Chapter 229 Understand the situation
"Girl, why are you so confused? What are you doing in the northwest at this time?"
As she said this, the woman looked Chen Wanruo up and down.
Just by looking at her clothes and appearance, the woman knew that she was not from the northwest.
Not only is the skin of the people here not as fair, even their clothes are not as clean.
After hearing the woman's words, Chen Wanruo did not reveal her identity immediately.
Instead, he looked around the woman's room carefully.
It can be said that there was nothing worth seeing in the room except a desk with a missing corner.
It fully interprets the four words "penniless".
"Aunt, are you the only one in your family? Is there no one else?" Chen Wanruo asked curiously.
It’s no wonder Chen Wanruo asked this. In fact, the house is not big and you can see the whole house at a glance.
There was no one else in the room except the woman.
Looking at the woman's hair, she was only forty years old, but half of her hair was already white.
It can be seen that life is not smooth on weekdays.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the woman's eyes immediately turned red.
"Young lady, you don't know something. You just arrived here and you don't know that the northwest is no longer a place where the people of our Great Jin Dynasty can survive."
Having said this, the woman stretched out her rough right hand and wiped away her tears.
As if she had found someone to cry to, she choked up and said:
"My dear, I have a hard life. I was born in this northwest region. I originally have a pair of children. My son is fourteen years old and my daughter is thirteen years old. They are both very well-behaved. I always thought that their father died early. I raised them with great difficulty. Who would have thought that the barbarians would capture my children without any hesitation and take them away directly. Now I don’t know whether they are dead or alive..."
At this point, the woman was already sobbing.
Chen Wanruo, who was so ruthless in the past, felt her heart wrench when she heard these words.
"Have the barbarians come to harass you frequently recently?"
"Often? Girl, you probably don't know that the people in our entire Yunhai Town are living in panic. Whether in the village or in the town, all the young people have been arrested."
"What about the court? Is there no one in charge of the court?" Chen Wanruo couldn't help but ask.
After asking this question, even she found it funny.
She was not unaware of the court. What could she expect him to do with such a court?
Not to mention the imperial court, even the government offices here are probably having a hard time, right?
Then he immediately asked, "Then you can go to the capital, or live somewhere else?"
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Wanruo's words, the woman smiled bitterly and said:
"Girl, you probably don't know! The imperial court has already given up on us in the northwest. Everyone talks about how prosperous the capital is, but how can we go to the capital when we are penniless?"
"Besides, the entire northwest is in chaos right now. We might die before we even get out of here. And this place is our root. Even if we die, we have to return to it!"
After hearing these words, Chen Wanruo's eyes also turned red.
"Girl, I see that you have a good family background. Why do you come here for no reason? If you have a carriage, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible!"
"Well, thank you, auntie, but didn't the court send troops here in the past two days?"
"That's right. It's only in the past two days since we knew that the War King was coming that more and more people came out. The barbarians and the Tatars don't dare to come here so blatantly. Now, we don't have any other extravagant requests. We just hope that the War King can win this war and let us poor people live a few more years. It would be best if... just... wuwuwu..."
The woman didn't say anything, because at this moment she had already collapsed and was crying breathlessly.
But even so, Chen Wanruo knew what she wanted to say.
She wants to find her children...
She wants a family reunion...
She wants her children to be safe...
Even though this possibility is very small, Chen Wanruo still couldn't help but comfort her:
"Don't worry, Aunt. We will definitely win this war. I'm here to protect you!" Chen Wanruo said this firmly.
Hearing this, the woman was stunned. She looked up at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
He said tremblingly: "Girl, are you the girl named Chen?"
In the past two days, many people have started to visit during the day.
But the one they talked about the most was a girl named Chen.
It is said that she turned the tide on the battlefield with her own strength and turned defeat into victory.
This gave them temporary peace.
"Yes, I am. My name is Chen Wanruo. Auntie, please remember what I said today. No matter what the result is, I will do my best to protect you and the villagers in your northwest region."
After saying this, Chen Wanruo took out two large bags of steamed buns from her sleeves and placed them on the broken table.
Then he opened the door and walked out quickly.
In fact, she took out those two bags of steamed buns from the space.
Before going on the expedition, she had already prepared a lot of food in the space.
When Chen Wanruo returned to Ye Yi again, half an hour had passed.
Ye Yi was still standing in the same place, waiting for her to come back.
Seeing Chen Wanruo's half-red eyes, Ye Yi probably knew what had happened.
In fact, they had already heard about these things when they first entered the city.
Now he only hopes that Miss Chen can lead them to victory in this battle.
"Actually, we don't need to rent the house for too long. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be here soon." Chen Wanruo spoke first.
At this time, Chen Wanruo's tone of voice had become very cold.
After meeting the woman, Chen Wanruo didn't want to wait even a moment.
She just wanted to start a war with the barbarians and Tatars as soon as possible to achieve her desired goal.
The people here will be her, Chen Wanruo's people.
The villagers here will also be her, Chen Wanruo's villagers.
Murong Peng and Yao Fengjiao don’t cherish her, that’s good, she, Chen Wanruo, cherishes her.
The world that Chen Wanruo has conquered will naturally belong to her, Chen Wanruo, and no one can take it away.
Just like what she said to the woman just now, if Chen Wanruo wants to protect someone, she will protect that person even at the cost of her own life.
She also believed that she had the ability.
