Chapter 541: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 4

It's not necessary to follow this plot. After all, this is not a world of novels. She is trying to resolve the cause and effect for her original body, and the original body cannot be reincarnated because of the cause and effect.

Now the Liang family has nothing to do with her. As long as she helps the two villages here survive the disaster in a few years, she can leave here and make her own way.

It’s just that imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.

She thought that with the daughter of Heaven blocking the way, the Waguas could be eliminated or driven back to their hometown. At worst, they could be prevented from coming in, and then she could win again without any effort.

As a result, there was no movement in the three provinces for the time being, but the retail investors who had entered before started to make trouble. They funded or bribed some warlords with weapons and medicines, causing them to fight among themselves. Some even became jealous because the Xiao family in the three provinces had too many good things and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Xiao Yun's side was one of them. The warlord here was named Yao. Because he was closer to the three provinces, he knew the news the fastest. He originally wanted to cooperate with the Xiao family, but after being instigated by foreigners, he began to think about replacing them.

This information was passed on by Fox Old Third. The County Magistrate Zhao he followed was the brother-in-law of Commander Yao. Although he was a relative of Commander Yao, he was still an upright and capable person and did not approve of civil war.

The conspiracy of the foreigners is as obvious as lice on a bald head. Not to mention for the sake of domestic stability, even for the sake of one's own interests, one cannot be the first to fire a shot. By the time the north is in chaos, there will be plenty of people who will take advantage of the situation.

County Magistrate Zhao also went in person to persuade his brother-in-law, but Commander Yao was like a possessed person and did not listen at all. He even started recruiting soldiers.

Regardless of what the people below thought, they directly sent a group of soldiers down. Even if County Magistrate Zhao wanted to stop them, he had no way to do so. After all, the people under his command did not dare to confront the army head-on.

In the end, he could only delay those people in the name of hospitality, and secretly sent people to notify the villages under his jurisdiction to ask the young and strong people in their families to hide as much as possible.

This is his territory, and those soldiers here have to give him some face. Besides, it is not like the ancient times where they would kill and burn people if they couldn't recruit soldiers. As long as people hide, they will leave if they can't catch them.

His county has a small population to begin with. If the young people were conscripted and only the elderly, the weak, women and children were left, who knows how many families would be wiped out in the future. Anyway, he is in charge and no one can do anything to him.

As for what happens in other counties, he doesn't care. Even if he wants to, he can't.

Because of this, the mountains on Xiao Yun's side were no longer peaceful. Where could the villagers hide? They couldn't leave their hometown, right? If they did, they might be caught as soon as they left the village.

In the village, people might write you a receipt and give you some subsidies if you die. But if you really run away, you will become a refugee and be taken away directly. No one will notify your family if you die.

So there was only one choice, which was to run up the mountain.

Although there are many mountains here, only the Lotus Mountain where Xiao Yun is located is the highest and largest. There were bandits there before, which means that people can survive there. Therefore, more and more people are on the mountain, and they are getting closer and closer to where Xiao Yun and the others are.

Also because there were too many people, the wild boars, black bears and tigers roaming around did not dare to show up easily and hid in the mountains.

Xiao Yun had no choice but to pack up the wooden house, and then packed up all the inappropriate things in the stone houses, and then took Bai Qiu and Xiao Erhei down the mountain.

They also have a place to go when they go down the mountain, they can just go directly to Lao Hei and his wife.

As for why Lao Hei didn't need to hide in the mountains, in order not to be conspicuous, he appeared in the image of a forty or fifty-year-old. There was no need to change much. He already had a face full of untidy beard, so he just needed to dress a little more old-fashioned.

As for GunGun, it is quite normal for a rich old landlord to marry a young wife.

At that time, people in their forties and fifties were no longer considered to be in their prime like in later generations. They were already considered old. Those who got married early had seen three generations of their family, and their grandchildren were already quite grown up.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei went there to seek refuge in the name of their children. Well, it’s not really seeking refuge, it’s more like going home.

The old Hei couple are outsiders themselves, and they have always told others that their child is in their hometown and was not able to come with them because he was too young. This is also to pave the way for Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei, and now they just use this excuse.

Bai Qiu pretended to be their aunt and sent them here specially.

Of course, the reason for not bringing guards was because of conscription. What would happen if they were all conscripted even if they brought guards?

When coming down from Lianhua Mountain to Dawang Village, one has to pass by Xiaowang Village first. This is Xiao Yun's first time here. She and Xiao Erhei appear to be looking around, but in fact their spiritual sense has already taken in a general overview of the entire area, including the Liang family.

I happened to hear the conversation between the Liang family. It turned out that Liang Yaozu, as the only able-bodied man in the Liang family, was afraid of being captured and hid himself, but he went up the mountain with his servants.

He originally wanted to go to the county to join his sister and brother-in-law, but he was afraid that the village would not be able to recruit those people and would have to recruit soldiers in the county. It would be too late to hide by then, so he finally followed the villagers up the mountain.

Now only the elderly, the weak, women and children are left in the Liang family, and the servants are all maids and old women.

The atmosphere in the village was not cheerful but it was okay. Many people were walking around outside, the old people were gathered together talking, and the children didn't know what was going on and were still playing together.

When the old people saw a stranger entering the village, they were alert at first, but then they relaxed when they saw that it was a woman with two children aged three or four.

An old lady who likes to meddle in other people's affairs asked directly: "Whose relatives are you? I know every family in this village. I can call you."

Bai Qiu, holding a child in each hand, smiled at the old lady and said, "Thank you, Auntie. Is this Dawang Village? We are going to Xiong Laohei's house."

"Hey, you're going to Dawang Village, right? This is Xiaowang Village. You still have to go north, and you'll arrive after two more intersections."

Bai Qiu smiled again and said, "Then we are on the right track. Thank you, Auntie."

After saying that, he led Xiao Yun and the other person and continued walking north. When they passed by a child who looked at them curiously, Xiao Erhei couldn't help but make a face at them, which made them stunned.

Looking at their backs, another old lady smacked her lips and said, "Mr. Xiong...are they going to the black landlord's house?"

The old lady who had just spoken looked at her and said, "Really? I was just wondering which family in Dawang Village had the surname Xiong. It turns out it's his family. I had forgotten his surname."

Lao Hei looks too much like Zhang Fei, and he is dark-skinned, so everyone gave him the nickname Black Zhang Fei. After all, he is a black landlord, and those who don’t know him might think his surname is Hei.
