At this moment, the Su family heard the noise and gathered in the main room.

Su Zhihao glanced at the crowd and said, "There is a rebellion in Yunzhou Prefecture. They have occupied the capital of Yuzhou Prefecture and are expected to come to our side soon."

When the Su family heard this, their faces changed. For a moment, everyone in the Su family hall was stunned.

Old Madam Su looked at the stunned people and said in a deep voice, "What are you all standing there for! Go pack your things quickly, take the important things first, and then we'll leave."

Everyone came back to their senses after being called back to their rooms to pack up.

Li Hongmei turned back to her room to pack her things, but her legs were weak and she fell. Su Guoguo helped her mother up and comforted her, "Mom, it's okay! Don't be afraid! We are all here." She knew her mother was panicking.

Li Hongmei calmed down, shook her daughter's hand, stood up straight, and quickly went back to the house to pack up. She thought: There's no point in being afraid! I should hurry up and pack up!

Su Zhihao took this opportunity to call Mrs. Su, Zhou Huilan, and Su Yuanyuan together, and told them that he and Su Andong wanted to escape to the north, and analyzed the reasons with them. After listening, they agreed with Su Andong's idea, and they also thought so. In this way, the escape direction was determined.

After a while, Su Anping, Su Ankang and Su Anyuan came back, followed by Zhou Lizheng, Old Lady Zhao and Li Chunsheng.

Su Zhihao looked at the few people and told them what happened in the capital city.

Before they could fully react, Su Zhihao continued, "My father decided to flee to the north." He looked at them and explained, "First, although we can get to the capital by going west, the capital is very strict and will not accept refugees. Also, the normal way to get to the capital is to go south first and then west. Second, going west is close to the sea, and there might be pirates near the sea. Third, there are troops in the north, and they are more reliable."

Su Anping reacted and walked out of the house while saying, "Listen to my third brother. He is definitely right." He had to go out and pack up quickly because there was still some food in the cellar.

Su Zhihao stopped Su Anping and said, "Uncle, help me feed and water the mule I rode back."

"Okay, okay, leave it to me, don't worry!"

Su Ankang and Su Anyuan also said, "Eldest brother is right! Let's listen to third brother." After that, they walked out of the main room and went to pack their things.

Zhou Lizheng looked at Su Zhihao and said, "My child! Our home is gone just like that!"

Su Zhihao said very bluntly: "Grandfather, you can only have a home if you keep your life. How can you have a home if you lose your life? Those rioters came but they didn't care about so many things. They didn't care whether this was your home or not!"

When Zhou Lizheng heard this, he clapped his hands, said nothing, and turned around and walked out of the Su family. He was the head of the village, and no matter whether others escaped or not, he had to inform the villagers first!

Old Mrs. Zhao was very happy and said to Su Zhihao directly: "Child, my family will go with yours. I'm going home to pack my things first." After that, she got up and walked out.

Su Zhihao stopped Mrs. Zhao and said, "Grandma Zhao, my father will buy two mules soon. I wonder if your family would like one."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was delighted and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I'll go home and get the money."

"Don't worry, go home and pack your things first!"

Old Mrs. Zhao responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay." Then she turned and left the house.

Li Chunsheng, who was standing by, also quickly expressed his attitude: "My family will go with yours."

Su Zhihao responded, "Okay. Then Uncle Li, does your family need a mule?"

When Li Chunsheng heard that there was also a share for his family, he was very happy and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes! I'll send the money over in a while. I'll go home and pack my things first."

Su Zhihao: "It's important to pack your things. You can make up the money later. Go back and tell your family to pack their things!"

Li Chunsheng agreed and hurried back home.

After seeing off a few people, Su Zhihao also joined the Su family in packing up their things.

When Su Zhihao went to the backyard, he saw his uncle and second uncle had driven the ox cart to the backyard and were now loading grain onto the cart. Su Zhihao joined the team carrying grain. The Su family knew that Su Zhihao was very strong and was anxious at this time, so Su Anping and Su Ankang did not stop him.

Fortunately, the Su family now has a cow, four mules, and four carriages, otherwise they would not be able to accommodate everything.

Su Ankang looked at the ox cart full of grain and sighed in his heart: My third brother is really smart. If I hadn't bought a mule and a carriage when I went to the county last time, we would definitely not be able to fit all the things at home.

The Su family’s grain could not be loaded onto an ox cart, so they used a mule cart, which was barely enough.

The women in the front yard were also packing their things and moving them onto the mule cart.

Old Madam Su looked at Li Hongmei and her daughter who were loading a kang cabinet onto the mule cart and said, "Why load a cabinet? Put some useful things in it. This kang cabinet is heavy and takes up a lot of space. There is no place to put all this clutter."

Li Hongmei said somewhat aggrievedly: "Mom, this is a new cabinet." This kang cabinet was made by Li Hongmei last winter, and she was reluctant to part with it.

Old Mrs. Su said firmly, "It doesn't matter whether it's new or old. You need necessities. Do you know what necessities are? Food and clothing are necessities. You might as well load a pickle jar on the car."

Li Hongmei knew that what Mrs. Su said was right. She knew in her heart that the kang cabinet was useless, but she just couldn't bear to give it up. This time, she listened to Mrs. Su's words and had to give it up.

Zhao Yun heard the conversation between the two and threw the old quilt that she was about to carry to the car on the ground. There was no room for the new quilt! Why would she need the old quilt?

After figuring out the direction, the Su family began to load the important things into the car.

In the study, Su Zhibo looked at this book, then that book, and he couldn't bear to put down any of them.

Su Yuanyuan looked at his tangled expression and drove him out of the study, saying, "Second brother, go help somewhere else. I'll pack up the books."

Su Zhibo knew that his younger sister understood these things, and also knew that he didn't know how to clean up. He agreed and left the study, handed the study to Su Yuanyuan, and went to help somewhere else.

Su Yuanyuan picked up the books necessary for the imperial examination and kept only one copy of each. The ones she kept were all textbooks, and she didn't want the others. She thought that she would find an opportunity to put the other books into the space later.

There was a noise outside, and Su Yuanyuan knew it was her father who came back.

As soon as Su Anton came back and got off the mule cart, he was surrounded by villagers at the door before he even entered the yard.

At this time, the villagers had already been informed by Zhou Lizheng about what happened in the capital. Some believed it, some were hoping for the best, and some were clamoring to tell their relatives in other villages. There were all kinds of people.
