Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 140 The Refugees Attack (2)
"Yeah." Zheng Jinxiao responded, and all the torches in their hands were extinguished.

"Master, I know that there is a yard nearby where sundries are kept. The land is a bit out of the way, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Why don't we go and hide there first?" Xu Yi said in a low voice.

There was a lot of noise all around, and there were clansmen fleeing in all directions, trying to disperse them from time to time, but with the efforts of Zheng Jinxiao and Xu Yi, this protective circle always kept Zheng Ruo and Zheng Yuanyi in the middle.

At this moment, Zheng Ruo's heart felt warm and his nose sore.In the last life, although there was no misfortune of being a refugee, at this time, her father and brother had already left her. At that time, she was inexplicably sad, and married Shi Yue during the filial period according to her father's request.There was no joy of being a newlywed at all. During those days, in my own memory, there was grief or grief.I hate Shi Yue, not only pity her, but also do such embarrassing things to her according to her temperament...

Thinking of this, she looked at Shi Yue's eyes, like the ancient sky, with an endless desolation... When Shi Yue met him accidentally, his face froze for a moment, but his heart trembled.

Zheng Ruo withdrew his gaze and sneered in the dark night.Involuntarily tightening Father's hand, as if sensing her uneasiness, Zheng Yuanyi shook it back to comfort his daughter.Asked Xu Yi in a low voice, "Does anyone else know the place you mentioned?"

Xu Yi replied, "I stumbled across it by accident, and no one knew about it."

Only then did Zheng Yuanyi nod his head, and said to everyone in a low voice, "It's too chaotic now, fleeing with the clansmen together, I'm afraid it's easier to attract refugees. Why don't we just go to the abandoned courtyard that Xu Yi mentioned and avoid it. Although these refugees I have traveled to many places, but most of them grab one night and leave the next day. Let’s avoid this for a while and make plans tomorrow.”

Taking advantage of the darkness, taking advantage of the panic around, Zheng Ruoyi and the others, under the leadership of Xu Yi, went to a yard in a roundabout way.

The yard is small, with three low houses in the middle, and a mud house on each side. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is in a mess. Because of the severe drought, the yard is full of dead weeds.

After Ping Ruo and another servant entered the yard, they took a look around, then pushed open the door in the middle, and a burst of dust rushed in, causing several people to cough continuously.Zheng Ruo looked at it, and felt a bit more at ease. It seemed that what Xu Yi said was right. This place is remote, and no one should know about it.

Soon, Pingyu and the servants packed up and invited them in.A few people picked up a clean place and sat down casually, and Ping Ru and Xu Yi handed over the water bag.

Although I came out in a hurry, I didn't forget to wear water.Zheng Ruo is more and more appreciative of Xu Yi's ability to handle affairs.

In addition to Liu Xu, Ping Yu and Xu Yi, there were two other servants in the courtyard. In the panic just now, the two of them got lost. Along with them was the servant who had been protecting them just now. There is water and food in Zheng Ruo's small courtyard, and these three people are rare in the whole Zheng's mansion.Thinking of those three people guarding outside, Zheng Yuanyi felt at ease.

After taking a sip of water, he calmed down.

"I don't know what's going on outside." Zheng Yuanyi said worriedly.

"Father, should I ask someone to inquire about it?" Zheng Jinxiao took the water bag and took a small sip, heard his question, answered a sentence, and handed the water bag to Zheng Ruo.

Zheng Yuanyi thought for a while, finally shook his head, and said: "No need, you and I are both helpless scholars, even if we go, we won't be of much help, and it would be a shame to see you. It's not good to attract refugees. Sigh...now they can only manage their own affairs, I hope they can escape this calamity..."

Zheng Jinxiao also sighed.

If Zheng Ruo didn't speak up, don't talk about helping others before you don't have enough self-protection ability, I'm afraid it will still drag others down.

Zheng Ruo doesn't think that her father and brother are selfish, this is the experience and lessons she has learned after a lifetime, many people are far less kind than you imagine.Usually docile clansmen, friendly neighbors, in times of distress, in order to get a morsel of food, betray, frame, it is commonplace.She can understand, after all, it's all about living.However, in this life, she will not let herself and her family fall into that kind of situation where they are called incompetent every day.

Zheng Ruo felt that he was not the Bodhisattva who saved the world, but he was really worried about Zheng Yu.However, she lived beside the main courtyard, and came out in a hurry, and it was too late to bring her out.If her guess is correct, she should not be in any danger at this time.After all, she is still the daughter of the head of the family no matter what.

After the father and son each said a word, there was no sound in the room.There were some extremely miserable voices coming from outside intermittently, which made the men feel terrified.Liu Xu knelt and sat behind Zheng Ruo, her body trembling involuntarily.The heart that I had been holding up just now was a little more relaxed at this moment.But the intermittent crying outside made her feel scared.Shi Yue even lowered his head and sat in the innermost part of the room, as if this was the safest way.He shrank in the shadows. Although he had never seen a refugee riot in his more than ten years of life, he had seen the ruthlessness of his own people when they killed people, and he understood that those farmers who were originally kind-hearted, under the instigation of some caring people, died In front of food and water, you will become a vicious gangster!As soon as he entered the house, he chose this place, because there were not only a few bundles of firewood next to him to hide, but also a wooden window at the back, so that if someone rushed in, he could escape immediately.

Zheng Ruo, who understood his intention, just gave him a cold look, took a small sip of water, and calmed down his mind.She had already experienced such a scene in her previous life, and she did not expect to review it so soon after her rebirth in this life.

It wasn't until the outside voices gradually became quieter that the people present felt relieved.

"Light up the torch..." Zheng Yuanyi said.

As soon as Xu heard about it, he lit the torch. Zheng Yuanyi saw that although his children were a little embarrassed, they were still calm, especially his daughter, who did not cry as expected.A sister-in-law at this age is really rare.Seeing Shi Yue huddled in a corner, he frowned. At first, he felt that he was too petty, inferior to his own daughter.When I saw his true intentions, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.He actually only thought of running away by himself...
