Create a home with a system

Chapter 17 Cause of Death
Jiang was surprised that his daughter still kept eggs, and immediately smiled gratifiedly, "My Aning is getting more and more capable, that mother is waiting to try your handicraft today."

If the eldest son and eldest daughter can stand up, even if something happens to the couple in the future, they don't have to worry so much.

Thinking about it, Jiang's eyes turned red again. She didn't dare to let Tangning see it, so she turned and walked out.

But after a while, Tang Juncai and Tang Junyi also came back, but the faces of the two were not very good-looking, and they took a group of people to the main room after entering the courtyard.

Tang Juncai said to Tang Zheng with a sullen face, "Ah Zheng, go and watch in the yard, don't let anyone eavesdrop on us."

This posture.
Tang Zheng went out obediently, but Tang Ning sneaked into the house.

Tang Juncai didn't care too much, and said in a low voice tremblingly: "I found out about Li San and Liuzi from Li Mu. They were killed by Liao people."

"What?" Everyone in the room yelled out in horror except Tang Junyi, and Tang Rou was so frightened that her body trembled. Fortunately, Nizi didn't follow in while eating wild fruits in the yard, otherwise she would have been shocked again .

Tang Junsheng was so flustered that he stuttered, "Why...how could it be from the Liao people? Could it be that the Liao soldiers have already entered? Then we."

Once the border is lost, they will become the first town to be slaughtered by the enemy. This news is worse than military service and taxes.

"Don't panic, third brother, what's going on?" Tang Junjie stared at Tang Juncai with a pale face.

Tang Juncai frowned deeply, and said slowly: "These words were also revealed by Li Mu's cronies. I went to find Li Mu today, and he knew the reason for my visit. Usually he would exchange a few words, but today he told me bluntly. He asked me not to inquire about Li San and Liuzi, but he reminded me vaguely that if you have distant relatives, you can go and see them.

I didn't understand at first, but when I walked out of Li's mansion, I happened to meet the two guards who carried the corpse yesterday, muttering about wound weapons, so I slowed down and listened for a while, their words It means that Li San and Liuzi were killed.

The weapons used to kill them belonged to Daliao. Weapons have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court. At most, the folks have kitchen knives, daggers, axes, hatchets, or agricultural tools. Report to the government, and the people cannot hide it privately.

Now the weapons of Daliao have killed people in the territory of Dazhou. No matter who is holding the weapons, it means that our border is no longer stable. The best situation is that someone secretly brought back the Liao weapons from the battlefield without knowing it. How did it get out to cause the murder of Liao Qi.

In the worst case, the Liao people have sneaked into Dazhou, and they are in our town. "

With a "bang", Jiang's legs gave way and he fell off the stool.

Tang Junsheng hurriedly helped him up, and anxiously asked Tang Juncai, "Brother, which one do you think is more likely?"

Tang Juncai didn't say a word, Tang Junsheng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"We have to go this time!" Tang Junyi, who had been silent all this time, said quietly: "Today, my eldest brother went to Li Mu's house, and I went to the houses of a few friends I knew well. Only after I went there did I know that many people moved away. It's been two or three days since I left, quietly, no one said anything, even the neighbors didn't know about it, they thought it was just something they were away from home."

This is the disadvantage of the small number of people and the large land. There is a certain distance between every household, and no one knows what happened without making a big noise.

"How did they get there? Isn't it impossible to leave Suzhou?" Tang Junsheng was anxious, thinking about how to leave.

Tang Junyi shook his head and sighed, "I don't know! No matter how they go, I mean to get a guide first. No matter where they go, leave first. It's too dangerous here. The mountains are behind. When people come, they don’t know where they hide, so they can’t stay.”

Tangning's heart tightened. Tang Zhong was still in the mountains, so she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, will the Liao people climb over the mountains and come to our side?"

Tang Junyi nodded with a serious expression, "The mountain range in our town is the barrier of the Great Zhou, which cuts off the exchanges between the two countries. Otherwise, with the strength of the Great Zhou, how can it compete with the Daliao for so many years?

Do you think that for so many years, no matter how serious natural disasters and man-made disasters have been encountered, no one has thought about why they go to the mountains, wild animals are second, and the most dangerous people are often those who don’t know the details.”

Tangning's face turned pale when she heard this. Now she understood why no one entered the mountain even though everyone was starving to death. They had run so far and didn't encounter any powerful beasts. Why didn't everyone have the guts to try their luck? It seemed that she was thinking too simply.

But now Tang Zhong is still inside, what should I do?Does she want to tell the truth?
Just when Tangning was worried, Tang Junsheng comforted Jiang and brought the food, calling Tang Zheng and Nizi to come in for dinner.

Tang Rou looked at the custard she had made for her child, and shook her head flattered, "My third aunt keeps it for my cousins. My son is still young, so he just needs milk."

Jiang shrugged and shook his head, "A-Ning made the stew specially for children, don't refuse, after eating this meal, you still don't know where the next meal will be."

Jiang's pessimistic mood made Tang Rou's eyes turn red, and she didn't say any more words of rejection.

On the other hand, Tang Ning didn't pay attention to their emotions. She casually picked up a few mouthfuls of food and went to the yard. She even ran to the high slope behind, staring at the direction of the mountain and praying for Tang Zhong's safe return.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Tang Zhong was still not in sight, Tangning became more and more anxious. She was planning to tell Tang Junsheng about Tang Zhong's trip to the mountain, and the boy came back.

He tiptoedly brought the basket into her room like a thief, and then walked out as if nothing had happened. If Tangning hadn't been paying attention, she wouldn't have noticed his little tricks.

When the man came back safely, she also heaved a sigh of relief, and before Tang Zhong could show off what he had gained today, she dragged him into the room, twisted his ears, and said angrily, "I know you're coming back, I'm almost so worried about you!" Do you know, I almost told my parents that you went into the mountains."

Tang Zhong's grinning face instantly became terrified, "Sister, you sold me? My parents will beat me to death! It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Seeing his appearance, Tangning lost all her anger, "You're lucky, I haven't had time to say it yet, but there won't be a next time."

"It's fine if you don't say it, it's fine if you don't say it." Tang Zhong was relieved when he heard that Tang Ning hadn't said anything. We went to that forest again, and found some wild persimmons, so we picked them. We also found a nest of wild eggs, more than a dozen, and everyone shared a share. At my side, there are only four left, all of which are given to you.
