Noble son of the poor family (19)

On this bow and arrow, there is a small mechanism, which saves effort and has a long range.

Therefore, this arrow went straight into the man's throat. I watched as the blood spurted out, and then the man fell straight down. Those who were gathered on the shore quickly retreated, watching from afar, but they did not dare to come near.

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong in surprise, and when he saw that her hands kept shaking, he said, "It's okay! ”

In fact, Lin Yutong is hands are out of strength. Even if it saves effort, it is a difficult thing for a little girl who only pulls a needle and thread.

When he arrived on the shore, the fourth master helped Lin Yutong out. The barrel cannot be thrown away, and it is useful both as a container for things and as firewood for lighting fires.

As soon as the two of them stood firm, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy ran over and kowtowed to Lin Yutong and the fourth master, "The young master and the girl killed the wicked man, they are the little benefactors, and the little ones will die as cattle and horses." ”

The strange child made Lin Yutong's heart vigilant.

The fourth master said in a low voice: "Raise your head." ”

The boy raised his face, his face stained with tears, misaligning his face with black and white. This child has a beautiful face, listens to talk, and has also read.

The fourth master pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man on the other side, "Come here, the master will ask you a few words." ”

The young man was a little trembling, and it took him a long time to move over.

"Do you know this child?" the fourth master asked.

The young man nodded, "He is the son of the Xiucai family, his name is Cheng Feng." We are all from Xiaogou Village. As he spoke, he pointed to the ocean not far away, "That's our village over there." He turned back to the dead man, "This man is the butcher of the village, and everyone is afraid of him." He ruined Xiucai's lady and killed Xiucaigong. The talented lady also touched ......"

Cheng Feng clenched his hands into fists and cried.

Then he turned and picked up a stone and smashed it down on the head of the dead butcher.

Blood splattered on the child's face, like Shura.

Lin Yutong sighed, natural disasters are terrible, but this human heart is sometimes more terrible than natural disasters.

Xiucai and his wife did not die under the flood, but they died in the hands of people. How not to make people emotional.

Lin Yutong looked at Cheng Feng and felt that this kid was really a clever kid. Knowing that it was not easy for him to survive as a child in such a world, he quickly found a big thick leg to hug.

Cheng Feng didn't get up until he was tired, and knelt at the feet of the fourth master again, "Cheng Feng is willing to be a slave, please accept it." ”

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong before nodding and saying, "Get up." If you want to follow, follow it. ”

Faithful or unfaithful, this has never been a problem. Give him what he wants, and he will be faithful.

The fourth master said to the young man who was still on the side: "Call a few people to bury the dead bodies found around, whether they are human or animal, and bury them." Otherwise, next spring, there will be a plague. ”

This is more useful than anything else. The crowd spontaneously began to move.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong sat on the stump on the side and asked Cheng Feng, "Where is this place now? Why are you here and don't go to the county seat to find a way to live." "What's the use of being stuck here, by attacking the people who come ashore to grab that little ration, or killing a few animals that want to go ashore?

Cheng Feng squatted to the side, and called the fourth master 'master' as soon as he opened his mouth, "Master, you don't know anything." Less than twenty miles further on, there is the county seat of Changyun. But it is heavily guarded, and we are not allowed to enter, and we have no choice. Because the village was not far away, I always thought that the water had receded so that I could go home. So, most of them never left. ”

"How far is it from Changyun County to the capital? Have you ever heard of it?" the fourth master asked.

"Five days! It's a five-day walk. A hint of gloom flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, "Two years ago, my father and mother took me to see a doctor, and when I came back, the money was spent, and we came back on foot." ”

The fourth master and Lin Yutong glanced at each other, then this is really not far away. A couple who are not very strong and take their children to travel, it only took five days, which is three days if they are in the prime of life, morning and evening. If there is a fast horse, it is estimated that it will be a day and a night.

Both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Childe, it's already packed. "That young man went and came back just now, and he actually came to restore the fourth master's life.

It seems that in troubled times, most people are not stupid and know how to hold the thighs of the strong.

The fourth master glanced at the young man, "Let's call the fourth master in the future." ”

The young man was flattered and found that the fourth master was not so terrible, so he hurriedly made a move, "Little Wang Wu, I have seen the fourth master." ”

The fourth master got up, took Wang Wu to the water's edge, and asked him to lead people to dig a pit by the water's edge, and then put charcoal in it to purify a part of the water.

Lin Yutong understood what the fourth master meant, and the two of them were in a hurry, after all, they were a little alone. If there are a few people who are willing to follow, it will only increase the momentum.

She was not idle, this place was not only a person in a hurry to go ashore, but also a small animal.

Lin Yutong shot over, and a fat rabbit fell. Immediately after that, there were a dozen voles, several snakes, and finally, a big black dog.

These things are stewed and boiled into soup, which is enough for them to eat.

"Call someone to deal with it, don't squeeze it when eating, the elderly, children, and women all have a share. Lin Yutong instructed Cheng Feng and stopped caring about it.

Cheng Feng didn't like these people, but he went anyway.

Lin Yutong understood his mentality, after all, when his father and mother were in trouble, no one reached out to help.

But people are like this, and it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

When eating, Lin Yutong and the fourth master both refused, "We ate some dry food in the morning, and we can hold on." Save a bite and count it out. "In fact, such an unclean meal, the fourth master and Lin Yutong can't eat it.

Cheng Feng got a rabbit leg. It was the first meal he'd had in a few days.

At night, Lin Yutong and the fourth master slept alternately. Cheng Feng was lying by the campfire at the feet of the two of them, sleeping very deeply.

When it was almost dawn, the fourth master also woke up. Lin Yutong whispered to him at this time: "I asked Cheng Feng, my father and mother and big brother are not here to dock." "Neither did the Lin family.

The fourth master nodded, "There are many forks along the road." I don't know where I went. We still have to rush to the capital as soon as possible. ”

When it was dawn, Lin Yutong and the fourth master were already ready to go.

Wang Wu took four people, all of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old, "We are willing to follow the fourth master." "At least you don't starve to death along the way.

The fourth master nodded lightly, "Then let's go." ”

After walking for more than ten miles, Lin Yutong took the cakes out of the burden behind his back and gave them a large piece.

"Master, I have to find a way to get food. Lin Yutong said in a low voice.

At this time, a few people hid in the grove to eat, because there were victims along the road. If you see something to eat, you can't rob it. It's not an empty phrase that two fists are hard to beat four hands.

"Further on is the county seat. The fourth master pointed to the city in the distance, "Let's go and see first." ”

After walking less than two miles, there was a crowd of people in front of me. They are all waiting here for the county seat to open, or the county government to open a warehouse.

There was still someone in the crowd saying, "I heard that Shunping County has revolted." Open a warehouse to release grain, even if it is dead, it is a dead ghost...... After eating well, I slept with the aunt and lady of the official master's house, even if it was worth being a ghost......"

There were even voices of response.

The fourth master narrowed his eyes. It is a quick horse from the capital and can be reached in one day and one night. It's been a few days, and there's not even a word of relief. The situation is getting worse and worse.

Lin Yutong sighed at these people. No matter what the situation in the imperial court is now, whoever dares to rebel now will definitely die the worst.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against Qin, and as a result, they were suppressed. Later, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang overthrew the Qin Dynasty.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jiao was suppressed, and only then did the world become chaotic and there were three kingdoms.

There are countless such examples in history, and Lin Yutong knows it, not to mention the fourth master.

"Let's go!" the fourth master turned around with people, and he couldn't mix in these mallets. Otherwise, sooner or later you will be implicated.

couldn't go into the city to get food, so the fourth master and Lin Yutong hunted all the way. Now this prey is not easy to fight, because the bark of the grass roots and trees along the road has been stripped off.

But at least ensure that the few people who follow will not starve to death.

And the fourth master is also silently observing everyone's temperament.

This walk is three days. In the evening of the third day, I rushed outside the capital.

The gates were closed, and it was also difficult to enter. Outside the city gates, thousands of people gathered. Lin Yutong looked at it and felt terrified.

If this were to break out in the event of a conflict, the consequences would be unimaginable.

According to the information gathered along the way, the affected areas cover most of the two provinces. Victims are still pouring into the capital.

The fourth master went around for half a circle before he went around to the north gate. There was no word outside the walls. He took down the arrow and carved a 'Yin Si'. Lin Yutong stood in front of the fourth master, blocking everyone's gaze.

After the fourth master finished carving, the two of them mixed into the crowd with people.

"What should I do? Cheng Feng looked at the people gathered outside the city, and felt a little anxious.

The fourth master glanced at the direction of the city wall, "Don't worry, wait until evening." ”

At night, there are always people who want to make extra money. As long as the starting price is paid, everything is not a problem.

As night fell, the crowd slowly became agitated. I can often hear the screams and scolding of women.

The night is a good cover for sin.

The fourth master dragged Lin Yutong's hand and patted it gently, telling her not to be afraid.

The sound of bangs sounded in the city, and it was time.

The fourth master opened his eyes, and Lin Yutong woke up.

Wake up a few people who followed and quietly move towards the city. After a short effort, a hanging basket was placed on the city wall, and a bearded middle-aged man stood inside, "What price can you offer?"
