This tower was newly built recently. It was blown up by Chu Chenyin when Lieutenant General He was here.
When Mr. Xu heard the sound, he quickly looked up at the city wall.
He was surprised to see Fu Yanting, and then said happily: "General Fu! It turned out to be General Fu!"
Fu Yanting looked down when he heard the voice, and after seeing who it was, he was a little surprised.
This old man Xu used to be from Xujiabao. He worked for the owner of Xubao two years ago. Later, he was exploited by the owner of Xubao and was about to lose his family. It was Fu Yanting who helped him and brought him out of Xujiabao.
That’s how he got to where he is today.
When Fu Yanting saw that it was an acquaintance, he and Chu Chenyin opened the city gate.
When Mr. Xu saw Fu Yanting, he burst into tears.
"General, I never thought I'd see you again in my lifetime! Now that we're in Dacheng, there's not a single good piece of land left."
When Fu Yanting saw the caravan members, he asked him, "Where is your wife?"
Old Master Xu said slowly, "My wife died of childbirth complications a year ago, and we are the only ones left in the mansion."
Fu Yanting looked at them again and found that they were indeed familiar faces who had followed Master Xu for many years.
They all looked skinny and pale, and it was estimated that they had walked here with only their last breath.
Fu Yanting sent someone to bring them in.
Old Master Xu looked at the scenery in the city, tears streaming down his face. He pinched himself from time to time. As his cheeks ached, he said happily, "This is not a dream! It's not a dream!"
The servants following behind also cried for joy.
Chu Chenyin brought some water for them to drink.
Mr. Xu took it in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and finally drank it in one gulp.
"This water is so sweet!"
Others followed suit and started drinking.
After they had rested, Fu Yanting asked them about the situation outside.
Now the entire Dayong Kingdom has basically become a desert, including the south.
The weather in the south is hotter than here, so the drought is more serious.
As Mr. Xu was talking, he suddenly remembered the emperor and Prime Minister Wan who were following them on the road.
In fact, he recognized them early on, but he had learned that they were going to kill the Fu family, so he felt disgusted with them and treated them as slaves.
"Your Majesty, have you seen him?" Fu Yanting asked.
Mr. Xu replied, "Yes, but later on, we couldn't afford to support them, so we left them in a nearby village."
Fu Yanting raised his head and looked into the distance. It seemed that they would meet again sooner or later.
Mr. Xu continued, "General, this is a really great place!"
Fu Yanting nodded and said, "We are lucky. We happened to dig out a water source here."
Mr. Xu sighed, "It's good enough to have a meal now."
As he spoke, he took out a cotton bag from his pocket and wrapped it tightly with ice silk cotton.
Chu Chenyin came over to look, "Master Xu, what is this?"
Mr. Xu opened the ice silk cotton and saw only tiny gray-black particles inside.
"They are silkworm eggs. My family used to be in the silkworm business, but now there is not much to take away after a disaster, so we only took these silkworm eggs with us."
Chu Chenyin saw this thing for the first time and was very curious, "Can these silkworm eggs be hatched?"
Mr. Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I have been wrapped in ice silk cotton all the way to avoid the scorching sun."
Chu Chenyin was delighted, "We just happened to have planted a few mulberry trees, so why not raise these silkworms?"
