It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 143

Have you ever seen several groups of people surrounding another group just to grab a coffin? Have you ever seen two people carrying a coffin and maneuvering swiftly and flexibly around a small courtyard? Have you ever seen someone forcibly grab the coffin from another person and then replace the occupant without hesitation? Have you ever seen a resident lie down in the coffin to take the place of the deceased when the coffin was not delivered in time? ...

Jiang Yan was stunned by these unprecedented behaviors. It was really an eye-opener. No wonder people say that reality is more absurd than imagination.

On the way out of the courtyard, Jiang Yan was puzzled: "If they have the time to rob, why don't they go outside the city and cut down a tree to build a new one?"

Yile explained: "It would take longer to do it ourselves, and in the current situation, they don't have the time and can't afford to wait.

What's more, there's a ready-made coffin in the house. It's hard to compare the life, but the family can still argue about the afterlife."

Jiang Yan could only half understand this mentality, and turned to wonder: "Does this kind of thing happen often?" Judging from Yile's tone, it must be uncommon, but she had never seen or heard of it.

Yile was feeling a bit gloomy. "When people walk around a lot, things like this are bound to happen. The fight just now was actually nothing."

This is nothing?! Yile must have gone through a very difficult period before entering the mansion. Jiang Yan felt depressed when she thought of this.

Chunying, while broadening her horizons, was secretly debating whether or not to exchange this information for a unique reward.

Fu Weixin, who was resting in the shade, was silent and conflicted when he saw the three people returning slowly.

……

The sun was blazing overhead, and the day was already halfway over. After Jiang Yan and his companions shared their roasted wheat grains, they decided to walk towards the center of the city to check out the situation. The fact that so many people were out and about today suggested that the situation in at least some areas of the city had temporarily calmed down.

This decision was tacitly agreed upon by Fu Weixin, as well as supported by Jiang Yan and Chunying.

Fu Weixin wanted to find out which party was currently in control of the city, and wanted to know the safety and whereabouts of Aunt Chang, and then consider whether to go there for help.

Jiang Yan wants to take the opportunity to find the separated elderly people and reunite with them, while Chunying wants to take the opportunity to find a chance to contact her superiors.

But there was a small disagreement among the group on the issue of who should explore the way.

According to Baoqin's consideration, Miss Fu was delicate and only needed to stay where she was to rest and wait, so half of the maids could go and investigate.

For example, Jiang Yan and Yi Le, who are both good at skills and courage, will be left to protect Miss Fu, and Huan Yan will be left to cooperate, while Chunying will lead the rest of the people to the provincial capital.

But Chunying was not happy. The fact that the situation had calmed down did not mean that there was no danger. Those who took advantage of the chaos to break into the city were all from Northern Jin, and to a lesser extent, from the counties surrounding Heding Prefecture.

Everyone looks similar, and although their accents may differ, it won't be a problem if they keep their mouths shut. As long as they hide their weapons or change their clothes and blend into the crowd, who can tell at a glance who is dangerous?

Baoqin and Tingying don't run fast and don't hit people hard. If they really encounter an incident where they have to deal with two people at once, isn't her safety important?

Chunying politely declined, saying she wasn't familiar with the city's lanes and needed Jiang Yan's assistance. Even if they couldn't defeat the enemy together, they still had a good chance of escaping.

Chunying and Jiangyan together? Before Fu Weixin could even speak up to change people, Baoqin felt it was unreliable. "Don't you think it's a bit risky to leave Yile alone to protect the girl?"

This kind of thinking is not feasible. Jiang Yan kindly reminded: "It's not just Yile who is left alone. You, Tingying and Huanyan are also here. If things don't work out, the girls can also lend a hand."

Fu Nulang's crisp and decisive footwork often appeared in Jiang Yan's dreams. Unfortunately, Baoqin was not there at the time and could not understand her hidden meaning.

Fu Weixin stood aside, repeatedly reminding himself that there was still a long way to go.
