134 - Lujia Village
"Further on is Zhongshan, after which we will walk for about ten days, and we will reach our territory. Master Yao, you have worked hard along the way."
On the carriage moving quietly, Yao Yu was wrapped in a thick leather jacket, and even so, he shivered coldly.
Seeing this, Lianghu, who was talking next to him, took the initiative to shut up, took off his leather jacket and handed it to Yao Yu.
Yao Yu wanted to be polite, but it was too cold.
Although he is from the north, the problem is that before the crossing, there was air conditioning and floor heating.
It's like now, in the wild, it's freezing cold, and there is no wall to shelter from the wind and rain.
"I said, it's really not good, let's find a place to stay for the night, you look at the cloudy sky, there must be heavy snow at night, in such a cold day, it's still snowing, you have to freeze me to death."
When Liang Hu heard this, his face showed embarrassment: "But Lord Yao, this is not our sphere of influence. If you stay here, there's no guarantee that something will happen. If the money is robbed, it will be a big problem."
Yao Yu waved his hand: "That's okay, just find a village to spend the night first." Give more money. I can't go any longer, it's not you who are emotionally frozen."
Lianghu was even more embarrassed, he was really afraid that the money and food would be robbed. Give more money and food, who doesn't know that the people in the north are fierce, if you see this money and food, what if you have a bad heart?
As if he saw what Lianghu was thinking, Yao Yu sneezed and said, "You have more than 200 followers, what is there to be afraid of. Even if the local people want to get rich, it's not that you can't protect yourself."
With Yao Yu saying this, Lianghu knew that there was no point in holding on any longer.
You can't really ignore Yao Yu.
Besides, people come with sincerity and sincerely make friends with Tuoba Xianbei.
Thinking of this, Lianghu only sighed faintly, and ordered his subordinates to hurry to the place where there was a village in front of him to rest for the time being.
In this way, the convoy moved forward, and when it was almost dark, it finally saw a village.
It's just a catastrophe, this village called Lujia Village is so dilapidated and desolate at this time, overgrown with weeds, and the stone tablets next to the road are buried.
This is not the first such village along the way.
You must know that after eight years of war in the north, the people were displaced, and how many people were forced to move south as refugees because of famine.
It was Lianghu who breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the barren Lujia Village.
That's okay, it's safer if no one is around.
Thinking of this, Lianghu ordered his men to push the convoy into the village, and asked his followers to tie up their horses and prepare to rest.
Looking at Yao Yu again, it was also the first time the convoy stopped, and he found a relatively intact civilian residence, and when the fire broke out, Yao Yu's face showed a harmonious expression.
It's better to be warmer.
Yao Bao carried the phoenix wings and gold pistol to inspect it, and finally came to Yao Yu, and said with a puzzled face, "Brother, I feel a little strange in this room. Isn't it too clean?"
Yao Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, you have to be haunted if it's not clean?"
"Not brother, I mean the house is clean and like it's inhabited."
Hearing this, Yao Yuleng paused, got up and took a torch to look left and right. Isn't it, it's too clean.
Although there is dust in the furniture and something, the accumulation of dust is a thin layer, and it is clear that this place has been cleaned not long ago.
Thinking of this, Yao Yu's brows twisted into a pimple.
The village is in ruins and desolate like this, how can anyone come back to clean it?
Moreover, in a radius of 100 miles, except for some mountain peaks, it doesn't look like there are any people.
Unable to figure it out in his heart, Yao Yu instructed Yao Bao, "In short, be careful, don't sleep too much at night. It's probably not a peaceful place."
Yao Bao nodded and agreed, and kept the phoenix wings gilded by his side.
Man Kuang, who came in from fetching water from outside, saw this situation when he entered the door, and immediately asked curiously what was going on.
As soon as the two of them said something, Man Kuang snorted, his face full of embarrassment: "What kind of adult, when I came here with Shen Cheng before, I stayed in this place for one night."
Yao Yu: "...
Yao Bao suddenly realized at this time, and sighed: "The relationship has been troublesome for a long time, you and Shen Cheng have lived, so it's okay."
As he spoke, he put down the phoenix wings and gold pistol, took the hot water from Man Kuang's hand and handed it to Yao Yu to wash.
Yao Yu said thank you, but in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong.
It's just that he doesn't know what the problem is for a while.
After thinking about it, he didn't understand, Yao Yu also gave up and began to wash.
After eating the food sent by Lianghu and the others, the group stayed in several nearby courtyards.
At night, everything is silent, except for the sound of the cold wind passing through the village.
Just like Yao Yu said, in the sky, it snowed heavily.
In a matter of moments, the entire village was dyed silvery.
The wind blew open the door, the cold wind poured in, and Yao Yu was directly frozen awake.
He rolled over and sat up, rubbing his shoulders and sneezing, muttering about throwing the coal bricks from Lin Lai into the fire to keep warm.
Suddenly, he heard some movement in the wind outside the door.
It creaked, like someone was stepping on snow.
And listening to the movement, it is not one or two people, but there are twenty or thirty people. It's not like someone getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
What's the situation, did Lianghu arrange so many people to patrol the night?
Doubting in his heart, Yao Yu couldn't sleep.
Originally, he was uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Now, hearing the movement, Yao Yu simply stopped sleeping, picked up a padded jacket from the ground and draped it on his body, held the ring head knife in his hand, and went out to observe.
He followed the sound all the way to find it, and soon, he determined the source of the sound.
It's from the yard next door.
Next door lived Lianghu and his entourage, and there was also a convoy of money and grain.
No, Yao Yu listened to this movement and wondered if Lianghu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to run away, and was unwilling to take himself to Tuoba Yilu.
Immediately, he ducked his head and quietly came to the courtyard wall.
The rammed courtyard wall was not very high, and it was more than a meter in total, and Yao Yu could see what was happening in the courtyard next door with a slight tiptoe.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
But I saw that in the front of the convoy placed in the courtyard next door, I don't know when there were more than 20 more beggars in rags.
In the winter, it was snowing, and they simply dressed in thin linen clothes, and although these people looked quite tall, they were as hungry as bamboo poles.
The men gathered around the convoy of food and rejoiced, especially the leader, who was a meter tall and had a weapon that looked like an axe.
