Chapter 64

As for the fact that I am going to the border, Mo'er is very much in favor, if it was left in the past, she would definitely say that I was reckless, and even if I agreed, she would whisper a few words, but now she did not say a word.

Mo'er has also changed, and has changed with me. I feel sorry for her, she was originally in love with Qianche, but now she doesn't mention Qianche anymore because of me. She said I couldn't put it down, but she didn't let it go again.

On the second day, Mo'er and I went to the horse shop and selected two good horses, and bought some flatbread for dry food, and everything that should be prepared was ready.

When I was leading the horse through the Jade Girl's Workshop, Erniang, who sold rouge and gouache, saw me leading the horse and poked her head out and asked me, "Where are you going to buy a horse?" ”

"I'm going to go on a long trip!"

"How long will it take to be back?" Erniang asked me again.

"I don't know, if it's fast, it may take a few days, if it's slow, I don't know if it's slow." Erniang's words stopped me, I just wanted to go out but didn't think about coming back.

"Now the world is not peaceful, you have to be careful when you go out of a girl's house!"

I smiled and nodded.

Thousands of miles away from the border, there are countless dead and wounded, only Huancheng is still as calm as the lake, and this calm makes me a little scared. How peaceful Huancheng is now, maybe how terrible it will be when the enemy army invades.

Standing on the stone bridge, I remembered the day he ran across the stone bridge with me on his back, and the faster he ran, the happier I became, thinking that it would be like this forever. At a glance, people come and go, traffic is busy, Huancheng is really prosperous.

But no matter how prosperous it is, it doesn't mean anything to me, the people in the city are empty, and the feelings are gone, and I have begun to lose my nostalgia for everything here.

I want to go and want to go, this place where I have lived for 18 years cannot be trapped in the end.

In the evening I packed my things, but I didn't really have anything, just some silver. I'm still going to travel light, and I probably don't really want to come back after I find Xuanwu.

I went to the ancestral hall to worship Daddy and Aunt Song, and told them that I was going to the border, and I didn't want anything to happen to Xuanwu again. I do what I want, and I don't think they'll stop me. I went to bed very early that night, I couldn't sleep in bed, I hope the sky will light up soon, I hope I can see Xuanwu soon.

As soon as the morning dawned, I went to the basement of the study to take down the portrait of my mother. I can't take the spiritual positions of Daddy and Aunt Song, but I must take the portrait of my mother, because the time I spend with my mother is too little and too little. Besides, this time I went to the border, and I wanted to take my mother back to my hometown.

Suddenly said that I was leaving, I was still a little reluctant in my heart, after all, there are too many memories of me in this big house, after all, Daddy and Aunt Song are here.

Thinking that Xuanwu didn't ask me for help in such a difficult situation, and thinking that I had promised him that I would take him to Huancheng for a good trip in the future, I made up my mind again. With the portrait of my mother on my back, Mo'er and I set off with our horses. We walked very slowly, because Mo'er could not ride a horse, and he always sat unsteadily on horseback, and every time he walked, he was bumpy and bumpy.

I don't know how many days we had to walk for three days, and sometimes I was thirsty and drank tea at the tea shop halfway through, and I always heard people complaining that the days of displacement were miserable like the war, and the owner of the tea shop complained that the war had made him have fewer customers.

But even so, the boss will still provide free tea to the uncles and aunts passing by.

In fact, there are still many good people in this world.

After drinking tea, I put more silver on the table, and when I got up to lead the horse, the boss stopped me when he collected the teacups, "Miss, you gave more silver!" ”

I said, "I went to your tea shop two years ago and forgot to give you the money, and this is for you." ”

The boss wiped Han with a strip of white cloth on his shoulder: "But why don't I remember someone on credit!" ”

"But I remember!"

Mo'er and I dragged the horses away, and the boss still looked at us in a daze, until a few more guests came and he went over to greet us.

When they are poor, the common people crave food and clothing; In times of war, the common people longed for peace in the world.

In April, when the earth was rejuvenated, I saw horseshoe prints on the green grass when I was on my way, and the road was trampled by groups of people.

The grass is not green, the flowers are not red, is this the legendary life?

After three days of driving, until I saw the red peach blossoms, I knew that I had arrived in Nanshan, and I knew that I was almost in Chenjiazhai. So we quickened the pace, hoping to get to Chenjiazhai as soon as possible.

When I walked to the vicinity of the slightly popular village, I wanted to go in and ask for some dry food, but the doors were closed, and there was hardly any one. When I walked a little further, I met several groups of people, some of them were men and women, some old and some young, the old ones could no longer stand upright, and the little ones were still swaddling babies. They carried their baggage and walked in a hurry.

We also blended in, and for some reason the men looked at us with such hostility, and my horse knocked down an old woman, and Mo'er and I went over to help her, and she staggered to her feet.

"Old man, where are you going?" I asked her.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and wiped the burden on her back, "The battle is about to come to our side, we have to run for our lives!" ”

"And where are you going to flee?" I asked her again.

The old grandmother's brows had long been wrinkled into a line, and her face was full of deep lines, "Who knows, follow everyone, I'm going to go, I'm afraid that my son won't find me when he comes back." At this point she began to shed tears.

"Girl, you're from out of town, aren't you?"

I said, "Yes!" ”

"You may not know that Tianyue has lost a few battles, and the Huns are about to fight, so you should run for your lives!" After saying that, the old woman followed the army again.

I led the horse before I could recover my senses, but I heard someone shouting behind me, "The Huns are coming, everyone run, everyone run......"

About dozens of Hun soldiers rode over from the front, and the group of villagers who were about to flee for their lives were forced to turn back the same way and run past me, and some of them knocked me into pain.

The man with a fierce face riding in front was supposed to be the leader, wearing armor, a helmet on his head, and a whip in his hand, leading a group of men towards this side with a fierce attitude. The villagers only had two legs, and they were all old people and children, so naturally they couldn't run fast, and the Hun leader rode a horse and caught up with them at once. The Huns whipped them with whips, slammed their horses on them, the villagers ran desperately, screamed desperately, men protected women, women protected children, and behind me was their screams, the cries of children, and the despicable laughter of the Huns.

I saw their frightened faces, and watched them fall one by one, blood splattered on the trampled lawn, and the original yellow earth had been stained brown with clumps of blood.

I suddenly remembered the time when Daddy and Aunt Song died, and the blood was also flowing out in clumps. Instantly, I felt a little weak in my legs and feet, and looking at the people running around, I felt that the whole ground was turning. I had a headache, a terrible pain, the kind of pain that was going to explode.

"Miss, Miss, run......"

I heard Mo'er call me, and when I opened my eyes, Mo'er was knocked to the ground, and she was lying on the ground, struggling to reach out to me, and shouting Miss.

I woke up and wanted to help Mo'er, but there were too many people, and I was bumped around, and then I stood up step by step on the back of my horse. In the past, Fu Mo'er, her leg was injured by someone in a panic, no wonder she couldn't get up.

I picked up Mo'er: "Mo'er, let's go!" ”

We followed the crowd and walked up and down, and within two steps the Huns rode around us and a few surviving villagers.

I stood in the middle of the crowd with Mo'er in my arms, and the villagers almost didn't dare to move. The leader didn't know what to say to the creeps around him, and the minions dismounted and whipped us in line.

The leader sat on the back of the horse and smiled at us: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be afraid, we are good soldiers who punish evil and promote good, everyone knows that we are now fighting with Tianyue, as long as you all hand over your silver and food to provide us with war use, you can all live through this mountain today." ”

Everyone lowered their heads and whispered, and an old man said on crutches, "Official, this is a war every day, and eating is a problem, we really have no money!" ”

The leader glanced at the old man and dismounted and walked in front of him, and then took out a few ingots of broken silver from the bag on his chest, "No money?" So what is it? ”

The old man panicked instantly, his eyes stared straight at the silver in the leader's hand, and he squatted and pulled the leader's clothes, "Official, this is my last silver, for my grandson to eat, the child is still too young to be hungry, please give it back to me!" ”

The leader threw the old man to the ground with a fierce flick, "Give it back to you, your grandson can't go hungry, and our army can't go hungry when fighting!" ”

The uncle was old and couldn't get up when he fell to the ground, so the villagers ran over to help him and struggled for a long time before he got up.

The three- or four-year-old child went over and hugged the old man's thigh: "Grandpa, I'm scared ......"

"Don't be afraid, grandpa is here!"

"Yo, this is your grandson, he looks like a water spirit, and now the army is the time to use people, I think this kid is quite suitable."

The uncle stood in front of his grandson and hugged him with his hands, "No, his father has been caught on the battlefield by you, I don't know if he is dead or alive, besides, he is so young, he will definitely die......"

The inhuman leader began to tear away the uncle's hand: "I don't care if he has a life or not, it is his honor to die on the battlefield, and it is to give your family glory to your ancestors!" ”

"Grandpa, I'm not going!"

"Xiao Zhi, come back quickly!"

The leader here dragged the child, and the uncle and the villagers over there desperately protected the child. As soon as the leader beckoned, the soldiers took out the whips on their waists and whipped them hard, and the villagers, most of whom were old men and women, could not withstand their beatings, and saw that the child was about to be pulled by the leader.

I wanted to go over to stop me, but Mo'er grabbed me and said to me timidly, "You will die in the past!" ”

I patted Mo'er's hand: "It's okay, that kid is more pitiful than us." ”

In fact, from the day my family was ruined, I didn't take my life so seriously, so why should I take things that are opposite sooner or later?
