This Tongcheng can be considered a lively big city.
As expected, there were no ragged victims in the city. Those who came in must have been kicked out, but many shops on both sides of the street were closed.
Mrs. Chen took the money from Gu Zhang and hurriedly went to buy shoes.
Fortunately, the price of these shoes has not increased. The price of these shoes is one to two hundred ren for a worse price, and 3 to 500 ren for a better one.
Mrs. Chen gave a pair of the cheapest shoes to everyone in the family, not even Lian'er.
The shoes on Lian'er's feet had the front toes hanging out.
Gu Fei took her eldest brother to the medicine shop again. The eldest brother had bought too few herbs before. The weather was getting colder day by day, and he often rested in the wild, so it was easy to catch wind and cold. He also had to buy some medicine to treat injuries.
The two walked into the medicine shop and met a guard in black carrying a young man in green, followed by another guard.
Gu Fei was slightly startled. Isn't this young man the same one he met at the inn that day?
Being carried on someone's back, is this an injury?
Gu Fei only glanced at it and then looked away.
The first thing Su Chen saw was the blue floral coat and skirt.
The coat and skirt were dusty, and the corners of the skirt underneath were still stained with mud.
Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, it's been several days, has this girl not changed her clothes?
Looking from the bottom up, I saw a delicate face. The face was relatively clean, but the hair was all hairy.
Su Chen remembered what the shopkeeper said about this girl being unusual, and pursed her lips. She was not ordinary at all, she was just a sloppy little girl.
Chen Hu carried Su Chen out of the medicine shop and saw several mule carts outside and Gu Zhang on the cart, "Sir, that girl just now was the one we met at the inn a few days ago, right?"
Su Chen said, "Yeah." There was a sound.
Chen Hu added: "Since the young master said that he bought a carriage and left today, why not ask them where they are going? If they are going the same way, it would be safer for us to go together."
Su Chen frowned slightly, "They are just farmers. Why are you following them?"
Zhang Ze, the guard next to him, said, "Sir, I think Chen Hu's words make sense."
"The old man leading them is a practitioner. I could tell when we met him that day. Maybe these people have some skills. "
The road is still long, and there are so many refugees. It is difficult for two fists to defeat four people. Chen Hu and I are afraid that we will not be able to protect the young master. The escort agency does not have any escorts at the moment. At least they have many people and can handle anything." Resist one or two."
Su Chen thought for a while, "That's okay, then ask."
A few people circled around again.
Gu Zhang and Gu Erlang were sitting on the shaft of the car. Zhang Ze came over and said, "Uncle, we met at the inn a few days ago. Do you still have any impressions?"
Gu Zhang got out of the car hurriedly and called. He cupped his hands and said, "Remember, you are—"
Zhang Ze smiled bitterly, "We were in trouble. When we were about to enter the city a few days ago, a large number of refugees suddenly poured towards the city gate. The officers and soldiers couldn't stop them. Several horses were frightened and ran away. My son and his wife were also separated.
"The son was dragged by the frightened horses for more than ten miles. He fell out of the car and broke his leg."
Gu Zhang quickly expressed his sympathy, "This is really a natural and man-made disaster!"
Zhang Ze nodded, "Who says it's not true? I want to ask uncle, where do your family plan to go?"
Gu Zhang said, "You plan to go. Donghai County."
Zhang Ze looked back at Su Chen, and Su Chen nodded slightly.
Zhang Ze then said: "Uncle, I have a gracious request. I wonder if I can go on the road with your family. We happen to be going to Donghai County. There are only three of us. There will only be more and more refugees along the way. I really don't dare to leave."
