Chapter 44: Embarrassed
The carriage was surrounded by frenzied refugees, unable to run forward at all, they thought that there was a lot of food on the carriage, and one by one they could no longer care about the etiquette because of hunger, and they were reluctant to let go of Xiao Cui's hand.
Liu Yingxue hurriedly dragged back Xiao Cui's hand, and finally pulled her hand back, the carriage was already difficult to move an inch, she looked at the current situation, and could only move forward on foot.
"We can't take care of this carriage, let's take one step at a time." She carried all the important things on her back, and then walked out of the carriage with Xiao Cui.
As soon as they stepped on the grass, a group of refugees rushed towards them, reaching out to grab their bags, Liu Yingxue desperately protected the objects on her body.
She never thought she would face such a predicament, countless hands reached towards her, tightly grasping her shirt and her bag, she was trapped in the crowd, even breathing became difficult, and her whole face became very pale.
She didn't want to die like this, if even she died, the Liu family would be completely gone, and I don't know who was calling her name in the dark: "Xiaoxue, you must hold on!" ”
Vaguely, Liu Yingxue seemed to see Gao Mingxuan's figure, he stretched out his hands to her and hugged her tightly.
"Cousin." She shouted with the last of her strength and squeezed her way out of the crowd.
"Miss Table." Xiao Cui held her crumbling and the two supported each other to move forward.
The master and servant didn't know how long they had been walking, Liu Yingxue finally felt that the air around her was fresher, and after recovering a little, she found that her coat had been torn off, and most of the dry food and silver on her body were lost, and only some scattered silver remained, but the wooden box given to her by Nangong Jin was still firmly on her body, which made her cry and laugh.
The two walked to the remote area, and finally got rid of those chaotic refugees, Xiao Cui's eyes were red, and she knelt in front of her with a plop: "Miss Cousin, it's all the slave's fault, you shouldn't give them food." ”
Liu Yingxue sighed, after experiencing this incident, she couldn't bear to blame Xiaocui, it was out of kindness, who would have thought that these people had been hungry for too long and were too crazy.
"That's it, don't take this matter to heart, the world is like this now, they are just a group of people driven crazy by hunger, let's rest a little and continue to travel later." She patted Xiaocui on the shoulder and said.
Although the road ahead is bumpy, they still have to keep walking, but the master and servant both look very embarrassed, not only is there no carriage now, but even there is not much silver left, Liu Yingxue doesn't know how long they can support it.
She walked to a city in front of her, and inquired a little about the news of Ancheng, there was still a long way to go from them, Liu Yingxue suddenly felt that the road ahead was long, and the scattered silver on her body could not hire another carriage, so they could only walk forward.
These days, Liu Yingxue feels that she has experienced a lifetime of suffering, she used to live a life of fine clothes and food, she never thought that life would be so difficult, now she has eaten the last meal and has not eaten the next meal, and the silver can only make do with the flowers, because her feet are blistered when she walks, and every step is very painful, and the pain is numb later.
As the days passed, they were getting closer and closer to Ancheng, and in the end they didn't even have the silver to eat, Liu Yingxue was helpless, took out the jade pendant in the wooden box, and sighed secretly: "I don't care about being afraid of him, let's go out and get some silver first." ”
