Chapter 1672: Calm
ions, aren't you afraid of being laughed at There's your son in between us!"Lao Yang's face darkened."How could you think so poorly of people, woman"“Hmph!”Let me know if you have any other text you'd...“A middle-aged man And with a child who is five or six months old”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The woman received the money and stood there racking her brains, then shook her head.
"I haven't seen it myself, but I can ask them for you."
The woman then turned and waved to the few women who were hiding, peering this way and that.
"You lot don't be afraid, these are soldiers of our great Qi state, not barbarians from the south."
“Come here, come here, I have something to ask you!”
After those several women arrived, the woman recounted to them once again what Yang Ruqing had told her earlier.
A few women huddled together, beginning to chatter excitedly.
There was a woman among them who said, "There are two such people. Yesterday I was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden by the village, and a scruffy man with a beard and a baby in his arms asked me for water."
“I glanced at the little baby, about five or six months old, a boy, so adorable!”
"See me looking at him, he even smiled at me!" said the woman.
Yang Ruqing was as if hearing heavenly music, and she didn't even mind the woman's hands still stained with vegetable leaves from washing them. She stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand.
The woman jumped back in fright.
Yang Ruqing, on the other hand, had flushed cheeks and was breathing rapidly.
"Sister-in-law, could you help me think again, where did they go after that" she asked.
That woman thought for a moment, "I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. He just smiled and shook his head."
"I think that man is rather odd, with a scraggly beard, but his face doesn't seem like that of an evil person."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"As for that child, holding him in my arms, he probably went to Gongjia Village to the south." said the woman.
“Where should Gongjiacun go” Yang Ruqing asked again.
Then the woman pointed in a direction and said, "About five miles away."
Yang Ruqing's eyes lit up instantly.
So, Chen'er is five miles away from me right now
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. If I find them, I will come back and repay your kindness!"
Yang Ruqing said, and grabbed a handful of copper coins to stuff into the hands of the woman who had provided the clue, then turned to leave.

The woman looked at the money in her hand, surprised and delighted.
>
This money could buy several kilograms of pork to have a feast for the children at home!
“Wait a minute, Miss!” she called out to Yang Ruoheng again.
“What’s up” Yang Ruqing asked.
>
The woman said, "Forgive my impertinence, but are these two your relatives"
Yang Ruqing was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't recognize the older one, but the younger one is my son."
Several women were surprised, "Did your son lose something"
Yang Ruqing nodded.
Several women showed sympathy on their faces. The woman who had stopped her earlier said again, "Girl, if you are going to Gongjia Village, you have to be careful. That area is not as peaceful as ours."

"Word on the street is that a few batches of soldiers went that way the other day. Things might be heating up again, and we're all too scared to go visit anyone over there!"
Yang Ruqing nodded. "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful. Goodbye!"
Head south all the way to Gongjia Village.
As Yang Ruoqing's carriage neared Gongjiacun, she noticed something unusual about the roadside.
This time of year is the beginning of the eighth lunar month.

In the south, autumn is at its peak right now.
The paddy fields on both sides of the road were golden yellow with the second crop of rice, nearing harvest time.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Before leaving Xiushui Town and heading towards Gujia Village, all I saw was a bountiful harvest.
But heading towards Gongjia Village, the farmland on both sides of the road clearly showed signs of being trampled.
"Given the situation, it's probably not a bandit looting grain. It's likely a large group of people jostling for space and trampling things."
Yang Ruqing sat firmly on her horse, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, she pondered for a moment.
Xiao Ya Xue also disguised herself and followed along. Hearing this, she rode her horse to Yang Ruo Qing's side.
"Qing'er, let's not rush into Gongjia Village just yet. We can wait for Xiao Bo to come back before entering." Xiao Yaxue said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Soon, the vanguard Xiao Bo returned.
"To my lady, it seems Gongjiacun has been destroyed, but we haven't detected any bandits yet!"
Yang Ruqing nodded slightly: "Let's go and have a look!"
A group of people quickly arrived at Gongjia Village, which was quite different from what they had seen in Gujia Village before.

Gongjia Village clearly bore the marks of destruction. Every household had its doors and windows shuttered, and a heavy atmosphere of oppression hung over the village.
After entering the village, the group split into two, ready to support each other at any time.
Yang Ruoqing knocked open the window of one of the houses and pulled the family out from under the bed.
After some soothing, we finally got the story from this household.
It turns out that just two days ago, bandits from the Black Lotus Cult raided this village.
They didn't kill or steal, just passing through the village, yet they still terrified little Gongjia Village.
This is a test.
“We heard that two groups of people were fighting out at Mount Wuling, thirty miles away.”
"If people aren't enough, and grain isn't enough, they'll come to our villages to loot at any time."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
“We were so scared that we didn't even dare to go out. Every household was huddled under the beds, in the basements, afraid to show their faces!”
The male head of the household said, his voice still trembling with shock.
Yang Ruqing frowned.
She doesn't care who fights who.
Small-scale wars exist everywhere, at any time.
Right now, the only thing she wanted to do was find Chen'er!
"Big brother, I want to ask you something..."
Yang Ruqing recounted to the man before her, once again, what she had gleaned from the village women in Gujia Village earlier.
The man was surprised to hear Yang Ruohui's words.
Turning around, he asked the woman who was still lying under the bed, "Wife, those two people who came to our house yesterday, did you feed their child What does the child look like"
The woman poked her head out from under the bed, “The child is about the same age as this young lady, five or six months old.”
“I fed him and changed his diaper. Oh, and that child has a black birthmark the size of a fingernail on his bottom…”
>
As soon as those words left her mouth, Yang Ruqing was completely energized.
"Sister-in-law, where did they go Do you know Tell me quickly!"
That woman pondered for a moment, then asked the man: "When they left, what did that old man say I think he mentioned going to a certain village"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
"Darn it, it's Hongcun!"
"Madam, I just received word that Hong Cun is heading in the direction of Wuling Mountain."
>
“That road is not safe now,” Xiao Bo said.
"Even if it's not safe, I'm going to find my son!"
Xiao Xue asked Xiao Bo: "Are you familiar with the terrain Do you know if there is another way to go to Hongcun"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xiaobo thought for a moment, "There's one more, but it'll require going several kilometers out of the way."
Xiao Yaxue said: "I'll call the shots, let's take a detour!"
"Ya Xue..." Yang Ruqing spoke, only to be interrupted by Xiao Ya Xue once again.
>
“Qing’er, don't get impatient. You can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry! This is precisely when you need to stay calm!”
"That road to Mount Wuling is too dangerous, it's probably the Southern King and the Black Lotus Cult fighting. If we don't want to get involved, we should take a detour!"o proactively poured tea for Tan Shi.Everyone present secretly admired Yang Huamei's actions.Yang Huaming couldn't help but say, "Before Mei'er was at home, she was just like He'er, spoiled and willfu...
