She was also a little scared in her heart, afraid that she had encountered some fierce beast, so she didn't dare to make a sound for a while, so she stood there quietly and listened carefully, but she didn't hear any sound for a long time, and it didn't look like a beast.

So she was a little bolder, this place was not too far from the camp, she should be able to hear the movement over there, and Huo Jinyan would not die without help.

So she searched around for the smell of blood, and when she opened a bush, she almost screamed, and saw a bloodstained man lying in the grass, with his eyes closed and motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

My heart was beating wildly, how could there be people in such a place? She swallowed her saliva and took a step forward against her guts, but the man still didn't move, so she crouched down and reached out to probe his snort, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, still alive.

Although this person looks a little strange, it is not easy to see death and not save him, not to mention that this place is now full of blood, and I am afraid that it will attract fierce beasts in a while, and his camp is not far from here, maybe they will also suffer together.

So although Tang Xi hesitated slightly, she still used her hand to flick the tattered clothes on his body, and there were two serious wounds on his shoulders and back, which looked like knife wounds, so she tore the hole on the man's clothes a little wider, and then took out the kettle she carried with her from her waist and wet her own handkerchief to clean the wound for him.

She wanted to use his clothes, but they were too dirty, and if they were used to clean the wound, it might cause the wound to become infected, so she had to use her own handkerchief.

When the handkerchief touched the wound, the man subconsciously shrank a little, but he still didn't wake up.

After cleaning the wound, she took out the wound medicine she was carrying and applied it to him, and when she was finally done, she wiped the sweat on her face with her hand, and said to herself, "Tsk, but what next?" Take him back to camp? She frowned slightly, "But this person is unknown......

As she spoke, she looked down at his face, but when she looked down, she couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that he didn't know when he had woken up, and a pair of dark eyes were staring at him.

"When did you wake up? Why is there no sound at all? Tang Xi swallowed his saliva and quietly stepped back a little.

The man sat up on his own, his voice a little hoarse, "Thank you girl for saving me, girl doesn't have to bother where I go, I'll recover a little strength and leave." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said with some hesitation, "But...... You're so badly injured, can you walk on your own? ”

"No problem." The man said, "I just heard what you meant, it seems that the camp is not far from here, so go back, it is getting late, and it will be difficult to walk if you delay any longer." ”

Tang Xi stood up, "Okay then, then you take care of yourself, I'll go." ”

After thinking about it, he put a small piece of dry food and a water bag on the ground that he had not eaten at night, "Keep it to replenish your strength." ”

After saying that, he went back the same way without looking back.

Tang Xi didn't pay attention to this little episode at all, and he didn't even see the person's appearance clearly, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye, but he didn't want to meet this person again soon.

I didn't want to make any extraneous branches, Tang Xi never told anyone about this matter, and the group went on the road again at dawn.

"My lord, we will be on the Wutuo River soon, shall we take the waterway or take a detour to cross the bridge?"

Huo Jinyan thought for a while, "Let's take the waterway, you can also go faster." ”

So the group went to the wharf, sold the wagon and the horses, and got on the boat.

The ships coming and going here are all large passenger ships, and small boats will not be willing to go that far, so the group can only take passenger boats.

The ship was very large, in addition to their group of more than 30 people, there were more than 40 people on board, and some poor people were all crammed into the plywood, and Huo Jinyan and the others naturally had cabins to live in.

This trip will take more than ten days, everyone is very vigilant, after all, everyone knows in their hearts that this road will never be assassinated once, and now in the water is not as good as on the shore, if you fall into anyone's calculation, it will be difficult to survive if you fall into this river.

Tang Xi took this kind of passenger ship for the first time, but he also felt novel, so he didn't stay in the room honestly, but stood on the deck with Lu Zheng to blow the wind.

It's autumn, but the temperature hasn't gotten too low, so it's nice to lean on the deck and blow the wind.

The poor families crowded on the deck all gathered together, Tang Xi and Lu Zheng chose a position a little farther away from them, and those people knew that they were rich people by looking at the clothes they were wearing, so no one would come close.

"Little Hou Ye, you are also twenty this year, right?" Tang Xi asked idly.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Yes, it's twenty, what about you?" "It's also true that they've known each other for so long that they've never asked each other's ages.

"I'm much younger than you, sixteen." Tang Xi said with a sigh, speaking of which, she was twenty-four when she was still a phoenix, and now that she is reborn, she is much younger, which feels pretty good.

Lu Zheng pouted, "Don't you say I thought you were twelve or thirteen years old," he looked at Tang Xi with disdain, "I don't know how you developed." ”

"......" Tang Xi glanced down sadly, okay, it is indeed a little flat, this body is not comparable to Feng Xi in terms of face and figure, but there are always advantages and disadvantages in everything, compared with freedom, such a little disadvantage can be ignored.

"You're twenty, why don't you see you marry?" Tang Xi was pierced in the heart, so naturally he had to find a chance to come back.

"The third brother is twenty-eight years old, haven't you seen him marry?" Lu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"......" is really despicable, she even used Huo Jinyan to block her, but it is true that Huo Jinyan has never had a woman by her side in her twenty-eight years, Tang Xi didn't understand it before, but now when she mentions it again, she is not so comfortable in her heart.

Feng Xi is dead, even if Tang Xi's body lives with Feng Xi's soul, but in the end it is not the same person, the body looks different, and the identity is different, Huo Jinyan likes Feng Xi, but will he definitely like her? Even if she told Huo Jinyan her identity, and didn't say whether he believed it or not, even if she did, in the face of a person who looked completely strange on the outside, could he really be carefree? She wasn't sure.

What's more, ask yourself, Tang Xi herself can't say how she feels about Huo Jinyan, he is different to her, but she never thought that there would be any feelings with him other than the monarch and ministers, and now that she knows what Huo Jinyan thinks, she is indeed moved in her heart, there is a person who has loved her so deeply for ten years, and it is false to say that she is not moved in the slightest.

But touching is not love, she doesn't want to like Huo Jinyan when she feels guilty, which is not fair to him.

So instead of making things more complicated, it's better not to change anything, just when Feng Xi is really dead, when Feng Xi is alive, Huo Jinyan has a heart, so he won't like others, but now that Feng Xi is dead, time will dilute everything, and then Huo Jinyan will definitely meet someone he likes to spend the rest of his life with.

Thinking about it this way, it is really not a good thing for me to stay by Huo Jinyan's side as Feng Xi's sister now, Huo Jinyan will inevitably think of Feng Xi when he sees her, not to mention that he admitted to her that he likes Feng Xi, so if he likes others in front of her, maybe he will have a psychological burden, so she still has to leave.

Lu Zheng saw that Tang Xi's expression was a little low, thinking that she was unhappy because she didn't answer her, so she coughed lightly and asked a little awkwardly, "You...... Do you really want to know that much? ”

"Huh?" Tang Xi looked up at him in confusion, and suddenly found that the roots of his ears were a little red, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are your ears red?" Didn't you blow the wind and get sick? ”

"......" Lu Zheng rolled his eyes widely, the charming thought in his heart was instantly dispelled, and he said angrily, "What do you want to be so engrossed?" ”

"Oh...... I'm wondering why adults don't get married. Tang Xi prevaricated.

Lu Zhengxin said, didn't you still think about why you didn't get married just now? This little conscienceless person, as soon as Huo Jinyan was mentioned, he immediately forgot about her, and he didn't mention the third brother if he knew it.

He was a little sour in his heart, and pouted, "The third brother probably doesn't like women, Mu Yao, the first beauty in the capital, has never seen him move in the slightest if he is so stubborn, tsk, people have been waiting for him for three years, and he is already eighteen years old and has not yet married, and he will become an old girl again, such a delicate beauty, I don't know what he thinks." ”

Tang Xi somehow heard a trace of sourness from Lu Zheng's tone, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, "Oh, I know, do you like Mu Yao?" ”

"......" Lu Zheng is really curious about how Tang Xi's brain grows, why is the span of questions so large? When he said herself, she thought about Huo Jinyan, and when he said Huo Jinyan, she thought of herself again......

Tang Xi felt that he knew a big secret, and immediately made up a sadistic love triangle in his mind, he liked her, but she didn't like him and liked his brother, but her brother didn't like her, this one waited for one, and waited for three older leftover men and women to come out.

She patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and said earnestly, "Come on, brother, in fact, you are not much worse than adults, isn't it just that you are not as good-looking as him, not as rich as him, not as high as his official position, not as talented as him, you also have your own advantages, maybe one day Mu Yao will wake up in time." ”

"......" pierced my heart! Lu Zheng covered his chest with an injured face, and even forgot to correct that he didn't like Mu Yao, and repeated Tang Xi's words over and over again in his mind: "Not as good-looking as him, not as rich as him, not as high as his official position, not as talented as him." ”

"And what's my strength?" He asked without giving up.

"......" Tang Xi frowned and held back for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder, "You are thicker than him!" ”

After Tang Xi finished speaking, he hurriedly slipped away, leaving Lu Zheng alone to stand on the deck blowing the cold wind.

After bullying Lu Zheng, Tang Xi felt in a good mood, afraid that Lu Zheng would come over again, so he didn't go back to the room, but went around to the deck at the other end of the ship.

As soon as I passed, I saw an eight or nine-year-old girl being pushed and shoved by two men, her face was pale, and she could see that she was very scared, but the expression on her face was very stubborn, and she stared at those people with her hands behind her back.

Tang Xi frowned and stepped forward, "What happened?" ”

The two saw that Tang Xi was dressed decently, and knew that he was from a rich family, so his attitude was respectful, and explained, "We are the chef on the ship, she just went to the kitchen to steal food while we were not paying attention, and she refused to let her return it." ”

Tang Xi turned his head to look at the little girl, "What they said is true?" ”

The little girl pursed her lips tightly and remained silent, her eyes were a little afraid to look at her, for fear of seeing a look of disgust and contempt in her eyes, and she didn't want to be a thief, but she couldn't help it.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang Xi knew that it was probably true, so she squatted down and asked softly, "Why are you stealing?" ”

The little girl pursed the corners of her mouth, her voice was a little low, and she replied in a low voice, "...... My mother is sick, and I want her to eat something good, and she will get better soon. ”

Seeing the girl wearing tattered and patched clothes, Tang Xi's heart suddenly softened, she could still vaguely remember her life as a displaced person when she was four years old, when she was alone, she always barely survived on the food given by well-wishers, until she met her father, he said that he was his father, and he said that he came to take her home.

At that time, to her, her father was like a god who rescued her from fire and water, so whether he asked her to take that responsibility later, or he wanted her life, she didn't complain, because in the first place, he was the one who saved her.

So she curled the corners of her mouth, turned to the two men, and said, "I gave her the money." ”

After saying that, she took out a little bit of silver on her body to pay for the girl's food, and then took the girl away.

"Little girl, although my sister paid for you, it was also for the sake of your filial piety, but your stealing behavior is not right, you must not do it next time, you know?" She educated her seriously.

The little girl nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude, "I see, thank you." ”

Tang Xi smiled, "No thanks, go back and see your mother." ”

After thinking about it, she felt that this girl was too young, and it was better to escort her back to her mother, so she added, "I'll accompany you." ”

When Tang Xi followed the girl back to her mother, her heart was touched again.

They were huddled with a group of people in a basement at the bottom of the ship, it was pitch black, only when the door was open there was a glimmer of light, everyone here had a tiredness on their faces, and their clothes were also tattered, maybe they hadn't been in the sun for a few days, they looked lifeless, and when they saw someone open the door, some people looked at this side with some curiosity, but more people still closed their eyes numbly.

The little girl was a little cramped, probably because she felt that the environment here was too poor and she was afraid that Tang Xi would be uncomfortable, so she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, why don't you go back?" ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Let's go see your mother first." "She had some medicine with her, maybe it would work.

Seeing Tang Xi's insistence, the girl didn't say anything, and by the faint light after the door was opened, the girl took Tang Xi to carefully bypass the people lying on the ground and walked to her mother's side.

The woman looked like she was in her thirties, with a sickly look on her face, and her eyes were closed and she was huddled in a corner.

The girl gently shook her mother's shoulder, "Mother, get up and eat." ”

The woman frowned, opened her eyes with difficulty, and closed her dry lips one by one, "Yan'er, are you back?" ”

It turned out that the girl's name was Yan'er, but it was not like the name that a mountain village aunt would give to the child, and it seems that this woman is probably literate.

Yan'er nodded, took out the three buns she had stolen from her arms and handed them over, "Come, mother, eat it while it's hot." ”

The fragrance of buns suddenly filled this small room, and some people looked at this side a little restlessly, but when they saw Tang Xi standing there in good clothes, they were a little hesitant, just looked at this side tightly, and did not make any moves.

Tang Xi noticed the ill-intentioned eyes next to her, it seemed that it was not just Yan'er's mother and daughter, but everyone here was also short of food, she glanced at it and found that there were still many thin children, all of them staring at the buns here, looking hungry.

Seeing this situation, her chest was a little stuffy, and she pursed her lips, "Yan'er, help your mother come out with me." ”

Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and then said a little crampedly, "But...... However, the shipkeeper did not allow us to walk around as we pleased, for fear that we would disturb the other guests on board. ”

Tang Xi smiled soothingly, "It's okay, come with me." ”

There are a lot of people who need help here, but Tang Xi is just a maid now, her strength is limited, and all she can do now is to take Yan'er, who is destined for her, to live in her room.

Yan'er's eyes lit up when she heard Tang Xi's words, so she helped her mother up, "Mother, let's go." ”

The woman looked at Tang Xi's gaze with some doubts, "Yan'er, who is this?" ”

"This sister helped me just now, mother, it's okay, my sister is a good person."

The woman saw that Tang Xi's face was delicate, not like she had any bad intentions, and then listened to what Yan'er said, and suddenly realized that people thought that the environment here was too bad and wanted to help them.

But adults are not as innocent as children, so she hesitated, "Won't it be too troublesome for girls?" ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "It's okay, let's go." ”

Hearing this, the woman was no longer hypocritical, she also saw the burning gaze of the person next to her, and knew that if they stayed here, she might not have any good fruit to eat when Tang Xi left, so she followed Tang Xi out of the depressing basement with Yan'er's support.

Seeing them gone, someone pouted and muttered in a low voice, "It's a good life." Then they were unwilling and could only close their eyes again, without a lot of food, they could only close their eyes to maintain their strength.

Out of the basement, the light outside made the woman who had been in the dark for a few days feel uncomfortable for a moment, and she asked with some anxiety, "Girl, where are we going?" ”

Tang Xi smiled kindly, "Go to my room, it's upstairs." ”

A few people went all the way to Tang Xi's room, and after a few people sat down, Yan'er and the woman first finished eating the bun with tea, and then Tang Xi asked, "I don't know what kind of illness this sister-in-law is?" ”

The woman smiled palely, and said weakly, "It's not a serious illness, it's just that the wind and cold on the road, and staying in the dark room under there with so many people, the condition is getting more and more serious." ”

Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a serious illness, so she took out a little medicinal powder, washed it with the hot water on the table and handed it to her, "This is a medicinal powder for treating wind and cold, sister-in-law will feel more comfortable after drinking it." ”

The woman thanked her gratefully and drank the medicine.

"Sister-in-law, go to my bed and sleep, sweating will be much better."

"This ......," the woman was a little uneasy, "my body is too dirty, and besides, there is only one bed in this room, and it is still a girl, you are in the bed, and I will make do with it on the floor." ”

"You're welcome, I have a relationship with Yan'er, and I like it very much, so you can rest assured that you can sleep, and I'll talk to Yan'er for a few words."

At Tang Xi's repeated insistence, the woman could only go to bed and sleep.

When she fell asleep, Tang Xi took Yan'er to the deck to breathe.

"What about your father? Why is it just you and your mother? I wanted to ask just now, but it wasn't very comfortable to look at the woman, so she waited until the woman was asleep before asking Yan'er.

Yan'er's expression was a little depressed when she heard this, and she said sullenly, "Dead, there was a flood in the house a few days ago, and many people died, either drowning or starving, and my father was washed away by the water in order to save a child." ”

Tang Xi suddenly didn't know what to say, but if this was the case, it seemed that those people were refugees who had fled.

"Didn't anyone come to the court to help the disaster?" After thinking about it, Tang Xi still asked without giving up.

Unexpectedly, when Yan'er heard the word "imperial court", the expression on her face instantly became resentful, and she sneered at the corner of her mouth, "Huh? Court? Where will they care if the people live or die? ”

Tang Xi frowned, "How can this be?" ”

Yan'er pursed her lips in disgust, "How could it not?" Those officers and soldiers are very capable of looting the people's fat and ointment on weekdays, but when it is time to provide disaster relief, they cower one by one, and the so-called disaster relief food is not enough for us to stuff our teeth, otherwise where would we leave our hometown and go elsewhere? ”

"Where are you from?"

"Kun County, Qianzhou."

Tang Xi secretly made a note of this place, and then told her something else, "Then where are you going now?" ”

Yan'er pursed her lips, "Mother said that my father had a friend who lived in Zhoushan County, Border Pass, and we went to join them on this trip." ”

When Tang Xi heard this, he was with them all the way, so his heart moved, and he wanted to take two people by the way, otherwise if they were orphans and widows, they didn't know how much suffering they would have to suffer, but she couldn't do it herself, so she didn't dare to agree easily.

So she touched Yan'er's head, "You go back to the room to take care of your mother first, my sister still has something to do, I'll go back later." ”

Yan'er nodded sensibly, and then went back by herself.

Tang Xi thought about it, and then walked towards Huo Jinyan's room.

"My lord? Are you there? She asked, knocking on the door.
