After much persuasion and a series of assurances, Tang Jian finally managed to calm his mother down.
Now that they had decided to take their two children to Yaozhou, the couple had even more to prepare.
Tang Jian had to arrange for safety along the way, while Lin Zao had to bring the two children's daily necessities, toys, and make sure their studies weren't neglected.
After tidying up, there was a jumble of things, but fortunately Lin Zao had space, so she wasn't worried about not having a place to put them.
Just leave some outside to avoid attracting attention.
Important things are kept in the space.
The Prince's Mansion also granted leave to the two children. Xiao Bao was very reluctant to see Hu Tou and Ya Ya leave Gan Zhou for a while.
He wanted to go with them, but no one would agree to it.
He could only reluctantly say goodbye to Hu Tou Ya Ya, telling his younger siblings not to forget to bring him gifts when they came back.
On the day of departure, Tang Jian left Sun Ding at the general's mansion to look after the house, and only took Tian Bu'er with him, since the house was full of elderly, weak, women and children.
So Lin Zao and his wife, along with their two children, Tian Bu'er, and two coachmen, set off for Yaozhou in two carriages.
Of course, this was only what was on the surface. As for how many people Tang Jian had arranged behind the scenes, Lin Zao had no idea.
The group rode at full speed, and after traveling for most of the day after leaving Ganzhou City, the road began to become desolate.
Withered trees, stripped grass, and scorching sun!
The further we went, the more desolate and uninhabited the land became, a barren expanse of yellowish-brown.
The fields were even cracked and parched, and all the crops inside withered and died.
Along the way, Lin Zao and his companions encountered several groups of refugees fleeing famine. When they saw the horse-drawn carriages, the people starved and looked at them with green eyes.
However, knowing that the people inside the carriage were not to be trifled with, none of them dared to make any rash moves.
Tian Bu'er couldn't bear to watch any longer and kindly advised those people to go to Ganzhou, where at least they would have a chance to survive.
It's not that he's unwilling to give food to these people; if he really did, these refugees would probably swarm around him like madmen.
The two young masters are inside the carriage. What if we frighten them?
After all, Tian Bu'er still vividly remembered the scene where Ya Ya was so frightened that she developed a fever last time.
As evening approached, the group found a place to rest for the night.
The two drivers and Tian Bu'er were packing up things for camping, while Tang Jian and his two children got off and played nearby.
Lin Zao was in charge of preparing dinner.
Fortunately, Tian Bu'er had already set up the pot and gathered a pile of firewood.
Lin Zao cooked a large pot of spicy rice, which is more convenient when traveling.
The aroma of cured pork and rice wafted far and wide, making those who hadn't tasted this flavor in a long time beam with delight.
Just as Lin Zao and the others finished eating and started packing up, a group of five people barged in.
There were three men and two children. What was striking was that the two children were being led over by the three men, who had tied them up with ropes.
When the three people came over, they saw four tall, burly men with a fair-skinned woman and two chubby children.
He immediately smiled apologetically and said cautiously, "We are sorry to have disturbed you, esteemed guests. We just saw some people here and came to take a look!"
Lin Zao and Tang Jian looked at each other. Something was clearly wrong with this group of people. The two children who were tied up were so thin that they were just skin and bones, and they were dazed and lifeless.
Although the three adults looked like refugees, they seemed to be in relatively good spirits. I wonder what exactly happened.
Seeing that his master remained silent, Tian Bu'er said directly to the group, "My master will rest here tonight. You may go somewhere else."
The three men exchanged glances, said nothing more, nodded with forced smiles, and prepared to leave.
Lin Zao noticed that the three of them glanced at her two children discreetly as they turned around, and her eyes turned cold.
A certain guess flashed through her mind, and she glanced at Tang Jian.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya were clinging tightly to Tang Jian, seemingly a little scared, while Tang Jian was looking at the backs of those people, radiating a chilling aura.
It seems he discovered it too!
Lin Zao knew that these people would not let their group of fat sheep off easily, and guessed that they might do something that night.
