Chapter 271: Difficult to Walk
Chapter 271: Difficult to Walk
This food disaster was not affected by one town or two towns, but the entire area of Dawei was affected. The capital is in the middle, and its four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, all have different degrees of disaster, and in the most serious place, the people starve to death in the whole village, and those people naturally thought about coming out to escape the famine, but within a range of hundreds or thousands of miles, there is no surplus food.
It is a barely full town, and the city gates are closed for fear that the disaster victims will enter the city to rob and grab food.
At this time, what righteousness, what saves people's lives and wins the Seven Extremes Floating Slaughter have been abandoned by people, and being able to survive is the most important thing.
The victims also gathered to storm the city gate, but they had reached the point of exhaustion all the way, and how could they have the strength to break through the city gate, and finally they looked at the city gate and died unwillingly.
It wasn't until he was close to Wushui that Xie Ke knew why Qi Lu chose the place of Tongzhen.
Because Tongzhen is the largest town in the south of the Great Wei Dynasty, there are only nearly 10,000 people who have registered and made the register. It is typically sparsely populated. Such a large town, with its small population, is especially advantageous at such times.
And after Qi Lu came to Tongzhen, the first thing he did was to lead his men and those people who had fled here to storm the gate of Tongzhen. With Qi Lu out of the horse, Tongzhen is an iron wall, and it has not stopped Qi Lu's pace after all.
He not only broke through the city gate, but also directly ordered Tongzhen to receive all the victims from all directions, as long as the victims entered Tongzhen, no one was allowed to drive them, for a time, Tongzhen became a refuge for the people in a radius of hundreds of miles.
These messages came from the mouths of the victims.
Now all the living people that Xie Ke and his party can see are desperately rushing to Tongzhen. Only Xie Ke and his party are mavericks. The place Xie Ke is going to is still Wushui. Wushui is only two days away from Tongzhen, day and night.
The hungry victims along the way looked at the mounts under Xie Ke and his party, and their eyes seemed to glow green.
Naturally, there are also those who are eager to try, but most of the victims are ordinary people, so they have to work hard for their stomachs, and they take care of their lives after all. Therefore, at the beginning, Xie Ke's carriage was hit several times, so that after the blood of the victims stained the wheels red, the victims saw the blood on the carriage and no longer dared to be reckless.
The reason why they rushed all the way to Tongzhen was just to survive?
If you lose your life on the road, it really doesn't pay off. And this kind of thing of giving food, Xie Ke also did it when he first left Beijing. But a steamed bun can cause a robbery. In the end, Xie Ke could only watch the children he wanted to save die at the feet of countless victims. She was frightened and frightened. After that, she instructed her men to keep an eye on their rations. At this time, kindness brings evil consequences.
When I first came out of the capital. Daya had to talk outside Xie Ke's car for a long time every day. Whatever you say is prosperity. The women in the guanli are beautiful and so on. But after a few days of trekking, he saw too many bones on the side of the road, and Dalai became silent. There was even a day. Daya said in a solemn tone to Xie Ke.
These are all punishments from the gods, and the punishment is the monarch's immorality, but these sufferings should not be borne by the people. It should be the emperor who should be ...... Naturally, Daya was gagged by Lin Changyuan in the end.
Even if you think so in your heart, you can't resort to your mouth.
After that, Daya became silent, and Lin Changyuan was always on guard since he left Beijing.
For fear that there will be people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and come up to cause trouble and loot. In the past few years, the good people have been forced to become bandits, and dozens of these victims have gathered together, as if they were a gang of robbers.
As they traveled south, the team became more and more silent, and even the little girl Xiangye frowned all day long, and looked away from the car window with a look of reluctance.
"Young grandma, a lot of people starved to death?" Xiangye said in a trembling voice, they had just passed through a village, and there was no one alive in the entire village, and they either starved to death or fled away. And those who starved to death didn't even have a corpse collector, so they were so violent and wilderness. Fortunately, it is the middle of winter at this time, and if it is the middle of summer, I am afraid that the epidemic has already broken out.
"Salamella, don't look at it." Momiji said on the side.
Kazuha nodded, trying to curl herself up in a ball and curl up in the corner of the carriage.
In contrast, the red leaves, who seemed to be timid and talkative, gently beat Xie Ke's back and added water as usual, a picture that was not affected by the tragic scene outside the car in the slightest, Xie Ke had a very good impression of the two sisters. Thanks to the care of the two of them along the way, it was none other than them, and she had to add a lot of hardships along the way. Xie Ke is also relieved about the temperament of these two sisters, these two sisters were personally selected by Yuhui, and Xie Ke naturally trusts Yuhui's vision very much.
"Momiji, aren't you afraid?" At this time, the car was smooth, and Xie Ke could drink a cup of warm tea peacefully.
"Slaves and maids are naturally afraid." "This is unusual, Xiangye is so frightened that she trembles, you are very calm, your sister's temperament, I thought Xiangye was the bold one." Momiji smiled, she was calm and calm, even if she laughed, she was shy.
"Little grandmother didn't know that when my sisters were young, our hometown was flooded, and there were also dead people everywhere, and it was the height of summer at that time, and the situation was even more miserable than this. It's winter, and it snowed a few days ago, and in fact, all the scary ones were buried in the snow. Xiangye was a year younger than me, and I didn't remember it at that time. That's why she thinks these are terrible. Hongye said calmly, Xie Ke just listened with a smile, but the fragrance on the side suddenly widened his eyes when he heard the words. Sister, there is such a thing, why have you never said it. ”
"What am I telling you all about? My father and mother are also dead, I might as well tell you that my father and mother died of illness, so you won't think cranky in your heart. ”
“…… Sister, my father and mother didn't die of illness, but were drowned in the flood? The fragrance said in a trembling voice. Xie Ke couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that he had seen a lot along the way, and his heart was hardened, even when the two sisters talked about how their father and mother died tragically at this time, she heard it in her ears, and she just sighed that the world was cold.
"Yes."
"Sister, how can you hide this kind of thing from me?" The fragrance seemed to be a little angry, and her eyes were wide open to Momiji. "Xiangye, the young grandmother is here, don't mess around. Our sisters have depended on each other since childhood, and it has been a blessing for several lifetimes to be able to enter the house to serve the young grandmother, when you were still young, our sisters were all over the home, you asked me that everyone else has a father, why don't we have it? How can I reply to you, you have no idea what it means to be drowned, I can only tell you that my father and mother are sick and dead.
Let the young grandmother smile, at that time Xiangye was not sensible, we went around for home, I knew an old beggar, she died of illness, Xiangye asked me if my father and mother also died like this, I nodded. Speaking of these pasts, Momiji's eyes are also red.
"Xiangye, the past can't be chased, not to mention that the red leaves are also for your sake." Xie Ke finally sighed softly.
Panda nodded. "The slave and maid know, in fact, my father and mother have been dead for so many years, where do I really care whether my father and mother died of illness or drowned, the slave and maid just feel that the slave and maid have been too ignorant over the years, and they have to take care of Sister A everywhere, and they don't even know that Sister Ah has such a past in her heart. The slave maid felt ashamed of her sister. ”
Xie Ke smiled with relief.
She had some Mingyue Yuhui why she chose these two sisters alone.
My sister seems to be weak, but she actually has a resolute personality, and my sister seems to be heartless, lively and straightforward, but in fact, she is broad-minded and very sensible.
"The slave's housework is so tired that the young grandmother is tired." In the end, Momiji smiled apologetically. "What stupid things to say, it's a good thing that your sisters can talk about this, Momiji, you have to tell Xiangye about this after all, this matter has been in your heart for so many years, you are tired, and your heart should rest. As for Xiangye, you should understand the bitterness in your sister's heart, no matter what happens in the future, you sisters will share weal and woe together. ”
"Slave and maid, thank you for your teachings." The two sisters bowed down in unison.
At this time, Lin Changyuan's voice outside the carriage rang out. "Young grandma, are we hurrying to Wushui Town tonight? Or do you want to camp here and make your way tomorrow morning? "Which one does Ah Yuan think is more suitable?" Xie Ke replied softly.
"We haven't found out what the subordinates think of the disaster in Wushui Town, so it's better to camp here, and when the spies find out the inside story of Wushui, we will enter Wushui Town tomorrow."
"In that case, let's camp here." Xie Ke finally commanded. Outside the car, the forest Changyuan should be down.
Soon the team stopped and set up camp as usual......
Guards are on guard on the perimeter.
Daya and his party stood guard around the carriage and were responsible for Xie Ke's safety. The rest of the guards buried the pot and cooked the food.
In order to fear that the smell of rice would attract a large number of victims, the group of people along the way were shocked with dry food. said that it was to prepare dinner, but it was just boiling hot water, soaking the frozen hard cakes softly, and then serving them with dried meat.
Xie Ke has been pampered since she was a child, that is, she is not arrogant, but she is naturally very delicate when she is raised like this.
But for the sake of his second master......
Xie Ke really suffers everything. I went to Beijing alone, went to the north in person, looked for a husband for thousands of miles, and this time I came to visit the southern miasma. This trip was different from the trip to the North. At that time, the disaster was not so serious, and it was said that it was a rush along the way, but it was actually more like a trip, and the first half of the road was accompanied by the second master, and the husband and wife were in the carriage, which was quite wild.
After the news of the second master's distress in the north came, the young grandmother went to the north in person, and at least the food was delicious along the way. But on this trip, I didn't even eat a meal of white rice. The cake is soaked in hot water to soften, and it tastes like chewing wax in the mouth, and it is added to the dried meat to accompany the food. They are nothing, and they have experienced more difficult and difficult journeys than this, but Xie Ke is different.
In short, Lin Changyuan felt that if he saw his second master, he would send the young grandmother to the second master safely.
My own grandfather must have peeled off a layer of skin on him. [Mo Mo Da, the first change, ask for a monthly pass~~~] (To be continued.) )
