Chapter 3 (1) Records of the Army

Hu Xuan was confused, feeling that someone was slapping his face, and finally opened his eyes vigorously, and saw that it was Shi Suo, calling to pat himself. He shook his head, feeling a lot of pain.
With the support of the stone lock, he got up, and found himself sitting on the ground of the restaurant, rolling in the soil, and his whole body was cold, hard and painful, looking outside, the sky was just dawning, and the east was a morning glow, and it seemed that it was the morning of the next day. He remembered that he and Wu Jinbao's gang should have been eating in the restaurant yesterday evening, drinking noodle soup, and then they were unconscious.
Sitting up and looking around, I saw that the tables and stools around me were crooked, but there was no one in sight, and there was only myself and Shi Suo in the restaurant.
Hu Shu asked, "When did you wake up?" ”
"I just woke up and saw you lying on the ground, and that's what woke you up."
The lively restaurant in his memory is now silent, Hu Xuan felt an inexplicable fear, and Shi Suo also said: "I see, let's go quickly, I always feel that there are strange things everywhere here, and I don't know where those people have gone." ”
The two of them went around inside and out, the owner of the restaurant and the others didn't see any of them, the three carriages brought by Wu Jinbao were still tied outside, and there was no one around the restaurant.
The two of them packed up, their baggage was still there, and the things inside were not missing, and they untied a carriage from the outside, and Shi Suo asked, "Do you want to drive all three carriages away?" If you can't use it yourself, you can sell it in front for money. ”
Hu Xuan said: "Don't do it, the goal is too big, I don't think we are out of danger yet, it is important to run for our lives first." ”
The two drove a carriage, and the other two were abandoned there, and walked a little further into the village, and when they met pedestrians, Hu Xuan asked: "Who is the owner of the restaurant outside the village, is it from the village?" ”
The villager shook his head blankly and said, "There used to be a small restaurant there, but the boss suddenly fell ill and died ten days ago, and the restaurant has been closed." ”
"Really?"
"Why isn't it true, I'm still going to hang my filial piety."
Saying this, the two of them felt even more frightened, like a nameless ghost, staring at them all the time. Hurriedly shouted at the cattle and hurried forward.
After walking for more than 20 miles, repeatedly inspecting the surroundings, there was no abnormality, the two slowly relaxed their mood, and Shi Suo asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"Of course, continue to the south and find Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party."
Got out of the custody of others, and rode freely in the carriage to find ideals, and slowly the two of them became more open-minded, recalling the encounters of these days, only to feel very dangerous, and very strange, and many things could not be understood.
All the way to the south, Xiaoxing overnight, but also smooth, even walked for more than ten days, this day to the Xinyang boundary, listen to the people on the road said: there is an army in front of the battle, the cannon sounded earth-shattering, killing a lot of people. The two of them were excited, and someone was fighting, which meant that Sun Yat-sen's army and the army of the northern warlords were at war and were close to their goal. However, after driving the carriage for a long time, I did not hear the sound of artillery, let alone a fight, and only occasionally saw the fleeing people, helping the old and the young, hurrying away.
