Nan Xiangyun knew what an ordinary person was at a glance, and Ying Qingci had no objection. Ying Wangzhu had lived for so long, and he still had a clear view of people.
The injuries on this man's body were not something that ordinary people could hurt. His origin... Ying Wangzhu glanced at Ying Qingci and made a decision immediately.
"Okay, let's go south."
Whether it was because of Nan Xiangyun's words or the scattered information they had gathered before, going south was undoubtedly the best plan for them now.
As for Ying Shuangbai and the others, it would be safest to wait for them to settle down before looking for them.
Not only that, you can also keep inquiring about their news on the way, and perhaps, it is not impossible to find out something about them.
After lunch, for some reason, Nan Xiangyun felt that the injuries on his body had improved a lot, and the pain had also weakened a lot.
He always felt that it had something to do with the glass of water Huang Xuecao gave him before. Ying's water seemed to be particularly sweet. After drinking it, he felt warm all over his body, but it was just a glass of water. ...Maybe he thinks too much...
"Where did the water you drank before come from?"
"Oh, it's the spring water found in the mountains."
After hearing Nan Xiangyun's words, Ying Qingci's expression flashed slightly, but she continued to put away the dishes in front of Nan Xiangyun without changing her expression.
"Mountain spring water?" Nan Xiangyun frowned in confusion when he heard the answer and murmured. "Then why do I always feel different?"
"What?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Hearing Ying Qingci's words, Nan Xiangyun retracted his thoughts and his eyes fell on her. "I feel that the injuries on my body are almost healed. I will leave in the afternoon."
"As for my previous affairs, they are valid at any time." Speaking of this, Nan Xiangyun took out a token from his chest.
"Here, this is my personal symbol. If you come to me for anything in the future, take it to Jinyu Pavilion. Someone will tell me about it then."
"Okay, I'll accept it."
Ying Qingci took the token handed over by Nan Xiangyun and put it in her embroidery bag. In fact, she put it into her own space under the cover of the embroidery bag.
There is no place safer than your own space.
When Nan Xiangyun left, he left quietly without disturbing anyone. Even the Ying family, Ying Qingci told them after he left.
"Then let's continue on our way."
Nan Xiangyun left, and it was time for them to leave. If they continued to linger here, they still didn't know when they would be able to find a place to stay.
It has been almost more than a month since the severe drought started, and they have just left the boundaries of Nanhe Mansion.
They met a lot of refugees on the road, all of them had a look of death on their faces, and they had no spirit. They just walked mechanically, aimlessly and without end.
"Oh, the drought is really a trick. Isn't it cutting off the people's livelihood?"
The Ying family didn't bring much with them, but the things that Ying Qingci had found in the past few days had filled them up, and now they felt full of energy while walking on the road.
After walking for so long, I didn't feel tired at all.
"You bitch, you dare to eat secretly, I'll beat you to death! If you eat the food, what will I eat after that? You damn thing!"
"Ah! Mom, stop fighting, stop fighting." The young woman begged for mercy. The tears she shed were mixed with the dirt on her face, making her dirty.
She glanced at the silent man on the side and lowered her head.
"You are a waste of money. You don't know how to work, but you only know how to eat. Eat, eat, eat. Why don't you eat to death? I can't bear to eat, and I even raised a rat. You are a waste of money. Why don't you go? Die!"
"Mom, Erya is really going to die if she doesn't eat anymore." The woman years ago held the child in her arms. It was a girl, but her breathing was very weak and she was thin and dry.
"A loser, you can eat whatever you want!" When the old woman heard what the young woman said, she walked directly in front of her and yelled, "You can't even give birth to a child, so what's the use of you? Get up quickly and go to work for me!"
…
"Daddy, grandma, grandma, there seems to be a group of people in front of us."
In the past few days, the life of the Ying family has become much better, and several people no longer have sad faces. Although there is no trace of Ying Shuangbai and the others, their lives will eventually go on.
As soon as they reached the middle of the road, a sharp voice came through the crowd. Ying Qingjia's ears twitched and her eyes fell not far away.
The content of their conversation could only be vaguely transmitted to his ears, but after hearing the content, he frowned hard.
"Well, I guess something happened."
"It sounded to me like an old woman was scolding her daughter-in-law."
"Hey, they are all women, why bother women." Huang Xuecao also heard this and sighed in her heart. After she entered the Ying family, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also harmonious, so she treated her daughter-in-law sincerely, and never because of I had quarrels with my daughter-in-law about the grandchildren.
She knows that only a harmonious family can last long.
"However, this is not what we should be concerned about. Let's hurry up and get on with it."
If they couldn't find a place to rest before dark, they would have to spend the night in the wild again.
Although it is convenient to spend the night in the wild, it is not safe, especially when there are so many refugees around. No one knows what they are thinking, and you have to be on guard against them at all times.
"Second brother, dad is right, we don't want to interfere in these things."
Ying Qingci's ears were relatively good and she could hear a general idea. There seemed to be a woman crying and howling over there, and there was an old woman cursing beside her. It must have been something about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, there are no such messy things in the Ying family, and no one in the family favors sons over daughters. Otherwise, what she has to do now would have to be done in secret.
The commotion there is not small, there are many people joining in the fun, and there are also many people staying out of it. After all, in this current situation, if you can't manage your own affairs, who has the time to care about other people's affairs?
Ying Qingci sighed in her heart. Women in ancient times had almost no personal consciousness, and there were only a lot more cases like this.
They walked for a whole day and finally reached the boundary of Quling Mansion, but the city gate was also closed. Ying Qingci asked the people next to him and found out that Quling Mansion had banned refugees from entering for a long time. If they wanted to enter, Still need to pay.
"Daddy, grandma, grandma, let's take a rest here. Wait until early tomorrow morning and I'll go over and ask if I can go into the city to buy some things and come back."
"It can only be this way."
Ying Wangzhu and the others sighed, the sky was getting dark now, and the city gate had long been closed, not to mention that refugees had not been allowed to enter the city gate of Quling Mansion.
They have no choice but to wait until tomorrow and ask about the situation.
