mind can kill a fly, he glanced at him, waved his hand, and immediately two messengers stepped forward, "You go to Ma Liulang, catch him, and hand him over to the yamen, we will wait for you two at the yamen. "

"Yes, short."

Hu Bingyong and Zhang Eryi looked at each other, shouted at the crowd and set off.

Among the crowd, the old aunt of the Ma family scolded, "I knew that the sixth child is not a good person, look, I ran away!"

"Auntie, he ran away as soon as he escaped, why do you care so much?" Ma Qiguang carelessly added fuel to the fire.

"I've gone to live a good life, you suffer here..."

"Shut up!" Ma's old lady turned her head and shouted.

"husband……"

"To shut up!"

……

Ma Qiguang's mother and son stopped.

I almost searched all the refugees living in this area, but I couldn't find the Chen family. It's almost dawn!

"What... what should I do?" Guo Lishi's tears never stopped, but the child was lost in her hands, and her conscience was disturbed.

Ma Qifeng lost his soul, his mind was blank, his eyes were confused, his ears were deaf, like a walking dead, God, why did you treat me like this... why did you treat me like this?
"Father...Father..." Ma Sanlang tugged on his father's skirt with one hand, and kept wiping away his tears with the other.

Seeing that his father didn't respond, Ma Dalang squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, and kept digging his own head with his fingers. Exile, hunger, and loss of relatives made this 11-year-old boy feel sad and powerless prematurely.

Ma Min'er leaned against a tree and panted heavily, trying to calm down her breath, looking at Aunt Guo who kept crying, she said, "Aunt Guo, you are not to blame for this."

"Blame me, blame me, if I hug Siniang tightly, I'll be fine!"

Ma Min'er shook her head: "If I'm not wrong, the Chen family may have already planned on Yue'er."

"What..." Guo Li yelled, "How dare they?"

Ma Min'er snorted, "In the past two days, there have been a few more orphans around them, haven't you noticed?"

"I... I thought..." Mrs. Guo Li suddenly came to his senses, "Those who killed a thousand swords, I thought they were out of kindness and pulled those children. It turned out to be the idea."

It was getting slightly brighter, and Ma Min'er looked in the direction of Fucheng, "We're going to Fucheng, they get a few children to sell, and there will be money."

"Thousand knife killers, they have money, they survived, but what about the children?" Guo yelled.

"They don't care about this." Ma Min'er continued, "As for why they took Yue'er away, I'm afraid it's because Yue'er has a good appearance and can fetch a higher price than those orphans."

Not only the yelling Guo Lishi was stupefied by Ma Miner's words, but the teenagers were also frightened by her words, "Er...Er Niang, you...what did you say..."

Seeing two messengers approaching from a distance, Ma Min straightened up in fright, "Get out of here quickly!"

Guo Li said in a daze, "Would you like to find Si Niang?"

"Hurry up, if you don't leave, I really can't find my sister."

Several people followed Ma Min'er's gaze, and the messenger was looking for someone. Only then did Guo Lishi remember that the Ma family was an exile. If they were taken away, how would they go to look for Siniang? The son ran away.

Ma Dalang also pulled his father up and ran, asking as he ran, "Big sister, where are we going?"

"The Chen family must have gone to the city, and we will go to the city too."

Before turning our attention to Xing'an City, the capital city of Yizhou, let's talk about the ancient city gates. Generally speaking, there are three gates, one in the southeast and one in the west. Hey, why is there no north?The layout of a traditional city is facing south from the north. From the point of view of Feng Shui, opening the city gate in the north will vent the earth energy of the whole city.

But not necessarily, the gates of the larger ones such as the ancient city of Jinling and Beijing are innumerable, especially in Tokyo Menghualu, which records the gates of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yes, let's talk about looking for Xiaoyue'er.

As the refugees squeezed towards the city gate, among the three city gates, I don't know which one the Chen family left. She had to take everyone to find out.

"Er...Er Niang, this...what's wrong with this!"

Standing in the direction of the south city gate, left, east and right, the two city gates are about the same distance from the south city gate. If you really can't guess which city gate they entered through, then you can only inquire.

"Second Niang..."

"Big sister..."

……

The few people were at a loss, seeing Ma Miner moving forward, they followed along, followed the crowd, and walked for half an hour. When they reached the gate of the city, they thought she was entering the city with the crowd, but Ma Miner walked out of the crowd, stood aside, and watched People come and go without moving.

"Er Niang, don't you... enter the city gate?" Mrs. Guo Li asked puzzledly.

"Wait."

"Why?" Ma Dalang asked.

Ma Min'er pursed her chapped lips and did not answer.

The sun rose slowly, and shone hotly on the earth, which could dry people out. At the gate of the city, people came and went, and there was an endless stream. Ma Miner kept staring at the people who left the city, as if looking for something.

"Big sister, don't come in again..." Before Ma Dalang finished asking, his elder sister said, "Hello, uncle..."

The sleeve was gently pulled, and the middle-aged man turned his head in surprise, and was about to scold, but saw a child with an innocent face, and unknowingly frowned, "Little lady, this is..."

"Uncle, we go to the city to find relatives, but we don't know which city gate we should go?"

The middle-aged man frowned and frowned again: "I don't know where your relatives live?"

"That's right, uncle, this relative is the nephew of my father's distant uncle..."

"Stop, stop, little lady, you can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out even more."

"Uncle, my relative seems to be a rich official. Usually rich officials live by the city gate?"

"I know about this, Dongchengmen."

"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle."

Take refuge with relatives?Fearing that it was out of the question, the middle-aged man shook his head and left the city with the cattail fan in his hand!

"Big sister, do you mean that the Chen family wants to sell the younger sister to a rich family?"

"uncertain!"

"then you?"

"I'm just asking for an overview!" Ma Min'er looked around, and found that Xie Cha was wrapped in the crowd, she quickly shrunk her head and squeezed into the crowd leaving the city, and headed for the east gate.
