The autumn wind, with a hint of coldness, blew across the endless thirsty earth.

The drought has made this land lose its vitality at this time, and the end is an endless deserted field, and there are no stenching corpses on the side of the road, most of them are from the fleeing team.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, there was a great drought in Henan, and there was no grass for thousands of miles.

Corresponding to this tragic scene is the relaxed atmosphere of Ogawa and the others.

Chen Xiangyi rode on the captured horse, her beautiful face with a hint of happiness, looked at Xiao Chuan, who was leading the horse for her, and said softly: "Xiao Chuan, you ride a horse, I'm fine."

"No, your bones are not healed, you are not allowed to move for a hundred days" Xiao Chuan pulled the reins and said angrily, for this gentle person like a sister, Xiao Chuan treats her as a relative, how can she be allowed to dismount and walk when she is injured.

All the refugees looked at Chen Xiangyi who was riding a horse with envy, how good it would be if she could ride on a horse herself.

Chen Xiangyi's heart warmed, took the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Wang Youcai, you come to lead the horse."

Wang Youcai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why am I leading, Han Gang, you can come" He was very unbalanced in his heart, and he was very angry with Chen Xiangyi's tone of speech.

"My brother still has to take care of me, why are you so careful" Han Tie pouted, and Wang Youcai was speechless in one sentence.

"It's, it's, that's all that nonsense." When she was with Xiaochuan, the gentle Chen Xiangyi was like a strong woman when she saw others.

"Hmph, I see that my brother is tired" Wang Youcai came to take the reins of Xiaochuan's horse.

Xiao Chuan smiled embarrassedly, Chen Xiangyi rode on the horse, leaned over, gently wiped the sweat on Xiao Chuan's face, and said a little distressed: "Xiao Chuan, why don't you ride with me."

"No, Xiangyi" Xiaochuan refused, if he rode a horse by himself, Wang Youcai and the others would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Wang Youcai looked at Xiaochuan behind him with envy, and sighed: "Damn, Xiaochuan's woman's fate is really good, why don't I have a woman to comfort me"

Hearing Wang Youcai say this, Han Tie smiled: "You see that there are so many women among the refugees over there, you can find one too." The two brothers laughed together.

"Damn" Wang Youcai, who owed the reins of the horse, jumped to his feet and said: "How can I, a member of the Ming Dynasty, find a refugee!" ”

The group laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot. But the further I went, the more dead bodies on the side of the road grew, and the anger slowly became a little heavy.

"Hey, I remember the last time I came to Henan, this place is still densely populated, urgently prosperous, I never thought, it's only been a few years, why has it become like this" Wang Youcai sighed, looking at this boundless desertion with some helplessness.

Xiao Chuan also sighed in his heart, in the previous life, this kind of scene like the end of the world, or only appeared in books, when he returned to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and saw this kind of hell-like situation, the feeling in his heart was indescribable, and said: "I don't know when this drought will end?" ”

"Drought is not the most important, the main ones are the treacherous villains with ill intentions, sweeping the refugees at this time, messing up the Ming Dynasty and the society" Han Tiedao, his eyes swept over the bones on the side of the road, his eyes were full of anger, Han Gang looked at his younger brother, sighed leisurely, and didn't say anything.

"Rioters?" Hearing this, looking at the group of refugees behind him, maybe in the future, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the group of refugees behind him will also become a mob.

"That's right, Gongzi Qin" Dare Tie didn't call Engong like his brother, and always referred to him as Gongzi, and said: "The front is about to reach the boundary of Shandong, and the disaster in that place is lighter, I'm afraid that I will encounter bandits who fall into the grass." ”

"Yes, at the junction of Shandong and Henan, there are countless bandits, and most of the thieves from the two provinces will be here" Han Tie sighed and said, looking ahead, his eyes were full of worry.

"Oh? Why are there so many bandits at the junction of the two sounds? Wang Youcai asked his own questions, he had been studying hard behind closed doors for many years, but he didn't know anything about this kind of thing.

"You don't understand this, right" Han Tie's tone was with a hint of disdain, he mocked Wang Youcai's ignorance, and saw that Xiaochuan also had a curious expression, so he hurriedly explained: "Where these two voices meet, if there are bandits, Shandong, Henan, and the officers and soldiers of the two provinces are unwilling to send troops to exterminate them, Henan said that these bandits are from Shandong, and there should be Shandong soldiers to exterminate them, and Shandong said that these are from Henan, and there should be Henan soldiers to exterminate them, and in the long run, these bandits will all squeeze here."

"I see" Wang Youcai suddenly realized, and said angrily: "Damn, these soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death should really be ruthless, and they actually evade their responsibilities."

"These bandits are familiar with the mountain environment and the terrain, and some even disguise themselves as ordinary villages to exterminate them? Easier said than done! Han Tie dragged Wang Youcai speechless with a word.

Bandits? Xiao Chuan shook his head, feeling a pity in his heart, he was about to go to Shandong, and he would encounter such a place, looked at the two brothers, and asked: "What should I do" As a twenty-first century Xiao Chuan, there is no way to deal with bandits.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely protect your safety desperately when the time comes" Han Gang immediately said loudly, his eyes full of determination.

"Brainless!" Wang Youcai whispered disdainfully, looked at Xiaochuan, and said: "I have also considered this problem Xiaochuan, it is better for us to flee separately from this group of homeless people, if there are many people walking here, we will be targeted by bandits, the most important thing is that these refugees are old, weak, women and children, and being with them will greatly slow down our speed." ”

Han Tie also nodded, and Xiang Yi, who was sitting on the horse, said: "After we separate from them, the target becomes smaller, the possibility of dodging the bandits becomes smaller, and the action is more flexible." ”

"Yes" Wang Youcai said: "That's it, and when the time comes, we will dress ourselves up in tatters, we have the Han brothers in the small group of thieves, don't worry, as for the big ones, don't worry, we can completely avoid them, be careful then." ”

"No, no, these people treat me well on weekdays, it's not good to abandon them and go" Han Gang had some confusion in his eyes, looking at Xiao Chuan, when the two brothers had just taken refuge in these refugees, Old Man Li helped the two brothers, and Han Gang always remembered this kindness.

Several people's eyes have all looked at Xiao Chuan, he is already the backbone of this team at the moment, Xiao Chuan has not received any favor from this team, but if he leaves like this, this group of refugees has not yet entered the Shandong territory, and they will be slaughtered by bandits if they flee to a safe place, Xiao Chuan is a little unbearable, but after thinking about it, what can he do even if he is with them, and what can he do when he encounters a large wave of bandits in the end.

Looking at the group of refugees nearby, I sighed in my heart, I don't know how many of them can go to a safe place, this is the troubled times!

Chen Xiangyi's heart is very soft, she is kind, she actually doesn't want to see the fate of this group of bandits after encountering them, but she cares more about Xiaochuan, as long as Xiaochuan is safer, she can not care about anything, and said, "Xiaochuan, let's leave this group of homeless people, we have no relationship with her." ”

Xiao Chuan sighed, seeing that several people were planning to do this, let's separate from this group of refugees, even if they stay together and meet bandits, what can they do, they can't save them, just as they want to speak, a sound sounded in their heads.
