Chapter 105: Corpses are everywhere, starvation is everywhere
Under the calm command of the little queen Bin, the carriage finally escaped from the sphere of influence of the Tuyuhun tribe without danger.
After such a toss, it was already completely dark, and after the carriage left the small tribe of Tuyuhun, it turned east and west and stopped in a hidden place in a mountain col.
"Get out, the grievances between Tuyuhun and the female country will eventually come to an end, cherish your life before that, and fight it off on the battlefield."
Jin Ju lifted Bugen from the carriage and threw it to the ground.
Buzhen Lianbu Tuo let out an "oops", and looked at Jin Ju with hateful eyes.
Jin Ju ignored Buzhen's murderous eyes, slapped a few hands with both hands, and tapped Buzhen Lianbutuo's forehead.
Bugen let out a scream of "ah" and fell to the ground unconscious.
"It's easy to do now, and you don't have to worry about him leaking his whereabouts."
Jin Ju may have been with the Qinghua Taoist for a long time, and he didn't learn anything else, but the triumphant expression of the Qinghua Taoist was a vivid learning.
Seeing that the little queen bin had his own arrangements, Xiao Yu was inconvenient to interfere, and stepped into the carriage where the master and Wang Daozhen were.
In the carriage, Xiao Yu did not shy away from Wang Daozhen, and told the master what happened just now.
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the Ferris monk frowned slightly, and groaned with his long beard in his hand.
"Brother Xiao, I'm hungry, I still have a piece of bread here, you pad your stomach first, and I'll go down to make a fire and cook rice immediately."
Wang Daozhen on the side was obviously not paying attention to what Xiao Yu said.
"Thank you, Daozhen, you have a heart." Xiao Yu smiled and reached out to take the cold cake.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to get ready to eat."
Wang Daozhen saw that Xiao Yu didn't care about the dry hard cake in his hand, and he was happy in his heart, and he didn't wait for Xiao Yu to speak, and got out of the carriage happily.
"Apprentice, it's okay for you to go with that little queen to meet the saint."
The Ferris monk opened his mouth, "We are worried about how to get close to the emperor, and this is just the solution to your and my urgent needs." ”
Xiao Yu also nodded.
"But," the Ferris monk said, "If the little queen wants you to pretend to be a Tuyuhun person, just tell you directly, for the sake of your friend Jin Ju's face, I guess you won't refuse." So what did she bother to tell you about the women's ancestral hall before? ”
Xiao Yu was shocked when he heard this, what the master said was right, why did the little queen bother to tell herself about the ancestral hall of the women's country? And invite yourself to see it for yourself.
It's like...
It's as if the little queen would love to go on her own.
"And your inference just now," the Ferris layman paused, "I also think that there is some truth in the teacher, but it doesn't make sense everywhere. ”
"Alas, Yu'er, anyway, you follow the little queen to face the saint first, the matter of the ancestral hall of the female country and the matter of the Jizi and the goddess of the female baby will be put aside first, the big thing is important."
Xiao Yu nodded solemnly, now it seems that he can only follow the little queen Bin to face the saint first, and then take one step at a time.
"Brother Xiao, layman, you're ready to eat."
As soon as the master and apprentice finished speaking, Jin Ju's voice came from outside the carriage.
The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, got up and got out of the carriage.
…
"Brother Xiao, I told Bin just now, let's eat something, take a little rest and set off."
In the hidden place of the mountain col, the tribesmen of the female country secretly lit a few torches, but for fear of revealing their whereabouts, the fire of the torches was very small, and it took a lot of effort to prepare a little food.
The little queen Bin didn't sit with Xiao Yu and them, but sat around a fire with Tang Tianran and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"If it's fast tonight, it's estimated that it's out of the range of Tuyuhun," Jin Ju's mouth was full of stuff, and he said vaguely, "I should be able to go to Xiping County in Dasui at noon tomorrow, and rest there again." ”
After saying that, Jin Ju was about to reach out and take the last piece of food again.
"Hey, what's the matter with you," Wang Dao on the side was really unhappy, "Brother Xiao hasn't eaten a few pieces yet, how much have you eaten." ”
"What, I've only eaten seven or eight pieces."
"That's it, you're really..."
“…”
Xiao Yule watched Wang Daozhen and Jin Ju talk back.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene, and Xiao Yu thought of Han Liyan and Qinghua Daoren again.
…
After a short rest, the group went on the road again.
The early winter of Tuyuhun is not as cold as that of Buzhou Mountain, but the cold wind is enough for people to bear.
Xiao Yu hid in the carriage, while recalling the conversation he had just had with the little queen, while listening to the dull sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground outside.
"The ancestral hall of the women's country."
"Basket."
""Hong Fan Jiuchou"?"
Just thinking about it, Xiao Yu fell asleep unconsciously.
"Dada"
"Stop, who?!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and a rough voice woke Xiao Yu up.
"It seems that Tuguhun is finally out of Tuguhuun." Xiao Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and at this time the sky was already bright, and what came into view was a border checkpoint.
The checkpoint was not high, and there was a group of soldiers standing in front of the door, led by a man who looked like a captain. Looking closely, there were a few white-skinned and high-nosed Westerners in the group of soldiers.
Listening to Wu Chang's slightly more standard cut rhyme, Xiao Yu was slightly excited in his heart, he had been tossing for so long, and he finally came back.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, we are a caravan from a small tribe country in the south of the Green Mountains, and I also ask the master to make it convenient."
Tang Tianran quickly stepped out of the carriage and secretly stuffed a handful into Wu Chang's cuffs.
Xiao Yu saw that Tang Tianran had already prepared, and there was not much to do at the moment, so he watched the scenery on both sides in the carriage.
finally passed the checkpoint, and the number of people on the official road gradually increased.
"Alas, this originally endless trade route is no longer prosperous."
After Xiao Yu woke up, he went to the master's carriage.
Xiao Yu had never been to Xiping County, and originally thought that Xiping County was located on the border of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was normal for it to be sparsely populated, but he didn't expect that this barren land turned out to be a trade artery.
After being reminded by the master, Xiao Yu found that almost everyone in the caravans that occasionally passed by on the road was expressionless, with a yellow complexion, with obvious dishes on their faces, and the whole person looked listless and weak, just moving forward mechanically step by step.
It seems that the Great Sui has indeed begun to make a living as the master said, and even the businessmen who wander within the interests and chase after the copper smell are like this, and the lives of ordinary people can be imagined.
"Ah, there!"
Wang Daozhen next to him suddenly covered his eyes and shouted.
Xiao Yu hurriedly looked in the direction of Wang Daozhen's finger.
I saw a dead body lying on the side of the official road.
The corpse should have been dead for a long time, not only the clothes but also the muscles and muscles on the body have been peeled off, the head is very scary to be gnawed by some animal, the head has become a skeleton, and some unknown small insects are burrowing in it.
Fortunately, Xiping County is located near Buzhou Mountain, the temperature is relatively low, the corpse did not decompose further, and the smell was not so strong, if it weren't for Wang Dao's really screaming, Xiao Yu really didn't find that there was a corpse on the side of the road.
Hearing Wang Daozhen's scream, the pedestrians on the official road glanced at the carriage strangely, and after following Wang Daozhen's gaze and seeing the corpse, the expression on his face did not change, and he did not even pause, and continued to walk forward numbly.
"Alas!" Xiao Yu sighed, is this still the people of the Great Sui who live a rich life in his impression? When did they start to become so aloof, so insensitive?!
Xiao Yu's chest suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he looked out of the carriage without saying a word.
Out of the outpost, along the way scattered encounters a few larger caravans, close to noon, the group finally arrived at Xiping County, Huangshui County.
"Ladies and gentlemen, give me something to eat."
"Master auspicious, let's enjoy the stuttering."
"Your Excellency, okay..."
Before the group entered the city gate, a large group of ragged clothes called Hanako surrounded them, and several carriages were surrounded in an instant, and they couldn't move.
"What is this?"
Xiao Yu was shocked, he really didn't expect that the ordinary people of the Great Sui had reached this point.
Looking at these people who are scrambling to squeeze into the carriage, although a few of them are in rags, it is not difficult to see that the clothes they wear are barely gorgeous before they are worn, and these people are obviously middle-class families before they are reduced to asking for food.
Have even these people been reduced to this?
"Give me, give me!"
Wang Dao really couldn't bear it, and threw down a piece of cold cake from the carriage window.
In Xiao Yu's opinion, the bitter and tasteless cold cake is a life-saving holy object in the eyes of Hanako.
"Give me, give me!"
For a while, the callers around the carriage fought for a piece of cold cake, and countless people stretched out their hands to grab it desperately, regardless of image and dignity, mixed with the cries of women and children.
Seeing that there was food here, more and more Huazi flocked to the carriage that Xiao Yu was riding.
"Not good!"
Xiao Yu was shocked, there were more and more people, and even more people were already planning to forcibly board the carriage to find food, if they were allowed to come up, their own people would probably become the same as them.
"Brother Xiao, I'll count to three, and we'll beat the horses and rush over together!"
Jin Ju stood on the top of a carriage at some point, shouting at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded, if he didn't act again, it was estimated that his group would really encounter accidents.
"Hiss"
Xiao Yu slapped the horse's buttocks hard, the horse was in pain, and raised his head and screamed.
The surrounding shouting Hanako was frightened by the sound of horses, and when they didn't react, several carriages rushed out of the "encirclement" with a "whoosh".
"Da Da Da"
After the carriage rushed into the city gate, it galloped on the road of Huangshui County without delay.
Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the situation just now, he was still afraid for a while, if it wasn't for Jin Ju's urgency just now, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
Huangshui County, as the seat of Xiping County, is not luxurious, but it should also be a little prosperous, but at this time, the streets of Huangshui County are full of hungry skinny and bone-covered flowers.
One by one, these Hanako were so cold that they cowered, sobbing and snotting, but their eyes kept looking at the road to see if it was possible to beg for something to eat.
However, the road was almost full of hungry pedestrians, who probably had nothing to eat except for the last handful of old bones.
Xiao Yu was in a heavy mood and was silent in the carriage, it seems that the master is in the same situation as the Great Sui he said, and even more so.
Suddenly, somewhere in the city, there was a commotion.
The voice was noisy at first, but then it became neat, and when you listened closely, there were bursts of singing wrapped in the voice.
The singing came from afar, and Xiao Yu finally understood the meaning of the lyrics after listening to it for a long time.
"Zhishilang in front of Changbai Mountain, pure red Luo Mian's back crotch."
"The lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun.
Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. ”
Suddenly, when he heard that the official army was coming, he raised his knife and swung forward.
For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. ”
This is?
This is!
Is the world going to be in chaos?
No one cares about such reactionary lyrics?!
Xiao Yu, who understood it, only felt a cold sweat running down his backbone.
