Chapter 540: Snatching
Although there are horses, they can only be used as a substitute.
The horses had escaped, and they were hungry, and they could not find fodder on a cold day, so it was good to coax them on a walk or two, and they were not happy to let them spread their hooves and run.
Shi's mother proposed that along the way, there are some small villages and villages, even if people go to empty buildings, they will stay as much as they eat, so they will turn over some materials that can feed the horses, so that the two horses can fill their stomachs.
"I walked all the way, searched all the way, and finally found this Fengjiazhuang," Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law said, "The people in Fengjiazhuang were almost gone, and an old couple saw us, said they didn't know the way, and begged us to take them with us."
The seven girls were kind-hearted and said that the two horses could not carry so many people, so let me look in the village to see if there were any livestock, and they would go together.
I went to look for livestock in this compartment, and in that compartment, the old couple suddenly had a bad idea, and attacked the seventh girl with a mallet, and smashed it directly on the head.
hurt someone, snatched the horse and ran away, Shi's mother had to take care of the buddies again, and looked at the girl, and when I heard the movement and rushed over, there was no one to see.
It's a scary thing to say!
It's not that they don't care, how can they be like this, how can they be like this! ”
Zhu was dumbfounded.
In fact, they imagined that Brother Dong left from the secret passage, but he never appeared at Yumen Pass, either because he had already rushed to the capital, or there was an accident on the way and he was delayed.
It's just that Zhu didn't expect that this accident would be such an accident.
Shi's mother sighed: "Later, we searched all over Zhuangzi, and in fact, we could understand the thoughts of the old couple. ”
The people of Fengjiazhuang also fought for it when they fled, some people robbed horses, some people robbed donkeys, and people like old couples who did not grab the livestock for transportation could only be left here.
Others remained, either without horses or reluctant to leave.
Gu Yunying is kind, if he finds that there are more than a dozen people, he may have to bring them all.
But two horses can't take so many people away, and it's a drag to drive with their legs, and it's more likely that they left the old man behind on the way for various reasons.
The old couple wanted to escape, so they could only rob Gu Yunying's horse, regardless of the others.
Gu Yunying was defenseless against the old man, was attacked by a sneak attack, and was seriously injured.
"The Seventh Girl has been in a coma since that day, but when we left the Northland, the old lady brought us a lot of wound medicine, so that the Seventh Girl's wounds could be treated, and she was not killed." Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law sighed.
The other farmers in Fengjiazhuang looked down on the behavior of the old couple very much, so they left them in the village and shared some food.
Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law and Shi's mother discussed, the injury on the head can be big or small, and it is not a matter to wait for it to continue, so Shi's mother guarded the children, and Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law borrowed a donkey in the village that was so old that she trembled when she walked, and went to Yumen Pass to report and find someone.
"I thought that no matter how much I trembled, I could rest my feet, but I didn't know that after only one day of walking, the old donkey slipped and fell half to death, and my leg was broken." Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law smiled bitterly.
And Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law dragged such a broken leg and insisted on reaching Yumen Pass.
Gu Yunqi didn't interrupt all the time, and waited until Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law finished speaking, and then asked: "We have found some people, but the body of the eldest uncle has not been found, and we have never seen the second brother, the second sister-in-law, the third brother and Yun Chu, and a few brothers in the clan, do you know the whereabouts?" ”
Zhuo Rong's daughter-in-law and Shi's mother glanced at each other, and said: "The second master and the second grandmother went to defend the city after leaving Brother Dong'er, and it is estimated that there is more luck and less luck, as for the third master and the fourth girl, they were in a mess at the time, and they also rushed out to garrison, and like the general, they are still somewhere in the north."
The people in the clan became more and more unaware, and the fifth girl said that she was looking for a few brothers and sisters, but she didn't come back in the end. ”
Gu Yunqi said: "The Yunmiao we found next to the old lady, there are no other children in the house. ”
Zhu probed Gu Yunying's cheek to make sure that she didn't have a fever, so he said to the Gu family brothers: "Be careful, the carriage is slower, you should be able to go back to Yumen Pass." ”
After all, this Fengjiazhuang is not a good place to recuperate.
In order to move Gu Yunying, the carriage was padded with thick fur and cotton clothes, Zhu supported Gu Yunying's head, and Shi's mother carried her to the carriage.
Brother Dong led his younger brother to follow behind, and waited for Gu Yunying to be settled before being picked up by Shi's mother into the carriage.
There was movement here, and the dozen or so people who were still in Fengjiazhuang probed their heads to look at it.
Suddenly, a young lady rushed out, and with red eyes, she handed the child who was only seven or eight months old in her arms to Zhu: "It's a boy, it doesn't matter if you eat or drink, just ask the nobles to take him in so that he can live." ”
Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your child?" What about you? ”
The lady squeezed out a smile: "It's already a great kindness that the house can take in the child." ”
When the Di people hit the north, she was a widow with a child who couldn't grab a horse, and she didn't dare to go to Yumen Pass rashly without knowing the way.
The other two families on Zhuangzi couldn't get out, and handed over the children to the people who escaped, but the lady was not willing, and those who fought for the carriage and donkeys with sticks in order to escape for their lives entrusted the children to them, but they were afraid that they would throw the children away halfway.
Rather than this, it is better for her to fight, and bet that the Di people will not find this small Fengjiazhuang.
But the family in front of her is different, the lady has dealt with Shi's mother, although the other party did not reveal her identity, but she can see that the family is well-bred and very kind.
Entrust your children to them, and you should be able to live in peace.
Zhu felt sorry for the child, held the baby in his arms, and turned his head to look at Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunqi.
The two Gu family brothers discussed briefly, and Gu Yunxi raised his voice and said: "How many people are there in Fengjiazhuang, which ones want to leave but can't go, and which ones don't want to leave in life and death?" ”
As soon as he said this, many people who were hiding on the side and watching poked their heads out, and in the end, in addition to the four people who were resolutely unwilling to leave, there were five other adults and three children who wanted to leave but did not escape.
The three children were about the same age as Brother Mian, and they didn't take much space when they stuffed into the car.
All but one of the five adults were thin women.
Gu Yunxi said: "Even if it is a refuge, it is not important to pay attention to whether it is spacious or not spacious, if you can squeeze it, or ride a horse together, although it is difficult, it will also escort you to Yumen Pass." ”
Everyone is grateful, they can't do the same thing as the old couple who hurt people and take cars and horses, and it is already a great grace for people to take them, where do they dare to ask for so much.
As for those who insist on not leaving, they are all old people.
Gu Yunxi did not persuade, the old man recognized his homeland, just like his grandmother, and he would die in the north.
