Liu Shuangli pulled the nine-year-old Lian'er, standing under the shade of the trees on the hillside, looking at the nearly barren fields in the distance, and the official road in front of him that was in disrepair and uneven. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how long I walked along this official road, but I didn't come across a horse-drawn carriage or a pedestrian. It seems that tonight will not be able to catch up with the next village and town, and will be sleeping in the wilderness again.

Shortly after August 15, the bright moon in the sky at night was unusually round, which made people feel more homesick.

Entrusted by Liu Liniang, it has been more than two months since I took Lian'er with me. The little girl also shouted for her mother every night from the beginning, and now she finally accepts the fact that she is far away from her mother and completely depends on her.

All the way north, before crossing the Yellow River, everything was still going well, although you can often see homeless people, but they are lucky, they can find inns or farmhouses to stay every night, and they have never been hungry. But after crossing the Yellow River, the situation began to get worse and worse.

I often rushed to a village or town, but what I saw was an empty scene, the fields were cracked, the thorns were covered with grass, and it was a desolate scene.

As a result, the dry food he brought with him would not grow enough. Liu Shuangli was flustered but helpless, but Lian'er couldn't help but cry because she couldn't help but be hungry.

"Big brother, you said you were going to take me to find my father, but where is my father, there is no one here?" Lian'er often cried and asked like this, which made Liu Shuangxuan irritable, but when she saw her tearful and pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear it, so she could only search her intestines and find good words to comfort her, coaxing for a while.

The heaven and earth in the north are really more and more barren as they go up, and the people who have fled from home have been nearly forty percent, and a great mountain and river field has been abandoned and no one cultivates it, which makes people can't bear to be desolate in their hearts.

On this day, the two children went to a small town, which looked pretty good. I heard that because there is a big mountain in the north as a barrier, the official road is not smooth, and the Mongolian people can come to rob on horseback, and the people's life can still go on, so the people in the villages and towns in this area have not fled.

However, when there was a drought in the north the previous year, although the underground rivers in this area were abundant, and the crops were more or less preserved, and there was no serious famine, the people's lives were really hard every year. I don't know how long the people here can endure it, like running away from home elsewhere, or becoming bandits.

Bandits are rampant in this area, this is the information that Liu Shuangli got when he received a letter from the Han government a few days ago. At the same time, the letter also told her that the Zhengbei League is now active in the Changping area.

After receiving this letter, Liu Shuangli knew that she didn't have to go north anymore, but should go east instead.

Continuing to walk, Lian'er had no more doubts. It's very hard to go north, and she is often hungry, but the big brother is suffering with her and hungry together, she can see it, so she can't go to mess with the big brother.

In fact, since taking Lian'er, there has always been a question in Liu Shuang's centrifugation. Why did Liu Liniang ask her to bring Lian'er to her father?

It is said that Lian'er followed Liu Liniang, although she was lonely and lonely, she was well fed and lived well, and she had no worries about food and clothing. Why did you send her to the north, this barren and poor place?

Moreover, the Zhengbei League, no matter how strong and big this gang is, it can ensure food, clothing, and housing, but its rise is destined to be taboo by the imperial court. How can it be compared with the Three Rivers Gang, which has been operating in the Yangtze River for many years and has a solid foundation?

Sending off her daughter and separating mother and daughter is the most painful thing in life. And it is still sent from the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River to the place of disaster and famine in the north.

It's not human nature to send good to bad, right? But Liu Liniang asked for it. Although Liu Shuangli didn't know why, she had already made a promise to Liu Liniang, and she couldn't break her promise, and she would definitely send Lian'er to her father.

Just when Liu Shuangli received the letter from the Han government and changed the road from north to east, the time had flowed from August to September.

On this day, Liu Shuangli took Lian'er and came to a small mountain village.

I asked the locals, this place is quite close to the capital, if you ride a fast horse, it only takes a day to get to the capital.

Hearing this, Liu Shuangxing couldn't help but think of the person in Jingzhong, the person who complained about her running too far in every letter, and the person who replied excitedly after receiving her clay figurine that he wanted to give her a big gift.

Thinking that this month is her sixteenth birthday, thinking that they haven't seen each other for nearly a year, thinking about whether she should go to see him to relieve this lovesickness?!

I heard that that guy is in Beijing now, and there are a bunch of rumors. I heard that the rumors have changed from the original good hunt to the current good man. What the hell did that boy from the Han Mansion give him?

Liu Shuangli hesitated, he wanted him to stay in the palace with peace of mind, but it's been a year, and it's good to see each other, isn't it?

On this day, I started from the small mountain village, halfway down the road, and looked ahead, thinking about whether to continue eastward or turn south.

Suddenly, I heard several poignant cries for help and a few arrogant laughter not far away, which shocked the two children. When Liu Shuangli was leaving, he grabbed Lian'er and ran to the grass on the side, lay on the ground, and hid himself.

Looking for the sound, but I saw that under the dirt slope on the side, several big men were chasing a few pedestrians with bright knives. A few pedestrians, both men and women, were obviously just ordinary peasant people, without any self-defense, and were restrained by a few big men with big knives in a few moments.

Liu Shuangli looked at it and was shocked, knowing that this was a bandit robbing. The letter from Han Fu said that bandits were rampant in this area, and they were lucky not to meet them a few days ago. I finally met today, but it was like this.

Seeing that the packages carried by several pedestrians were snatched by the bandits, after the search, they stepped forward again, and then searched the bodies of these pedestrians.

was searching, and suddenly saw one of the big men laughing proudly: "This girl is really good, haha, Lao Tzu likes it." ”

A man next to him came over to take a look at it, and also sneered, and laughed: "It's good, haha, what do you want?"

The big man laughed and picked up one of the women in the pedestrian and said, "Today's marks are all for you, Lao Tzu only needs this girl." ”

Another big man laughed and laughed: "I will pick up the goods, and I picked up the best, haha." ”

The big man just laughed and ignored it, carrying the woman who was constantly struggling and crying, turned around and ran down the slope. The other big men laughed even more mockingly: "What a rush pervert, I can't wait at night." While laughing, he slapped and kicked again, and knocked down a few pedestrians who wanted to rush out to save people.

The direction that the big man carrying the woman was running in was where Liu Shuangli and Lian'er were hiding, and the two children looked at their hearts and raised their throats. Fortunately, the man seemed to be really anxious, and only ran to a small slope to cover his body, and the others on the road could not see it, so he immediately stopped, put down the woman, and rushed up impatiently and raped him.

In this place, the people on the road could not see it, but the two children hiding in the grass could see it clearly.

Liu Shuangli left that face, and suddenly turned red. They were so close that the two children could see the woman's every struggle clearly.

Listening to the woman's bitter cry for help, Liu Shuangli wanted to save it, but when she looked down, Lian'er, who had already been frightened by what she saw in front of her, immediately held back again. Gritting his teeth, his heart was horizontal again, Liu Shuangli hugged Lian'er, covered her mouth, cautiously prostrate and took a few steps back, looking at the woman who was only concentrating on the woman under him, and didn't notice the movement at all. Liu Shuangli jumped lightly, hugged Lian'er a few times, and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.

Seeing that it was far enough to escape, Liu Shuangli put down Lian'er, pulled her to sit on the ground, gasped for breath, and it took a long time to recover from Shicai's screams.

Listening carefully, the shouting was negligible, Liu Shuangli breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on his back with his limbs wide open. After another half a day, Liu Shuangli turned over and sat down, and at a glance saw Lian'er's big round eyes turning towards her bones, and her face was full of inquiry, she didn't understand what Shicai saw at all. Liu Shuangli smiled bitterly, and it was not easy to explain what had just happened to the little girl on a blank piece of paper, so he patted the girl's head and made a few more grimaces, making the girl laugh very much. Liu Shuangli breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stood up, patted the dust on his body, pulled the girl up, swept the small hill slightly, and picked up a smooth road to walk.

Suddenly, I heard a miserable scream on the left, and the two children were stunned for a moment, and then they saw two people running up from the hillside. Running ahead was a disheveled woman with messy hair, and she screamed loudly, and rushed to the mountain from below, and without stopping, she slammed into a large rock, and when she landed, she broke her head, and the blood stained most of the rock red.

Liu Shuangli was stunned for a moment, but the lotus she held in her hand was stunned, and she couldn't help but scream 'ah', and then threw herself into Liu Shuangli's arms, her body still trembling.

The woman ran up with him, and it was the big man who raped people at the right time, who was also disheveled and had messy hair. Seeing the woman crashing into the rock, the big man not only didn't think to rush forward to rescue the next person, but when he saw the incident, he immediately stopped, cleared his throat and spit out a mouthful of nitrogen, then turned around and left with a curse.

Suddenly hearing Lian'er's cry, the big man immediately stopped again and turned his head to look.

"Damn, bad luck. The man kept scolding loudly, rushing in front of the two children with an arrow, and waving his big palms at the same time, looking at it like he wanted to kill people with one move.

At this time, Liu Shuangxuan was already angry, and when she saw the big man coming forward, she did not hesitate, holding Lian'er with one hand and giving way, and the other hand to her waist twitched. I saw a dazzling silver light flash, and a long bloody hole had been cut on the neck of the big man who rushed forward. (To be continued.) )
