This journey is not easy, there may be people in the world who are not afraid of death, but no one is not afraid of suffering in the fear of waiting for death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info was originally a relaxed and comfortable return trip, but due to the death of people one after another, the atmosphere of these days has been tense to the extreme.

The four of them lost the interest in talking, Jiang Yun drove the carriage, and couldn't help but recall the scene in a TV series "Xiao Li Flying Knife" that he watched before the crossing, Li Xunhuan was escorted to Shaolin on the way, and was chased and killed by the five poisonous boys, and it seemed to be this embarrassing and dangerous thing.

I don't dare to eat, I don't dare to drink, and no one knows whether the food in my hand is poisonous. But the difference is that Li Xunhuan's flying knife has enough deterrent power, as long as he endures hunger, the problem is not too big, at least the enemy does not dare to ambush head-on. But Jiang Yun's four people in the car now, although it can't be said that they have no power to restrain chickens, but including Xu Huanting, the general of the Great Zhou, none of them are "martial arts masters", in addition to guarding food, they have to go all the way to crowded places, and it is too risky to rush overnight.

This makes matters worse. People can endure without eating, but they can hardly support without drinking water. In this era, most of the drinking water was taken directly from deep wells and rivers, and now the Yangtze River has not been crossed, and the number of rivers in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty is scarce, only well water is available, but the well water is precisely the most easily poisoned, how dare he take it to drink.

After walking for two more days, the drinking water carried by several people has been completely used up, which will not only Ji Luo, but even Xu Huanting have shown signs of weakness, and her spirit is gradually exhausted. The two girls spent most of the time in the carriage asleep, as if this was the only way to make themselves better.

The weather was cold, it was already dry, and he hadn't drunk water, Ji Feng's lips had cracked slightly, he instinctively stretched out his tongue to moisten it, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyun, stop it, let me go down." ”

"Huh?"

"We can't go on like this, we can stand it, and Wan Ting and Xiao Luo can't hold on. There is a debtor and a debtor, Yan Wu's target is me, and I shouldn't embarrass you. You asked me to get out of the car, and then took them to hurry overnight, as long as they crossed the Yangtze River, they entered the sphere of influence in Jiangnan, and it was not much danger. ”

"Big brother Hugh wants to say this again," Jiang Yun shook his head and said: "Don't say it's me, Luo'er will never agree to leave you, even if we can go back safely, how can we face my father-in-law at all times?" We are a family, we can't be together in trouble, what is a family? ”

"Ugh." Helplessly turned into a long sigh, Ji Feng knew Jiang Yun's character very well, since he couldn't say anything, he simply shut up.

The carriage continued to drive south, and after noon, it finally arrived at Kaifeng Mansion in Henan. When passing through Qixian County, Jiang Yun suddenly saw a stall on the side of the street out of the corner of his eye, and there were many people around him.

Can you sell so good baked cakes? He drove the carriage to a stop when there were fewer people, and said to Ji Feng: "Big brother, wait a minute, I'll go over there and have a look." ”

Throwing the horsewhip in his hand to Ji Feng, Jiang Yun crossed the street with his legs, and after clearing the crowd, he looked inside, it was really a baked cake stall. The stall owner is a thin old man in his fifties, probably because he has been setting up a stall outside all the year round, and his skin is slightly dry and yellow, revealing a little dark. He diligently took out two pieces of baked cakes from under the shelf, then opened the crockpot on the countertop, scooped out a spoonful of orange sauce with a small spoon made of bamboo, poured it on top, smoothed it and put the two pieces together, and put them into the bamboo basket beside him.

Jiang Yun was very amused, and asked, "Uncle, what are you painting here?" ”

The little old man raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yun, grinning: "This is the old man's homemade jam, sweet and delicious, spread on the baked cake, bite down, the mouth is full of sweetness and is very refreshing, but it is not like what others sell, it is dry and difficult to swallow." ”

As he spoke, he threw another one into the bamboo basket, and his mouth was still chattering about it.

"Alright, you hurry." The middle-aged woman next to the stall urged impatiently, "I'm waiting to eat at home." ”

"Oh, good." The little old man glanced at the bamboo basket and asked, "How many?" ”

"Two, two more, hurry."

After the little old man had made four in a row and put all of them into the basket, the woman took out her money bag, took out a dozen copper coins from it and handed them over. "Take it."

"Okay." The little old man smiled and thanked him repeatedly. "Thank you for your patronage."

The woman was about to leave when she lifted the bamboo basket, but Jiang Yun stopped her with a flash. "Auntie, what about the four breads, can you eat them?"

"Do you want to take care of it?" The woman's eyelids rolled and said impatiently, "Get out of the way." ”

She didn't have a very good temper when she saw it, but Jiang Yun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Auntie, discuss something with you, can I give me these four cakes?" ”

"Let? You can buy it yourself. The woman looked him up and down disapprementedly. I said you young man, it's too troublesome to line up? ”

Jiang Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it over. "Buy you four loaves and let me not say a word."

The woman stared at the silver with round eyes, this time she was very simple, without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed it, and handed the bamboo basket to Jiang Yun casually: "The basket is also for you." ”

"Ouch, young man, you bought it from me!" The little old man who was making cakes was full of salivation, and said hurriedly: "One or two silver, I'll make you twenty!" "He's really red-eyed, don't look at his daily business is good, but if he wants to earn a silver or two, it will take at least two days, how can he be cheap for others.

"No, I'll just want these four." Jiang Yun smiled slightly, took the basket and turned around to leave.

Ji Luo and Xu Huanting had already gotten out of the carriage, standing beside Ji Feng and waiting, seeing Jiang Yun trotting back with a bamboo basket, the two girls had smiles on their faces.

"Xianggong, what is this?" Ji Luo has turned into a greedy cat, raising her little hand, her index finger against her lips, her eyes sparkling, staring at the bamboo basket.

Placing the bamboo basket on the car, Jiang Yun took out the baked cakes and handed them over. "Big brother, yours. Luo'er, Huanting, it's yours. Hurry up and eat, and hurry when you're full. ”

Looking at the baked cake in his hand and playing with it for a while, Ji Feng frowned and said, "Is it safe?" ”

"I bought it from another guest, and if it's not safe, I really won't have anything to eat." Jiang Yun picked up his share, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Whew, I really want to." ”

Ji Luo painted a gourd like this, smelled it too, and grinned: "I can't bear to eat it." ”

Of course, she was just talking, she had been hungry for so long, where could she hold back the jam baked cakes in front of her, and the next moment she opened her mouth to bite down. Suddenly, she moved, as if she felt something, and her hands holding the baked cakes froze in the air, looking down.

A dirty little hand was holding Ji Luo's skirt, the owner of the little hand was a teenage girl, her whole body was ragged, extremely dirty, she was thin, her hair was yellow, a pair of eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her eyes were timid and full of apprehension. Beside her, there was a small three-month-old yellow-brown dog, the cub sticking out its tongue and rubbing it at the little girl's feet.

"Pretty sister." The little girl looked at Ji Luo with a look of struggle on her face, full of expectation. "Can you enjoy stuttering?"

"Uh... The little girl was so pitiful, Ji Luo couldn't help but feel sympathy, and asked softly, "What about your father?" What kind of person runs down the street? ”

"My father and mother are dead, my grandmother is also dead, and I am very hungry, so I came out to find food." The little girl spoke, her eyes were still fixed on the baked cake in Ji Luo's hand, and she swallowed her saliva. "Sister, I haven't eaten for two days."

I haven't eaten in two days! Ji Luo smiled bitterly in her heart, but the little guy's appearance was really pitiful, she gritted her teeth and struggled for a moment, and then handed over the baked cake in her hand. "Eat."

A flash of light flashed in her eyes, and the little girl was overjoyed, hurriedly took the baked cake, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, sister, you are a good person, God will definitely bless you." ”

Touching her head, Ji Luo reluctantly smiled: "Hurry up and eat." ”

"Yes." Nodding vigorously, the little girl was just about to bite down, when she suddenly heard a slight low sound, she looked at her feet, and said with a smile: "By the way, Xiaohuang, you are also hungry, right?" As she spoke, she carefully ripped off a piece of biscuit.

The little girl's movements were very gentle, for fear of wasting crumbs, and her eyes were full of seriousness.
