Although the road ahead is confused, and although the weather is hot and dry, Xu Yuan still feels that the air outside smells better than that from Xu's house.

After meeting with Xiaolan, Xu Yuan wanted to give her the deed. In this era, fugitive slaves are a dead end, and no one will be held accountable if they are caught and killed directly. Xiaolan is still in the Xu Mansion for her, regardless of her deed, whether it is because she is simple and does not think of the consequences, or is loyal to her, Xu Yuan is grateful and trusting.

And Xiaolan, who was already whitened by the scorching sun, had an even worse face, and she waved her hand again and again in panic: "Miss, how can this be done?" Don't you want to be a slave? ”

Xu Yuan was surprised by Xiaolan's actions, but she didn't have time to push back and forth, so she could only say, "No, how can I not want you." Then I'll take this deed first, and when you want to get rid of slavery, you will do it with me. This trip is dangerous, we can't be too eye-catching, we can't have any maids, you are my sister-in-law, after the death of the husband, take the sister-in-law to escape the famine, remember? ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Xiao Lan subconsciously replied, and when he saw Xu Yuan's helpless face, he reacted and hurriedly silenced.

Xu Yuan took the arm of her "sister-in-law" and told her all the way.

The sun was so big that it hurt people's brains. Xu Yuan planned to go north. Although I heard that there was a drought in the north earlier, the drought was not very serious, and it was almost autumn at this time, and the weather should gradually cool down. The cockroach is born in the south and loves heat. Xu Yuan thought again, if she was a locust, she should also want to go south. The southern land is about to reach the harvest season, and the green leaves are abundant, while the northern land is barren, and there has been a drought before.

Now there are many hungry poor people who want to go out of the city to survive, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan wanted to line up to go out of the city, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Xu didn't want her to stay alive, so she asked Mama Zheng to communicate directly with the soldiers to send them out.

The two of them were now dressed in shabby, their faces were dirty, and their lips were about to be scorched by the sun, so they looked like they were going to die, and no one came to trouble them.

Most people think that the Northland is also a disaster area, and there is no way to go there, so they all go south. There are not many people like Xu Yuan who want to go to the north. A kind aunt reminded them that the direction was wrong, and Xu Yuan only said that she had relatives in the north, and she wanted to flee to him this time.

On the first and second days, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan took advantage of the night to secretly chew some cakes and drink some water together. Xu Yuan thought that if she continued like this, she would be able to hold on for a while, and she would be able to hold on to a place where refugees could be accommodated. On the third night, when they were quietly eating with people on their backs, they were discovered by the other hungry people, and almost all the things they had stored before were gone, except for the things that were sewn into the innermost clothes, all of which were robbed.

It's like falling into the abyss, trying to grab a glimmer of light and climb up, but someone kicks it down.

The road is too difficult to walk, and the little food and water that Xu Yuan barely protects can't last long. No matter how unfavored this body is, in essence, it is just a little girl who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, how can she stand such a long journey without leaving the door on weekdays.

Xiao Lan is slightly better than Xu Yuan, but he is only standing in one breath.

Xu Yuan didn't know that she had been gone for a few days, and finally, she fell into a long dream.

In the dream, she was an ordinary modern girl for a while, going to college, living in a dormitory, and living an ordinary and fulfilling life; And the next moment, she became the current Xu Yuan, escaping under the scorching sun, and suddenly, she became a corpse and completely dissipated in this world.

Xu Yuan's consciousness was confused, maybe it was not a bad thing to die. I asked Mrs. Xu for that handful of gold leaves before, but I wanted to escape to a certain village or town, and then find a way to make up an identity, so that I should change my identity to live. Now there are refugees everywhere, as long as you have money, it shouldn't be difficult to get a household registration, and then find a way to do business and find a way to survive......

But she thought, even if she survived, she was an orphan girl, helpless, how could she survive under the manipulation of fate? How could life be as simple as she thought?

The mansion, the drought, and the famine were probably just a nightmare that she was caught off guard, maybe as long as she opened her eyes, it was all over.

However, she didn't seem to have the strength to open her eyes again.

Suddenly, Xu Yuan felt someone break her mouth open, and something hot seeped into her throat, sticky, choking her uncomfortably, and pulling her consciousness back from the cloud a little.

Xu Yuan coughed twice and wanted to push away all the things that were fed to her, but she couldn't push it, and her limbs seemed to be fixed in the oil pot, unable to move.

She still fell into a coma.

On the official road, which was once full of cars and horses, there were few people, and there were starvations everywhere, and almost every corpse had the same expression, the same despair, and the same unwillingness.

A low-key carriage drove by slowly, the man in the car was dressed in brocade, his face was like a crown of jade, he was pulling up the curtain and looking out, the place where he touched was lifeless, and he couldn't bear to see it, and when he wanted to put down the curtain, he was suddenly stung in the eye by a touch of bright red.

The man couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to the coachman, "Stop-"

The carriage stopped right next to the bright red owner. Two and a half girls, one unconscious, as if dead; The other was holding his sleeves and cutting his wrists and feeding blood to the unconscious little girl.

The little girl who bled to feed her companions seemed to be about to cry, but she had no tears to shed. Seeing someone walking towards them, this person looked very rich, she was surprised and delighted, and cried: "Childe, childe! Help me! Save my young lady! She's dying, Childe is okay! ”

As he spoke, he carefully put the little girl in his arms and kowtowed to the man vigorously: "Please!" You are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva of great compassion, do well, save my young lady—"

The man was silent and motioned for the coachman to lift her up, while he leaned down to probe the snort of the other little girl.

"Your young lady is still angry, don't worry, I'll take her to the clinic for treatment."

The man spoke, and together with the coachman, he put the two little girls in the car.

The horse's hooves "clicked" again, and at this moment in the ears of the awake little girl, it was the most down-to-earth sound.

The string in her heart finally broke, and she tilted her head, grinned, and fainted.
