Outside the barracks, hundreds of refugees have been waiting for a long time, but intimidated by the military discipline in the army, they still honestly lined up, although these refugees are basically unkempt and covered with mud, but most of them can be seen to be young and strong, and a very small number of half-grown children, too, when fleeing, the young and middle-aged are always easier to escape than the old people, and the babies who have no ability to help themselves, of course, can only be regarded as a burden and abandoned. There are also people who always refuse to give up the elderly and children to run for their lives alone, but the end is often that their relatives are not saved, and they also lose their lives. Therefore, when an old woman appears in the refugee crowd, even if the old woman is the same sludge, she still stands out from the crowd.

It stands to reason that an old woman is destined not to live long in this environment of the jungle, but this is not the case, not only the refugees took the initiative to help the old woman arrange the position of the porridge, but when they first arrived in the camp, some bad ruffians took the initiative to ask the old woman to trouble, and there were also refugees who came forward to help the old woman solve the trouble. This is not because of how much these refugees respect the old and love the young, but simply because people are emotional animals, when they run away regardless of their lives, they can abandon a qiē, but once they settle down, they will be full of regret for their choices, it can be said that the reason why the old woman is now treated preferentially is entirely because these refugees have transferred their remorse for their relatives to her.

The sergeant who gave the porridge was often soft-hearted, so he often fished some dry goods from the bottom of the pot for her. After beating the porridge, the old woman slowly left the crowd and sat down in a place where no one was around, and then picked up the bowl and swallowed the porridge in small bites. It was not until the bowl was completely empty that the old woman put it down, and then she lay down on the spot with no strength and did not move.

The old woman was so often like this that at first, the refugees thought she was going to die. However, she has been holding on like this for the past few days, and her spirit has become better and better unconsciously, and the refugees are not surprised when they see her, and they don't care about her.

A footstep approached briskly, the old woman opened her eyes, and then she saw a little girl with braids, a face covered with mud, and tattered clothes standing on top of her head: "Mother-in-law, you are here again." "It's not the same as appearance. The girl's voice was extremely clear, full of a lively taste. "Ah Yao, didn't you say not to disturb your mother-in-law at this time? Mother-in-law's body is very tired. The old woman said weakly, but having said that, there was no half of complaint in her eyes, but a doting feeling. Mother-in-law, I've learned everything you taught me a few days ago, what else do you have to give me! "The girl is coquettish." Oh? So fast! The mother-in-law was also a little surprised: "It can't be that I'm lying to my mother-in-law!" "Humph!" The girl was upset: "It's true. If your mother-in-law takes the school exam, she won't be able to answer. I'm going back and struggling for 10 days! "In that case, I'm going to take the test?" Mother-in-law said! "You can take the test," the girl patted her chest nonchalantly.

"Since that's the case......" The mother-in-law was about to come up with the question, but she heard the voice of a young man next to her shouting: "Mother-in-law Xia Ling, Ah Yao, something happened to the little leper!" Come on! "What" Before the two of them could react, the young man was already out of breath and ran over: "The little leper has food poisoning." Mother-in-law, go and save him! Hearing this, her mother-in-law and Ah Yao were shocked, and Ah Yao immediately ran out with a conditioned reflex, and then she guessed that her mother-in-law's legs and feet were quite inflexible. So he turned around and went back, picked up his mother-in-law with the boy, and ran towards the refugee camp.

The little leprosy, in fact, is also a teenager, because he had a leprosy on his head when he fled, and later although he got better, he left a scar, so he was called a little leper, and the porridge given in the army was far from filling his stomach, so almost all the refugees who could move would spontaneously go to the field to dig wild vegetables and go down to the river to catch fish. It's good to fill the belly of dissatisfaction, but because there are many weeds in the wilderness, and the refugees can distinguish the poisonous weeds are extremely rare, so the poisoned people are not uncommon, this situation has not been reversed until the arrival of Xia Ling's mother-in-law, because Xia Ling's mother-in-law can identify many poisonous weeds, and it is also under her teaching that many refugees can gradually distinguish those wild vegetables that can be eaten, those that can never be touched, in this way, the poisoned people become scarce, but there are always those who are hungry, I couldn't help but put my mouth when I saw uncommon wild vegetables, for example, this little leper was like this, and as a result, he was poisoned and fell, fortunately, Xia Ling's mother-in-law was not only able to identify all kinds of wild vegetables, but also a pharmacist, as long as it was not a strong poisonous weed that killed immediately, her mother-in-law could always think of various ways to save that person's life.

However, when the three of them rushed back to the refugee camp, when the mother-in-law saw the white dead fish eyes of the little leper who fell on the tattered bedding for the first time, she suddenly sighed heavily: "How long has it been?" "Not long ago!" A man replied, "Mother-in-law, isn't he okay with the little leper?" Xia Ling's mother-in-law sighed: "The toxicity is too violent, let's do our best!" Then, it's up to the child's creation. The people in the refugee camp are people who are used to seeing death and life, so they don't express too much sadness, and then the mother-in-law went to find the herbs collected these days, because it was too late to suffer, so she simply mashed and squeezed out the juice, and then poured it directly into the mouth of the little leper, as soon as the medicine was entered, the little leper who was lying in a coma immediately convulsed, and then was lifted upside down on his head and feet, and was slapped twice from behind, and suddenly vomited up, and spit out the mixture of porridge and wild vegetables that he had just eaten. After pouring it three or four times in a row, until the little leper's pale face was no longer bloody, the mother-in-law changed the recipe for detoxification, poured it on him, and then asked others to put the little leper on the cleaned bed and leave with a group of people.

"This kind of food poisoning is still too dangerous!" A middle-aged man said in a muffled voice: "It doesn't matter to us adults, it's mainly these children, alas! Compared with mature adults, children are always difficult to control their mouths, and they are often poisoned as a result, Shi Qingyi is also sighing: if it is an ordinary civilian family, in the event of such a thing, the first reaction is to pour a bucket of dung down, the dung has an emetic effect, and most of the poison of the eaten poisonous weeds is discharged from the body before it has time to be released, and naturally there will be no worries about life, but here in the refugee camp, the refugees are often hungry, not to mention how much effect a bucket of dung can have. Even the formed by drinking porridge and wild vegetables all day long is useless.

"It's a pity that the number of civilians in the army has reached the limit, or the benevolence of King Qin, which dispersed a large number of refugees, but unfortunately the spring has passed, if the spring has not passed, the army may distribute seeds to us to open up the wasteland, then at most half a year, we don't have to struggle with hunger all day, but unfortunately now the agricultural time has long passed, autumn is okay to say, what about winter?" The refugees are worried. Li Shimin is already a good person, during the war years, military rations were the top priority, and it was really rare for him to be able to compress and fund refugees as much as possible, but if the funding was increased, not to mention the reaction of Chang'an, that is, the army was restless due to opposition, which was enough to embarrass Li Shimin.

For Li Shimin, if you are not welcome, they are the good ones who are dead, but there will always be "fools" like Li Shimin who will extend their meager helping hand, maybe they know, maybe they don't know, their actions will only make these people continue to struggle in hunger and cold. Buddhists say that the living are miserable and the dead are blissful, but why do these refugees still have unwilling to give in on their worried faces?

I want to live, with the share of the dead! That's why you can be resurrected from the mortal dead!

The meaning of the living is to inherit and display the will of the dead. (To be continued......)
