Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Camp

The bonfires were concentrated on high ground, and in order to avoid being extinguished by the small stream formed by the torrential rain, Gu San skillfully raised the stones of the bonfire. The survival skills learned in the zombie world in the past can be used in a different era. In the absence of high technology, the instinct to survive is the same in any era.

The women and children were curled up a little tired, and the rain dried the children's clothes before drying their own. Under the situation of such a disaster, the women's group did not have the panic and panic that Gu San had feared. They were all very quiet.

This time, the emperor's three sons and two daughters were all brought out together, the second prince was the oldest, he was twelve years old, Murong Yuhua didn't say anything, and then the fourth princess was only seven years old, and she had to be held by a nursing mother, the fifth prince was three years old, and the six princes just given birth to Zhao Yuaner were the youngest, and they were also inseparable from people.

After saying goodbye for so long, the child finally returned to the arms of his biological mother, Zhao Yuan'er held the child in her arms, and read his name "Ze'er, my little Ze'er." The little doll seemed to feel something, and a small hand pinched its mother's fingers.

Gu San patrolled around, and when he walked back to the camp, he saw Zhao Yuan'er sitting by the campfire, snuggling up to Lin Jinyue, holding a baby in her arms. Murong Yuhua didn't know when he walked to her side, looking at this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "We seem to have changed the plot in the end." ”

"How the plot is, who knows but you. It doesn't matter if it doesn't change. Gu San said this, but he was also bored, so he asked casually, "So what is the plot that should have been?" ”

"At least the emperor didn't die so quickly." Murong Yuhua sat beside her with her knees crossed, "In the part of the plot I saw, Zhao Yuan'er was not so quick to be disappointed in the emperor, she is the heroine after all, the heroine is always with the man on the top of the world, and when the rebels came in, it was not the queen who was guarding the emperor, and the queen had already broken off with the emperor because her father and brother died in battle." ”

According to Murong Yuhua's description, in the original plot, although Zhao Yuaner's father had already defected to the enemy, Zhao Yuan'er had always had a deep friendship with the emperor, so after giving birth to her son, she was not beaten into the cold palace, but because of love and loyalty, she directly cut off her own family and regarded her as an enemy.

When King Zhen'an entered the palace, Zhao Yuan'er accompanied the emperor with all kinds of tenderness. Concubine Kang is not as aggressive as the queen in the end, what the queen wants is a dignified emperor, and Zhao Yuan'er described in the original book has not been disappointed in love, she just wants a lover who can work together to face all the suffering.

When her lover said that she wanted to live, even if she knew that such a decision would eventually be laughed at by the world, she was willing to surrender with him. However, this little emperor is just a cowardly man in the final analysis, and it is useless for him to find more reasons for his desire to survive, to put it bluntly, he is willing to pay any price in order to survive.

The dignified emperor ended up living like a dog.

The later story is a bit cliché and bloody for Murong Yuhua, and Zhao Yuaner will eventually wake up from love - of course, the heroine of romance will not be able to escape the next relationship in the end. Concubine Kang's emperor also became a prince, and King Zhen'an, who ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, gave the little emperor a disgraceful title of King An. Concubine Kang also became Princess An.

In order to survive, King An also gave his woman to the hands of the new emperor.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Yuaner finally realized that she was not entrusted.

But in the final analysis, it's just a romance, what can you do if you don't trust people, love is the main tone of the whole book anyway, and in the end, the man she is painfully committed to will also fall in love with her beauty and her tenderness.

"This part is boring. Anyway, you know, I skimmed over it, and for me, this kind of 'love' is a little too unreasonable. First, a leader who has taken the heir is just treating the original emperor's concubine as a trophy, and he is really unlikely to fall in love with her. Murong Yuhua and Gu San discussed very seriously, "Second, in that original story, the feelings of family and country are completely gone, and the emperor is cowardly, Zhao Yuan'er looks like just a little girl who keeps giving herself for love, too stupid, not at all like a hardcore player who has been fighting in the deep palace for many years." ”

"So you're more satisfied with the result now?"

Murong Yuhua looked at the people around the bonfire, as well as Zhao Yuan'er, who was leaning against Ze'er and Lin Jinyue in his arms.

"I think her bones are always upright at this moment, and she always holds her destiny in her own hands. As for the emperor, although the empress is not a good person, I also admire her decision today, she also held her fate in her hands and did not let herself be affected by anything else. ”

It is precisely because of the intervention of Gu San and Murong Yuhua that Zhao Yuan'er has already recognized that the emperor's love is just the most unreliable thing in the world, and it is impossible to count it today and tomorrow. After not being bound by love, although she has become no longer like a romantic heroine, if the emperor is the hero, she doesn't even care about the life or death of the hero, she only hopes that the people around her who really value can survive and escape from the palace.

If she has been confined to her former petty love, maybe she will not be able to receive training like she did later, to plan the layout, to find ways to save as many people as possible, and to plan for the future.

And it's not like she's without a lover by her side right now.

Gu San followed Murong Yuhua's gaze and forgot about the past.

She has a lover, albeit a woman. But it is also a woman who has long since woken up from the lies of the emperor.

Gu San watched quietly like this, and after a while, he and Murong Yuhua said, "I also think that the plot like this is very good now." As long as we keep Zhao Yuan'er, we can keep the balance of this world. Staying in the center of the vortex is perhaps more dangerous than escaping now. ”

She watched as Mama began to set up the stove and prepare to start making dinner, and at this moment, the original dignity and humility in the palace gradually disappeared, and they became sisters who were not related by blood, allies who escaped from hell together, and the palace concubines and palace maids helped each other and prepared to eat together.

That's good, so that at least everybody wants to survive. Sometimes Gu San feels that this situation is a bit like the scene when the zombies in her world just broke out, money and status have completely collapsed, the original class between people has completely disappeared, people have finally achieved equality, and people have willingly chosen equality in the face of life and death.

Dinner was relatively simple, just some vegetable soup and pancakes. Gu San was eating, and his hand was groping on his dagger for a while.

The rain gradually became lighter, I don't know who started, someone sang softly, it was a ballad from the south, and the words were completely in a dialect that Gu San couldn't understand, but Zhao Yuan'er sang along with it.

The women stopped what they were doing and looked up, their tired faces soothed slightly, and the children stopped crying and lay quietly in the arms of the nurse beside them. The person who started singing at the beginning gradually stopped singing, and listened to Zhao Yuan'er quietly with others.

She seems to have sung this song in her hometown language for the first time since entering the palace, and her singing voice is melodious and long, like a starry wildflower between the mountains and rivers, full of wild vitality. After singing the song, the women applauded one after another, but Zhao Yuan'er was embarrassed to blush and bow her head.

On the side, Lin Jinyue asked her, "It's so good, what are you singing?" ”

"It's called 'Picking Rain', and it's our song there." Zhao Yuan'er looked at the old lady who was the first to sing, her eyes flashed with tears, as if she remembered the old days, "I haven't heard the local sound for a long time, and the ballads of this hometown have not only not been heard since I left home, but also never sung." I didn't expect ...... The first time I sang it, it was when I was out of the palace. ”

Lin Jinyue held her hand, "Now that I am out of the palace, the big guys are all free, if you want to go back to your hometown, when the world is stable, I will accompany you back!" ”

They looked at each other, but they all knew where they said that they could go back. When will the world be settled? But at this glance, but there is no need to say anything, a thousand words do not need to be said, it is good to understand in your heart, and you don't have to say it again, it is better to leave a hope for the future life.

Someone here said, "There is also a song in my hometown, and it was not allowed to sing the things of the Riba people in the palace, but now that I am out of the palace, I can sing it." ”

Someone sang again, and for a while, in the midst of the barren mountains and mountains, the women's faces were smiling again, and they were a happy scene.

Gu San looked at them and relaxed slightly. She was alone in the shadows of the trees, and suddenly her ears moved—something was coming from the foot of the mountain.

"Shhhh

Gu San suddenly jumped down from the tree with a serious face while the people were laughing, and then immediately pulled the oilcloth and quickly doused the bonfire with the rainwater stored in the area. The crowd, who was still laughing, panicked for a while, and subconsciously gathered together, holding hands, for fear of being caught.

"Zhao Yuan'er, you take them to the north, remember not to make a sound. Murong. Gu San gave Murong Yuhua a look, and she immediately took the gun out of the basket, "Let's go and lure the pursuers away." ”

Zhao Yuan'er was also a little flustered: "You? And Hua'er? This...... What if you get caught? ”

"There are many of you and the target is big, it is more convenient to escape at night, Murong and I are familiar with the structure of these weapons, which is convenient for action, so it is the most convenient." After Gu San quickly finished speaking, he put the gun on his back and left a pistol for Zhao Yuan'er, "Don't shoot unless you have to, the sound is too loud and easy to expose, don't worry, people, I will lead them all away." ”

After saying this, Gu San's figure disappeared into the mountains and forests like a gust of wind, like a ghost. But in just a few seconds, I heard the sudden sound of gunfire in the darkness—
