After listening carefully, I felt that it was wrong, even if the thunder was longer, it was only a few seconds, but the thunder kept ringing, and it had been ringing for more than a minute, and it had not stopped. It shouldn't be thunder!

Zuo Shaoyang listened carefully with his ears sideways, and could faintly hear someone's shouting, and the sound was very noisy, and he couldn't really hear it.

What the hell is going on?

Both of them looked up at the sky, and at this time, the pedestrians on the street also heard the sound, and stood on their feet, looking up at the sky one by one, all listening attentively, with a look of horror on their faces, and an old man said with a pale face: "It can't be...... The rebels are coming, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed color. A man listened intently and said, "That's right! It's the drums of war! It's the sound of war drums! And the sound of shouting and killing! God, it's really the rebels who are here! ”

"Ouch mom! Run! An old woman ran forward with a trembling face and a sad face.

The streets were buzzing around like a hornet's nest.

Zuo Shaoyang also panicked, how could the rebels come at this time? After thinking about it, I understood, why didn't the rebels call? The army in the city went out of the city and went up the mountain to find the rebels to fight, the city was empty, and of course the enemy army attacked the empty city.

It's over!

The rich man of Najia trembled, his face turned pale with fright, he waved his hand at Zuo Shaoyang, he couldn't even speak, stumbled and ran a few steps eastward, found that he was in the wrong direction, and quickly turned around and ran away to the west.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly ran down a few steps, grabbed the bucket and ran back, and as soon as he reached the steps, he saw Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin coming, and the two obviously heard the war drums and shouts of killing, and their faces changed in panic.

Zuo Shaoyang said urgently: "I heard that it seems that the rebels are coming!" ”

Huang Qin also said: "That's it, we also heard about it, what can we do?" ”

"Hurry back, hide in the house, close the doors and windows, and don't open the doors to anyone!"

"Good!" Sang Xiaomei turned around and walked away with the empty bucket, walked two steps and stopped, and turned around and said, "What about you?" ”

"I'm going home! Hide! It's okay, I heard that the rebels don't kill civilians, and even if the rebels come into the city, it should be fine, so just hide in the house. Don't run around! ”

Huang Qin and Sang Xiaomei agreed, and walked quickly with the bucket.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly ran to the pharmacy, and as soon as he crossed the street, Miao Peilan came with a firewood knife in her hand. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said, "Peilan, where are you going?" ”

When Miao Peilan saw him, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Zuo, the rebels are coming, I ......, I'm worried that something will happen to you, so I ......"

Zuo Shaoyang's heart warmed: "I'm fine, the rebels didn't come in so quickly, and there are still many defenders in the city." Let's go back! ”

"Good! Give me the bucket! Miao Peilan took the bucket, and the two ran quickly to the pharmacy.

Pedestrians were in chaos along the way, shops were busy closing, stalls were busy closing stalls, and an old man carrying a bamboo basket selling fruit along the street was knocked to the ground, and the fruit was scattered all over the ground.

Miao Peilan hurriedly ran to help him up, and when the old man saw that she was carrying a firewood knife in her hand, he was so frightened that he ran wildly with his head in his hands, and he didn't even want the fruit on the ground.

The two ran back to the pharmacy, at this moment the pharmacy had closed the door of the store, the two of them opened the door and entered, the house was already in a mess, Zuo Gui and the others were so frightened that their faces were like earth, except Bai Zhihan, sitting on the side of his grandfather's bed, calm and calm, looking at the door.

Seeing Zuo Shaoyang running in, Bai Zhihan immediately stood up, and was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered Zuo Shaoyang's warning and swallowed his words.

The drums of war had become louder, and the shouts of killing had become clearer. At this moment, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the street, and the sound became louder and louder, and the ground shook when I stepped on it.

Zuo Shaoyang looked out from the crack in the window, and it turned out that a group of soldiers ran by, holding various blades, and hurriedly ran over. Then another group of cavalry galloped by. The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone pavement made a roar all day long.

Old Lady Qu's face was as earth-colored, and her body trembled like sifting chaff: "This ......, what can I do about this?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Don't worry, old lady, I heard that the rebels are also very benevolent, even if they enter the city, they will not harm the people." ”

Liang seemed to have found the backbone, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Zhong'er and his brother-in-law were on an errand in the Yamen, and he said that in the past, when the rebels broke the city, they never killed the people indiscriminately! ”

Mrs. Qu said: "That's what I said, but what if I say it wrong?" Or the promise of the official, after entering the city, let the soldiers burn and loot, what should I do? ”

Everyone's heart sank, especially a few older ones, who had experienced a long period of war, and they were all apprehensive about the horror of war, and there were indeed many such bloody examples, in order to boost morale, the leading generals promised that after the city was broken, they would let the soldiers destroy the silver at will, plunder and burn it, and thus break the city. So when Mrs. Qu said this, everyone was not only frightened.

Aunt Long said: "Otherwise, let's move back to our house, after all, our house has high walls and is made of bricks." ”

Old Lady Qu said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Move back! Let's all move back together! Zuo Langzhong's family, as well as this girl's family, also move to my house. My yard is big, and I can live in it! ”

Zuo Gui and the Liang family both said yes, Miao's mother was so frightened that she kept trembling, where else did she have any ideas, Miao Peilan hurriedly agreed, and said, "Thank you, old lady!" ”

Aunt Long said: "Let's go through the back door, our yard has a back door leading to the alley, and from there you can go directly to the backyard bedroom, and the master doesn't have to turn around from the front door." I'll go in from the front and open the door now, and you'll be waiting for me at the back door!" With that, he opened the door and looked left and right, the street was empty, and he hurried out. Liang then closed the door.

Bai Zhihan said to Mrs. Qu: "What about my grandfather? He's running out of breath, and you don't care! ”

He said this obviously to Zuo Shaoyang, but his eyes looked at Mrs. Qu, as if he was complaining about his grandmother, but he was actually complaining about Zuo Shaoyang.

Old Lady Qu looked at Zuo Shaoyang with a sad face.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "What's the hurry, the time for decoction is not enough, and it is almost enough to fry another cup of tea, and the torment time is not enough, and it is useless to drink it!" - You move things over first. I'm here to watch. ”

Zuo Gui and the others hurriedly agreed, and Liang hurriedly ran back to the room to clean up, in fact, there was nothing to clean up on the four walls of the house, and the valuable rice and vegetables were hidden underground. It should be relatively safe.

When they were busy, Bai Zhihan kept looking at Zuo Shaoyang, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Finally, Zuo Shaoyang walked to the kitchen, took the sand pot from the stove where the decoction was made, carefully poured a large bowl, and brought it over.

Bai Zhihan reached out to take it. Zuo Shaoyang smiled coldly and let him take it.

Bai Zhihan saw that the soup in the bowl was too hot, and the steaming heat was steaming, so he put the soup on the round stool next to the bed, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I don't know where the soup spoon is, I have to find a soup spoon." ”

Walking to the kitchen door, Miao Peilan was rolling up the bed on the floor, and she had heard his words, so she hurriedly took a soup spoon and handed it to her.

Bai Zhihan nodded: "Thank you!" "Come over with a spoon, sit on the edge of the bed, and stir gently in the bowl with the spoon. After a while, he scooped a spoonful, blew it cold on his mouth, sent it to Old Lady Qu's mouth, and said softly: "Grandpa, I've taken medicine!" ”

Old lady Qu was already in a deep coma, where could he still hear him speak, his lips opened because of the stroke, but his teeth were biting, and she let her soup spoon touch around her teeth, but she didn't reflect at all.

Bai Zhihan was a little panicked, in this case, she knew that she had to use a crane beak pot to fill medicine, but it also required skills to fill the medicine in the crane beak pot, otherwise it would be easy to pour it into the trachea, or injure the patient's mouth and throat, and she didn't know where the crane beak pot was, so she hurriedly looked back at Zuo Shaoyang, and saw that Zuo Shaoyang didn't look at him coldly, just stood under the window with his hands behind his back, and looked out from the crack in the window, it seemed that the sound of war drums and fighting outside the city was more attractive than her peerless beauty.

Bai Zhihan's face was even colder, he put the soup bowl down, stood up and walked behind him, and stopped talking. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and said to the old lady Qu, who was busy helping the Liang family with their things: "Grandma, grandpa can't drink the decoction, what can I do?" ”

Old lady Qu has also been paying attention to the movement here, as soon as she heard this, she hurriedly came over, and she took the decoction and sent it back, but she didn't respond, and she was in a hurry, so she hurriedly said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Zuo Gongzi, our master can't take medicine, what should I do?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly turned around and said to Mrs. Qu: "Don't worry, old man, the decoction is still too hot, I'll feed Mrs. Qu when it's a little cooler." ”

When Mrs. Qu and Bai Zhihan heard this, they were a little relieved. Bai Zhihan hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and continued to stir the soup in the bowl with a soup spoon. In this way, the decoction was soon warm, Bai Zhihan scooped a spoonful of the product, and felt that it was ready to be taken after looking at Zuo Shaoyang, seeing that he was still by the window and looking out of the window, he didn't dare to talk to him, he still used Mrs. Qu as a springboard, turned his head and said to Mrs. Qu: "Grandma, the decoction is ready!" ”

Mrs. Qu was about to say to Zuo Shaoyang, Zuo Shaoyang had already walked quickly to the concoction room, took out the crane beak pot, walked to the side of the small bed, and didn't look at Bai Zhihan, as if she was vacuum, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup next to the bed, slowly poured it into the crane mouth pot, and then began to pour soup medicine to Old Lady Qu.

A bowl of ginseng soup was poured down, and the hearts of Mrs. Qu and Bai Zhihan were suspended.

At this time, Zuo Gui came over and asked, "How is it?" ”

"The decoction has been poured down. Wait. ”

"Then carry Old Lady Qu to the Qu family's mansion next door, right?"

"Okay, but be careful, make sure it's absolutely smooth!"

At that moment, everyone came to help, lifted the small wooden bed steadily, and moved it to the kitchen step by step, this small wooden bed is a single bed, and the flat end can also pass through the kitchen backyard, and walk a few steps forward from the alley, and you will arrive at the back door of the Qu family's old house. Aunt Long had already opened the back door, and the cot was slowly and steadily lifted in.
