Chapter 342: The Heart is Deep
With such a great disaster, she couldn't gamble on human nature.
The villagers were all ordinary people who had no ability to fight back. She didn't dare to lead a group of vicious people back and invite wolves into the village, which would be counterproductive.
Erbao asked again, "Then where should we go? Escape somewhere else? Escape in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Lianzhu was not optimistic. "It's a bit too late to escape now. If you had told me clearly earlier, we could have escaped earlier. Right now, there are probably spies everywhere. We are too big a target. They lost the first wave last night, and maybe the second wave will come tonight. If we are surrounded and robbed by so many people on the way, our situation will be even more passive."
Jiang Lianzhu was not sure if she could protect the three cubs and Jiang Chengshi from getting hurt when surrounded by so many people.
If she was alone, it would be easy.
She is not afraid of any number of people coming. If she can't beat them, can she not run away?
The people who came were not ordinary assassins, but people with martial arts skills, such as the ghost who was a little famous.
If there are a few more assassins with special talents, it will be difficult to defend against them.
When Dabao and Erbao heard Jiang Lianzhu say this, they lowered their heads again.
Erbao said, "Mother, we were wrong."
"It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. You let mother think about it carefully. There will definitely be a way." Jiang Lianzhu didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
The current situation is that I can't stay in town, I can't go back to the village, and I can't escape. It would be great if there was a safe place to hide.
The dog Liao Jiu is not here either... he has gone on a long trip.
I don't know when I'll be back...
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao."
They were the secret guards from the Six Gates who had been following Jiang Lianzhu and protecting her.
"Come in."
A secret guard lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Jiang, some people have arrived in Shili Town. They have quite some martial arts skills. I don't know where they came from. Please take the children and follow us to Beijing as soon as possible. We won't be staying in Shili Town for long. We don't have many people in the town, and it will take time to deploy them..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked them, "How many of you are in Shili Town now?"
"More than ten." The secret guard replied truthfully.
Jiang Lianzhu rejected the idea of going with them in her heart.
Not far.
We can't even get to Shamen County. There must be many ambushes along the way.
Judging from the scale of last night’s incident, they would not be given the opportunity to go to the capital or to the headquarters of the Six Gates.
Besides, where would she go and what would she do? Gou Liaojiu was not in the capital, he was out on business. And the Six Gates were also an official office, the emperor's people. They might also do something bad to Dabao and the others. She would not go with them.
"Where has your master gone? When will he be back?"
The secret guard replied, "The master has gone to the border of Aquarius on official business, and we don't know when he will return. We have already sent a pigeon back to the capital with the news of the incident here. I believe the master will know soon. However, the journey is too far, so we won't be able to catch up here for a while. Let's go to the capital first..."
Jiang Lianzhu refused, "No, we will find a way ourselves. Thank you for your kindness."
The Six Gates' secret guards were baffled by Jiang Lianzhu's refusal. "Doctor Jiang, this is the best solution right now. We don't have many people from the Six Gates in Shili Town. If we continue to stay here, we might not be able to protect you. The situation is serious and critical. I hope Doctor Jiang can consider my suggestion. We need to leave as soon as possible and not delay any longer."
"We don't need your protection. We can protect ourselves."
After rejecting the kindness of the Six Gates' secret guards again, Jiang Lianzhu had already made up her mind.
She has found a safer place.
There is no need to drag your family around.
There is no need to set up a large number of traps.
The best place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After sending away the Six Gates' secret guards, Dabao asked in a deep voice, "Mother, do you have any good ideas? Actually, going with the Six Gates' men is also a good idea. Governor Liao recognized me before, but he didn't arrest me. If I go to the Six Gates, maybe there's still a way out..."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and replied, "It's not a good idea. It's just that finding a safe place is good for taking refuge for a short time, but it's not suitable for survival for a long time. If we follow them now, the road may not be safe either. And the Six Gates are officials after all. Just because Liao Jiu didn't arrest you doesn't mean that other people won't catch you. After all, the Six Gates are not just Liao Jiu. What if there are people who don't obey him in secret and he wants to protect you, and someone sues him as well? People's hearts are hidden, it's better to rely on yourself than on others."
Liao Jiu herself might not be a good person, let alone others. She didn't want to go to Liushenmen.
"Okay, we'll listen to mom. Whatever mom arranges is fine." The two children said in unison.
Although they didn't know where the safe place their mother was talking about was, since she said it, it must be absolutely safe.
"Hurry up and pack your things immediately. Take the necessities with you. We are leaving immediately. We can't stay here for long."
"Okay." The two children started to move.
Erbao suddenly asked, "Mom, the Lin family is gone. Is it because the situation is particularly serious? They can't afford to offend their family, so they left? I don't know if Brother Ziji's illness will relapse. After all, he inhaled the poison gas..."
Looks a little worried.
"I don't know, there may be a reason for it. Lin Ziji's body is not in danger of life. I brought him medicine when he left." Jiang Lianzhu took away all the autumn pear paste pills she had accumulated, as well as the asthma prescription, anti-inflammatory drugs and other things from the first aid kit.
She left in a hurry and had no time to teach Butler Lin some massage techniques suitable for Lin Ziji.
If they survived this disaster, she believed that she would have the chance to see Lin Ziji again in the future.
We’ll talk about it when the time comes.
Anyway, I have already owed you a huge favor and I have to pay it back.
After the two little ones packed their things, Jiang Lianzhu went to find Jiang Chengshi and the others and asked them to pack their things as well.
So many people died in Jiang's Clinic, and no one knew what happened. They said it was because of robbers, but they didn't know if the robbers would come again in the future, or whether the clinic could continue to operate. Everything was unclear and unknown. Coupled with the huge blow, both of them were in panic, and they did whatever Jiang Lianzhu asked them to do.
Then, Jiang Lianzhu gave Erya a hundred taels of silver and said, "The bandits may come after us. It's dangerous for you to follow us. You'd better go home to your mother and the others. Ask them to move out of our country home immediately and have the village head arrange a new address for you. You can live in the old adobe house where we used to live. It's dangerous to live with us in case bandits come to your door. Take this hundred taels of silver..."
