Chapter 395: Chapter 391: In-Law’s Opening Door_1
Days passed, and Sun Licheng ran to Jiang Sanlang every day to tell him about the latest war situations he had heard.
One night, Yingbao suddenly had a dream, dreaming of flames soaring to the sky in Qinchuan County and their shop being set ablaze, leaving her older cousin Jiang Cheng’s and her aunt’s families in pools of blood.
Yingbao was shocked awake, the scenes are still fresh in her mind, as if she had experienced them firsthand.
Thinking of a possibility, she shivered, jumped out of bed, and knocked on her parents’ room, shouting “Dad! Mom!”
Jiang Sanlang and his wife, Chunniang, quickly got dressed and opened the door, asking, “What happened?”
“I need to go to the county town. Dad, you should inform the villagers at home to keep an eye on the village these days. If soldiers come, let the villagers hide immediately.” As Yingbao spoke, she slipped her boots on.
Jiang Sanlang frowned, “What’s the matter? Let me go to the county town.”
Yingbao recounted her dream, and finally said, “I’m worried that something will happen in the county town. I want to notify cousin Jiang Cheng and them to close the shop and find a place to hide.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sanlang’s face changed, and he turned around to get dressed, “I’ll go to the county town; you stay at home.”
“No way!” Yingbao refused.
“Baobao!” Chunniang grabbed Yingbao and angrily said, “You’re a girl, what are you running around for? Your dad can get there faster.”
Yingbao: …
Jiang Sanlang quickly got dressed, put on his shoes and socks, and ran out of the room to saddle his horse.
By this time, it was almost daybreak. Jiang Sanlang leaped onto his horse and told his daughter, “You stay at home and tell your uncles to inform the villagers to stay alert these days.”
“Okay.” Yingbao also knew that they couldn’t delay any longer and gave her dad the nod to leave.
She then took out a bag of wheat and several potions and handed them to her dad, “If the horse gets tired, feed it this.”
Jiang Sanlang took the bag and hung it on his shoulder, put the medicine into the bag, snapped the reins, and left the yard, quickly leaving the village.
A hundred miles away, he arrived in just a few hours.
By now, it was broad daylight. The city gate was wide open, and many people were coming in and out, with no apparent anomalies.
Jiang Sanlang didn’t know what was about to happen, but his daughter’s dreams were usually prophetic, so he didn’t dare to take them lightly.
When he reached the shop, he saw his sister, Jiang Yunniang, selling breakfast.
Seeing him, she was surprised, “Sanlang, what brings you here?”
“Pack up and come back to the village with me.” Jiang Sanlang got off his horse and quickly ran into the shop.
Jiang Cheng, who had just opened the shop, was startled to see his third uncle rushing in.
Jiang Sanlang said, “Quickly close the shop and come back to the village with me.”
Jiang Cheng quickly asked, “Third uncle, what’s happened at home?”
“Don’t ask, hurry back and get your family. I’ll help you saddle the carriage.” As he spoke, Jiang Sanlang went directly to the backyard to saddle the carriage.
Seeing the serious expression on his third uncle’s face, Jiang Cheng thought something major had happened and hurriedly ran home to bring his wife, son, and daughter.
When he returned, he saw his third uncle hiring a carriage on the street and helping his aunt’s family get on it.
“Third Uncle, what actually happened?” Jiang Cheng asked with concern.
Jiang Sanlang didn’t know how to explain, and after thinking for a while, he said, “You’ll know when you get back.”
He glanced at his niece-in-law, wondering whether he should tell her the truth. But since his daughter’s dream seemed to not involve anyone else getting hurt, he decided not to reveal it for now.
However, as the carriage had just driven a short distance away, they came across shopkeeper Chou riding a donkey.
“Huh? Where are you going at this hour?” Shopkeeper Chou asked.
