He even scolded her, "Look at the mess you made of your stubble on my granddaughter! Get out of here, you're so slovenly!"
Tian Laosan…
He's not actually slovenly; he's just a refugee with no other choice.
He wanted to hug his daughter again and coaxed the old lady that he would not prick her with his beard again, but the old lady refused him without hesitation.
Even his own father didn't have a chance...
My second uncle and fourth uncle had no chance at all.
The three men could only watch longingly, while Tian Guoguo couldn't help but giggle.
Grandma Tian coaxed her granddaughter and then reminded Tian Lao Er about going to the county town the next day.
"Buy less rice and meat in the county town tomorrow, so that when we eat meat, no one will notice anything amiss."
"Also, buy some delicious food for Guoguo."
As she spoke, she asked Guoguo what she liked to eat, hoping that Tian Lao Er would bring it back. However, Tian Guoguo said, "I... want to go too."
Everyone says that ancient markets were very lively, and Tian Guoguo wanted to go and see them so she could pick out her favorite foods.
Grandma Tian initially disagreed.
Going to the city is good, but it's dangerous, and the old lady doesn't want anything to happen to her granddaughter.
Tian Guoguo knew what her grandmother was thinking, so she didn't say anything, but just looked at the old lady pitifully, trying to soften the old lady's heart.
"Alright, alright, Grandma will go with you!"
Tian Guoguo immediately stopped being pitiful and hugged her grandmother's face, giving her a quick kiss.
The old lady was so amused that her eyes instantly crinkled with laughter.
Tian Laosan and Lao Si went back to sleep, and Tian Guoguo took out the hamburger that she hadn't finished eating and gave it to her grandmother.
Grandma Tian looked at the hamburger and wanted to ask her granddaughter where the hamburger and the food came from.
Tian Guoguo just smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Grandma Tian seemed to think of something and pondered for a moment, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions. The grandmother and grandson silently shared the hamburger.
The night is fleeting!
The next morning.
When Tian Guoguo woke up, the Tian family members were already awake. The old lady was instructing Wen and He to keep a close eye on the rice and meat in the house.
Both the Wen and He families were surprised to hear this.
But the old lady said that it was all thanks to Guoguo's good fortune that she got it from the gods. They looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
Tian Guoguo couldn't help but twitch her lips.
In this feudal era, people believed in ghosts and gods. Grandma really found a good excuse for her!
This will make it much easier for her to take things out in the future!
The villagers ate a quick breakfast and then hurried on their way. Around noon, they finally arrived at the entrance to the county town.
There are indeed many refugees outside the county town.
In this cold winter, many refugees were shivering from the cold, and some had even frozen or starved to death.
It looks so tragic.
There were several soldiers guarding the city gate. The village chief went over to inquire and found out that each person needed to pay 30 coins to enter the city!
He then returned and asked each household to make a list of what they wanted to buy, take out the corresponding amount of money, and select eight able-bodied men.
The able-bodied men would go to the city to make the purchases, while the other villagers would wait at the rest area, which would greatly reduce the expenditure of money.
However, the 30 coins for entering the city need to be shared by everyone.
The villagers had no objections and readily took out their money.
In addition, there are Tian Lao Er, Tian Lao Tai, Tian Guo Guo, Qian Bao, and the seven brothers he selected to protect the grain.
Their travel expenses to the city are also covered by the village.
Qian Bao and his brothers wanted to protect the grain, so the village should bear the cost of going to the city, while the Tian family lent out the donkey cart they needed to buy the grain.
The village paid for the Tian family of three to travel to the city, which can be considered as a car rental fee!
Furthermore, Qian Bao left half of his brothers behind to protect the villagers. These brothers were all Tian Guoguo's underlings, so the car rental fee was well worth it!
Everyone was very grateful.
Tian Guoguo and the others then headed towards the city gate.
Because of the entrance fee, not many people enter the city through the city gate; the few who do enter are mostly merchants delivering goods.
The village chief, clutching the silver coins, was about to count them and distribute them to the soldiers guarding the city...
But at this moment...
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, followed by the commotion of refugees outside the city.
Everyone instinctively looked over, and the first thing they saw was a brown horse covered in wounds, carrying a man in armor who was already unconscious.
The horse was probably heading towards the city gate.
However, it was surrounded by some refugee groups nearby, and it seemed that it was afraid of hurting people, so it had to stop.
The refugees, however, were not afraid of harming it.
Some refugees even shouted, "This man is already dead, let's pull him down and eat this horse to fill our stomachs!"
The refugees hurriedly pulled people away.
Upon seeing this scene, Tian Guoguo couldn't help but recall the post-apocalyptic world in her previous life, where zombies roamed everywhere.
She remembered the first time she went out to fight, she was surrounded by zombies and almost, almost, she was devoured.
Fortunately, she was rescued.
It's just a pity that she didn't get a clear look at the person who saved her!
She never saw that person again.
Looking at the person on horseback, she felt a strange, inexplicable feeling, but her intuition told her: Save him!
She quickly tugged at her grandmother's arm and whispered for her grandmother to carry her over; she wanted to save him!
Grandma Tian didn't want to go.
Although she felt sorry for that person, in this chaotic world, they were barely able to protect themselves, let alone have the strength to protect others.
Suddenly, Tian Guoguo slid off her arms and ran towards the person with her short legs. However, she was too slow and was quickly caught up by Old Lady Tian, the second son, and Qian Bao.
Qian Bao ran the fastest and arrived first.
Upon seeing that it was Qian Bao, Tian Guoguo anxiously pointed to the man not far away and said, "Carry me, carry me there, quick..."
Qian Bao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look.
Seeing so many refugees, Qian Bao was worried that his boss might be in danger. Just as he was about to suggest that they not go, Tian Guoguo pulled out a grenade from somewhere.
She pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it to the ground.
The grenade rolled over to the refugees.
Then there was a "bang" sound...
The refugees present were all taken aback. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw that the refugees who had been properly dressed before were now...
Well, how should I describe it?
In this freezing winter weather, why are you only wearing underwear? And aren't those legs, which look like bamboo poles, a bit dark?
How long has it been since I last showered...?
"Ouch, that hurts! It hurts like hell!"
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the refugees who had been bombed suddenly started screaming, as if they were in a lot of pain, and started rolling around on the ground.
The thunder just now looked a lot like lightning from the sky.
The refugees were already somewhat panicked when they heard the commotion, and seeing the refugees in so much pain from the bombing only made them even more panicked.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tian Guoguo tugged at Qian Bao's sleeve, making him carry her over again.
Qian Bao thought of the second-in-command of the gang who had been bombed earlier...
Think about the boss's hand grenade again.
What else didn't he understand? He quickly picked up his eldest son and headed over there.
Just as Grandma Tian and Tian Lao Er caught up, they saw that the refugees were heading towards the refugees, so the two hurriedly followed after them.
Tian Guoguo was carried by Qian Bao into the group of refugees, throwing a grenade to clear a path as they walked.
She doesn't need to keep throwing grenades.
Just throw a few stun balls as they walk in, and the refugees behind them are all terrified and scatter, staring at them in disbelief.
Tian Guoguo ignored their gazes.
Quickly get to the man's side.
