The thirteenth day of the crossing

Walking and walking, the rainy season seems to have passed. The weather is getting cooler and cooler these days, and it should be early autumn.

The Su family's condition was not bad during this time, and along the way, Qingling not only boiled medicine for Su Jingyun every night, but also sometimes boiled some windproof medicine for everyone.

So now Su Jingyun looks a lot better, and his face is not as pale as he was at the beginning. He gradually walked without being supported, and the package on Qingling's back was also taken by him. The others were not sick either, and their faces looked normal.

Brother Yao was still carried by Qingling, and Su Jingyun wanted to help carry it, but Qingling didn't let him. For Qingling, the weight of the little fat man is nothing at all. Just gave him the package.

The weather has been much better these days, and they have walked more. Many times, I take a half-pillar of food at noon, and I am urged to go on the road. The Su family has adapted a lot now. A few children walked hand in hand beside the adults, occasionally looking east and west, and whispering to each other.

Compared with the Su family, the situation of others is not so good. Among the group of people who were in the army, some people died one after another because of illness. They also asked Qingling for medicine, but Qingling was not the Virgin, and after giving it a few times, they didn't continue to give it. Some of them are dissatisfied, but Qingling is not afraid of things. It's just that when I see common and suitable herbs on the road, I will tell you about its function, and if you want to pick it, you will follow it.

Until the west, the moon quietly appeared, and Oshicha found a water source to let everyone rest. The further north you go, the fewer towns there are, and the farther away you are. They often camp out and get used to it. Everyone went to the donkey cart in an orderly manner, picked up the large things, and packed them up.

Oshicha doesn't have the time to prepare steamed buns now, so he directly brings food. Every day, the family divided a few taels of miscellaneous grains and solved it by themselves. Su Jinglan and the others brought back the grains, the Qi family took the Lin family, and Su Mingzhu took it out and cooked it. This is their dinner.

Qingling didn't go to help, as soon as she put the little fat man down, Su Jingyun took her hand and stubbornly wanted to press her. The Qi family also smiled and said that they didn't want her to help. A few small ones also came around to help her take the little fat man.

In fact, she was really not tired, but she watched Su Jingyun seriously massage his arms as if she was doing something big. He also asked her if she felt better. Qingling didn't refuse anymore.

After they finished eating quietly, they put the children to sleep one after another. There was a rustling sound on the other side of the errand. Far away, the intermittent moans of women and the gasping of men can be heard occasionally. The silent night hides all the evils, and under the cover of the night, people have different thoughts.

During this time, some things are still unavoidable. In the predicament, some people choose to protect their families, and some can shamelessly push their family members into the fire pit, just to get some benefits for themselves.

Those who were exiled to Wusu Province with them, the Li family of the original side concubine of the crown prince, were also official eunuchs. I was still holding a shelf before. Now I don't know why, at first I secretly sent his family's concubines to serve those errands at night.

Slowly, he wiped the fig leaf directly, and let his concubine follow the messenger to bring tea and water during the day. This man can still be cheeky and call these men brothers and sisters all day long. This concubine originally gave birth to a son for him, this child looks like he is only eight or nine years old this year, and he is also sensible, Qingling often sees him hiding in the corner and staring silently at his father and mother-in-law, with a shocking hatred hidden in his eyes.

Su Jingli has been separated from the Su family since the last incident. Slowly, the Yang family chatted with the Li family's wife, the Zhang family, and most of the other time they walked with the Li family. But after this incident, he slowly separated from the Li family. Now most of them stay on the sidelines of their own three people.

There's a lot of this these days, and it's really like what the messengers say. Some of those who were in the army were fathers who sent their daughters directly to the errands, and there were also women's husbands and sons who didn't care about sending them directly to the door, just for the sake of stuttering.

It makes people watch a big show, and it's dizzying. Qingling also felt a little pity for those little girls. The youngest of them looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. is still a child, spread such a world, and meet such a father. There really are pitiful enough.

Qingling can help her, but once this happens, once or twice is fine, but if there are too many times, she will inevitably tear her face with those errands. With Qingling's ability, he killed them all. But what to do next, she has no way to bear the rest of these people's lives.

And she has a family. Yes, now the Su family is her family, and in this life she has a husband and children here. Her heart had accepted them. She is selfish and more for their sake.

Su Jingyun didn't fall asleep either, and sighed. Gently patted Qingling's back with his hand, like Qingling coaxing a little fat man. Qingling's mood was interrupted suddenly. She laughed and thought it was coaxing her like a child. For the first time, I fell asleep without cultivation.

On the third day, before sunrise, it was just dawn. In the pale sky, there were still a few stars scattered, and the dew on the ground rolled on the slightly shaking weeds. Everyone also woke up one after another, began to collect firewood, and went to the cha to receive food and cook porridge. After a while, the smoke slowly rises, bringing a bit of popularity to the land.

Qingling didn't need them to pick up their firewood, and Zhang Dashu and his wife sent it to them early. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Dashu are the young couple who were accused by their mother of stealing money and beating their parents. It was a felony in the Jiaqing Dynasty.

Like Qingling, they were exiled to Wusu Province.

A few days ago, Zhang Dashu was infected with a wind chill, which became more and more serious. Zhang Dashu's wife, Wang Guihua, is becoming more and more worried. She picked up a bundle of firewood and begged for Qingling. Qingling knew her, and the two husbands and wives were their own people along the way, and they gave her medicine at that time.

Zhang Dashu's body is also good, and he slowly got better after drinking the medicine. Every time the couple went to collect firewood, they would bring some to them. The same is true today.

Qingling took Su Mingzhu to the waterhole to fetch water and came back, and found that there were fish swimming in the water. This made Qingling very happy. The distance is relatively tight these days, and I don't have time to catch animals, so I drink porridge every day. I panicked when I saw the fish's mouth. I gave the water to my sister-in-law, and I told her that I was leaving.

As soon as the Su family heard that they were going to catch fish, several small ones were eager to look at Qingling. Su Yu said that such a young man was most interested in these, and he was so busy that he said: "Fourth aunt, I'll go with you, and I'll help you get fish." ”

Seeing the big brother like this, several small ones were a little nervous.

Su Yunxi often follows Qingling these days. Qingling is also very good to her and her brother. She is now gradually not afraid of Qingling, and she is faintly still a little dependent.

Now I have courage. Suddenly excitedly ran to Qingling's side and pulled the corner of Qingling's clothes, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I also want to go to see the fish, take me there, okay?" ”

After speaking, he was a little cowardly, and withdrew his hand in fear. She is afraid that her mother will reject her, she wants a mother, everyone has her, and she wants to have it. She wants her mother to comb her hair, and she wants to have a mother's hug like her brother. And the mother is so powerful, so good.

Su Yunyuan here also looked at Qingling nervously and eagerly, he didn't know if this woman would refuse his sister. She probably doesn't like them, they don't know anything but eat. She also has a younger brother, and the younger brother is so cute. She has children of her own.

Definitely don't like him and his sister. But they liked her so much, and he and his sister wanted a mother too. If she can be their mother, he must eat less, be obedient, and work more.

Qingling has the most helpless way to deal with this kind of soft child. How could she not see the closeness of the two children.

She has also walked from this age, with a natural desire for maternal love. For this kind of innocent feelings in the world, people should not be disappointed. Such a soft child holds out a heart and now relies on you wholeheartedly.

Qingling smiled, touched Xiao Yunxi's head, took her soft little hand, and said gently: "Well, my mother will take you there, but you can only obediently watch your mother catch fish by the water, okay?" ”

Qingling beckoned to Yun Yuan, who was looking at her, and asked, "Yun Yuan, do you want to go with your mother?" ”

Yun Yuan, who had always been calm, suddenly rushed over like a cannonball, hugging Qingling's legs. The shy one seemed to be burned and suddenly let go of Qingling, and then nodded vigorously.

Qingling also touched his head and said to the other children, "Go, go wherever you want." It's okay now. ”

Several children looked at their parents in various ways. Seeing that Su Jinglan and Su Jingchen both nodded. The children cheered.

Su Jingyun, who was watching from the side, hugged the little fat man and smiled. Walked up to Qingling's side and thanked her. Qingling smiled. looked at the little fat man in Su Jingyun's arms again, he had just woken up and was still a little unenergetic, and he was rubbing his eyes with his little hands into small fists. The mouth is clicking.

The crowd happily walked to the waterhole. It's just that the Qi family stayed to watch the porridge, and Su Jinglan stayed to accompany her. The other people on the side were also listening with their ears pricked up, and a few others followed.

When she reached the water's edge, Qingling picked a sharp wooden stick and chiseled it with a stone. A few of the children blinked and didn't ask anything. When Qingling was about to take off her shoes and go into the water, Su Jingyun's face suddenly turned dark, and he stopped him and said, "Wear shoes, so as not to get cold." There are also clean shoes in the package, so I'll change them when the time comes. ”

Qingling fell, why did she suddenly change her face. It took a while to reflect. Laughing again, obediently put on shoes and went into the water.

After entering the water, Qingling chose a position and stood still. Observe the surface of the water with your eyes. Seeing the fish swim over, he quickly inserted the wooden stick held in mid-air at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of the water, and plunged it hard. Hit, the nervous at the water's edge covered their mouths and watched a few children excitedly shouted: "Plugged in." Plug in the fish. ”

Next, Qingling smoothly inserted a few more tails and washed them. So he went back with the high-hearted child.

Seeing that Qingling had caught a fish, some other people were also eager to try. But these exiles and conscripts had not fished like this before. It's hard to catch a fish without mastering the skills, and you end up empty-handed.

As soon as I come back, I don't have to worry about Qingling. Su Jingyun took Qingling to change clothes.

Seeing so many fish, Su Jinglan discussed and sent half of them to the chagrin, the other half was boiled in the morning, and the rest was roasted and wrapped in leaves, planning to eat it at noon. After eating a meal of fish porridge, everyone was satisfied and hurried on.
