Seeing them like this, a hint of resentment flashed across Song Jiao'e's eyes.
The group soon set out on the road to escape the famine. Because the weather was too hot, they were all sweating after walking a short distance.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian sat on the ox cart, occasionally helping Gu Linbei to drive the cart.
Gu Linxuan sat next to him with a book.
"It's not good to read in the sun!"
Yu Nian turned sideways and took the book from Gu Linxuan's hand with a faint smile on her face.
When Gu Linxuan met the girl's bright eyes, his face turned red instantly.
"Oh, are you planning to take the imperial examination?"
Lu Yan held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and spoke in a very half-hearted manner.
Facing Lu Yan's joke, Gu Linxuan said seriously: "Yes, Fifth Sister-in-law."
He paused, his expression serious: "They say the capital is full of powerful people, and I also think our family needs someone to rely on."
In the past, Gu Linxuan never dared to think about taking part in the imperial examination.
But since Yu Nian came into his life, he had hope again.
According to Yu Nian's prediction, he would be able to stand up in another month. This was undoubtedly very good news for Gu Linxuan.
So, it’s not wrong to prepare in advance.
The journey was extremely tiring, and at this moment the old Gu family had just arrived at An County.
However, they had just reached the city gate tower.
Song Jiao'e saw a group of people standing there waving at them: "Jiao'e."
They are Mr. Song and Mrs. Song.
The two men were now dressed in thin clothes and looked panic-stricken.
When Song Jiao'e saw her parents like this, her heart skipped a beat. When she got closer, she noticed something strange.
The Song family didn't bring anything with them.
The food that was originally promised to the Gu family during their escape from famine was nowhere to be found.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on with you?" Song Jiao'e's lips trembled, and she couldn't even accept her current situation.
"An County... there's fighting in the north. If we hadn't escaped early..."
Mrs. Song was in a panic.
Now it is An County.
It was estimated that it would not be long before An County was captured. Therefore, the people in the city were now running out in a hurry.
Song Jiao'e's face turned grim, and she subconsciously asked, "Dad and Mom, where are your things? Where is the food?"
Yes, this is what the old Gu family cares about most.
After all, their warehouse is empty, and now they are waiting for help from the Song family.
"Don't mention it. Our warehouse is completely empty. Mom and Dad are relying on you for this journey."
Not to mention the warehouse.
Just last night, the entire Song family's belongings were gone. Even the sheets, blankets, and clothes that covered them when they slept...
All gone.
"Mom, what are you saying..."
Song Jiao'e has not yet recovered from the reality that her husband's house has been emptied out. When she heard that her things from her parents' home were also gone, her eyes widened.
"Our house was robbed last night. It must have been those refugees who came here to escape the famine... We wanted to report it to the authorities this morning, but wasn't there a fight going on in An County? There was nothing we could do..."
Mrs. Song's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.
But Mr. Song didn't say a word.
Song Jiao'e frowned and looked at Madam Song: "Mom, are you saying that the things in our house were stolen by the disaster victims?"
After she finished speaking, she shook her head: "Impossible, it must be Lu Yan."
"What a joke! We have lost everything from furniture to the big vat in the yard. No matter how powerful your sister-in-law is, she can't move so many things away in one night, right?" Mrs. Song rubbed her eyebrows, completely unaware that she and Mr. Song had been drugged yesterday.
But none of this matters.
Because at this moment, a large group of people came running over in a panic.
"Hurry, An County has been destroyed! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."
A group of people rushed out in a panic.
Song Jiao'e and her family turned pale, not knowing what to say. They were about to leave when a group of armored soldiers rushed out from the city gate.
The victims who were fleeing in all directions had only run a short distance.
He was immediately captured by the soldiers, and then...
White knife goes in, red knife comes out.
The whole world was quiet for a moment.
Then...
Then a scream was heard: "Murder!"
As the sound suddenly rang out, a group of people fled in all directions, each one with a look of terror on their face. Song Jiao'e was also shocked by the scene before her eyes. Madam Song rushed over and wanted to protect Song Jiao'e and escape together.
However, a soldier in armor rushed out from behind.
Before Song Jiao'e could react, the spear in the soldier's hand had already pierced through Mrs. Song's body.
Song Jiao'e looked at the injuries on her mother's body with tears in her eyes.
"mother."
She looked at the scene in disbelief.
However, before he could think about it, Mr. Song rushed over and grabbed Song Jiao'e's arm.
"Let's go."
Mr. Song grabbed Song Jiao'e's hand and ran straight into the woods outside. The old Gu family and their group did not bother to think too much and hurriedly ran out.
"Old Four, wait for me."
Wan Mei's voice came from not far away, but Gu Laosi didn't even turn around.
Several soldiers in armor stepped forward and grabbed Wan Mei's arm.
"Wow, this woman is really good looking."
The two Qiyue soldiers looked at Wanmei with ferocious expressions and spoke foul words.
Wan Mei subconsciously looked up in the direction of Gu Laosi.
"Husband..."
She opened her mouth to call the person over there, but Gu Laosi just turned around and glanced.
