Chapter 13: Wandering the Streets
Cui Ping walked aimlessly on the street, the white sun shining on the earth, without a trace of shade.
I felt sad in my heart, thinking about the sweet and warm feeling of being by my father's side in the past, tears poured out unconsciously.
Refugees displaced by the war are pouring into Anping City like a flood sea.
Everywhere there were refugees begging along the streets, unclothed, hungry, and glazed-eyed, dragging their tired bodies forward little by little under the scorching sun.
How difficult it is for them to live, and the desire to survive prompts them to muster up the courage to walk hard.
The news of the defeat of the Song army, like the news that all the officials in the Anping County Order and the Yamen had been killed overnight, boiled over the city.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, God, open your eyes and see, how all living beings live, how to live.
A middle-aged woman with a face full of vicissitudes raised her head with difficulty and said to the vast sky.
The middle-aged woman was holding a little girl of seven or eight years old in her hand, walking tiredly.
The little girl couldn't walk anymore, and shouted weakly: "Mommy I'm hungry, Mommy I'm hungry."
The middle-aged woman glanced at the girl helplessly, brushed the broken hair scattered in front of her forehead with her hand, and helpless tears flowed from her eyes.
said weakly: "The child should hold on a little longer, I hope I can meet a good person."
The girl had not eaten for several days, and she was so hungry and hungry that she used up the last bit of strength in her body, broke free of her mother's hand, and lay on the ground motionless.
The middle-aged woman looked at the child who had fallen to the ground, looked up at the very hot weather, and shouted with her last breath: "God, save my child, save my child."
After speaking, he crawled on the ground and hugged the child and cried vigorously.
There was laughter in the clear sky, and the Eight King Kongs saw the miserable appearance of the common people, dancing in the clouds, and they were very happy, and one of them held a wine gourd and drank heartily in the air.
Tengu Blue Wind laughed darkly, and said in a gloomy and terrifying manner: "Big brother with a black face, look at these people in the Nether Realm who are to blame, why don't you give them some poisonous rain, and let them become lonely ghosts as soon as possible."
Sky Eagle Blue Sky said angrily: "What do you mean by the yellow-haired monster, don't I just have a darker face, it's much stronger than your yellow hair on your face, and then talk nonsense, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you."
Tiangu Lanyun said: "Brother Hei, isn't this an honorific title for you, you are so cute and outstanding, not to mention the fairy world, who in the world can have such a black brother, you should be called the first black in the world, I am a loyal fan of your black brother."
Tianying Blue Sky listened: "My heart is beautiful, and my mouth keeps chattering, well, I should be the first in the world, I love to hear this, I love to hear this."
Suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned around and said viciously to Tiangu Lanyun: "Yellow-haired monster, are you praising me, or sarcastic me in disguise, I don't care if you are a fan or shredded meat, you can't become a block, if you want to become a block, Lao Tzu will beat you into meat sauce, and you can't even make shredded meat."
Tiangu Lan Fengtian said shamelessly: "Brother Hei, how dare I sarcastically mock you, I really praise you, you are black cute, black outstanding, black is the first in the world, I can't be as black as you in another 8,000 years, you are the dark horse prince in my mind, if I am a woman, the first choice is a husband like you."
Sky Monkey Lanyun really couldn't listen to Lan Feng's flattering language, laughed, and said: "Yellow haired dog, you don't pee to take care of yourself, you have to compare with the eldest brother with your virtue, and you have to be the wife of the eldest brother, you can't make a face, it's just a cheap embryo."
Tiangu Lanfeng was furious when he heard this: "Living dead monkey, just your half-dead appearance, you don't feel embarrassed, how can you speak, little brother, I don't bother to pay attention to you, I'm afraid that you can't withstand the wind and waves, and the soul that is more angry than me will return to the west."
Sky Eagle Blue Sky saw that the brothers were arguing, and hurriedly shouted angrily: "You two are arguing, shut your mouths for me, and then throw the quarrel to the lower realm to be eaten alive by these hungry people in front of you."
When the two brothers heard this, they didn't dare to say anything, and quietly hid aside, you look at me, I look at you, and no one obeys anyone.
Cui Ping saw the girl fall to the ground.
Hurriedly ran over: "I took out the dry food from my arms, broke it and opened the child's mouth, put it in, opened the kettle and fed the child two mouthfuls of water."
The girl chewed her food weakly, and slowly opened her eyes, with a look of hope in her eyes.
The remaining half was given to the middle-aged woman, who said with difficulty: "Thank you", picked up half of the dry food, and devoured it.
In the scorching sky, a few dark clouds suddenly drifted in, and it had been a few months in a row that there was not a trace of clouds in the sky.
When the refugees saw the dark clouds, they looked at the sky as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and the clouds accumulated more and more, and suddenly it began to rain heavily.
The refugees stood in the heavy rain, opened their mouths to inhale the nectar from heaven, and shouted with joy, but how did they know that because of this rain, their lives were over.
Tengu Blue Wind sneered: "These untouchables will all die in an instant, the lethality of my poisonous rain is very powerful, don't believe you."
As soon as Nanfeng's words fell, thousands of refugees rolled on the ground, clutching their stomachs and crying.
Their hands and feet began to rot slowly, and the refugees wept and rolled, and the pain was so intense that they were worse off than dead, until their whole bodies rotted, leaving behind white bones.
The original fresh lives turned into countless white bones in an instant.
Cuiping watched the vicissitudes of life, and was so frightened that she hurriedly ran up, running for forty or fifty miles in one go, until she couldn't see the white bones before slowly stopping.
Cui Ping looked back, a black gas slowly rose from Anping County, straight into the sky, the sky, shrouded in black gas, black gas hovering back and forth in the sky, faintly forming a huge "injustice" word, a long time before dissipating.
Cui Ping thought: "This is probably the anger of these unjustly killed refugees towards God, when will their grievances be revealed."
She secretly vowed in her heart that one day I would take revenge through my own efforts, so that my father and these unjust refugees could be vindicated."
Cui Ping walked forward aimlessly, and when he couldn't hold on to it hungry, he took out the dry food from his arms and ate a few bites, and drank a few sips of water from the kettle.
At night he lived in the grass, and listened to the howls of the wild beasts with trembling spirits, so frightened that he did not dare to fall asleep.
The sky dawned and she got up, and continued to rush aimlessly, death and fear accompanied her all the time, and the god of death said that it would come to him at an inadvertent moment, he thought silently, and then he thought about it.
Along the way, the mountains and rivers were broken, the eyes were desolate, the ten rooms were empty, the fields were barren, there were no people, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and there were naked white bones everywhere.
After walking for three days and three nights, I came to Nanyang County, the situation in Nanyang County is better than other places, and I didn't see so many refugees on the street, and the people rested at sunrise and sunset, showing a peaceful scene.
After arriving in Nanyang County, Cuiping finished eating the last piece of dry food he was carrying, and his stomach was croaking with hunger.
Hearing that people on the street said that Zhao's mansion recruited laundry and cookers, she mustered up the courage to come to Zhao's mansion and worked as a vegetable washing and cleaning helper in the kitchen, which can be regarded as a temporary home.
After arriving at Zhao's mansion, Cui Ping worked hard, never told others about her experience, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, and the housekeeper Li Zhong did not know the true details of Cui Ping.
Cui Ping gets along with other subordinates, never competitive, she takes the initiative to help whoever is in trouble, so the subordinates like her very much.
Now she inexplicably let the housekeeper take it away, and all the subordinates are worried about its fate.
