Chapter 126: The Dragon Gets Trapped in the Water
The government's order, everyone did not dare to resist, so they had to cry while packing up their belongings and leaving their hometown.
The road was rainy and rainy, the mountain roads were rugged, the dirt roads were muddy, the carriages and horses were scarce, and the big furniture could not be brought at all, so I had to pack up the soft and carry it on the road. Even so, it was very slow and slow. Moreover, after five or six days, many frail elderly people and children began to have fever and chills.
Slowly there were more and more patients, and although the young general urged day by day, and arranged for officers and soldiers to carry the luggage for these old and weak women and children, and finally even gave up his mount to a seriously ill old man, there was still no way to make people go faster.
At first, I could walk twenty or thirty miles a day, but then I could only walk ten miles a day, and in seven days, I only walked more than a hundred miles. It is still nearly 80 miles away from the destination of Guangping City.
As I walked, I met people from other counties and cities, and slowly there were more and more people, the ranks of immigrants became larger and larger, and more and more people were killed, injured and sick every day. The immigrants valued love and filial piety, and refused to bury them on the side of the road at will, but it was impossible to take the corpse on the road, so they had to find a sensible old man to see the tomb, bury it along the way, and carefully mark it, ready to come back and get up again. The little general urged back and forth every day, and his mouth foamed in a hurry.
Mo Xiaoxiao is also very worried, her physique is relatively good, these days she just feels tired, hungry, and sleepy, but she is not sick yet. But Duofu and Qiu Niang started to burn one after another. Mo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hold the luggage for them, supporting one with one hand.
At night, Mo Xiaoxiao sat in front of the fire, today the rain stopped, they felt better, but it was impossible to find dry firewood, and the wet wood burned for a long time was thick smoke, choking people to tears. Mo Xiaoxiao went to get hot water and came back to feed Qiu Niang and Duofu.
It was easy to settle the two of them, and Mo Xiaoxiao sat down to rest.
The migrants sat in all directions, and people close to them huddled together for warmth. Occasionally, there was the coughing of a sick person, the cry of a child, and most of them were tired and hungry, and fell asleep as soon as they sat down.
The sky was dark, and no stars could be seen. Mo Xiaoxiao thought of the fortune-telling technique he had learned, looked around, plucked a few grasses casually, counted them, and arranged them according to the hexagram technique in the astrological technique, and calculated the fate.
The water is on the water.
This is going northwest. But they're going north, aren't they going back to the water?
But it doesn't make sense to say this, after all, the big water is in the southwest, and they just go north, and in terms of topography, the north is the best, and after crossing a Shuanglong Mountain, it is very safe......
Shuanglong Mountain?
was thinking hard, and suddenly a scene appeared in front of him.
From a distance, the green mountains are faint, the two mountains are entwined together, like two giant dragons lying down, and the two mountain roads with silver winding on the mountain are seen closely, and a wider oblique climb up the back of the mountain, and then obliquely winds down after the back of the mountain, there is a lake at the bottom, and there is another dragon mountain opposite the lake......
Mo Xiaoxiao's eyelids jumped, the scene in his mind changed, and the quiet Shuanglong Mountain became noisy, full of immigrants with vegetables on their faces, supporting each other to climb the rugged mountain road......
Over a mountain ridge, the migrants, who were already in rags, cheered, feeling that they were safe for the time being, and the fatigue of the past few days suddenly flares up, and everyone feels that they can no longer walk. So the deputies were elected to petition the general, asking for a half-day rest here.
Over the years, although it has not been smooth, but it is also very safe, even the farmers in the countryside have not had such an experience of displacement, not to mention that there are many rich families and landlords in it.
The little general has been extremely anxious for several days, for fear of causing a civil uprising, and he is also very tired, so he agrees.
The immigrants sat on the ground and brought out their food. The surface of the lake, which had been quiet and waveless, suddenly began to fluctuate abnormally, and strings of water bubbles in the center of the lake bubbled upward.
A few brave young men were about to go to the lake to catch fish, and as soon as they entered the water, they suddenly disappeared with a miserable cry.
The immigrants rioted in panic, Mo Xiaoxiao saw himself, Qiu Niang, and Duofu being pushed backwards, and in the lake behind him, a huge splash flew up, revealing a dark blue giant snake.....
Mo Xiaoxin jumped, the scene disappeared, and the immigrants who were still sleeping quietly around her, and Qiu Niang next to her was still breathing quietly.
Mo Xiaoxiao's face turned a little pale, if the foresight was correct, then she foresaw the danger in the future in advance this time.
That giant snake was nothing to her with magical powers, but to her mortal body, she was like a giant beast in the wilderness.
You can't go down that path! None of the people here are any match for the Serpent!
But how can she make people believe what she says? Mo Xiaoxiao had a headache.
She wanted to save herself, and she also wanted to be able to save these mortals by the way, but she didn't want to be treated as a babbling witch who was thrown into the water and fed to the giant snake first.
After thinking about it, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Mo Xiaoxiao was woken up by the noise.
The leading officers and soldiers shouted all the way, and Mo Xiaoxiao listened carefully, it turned out that he was going to go on the road in advance.
The people complained that they would not be able to, so the officers and soldiers whipped the ground with the leather whips in their hands, rolling up a mud flower, and everyone did not dare to say anything.
Mo Xiaoxin was in a hurry and stepped forward, "Master Jun, it's okay, why do you want to go on the road in advance?" My younger siblings are sick and can't walk? ”
The officers and soldiers were originally impatient, but when they turned their heads, they saw Mo Xiaoxiao's delicate face white and miserable, and then glanced at the Qiu Niang Duofu who was sick one by one, held back his temper, and said: "This is the general's order, there is a heavenly master in the army who calculated today's heavy rain, and the general said that it is best to climb the mountain before the rain." ”
Mo Xiaoxin was happy, so it saved her effort, and the reason she thought of yesterday probably had to be changed, so she pretended to be anxious and said to the officers and soldiers: "Master Jun, the little woman suddenly remembered that my family used to live in a mountain village, and I heard the old man in the village say that there is a dark river in this Shuanglong Mountain, if we go over the mountain like this, and it rains again, and the lake inside rises, wouldn't it just be drowned in it?" Please go and talk to the general, what the little woman said is true! ”
The officers and soldiers were from the north and did not know the situation here, but they were a little hesitant when they saw that her words were sincere and did not look like a lie.
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to urge, just pretended to be anxious: "My younger brothers and sisters are sick, if the water rises by then, the mountain is high, and I can't run, what can I do?" As he spoke, he was about to shed tears.
The officers and soldiers were already hesitant, but they were even more soft-hearted when she cried, so they put down the leather whip in their hands and said firmly: "I'll go and report it." So saying, he ran forward.
Mo Xiaoxiao saw him leave, this is only half the success, what if the general doesn't listen? Her original intention was to find Li Zheng to say, after all, the general had lived in Li Zheng's house for a few days, and now he had to wait and act at the opportunity.
After a while, there was news that everyone should rest in place first. Then some officers and soldiers shouted for the old people, hunters, and mountain people who knew the geography of Shuanglong Mountain to go to the army for questioning.
No one came to call her, so Mo Xiaoxiao had to wait anxiously for news.
The immigrants are all from several nearby counties, and many are familiar with the situation. When I heard that I was not in a hurry, I began to speculate.
