Chapter 13: Up the Mountain

The effect of the gourd water is really good, and seeing that Pei Jing can now stand up slowly by himself.

Su Yan walked over and helped him out of the ox cart.

Zhang cooks chestnut porridge. Su Yuan sat quietly on the side, peeling wild chestnuts and eating them.

Su Yan helped the person over.

"Mother, you put some chestnuts in the fire, bury them in the soil, and keep them for dry food at noon."

"Okay, how did you help the benefactor up? What if the wound bleeds again? Zhang was very nervous, and hurriedly stepped forward to help support Pei Jing.

"Auntie, I'm fine." Pei Jing's heart warmed.

"Sister, come and sit here!" Su Yuan immediately got up, revealing the big stone under his buttocks.

"I'm going to get some chestnuts!" He got up and walked over to the ox cart and took some chestnuts.

Su Yan slowly helped the person to sit down on the big rock.

"Su Yuan, you take more!" Su Yan picked up a stick and picked up some of the fire.

"Hey!" Su Yuan walked over with a bag of chestnuts in his clothes, "Sister, are these enough?" ”

Su Yan took the chestnuts and put them in and covered them with soil. "That's enough."

Pei Jing sat on the side and watched their sister and brother busy.

Seeing that someone was watching the fire, Zhang opened her only package and took out the half-finished shoes to make them.

Roche returned with his daughter carrying a bundle of firewood.

"Yikes! Can you get up so soon? Roche was amazed at Pei Jing's resilience.

Wu Jinlan looked at Pei Jing curiously.

This man is so good-looking!

"Brother Pei, this is Aunt Luo."

Pei Jing nodded. He was about to get up and salute.

Roche stepped forward and held him down, "Don't be so polite, you have a good rest." ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Pei Jing had no choice but to sit down.

Pei Jing sat there, although he was injured, his momentum did not decrease.

For a while, no one spoke. In the end, Pei Jing opened his mouth and asked: "Auntie, there are more bandits here, why did you come here?" ”

Luo sighed, "We are fleeing from the famine, I heard that there is water here, so we fled here, who knew that those bandits were so fierce!" ”

Pei Jing touched his nose uncomfortably. "I wonder what you're going to do next?"

Roche and Zhang shook their heads. For a moment, both fell silent.

"We want to find a place to live." Su Yan, she really didn't want to rush anymore.

"Brother Pei has a good proposal?"

He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yan, "Now all the city gates don't allow outsiders to enter." Your household registration is ......"

Su Yan understood in seconds that as soon as their identity and household registration were revealed, they would not be able to enter the city.

What kind of world is this? She has money in her pocket, and she can't go into the city to spend it.

Su Yan poked the stick in her hand to the ground to vent her dissatisfaction.

Pei Jing saw it in his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart about how to bring them to the village.

Being able to meet Su Yan again and be rescued by them made him feel an urge to keep her by his side.

At this point, the porridge is finally cooked.

Wu Qing's father and son came back with pheasants and rabbits in their hands.

The father and son looked at Pei Jing in surprise, they didn't expect this person to be able to stand up so quickly.

"This is Uncle Wu and Brother Wu, you have all seen it before, thanks to them last night." Su Yan threw away the stick in her hand and cheered up and introduced.

Pei Jing hurriedly stood up and thanked him, and then asked, "I don't know where you're going, uncle?" ”

Wu Qing frowned, their Wu clan didn't know how many people had escaped?

"We originally planned to go to the south, what is Pei Gongzi's proposal?" After thinking for a while, Wu Qing looked at Pei Jing.

"Uncle Wu just calls me Pei Jing, I do have a place to go."

"Oh? Where is it? Let's hear it. ”

At this time, Su Yan gave Pei Jing a bowl of chestnut porridge.

"Thank you, Miss Su." Pei Jing took the bowl. "It's in the middle of nowhere, but it's a place by the mountains and rivers."

"Far away?" Su Yan couldn't help but be curious.

"Climb over this hill and walk a little to the right." The soft and glutinous porridge enters with a fresh fragrance of chestnuts.

"That one seems to be Cen Ling, right?" Wu Qing also took a bowl of porridge and ate it.

"Well, there are mountains and rivers."

Su Yan looked at the others.

Wu Qing frowned, there were only a few of them, they couldn't travel alone anymore, it was not easy to escape here.

"There are many bandits in the mountains...... this is what worries him the most.

Pei Jing nodded, "The place I said is the village." ”

Wu Qing was taken aback, "Stockade!" That's not a bandit..."Nest? He didn't say the rest of the words.

Pei Jingjing nodded, "They are all desperate people, they easily don't do things like killing people and selling goods, Uncle Wu can rest assured." There is a locust plague going on in the south, and if you can get away with it from the bandits on the road, I'm afraid you'll ......."

This god really doesn't give people a way to live! But if they enter the bandits' den, and the officers and soldiers come to catch the bandits, then they must not be arrested as bandits?

The Luo family also looked at Wu Qing nervously, while Su Yan was thinking about the feasibility of this road.

"Then what if the officers and soldiers come up to arrest someone?" Wu Qing finally confided his worries.

Pei Jing smiled contemptuously, as if he was very disdainful of the officers and soldiers in Wu Qing's mouth, "Uncle Wu, you can rest assured, the parents and officials of Xinyang County can't catch the lice on their heads, and they don't have the energy to catch the bandits. ”

Wu Qing nodded, and Pei Jing continued: "The two villages of fierce tigers and flying leopards are full of evil, with them in front of us, we don't have to worry about the officers and soldiers, if it happens, we can also hide behind Cen Ling, and we won't be found anyway." ”

"Uncle Wu, why don't we go to Panlong Village! When the time comes, we will open two plots of land to plant, and we will be able to get by. Let's farm, if those officers and soldiers come up, they won't be able to arrest us! Su Yan was indeed thoughtful.

Pei Jing glanced at Su Yan, why did he always say that the officers and soldiers came up? Is my Panlongzhai so weak? I don't know if there is any place around this village that is suitable for clearing wasteland.

In the end, he searched all around the mountain, but could not find a suitable place. But his mouth echoed, "What Miss Su said is that Cen Ling is a big place, and she doesn't have to worry about having no land to plant." ”

Wu Qing listened to Su Yan's suggestion, and finally let go of the worries in his heart and decided to go up the mountain with Pei Jing.

Early the next morning, after everyone cleaned up, they set off towards Panlong Village.

They walked for three days before they got out of the mountain.

Pei Jing's injuries were also completely healed, and he was shocked in his heart, what kind of medicine did this give him?

He had already lost a lot of blood before he fell unconscious, but now he didn't feel the slightest weakness.

Although he was curious, he didn't ask.

Su Yan also stopped giving Pei Jing gourd water these days, because he recovered too quickly.

On the way, I met a group of bandits, more than 20 people, all of whom were beaten by Pei Jing alone.

But Pei Jing felt that his strength was greater.

Passing through the mountains, you will see a large flat wasteland, and the weeds on the side of the road grow as tall as a man.

There was a small road on the right, and Wu Qing, under Pei Jing's prompting, drove the ox cart into the path.

After walking for more than an hour, they came to the foot of a mountain.

In the past few days, Pei Jing's injuries have also healed, and most of the bags of grain and two bags of wild chestnuts have almost bottomed out. Su Yan didn't want to see chestnuts anymore.

The ox cart could not be pulled, so the cart had to be dismantled, and the oxen were pulled around the mountain path.

The mountains are shaded by the trees, and a few birdsongs can occasionally be heard in the deep forest.

They walked on the mountain paths, the blazing sun was obscured by the shadows of the trees, and the wind in the mountains brought coolness.

Several people walked for more than an hour before they reached the gate of the stockade near the top of the mountain.

Wu Qing and the others looked at the gate of the stockade in shock.

The surface of the gate was covered with a layer of iron, and on both sides of the gate was a wall made of huge stones, and there were many thorns planted on the outside of the wall, so that the inside of the village could not be seen at all.
