Zhao Yongwen was holding a rolling pin and a handful of vegetables, shaking like a sieve, as he stood guard over them.
Now that we are safe, everyone still feels weak in the arms and legs.
Landlord Sun rubbed his ankle, sweating from the pain. Hearing what his eldest daughter-in-law said, he raised his head and glared at her, "If you don't want to come out, then go back now. I'll let the eldest take you there."
Looking at her angry father-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family curled her lips and left angrily. She didn't want to make herself unhappy here.
Although the second sister-in-law of the Sun family was also dissatisfied in her heart, she had become smarter now and would not easily express her thoughts.
Along the way, she saw clearly how much the Dong family took care of the Qian family and they had a very good relationship. By following the Qian family closely, she could also get some benefits from the Dong family.
See, they ate better along the way than in the capital, even though the journey was a bit tiring.
The second sister-in-law of the Sun family has made up her mind that she will cling to Sun Meiping's thigh in the future, which is equivalent to indirectly clinging to the thigh of the Qian family, and even more indirectly clinging to the thigh of the Dong family.
Seeing that the eldest sister-in-law was scolded by her father-in-law, the second sister-in-law of the Sun family was very happy. She took the initiative to say to the landlord Sun, "Dad, you need to rub your feet with medicinal wine. I brought a bottle. I will go get it for you and let the second brother rub it for you later."
After saying this, she happily ran towards her carriage.
Landlord Sun looked at the back of his second son's wife with satisfaction and nodded, "Second son, your wife has been doing well recently. She knows what to do."
After saying this, Landlord Sun once again glanced at the eldest son's wife with dissatisfaction.
…
In the rest area, everyone sat in front of the fire, all in silence. Zheng Chen and the others were guarding the outermost circle.
Looking at the jumping flames in the fire, everyone was filled with confusion and worry about the future.
If they continue to go forward, they don’t know how many dangers are waiting for them ahead.
Turning back? It seems even more unrealistic.
This kind of entanglement and worry continued until dawn.
The sound of galloping horses gave them the answer. The people on horseback shouted, "Run, run, everyone, the Turkic soldiers are coming."
They shouted and galloped on their horses.
The refugees on the roadside immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and unlike their previous listless appearance, they followed the horses, running quickly as if to escape.
"Yongning Prefecture was occupied by Turkic soldiers, and many people died." A young man ran very fast, talking to the people around him as he ran.
Another tall man wiped his tears and said, "The Turkic soldiers are inhumane. They burned, killed and looted everything on the first day they entered the city."
Madam Dong and the others were shocked when they heard this. It had only been ten days since they left Yongning Prefecture, and it had already fallen.
Only Landlord Sun was secretly glad in his heart that thanks to his prompt decision, his family would have been in great danger now.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family opened her mouth wide. If she hadn't left, would her family have been killed, robbed, or burned? Thinking of this, she shuddered.
All the complaints in the past were severely slapped in the face at this moment.
"Hurry, get on the carriage, we're leaving now." Zheng Chen shouted loudly.
Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Zheng Chen shouted and quickly put out the fire.
Now everyone stopped hesitating and considering it. There was only one way ahead, and that was to move forward, away from Yongning Prefecture.
Everyone moved quickly and got on their own carriages. With the sound of whips, the carriages quickly left the place.
