"You can't take care of yourself, how can you have the heart to take care of our sister and brother?"

Zidui's words were straightforward, and her tone was a little sarcastic, and the girl's face turned red all of a sudden. She saw that she was talking to the youngest little guy, and she didn't see her appearance from a distance, but when she got closer, she realized that it was a very iconic female doll, probably in order to avoid causing trouble, so she changed her appearance as a boy. The girl surnamed Lin was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be annoyed and said, "In the midst of trouble, we should support each other. We are all Liangzhou villagers, how can you think so badly of everyone at your young age? ”

Zi Du snorted coldly, too lazy to speak again.

Yang Zixi said: "He is my younger brother, and only I am qualified to educate him." Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you don't have food, we don't have food, there are only a lot of people who consume a lot, I don't think there is a need to make do with it. ”

The girl was annoyed, got up, stomped her feet, and went, and when she returned to her family, she said a lot.

Yang Zixi glanced at her back, and said to Ziwei and Wang Xiaoshi: "Hurry up and rest, get on the road as soon as possible in the afternoon, and we'd better rush to the front of this gang." ”

said that when the group of people saw Yang Zixi's three children taking a nap under the tree with a quilt, it really didn't look like there was still food, otherwise they should at least take turns to rest and watch. But I feel that if there is no food, how can I get here with three little dolls? They have seen a lot of people who have died along the way, who can drag a sick number for half a month without a carriage or horse?

When Yang Zixi woke up, a slightly older woman in the group came over again.

"My daughter was reckless before, and I apologize to you again." The woman had a smile on her face. To put it mildly.

Yang Zixi got up and said, "Mrs. Lin don't be polite, it's my brother who is abrupt." Everyone is a victim of disaster, so there is no need to pay attention to this. ”

The woman followed her and said, "Yes." They are all victims. But I don't know where your brother and sister are going? ”

This remark aroused Yang Zixi's interest, to be honest, she didn't know where to go near Liangzhou at all, and along the way, she also followed the footprints of the people in front of her to go south, where she went.

So she smiled and said in a slow tone: "Our brother and sister don't have a fixed place to go, but we don't know when we will be able to get to the town where we will stay?" ”

The woman said: "Actually, the closest to Liangzhou was Fengzhou, but you also know the way." Fengzhou is the frontier, and if the people of Daxia call, I am afraid that Fengzhou will not be able to stay, so we rushed to the south. The person who runs first in front is really not a thing! They showed the wind along the way, and the villages and towns along the way were empty, and the villagers hid with food, but it caused us to go slow without supplies, and those who starved to death starved to death, and those who ran out of food. Originally, I could still count on Qinzhou City, which was ten miles away, but ......"

Yang Zixi heard that he would walk another ten miles. was able to go to Qinzhou, and she was overjoyed, but the woman's next words were like a basin of cold water, pouring her cold to the bone.

I heard the woman sigh and say, "Yesterday we met a fellow villager who came back from Qinzhou. According to them, Qinzhou was afraid that there would be a traitor among the refugees, so they put up notices. In addition to strict checks on those who enter the city, there are also ancillary requirements. The old, the weak, the sick and the sick are not allowed to enter the city, and those who have contributed less than one hundred taels of silver are not allowed to enter the city, nor are they allowed to enter the city without the guarantee of the people in the city. As a result, the refugees who had come first clashed with the defenders of Qinzhou, and finally the prefect of Qinzhou, Tian Zhihe, ordered the city to be closed. They slaughtered the refugees so much that thousands of them died, and many of them retreated and prepared to take a detour to continue south. ”

“…… That...... Where further south? Yang Zixi asked anxiously.

"Further south to Liuzhou, we still have to walk for more than half a month, how can we who have run out of food be able to hold on to getting there? Can you just stay outside the city of Qinzhou, waiting for the prefect Tian to show mercy and open the door for disaster relief? The woman said with a bitter face.

When Yang Zixi heard this, his heart sank. The city of Liangzhou was not conquered by the Great Xia people, but was brought down by the mob in the city. If the refugees are truthful, no matter which city they go to, the other party may not open the city to accept them, so the people of Liangzhou who escaped from the city naturally have to spread the rumors vigorously, and the more powerful the people of Daxia without a shadow, the better.

But in this way, each city will strengthen its garrison, and it will become more and more strict with people entering the city, and even like Qinzhou, the city will simply be closed and no one will be allowed to enter. Therefore, it is useless to stay outside Qinzhou, and the prefect of Natian dared to order the massacre of refugees, and it was obvious that he was a ruthless man who could watch the refugees starve to death, and it would be a dream for him to show mercy.

For the three of them, of course, they chose to go south to Liuzhou, and they can't waste time here, right? But seeing the flickering eyes of the woman in front of him, Yang Zixi kept a heartfelt eye, pretended to be panicked, and said anxiously: "How can that be good?" Do we all have to stay here and die? ”

"What if not? Only with grain can we continue to rush to Liuzhou. The woman said, her eyes locked tightly on Yang Zixi, trying to see the clues in her expression.

Yang Zixi pretended to be hit by bad news, and quit the woman in a trance, and the woman saw that the topic couldn't go on, so she had to go back to her pile.

Yang Zixi turned his face and said to Ziwei and Wang Xiaoshi: "Our plan has changed, and we can't leave in a hurry in the afternoon." These people have revealed the news to me that they are tempting us, and if we rush south, they will claim to have food with us, and they will surely be worried about us. So it's better to rest well and hit the road again in the middle of the night. ”

When Zi Du heard this, he glanced at the pile of people with disdain, and said, "I'm afraid that if they do something, it's a big deal to be destroyed." ”

Wang Xiaoshi: ......

Zixi: ......

With a guard in his heart, Yang Zixi began to pay attention to the group of people. There were eighteen people in and out of the shed, most of them men, and they looked a little similar, like a family. The oldest was an old man, with gray hair, lying on a cart with a sallow face, covered with several layers of quilts, shrunk into a ball. The second is the five brothers ranging in age from forty to thirty, although the five strong men look very haggard, but their size and physique are quite bluffing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are iron-striking in the past. The boss has eagle eyes and a beard, like the leader of the group. Then there are seven and a half sons, about the sons of these five brothers.

In addition to the Lin mother and daughter, there were three other women, one was similar to the Lin woman, also in his forties, and the other two were younger, about early thirties, and the youngest woman looked a little unsettled, her eyes were straight and motionless, as if she had hysteria.

After a careful observation, Yang Zixi became more and more suspicious.

The so-called half-sized son eats the poor man, and the daily ration consumption of this big family is quite a lot, and I am afraid that even if there is no food shortage, the reserve is not much. But just let the little girl pull the three of them together? It stands to reason that when there is a shortage of food, shouldn't it be better to have fewer people?

What are they thinking?

Throughout the afternoon, Yang Zixi did not rest steadily, she leaned on the trunk of the tree, and was half-asleep and half-awake. The group of people didn't make any moves, they didn't move on the road, but stayed not far from Yang Zixi and the others, as if they were also resting, but there was always the smell of wild beasts before hunting. Yang Zixi had a vague intuition: the three of them are afraid that they have been regarded as things in the bag!

Zi Du slept in the dark, and did not wake up after lying down at noon, and slept until evening. Wang Xiaoshi was also a little worried, but he couldn't bear the weakness, and he still lost his spirit after all.

In the evening, Yang Zixi pushed Wang Xiaoshi behind a big tree, and gave him a bag of nutrient solution under cover, and then gave Ziwei the same way. When the group saw that they were moving, they first looked at them, but then found that they were just hiding behind the trees in turn, thinking that they were solving physical problems, so they did not take it to heart. When the sun was setting, Mrs. Lin even came over with a bowl of rare wild vegetable soup.

"Miss Yang, let me bring you some hot soup in charge of our family, it's not easy for the children to support each other here." Mrs. Lin said kindly.

Yang Zixi hurriedly stood up and took the soup bowl to thank him: "You have also run out of food, and you still think about us, such a great kindness, how can we repay it!" "If you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it, although I don't know what the other party's idea is, but there are many people in that gang, and it is easy to take down the three of them underage, so Yang Zixi is not worried about the drug in the soup...... Because there's no need for that.

She handed the vegetable soup to Wang Xiaoshi and drank half a bowl, and picked out the wild vegetables for Zidui to eat, but she was reluctant to dip a little. Although they have maintained it until now with nutrients, they have not eaten in their stomachs for a long time, and they are always sad, in fact, Yang Zixi has already smelled the fragrance wafting from the opposite side, and he has not eaten for several days, although there is a nutrient solution hanging, but the mouth still instinctively secretes saliva.

Mrs. Lin bridged her actions in her eyes and said secretly, it seems that there is a chance that the food will be cut off.

Taking advantage of the situation to sit down, Mrs. Lin smiled lovingly: "At noon, I mentioned to you about the closure of Qinzhou, and I don't know what Miss Yang thought about this afternoon?" Where are you going to go next? ”

Or is it the original topic, what exactly is she trying to say?

Yang Zixi's heart moved, so he made a helpless appearance and said: "I'm so young that I haven't done anything." It's really messed up, but I don't know what to do. ”

Mrs. Lin said again: "Do you have relatives in Qinzhou or Liuzhou?" ”

"No, we are natives of Liangzhou." Yang Zixi began to talk nonsense.

"That's going to be tough." Mrs. Lin showed a look of pity, "If someone is a guarantor, I don't know if I can still sneak into Liangzhou City." After that, he looked at Yang Zixi with his eyes.

Yang Zixi said seriously: "There is really no way." "That's the truth. (To be continued......)
