Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 443 The Call

When the few people met, they didn't have time to exchange greetings before they started to move things onto the carriage. Xu Han also helped with the moving.

When Xu Han and the Taoist priest saw the oversized carriage driven by Yun Hua, Xu Han secretly took out some of the things that had not been taken out of the space.

The Taoist priest twitched his lips and cursed inwardly, "This kid is really useless. How can he be so shameless? He is not afraid of emptying the house. He is so shameless."

However, Xu Han and Lu Chuan had no such intention at all. Instead, they felt that Yun Hua did not treat them as outsiders, otherwise he would not be so rude.

Naturally, the couple had no regrets about giving up these things. They were just the output from the fields and not much money.

Compared to the gifts that Zhao Yunyun and Yunhua brought back for everyone every time, it was nothing.

A husband and wife can clearly distinguish between what is more important and what is less important, and they will not care about whether it is more or less.

Neither party should treat the other as an outsider. If there is effort, there will be reward. Only then can the affection be retained.

The four of them carried the things back and forth several times and finally filled up Yunhua's oversized carriage. In the end, there were still some things left and they could not fit them any more, so the three of them had to take them home.

After everything was packed, Yunhua didn't have time to speak before he told everyone a bombshell piece of news.

"I just came from the battlefield. The next county has already fallen. The army is migrating here and should be here tomorrow at the latest."

Several people were stunned when they heard this. Although they had been prepared, they were still shocked when they heard it for the first time. No one expected that the war would come so quickly.

A month ago, Yunhua just received news that the battlefield had moved to the next county. Unexpectedly, the next county only held out for a month before it was directly breached by the enemy.

No one had expected that they would be defeated here so soon, but since it had happened, they had to face it bravely. Any struggle would be in vain.

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Xu Han spoke up, "What's coming will eventually come. You don't have to worry about us. We will stay in the mountains until the war here is over."

Yun Hua sighed and said, "I won't persuade you to leave with me. I know you must have a plan to deal with it. Besides, you live in the deep mountains. That place is hard to find and ordinary people can't find it. It's still very safe. As long as you pay a little attention, you won't be discovered."

Lu Chuan also said, "Who said it wasn't true? Don't worry! On the contrary, you should be careful when you go out. I think you have lost some weight this time. Eat more, don't just focus on the mission, and eat three meals a day on time. Don't take your health lightly."

"Hey, I get it."

Because of the tight time, everyone had no time to reminisce about the past, and Yunhua would be leaving soon.

Seeing that the Taoist priest had remained silent, the couple looked at each other and tactfully left the space for the master and disciple.

Lu Chuan walked inside holding Xu Han's hand, as if telling Xu Han that he would take care of everything and asked her to relax.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan waited for the Taoist priest in silence for a while. After about five minutes, the Taoist priest came back.

Xu Han looked back and didn't see Yunhua, so she asked, "Where's Yunhua? Is she gone?"

"Let's go, let's go back too!"

No one spoke much along the way; Lu Chuan and Xu Han seemed to be still digesting the news they had just received.

As for the Taoist priest, he is a man who has seen the world and should not be frightened by this incident, but he remained silent. I guess Yunhua must have said something to him!

The two of them didn't dare to ask, so they returned home in silence.

When they got home, it was already late. Grandpa Zhao had already prepared dinner for everyone. Seeing that the three of them looked unhappy, he didn't say anything, but just said, "You're back, let's eat quickly."

After the meal, the Taoist priest called Grandpa Zhao away. Xu Han and Lu Chuan looked at each other, said nothing, and lowered their heads to clean the table.

In the room, the Taoist priest brewed a pot of scented tea and played chess with Grandpa Zhao. After the game was over, the Taoist priest slowly said, "I met Yunhua today. It was just as I thought. My fellow apprentices are not good people. Now they have discovered something strange. I am afraid that the girl is in danger."

Grandpa Zhao raised his eyelids calmly and glanced at the Taoist priest. "What are your plans?"

"Needless to say? I will definitely protect the girl! And with their skills, it will take them at least ten or eight years to find her. Besides, I can't just stand by and watch! I asked Yunhua to give them some wrong directions, and they are even more confused."

Grandpa Zhao said seriously, "The world is in chaos right now, so it's inevitable that someone will take advantage of the situation to do something."

"Don't worry! Everything will wait until the new emperor ascends the throne. After the new emperor ascends the throne, my senior brother's life will also come to an end."

"That's the best." Grandpa Zhao said, and then asked worriedly, "What about other countries? Is there any situation there?"

"As far as I know, there isn't one yet, and other countries don't have such powerful people, so they can't find it. I've also asked Yunhua to keep an eye on this! If there is any situation, solve it immediately."

"That's fine. I've been with Xiaochuan and Xiaohan for a long time. I treat them as my own family, so I don't want anything to happen to them."

"Don't worry! I'm here. You don't need to say too much to Xiaohan and Xiaochuan. It's better for them not to know so much."

Grandpa Zhao dropped a piece and rolled his eyes at the Taoist priest. "I'm not stupid. Why are you talking about this?"

The Taoist priest smiled innocently and said, "Hehehe, that's not what I meant."

Then he continued, "I met Yunhua today, and he said that the next county has been lost, and the army is coming here."

"Oh, so fast. That's to be expected."

"I don't think it's that simple. The county next door is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It shouldn't be breached so easily. There must be something wrong."

"That's right. Logically speaking, with General Qin here, the First Prince and the Eighth Prince also here, we shouldn't lose the city so quickly."

"Then we don't know. Let's wait and see. During this period of time, we should be more alert and don't sleep too deeply. Hahahaha, our county town will be lively in the future."

Grandpa Zhao raised his eyebrows. "So are you going to show up?"

The Taoist priest took a sip of tea and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation. But I definitely can't involve the girl and Xiaochuan. They don't like these powerful people, and they don't want to get close to them. I also don't want them to do something they don't like."

"Then you must be more careful in the future, or Xiaohan will chase you away."

"Hahaha, that girl wouldn't be like that. She must be thinking about keeping us here so that we can help educate her children at home in the future."
