Ah Fu glanced at Song Chi and asked cautiously: "Young master, do we still have to wait here?"

Song Chi didn't know what words to use to describe his mood. He hoped that He Jiuniang would be safe. , but now that he has no chance to help, he feels a little lost.

Faced with Ah Fu’s question, he himself was a little hesitant. After all, the dinner next door was not over yet. Who knew if there was really no danger?

I didn’t know whether I was angry with myself or Ah Fu, so I sat down on the stool and said, “Let’s order.”

Ah Fu didn’t expect to follow Shaodong’s family I can still have a good meal when I go out, so I happily go to the waiter to order some food.

He Jiuniang had almost finished chatting here, had a meal in peace, and then went back to the inn. Thinking of the letter she sent in the morning, she suddenly felt a little speechless. If she had known better, she would have waited. Sending them out together.

Despite this, she wrote another letter and gave it to Song Chi the next day, asking him to help find someone to send it out. This time the content of the letter was about cooperating with Cheng Xuewei. thing.

Song Chi’s face was not very good, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He Jiuniang thought that this person stayed up late to study last night, and said: "Little Doctor Song, your health is very important!"

Unexpectedly, Song Chi’s face turned even more ugly.

Afu next to him heard it and covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Last night, he and his young host originally wanted to eat and wait, but who knew that they had been having a good time there, laughing from time to time, and eventually they became like sisters. The speed of development was simply amazing. .

His young boss was so sour that he asked the waiter for a pot of wine and drank it desperately. As a result, he got drunk and refused to leave. He hugged the pillar in the restaurant and cried and cursed that person. Pillars have no heart!

Fortunately, Doctor He and Mrs. Cheng had already left at that time, otherwise his young boss’s family would have been embarrassed and disgraced.

Thinking of what happened last night, Song Chi's expression became even worse. As a result, Xin turned around and left without even speaking to He Jiuniang.

He Jiuniang was a little confused, but she didn’t think too much and quickly got back to work.

Lu Baichuan went to Anzhou and visited various places hosting refugees, but there was still no whereabouts of the Lu family.

He did not believe in evil and came all the way back to Changzhou from Anzhou.

Returned to my hometown in Changzhou.

He came back specially to tidy up his yard before, but when he came back after such a long time, it was covered with dust again.

Only this time, he didn’t clean it up again.

Standing under the pillar with writing on it again, Lu Baichuan murmured: "Mom and Dad, if you are not in Anzhou, where will you go?"

He has never thought about his family members He will go to Jingzhou, because Jingzhou only accepts the old, weak, sick and disabled. He knows his family well. As long as they are alive, they will not leave separately. Therefore, Jingzhou will not be their destination.

Jinzhou, the capital of the country, also did not accept refugees. The emperor did not dare to allow too many refugees to disrupt order.

As for other state capitals, I have not heard of them accepting refugees, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in.

The Lu family, young and old, are either dead or suffering in some difficult place.

When Lu Baichuan thought of these possibilities, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

It had already rained when King Chen personally came to provide relief, and the disaster in Changzhou had been resolved. Now spring has just arrived, and everything is sprouting. It is no longer like the last time he came back. , it is a withered yellow color.

Even many refugees who had no way to survive returned to the land where they had lived for many years and continued to make a living.

But in Lujia Village, all households were completely wiped out, and not a single person came back.

Just as I was thinking about it, two carriages passed by, with a family from the next village sitting inside. I saw the door of the courtyard was open. I thought there were still people alive in Lujia Village, so I came in to join in the fun, but I saw the courtyard. There stood a man dressed in black with a long sword hanging on his waist. Not far away, there was another man standing under a pillar in a daze. The old man who led the way in was startled and apologized hurriedly: "I went to the wrong place. I went to the wrong place." , I’m so sorry!”

Lu Baichuan glanced at Lou Chong, and then said: “Old man, please stay!”

This old man’s family is a wealthy family in the next village. During the drought, he had richer relatives in his home county, so he went to join them.

The poorest people are always the most affected by natural disasters and man-made disasters. The damage to some wealthy families is not too serious. As long as you have money, you can naturally buy water. This family is lucky and did not follow everyone else. After fleeing the famine, the whole family was still intact.

The old man turned around and asked with an apologetic smile: "Is something wrong, sir?"

Lu Baichuan was wearing a mask. He couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but he knew he was not Ordinary people, so the smile on his face is more flattering.

It’s hard to escape the bad years, but you can’t provoke the wrong people on the way home and bring trouble to yourself.

"Old man, do you know this family? Do you know where they have gone?"

Lu Baichuan did not want to reveal his identity, so he could only think of himself asoutsider.

"How do we know each other? I just heard that all the people in Lujia Village died on the way to escape the desert. When I saw the door of this house open, I thought someone was alive and wanted to come in and have a look. I didn't expect a collision..."

"What did you say?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Baichuan interrupted him and asked eagerly: "Lujiacun Are all the people dead?"

"Yes! This was all known to the government when they collected the corpses before. The people in Lujia Village are really miserable. On the way to Liujia Town When we met the bandits, they were all killed. Their corpses were piled up in piles. When the officials arrived, they were all turned into bones. However, we still found some personal belongings from some of them, and then we found out that they were from Lujiacun."

The old man spoke eloquently. Their family had heard a lot about it when they were in the county town. They were glad more than once that their family did not flee the famine, otherwise they might have ended up with the Lu family.

Lu Baichuan was stunned in disbelief. All his family members were lost in the hands of rogue bandits?

They didn’t even reach Changzhou Fucheng, but died on the village road outside Liujia Town.

Is that so?

No, impossible!

He grabbed the old man's sleeve and said, "How can you be sure that the Lu family is really dead? Maybe there are still people alive?"

"Yes, But the chances are slim! With such a huge pile of corpses, most of them belong to men. Women and children were taken away by bandits. In the hands of those demons who kill people and drink blood, do you think they can still survive? Alas!"

At this time, the old man’s son rushed forward and said: “If you don’t believe it, you can go and see the bandit’s den, which is in the east mountain. Later, I heard that another group of bandits came to the bandit’s den. We killed all the original bandits and robbed them of their food and money, and the government couldn't control them. We heard what others said."

Lou rushed forward and gave Lu Baichuan a hand. Then he came back to his senses and apologized: "Sorry, I got angry the next moment and offended you."
