Chapter 919 Time is not for me (1)
An Yu waved his hand and asked the army to stop because he felt a few breaths in the courtyard behind the side wall, which were very disordered, as if he was frightened.
"You two come and see what's going on inside!" An Yu arranged two subordinates to say.
The door of the courtyard was not locked, and the soldier opened it with a slight push. The door bolt was lying on the ground, and the break was broken very new, just like it had just broken.
There were several old men in the courtyard. When they saw two soldiers pushing the door in, they were so scared that they quickly retreated into the house. An old man shouted: "We don't know anything! This town has been abandoned for a long time! There is nothing here. If you don't believe it, you can search it yourself... and search it yourself!"
"Why are you so polite to these bear cubs? We are old people who are alive for a few days!" An old woman said angrily: "Are you still afraid that they will succeed?"
There was a bustling crowd in the house, as if there was some dispute.
The soldier shouted, "Hello, old man! We are not Maha people, we are Songshui Army! We are from Milai! Lord An is outside, let's come in and take a look!"
"Hey, listen, it's the accent of our Songshui people!"
"Songshui Army? Is it the Songshui Army?"
"What did he say? City Lord An is outside? Which City Lord An? Is he... a great benefactor?"
However, the old woman looked out through the crack in the window in surprise, without saying a word, but her faint eyes could not see clearly what was outside.
"What's wrong with you?"
The old woman shook away the person who pulled her, walked to the door staggeringly, and opened the door happily and timidly, her eyes fixed on the soldier in front.
"Woo...you, you are...you are...the second child of the old Chen family?"
The soldier's body trembled and looked at the old woman covered in dust in disbelief. He seemed to have a little impression in a trance, but he just couldn't remember who this person was. She nodded in confusion and said, "I am Chen Sheng, my nickname is indeed Erwa. I don't know you are..."
"Erwazi! You are indeed Erwazi!" The old woman ran forward excitedly and almost fell down. Fortunately, Chen Sheng's support. She held Chen Sheng's hand tightly and trembled involuntarily. Two lines of tears rolled down: "I am your aunt. A few years ago, you came to see me in this town!"
Chen Sheng was stunned for a while before he realized: "Auntie... it's you! It's really you!"
Chen Sheng is from Songbei Town. Songbei Town is 200 miles away from Yifeng Town. In such a world with inconvenient transportation, the distance between 200 miles is already very far. Therefore, from birth to growth to the age of 22, he only met this aunt a few times. Although he had met this aunt a few years ago, he had forgotten it a long time ago. What really made him feel familiar is that this aunt and his grandmother looked 70 to 80%.
At this time, several other old people in the house also came out and saw that they were not Maha people, but Milai people, as if they had seen their relatives.
"It's Milai, it's really Milai!"
After recounting for a while, Chen Sheng suddenly became shocked. He brought the order from the city lord to investigate. He asked, "Auntie, what happened here? Why are you all hiding in this small courtyard? Didn't the residents of the town have moved to Songbei Town a few years ago?"
"At that time, your aunt had just gone, and I wanted to mourn him... Most of them were for the same reason, so they stayed!" The old woman suddenly said "ah" and said anxiously: "I forgot to tell you that there was a Maha army heading south just now, and there were many people!" She pointed to the broken door bolt on the ground: "The door was broken by them!"
"It was the Maha people who forced you here? Why did they treat you? I will definitely not let them go..."
"Erwazi, don't worry! I am an old woman and these old men. What can the Maha people do to us? We have no food and don't know what is happening outside. They shouted a few times and left! There are no other people in the town, and the Maha people can't get anything!"
"Then...what do you eat these days?"
"We have food reserves. Xiang Junwai of Songbei Town will send people to deliver food every month. The Maha people didn't know and thought we were begging for food!"
"Auntie, come with us to Songshui City. It's safe and I can take care of you too!"
"No, we old guys are all dragging us down. You still have to hit the Maha people, or you still focus on hitting the Maha people. Don't worry about us. We have been here for the rest of our lives and will not leave!"
An Yu had excellent hearing, and he could hear the conversations in the courtyard clearly. He dismounted and walked into the courtyard and said, "Auntie, you should listen to Chen Sheng. If you stay here, I'm afraid Chen Sheng will not be able to concentrate on hitting the Maha people at that time!"
"Who is this young man?" The old people all looked at An Yu.
"Ah, this is the Lord of the City! Lord of the City!" Chen Sheng quickly introduced.
"You are the great benefactor! An Yu! The great benefactor is here, and our family is saved!" The old people were excited. They still remember when they met An Yu before, the latter was still a teenager. Several years have passed, and they are much taller, but they still look like they used to be.
"Great benefactor, you want to drive away the Maha people! You can drive them away!"
"When the great benefactor comes, all of them will be saved!"
An Yu responded quickly, but his heart became heavier. He was trusted, expected, and placed with high expectations. Such a burden cannot tolerate failure. Can Maha's army really resist it?
"Chen Sheng, go to the town to see if there are any other carriages and ox carriages. You are responsible for sending them safely to Songbei Town! This is an order!"
"Yes! Lord City Lord!" Chen Sheng was pleased and trotted into the town.
"We old bones, who have been here for so many years, can take care of ourselves. How can we bother you? No, no, we can't go!"
An Yu held the old woman's hand and said, "It won't be troublesome. Chen Sheng's family is in Songbei Town. I heard that his grandma is here too. Don't you want to see your sister again?" Seeing the nostalgic look in the old man's eyes, An Yu said, "Grandpas, your relatives should also be in Songbei Town. I will ask Chen Sheng to send you there. The people there are our family!"
An Yu is like a great man in the hearts of the people in the Three Towns. Since he has made such a sincere request, these old men will naturally not refuse.
An Yu asked briefly again and found out that just over an hour ago, a cavalry of Maha had about 10,000 people heading south through here. Because he was afraid of taking the wrong path, he asked these old men for directions and said he was going to Songshui City.
