Especially Chi Dongyi, while he ordered the strong laborers who had gathered around to investigate what was going on, he also sent someone to call the remaining two clan elders.
They need to increase the number of patrol personnel, not only during the day but also at night.
Instead of the previous system where only two or three people patrolled symbolically each day.
Once it is confirmed that they are refugees from Wuning Prefecture, they must expel them from here immediately.
Otherwise, their Chijia'ao, where they have plenty of food and drink, will definitely be doomed!
Chi Yu didn't expect to hear this news, which made her, who originally wanted to ask Lü Guihua to help take care of Zhuangzhuang, immediately give up the idea.
Forget it, it's better to take care of the child myself.
It's okay if you can't find dandelions or chrysanthemums.
Anyway, as long as you have mung beans and mint, it'll be fine.
You only need one or two things that can cool you down; you don't necessarily need a lot of different kinds!
With these thoughts in mind, Chi Yu left.
She had only been home a short while when she suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
She thought about it carefully and realized that apart from her brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews who lived in the village, only her older sister and eldest brother had not returned.
Why do I feel uneasy and think something bad is going to happen? Could it be related to those refugees?
Chi Yu was a little restless, and finally took Zhuang Zhuang into the space to find her second and third brothers.
At that time, Chi Qiao and Chi Kang were riding in the carriage of the second branch of the Zhong family and were almost at Chijia'ao.
Six carriages followed behind theirs.
Inside one of the cars were Wang Yunjuan and her husband.
In the other car sat Chunxi and Zhong Yufeng.
The remaining four carriages contained their dowries. Zhong Yufeng's dowry occupied three carriages, while Chunxi's was in one.
Yes, Wang Yunjuan originally planned to have the driver go back and call Chunxi to go to Chijia'ao with Chi Qiao and the others.
Unfortunately, on his way back, the coachman ran into the second master of the Zhong family, Zhong Minghe, by the gate.
Zhong Minghe knew perfectly well why his wife had left home so early in the morning.
Seeing that the driver had returned alone, they asked him what had happened.
When he learned that he was coming back to take Chunxi to Chijia'ao, he thought about it and decided to bring his daughter along with him since there was still a short time left before the wedding.
His son has already been sent to his wife's parents' home to get married at his maternal grandparents' house.
They were worried about their daughter, so they stayed behind to help her.
With little time left and no choice of marriage partner yet, they carefully weighed their options before selecting Chi Kang from Chijia'ao.
However, Chijia'ao is too far from the county town, and he was really afraid that going back and forth would take up too much time.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he called his daughter, took her dowry, and personally went to Chijia'ao.
According to what he heard from the coachman, Chi Kang already knew about it and didn't object. Even Zhou Sanya from the Chi family already knew.
Why would he make his daughter wait at home in vain?
Anyway, this marriage should be kept simple, so there's no need for so many formalities.
He and his wife were still in Anping County. Based on his relationship with his cousin-in-law, he figured the Chi family wouldn't dare to bully his daughter.
Therefore, Chi Qiao, who could have returned in a single carriage, ended up with a grand procession of seven carriages.
And every car was packed full.
In addition to valuable silver, cloth, and jewelry, Zhong Yufeng and Chunxi's dowry also included a significant amount of grain.
Having passed Tiger Head Cliff, they were almost at Chijia'ao. Chi Qiao couldn't sit still any longer, so she got out of the carriage and stood on the carriage shaft to stretch.
But to her surprise, she noticed something was wrong as soon as she stretched halfway through her yawn.
Her face was deathly pale, she swayed unsteadily, and asked in a trembling voice:
