The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Chapter 125 Lockdown of the Town

"What?! What about our business?!"

"How long will this lockdown last?"

"I was already planning to leave!"

The inn where the Yun mother and daughter stayed was a very ordinary inn, with the rooms in the simplest style, mostly large communal sleeping areas.

The inn has a large backyard, which is convenient for merchants to park their carriages.

When Yun Yuke first arrived yesterday, she didn't notice anything strange, probably because the inn was ordinary and nothing particularly special.

But after hearing someone ask about the news yesterday, Yun Yuke began to consider observing the other guests at the inn.

Anyway, there weren't many guests here; besides my mother and daughter, there were three other groups.

Judging from what they just said, all three groups were complaining about the lockdown, but so far there seems to be nothing unusual.

"Everyone! Everyone! We know you have complaints, but this is not because the situation is special, and we cannot let you leave our Cangnan Town!"

The innkeeper was rather tough. He had spoken to everyone politely at first, but after a few attempts to persuade them, he stopped caring.

"Anyway, this is an order issued by the Cangnan Army, and military orders cannot be changed. The inn can only guarantee your living conditions, and can't take care of anything else. If you have any complaints, go and vent them on the people guarding the city. When the real battle starts, you won't have so many complaints."

The owner left after speaking, leaving only a few other groups of guests behind.

Yun Yuke and Yun Qingjin's reasons for coming here were quite clear: they couldn't leave anytime soon, which matched their excuse. So there weren't any major problems.

The innkeeper went back inside, but his wife stayed in the lobby the whole time.

Yun Yuke thought for a moment and decided that she might as well start with the landlady.

"Boss lady, you..."

"Oh, I know you. You're the one who came looking for her husband, right?" The proprietress remembered that Yun Qingjin had come to ask for clear soup noodles yesterday.

"Yes, so I wanted to ask if you've seen it before, ma'am..."

Yun Yuke then took out the "portrait of her own man".

The proprietress looked at it carefully, confirmed it several times, and finally shook her head.

"Hey, our inn isn't the only one in town, anyway, I've never seen one before."

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to search slowly... I can't leave the town now."

Yun Yuke had never forgotten her own role, holding the portrait with a melancholy expression.

"Sigh, sister, you're still young. If you really can't find your husband, you can always find another one. The most important thing now is to stay alive. You should take your daughter back home; it hasn't been easy for you either."

"Um...madam, may I ask what's going on? I've never seen anything like this before."

Yun Yuke spoke softly.

"We don't know the specific details either. We just received the news that we follow the orders of the Cangnan Army in our daily operations. Whatever the general says goes."

"Well... oh dear, if this place gets sealed off, we won't have enough food. I should have kept the grain I brought and brought it here instead of selling it to the grain shop." Yun Yuke said with a look of frustration.

The proprietress waved her hand, "You don't need to worry about that. Don't worry, the higher-ups said that supplies will be allocated centrally. There's no shortage of supplies around here, so don't worry. It's wartime, so we won't charge you extra money. Go back to your rooms and rest."

Having finished explaining everything, the proprietress prepared to return to the kitchen. After taking a few steps, she turned back and specifically instructed the people in the main hall, "Don't wander around. This is no joke. Right now, it's just a town lockdown with a curfew. Once the street clearing order is issued, it will be even stricter!"

Since the landlady had said that, the others didn't say anything more and basically went back to their rooms.

The other three groups didn't say anything either, just sighed and left.

Yun Yuke was still thinking about something, but only the galloping horses outside responded to her.

"Mother, let's go back quickly, I don't feel well outside..."

Yun Qingjin's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she squeezed Yun Yuke's hand. The child lowered her head and hid behind Yun Yuke.

"What's wrong, Qingqing?" Yun Yuke sensed her daughter's unusual behavior and looked up to see that among the remaining groups of people in the hall, some had strange looks in their eyes.

Yun Yuke looked over and, sure enough, several people were staring at her and her daughter, their eyes carrying an uncomfortable feeling.

"It's alright, don't be afraid, gently."

Yun Yuke pulled Yun Qingjin and went straight back to her room. As they passed those people, Yun Yuke secretly made a gesture with her hand and flicked it lightly where no one could see.

"Mother, those people clearly had ill intentions, it was that kind of... that very uncomfortable feeling."

"Don't worry, I can tell."

"We should have just beaten them up!" Yun Qingjin roared in anger, but managed to maintain overall control. "If only we weren't afraid of being exposed!"

"Very good, you were able to control your emotions before taking action, that's good." Yun Yuke comforted her daughter.

"Judging from the appearance of those three groups of people, they are probably just ordinary merchants. They shouldn't be spies here to gather information. Hmph, if they have time to be lecherous, then they are definitely not spies. Where would a spy come from, and why would they have such thoughts?"

Yun Yuke expressed her thoughts.

"You should resist when you need to, but you don't need to lift a finger against this kind of person. Come here, let me teach you another trick."

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yuke handed the incantation she had just made to Yun Qingjin, and also gave Yun Qingjin a new set of hidden weapon needles.

"The poison on this needle is meant to be used on wicked people who have developed lustful desires."

"So it's in our concealed weapon box?"

"Yes, but the potion on it is specifically designed for lecherous people. Lecherous, huh? Just wait and see."

Yun Qingjin was young, so Yun Yuke didn't say much, only seemed a little confused.

"Mother...this..."

"However, the hidden weapon box you're carrying now is the most basic one. Damn, this one can switch between different types of needles. I'll replace it with a new one later. I won't replace it now. This new needle is for temporary pranks or punishments. The one you're carrying now is the real killer move. When we're out and about, survival is the most important thing."

"Okay." Yun Qingjin nodded, holding the needle in her hand, the discomfort from before had subsided slightly.

"So what do we do now? We just said yesterday that there was no real war, but today there is already a war?" Yun Qingjin asked.

"Hmm... Remember what we guessed yesterday? Both sides were prepared for the situation here. Uro is a vital transportation hub and a strategic location that is contested by military forces. The news we heard here must be true!"

As if confirming Yun Yuke's judgment, a few days later, the town began to issue a street cleaning order.

The reason was simple: casualties had begun to occur on the border front, and the army's doctors and wounded soldiers were mostly sent to Wuluo Town.

Ordinary guests who are stranded can only stay inside the inn.

A few days after the start of the war, even the inns became places to treat the wounded.

Although the inn has been able to maintain a decent daily food supply, the quality of the food has declined considerably.

The most crucial thing is...

"Mother, those wounded soldiers are so pitiful." Yun Qingjin kept tugging at Yun Yuke's sleeve. "The smell of blood is so strong."

"We are on the front lines of the war. Don't be afraid, they are all warriors."
