Chu Yun sneered, "Tang Gongzi, what are you afraid of, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Tang Yue thought about it carefully, and it was true that no one else was afraid of a weak girl, so he couldn't help but blush and strode in front of them.

"Brother Yu, I'll lead the way. ”

"Yuezi, it's better to be careful..."Long Xingyu looked at the dense woods on both sides of the road and reminded worriedly.

However, when they walked through this wood, they didn't encounter the bandits that Chu Yun said, just like the more a person cares about something, this matter may pass like this, the past is silent, originally afraid of what they didn't want to happen, but they didn't happen but felt a little regretful.

...

...

Outside Yongxing City:

Suburban desert edges.

Two old men with staggering steps, carrying their bags on their backs, supported each other and walked towards Yongxing City.

"Take a break, old man. The old woman suddenly panted with her hands on her back.

"Well, take a break, it's really old and useless. ”

The old man put down his bags and sat down on a stone next to him, and said with a sigh as he sat down.

"Hey... Old man, look, is there a person lying over there?" the old woman said nervously as she suddenly pointed to the distance.

Lying on the edge of this desert was Li Jiu'er, who was already in a coma, without eating a little or drinking a sip of water for a day and a night, at this time Li Jiu'er was completely overdrawn and lying on the ground dying.

"Let's go, old man, go over and have a look. The old woman walked over with the old man.

"Girl, wake up... Girl," the old woman touched Li Jiu'er's forehead with her hand and whispered.

"Old woman, this girl is not from us, she must have come from somewhere else. The old man said vigilantly.

Li Jiu'er was still wearing a short linen skirt at this time, with a red woven jacket on her upper body and a black down jacket. The two old men were of course surprised by the fact that they were wearing cotton slippers on their feet.

"No matter where this girl comes from, it is important to save people first, this girl is suffering from the cold, the old man quickly bring water. The old woman said while holding Li Jiu'er.

The old woman took the kettle and poured a little water and put it into Li Jiu'er's mouth.

Li Jiu'er dipped in a little water and moved slightly.

"Wake up... Old man... Wake up," cried the old woman with joy.

"It's... This... Where... Huh?" Li Jiu'er slowly opened her eyes, and asked the old man beside her with chapped lips.

"Girl, you fainted, and we only found you when we passed by here. The old woman said with concern.

"Grandma...". Li Jiu'er shed two lines of dry tears.

From the sound of grandma being speechless to shedding rolling tears, you can imagine the suffering and grievances that Li Jiu'er has suffered in the past two days and two nights.

The loneliness and coldness of the desert, hunger, physical and mental exhaustion to the last moment of the desire to survive, are all things that this girl has never encountered when she is so old.

This is like a kind and lovely, simple and ignorant princess, who was suddenly sent to a deserted primeval forest one day. These experiences are something that a normal human body would not experience.

"Child, don't cry..."The old woman stroked Li Jiu'er's messy hair, and two lines of muddy old tears flowed out.

"Son, what's your name, and where do you come from?" the old man asked, bending down and whispering with concern.

"Ahem... Grandparents, I... My name is Li Jiu'er, I came from a far place, and... Separated from his family. Li Jiu'er coughed weakly.

"It doesn't matter, baby, go home with your grandparents..."The old woman hugged Li Jiu'er and comforted her distressedly.

Looking at the two old men in front of him, Li Jiu'er's desperate and helpless heart finally had some warmth rising from the bottom of her heart.

These two old men originally lived in Yongxing City, the old man's surname was Zhou, and the neighbors around him called him Old Man Zhou, who was originally going to a relative's house, but on the way home, he didn't expect to meet Li Jiu'er, who was dying. Li Jiu'er also deserved to die. Rescued by two old men.

When Li Jiu'er followed the two old men to the home of the old man in Yongxing City, Li Jiu'er's infection with the wind cold became even more serious.

The next morning, Li Jiu'er lay on the bed and felt a terrible headache, she tried to sit up, but felt weak and dizzy.

"Girl..."Mrs. Zhou came to the room at some point and asked with concern.

Last night, Mrs. Zhou saw that Li Jiu'er was infected with a cold, so she asked Li Jiu'er to go to bed early after eating and taking some of the decoction she boiled.

"Grandma, I... I'm looking for someone..."Li Jiu'er thought that she could barely sit up, but unexpectedly, her arms couldn't exert any strength at all, and she fell on the bed weakly again.

"Alas... Girl, even if you want to find someone, you have to cultivate your body first. ”

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she helped Li Jiu'er cover the quilt, got up and said:

"Girl, you should cultivate well here with the old woman, grandma, I will go and get you some herbs to cure typhoid fever. ”

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the door.

"Hey... Old woman, how is the girl?"

Old man Zhou saw Mrs. Zhou go out and hurried over.

"This girl may not be accustomed to the water and soil, and she is infected with the wind and cold, alas..."Mrs. Zhou sighed.

"Old woman, I'll go grab some herbs, and you can stew some soup for the girl..."

“”

Old Man Zhou said and put down the bamboo basket in his hand, took some broken silver from Mrs. Zhou and walked towards the market.

This old man Mrs. Zhou is also a poor person, when she was young, she originally had a son, because she did not go home in the border army for several years, and then gradually there was no news, Zhou Laohan took someone to inquire, and heard that it was a defection, and since then Zhou Laohan did not dare to mention the matter of having a son.
