"Um."
An Miaomiao and An Wanwan both nodded.
After eating, they rested for a short while and then rode away on horseback.
Before An Wanwan and her group even reached the counties and towns under Yincheng's jurisdiction, they saw many people who had escaped.
They mostly traveled by horse-drawn carriage or oxcart.
If the war was going well, why would they flee?
An Miaomiao was very worried and said, "I'll go stop one of them and ask him."
Before An Wanwan and the others could say anything...
An Miaomiao rode her horse up to a bullock cart and blocked their way, asking, "Uncle driver, may I ask, are you fleeing from Yincheng?"
Upon hearing this...
The oxcart driver said with a complicated expression, "That's right, we did indeed flee from Yincheng."
It turns out that's true.
An Miaomiao then asked, "But what went wrong in the battle at the front?"
The uncle driving the oxcart didn't reply to him.
An Miaomiao was about to ask another question.
An Wanwan's voice came from behind: "Uncle driver, it's like this, several of our relatives have joined the army, and we're worried about them, so we came out to inquire."
I learned that this was the case.
The driver said, "We didn't know much, but we were worried about being hit like this, so we simply left our hometown and went to other places."
He had barely finished speaking.
A middle-aged woman sitting behind him looked at An Wanwan and the others and said, "There's a war going on now, it's not safe for you young ladies to come out like this, you should go back quickly!"
"Auntie, thank you, we know."
An Wanwan thanked them and called An Miaomiao and Xiahou Meng to the roadside to talk.
"Miaomiao, sister-in-law, it's really inconvenient for us to wear women's clothes. Let's quickly get some men's clothes to change into."
An Miaomiao and Xiahou Meng had no objections.
Arrive at the next town.
An Wanwan and her friends went to the clothing store that hadn't moved yet and bought several sets of men's clothing. They originally wanted to buy some medicinal herbs, but they had already sold out, and some stores had even closed down.
An Miaomiao frowned and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought more medicine."
Hearing what An Miaomiao said...
An Wanwan said calmly, "It's okay, there are herbs on the mountain, aren't there? If we really run out of herbs, we'll go into the mountains to gather them."
"Oh yeah, look at my head..."
An Miaomiao raised her hand and slapped her head.
Xiahou Meng chuckled: "Miaomiao, stop patting your head, or you'll become even sillier..."
"Sister-in-law..."
An Miaomiao called out, feigning unease.
Xiahou Meng quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't say that to you anymore, okay? By the way, we need to change how we address you. Since you've changed into men's clothing, you can't call me sister-in-law anymore."
"Then call him Big Brother."
An Miaomiao blurted out a sentence.
Xiahou Meng had originally wanted them to call her Xia Cheng.
An Wanwan said from the side, "Let's pretend to be three brothers. We also need to get travel permits. It would be troublesome if they check travel permits when we enter the city."
Yes, yes.
An Miaomiao opened her mouth to agree.
The government office staff were still around, so it would have been easy to get a travel permit at this time. However, An Wanwan and her companions were not from this area, their identities were not right, and there was no one at the government office. Therefore, after some consideration, they decided to sneak into the government office at night and get the permit themselves.
Done.
An Wanwan and her group left the town early in the morning and headed straight for Yincheng.
Along the way.
An Wanwan and her companions encountered many refugees. Compared to the people they had met before, these people were all from poor families. Although they were poor, they still had some food.
then.
An Wanwan and the others ignored them and continued on their way.
On the road.
An Wanwan and her group were delayed by the weather, so they arrived in Lingxi City at the beginning of the first lunar month.
