Chapter 54: Falling Horse
Chunting stretched out his hand, barely holding Qiu Zhi's hand, and it took a lot of strength to pull the person to the car. Fortunately, the coachman didn't drive the car too fast when he saw that Qiu Zhi didn't come up, and Qiu Zhi came up quite easily.
Qiu Zhi sat down breathlessly, and Chun Ting hammered her a few times, "Are you crazy?" Jump down without saying a word, what if you really can't come back? ”
"I've calculated the time, and I won't be able to come back." Qiu Zhi waved his hand indifferently, "Why don't you ask me what I saw in front of me?" ”
Chunting was helpless, "Then what did you see?" ”
Qiu Zhi took a breath and gradually became serious, "There are a few dilapidated carriages in front, and they should have been left behind by hijacking." I'm afraid this area is not very peaceful, and I have to speed up my journey these days. ”
In today's world, it is not uncommon to fall into the grass, if people want to live, what can't they do?
The current situation is not the worst time, if it continues in such a stalemate, I am afraid that even the things in the history books that are easy to eat will be done.
Fortunately, although the guards of the Su family are not many, it is enough to protect the Su family, and it is also a way to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, as long as the person is still alive, money is just something outside the body, and if it is gone, it will be gone.
Chun Ting was a little worried, and carefully looked at the places on Qiu Zhi's body where there were bruises, and saw that the person came back intact before he was slightly relieved, "Don't be so impulsive in the future, if something really happens to you, what should you do if you call Mother Liu?" ”
"How can I be, I naturally have it in my heart." Qiu Zhi sighed, "I don't know how my mother is now, and I can't send a letter now, and I don't know what the situation is when I get to Huaiyang." ”
The carriage left in front of it was not visible from the outside, and although it was looted inside, it was not a big family looking at the material workmanship of the curtain, but probably an ordinary merchant. According to the current strength of these rogues, they can't reach out to the family.
What can be worrying is probably the blood stains on the car, but there are no corpses around, which makes it impossible to tell whether these gangsters are going to be wiped out.
Since there is no need to face each other head-on, then speed up the journey and go through this section, if it is really hard to fight, the Su family may not lose, but the Su family drags the family with the mouth, and the elderly and pregnant women account for all, so it is natural to be safe.
I thought it would be better the further south you went, but what I saw along the way was not the case. Rao is richer in the south than in the north, but the inside has long been corrupt. Besides, several vassal kings are planning "big things", so how can they care about how the common people are doing.
Gentleman, boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. A king who doesn't even care about the people's livelihood can end up in a good end. The Southern Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, and although the emperors before Emperor Hui were not considered to be ancient emperors, they were also decent and qualified kings, at least before that, the Southern Tang Dynasty could be regarded as a country and a people's peace.
Chunting doesn't understand this, she pities those displaced people who are suffering, but she is not a bodhisattva who purifies all sentient beings, she really doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, that doesn't mean that she has the ability to help others.
She can only keep her own one-third of an acre of land, and stay with her wife to do her duty.
After this, Qiu Zhi became a lot more honest and returned to his former lethargic state. But Huan Qingqing followed Bai Huanru day and day, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell.
Huanqing was not a serious illness, but he was overworked, and he did not rest well on the road, so he fell ill for a while.
Huanqing's child was originally selected from the accompanying mother-in-law to help her carry it, where did she have time to take care of the child, and now she is even more unable to do so. Bai Huanru simply ordered a few small ones to take turns to help the mother-in-law take care of the children, and the vacated place was called spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the carriage where they originally lived was vacant and called Huanqing to write and rest, and one of them was left in the car to take care of Huanqing.
It's not easy to find a doctor on the road, and it's a hurry, and it's slower to get better, and it's groggy every day. Chun Ting took turns boiling medicine in the car and poured it for her, the car was filled with the smell of herbs, and Huanqing's body finally improved.
Huanqing was afraid that Chunting would also burn down, so she forced herself to get better. But Bai Huanru was still worried about her, so it didn't hurt to tell her to rest for a few more days.
If Chunting and Qiuzhi are not worth it, most of them stay on Huanqing's side, and Chunting goes to squeeze together with a few small ones. When Chunting was at home in the past, there were times when the family was crowded on a kang, not to mention that the situation is much better now. Chun Ting thought that although Qiu Zhi was born in the family, it was also raised in the palm of Liu's mother's house, and she was afraid that she couldn't stand it, and Huanqing was more spacious anyway.
After marching like this for a few days, the Spring Court Orthodox Qin Di played a few times, but heard the sound of soldiers meeting each other outside.
Chunting felt something hit the carriage, and then faintly heard the man's muffled snort. The carriage was still moving, and the coachman outside shouted, "The girls are seated!" ”
The carriage accelerated suddenly, and Chunting and several people fell backwards irrepressibly, and Chunting grabbed the wall of the car so that he didn't let himself fall.
Chunting didn't know what was going on outside, after all, it wasn't something that would make people feel happy. Eighty percent of this scene is a thief, and it's not an ordinary rogue.
Chun Ting wasn't sure if the muffled snort he heard just now was the Su family's guards or the thieves who came to rob the road, his thoughts were chaotic, and he couldn't figure out an end.
Several little girls behind him trembled, and Chun Ting forced himself to calm down, and also restrained the urge to open the curtain and look out. The carriage stopped suddenly, and the fighting outside gradually subsided.
Chun Ting saw the doubts in the eyes of several little girls behind her, she was the oldest among them, even if she was just a little girl who had not yet reached her time. Chunting comforted them a few words, plucked up the courage to open the curtain and take a look out.
However, as soon as Chunting looked up, he met the coachman's dead eyes, a pair of eyes were facing Chunting, Chunting suddenly lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage panting.
Qiyu leaned over to support Chunting and asked with concern, "Sister Chunting, but what happened outside?" ”
Chun Ting steadied his still trembling hand and wanted to pull out a smile, but when he thought of the coachman's appearance, the smile on his face stiffened halfway and turned into a strange arc hanging on his face.
"It's okay, you guys are in the carriage, don't look out, I'll go to Madame's and have a look." Chun Ting wiped his face, quickly lifted the curtain and dodged out, not wanting the girl in the car to see the scene outside.
Carefully bypassing the driver's body, it was only then that he could see what was happening outside.
The convoy had stopped, there were corpses stacked on top of each other on the ground, Chun Ting endured the churning in his stomach, and walked along the inside of the convoy to the car where Bai Huanru was.
Chun Ting's legs were a little weak, and there was no clean place on the ground, so he could only move forward a little bit. But just after walking past a carriage, the convoy moved forward without warning, Chun Ting hurriedly looked back at the carriage he was staying in, struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and turned around and ran towards the carriage.
The driver is gone, and if you want to catch up with the convoy in front, you can't rely on the little girls in the car. Chunting didn't care about how filthy the ground was, and ran all the way over, but before he touched the carriage, the horse didn't know what to stimulate, and ran forward by himself with a neigh.
Chunting froze in place, but in a moment the carriage whizzed past her, and the dust and smoke raised swept her face.
The convoy walked a long way in a blink of an eye, and Chunting was about to chase after him, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
The convoy can't be seen anymore, and this voice is naturally not from the convoy, who could it be?
Chunting turned his head, he didn't have time to think about it, the roadside was a wood, as long as he ran in, the chance of being found was greatly reduced, whether it was friend or foe, it was best to hide it at this time.
As soon as his feet were empty, Chun Ting felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and his body was unstable, so he fell to the ground. Chunting gritted his teeth and rolled into the low bushes beside him, and fell to the ground to hide his figure.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually increased, and Chun Ting didn't even dare to raise his head, and heard the team of people and horses stop not far from him.
"Damn, I can't even solve the problem of a little white face of the scholars, why did Lao Tzu raise you bunch of waste!"
If it's not a member of the Su family, eighty percent of them are bandits......
Chun Ting held her breath and didn't dare to move, hearing them walking around, the footsteps and horses' hooves mixed together, Chun Ting didn't know if these people would find themselves, let alone what would happen to her if she was discovered.
A delicate and weak little girl, dressed in brocade and satin, fell into the hands of a bandit......
Chunting shuddered and waited quietly for the group to leave. Now it's evening, there is a cool breeze blowing, if it is placed on weekdays, it should make people feel comfortable, but Chunting doesn't feel it at all, and is even afraid that the wind will spread the smell of incense powder on his body.
I don't know how long it took, but the noise outside finally calmed down, and I thought that the group of mountain bandits had left. Chunting still didn't dare to move, for fear that those people wouldn't go far enough, and if she went out at this time, she would be discovered.
I don't know how Madame and the others are doing now, oh yes, and the little girls in the picture screen, the horse is crazy, and it will not be safe to stay in the carriage if he wants to come, and it will be even worse if he hits the carriage in front of him.
Chun Ting touched his waist, the purse containing the silver bracelet was still there, and Chun Ting breathed a sigh of relief. She also had some broken silver on her, and now it was unrealistic to chase the convoy, so she could only walk to Huaiyang on her own.
A little girl, walking alone in this troubled world, is too difficult.
Chunting was about to get up from the ground, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, his heart tightened, and his hand lost strength and fell back to the ground.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, stopping at Chunting's side, and then Chunting was dragged up from the ground by the collar.
Before Chunting looked back to see who the person was, he heard the voice of the young Qingyue: "I thought I was a hare from somewhere, it turned out to be you little girl." ”
