The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 123 New situation on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month

After leaving the state government office in Anzhou, Pei Zhiqi hurriedly went outside to unhook the rein and got on the horse.

There is only one hour to go back to the state office, and the time to find a wife is very urgent.

The road was full of fleeing people. Pei Zhiqi had no time to look left and right on the horse, and the people in the house and yard couldn't see at all. He simply called his wife while riding the horse, hoping that the lady could hear him and come out to find him. .

But in an hour, Pei Zhiqi rode around at least half of the city, and called for an hour, but he didn't see the lady.

Every time on the road, Pei Zhiqi came across a lady-like figure wearing a red dress, she hurried forward to check, but she was not a lady.

Ma'am, she should be with her brother's family...but she didn't see anyone from her brother's family either.

I don't know if the lady didn't hear his voice in which courtyard, or the lady didn't come to Anzhou City at all?

Searching while riding, the feeling of finding a needle in a haystack made Pei Zhiqi anxious and powerless.The lady has never suffered from this kind of fleeing, and I don't know what's going on at this time, but when he thinks about it, his heart feels like a knife is piercing his heart.

If he had left later that day, he would not have been separated from his wife.

No matter how regretful it is, it will be useless, the matter has come to this point, I can only hope that the lady is safe and sound.The lady is as smart as ice and snow, she will definitely not...

Pei Zhiqi recalled the night of the first day he went to the academy, he was worried about returning home, and his wife was afraid to go home because she was afraid of the dark, staying by the side of the road, she was about to freeze.

"My lady! Where are you, my lady! I'm Pei Zhiqi! I'm here to pick you up!" He couldn't help but grow louder.

The people on the road saw a scholar galloping on horseback, looking for his wife.

The common people, who were used to seeing separation, looked at the scholar, then looked away and continued to doze off.These days, are there still few separations that can never get together again?

Pei Zhiqi failed to find Li Xiaodao in the end.

The head of the mountain had already promised to send back Anzhou Mu's reply letter in time, and it was estimated that it would be almost an hour, so Pei Zhiqi had no choice but to turn around and rush back to the Anzhou prefectural office.

Since I couldn't find my wife after I came here, I will send the letter back today, and then rush back to Anzhou City overnight, and just make another trip.If you come again, you will stay here until you find your wife.

Pei Zhiqi planned in his heart.

Back at the Anzhou government office, Pei Zhiqi went straight to the flower hall where he had just met Anzhou Mu. As expected, both Anzhou Mu and the master were there.

The difference from when he came here was that this time Anzhou Mu not only did not doze off, but sat up straight, and there was an extra cup of tea on the table.

After entering the flower hall and saluting the An Zhou priest and the master in the hall, the master took a letter and handed it to Pei Zhiqi: "Thank you, please send this letter back to Elder Shan of Jingde Academy."

Pei Zhiqi put the letter away and replied, "I will definitely deliver the letter in time. I just don't know..."

Pei Zhiqi also wanted to know what An Zhoumu's decision was.

Although judging from Anzhou Mu's attitude towards him at this time, he should have guessed pretty well.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chao and I will firmly guard the gate of the city before noon tomorrow," the master smiled at Pei Zhiqi.

"You've had a hard time traveling, drink this cup of tea before leaving," An Zhou Mu said politely while sitting on a chair.

Pei Zhiqi went straight forward, drank tea, and thanked him.

"Then there will be no delay, Mr. State Shepherd, Master, take your leave."

After finishing speaking, Pei Zhiqi turned around and walked out quickly.

He wanted to hurry back to Jingde Mountain, and after sending the letter back, he had to return to Anzhou City as soon as possible.

Today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. I never thought that the first year I spent with my wife after getting married would be so unbearable.

I don't know what happened to my parents who came to the provincial capital. Now the gates of the provincial capital are occupied by Japanese pirates. Under normal circumstances, people who are hundreds of miles away will receive the news and return. I hope that my parents have returned to Baima Village smoothly.

At least find a wife before the New Year.

Pei Zhiqi, who hurried back to Jingde Mountain on horseback, was full of thoughts.

I don't know if it's because I can't rest well every night in this dilapidated house, and I can only eat dry food during the day, or because there are too many people in the room and it's stuffy. Li, who has been in this dilapidated house in Anzhou City for about five days, Xiaodao felt that the whole person was a little confused and in a trance, and even began to think about why there is night and day in the world, why people are divided into men and women, what is the essence of human nature, and other philosophical issues.

Seeing that she was not in a good state of mind, Mrs. Wang put Li Xiaodao on her lap that night, curled up and half lay down to have a good sleep.

Fortunately, Li Xiaodao has a petite figure, which is just enough for him to curl up.

As expected, she slept much better when she was able to lie on a half-lying position. The night of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month was the best day for Li Xiaodao to sleep when she escaped. Fortunately, something happened the next morning and everyone ran out of the house and she still didn't wake up.

Later, he was woken up by his brother.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaodao rubbed his eyes, and saw that Mrs. Wang was still sitting here with him, beside her brother who woke him up, besides, the whole room was empty?

"What happened? Where are the people in this room?" Li Xiaodao looked at his brother and then at Cook Wang, wondering.

"The people who came from the south gate in the morning said that Japanese pirates have surrounded the south gate of Anzhou City, and now everyone is running to the north gate, ready to escape at any time." Li Xiaoxin frowned and said, "You're awake!" Get up quickly, this place is not far from the North City Gate, let's pack our things and wait there."

When my brother said this, he must have felt uncomfortable. Li Xiaodao understood, because six or seven days had passed, and there was not much left of the dry food he brought. a city.

No one wanted to continue fleeing north, it was so difficult for my brother to be fully prepared, not to mention the people who were unprepared, many people already relied on porridge at the north and south gates every day to save their lives.

Li Xiaodao got up, rolled up the mat with Mrs. Wang and his brother, tied the rope, and carried it out of the yard to the cart.

Mrs. Qi and Xiaodouzi are already busy outside the yard, packing up the carriage and cart.The rain stopped yesterday, and the weather is fine today. The sun is shining brightly early in the morning, and the sky is blue and white. Everyone is working while basking in the sun and getting some fresh air. Recently, I have been really suffocated in that room.

After the things were sorted out and everyone was alive, the escape team started to head towards the north gate again.

Li Xiaodao and his elder brother walked together, talking while walking.She slept well last night and she felt better.

"Let's get some porridge when we get to the north gate later! First, it can save food, and second, it's a hot meal, so it's more comfortable to eat," Li Xiaodao suggested.

"Good idea, let's put porridge at noon, we should be there before noon." Li Xiaoxin nodded in agreement.

"Brother, I still want to say, I seem to have heard yesterday..."

Before Li Xiaodao finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother: "Stop it, I told you that you are in a trance, we are all in the same room, why didn't I hear my brother-in-law's voice? Your ears are better than mine. Can't you work?"

"So you fell asleep at that time..." Li Xiaodao still didn't want to admit that hearing Xianggong's voice at noon yesterday was an illusion or an auditory hallucination.

"Then did you run out and meet anyone?" Li Xiaoxin asked again.

"No..." Li Xiaodao sighed.

"I know you miss your brother-in-law very much, but he is in Jingde Mountain, how could he come here? Don't be stupid, let's go, look, the North Gate is coming soon," Li Xiaoxin persuaded his sister.
