In order to make it easier to be called, Yang Zixi named the five strong men Yang Yi to Yang Wu, and the three servant women named them after their respective surnames, called Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Chen, and Sister-in-law Huang. The remaining mother and son are three, the mother Yu became Yu's sister-in-law, the brother and sister were named Yang Rui and Yang Huan, the elder brother was responsible for following Zidu, and the younger sister followed Yang Zixi.

So Yang Zixi and Zidui had a pair of older maids and maids.

After a full meal, and taking advantage of the dawn, everyone took turns to rest and sleep around the fire. In order to prevent accidents, Yang Zixi decided to rest during the day and hurry at night, and the thieves in the province who were worried about their grain trucks thought that there was a chance to attack at night.

The winter days are short, and by the end of the day, it is completely dark. The crowd set off and began to hurry, catching those who followed them by surprise.

You must know that the winter nights are always colder than the day, and they are well fed and drunk, while those people are empty and hungry all day long, and they are also frozen all day.

Yang Zixi sped up his pace, and soon left the group of people behind. The crowd was less nervous. Yang Yi in the team used to be a horse and goods dealer, and he traveled a lot of places from south to north, and he was very familiar with the road to the south, which was also Yang Zixi's willingness to recruit him.

At this moment, he walked in front of the carriage, pulling the horse's chew to lead the way, making sure that the dark sky did not take the wrong way.

Yang Zixi followed the car for a while, and soon got tired, so he jumped into the carriage. After all, this body is only nine years old, not yet an adult, short hands and short legs, and the size has only reached Yang Huan's shoulders, Yang Huan is fourteen years old this year, she is thin and thin, and half of her is hungry. Half of it is because of the age that is being drawn.

"You should be a promise at your age, right?" Yang Zixi sat on the car board and swayed on his two legs.

Yang Huan helped the car to hurry. Hearing this, she glanced at her brother who was holding a torch in front of her. Said shyly: "There is, but it's just ......"

"It's just that kid isn't a thing! Ran away on your own! His brother Yang Rui said angrily.

Sister-in-law Yu, who was walking in front, turned around and reprimanded: "The master asks!" You just replied honestly, what's the matter with such an impulsive tone? ”

The old lady spoke, and Yang Rui was silent.

Yang Zixi said: "It's okay, I don't need the people around me to be more respectful and humble, as long as I am loyal inside." ”

Yang Ruile was happy, he was originally a little resistant to being a slave. Although he is not a young master, he has also been a favored child in the family since he was a child. Now that the death deed has been sold, the gap in identity is too big, and I haven't adapted to it for a while. Of course, he also understands that Yang Zixi is good, and if he is willing to sell the deed of identity at this moment, he is saving people's lives, and he is not unkind.

Hearing Yang Zixi's words, he became more and more fond of her. With such a master, there is hope for the future, isn't it?

"My sister was promised to the Zhang family next door when she was young. Our two families are neighbors, and my father also saved the life of the old man of the Zhang family. The Zhang family runs a cloth workshop, and the conditions are better than ours, so the young master of his family looks down on our family. If it weren't for my sister-in-law's handsome appearance, I'm afraid I would have regretted my marriage earlier. Later, the business of the cloth workshop got better and better, and the young master of their family came to the door to ask for resignation. I was only willing to let my sister-in-law be a concubine, and I was ready to marry another woman with a rich dowry.

Naturally, my dad refused. Although my family is small, it is also a clean white family. If you don't do it as a good couple, who will be a concubine? Even if it's a dowry, it won't work. So the two of us broke off contact.

Unexpectedly, when there was civil strife in Liangzhou City, the Zhang family secretly took away several donkeys in our stable in order to escape for their lives. Our family has no livestock to travel, so we can't bring enough food. On the way, in order to save food for our mother and son, my father secretly drank white water, and lied to us to eat it. ”

Saying this, Yang Rui's eyes turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and Yang Huan couldn't help sobbing.

Yang Zixi was silent, but when he asked later, he summoned all the hidden pain.

"You have a good father," she said, glancing at her sister-in-law who was hurrying in front of her, "and a good mother." ”

When the sister and brother heard this, they felt a little more relieved. Their father, in order to keep them alive, would rather starve to death himself; Their mother would rather send them away in order to keep them alive...... So they both died with their parents.

The rest of the crowd listened to this short and ordinary story, and they were overwhelmed with emotion, everyone had a similar situation, and if it weren't for the death of all their families, they wouldn't be alone.

Wang Xiaoshi, who was in the carriage, sighed and said, "Let's talk about something happy!" We heard that Huaizhou is a good place, said to be the land of fish and rice like spring all year round, and I don't know if the road is true, have any of you been there? ”

Yang Yang, who was the leader, smiled without looking back: "I've been there once, and that was five years ago." I followed my brother to transport military rations for the government, and I set off from Huaizhou. What a place to be! The grain is more than half cheaper than our Liangzhou, everyone has food, and everyone is fat and fat. ”

Yang Zixi sneered, is this pig breeding? Still chubby for nothing?

"Is it really that good? Then why don't you stay in Huaizhou? She asked with a smile.

Yang Yi raised his hand, scratched his back with a horsewhip, and said, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I can't stay!" I was caught by the yamen to drive the car, where I came from, I will go back, if I escape on the road, but I will be beheaded! ”

Yang Zixi frowned when he heard this, and blurted out: "So exaggerated? You're not a soldier, so you're not a deserter! Isn't the government doing things for the common people? How can you not speak of the law? ”

Yang Yi was stunned, turned around and grinned at Yang Zixi: "The little master doesn't know how powerful Lu Dao is, where does the government talk about any law?" Those things are just for the literati to see! A city, a state, the prefect is the emperor of the soil, what he says is what, who of us ordinary people dares to disobey the will of the government? Disobedience is a big crime, and officials can find a mistake that can also make people ask for it! ”

Yang Zixi's heart tightened, because of the competition for production in the hospital, he got a cheap advantage from the Song Governor of Liangzhou, so he didn't really take the official officials to heart, it seems that he really can't underestimate this ancient bureaucratic system.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Sister-in-law Huang on the side said, "Yamen, that's a powerful place, little master, you think, just outside the gate of Liuzhou, thousands of refugees are staring at our grain trucks, but just a few officials stop on the side, they don't dare to act rashly, that's why it's here." On the border of our northland, the government is the sky above our heads! They say the same, they want whoever they want! ”

Everyone interjected and I added a sentence, for fear that the little master would be young and careless, and he would not take the official government to heart, and he would collide with the official and get into trouble in the future. You must know that in this era, the master is good, everyone is good, the master is unlucky, and the family is unlucky.

Yang Zixi took their words to heart, and after arriving in Huaizhou, if he wanted to settle down and open a medical center, he would have to be involved with the local government, so he couldn't take it lightly.

On the carriage, Zi Du looked at the dark sky and rolled his eyes, the official lord is the sky above his head? Mortals are so short-sighted and ignorant! For example, the prefect of Song and the like are just soft-footed shrimps that can't be held on the table, and he can strangle the ants with his little finger, what are you afraid of him doing? However, he didn't bother to open his mouth to argue, ordinary mortals were not qualified to talk to him.

After talking and laughing, after rushing for an hour and a half, Yang Zixi ordered to rest. The road is still very long, not in a hurry, but to combine work and rest.

Everyone stopped the carriage, chose a leeward place to light a bonfire, and hurried in the middle of the night, although the stomach was full, but the body was still cold and panicked, and it was no better to rest and rest by roasting the fire.

For they had slept in turn during the day, and they were not sleepy, but talked around the fire. Yang Zixi asked people to grab some clean snow and boil water, and took out a few large pieces of sweet potatoes and roasted them, and the fragrance wafted far away for a while.

Everyone drank hot water, ate sweet potatoes, and chatted, so unhappy. But not long after, Zidu, who was sitting by the fire and gnawing sweet potatoes without saying a word, suddenly raised her head and said with a serious expression: "They have caught up!" (To be continued......)

PS: One more arrives.
