Tie Niu found some herbs and chewed them on the wound that was stitched up messily, the cool feeling made Yang Bo, who was hoarse just now, groan, and the numbness was much better, and he just relaxed his mind, and the tiredness hit him and he couldn't open his eyes anymore.

Yang Bo leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep, snoring as soon as he lay down.

Tie Niu cleaned up the clutter nearby, lit a few more bonfires beside the two of them, and fell asleep.

Yang Bo, who fell into a deep sleep, did not know that in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Yellow River broke at Mengjin, and countless military and civilian merchants were killed and injured. Shandong, against Kong Youde, most of Dengzhou Mansion is erosive. Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and others plundered Shanxi, and Li Zicheng raised his prestige in Guanzhong. In Fujian, piracy is rampant. and Hou Jin Jiannu is still eyeing the tiger again, and the whole Ming Dynasty looks like an apocalyptic scene......

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and in addition to the sound of insects, there were occasional creepy sounds around him, perhaps the murder left a psychological shadow on Yang Bo, or the first two days were too impressive to be hunted down, or... Too close to the campfire, Yang Bo had a nightmare for the night.

A vicious-looking soldier chopped off his head with a knife, and the bloody head was hung in front of the horse's head, and he bared his teeth at his headless body......

Yang Bo screamed in fright and opened his eyes, only to find that it was already dawn, and the iron bull on the side was looking at him in embarrassment.

"Iron Bull, what are you doing here?" Yang Bo sat on the ground and gasped for a few breaths before calming down, he reached out and touched his forehead, fortunately, there was no fever.

"I want to put some soft weeds on the back of my eldest brother's head, so that I don't have trouble sleeping on the stones. I didn't want to, but I alarmed the eldest brother......" Tie Niu, who was moving Yang Bo's head, smiled a little embarrassed.

"Hmm......" Yang Bo was a little speechless

Tie Niu had already baked the food, Yang Bo found a small straw stick and patiently removed the swollen gums more than a dozen times, and then went to the waterhole to rinse his mouth carefully, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

Thinking of those people on the Internet who are fascinated by crossing, Yang Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly, if he had a choice, he would rather go back to his leisurely life as a small clerk in the later life, and leave this sad opportunity to others, if those people can adapt to the pain of not brushing their teeth for a long time.

The two of them had a full meal again, and prepared some dry food to bring with them, and when they were full, they had the strength to eat, and the mountain, which originally seemed unreachable, was not so towering.

After two days of arduous trekking, Yang Bo and Tie Niu finally stood on the top of this mountain, although they had prepared for a long time, it was much more difficult to obtain food in the mountain, and the two of them were so full and hungry, and finally climbed over the moat that blocked them.

The wind at the top of the mountain blew the tattered linen cloth on Yang Bo's body to hunt, and he propped his left hand in front of his eyes and looked into the distance.

On the low hills opposite, there were several thatched huts hidden in the vegetation, which excited the two who had not been inhabited for a long time.

"Big brother, where is that?" Tie Niu asked curiously, Yang Bo shook his head, compared to Tie Niu, he couldn't figure out the direction.

"We can go there and ask for something to eat," Iron Bull said excitedly, gesturing to the thatched hut.

Yang Bo frowned and said, "Let's go and see the situation first."

The road down the mountain is even more difficult to walk, and it took another day for the two to finally come to the vicinity of these huts, Yang Bo stopped the impulse of the iron bull, and the two of them crouched in a bush to observe the thatched hut in front of them, it seems that the owner is not at home, the yard door surrounded by a fence is false, and there are a few clothes and pants hanging on the earthen wall outside, and in the distance, a few dogs locked in the kennel outside the house smelled the smell of the living, and began to roar low towards Yang Bo.

"These people are also very poor" Yang Bo muttered secretly, he didn't want to contact these people, in troubled times, especially in troubled times where life cannot be guaranteed, there is no harm in being cautious, but those few clothes made him hesitate.

A dog suddenly broke open the narrow crack in the door and roared towards Yang Bo, and then, two more dogs broke free!

"I'll go and lure the dog away, you steal those clothes" Yang Bo pointed to the back, "We meet there"

Tie Niu turned his head and saw that the meeting place that Yang Bo said had bypassed these families, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Aren't we going to the village to ask for some food?" ”

Yang Bo hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "We don't lack food along the way, at least it's much better than eating mice, you look at these dilapidated houses, they may not be willing to help, why should we cause more trouble?" ”

Tie Niu nodded, Yang Bo took a deep breath, tightened his trouser belts, and ran towards the dogs, starting to provoke from a distance.

After a while, Yang Bo's screams echoed in this peaceful mountain......

Most of the mountain people raise dogs for housekeeping and hunting, so where can Yang Bo please these murderous creatures? Tie Niu carried two clean clothes and looked at Yang Bo in a daze like a rabbit, and from time to time squatted down to grab a clod of dirt to scare and scare the vicious dog that followed his ass closely.

It didn't seem to have any effect, those dogs didn't pay any attention to Yang Bo's threat at all, they stared at Yang Bo's neck with bared teeth, ready to come up and pounce on their prey at any time!

Fortunately, Yang Bo grasped the advantage of distance, and when he saw that the intimidation did not work, he quickly turned around and continued to run wildly, and one person and three dogs ran farther and farther around the circle, and soon disappeared into Tie Niu's gaze......

It wasn't until most of the day that a lonely figure appeared in front of Tie Niu's eyes, and Yang Bo stuck out his tongue and ran into the grass nest, paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up.

"I hastily ...... I ran for more than 80 laps, but fortunately, there were only some old and weak women and children at home" Yang Bo cried with a sad face, "cough, I was almost bitten!" ”

Seeing the few clean clothes on Tie Niu's shoulders, Yang Bo suddenly became happy, "How is it, Tie Niu?" Is your brother and I running fast? It turned out that when I got school...... Well, yesterday the glory has been downplayed, don't talk about it, don't talk about it. ”

"What's the use of taking the risk of asking for these clothes, is it worth it" Tie Niu touched the clothes that were still a little dewy and asked, these clothes are full of patches, but they are cleaner.

"Of course it's worth it," Yang Bo said, "People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles...... The most important thing is that there are no nasty lice in these clothes! ”

Tie Niu smiled innocently, this brother of the Yang family is delicate, what is the matter with a few lice in his clothes?

Yang Bo rested for a moment and got up and patted Tie Niu, "Let's go, let's follow this path, we can find a crowded place tomorrow morning, and ask where we are at that time." ”

Dianshan County ......

At the gate of this small earthen city, Yang Bo saw a dilapidated and mottled plaque hanging on it, and relying on his vague impression of Dangshan crisp pear, Yang Bo recognized these words half guessing and half blindly.

The accent here was a little soft, and they asked several people along the way, but they didn't understand the local dialect. Dangshan County of later generations is located in the northernmost part of Anhui Province, at the junction of seven counties of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui provinces, but after the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Dangshan County belongs to the six departments of Zhili Xuzhou Zhili Prefecture.

"We've arrived at the boundary of Jiangsu!" Yang Bo said to Tie Niu with some excitement. Jiangsu has a dense network of rivers, which is a rich area compared to the north. Hearing that this place is relatively wealthy, Tie Niu also nodded excitedly, "At least, we have a way to live, right?" ”

The commotion at the gate is like a bazaar, Tie Niu is curiously looking at a large group of people around the city gate, Dangshan County is very lively these days, there are a large number of hungry people who have arrived here one after another three days ago, and now there are countless soldiers at the gate of the city with spears and waist knives to drive away the hungry people gathered together.

Tie Niu's heart sank, Brother Yang was not wrong, the officials here really refused to accept these hungry people from across the province!

The open space at the gate of the city was black, and there were only a few thousand people, and this was still the one who walked in front on the way to escape from the famine, and it was conceivable that more hungry people would arrive one after another.
