Jiang Huaixu slowly stopped, breathing heavily.
Zhangzhou City had suffered so many casualties and had been flooded, making it particularly vulnerable to an epidemic. She had to take protective measures.
She took out a medical mask from the space, covered it with a black cloth, and disinfected it briefly before continuing to move forward.
After climbing over the broken brick wall, Jiang Huaixu was about to jump down when he suddenly heard someone groaning nearby.
Soon the image in her mind scanned the location of the man, who seemed to be a soldier. With just a glance, she was sure that even if this man was rescued, he would not live long.
After jumping off the wall, she walked into the city without looking back.
Perhaps it was late at night, as Jiang Huaixu saw no one along the way. A stray cat darted past on the street nearby, disappearing in an instant.
Had Zhangzhou City been abandoned? If an external enemy attacked in this situation, it would fall without a fight and be easily captured. Jiang Huaixu pondered in his heart.
Continuing to walk along the main street, she scanned the screen and saw an old man sitting alone in his yard. His back looked desolate and lonely, as lifeless as a dead tree.
She turned and stopped at the door of this house.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The knock on the door was gentle and rhythmic.
Through the door, Jiang Huaixu saw the old woman was stunned at first, then stared at the door blankly, and finally suddenly smiled, tears seemed to slide from the corners of her eyes, she hurriedly stood up and opened the door.
"Grandma, is there any food at home? I'm so hungry..." Jiang Huaixu's voice became thin and weak, for some unknown reason.
The old man seemed to have poor eyesight. He looked for a long time before he saw Jiang Huaixu, who almost blended into the night.
The moment he saw Jiang Huaixu clearly, his face, which was covered with wrinkles like tree bark, calmed down again.
"Hungry?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word. After a long moment of reflection, she slowly said, "Come in."
Jiang Huaixu squeezed in through the crack in the door and followed the old man, who was trembling with every step, slowly.
The house on the east side of the old woman's home collapsed completely. For some reason, she was the only one in the whole house. I don't know if she had no family members or if they were all not at home.
Jiang Huaixu took the pancake handed to him by the old man, took two bites, and then looked at the old man who had sat back under the tree.
"Grandma, why don't you sleep?" she asked.
It was a long time before she heard the old man speak, "...I can't sleep."
There was another long silence. Just when Jiang Huaixu thought she would not speak again, the old woman asked nervously, "Where do you live? Have you seen a tall young man with a little girl with a bun..."
"Who are they to you?"
"It's my son and my granddaughter." An almost inaudible smile appeared on the old man's face. "My son is a promising man, but his life is not very good. His father passed away early, and his wife died of hemorrhage when giving birth to Xiaoyue. I originally wanted to find another family to marry him during the Chinese New Year, but he refused. He said he wanted to raise Xiaoyue well..."
"A few days ago he said he would take Xiaoyue to visit her grandparents, but why hasn't he come back in two days..."
When Jiang Huaixu heard him repeating the last sentence, he understood why the old man didn't sleep and kept sitting in the yard.
"Grandma, they must have been delayed on the way. They will be back once they have finished their business."
The old man's mumbling suddenly stopped, "Really?"
"With you waiting at home, uncle and sister will be fine."
The old man didn't know whether to believe it or not. He kept nodding his head and his words were unclear.
"Grandma, do you know where Prince Duan's Mansion is? My mother is a servant there, and I'm here to look for her."
"I know, I know." The old man seemed to be more clear-headed. "It's just in the north of the city. That cowardly Prince Duan has already left the people of our city and ran away. He ran away!"
Jiang Huaixu stood up and thanked the old man.
"Grandma, please wait a moment. Don't run around. Otherwise, if your uncle and sister come back and can't find you, they will be very sad."
"Hey hey." The old man responded, but still sat there stubbornly.
Jiang Huaixu sighed and walked away. When she walked behind the old man, she raised her hand and gently cut the back of the old man's neck. The old man immediately lost consciousness.
Catching the old man's limp body, she moved him into the west room and quietly left.
After walking out of the old man's house, Jiang Huaixu did not linger any longer and galloped towards the north of the city without stopping.
The miserable conditions along the way could not be described as hell on earth.
[Host, the people here are so rich.]
Our target is the Prince's Palace. It's the wealthiest palace in all of Zhangzhou City. Every wicked person will be punished by his own wickedness. I am that wicked person, and I'm only targeting the wicked Prince Duan.
After saying this, Jiang Huaixu sped up again. In the thick night, a short and slender figure was running on the streets that stretched in all directions like a ghost, and his footsteps were almost inaudible.
Soon, Jiang Huaixu found the north of the city. Prince Duan's Mansion occupied a very large area, almost occupying most of the north of the city. The most important thing was that the mansion was more earthquake-resistant than other houses. Only a small part of it collapsed in the earthquake. There were also special people guarding the collapsed walls on the outside, so it was easy to be scanned.
She came to the base of the wall of a large house next to Prince Duan's Mansion. She stood motionless as if she had merged with the wall. In fact, the light screen in front of her was gradually showing all the routes and defense layout of Prince Duan's Mansion.
However, after a few moments, Jiang Huaixu planned a perfect infiltration route and did not stay any longer.
