The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 200

"Why do you have to investigate? And why do you have to go by yourself! It's too dangerous!"

He Tao disagreed with Fu Shi's decision. She even felt that Fu Shi was too individualistic and heroic, just like the male protagonists in those Hollywood blockbusters she had seen in her previous life. Carry it on your shoulders!It doesn't matter if she is selfish or indifferent, it's better to kill others than to die herself!
Fu Shi could only patiently explain the reason: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, just listen to me and get angry, right?"

He Tao braced his waist and stared at him: "Okay, tell me."

"If Changmao is repelled by our troops, he will definitely pass by here and never come back. We can go down the mountain tomorrow and live in our own home. The conditions in the mountain are not good, so we can avoid it for a while, but we can't. Have you been living here? If Daqi’s army can’t defeat Changmao, if like last time, the entire Shunan Mansion is occupied by Changmao, last time it was occupied for three years, this time it is occupied I don’t know how many years it will be, one month or two months is okay, we can temporarily hide in the mountains, if three years, ten years, or even in the future, here will always be Changmao who has the final say... Changmao is cruel by nature, we can’t Living on their territory, I have to figure it out, and only when I understand it will I know what we should do next." Fu Shi finished his worries in one breath, and then asked: "Daughter-in-law, think about it, if you grow hair If we occupy this place, shall we hide in the mountains for the rest of our lives like the Qingshan people?"

He Tao shook her head, Changmao was like a Japanese devil in her heart, she didn't want to be ruled by Changmao, and she didn't want to become a forest native like Qingshan people.

Fu Shidao: "So I have to figure it out... If Da Qi wins, let's go down the mountain and go home; if Chang Mao wins, we'll move immediately, to the mainland!"

He Tao agreed with the necessity of the investigation, but she still disagreed with Fu Shi going by himself. However, without Fu Shi explaining this, she could understand why he had to go, because he was the only one who had this experience. Jushiwei is his apprentice, and he is still an apprentice who has not been a master, and the rest of them, such as Fu Lei, Fu Chao, etc., are useless even if they go.

He Tao said unwillingly, "Why don't we just move out..."

In the past, she always thought that Rongshu Village was pretty good, it could almost be regarded as a paradise, but who knew it was actually a war-prone area!
Fu Shi looked at her helplessly, as if she was an ignorant doll.

He Tao hates the customs of Daqi people to death. It is hard to leave the homeland and the fallen leaves return to their roots. Moving is like going to half-life.She remembered that Hu Yiming, the seller who sold Daoxiang Village back then, was a different kind. He was willing to sell his ancestral house in order to go to another place. Why couldn't Fu Shi be like Hu Yiming?

He Tao stared at him again, Fu Shi looked at her with a good temper, but he didn't mean to compromise at all.

He Tao finally understood that her insistence was meaningless when Fu Shi felt that she was right, so she simply saved each other's efforts, and nodded despite her reluctance.

"Okay, you go, but you must remember that you must not have any accidents!"

Fu Shi assured: "I'm sure I'll be back in full swing. I'm there to check the news, not to fight the enemy on the battlefield."

At night, the temperature in the cave became lower, and each of the women got a simple stove like He Tao's to keep warm, and the men simply spent the night around the fire.The next morning, Fu Quan, who was the oldest, caught the cold, and He Tao couldn't help worrying more about the twins, and eagerly looking forward to returning to his home sooner.

After breakfast, Fu Shi took a dagger and dry food, said goodbye to He Tao, and set off to inquire about news.

He first went back to his own home, where everything was normal, not even a single pig was missing in the backyard.He found an old dress at home, deliberately cut it into tatters with scissors, and set off.He can't ride a horse, because riding a horse is too eye-catching, and he will be spotted by the leprosy on the road, so he can only walk.It was not far from Rongshu Village to Liushu Town, that is, about ten miles. Fu Shi traveled quickly, even if he took a detour, he arrived at the town within an hour.

The situation in the town is the same as that of Rongshu Village. Rongshu Village was spared, but the town was almost demolished.The doors of every house were closed—if there were still doors, there was a suppressed cry from the house, and there was no one on the street, and there were still blood stains and even organ residues on both sides of the street.

Fu Shi was sure immediately that what the "sentry" saw must be Changmao's troops, and Changmao had robbed Liushu Town.

At this time, he thought of his "future son-in-law" - Huang Yaonan!
The Huang family is the leading wealthy family in Liushu Town, and they are rich and unkind. Fu Shi believed that as long as Chang Mao asked, many people would be willing to point out the whereabouts of the Huang family, and the little fat man didn't know what to do.

Fu Shi strode towards the direction of Huang's house. The foot-high threshold that usually blocked many people was removed, and the door was opened. There were many potholes on the iron-wrapped door panel.Fu Shi walked in unimpeded, and he didn't see a single person along the way, to be precise, he saw even a living person, but there were more than a dozen dead bodies.Fu Shi saw at a glance that none of them matched Huang Yaonan's figure. The more he walked in, the more he felt depressed. Maybe the next moment he saw Huang Yaonan fell to the ground.

The Huang family's house has five entrances. In addition to the main courtyard, there are many cross courtyards on both sides of the central axis. Fu Shi walked from the gate to the last entrance, but he did not see a living person, and there was no Huang Yaonan in the body.

Living to see people and dying to see corpses, Fu Shi could only assume that he might have escaped from the house like them.

Just as Fu Shi was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a child crying, short and abrupt, and then disappeared.Fu Shi remembered what Huang Yaonan said, his eldest brother, Uncle Huang, had a daughter who was the same age as the twins. Could it be that child's voice just now?
The child is only two years old, and she is not sensible, so she will definitely not stop crying by herself, there should be someone else with her.Why didn't that man let her cry? Wasn't he afraid that her voice would attract others?
Fu Shi thought for a while, and tentatively called out: "Xianhui!"

"Uncle!"

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a crying response, it was Huang Yaonan!
"Little Fatty!" Fu Shi called out again.

A chubby body squeezed out from the gap of the rockery not far away, it was Huang Yaonan.He saw people he knew so excitedly that he forgot for a moment that he was on a rockery one meter above the ground, and when he got excited, he fell from the top and fell like a dog eating shit.

"Master!" It was another old acquaintance, butler Huang's head was exposed from the gap in the rockery, and he asked anxiously, "Master, are you alright?"

"It's okay!" Huang Yaonan didn't care about the pain, he got up and ran towards Fu Shi who was walking quickly, and when he passed, he hugged Fu Shi and burst into tears: "Uncle, my father is dead, and my elder brother is also dead." Yes, my sister-in-law is dead too, all of them are dead..."

Fu Shi patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, Long Mao has left, it's okay..."

After crying enough, Huang Yaonan intermittently talked about what happened yesterday. All he knew was that Changmao suddenly appeared at home and killed everyone he saw. killed.He was lucky to survive, he happened to be watching Huang Xianhui at Aunt Zhou's place.Aunt Zhou lived in a remote place, so Steward Huang had time to tell him to hide.They hid in the house first, but Butler Huang said that Changmao was just grabbing things, food, gold and silver, as long as they didn't go out, they would be fine.Sure enough, Changmao came and left quickly. They emptied the Huang family's granary and took away all valuables.

However, Huang Yaonan's enemies were not only Chang Mao, but the minions who survived after Chang Mao left.When he came out of the hiding place, he happened to see Huang Yaozu's long follower stripping off the clothes and ornaments from Huang Yaozu's body, and next to him was his sister-in-law who had been stripped to nothing but obscene clothes.

He rushed forward to fight the long follower, but was beaten so hard by the long follower that he couldn't get up. The long follower strangled him and asked him to tell where the house and land deeds were kept. He didn't want to say it, not because he didn't want to part with those things. But I don't want to give things to this kind of people!At the critical moment of life and death, Butler Huang saved him.

Butler Huang knocked the long suit unconscious with a bench, then dragged him to hide again.He didn't know if there were a few servants in the house who had the same idea as the long follower, they didn't dare to hide in the house, and they were afraid of encountering long hair when they went out, so they had to hide under the rockery in the garden.

Huang Yaonan lost all his relatives except his little niece overnight, half of his three souls and seven souls were gone. After talking about this intermittently, he begged: "Uncle, can I go live with you? I'm afraid..."

How could Fu Shi refuse him, he immediately agreed.It's just that he still needs to investigate the situation, and he can't bring the three of them back to Rongshu Village immediately. He can only let them stay here temporarily, and come back to pick them up after he investigates clearly.

Fu Shi followed the trail of the brigade and left Liushu Town, and came to another town that Changmao had passed by before coming here. The first household in that town was also looted, and it was the same in the previous town.After walking for a day, Fu Shi could only be sure of one thing. The goal of the captain was only supplies, especially food, and he couldn't draw any conclusions.

In this special period, the merchants and shopkeepers who pass the news between towns are hiding at home. If they want to know more information, they can only rely on him to check all the way.

But if the investigation continues like this, it will take more than a day. After some consideration, he decided to go back to Liushu Town and bring Huang Yaonan and the others back to Rongshu Village, and wait a few days before coming out to check the news.

Before leaving Huang's house, Fu Shi helped Huang Yaonan to collect the bodies of Huang Dahu and others, and buried them in the back garden of the house, waiting for the future to be peaceful before burying them in Huang's family's ancestral grave.

Huang Yaonan also found the land deed and house deed of his family, and followed Fu Shi to Rongshu Village with all his wealth, his only relative, and his only servant. They were all handed over to He Tao for safekeeping, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Fu Shi didn't get any useful conclusions after one investigation. Everyone in the Great Wasteland still lived in the cave and continued to seek refuge. This stay lasted for five days.

After that, Fu Shi went down the mountain for the second time to check the news, and learned that several other wealthy households in the town had also been looted. Fu Shi was now sure that Changmao had already occupied this area.

The opinion of the family is divided into two factions. The moderate group is represented by He Tao, who believes that they should continue to live in the shelter. The representative of the optimistic group is Fu Lei. It was Fu Quan. He felt that the house at the foot of the mountain was convenient for moving in and out, and they could hide in any time without fear of long hairs.

The realistic Fu Shi proposed to continue the investigation before making a decision. In the end, his opinion prevailed, and he went down the mountain again three days later.The people from Rong's family on the opposite side had already gone home. After seeing Fu Shi, Mrs. Rong told him that someone came to look for him yesterday.

"It's like the military master. He is quite polite, but I don't know what they are talking about. I didn't dare to tell them where you are. I only said that you have taken refuge and don't know when you will come back."

Army Lord?Fu Shi frowned. He knew many "Military Masters", but they were all in the border town thousands of miles away, and he didn't know any of them locally.

"How many are they? What are they like?"

Mrs. Cheng thought for a while and said, "A dozen of them are all riding big horses and wearing black armor, which is very majestic. Oh, by the way, they all have lion heads on their clothes..."

Fu Shi felt that this was the happiest news he had received in the past three months. According to Granny Rong's description, these people should be He Yuanyuan's personal guards!As a general stationed on one side, He Yuanyuan cannot leave the station casually, he can only be sent by the court.
