Chapter 49
Now that the pits are burning at night, it really requires a lot of firewood. It seems that it is not unhelpful to have the brother and sister following him. I secretly laughed, but when she saw the food bag, her happiness disappeared in an instant. Oh my god, it's going to be out of the cooking, it's going to be out of the cooking!
When Lin Yiran was worried about food, the war outside really hit Yingcheng. The whole Yingcheng became nervous in an instant. The civilians could no longer walk around at will. They almost stayed at home and waited for the assignment or helped boil water for logistics.
Lin Yiran had to use the last 10,000 taels of silver from Su Dayi and his sister, and bought food rations with Grandma Zhang for a few days. They changed from two meals a day to one meal a day.
The only thing that can comfort me is that I was not frozen. Lin Yiran was lying on her warm pit, pillowing her head with her hands and looking at the beams of the roof. Her mind was nothing but food.
Lin Xiaohe opened the curtain and shouted, "Second Sister--"
"What's the matter?"
While the siblings were talking, the puppy jumped onto Lin Yiran's bed and slid into the soles of her feet. She let her stare at her and ignored her and buried it in the quilt.
Lin Xiaohe glanced at the puppy and said, "I seem to hear the sound of fighting outside the city."
"Yes!" Lin Yiran sat up from the bed, listened carefully, and seemed to have it, nodded, "Well, is there, are you afraid?"
Lin Xiaohe shook his head and said, "I heard from the people in the alley that it seems that the murderous devil is coming."
"Murder Demon King?" Lin Yiran asked in surprise.
"Um!"
Lin Yiran asked, "Who?"
Lin Xiaohe replied: "It seems that it is Prince Ning."
"Is it awesome to kill people?"
"I heard what others said." Lin Xiaohe said, "Last time, you fainted on the side of the road. We thought you were dead. My elder brother was going to bury you, but because the murderous devil came, it was not buried. Fortunately, I didn't bury it, otherwise I would never see my second sister."
Lin Yiran said in his heart, "Isn't that right? I'm buried in your second sister, and there's no place left me." While thinking, the team of cavalrymen who had stolen the water bags appeared in his mind. Could it be that they are from Ning Guo, and that handsome general is the murderous devil?"
After thinking about it, Lin Yiran asked, "All the way, I haven't heard of the Wu Kingdom war, so how could we...?"
Lin Xiaohe replied, "I heard from my mother that I was fighting too."
"Listen to my mother?"
"I can't remember what happened when I was a kid!"
"Oh, so that's the case." Lin Yiran asked, "Then how long have we been out and wandering?"
"I heard from my mother that it's been nearly four years!"
"..." Lin Yiran didn't expect that they had been wandering for so long. Apart from sighing, she sighed, comforted her, "It's late at night, go to bed!"
"Oh!" Lin Xiaohe was not so scared, so he obediently pulled the curtain and fell asleep in the quilt.
But Lin Yiran couldn't sleep anymore, so why did she wear it to such a chaotic world? How did she live this life?
The next day, before dawn, the doors of all households in the alley were knocked, and the military man started to slap Ding to guard the city. Su Dayi and Ma Tusan were of course pulled away, which scared Lin Yiran to tie her feminine buns before escaping the bad luck of being slapdated. Not only that, some strong women were also pulled away, helping to boil water and oil for logistics.
War is cruel, just like the war in the era of cold weapons. It is simply a human-sea tactic. Whoever has more family members and whoever has faster swords can win.
The shouts of killing outside the city sounded for three days and three nights. Lin Yiran thought to herself that the people of Yingcheng must have been like him and had been trembling for three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, Yingcheng was broken. As for the people of Pingguo or Ningguo, Lin Yiran didn't know that she was hiding into the cellar with her younger brother and several others. The small cellar was originally very bad, and with a few people, they almost were suffocated to death, but even if they were suffocated to death, it would be better than the robbery of soldiers on the ground.
Listening to the noisy sound of footsteps above the ground and the sharp sound of knife slashing spears, the people in the cellar held their breath tightly and did not dare to move, until the sound of footsteps disappeared.
It was not until one day and one night that Su Xiaolan said to the few people, "The robbery and plunder after entering the city has stopped, so we can go out."
After they came out and took a few breaths of fresh air, Lin Yiran asked in confusion, "Will every army enter the city, do it do this?"
Su Xiaolan nodded, "This is what I have met."
Lin Yiran looked at the garrisoned yard, alley, and everything around her, and breathed deeply, thinking that it seemed that the army that did not disturb the people in this era had not yet appeared.
After only a while, she was awakened by the cruel reality. Where should we go now? Should we pack up the tiles and continue to live, or flee to wander around in a foreign land? Lin Yiran felt confused, but something more realistic than confusion was in front of her. She was so hungry that she said to Su Xiaolan, "Miss Xiaolan, make some food first to fill her stomach."
When the confused Su Xiaolan heard this, she woke up, nodded and hurried to the rental house.
Ma was still confused. She looked towards the city gate. Lin Yiran knew that she was thinking about her own man.
Lin Yiran said to Ma, "Cook some food quickly and take it out for Brother Ma to eat later."
"Ah...oh..." Ma was stunned and her two daughters entered the house with her.
Lin Yiran reached out and touched his younger brother's head, "Are you scared?"
Lin Xiaohe shook his head, and the puppy kept lingering around his feet.
An hour later, Lin Yiran filled her stomach and took her meal with Ma to the city gate to find Ma San and Su Dayi.
The whole Yingcheng was in a mess, and there were many soldiers on the street. Lin Yiran and Ma were inquiring carefully. Not long after, they found out where the people were. Because of the defeat, these strong men were detained in the county jail cell, spending some copper coins, but they saw people.
When Ma Tusan saw that his wife had lost her former arrogance, she cried, "Damn, hurry up and get the money to redeem me, I can't stand it!"
Mrs. Ma stuffed him the meal, "You'll talk about it first."
Ma Tusan was not in a mood and shouted anxiously: "No, no...you can spend money to redeem me now."
Lin Yiran thought these prisoners of war would be incorporated, but she didn't expect to be redeemed. She turned around and handed the food to Su Dayi, "Eat it!"
Su Dayi was not polite and finished eating it in just a few ounces.
Lin Yiran asked, "How is it?"
Su Dayi replied: "The second prince of Lingguo escaped, and the great master of Yingxian County was arrested. The third prince of Ningguo was arrested."
Lin Yiran asked, "Then will the person sent by Ningguo take over in Yingcheng?"
Su Dayi shook his head, "I don't know, maybe!"
Lin Yiran didn't understand the world, so she thought for a while and said, "The New Year will be in more than ten days, and I will find a way to redeem you."
Su Dayi looked at Lin Yiran with two eyes, nodded gratefully, and believed in her words, although she was just a twelve or three-year-old girl.
Lin Yiran turned around and looked at the cell. She locked up a dark floor. No one who could be redeemed was a soldier, and said to Ma, "Go back!"
