"Mother, why are we running this way?"
In the crowd, a sallow-faced woman in her thirties was being dragged by an old woman into an alley to hide!
"You silly daughter-in-law, you're just like your blockheaded eldest brother!" As the old woman pulled the younger into the alley, she said, "The streets are so chaotic. The intersections are crowded with so many people; can't you see the situation? Can the two of us push through? One misstep and we could be trampled to death, and moreover, people are saying that there's been killing, causing this turmoil. It's likely that bandits are invading and massacring. In such situations, running to where there are more people will only get you killed faster!"
"Eh?" The daughter-in-law was startled. "Mother, why do you say that? Isn't it safer where there are more people?"
