Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Unexpected Reunion
The crowd hurriedly picked up their things and continued on their way.
The simple wooden climbing plough was no longer useful, so Uncle Zhao rode the donkey of the village chief's house, and the other two old men rode the big green mule together.
Xu is used to it, and he knows that it is useless to excuse himself.
This time they sat very securely on the backs of mules and donkeys, but their hands were busy, and they looked as if they were carving small things for children.
Everyone walked out of the ten miles in one breath, and only after seeing the sun set up camp again...
In this way, everyone stayed overnight, but whenever they stopped, they seized all the time to dig wild vegetables on the roadside, hunt, and barely make up for some rations.
In three days, he walked more than 100 miles.
This time, I arrived at a city of Fu, Lingquan Mansion.
Looking at it from a distance, the capital city is much more magnificent than the county seat.
But again, there are more carriages blocked in front of the door...
Everyone only glanced at it, and then they chuckled in their hearts and sank directly to the bottom.
Because there was a high wooden fence in front of the city gate, and more soldiers were guarded.
The village chief didn't want to believe it, so he also reported the last glimmer of hope, and personally inquired with Li Laosi and others.
The worst happened!
The money for buying a road for five taels per person was not exempted because the city was larger than the county seat.
The world is as black as a crow, and buying road wealth is still a shortcut for everyone to climb to wealth.
After asking a few times and making sure that they had heard correctly, they walked back with their heads bowed.
Li Laosi pinched the firewood knife and gritted his teeth with hatred.
If it weren't for the fact that the old and young in the family had to take care of them, he would have rushed over directly with a chaotic knife and hacked these miscellaneous pieces to death!
At this time, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Qiusheng, Jiayi!" ”
He turned his head to look, and before he could see clearly, Jiayi had already rushed out like a little tiger.
"Master, it's my master!"
Liu Dart was lying on a car on the side of the road and waving to them, and Li Laosi was also crazy with joy.
Running for his life in a hurry that day, although he sent the news to Liu Darttou, he never saw it since, and he couldn't help but worry about it.
I didn't expect to run into it here.
The three members of the Liu family drove the carriage and quickly followed everyone back to the camp.
When the villagers heard that the city gate in front of them still wanted to buy road silver, they were all mad.
Some people scolded, some people cried bitterly, and the little dolls who had a heavy atmosphere in the camp did not dare to say anything for a while.
Mrs. Liu was thinner than before, and almost lost her appearance, it turned out that Liu Darttou and Liu Yang were both injured.
She has to catch the car and take care of the two of them, which is really unbearable.
At this time, she saw the Li family, as if she had seen relatives, she didn't say a few words, and fell asleep.
Tao Hongying, Mrs. Li and others looked pitiful, covered her with clothes, and boiled porridge tightly to cushion the stomach of this family.
Li Laosi saw that Liu Dart's head and arm were injured, and Liu Yang's back was also oozing blood, and guessed that their family was in trouble.
But he didn't ask much, and only asked Doctor Zhang to help with treatment.
This kind of simple trauma, Doctor Zhang was naturally not embarrassed, and it was disposed of after a while.
Seeing that his wife and children were settled, Liu Darttou also came to his senses, and said as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Qiusheng, I can't walk ahead. Every city has set up roadblocks, the sky is in chaos, we have to fight for our lives. ”
Li Laosi nodded, also sighing.
"Brother Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Dart raised his chin and pointed to the mountains and forests in front of him.
"Over the mountain, you can only go over the mountain. This area, when I was young, was chased and killed by an enemy, and I once walked through it. Enter the mountain here, go all the way to the south, you have to go over more than 40 mountains, but as long as you go out, go down the mountain is the Jinsha River. It is 400 miles less than taking the official road, and it can bypass all the cities. It's just that it's going to be difficult. ”
Li Laosi didn't wait to speak, and the village chief and others who were listening next to him had already gasped.
There are more than 40 mountains, even if you climb one a day, it will take more than 40 days.
Moreover, such deep mountains and old forests are too dangerous, and wild beasts and poisonous snakes abound.
Getting in and wanting to come out is definitely not that simple.
But if you don't climb the mountains and take the official road, there are at least five or six county towns and three prefecture cities.
One person needs at least fifty taels to buy a road, and the whole village is five thousand taels, which is simply a fantasy...
"Brother Liu, you rest first, let's discuss."
Li Laosi left Liu Dart's head, and then gathered everyone in the village with the village chief.
This is a matter of life and death, and everyone has the right to participate in the decision.
At the end of the day, there is little choice at this time.
To stay is to join the displaced people behind and wait for death together, or to make trouble together and fight with the soldiers.
Or simply wait until the Kyoto Imperial Driver comes over and follow the chaos while there is chaos.
But even if you catch the opportunity once, if you go south and pass through Bajiu City, can you catch up every time?
And there are too many people, robbery, theft, abduction and trafficking of children, there are only unimaginable evil things, and there is nothing that cannot be done.
Because they prepared early and went on the road early, they were more complete than others and had everything they could eat, so they must be the primary goal of everyone's eyes.
Maybe it's safer to be in a crowd than to be in the mountains and forests, facing wild beasts and poisonous snakes...
Everyone discussed from afternoon to dusk, and finally made a plan to cross the mountains and reach the Jinsha River directly.
Xu is the previous two mountains are not difficult, although it is tiring to climb, but there is no danger.
This gave the villagers a lot of confidence, and they had already made a decision, and everyone looked more relaxed.
Boil water for cooking, pick up things, and prepare as much as you can.
For a while, the small camp was very busy.
Mrs. Liu slept for a while, drank porridge, and gained strength, so she hurriedly picked up the carriage and packed up everything she could use.
Li Laosan made a climbing plow, and the things were tied up, and Liu Darthead could also drag it to climb the mountain.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were flustered, and they wanted to pick up the basket and luggage at home again, but they were stopped by Mrs. Li.
Others don't know, but she knows better.
There are many things, such as most of the grain, which have been put away by the granddaughter.
This road is flustered, there are many people in the family, and everyone feels that their burden is light, so they think that the heavy things are all in the others, and no one cares carefully.
In fact, there are not many of them who are burdened with their backs.
Looking at her granddaughter again, she was being held and playing by Uncle Zhao at this moment, holding a woodcarved pony in her hand, and a few small white teeth were exposed.
And Jia Xi Jia An is also, one person got a big slingshot, surrounded the two old men, and smiled.
The future is uncertain, but for the sake of the children, all the knives and mountains and the sea of fire must be fought for.
This is also the voice of all the villagers.
If they were to do it themselves, they would die and die, but the children would not have it.
They still have to grow up, they have to get married, and they have so many good days...
On this night, everyone slept exceptionally soundly with such determination.
When I get up in the morning, I still cook on the fire, feed the mules and donkeys, fetch water and store water, and paste bread to make dry food.
The three members of the Liu family wanted to go together, and they also took grain, but it was japonica rice.
Tao Hongying made the decision and left the japonica rice for the children to eat, and each family gathered sorghum noodles and brought them out more than a dozen cakes.
It's almost busy, as long as you eat, you can go.
At this time, Jia An Jiaxi was running around and shouting.
"Grandpa Zhao, where did they go, why haven't they seen it all this time?"
Everyone was surprised, looked at each other, and looked for what was not around.
The village chief said, "Isn't it convenient to go to the neighborhood?" ”
Li Laosi immediately called two villagers to look for someone in the nearby forest.
As a result, just after entering the forest, the villagers suddenly screamed in horror.
"Uncle Zhao!"
The morning bird spread its wings in surprise and quickly rushed into the sky.
The leaves of late autumn are falling one by one, and they are stubbornly circling...
