Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 306 The Ye family's children were arranged to hide in the Su family

Ye Yanzhi drove the Su family mule cart back to the outer city. There were not many people on the road, and they all went home to wait for news. He knew that if the situation in the outer city became tense, the gates of the inner city and Wengcheng would be closed, and it would be too late for him to go home.

Their family had encountered too many situations, and they could not be separated, and they had to rely on each other for life and death. When he returned home, except for an aunt who was looking after a few young babies, everyone else had already climbed up the city wall.

He called his aunt, and just in case, he took out a token from his body, which was a small jade pendant given to him by the Su family. They recognized each other at first sight. In fact, Su He and his sister should all know each other. He put the children on the mule cart and asked his aunt to rush to the Su family.

This way, if something happens to them, at least some blood will be left for the Ye family. This is also what Su He told him when he was about to leave, to send the children at home to the Su family.

In the past, when they had no other options, they would feed the children drugs such as knockout drugs to make them fall asleep at the critical moment, and then carry them into hidden cellars or run to caves in the mountains, hoping to avoid the enemy's search.

Now that he could send them to the Su family, he was very grateful to the Su family. It seemed that he had really met a noble person this time. The children of the Ye family were protected by the Su family, so he felt that he didn't have to worry about them anymore.

He wanted to go up to the city wall and fight the enemy with everyone. Only by defending here could the city be safe. Since coming to the border town, he was no longer a weak scholar, and could also pick up weapons to kill the enemy.

A carriage loaded with children passed through Wengcheng and arrived at the Su family in the inner city. Their older children had been to the inner city and here before, and knew that this was the Su family.

Su He was waiting for their arrival at home, but she was not idle either. She was hiding some things.

This house also had a dark room built by Su He, which had the same effect as the courtyard of Su He's hometown. They took people to put all the food in the first dark room, and put some precious things in the secret room at the end of the passage.

In this way, even if someone discovers it, they will not know that there are several layers of secret rooms inside. Of course, there must be inconspicuous passages in other places for ventilation and escape.

Su He knew her mother and grandparents were in danger, so she hid in the secret room. There was everything there, and it was very convenient for food and accommodation. Except for not being able to see the sun, there was no difference from being outside.

It was unrealistic to run away now. They were afraid that a small group of enemies would attack from the mountains, which would make the road even more unsafe. It would be better for the whole family to hide in the city first. If the border town was really lost, it would be their fate. There would be no point in going anywhere.

Su He heard the sound of a carriage coming outside the door, and guessed that it was the master's family, so he ran to the door quickly. Uncle Meng had already opened the half-open door. Because it was his own carriage, he recognized it from a distance, so he opened the door quickly.

Su He hurriedly called them to go inside. The aunt quickly jumped out of the car and thanked Su He: "Thank you, Miss Su He. I am sorry to have caused trouble for your family."

After she finished speaking, she turned and shouted to the car, "Kids, get off! We're here."

The older children jumped off the bus first, followed by the younger brothers and sisters, and more than 20 children, big and small, filled the area. The Su family knew that they had many children, so none of the adults came with them except the aunt.

The children may have lived in a harsh environment since they were young, so they are not so delicate. They are like little adults, following their brothers and sisters without crying or making a fuss. While talking to these children, Su He walked towards the yard with the dark room. There were several houses that had been cleaned up for them to live in temporarily. If there was any danger, all the children would move with the Su family.
