There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 10

[Chapter 10, Encountering Obstacles]

two days after encountering obstacles, Daohua and his party entered the territory of Zhongzhou Prefecture.

Daohua originally thought that after entering Zhongzhou Mansion. The road will be smoother, but I didn’t expect that there are more and more refugees on the road.

“Why are there more and more refugees here?”

Xiao Yeyang snorted coldly: “Why else, it must be that the officials here don’t do anything, and the corpse is a vegetarian.” Daohua

glanced at him and didn’t say anything. quite agreeable.

The common people suffer because of the inaction of the officials.

However, Yan Wentao on the side was not happy: “You can’t kill everyone with a single shot. It’s good to have many officials.” The

old lady Yan also nodded: “That’s right, boy Yang, you haven’t done a field investigation, so it’s still a good idea.” Don’t talk nonsense.”

Daohua knew that her grandmother and third brother were speaking for her father, the seventh-rank county magistrate, so she thought for a while and interrupted the conversation: “The little sixth brother came to tell me that the escort agency has entered Fucheng is going to be separated from us.”

Mrs. Yan frowned, “There is still a long distance between Zhongzhou Prefecture and Linyi County.” As for the old and the young, it might not be peaceful to go on the road alone. .

Daohua was also a little worried about the safety on the road, so she said, “Grandmother, how about this, after we enter Fucheng, don’t leave, write to Linyi County, and ask my father to send someone to pick us up.”

Along the way, the refugee They have seen and heard about robbery and even murder. For safety’s sake, it’s better to be more cautious.

Old Madam Yan nodded: “That’s a good idea, let’s do it this way.”

Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou again: “I’m going to Fucheng soon, do you two have any plans?”

Hearing this, both of them pursed their lips in silence.

Xiao Yeyang has a way, he can directly go to the government office, if the people in the government office know his identity, they will definitely send him back to the capital respectfully.

But if he did this, he would be unable to hide the fact that he was abducted by human traffickers. If those people in the capital knew about it, he would be ashamed and humiliated.

As for Zhao Ergou, he simply didn’t know what to do. He was sold by his family, and even if he was found back, he would still be sent to be a foster husband.

Seeing them like this, Old Madam Yan’s heart softened, and she sighed: “Go into the city, and we’ll figure out a way after we enter the city.” After the

grandmother spoke, Daohua didn’t ask any more questions.

Near noon, Qin Xiaoliu of the Escort suddenly came to Daohua’s carriage with a hurried expression.

“Little Sixth Brother, why are you here? Are you going to enter Fucheng?” Daohua asked with a smile.

This time when they left home, Old Madam Yan prepared a lot of food, and during this period of time, they often sent it to the Escort Bureau. After going back and forth, they quickly became familiar with Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu shook his head, with a serious expression on his face: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter Fucheng today.”

Daohua was surprised: “What happened again?”

Qin Xiaoliu told the news that the escort agency had inquired: “Last year , Several provinces in the north have suffered severe drought, and the capital of Zhongzhou is close to the Grand Canal, so the drought is not serious, which has led to a large number of refugees rushing here.”

“When there are too many refugees, accidents will inevitably happen. No, the place that must pass through to Fucheng has been occupied by a group of refugees in the past two days, and the government is trying to solve it, but they don’t know when it will be resolved.” The

old lady Yan was anxious, and snapped She lowered her thigh: “What’s the matter!” Daohua held Mrs.   Yan

‘s arm, comforted her, and looked at Qin Xiaoliu: “Brother Xiaoliu, what are you going to do with the bodyguard?”

The old lady and the others all looked at Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu looked apologetic: “There is a time limit for us to send the darts. Brother Wu said that we should take a detour into Fucheng because we have to walk a long mountain road, so we may not be able to continue to take you with us.”

Qin Xiaoliu Wu’s original words are: They are old and young, and their pace is too slow. The mountain road is difficult to walk. If you take them with you, you may not be able to deliver the goods within the stipulated time. If there are any accidents on the road, people have to be sent to protect them, which will greatly increase everyone’s burden.

Hearing this, the eyes of Mrs. Yan and Uncle Sun’s mother suddenly darkened.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang also lowered their heads.

Yan Wentao and Zhao Ergou looked at each other.

Everyone’s heart was very heavy. Without escorts to protect them, they went on the road alone, fearing that they would be robbed if they didn’t go far.

It is good to lose money, but if you meet someone who is cruel, you may lose your life.

Seeing them like this, the apology on Qin Xiaoliu’s face became deeper and deeper: “Old lady, I’m sorry.”

Old lady Yan forced a smile: “There is no need to say sorry, the old lady is already very grateful that you can take us this way. The Escort Bureau delivers the goods with the Escort, it’s your food, you can’t delay it, you should do it this way.”

Saying that, she glanced at Grandma Sun.

After receiving the signal, Mama Sun immediately took out a pack of jerky from the carriage.

Mrs. Yan handed the jerky to Qin Xiaoliu: “My old lady’s kindness, thank you for taking care of me during this time.”

Qin Xiaoliu waved his hands again and again, feeling more and more uncomfortable: “No need, we usually eat enough There are too many.” The

old lady Yan pretended to be dissatisfied: “Why, you dislike the things the old lady gave you?” After speaking, she directly stuffed the jerky into Qin Xiaoliu’s hands.

Holding the jerky, Qin Xiaoliu turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Old Madam Yan slapped her thigh fiercely: “It’s all my fault, old woman, what can I do if I have nothing to do, I have to go on the road alone, now I’m fine, I’m blocked on the road.”

“Grandma, what are you doing!” Daohua and Yan Wentao rushed over at the same time, holding the old lady’s hands from left to right.

The old lady Yan looked at her granddaughter and grandson with a face full of self-blame: “If grandma hadn’t insisted on separating from your third uncle, how would such a thing happen now.”

Daohua pulled the old lady: “If grandma wants to blame, blame me. It’s not that you want us to learn more, why do you need to suffer so much?”

Yan Wentao didn’t know what to say, so he could only nod along: “That’s right.” The

old lady Yan sighed: “What should we do now? Daohua

frowned, and looked around, at this moment, the escorts were still packing their things and hadn’t left yet, and the nearby refugees didn’t dare to come, but once the escorts left, they didn’t know what was waiting for them.

After thinking about it, Dao Hua quickly jumped out of the carriage: “Grandmother, wait for me.” After speaking, she ran towards Qin Xiaoliu.

“Brother Xiaoliu!”

Seeing Daohua approaching, Qin Xiaoliu immediately put down the things in his hands: “Daohua, what’s the matter?”

Daohua pulled Qin Xiaoliu and said in a low voice: “Brother Xiaoliu, can you help me?” Shall we get some clothes for refugees?”

Qin Xiaoliu glanced at Qin Wu, who was looking at them at the moment.

Daohua knew that Qin Wu was in charge of the escort agency, and immediately took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine: “I’ll pay you.”

Qin Wu glanced at Daohua: “Take it back, it’s just a few clothes, Xiaoliu will give it to you later. You sent it over there.”

Hearing this, Daohua was overjoyed: “Thank you, Fifth Uncle Qin.” Saying that, he put the hemostatic medicine in Qin Xiaoliu’s hand, and then ran away.

Qin Xiaoliu took the hemostatic medicine and looked at Qin Wu: “Fifth Brother, what should I do?”

Qin Wu glared at him: “Hurry up and get the clothes, remember, it’s better to be dirty and broken, and others will grab them if they want to.” The kind that doesn’t want to do it.”

“Oh!”

Qin Xiaoliu ran away, Qin Wu frowned and touched his face, muttering: “Xiao Liu is an older brother, why did he become Uncle Qin Wu here?” He was directly promoted by a seniority.
