The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 353: Picking up two poor little ones

 The two chickens were quickly plucked and killed.

 The child didn’t throw away the edible internal organs, but carefully washed them.

Du Wan asked: "What's your name?"

"My name is Da Wa, and I am eleven years old this year. My brother's name is Er Wa, and he is nine years old." Da Wa is very clever and sometimes glances at Du Wan secretly.

Du Wan pretended not to notice, "When the chicken is ready, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to catch up with grandpa and uncle?"

"Young Master, can my brother and I follow you? We can do whatever you ask us to do, just like today. With us following you, you don't have to kill the chickens yourself. My brother and I don't have high requirements, as long as we have a stutter. "

 “…” Du Wan was silent.

 Is this a door-to-door approach to sell oneself?

Du Wan asked in a complicated mood: "What do you think?"

 “Young master is a good man, give Uncle Ye and his rabbits some rabbits.” It was that scene that made Dawa think, “My parents are starving to death, and my brother and I haven’t had anything to eat all day.”

 “Does your family treat you badly?”

 “…It’s okay.” Da Wa hesitated and finally did not say anything bad about his family.

　　Du Wan is not blind.

 When these two children are so thin, you know how their family treats them.

 Those who are escaping now are basically people with some wealth.

Du Wan said truthfully: "I'm going to Linshui County, don't you want to leave?"

"As long as we can follow the young master, it doesn't matter where we go. We can also sign the deed of sale." The eldest child knelt down, and the second child followed the eldest brother and knelt down.

　　“That’s not necessary, just follow me for now.”

Du Wan thought that there would be a local person to take him with him.

When the two children heard this, they were very excited and kowtowed to Du Wan.

If Du Wan hadn't stopped him in time, both of them would have broken their foreheads.

Du Wan looked at the two people's tattered clothes and said helplessly: "Let's get some food first, and then I'll buy you a set of clothes when we get to Linshui County."

 “Yes, sir.”

 The brothers resumed their work.

Du Wan touched the baggage and saw that the dry food inside had been eaten long ago, and there was still a water bag.

 Three people shared two chickens.

Du Wan ate most of the chicken, and the rest was eaten by the two brothers.

When she was about to continue on her way, she realized that the two brothers had nothing, so they carried two large bamboo tubes to hold water. According to Dawa, this is the only thing in the house that belongs to them.

Without the two brothers, Du Wan would have arrived in the county soon.

 Two more burdens?

Du Wan suddenly felt a little regretful.

 I didn’t think much about it when I agreed, what should I do now? We can only go to the county and talk about it. They can always be settled. Fortunately, the two brothers had endured hardship and would not cry, so they followed Du Wan silently.

 Finally, we arrived at the county before dark.

Du Wan found an inn that was still open to stay, ordered some food, and asked for two upper rooms. Then he asked the waiter to take the two brothers to take a shower and put on clean clothes.

It didn’t take long before the brothers lost their dirty look and became much more pleasing to the eye.

 It’s just too thin.

Du Wan ordered: "Go back to your room to rest after eating. I'm tired, so don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. Do you understand?"

 “I understand, just listen to the young master.” The two brothers obeyed respectfully.

Du Wan went back to her room and closed the door.

 In just half an hour, she almost searched Linshui County.

I didn't find Pei Hao and Hu San, but I did know that the situation in Linshui County was quite serious. There were very few people left, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not even many people in the county government.

It is said that the county magistrate fled with his family yesterday. Of course, he did not run away on the surface, but went to visit relatives in a certain city.

 But who doesn’t know that they are running away?

 The magistrates of the previous counties were all killed by the rebels, and the next county was known to be Linshui County.

If the county magistrate does not escape, should he stay and wait for death?

 Only three counties were captured last year, and two more counties were captured a few days ago.

 Five counties fell?

Du Wan learned from Mu Si’an that the new leader of the rebels was named Qiao. Very few people know his specific name, and everyone just calls him Leader Qiao. It is said that not long after he took office, he ordered the capture of three counties last year. Du Wan thought that this was different from the plot.

 Recalling the contents of the book, I couldn’t find anyone named Qiao who could match my name.

Is he a new character?

Du Wan quickly put this problem behind him.

 Her purpose is to find Pei Hao.

Looking for someone without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Du Wan decided to use the stupidest way, going to the place where the rebel leader came and went and waiting for the rabbit.

 At the inn, I practiced all night.

 The next day, Du Wan was in high spirits again.

　　Opening the door, there were two brothers watching outside, very well behaved.

Du Wan said: "There are no food shops outside. Go and tell the shopkeeper and ask them to make some dry food in the kitchen."

“Sir, it’s hard to buy food now, and food is very expensive.”

"I know."

 Du Wan took out ten taels of silver ingots from his body and said, "Take them to settle the bill."

“Yes, let’s do it now.”

 The big boy ran to find the shopkeeper.

Erwa was left looking at Du Wan with big eyes, as if waiting for his master's instructions.

Du Wan touched his little head, handed him the baggage, and said with a smile: "Here, carry the baggage for me."

 “Okay, thank you, sir.”

 Erwa is very happy to have work to do.

 Last night, the eldest brother told him that he should be more diligent and take good care of the young master. As long as they are useful, the young master will keep them.

Du Wan could see what he was thinking.

 Prepared dry food, asked the waiter to contact him, and bought a carriage at a high price.

 The carriage is only 70% new, but it is more expensive than new.

 Let the coachman teach the big boy how to drive the cart. When the big boy learns how to drive, the master and servant will set off.

Dawa is driving the car, "Sir, where are you going?"

 “Moding County.”

 “Sir, that is the place occupied by the rebels, you...” Dawa reminded quickly.

 “I know, just as I said.”

What Du Wan is going to is the territory of the rebels, and he should go there openly.

 Da Wa drives the car.

Erwa sat in the carriage. Du Wan saw that he was too young and asked him to come in and sit.

Erwa asked anxiously, "Aren't you afraid, Master?"

"What are you afraid of? I just heard that there was a war here, so I came here to watch the excitement." Du Wan said it carelessly and did not mean what he said.

 But Erwa is convinced of this.

He has heard from adults before that some young men from wealthy families often do strange behaviors and have strange hobbies. The young master is indeed a young master from a wealthy family, and he does things just like those young masters.

Du Wan was glad that she didn’t know what Erwa was thinking.

 Otherwise, she would definitely throw this little brat out of the car.

Some things are clearly visible but not very noticeable.

Du Wan just wanted to be so carefree and play the role of an arrogant young master. She even found a reason. She just heard about the war in the southwest and came here to make a living without telling her family.

This is like a young man who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. If he thinks about it, it will not arouse much suspicion.

 There are many young masters of this type in the world, who can run around the world with their passion.

 This situation in the past is in line with Du Wan's wishes.
