Chapter 84 Yong State
"Mum, it's a bad dream." Su Jiuyue said.
Hearing this, Liu Cuihua became more nervous, "What's that? Say it!"
"I dreamed that Yong State was recruit soldiers and brothers were both forced to be soldiers!"
When they fought with the Xianbei nations in the early years, many people in their village joined the army, but in the end few people came back alive.
Many people said that war was the prime time for earning reputation and making achievement. But to these poor civilians, that's just a huge grave for thousands and hundreds of ordinary people.
Liu Cuihua almost fell on the ground. Luckily, Su Jiuyue supported her quickly.
Liu Cuihua grabbed Su Jiuyue's hands as if she's grabbing the last straw. She looked up at her with tears brimmed in her eyes, "Jiu, what should we do now?"
Liu Cuihua was always clever, but concerning matters about her sons, she was panic and lost ideas.
Su Jiuyue patted the back of her hand gently and said softly, "Mum, don't be panic. Since God sent us this warning, there is definitely a solution. Why don't we immediately go to Yong State to find brothers? If we hurry back, we may be able to escape the doom."
Liu Cuihua nodded, "You're right, let's go, right now! Take Big Cheng and Small Cheng back!"
But it's already noon when they set off.
There were only two men left in the house, Wu Chuan and Wu Xiyuan. Liu Cuihua was worried about recruitment and didn't dare to let them go out.
And Chen Zhandi and Tian Xiuniang had two kids to take care of. Finally Liu Cuihua decided to go by herself.
Su Jiuyue was worried about her, so she recommended herself to go with her together.
Liu Cuihua originally disagreed, but then she thought that Su Jiuyue was lucky and could get precognition from dreams. If there were any variables, she would be able to know it in advance. So she agreed at last.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally appeased Wu Xiyuan, promised to come back and bring him candied haws and then went out.
Yong State was farther from Xia Yang Village than from Ox Head Town. The two walked from day to night and finally saw the city walls of Yong State.
Yong State was a fortress, whose city walls were towering and soared to heaven. And the green stone bricks in layers were hidden in the night.
Although at this time, the gate of Yong State had been closed long ago, the outside of Yong State was still lively. There were small vendors from different places setting up stalls outside the city. You could find everything from wontons to sesame seed cakes.
The night breeze brought the smell of wontons and stimulated people's taste buds, including Su Jiuyue's and Liu Cuihua's.
Liu Cuihua was willing to spend money on her daughter-in-law, who accompanied her on the long trip without complaints.
"Jiu, you must be hungry. Let me buy you a bowl of wontons."
Su Jiuyue hadn't eaten wontons since she was born. She saw this in the town but she couldn't afford.
Hearing Liu Cuihua's words, she hurried up to drag Liu Cuihua's hand, "Mum. Sesame seed cakes are fine. The harvest of this year isn't good and foods are too expensive."
Liu Cuihua was generous and she had money in her pocket, "It's cold and we still don't know where to live. Probably we have to stay here till the door opens. It's comfortable and warm to eat a bowl of wontons."
Su Jiuyue couldn't prevail her, so she could only let her go.
After a while, Liu Cuihua came back, along with a middle-aged man.
"Do you two want accommodation? I can guarantee you a cheap price which you can't get in any other place!"
