Fu Yong took fifteen people to pick sixteen pairs of baskets, stumbled in the mountains for two days before walking out of the deep forest, along the way, they listened to the howling of wolves and tigers, frightened, fortunately, there was no danger.

As soon as they came out of the mountain, they felt the heat of the sun.

Ah, the sky outside is higher than in the mountains, and the sun is warmer than in the mountains, and the young people feel the smell of freedom.

But they still remember how they hid in the mountains before, so they didn't feel proud for a long time, and looked left and right with a pair of big eyes, for fear that a group of homeless people would run out of somewhere.

But there was silence everywhere in sight, no one, no one, not even the bones on the road.

Fu Yong also felt strange, "If there is no one, forget it, why are there even no bones?" ”

Fu Hong didn't know what he thought, and shuddered: "No, it's not that they are so cruel that they even eat corpses, right?" ”

The young people's faces turned pale suddenly, and Fu Yong slapped his palm on the head, "What nonsense?" How can there be such a murderous person in this world? ”

Everyone was not reassured.

Fu Yong said: "Even if it's really something, there will be bones left, and they can still gnaw all the bones?" ”

He stood on the side of the road, looked carefully at both sides of the road, and said, "There is not a single bone on this road, most of them have not been eaten, but have been collected." ”

The young men breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "There are so many corpses on the road, who will come to the trouble of collecting them?" ”

When they fled, it was common to see corpses lying on the ground on the road, and after they fled, they would leave more corpses behind.

Fu Yong looked at the road, his heart surging, "Who knows, it may be the imperial court, it may be a big dock fort near here, or it may be a chivalrous warrior." ”

The young people directly skipped the option of the imperial court and discussed, "If it is Wubao, will it be the Li family?" The Li family is a gentry here, and there is also a dock fort. ”

"Just that small dock fort, how can it be possible to stop the Huns? When we fled for our lives, didn't there be many people in Lijiawu Fort who fled with us? ”

Fu Yong picked up the bamboo basket again and said, "Don't guess, let's take a look and know." ”

Everyone hurriedly picked up the burden and followed.

But after coming out of the mountain, everyone seemed to have endless questions, "Brother Fu, how do you know that you are going this way?" Have you been here? ”

"I haven't been here, but we escaped from the other way at the time, and the nearest county seat will take at least two days to get there." Two days is too long, so Fu Yong plans to go in a different direction, what if a county seat is closer?

"What if the county seat at this end is farther away?"

Fu Yong: "The destiny of heaven is like this, which means that we have a fate with the county town at this end, and we should accept it calmly." ”

"Alas, it's so desolate outside, these grasses grow so well, the ground must be very fertile, if only it could grow food."

"Grazing is not bad, this grass looks delicious."

Fu Hong looked at Guan Er, who was speaking, in shock.

Guan Er was so frightened that his neck shrank back, and said: "Why do you look at me like this, my family used to be very rich, there were two cows, I often go to herd cattle, I see this grass they love to eat." ”

Everyone retracted their gaze, and couldn't help but look at the grass on the other side of the road, not to mention, the grass looked verdant and delicious.

Thinking like this, Fu Hong blinked, he thought he was wrong, rubbed it and looked again, and found that there were still many cows and sheep on the far side of the meadow.

He was shocked, "Look, are they cows and sheep?" ”

They all looked together, and found that it was true, and the herd of cattle and sheep was gradually approaching them, and they vaguely saw people on the back of a cow.

Fu Yong was startled, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

Everyone immediately trotted up with their burdens, praying in their hearts that the other party would not see them, not to see them......

After running for two quarters of an hour, they were far away, they were exhausted, and they couldn't help but stop and sit on the ground, Fu Hong couldn't say a word, he could only wave his hand at Fu Yong, indicating that he couldn't run.

Fu Yong couldn't run anymore, he turned his head to see that the cattle and sheep were gone, and they should have been rid of them, and he was immediately relieved.

I just wondered in my heart, "Is there really a big dock fort around here?" Or, this place has been occupied by the Xiongnu, otherwise who would have the courage to drive cattle and sheep here to graze? ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts continued to sink, and Fu Hong cried: "Brother, if this place is occupied by the Huns, can we still return to the mountain alive?" ”

They didn't want to do it anymore, they hid in front of the mountain, and saw that the Hun army was menacing, how could there be a dock fort that could be left alone?

Fu Yong gritted his teeth and said: "It's hard to come out, you can't return in vain, even if you can't change the farm tools, you have to inquire about the news, is the country still there, is your grandfather still there?" If I don't ask clearly, I can't feel at ease. ”

Everyone thought the same way, so they endured the fatigue of their bodies, got up and continued to carry the burden, and walked down the official road.

Gradually, the two sides of the road were no longer overgrown meadows, but land that had been reclaimed for cultivation.

Near the water for the field, no water for the dry land, the official road is more and more flat, there are ditches on both sides, there is water flowing in the ditch, a group of 16 people took advantage of no one in the ditch to drink a few sips of water, curious to see the field under the ditch.

The rice in the field is growing very well, the ears are hanging low, the leaves are already yellowish, and in another ten days, this piece of rice should be ready for harvest.

The crops outside the mountains ripen faster than in the mountains.

Guan Er couldn't help but reach out and touch a handful of rice ears, looked up and exclaimed, "Brother Fu, it's true." Oh my God, who planted rice here, isn't it afraid of being stolen? The Huns gave seeds? Didn't the rebels come to collect it? ”

Fu Hong also squatted over, "Now the rice is not ripe, but in a few days, the leaves will be even more yellow, even if they are not ripe, someone will come to steal them, why is there no farmer to take care of it?" ”

Fu Yong felt that the ear of rice they were squatting at was longer than the one they planted in the mountains, and there seemed to be more rice on it, and he looked at the whole field again, and found that the rice grew very well, about two fingers higher than the height they planted in the mountains, and it was scattered, and the rows were very beautiful.

Fu Yong raised his eyes and saw that from this section down, there were paddy fields along the canal, and the fields were all rice, and there was no farmer, but there was a quiet and reassuring feeling.

Fu Yong became short of breath, and immediately picked up the burden and said: "The front is either a big village, or a township or a county seat, hurry up." ”

Everyone hurried to the road, and passed two paths in the middle, and they looked in along the paths and vaguely saw the houses of the village.

But instead of approaching, they chose to move on, and gradually, they saw the city walls.

Fu Yong looked left and right, and saw that there was a small hill on the right hand side in front of him, and the small hill was full of trees, and he could see at a glance that this small hill divided the road out of the city in two, and the two official roads on the left and right could go to different places, and there must be a long pavilion for farewell.

You can hide on the mountain, and there are many tourists in the pavilion, so you can inquire about the news there, so Fu Yong took everyone to the hill.
