Seeing the sunset, I was a little anxious. Now as far as the eye can see, it is still a wilderness, and there is no one in sight. But Xiaobai and I need to take a break, and there is still a long way to go.

I lowered my head and said, "Xiaobai! Thank you! We need to hurry, we must find a place to spend the night tonight. Xiaobai's feet have sped up a lot.

The stars were dotting, the moon was bending, and finally, I saw a family in the mountains.

I knocked on the farmer's door, and it was an old man who opened the door. He half-closed the door and carried the lamp, which shone on my face. "Girl, what's the matter with you?" There was a defensiveness in his tone.

I smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm passing by here, looking for a place to stay." Can I stay overnight? ”

Lao Suo thought for a moment and pushed the door open, "Girl, come in!" I thanked me, but didn't go inside. My Xiaobai is still outside, and it is still too eye-catching, I said uneasily: "Uncle, my horse is outside, it's okay!" ”

Lao Su said: "I am the only family here. Let it be out there, and nothing will happen! "I look at Xiaobai, who is such a picky eater, is actually eating grass with his head down. It seems that Xiaobai is very adaptable, so I shouldn't need to worry.

When I entered the house, I found that it was so cold. On a broken wooden chair, an old woman sits. I leaned over the old woman slightly. Lao Su explained: "This girl is here to stay overnight. ”

The old woman looked at me, and I looked at her with a smile. The old couple has long been overstretched, and they are afraid of people or things in the outside world. I said softly: "Auntie, my husband has gone to Shancheng, and I will go to Shancheng to find a husband this time." Passing by here, I saw that there were few people in Fangyuan, and I wanted to spend the night, okay?"

The old woman's eyes were much less vigilant, "The family is poor, the girl will stay for one night!" She looked up at the old man and said, "Old man, go and clean up your daughter-in-law's room, and let this girl live!" ”

After the old man left, the old woman asked, "Where did the girl come from?"

I blurted out, "Jinling City!" ”

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "Yo, that girl has been running around for a long time! You must be tired! I'm going to fetch you some water! ”

I grabbed the old woman through my sleeve, "Don't bother you!" I'll just take a break! By the way, you said let me stay in your daughter-in-law's room, why don't you see your son and daughter-in-law?"

The old woman's expression instantly became solemn, and I intuitively felt that I had said the wrong thing. was thinking about how to save it, and the old woman said: "Don't hide it from the girl, in today's world, who of us ordinary people can still keep our son?" I heard that there was a war in Yucheng, and my son died on the battlefield! My daughter-in-law didn't believe it and went looking for my son! We old couples can't stop her! ”

Battle of Yucheng?! I lowered my head, not knowing what to say for a moment. The old man came out and said, "It's sorted out!" Girl, go rest! ”

I looked at the old woman's sad expression, and a thousand words were blocked in my throat, but I didn't dare to speak. After I thanked him, the old man handed me the lamp. I looked back at the old woman, and her expression had returned to what she had just looked.

I rested the lamp on the head of the bed and looked at my hand through the faint light, and luckily, the cracked scar was back! The wound on the back, I myself is too difficult to medicate! I took my fanny pack out of my waist and took off my underwear, so I had to smear the powder on my clothes and put it back on. I lay down, and there was a tingling sensation from the wound on my back, but the medicine had been applied.

There is a window in the room. After I turned off the lights, I lay on my bed and looked at the stars in the sky. I suddenly remembered the Buddhist saying, "Mustard seeds are mustard, mustard seeds are mustard." The war in the world is nothing but the competing interests of a group of people. Whether it is a king such as Liu Bang, or a defeated man such as Xiang Yu, they are all famous in history. However, whether it is the Battle of Long Spoon or the Battle of Hongshui, every battle is fought by soldiers, and they will be just mustard seeds. Mustard depends on the people who are high up to survive, and those who are high up will always know only their own interests.

I wanted to turn over, but I could only keep it that way. I really want peace, but peace comes at a price. After all, one day, it will be up to the deer to die. Chu Yi flashed in my mind, and Xia Qian also flashed. Born in troubled times, it is destined to never be able to shake hands as friends.

I fell asleep thinking about it. I rolled over in my sleep, pressed the wound on my back, and woke up from the pain.

I stood up and looked outside. I wanted to say goodbye to the old man, but I couldn't bear to wake up the second elder, and I needed to hurry. I tiptoed out and took the package off Xiaobai's body. Last night, it was so negligent that the package was left outside overnight. I opened the package and was amazed again by Chu Yi's meticulousness, there was indeed a lot of money in it, but not all of it was silver, there were a lot of copper plates in it.

I'm still worried that if we give them money, they won't dare to use it. Since it's a copper plate, it's much better! I grabbed some copper plates, tiptoed back in, and gently placed them on the table.

I rode a few steps and looked back to see the thatched hut lit up dimly. When we meet, we will say goodbye.

Xiao Bai traveled day and night, occasionally stopping to rest and drink mountain stream water, and I mainly ate wild fruits. I don't know how long I have been sleeping, and I finally arrived at the junction of the two countries.

When I saw the "Good City" written on the city gate, I was really like a rain after the rain! I led my horse and walked slowly into the city. I don't know where the person who picked me up from Wei Guo is now, and Princess Yi didn't say it clearly.

Having no idea, I decided to find an inn to take a shower. After a few days of hurrying, my body exuded a strange smell, and the pedestrians on the road seemed to avoid me a little.
