Chapter 235: Journey to Lixia
When Chen Heng entered the house, he put the maid's tea on the bookcase, and said respectfully: "Prince, it's getting late, and the sedan chair is already waiting outside." ”
Qiu Sheng still looked at the peach blossoms competing for beauty in the window lattice, and after a while, he said slowly: "Only this time, if there is a next time, I will definitely not be spared, some people you can provoke, but some people you can't provoke, and you can't slack off!" ”
With a bang, his knees slammed on the ground, Chen Heng was shrewd, instantly saw through the stakes inside, and said in fear: "The subordinates deserve to die for their crimes, there are no eyes, and when the girl comes again in the future, the subordinates will definitely report immediately, and there will be no trace of neglect." Chen Heng thought that there was Princess Hachisi in the imperial city, and he had a marriage contract with the prince, although he knew that Zhen Yue was not an ordinary woman, but he was only one of the prince's many women, but now he was terrified, he heard anger in the prince's tone, how could he classify Zhen Yue as a palace woman.
"Just remember!"
When Zhen Yue and the others left Xining, it was already a day later, and on that day, the swallows were crying, the mountains were covered with a thin veil, the air was cold, and there were repeated clear smoke rising in the distance.
Zhen Yue and Qiu Sheng stood on the side of the road, there were a few small wildflowers in the wide two lanes, swaying left and right in the breeze, like naughty children, behind them were waiting volunteers, without a trace of urging, trying not to disturb the two.
Fu Ziran smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and the worries that had been pent up in his heart for several days suddenly became clear.
"The spring is still cold, and you still have to dress warmly every day." Qiu Sheng was dressed upright, with handsome eyebrows, and the dark red cloak fell on the woman's shoulder, tied it carefully, and his slender hands drove the warm wind.
Zhen Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "Xining has just experienced a big war, so don't be too tired." ”
"I know." Qiu Sheng looked at her quietly, as if he could never get enough of it, and his voice was as good as a string: "I'll pick you up in a few days, don't get sick, don't be reckless, wait for me." ”
"I'm not a delicate lady, don't worry." Zhen Yue saw that it was not too early, and said, "Go back, I will write to you immediately if there is news." ”
Walking to the horse not far away, she turned over, the whole person was heroic, she waved her hand, and then whipped away with the crowd.
The dust covered the mist, and the figure gradually disappeared into the horizon, Qiu Sheng actually had a lot to tell her, a lot of sweet words to say, but he couldn't say a word, they seemed to have been separated, they hadn't really stayed together, he was always thinking, wait, this day will not be too far away.
But when I really waited for that day, it was already a matter of time, and there was no time to keep.
From Xining to Lixia, the distance is not far or close, the closer to Lixia, the more the magnificent scenery withers, as far as the eye can see, there are bare hills, deserted pastoral waves and wild grasses.
When I arrived at Lixia, it was already evening, there had just been a spring rain last night, the air was very wet and cold, the horses' hooves splashed muddy water droplets in the soil, and the sky was dark, and there were dark clouds piling up in the sky, and there would be a rainstorm at any time.
They sped up their journey, and when they arrived at Baihuapo from the official road, they saw repeated green smoke in the distance, and they smelled a faint porridge fragrance on the tip of their noses.
"Who! Get your name in! ”
The sound of weapons rang out in an instant.
"We were sent by Xining to rescue!"
The sound of footsteps suddenly approached, the night was getting dark, the two sides of the people and horses were facing each other across a slope, and they were scrutinizing, and a man in black clothes walked out of the camp, the shadow of black pressure was printed on him, the outline could not be seen clearly, but he could feel that he was very young.
"Sent by Xining, why haven't we been notified?" There was a hint of caution in the man's voice.
"What? I thought my face was the best notification. A woman walked out, the faint red light of the bonfire in the distance sprinkled on her face, the corner of the woman's mouth pursed a light smile, and said slowly: "Akang, long time no see, don't come unharmed." ”
"Girl......!!" Mu Kang's face was shocked, incredulous and happy, he hurriedly waved and said, "It's my own person." ”
The Yunchuan army behind them put away their vigilance and gave way to the road.
At this time, it was close to the end of the day, there was smoke everywhere, a large group of people were distributing food, only to see the wide Baihua Slope scattered with people, there were patients lying on the ground sighing, there were hungry old people who were only skinny and bone-covered, there were women and children holding children, a large number of refugees and patients stared at empty eyes, and when they saw the comers, it was like seeing the hope of luxury.
Every tent was full of people, grass and insects were everywhere, and it was the season when everything woke up, and the plague of germs was like a volcano erupting day by day.
Mu Kang was a little cramped, his boots were stained with mud, his face was as thin and tender as seven years ago, and his cheeks were always blushing, and he hurriedly changed people to make room for the volunteers to settle in, and beckoned his men to prepare decent meals.
Zhen Yue saw that they couldn't open the pot, so she hurriedly asked the volunteers to bring a few truckloads of grain, Mu Kang saw this, and was overjoyed: "The girl came at the right time, our military rations are almost finished, and we will run out of food soon." ”
"Ah Qiu estimated that you couldn't bear it here, so let me bring these truckloads of grain."
"You should be hungry on your way, come and eat some." Mu Kang hurriedly beckoned.
The wooden table that was temporarily erected was placed with some clear water-like porridge, a few pieces of fat floating on it, and a few plates of wild vegetables that had just been heated in the pot.
The small wooden case surrounded a circle of people, Mu Kang also smiled a little embarrassedly, and Ji Jianxuan looked worried when he saw the refugees gathered together.
"I'm slacking you." Mu Kang said.
"20,000 people have to eat and drink, it is not easy for you to carry it until now, there is no slackness." Zhen Yue picked up the porridge and drank it carefully, as early as when she was training in the concentration camp, she had to be hungry every day, and she already felt that the porridge with fat floating in front of her was good.
"There are wars and hunger, and it would be nice to have a bowl of porridge." Fu Ziran drank with a grunt, as if he was hungry.
"Brother, drink slowly." Zhen Yue looked at him amusedly.
"I hurriedly drank it to see the situation, there has been a perennial plague, and now is the season when the plague is gone, I have to hurry." After a while, he finished drinking the porridge, patted Zhen Yue's head gently, and went to the refugee rest place with the medicine box.
Mu Kang was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Brother Ling is a doctor, it's really good, many people have died in a row in the past few days, and we are helpless, so we send people to ask the doctor in the state and county, and we have to toss back and forth for several days, and when the doctor comes, everyone is dead." He sighed helplessly.
Ji Jianxuan frowned and said, "Lixia Mansion Yin will not be saved when he sees death?" ”
Mu Kang snorted coldly: "These guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they care about the life and death of these people, and it is already a great luck to drive out only 10,000 refugees." A few days ago, a few people couldn't stand the hunger and ran to let the defenders open the city gate, who knew that they were killed by random arrows, and we were unable to do anything about it in Baihuapo, so we could only slow down the disaster first, and wait for the documents that passed through Zhoucheng to come down, and then we came to settle the place where these refugees went.
