After the rest, there are more and more people on the official road, among which most of them are dragging children and daughters, carrying the old and supporting the young, pushing wheelbarrows, or pulling carts, all of them go out with their families. After Cen Shou inquired, he learned that there were Japanese robbers attacking Ninghai, and these ordinary people had come out to flee, and many of them were also heading for Xinhe City.

"I really didn't expect that the two Zhejiang provinces would be in such a mess." Sitting on the wheel this summer, I looked at it with my eyes, and the official road in front of me was full of people, and I couldn't see my head.

The carriage struggled through the crowds until it reached the ferry port in the early afternoon.

And when I saw the situation at the ferry, I gasped this summer -- there were so many people that the river became an embankment, and the crowd was blocked in front of the river, walking upstream and downstream.

There were also many people sitting in the shade of the trees by the river, either waiting for people or waiting for ferries.

Under the tree are people, on the tree are cicadas, and there are posters on the tree, leaving messages and looking for people, and the paste drips down the body of the tree, and the white swaying paper, and the sound of cicadas, piercing people's temples suddenly.

This kind of scene, don't say that they haven't even seen Uncle Beggar this summer.

"Is there a boatman?" This summer, I stood on the wheels of the car and looked out to the river.

Yang Yue built a pergola with his hand, and was also looking: "So many people want to cross the river, even if there is a boat, we have to wait until tomorrow, not to mention that we have a carriage, and we have to find a bigger boat to make it." ”

Looking down the river this summer, there are only one or two boats ferrying, and they are all small boats, and it is very difficult to lead the horses up, and the carriages must not be able to pass.

Cen Shou squeezed to the ferry to inquire, and only came back after a while, his brows furrowed like iron bumps: "The army urgently allocated grain and grass, and requisitioned many boats, and there are only these two small boats left here...... I've heard that other ferries are the same. ”

"There's no way but to wait here." Thinking about what to do this summer, "Find a place to rest first, then sell the carriage, and then hire the carriage again when you get to the other side." ”

If you want to go to Xinhe City, you can only cross the river, don't think about it, Cen Shou can't think of any other way, so he invited Chun Yumin and the maid to get off the carriage together, and found a shade for them to rest. Yang Yue also took Mrs. Shen and Uncle Beggar into the carriage. Ah Rui was already able to walk a few steps on his own, but the scars on his face had not disappeared, which was very terrifying, and this summer he found a black gauze hat to buckle on his head.

After a few trips back and forth, the clothes on the carriage were all removed, Cen Shou unloaded the horse, went to find a buyer, and asked everyone to wait for him under the tree.

"Girl, drink some water." The maid poured a glass of water from the water bladder, dripped a drop of rose dew, and brought it to Chun Yumin's hand, while glancing uneasily at Ah Rui, who was dressed in black and tightly wrapped in black next to her.

Chun Yumin took the water and took a sip, her eyes still stayed on the surroundings, this kind of scene of escape was something she had never seen before, and she could never imagine.

After all, after experiencing the chaos, Mrs. Shen sewed her clothes without distraction, and Uncle Beggar didn't know where to fold a banana leaf and fanned it for her.

This summer is an idle one, in the shade of the tree, while enjoying the shade while looking at the poster on the tree - "Second brother, I will cross the river first, and I hope to come later." "Wu'er, my brother is determined to return north, and my brother cherishes himself", some of the posters are still dripping, and the people are gone. There is more than one person in the forest who is looking for a poster, and a tree is next to a tree, such as reading an inscription.

"This Summer ......"

Yang Yue called her lightly.

Turning his head this summer, he looked in the direction he was pointing: a dozen monks in gray cloth robes and holding long sticks walked briskly towards the ferry, and there were a few familiar figures behind the monks......

"It's Sister Shangguan! They must be the warrior monks of Southern Shaolin. "I didn't expect to meet them here this summer, and I was surprised and delighted.

Hearing the word Shangguan, Ah Rui's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes looked through the black veil in disbelief, and he saw Shangguan Xi's figure. Although she knew that she was standing in front of her in front of her, and she couldn't recognize herself, Ah Rui immediately turned her face sideways, avoiding it and not daring to look at it again.

This summer, he has quickly walked towards Shangguan Xi and Xie Xiao.

"Sister Shangguan!"

Shangguan Xi and Xie Xiao also saw her, obviously they didn't expect it, and both of them were stunned. Xie Xiao took a big step, walking in front of Shangguan Xi, and frowned in front of Jinxia and asked, "How did you get here?" Escaped too? ”

"We're going to send a girl to New River City." This summer motioned for him to look at Chun Yumin behind him.

Yang Yue also stepped forward and bowed his hand to them.

Xie Xiao hurriedly arched his hand, his brows furrowed more and more, and he said in an unkind tone: "This place is dangerous, you should leave quickly." ”

"I can't go, brother, wait for the boat." Seeing Shangguan Xi this summer, his eyebrows were also frowned, "You also want to cross the river?" Now there are only two small boats going back and forth, but we have to wait. ”

Shangguan Xi shook his head and said in a low voice: "There are Japanese robbers here. ”

Hearing this, Xia looked at Xie Xiao, who nodded.

"We're chasing all the way down, and now they're probably dressed up and blending in with the crowd. This place is very dangerous, so it is better for you to get out of here quickly. Shangguan Xi said in a deep voice.

"Since they're disguised, can you tell the difference?" Jinxia glanced at Yang Yue and asked in a low voice.

Shangguan Xi shook his head: "We saw the people they killed on the road, and their clothes were all stripped off, so it is speculated that they have blended in with the refugees." However, the Oriental people look the same as ours, and it is very difficult to distinguish them, and the brothers in the temple are also very worried. ”

At this time, the warrior monks could be seen scattered, walking slowly, their eyes sharply sweeping over the fleeing people around them, but they could not be identified from their clothes, and it was too difficult to identify from their faces, and they looked at it several times to no avail.

"Who are you?" Xie Xiao saw Ah Rui covering his face on the side, dragged him and asked, "Why do you want to cover your face?" ”

A Rui wanted to break free, but his internal strength was not fully recovered, and Xie Xiao's hands were like iron tongs, and he couldn't break free at all. Shangguan Xi was nearby, and his heart was nervous, becoming more and more irritable.

This summer hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Brother, don't embarrass him." He was with us, Jinyiwei, and his face was wounded, and he didn't want to see anyone. ”

Xie Xiao let go of his hand and froze: "Jinyiwei? ”

"He was also injured by the Japanese Bandits, and there were many marks on his body, but fortunately he picked up a life." Make up this summer.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xi couldn't help but look at Ah Rui twice, and saw that he was wrapped tightly all over, thinking that he was ashamed of his filth and unwilling to see people, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and sighed softly: "The wolf is very vicious." ”

Through the black veil, Ah Rui glanced at her quickly, just touching her gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"I'll help you find it!" This summer road.

Xie Xiao said: "We can't recognize them even after we have fought with them, so don't follow them." ”

"Brother, I'm a trained catcher, if you don't recognize it, I won't recognize it." This summer turned to Yang Yue, "You take care of Miss Chunyu, and Mrs. Shen has my uncle there." ”

Yang Yue said uneasily: "You be careful, and tell them quietly after recognizing it, don't act rashly." ”

Xie Xiao took a step towards this summer: "Don't worry, I will follow her and never leave." ”

The large number of people gathered at this ferry port was the first to exclude those who helped the old and the young this summer. Although the widows are also in life, and there are old and young in the family, it is really a drag to take the family out to rob. The Oriental sword that most Orientals are accustomed to is quite long, and among the rest of the people, look carefully to see if there is anyone in special clothes......

In this way, she soon noticed that there were a number of woodcutters scattered among the people crossing the river, all of whom were ordinary people carrying large bundles of firewood on their clothes. At first glance, there is nothing different, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that there are many loopholes: first, if it is a refugee, even if it is chopping wood, it is a temporary meal, which is enough, and it will never cut a large bundle of firewood; Second, boats are required to cross the river, and woodcutters on the other side of the river will not cross the river to cut wood. Third, they don't sell these firewood, and they guard them firmly, and passers-by will be met with fierce eyes if they accidentally touch them.

With his head hanging this summer, his gaze sneaked over the shoes worn by the woodcutter's feet, which were the most easily overlooked and leaked out of the horse's feet. As she expected, these woodcutters wore the kind of split-toed boots that only Orientals would wear, and it was almost certain that they must have been dressed as Orientals.

And the Oriental sword is hidden in the firewood!

Xie Xiao was anxious, and this summer was worried that as soon as he told him, he would show his feet, so he pretended not to find a clue, and slowly returned to Shangguan Xi's side with his head.

Before he could speak this summer, Xie Xiao said: "I said a long time ago, this matter is not easy, those widows are very slippery. ”

This summer feigned anger, pushed him, pushed him away, Xie Xiao didn't care, smiled and paced to the side, his eyes continued to stare at the crowd.

Shangguan Xi was about to speak of relief, when he heard Jin Xia say in a very low voice: "Sister Shangguan, no matter what I say below, you must hang your head and sigh, and you must not look around, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Although he heard it well, Shangguan Xi quickly understood and sighed first.

"There is a problem with those woodcutters who carry firewood, their boots are split-toed boots, and only Oriental people wear this kind of boots, and it is very likely that Oriental knives are hidden in the firewood." This summer continued.

Shangguan Xi's body was cold, and his eyes instinctively wanted to go to see those woodcutters, but fortunately, he remembered this summer's words in time, lowered his head, and sighed long.

"I counted it, there were eighteen people in total, two people in groups, and every third formed a horn to help each other." This summer continued to whisper, "There are many ordinary people next to them, if you want to do it, you must take advantage of their unpreparedness and solve the problem quickly, otherwise it is very likely that innocent people will be involved." ”

Shangguan Xi frowned, and let out a long sigh, this time the sigh was no longer a pretense, but the situation in front of him was really difficult: "I'll discuss it with my senior brothers, Miss Yuan, how about you come over too?" ”

"Good ......"

As soon as he agreed this summer, he noticed that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see that it was Ah Rui.

Ah Rui's ears are very good, and he has been paying attention to them, and he has heard all the words this summer, and he does not speak at this time. This summer was relieved, and then he tentatively said, "You...... Passing along too? ”

He nodded.

"He ......" Shangguan Xi saw that his actions were not very convenient.

Ah Rui said in a dumb voice: "I have fought with the Japanese Kou, and it will be useful to you. ”

His voice was low, revealing a slight hint of request, but it was not like the high-minded style of Jinyiwei, Shangguan Xi couldn't help but look at him twice, but he lowered his head.

"Okay, come along." Shangguan Xi said.
