After entering the main room, Lin Momo quickly packed Shiguang's bags without saying a word.

While busy at work, her eyes welled up with tears.

Shiguang hugged his wife from behind as she stood by the bed, head down, tying a bundle. "Momo, don't worry, I'll be fine."

“You can’t escape now. Once you’re out of the city, find an opportunity and run away with Li Yong.” This was the only way Lin Momo could think of to get away. “Then don’t go back to town, go straight into the mountains, and we can be together again.”

"If you're not very confident of escaping, don't force it. The consequences of being caught as a deserter are very serious. It's better to stay inside for now. Once you've settled down, remember to send a letter home to let me know where you are."

"Okay. I will definitely send you letters from time to time in the future."

He had just rejected Zhu Rui's invitation to join the army in a letter yesterday, but unexpectedly, he embarked on the path of military service in this way today.

It seems utterly absurd no matter how you look at it.

Time was short, so Lin quickly picked out the important things to say, then grasped the hand of Time, focused her mind, and mobilized her thoughts to move things into the space of Time.

She moved everything she could think of that could be used in time.

First, there are various cooked foods, dried goods, charcoal, camping cooking utensils for outdoor use, and items such as clothing and shoes.

Secondly, regarding weapons, aside from keeping two or three items for self-defense, all the other cold and hot weapons were given to Shiguang, as well as night-vision telescopes, compasses, and solar-powered flashlights.

Finally, there are various medicines, such as various ancient and modern knife wound medicines, gauze, bandages, insurance pills collected from Yunnan Baiyao, cold and fever medicines, and various Chinese medicinal herbs, and so on.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Momo gave Shi Guang another mule cart.

The mule was taken from Qian Jiashun, and the cart was built by Shiguang himself.

The two had stored up some good wood, which had been dried to a near-complete state. Shi Guang thought about making something himself, starting with a simple stool, and eventually successfully replicated a car.

......

Lin Momo's space was almost half empty. Then she put half of the rice and grain from the Qian family into her own space, thinking to herself that the task of helping the people had fallen on her shoulders again.

She can no longer be a hands-off manager.

The remaining half of the grain was reserved for future needs.

The worst thing in war is insufficient logistical support. How can you win a war if you're hungry?

However, this should be a matter for the military commander to consider.

While a common soldier might not need these rations, it's essential to prepare them for him. As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than not; these are things that can save lives and are valuable currency everywhere.

Speaking of hard currency, Lin Momo suddenly slapped her forehead. She had been so busy that she had completely forgotten to prepare some gold and silver for Shi Guang.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to travel far from home, but difficult to travel even in a short time."

When traveling, one must bring enough money. So he put in a box of gold, two boxes of silver, and two large baskets of copper coins.

In addition, Shiguang was given a wooden box containing twenty silver notes, each worth one hundred taels.

Lin Momo was extremely grateful that she had given the space to Shi Guang last night, otherwise she would have been completely at a loss today.

The burden is for show, for others to see; the real money is safest kept in a safe space.

Time, sensing the earth-shattering changes in space, was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Mo Mo, you've prepared way too much, haven't you?"

They even thought of mule carts, and there were so many gold and silver items, and a large quantity of grain...

The words were few but the feelings were deep. The couple were still reluctantly saying goodbye when the soldiers ahead began urging them to leave.

"Mo Mo, if you can't think of a proper solution right away, just leave the food for now. Your safety must come first."

I was busy tinkering with my online space last night, and I haven't thought of a reliable method yet.

"good!"

Lin Momo readily agreed and handed the bundle in her hand to Shi Guang, "Tomorrow morning, Uncle Li and I will go to the outskirts of the city to see you off!"

Shiguang took the bag, hugged his wife tightly for a while, and then left without looking back.

The tears she had just stopped instantly fell again. Lin Momo chased after him into the courtyard and just witnessed Shi Guang's figure disappear outside the second gate.

*

With two people suddenly missing from the house, neither the master nor the servant felt like eating.

Lin silently grieved for a while in her room, then remembered that she had to deliver Shiguang early the next morning. She wondered if she had forgotten anything among the things she had prepared, and decided to make up for it tomorrow.

"Young Madam, the person who delivered the letter to the young master the other day has come to pick up the reply!" Uncle Li called out from under the window.

Lin Momo had forgotten about this.

Shi Guang has connections in the military, so it might be worth asking Zhu Rui to take care of him. It's just unclear whether the two of them are under the same general.

The prevailing opinion now is to suppress the rebels, but the imperial court has gradually lost control over the local areas. The local princes and generals are also not behaving themselves, acting independently, fighting against each other, and constantly expanding their own territories.

They might end up as enemies in the future.

However, these are all just her guesses. She believes that one should always look on the bright side for a good outcome.

It would be better to write a letter and ask. Perhaps Zhu Rui's army is nearby, and this conscription is for them.

Lin instructed Uncle Li to serve the man tea in the front yard, then quietly got up and went to the study to write a letter.

*

The messenger had actually arrived when the soldiers came to the door, but he hid to the side and watched coldly until they left before showing himself.

Those whom Zhu Rui sent to deliver the message were naturally people he trusted, and they were also aware of the purpose of this mission.

When Shi Guang was conscripted into the army, the messenger not only did not step in to help him out, but was secretly delighted. Joining the army was good. No matter how the young master's friend enlisted, as long as this young master Shi Guang entered the military camp, his mission would be accomplished, and it would not matter whether he received a reply or not.

Since he's already here, he should at least show his face. Besides, he already said he was coming to collect the letter today, so it wouldn't be good to break his promise and leave people waiting in vain.

Unexpectedly, I actually received a reply.

Although he wanted to return immediately to report the good news to his master, he didn't mind waiting a little longer. If he could bring back a letter, that would be the icing on the cake. If his master was pleased, he might even be rewarded with a few more taels of silver.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this trip was worthwhile.

In a quarter of an hour, Li Dashan handed the messenger a freshly printed letter, along with twenty taels of silver for travel expenses and a small bag of dry rations.

Finally, they politely saw the person out the door.

The messenger left with the letter and silver in his pocket, overjoyed.

He never expected that the matriarch of the Shi family would be so generous and thoughtful, even preparing dry rations for him. He felt more respect and goodwill towards the young master Shi.
