The next day, seven or eight carriages were parked neatly outside the school. Four of them were hired by the school, and the rest belonged to students' families.

Behind the carriage there was a cart carrying grain.

It was the first time for the little carrot heads to participate in such an event as making porridge, and they had to leave Chongzhou City. It looked like a picnic no matter how they looked at it.

Therefore, there was a lot of noise in front of the school. Every elementary school student was loved by his parents, who were afraid that they would be hungry.

The teacher came out of the school. Li Xingsang stood halfway up the steps, holding a roll call book in his hand.

The little boy bowed to the teacher solemnly, "Teacher, all the students are here, only An An is missing..."

The always serious little boy paused and subtly made excuses for Tuanzi, "Maybe she got up late?"

It’s normal for a four-year-old to sleep a little longer, right?

His sister likes to stay in bed...

The old teacher nodded, and obviously did not want to blame his elementary school students who had not yet arrived. He just asked the students to take their good things and get on the carriage together.

At this moment, the sound of armor colliding and orderly footsteps approached, and the dull sound stepped on the tip of every little carrot head's heart.

At the corner of the long street, a team of well-trained black-armored soldiers ran towards the school, with a two-horse carriage in the middle of the team.

It's Jiang Antuanzi's carriage...

Among the solemn black-armored soldiers, Jiang An, with her aho-hair on her head, opened the small window and stuck half of her head out. From afar, only her childish voice could be heard mixed in with the crisp sound of armor.

"Master, is An An late?"

Qi Shanyuan hurriedly pulled Tuanzi back into the carriage, "An'an, be careful not to catch a cold."

The students did not get on the carriages, and there were loud exclamations. The passion in the young boy's heart was aroused by the black armor of the black-armored soldier.

Every young man has the dream of becoming a general!

The black-armored soldiers did not stop the carriages approaching the school gate. Instead, they divided into two groups under the command of Zheng Lu, the leader, to surround the carriages.

Zheng Lu had a serious face, and he was also wearing armor, but not the black armor of a soldier. He walked towards the Master, holding his sword and clasping his fists,

It was still the same face that we usually see. In the past, he stood beside Tuanzi and restrained his claws, but today he showed his sharp edge.

"I am following the order of the prince to lead the personal soldiers to protect the safety of the young lady and all the students in the academy!"

The teacher nodded, and the tension in his eyes faded a little. He had just learned last night that a riot had occurred in a county government office outside the city...

The Master stood at the gate of the vermilion city and bowed solemnly to the man at the bottom of the steps, "Thank you, Lord Zhenguo."

Zheng Su immediately dodged to the side, "Master, your words are too serious!"

Zhengyan, who was guarding the eldest lady's carriage, clicked his tongue twice. This job was only suitable for his brother, as he found the rules troublesome!

In the carriage, Tuanzi was like a nimble loach. He took advantage of Qi Shanyuan's inattention to open the small window and waved his little hand towards the Master.

"Master, An An wasn't late on purpose, it was Dad who didn't let Niang Niang call me!"

Qi Shanyuan, who was holding Tuanzi in the carriage to prevent her from falling, twitched his lips.

Aren't you the one who has been humming and whining and refusing to get up?

The master who heard the noise laughed out loud, "Okay, I won't punish you, don't worry!"

Oh, no penalty.

Jiang An chuckled, and then quickly retreated back, and then came out again when no one expected it.

"An An's carriage is very wide, come on! Come on!"

The door of one of the carriages in the team opened with a bang, and Huo Changming rushed out, leaving his own carriage behind, and ran towards the carriage surrounded by the black-armored soldiers, not forgetting to take Li Xingsang with him.

Li Xingsang: "Let me go, I'll just ride in my own carriage!"

Huo Changming: "Hey, Li Xingsang, don't be shy!"

Li Xingsang:!

The little boy's face turned red. "I'm being polite, not shy. Do you know how to use words?"

Huo Changming relied on his strong body to drag the man into the carriage, "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

How to listen, how to perfunctory~

After everything was ready, Zhenglu mounted his horse, grabbed the reins with his big hand, and shouted loudly, "Let's go!"

The black-armored soldier behind him responded with a shout. Such a loud noise attracted the neighbors to come out to see what was going on. When they saw it was the black-armored soldier, they went back to sleep.

They were going to Jing County today, which was not too far from Chongzhou City. The carriage would arrive in two hours.

When we got off the bus in front of the Jing County government office, the little kids walked in a somewhat strange way.

Qi Shanyuan gently patted Jiang An, who was sleeping soundly with one foot resting on the wall of the carriage, "An An, we're here... An An!"

Huo Changming came forward and said to him, "Oh, this trick of yours won't work!"

His hand touched the small purse hanging on Tuanzi's waist, and his voice was very soft and a bit sneaky,

"Sister An An, can you lend me some money?"

"not good!"

"Ouch!"

Huo Changming covered his forehead with his hands, smiled innocently, and proudly showed off, "Look, you're awake!"

Tuanzi sat up dazedly and yawned, then tilted his head to look at Huo Changming in confusion, "Hey, brother, why are you holding your head?"

Li Xingsang, Qi Shanyuan: …

Huo Changming let go of his hand, his forehead was a little red, it was nothing serious, he shook his head and said nonsense, "Ah, I accidentally bumped into it~"

"We're in Jing County now. Let's go down quickly!"

Jiang An was carried down from the carriage by Niang Niang, still holding a hot water bottle to warm his hands.

Unlike the excited and expectant students who came here, the elementary school students stood silently beside the carriage. The black-armored soldiers on both sides separated them from the refugees.

The half-naked refugees huddled together, staring at them covetously, but they were afraid of the soldiers...

The long procession of carriages stopped in front of the county government office where the refugees were most concentrated.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang An looked at one of the refugees.

It was a hungry look, the kind of hunger that made them see people as if they were food...

She thought, she was suddenly somewhat thankful that these refugees came here in winter, their hunger and madness trapped by the cold...

In the county government office, the governor Wen Shoushi, dressed in sloppy clothes, came out. When he met the teacher, before he could exchange pleasantries,

He asked the county yamen runners to move the things downstairs.

Although the students were small, they were full of energy and did not talk or laugh.

If one person can't lift a bag of coarse rice, then two or three people can lift it together!

Even Tuanzi was carrying a large porridge spoon and heading to the county government office...

It would take some time for the porridge to cook, so the yamen runners drove them out of the smoky firewood pile.

They can do the rough work, why use these kids?

What they are holding in their hands should be pens.

A group of idiots sat on the steps of the county government office. Jiang Tuanzi sat closer to the inside, and the cold wind was blocked by Huo Changming and the others.

The entire county government office was surrounded by black-armored soldiers, and behind Jiang An were Zheng Yan and Niang Niang, who were carrying swords.

A sudden cry from the refugees broke the sorrow in front of the county government office. The child cried weakly, and every cry made people worry whether he would be able to cry out loud in the next moment.

The first person to stand up was Huo Changming. He walked towards the refugees, clutching the dry food his mother had prepared in a cloth bag. The young master wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeves.

He wouldn't cry. His father was a great general and he would be a great general in the future. A great general wouldn't cry!

The next to stand up were Li Xingsang and other students. They took out the dry food given by their parents and distributed it to the refugees in front of the county government.

Under the intimidation of the black-armored soldiers, there was no scramble, only the sound of swallowing and kowtowing in gratitude.

Listening to the noisy voices, Qi Shanyuan clenched his fists in his sleeves, but sat quietly beside Jiang An.

Suddenly, a small hand patted his arm, and he was caught off guard by An An's bright round eyes. These eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power to soothe Qi Shanyuan's heart.

Tuanzi took off the bottle from her waist and stuffed it into his hand. "You are crying so sadly, maybe you are hungry..."

"She is too young to eat solid food, this is goat milk,"

"Remember to return the bottle to An An!"

Jiang An held his little face in his hands and urged him, "Go quickly, go quickly."

Qi Shanyuan responded in a low voice and thanked him softly.

Thank you, for me and for that child.
