The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 123 Arriving at a Small Town

Old Mrs. Shi looked at her daughter cursing and swearing, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her. She had never been so annoyed with her old daughter as she was now!

Last night, she was with her daughter and almost killed her! If she hadn't been so determined, she would have been suffocated by her daughter's fart! Now Mrs. Shi doesn't think that her daughter will be able to get married in the future. She will definitely be eating free meals at home!

And through this illness, she also realized that her daughter was not filial and did not know how to take care of her! So she would have to rely on her son and daughter-in-law for her retirement!

In this way, everyone stayed here for a day and set out again the next day. Even if some families' quilts were not dried yet, they had no choice but to continue on their journey.

After leaving the village and traveling for almost half a month, we finally saw a relatively small town, so everyone decided to stay here for a day. Those who needed something at home could go into the city to see if they could buy anything they needed.

Li Qiuge observed the small town. There were soldiers guarding outside, which meant there were still people in the town. Maybe they didn't know about the massacre of Dazi Village, or the refugees behind them hadn't arrived yet. Li Qiuge didn't know.

Although this small town is not too far from the border, Da Zi's hand has not yet reached here, so the people here are still like normal people.

Moreover, there were not many villagers left alive after the massacre. There were only a few thousand people from the village who came to escape, some of whom had taken refuge with relatives, and some had gone to other places. In fact, not many people could come here. Besides, they were not rich, and they often saw refugees everywhere, so they had not yet attracted the attention of the court. Even if they saw refugees entering the city, they would not think much of it.

Besides, Da Zi’s spies have now secretly come to the Eastern Jin Kingdom to massacre the village, and the war has not officially started yet.

When everyone arrived outside the small town, some villagers didn't want to leave anymore and found the village chief. "Village chief, this small town looks quite safe. Why don't we stay here temporarily? It will take another month to reach Yundu City! If we can stay here, we can travel less when we return to the village." The men who were talking came to Village Chief Shi to discuss.

"Yes, village chief, you see there are soldiers guarding this city, it must be very safe, why don't we find a place to settle down!" They didn't feel it when they were at home before, but now that they have gone out, they realize how difficult it is to go out. Moreover, they also think in their hearts that this small town is not far from their village. If they rush to Yundu City, it will really be regarded as leaving their hometown!

Several village heads and villagers were looking outside the city. They were also tempted, but they knew they had to think carefully before making a decision. After all, they didn't know the situation in the city, and it was not easy to settle down. Where would they live?

Finally, the village heads decided to send a few people to the city to check out the situation. If any villagers wanted to settle down, they would not stop them. It was up to the villagers to decide for themselves.

"Da Lang, now that the villagers have seen this small city, they don't want to continue on their journey. What do you think we should do? Should we stay here first, or continue on our journey?" Village chief Shi found Shi Da Lang and wanted to hear his opinion.

"Village chief, this small Zhoucheng is not very big. If so many of us want to stay, there is no place to live. But I don't object to the villagers who want to stay. You see there are soldiers stationed at the city gate, which means it is safe inside. Besides, our village is too close to the border, so the spies of Da Zi dare to come and kill people. I think the spies of Da Zi in this city have not come yet and will kill people at will. Besides, we have been out for so long, the local officials should have known about the massacre in our village, and the court should be sending people here. The Da Zi should be honest for a while." Shi Dalang said to the village chief.

"Da Lang, what do you mean, should we stay or not?" Village Chief Shi continued to think about Shi Da Lang's intention.

“Village chief Shi, I suggest you discuss with the village chiefs of several villages. If any villagers want to stay in this small state capital, that’s fine. You can send someone to inquire about our Shijia Village in a few days. If officers and soldiers start to send troops to protect us and there is no cholera there, we can go back to the village. But our family has to continue on the journey to Yundu City.” Shi Dalang did not object to the people from several villages staying in this small state capital for the time being.

"Da Lang, what you said makes sense. Then I will go and inform the village heads of several villages. They can decide whether to go or stay. " Village head Shi also felt that it was too heavy a burden on his shoulders if he always had to lead the villagers of those two villages. After all, it was good enough for him to manage his own village well, so he did not plan to take care of the affairs of other villages.

"Da Lang, when do you plan to set off?" Village chief Shi was still undecided. Should his family follow Shi Da Lang's plan and go to Yundu City or stay here?

"Village chief, my wife and I are going to the city to take a look at the situation. We may stay for a day or two." Shi Dalang stated his plan.

Shi Dalang wanted to inquire with his people about the situation in Shijia Village. If there were troops coming there, he would suggest that Village Chief Shi and his men stay here and then return to Shijia Village.

After hearing what Shi Dalang said, Village Chief Shi knew that he still had time to think about it, so he went to tell the other two village chiefs about the current situation, and then told the people of Shijia Village what to do. They could make their own decisions. He was just a small village chief. He couldn't take care of so many things. As long as everyone could return to Shijia Village after the situation was stable, he would be satisfied.

Shi Dalang came to Li Qiuge and told her that he wanted to go to the city to find out some news. By the way, they could also go to the city to buy some things they would need on the road.

Li Qiuge agreed very much. They had been walking in the woods and on small paths along the way. Finally, they saw a small town, so of course she had to go for a walk.

So Li Qiuge, Shi Dalang and a group of people drove a donkey cart and spent three cents each to go to Xiaozhou City.

Village Chief Shi, the elders of the same village, and the heads of the other two villages told everyone about his and Shi Dalang's ideas. Everyone agreed, and now no one forced it. The villagers had to flee together. Those who wanted to stay could stay, and those who wanted to continue to Yundu City could continue on their way. They respected everyone's wishes.

Now that the village heads have told everyone the news, the villagers from each household are discussing what to do, so many villagers are starting to want to go to the city to see the situation.

The villagers who stayed behind outside were also looking for a suitable place to set up tents, prepare meals, and wait for news from their families.

This group of people did not block the road, but settled in a place in each village, so no soldiers came to drive them away.
