Chapter 25: Hiding in the Mountains and Forests

Zhang pursed his lips, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Jingluo, your words are indeed very reasonable, my mother really grew wise today!" If a similar situation happens in the future, I will definitely think clearly before making a decision. ”

Feng Yongsheng beside him also bowed slightly, thinking that Xu Jingluo was really smart, and at a young age, his mind was sometimes much better than that of an experienced adult.

"Mother, this matter has been turned over, don't think about it anymore. Let's go back to the car and rest! ”

Xu Jingling took Runtian and Yi Bao, took Zhang's arm, and comforted softly.

"Uh-huh." Zhang nodded, looked at Feng Yongsheng and the others with tears in his eyes, and said: "You have to help, otherwise, I am afraid that our family's food will not be able to be recovered, and I have nothing to repay, so I can only thank you here in advance." ”

When Feng Yongsheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Madame doesn't need to see outside, we live in a Zhuangzi, and there is nothing to thank you for." ”

Hearing this, Zhang nodded and bowed to him.

Feng Yongsheng came to Xu Jingluo, and said with a little bit in his tone: "Miss Xu, since this matter has come to an end, you better hurry up and hurry over, don't fall behind the team anymore, if something else happens, we can't catch up, then it's bad!" ”

Xu Jingluo responded and ordered Xu Jingan and Mama Cao to catch the car, but she did not get into the car herself, but walked with Feng Yongsheng and others.

The villagers walked forward with their feet raised, and chatted with apprehension.

"As far as the situation is concerned, there are still many people who have lost all their supplies as a result of that heavy rain. As the so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, they have nothing, I am afraid that they will take risks, steal and cheat, and become our hidden dangers in the future! ”

"That's right, according to my meaning, from now on, our carriage should not rush to the main road, lest it be too ostentatious and coveted."

"Having said that, if we don't take the main road, it will be difficult for our cars to pass, and if we take one after another, I am afraid that the time on this road will be delayed for too long!"

Xu Jingluo interjected at this time: "Actually, I also agree with taking the path, we can put things on the mule cart, and the horse pulling the cart will write it down and use it to drag things." ”

Feng Yongsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do what Miss Xu said!" Write down the horses and head down the trail to avoid any more accidents with those refugees! ”

After a short time, everyone drove the cart and horses back on, turned into the narrow road at the southwest corner, and drove forward with a bump.

Although Runtian and Cestbon are still children less than ten years old, because they usually climb mountains and dig wild vegetables, their foot strength is not bad, and their pace is not much slower than that of adults.

However, Zhang and Xu Jingling were so tired and sweaty that they were exhausted, leaning against a tree with crooked necks, gasping for breath and beating their legs.

After a short break, we continued on our way.

As soon as it was dark, everyone learned the lesson of the last time, found a high slope on high ground, and camped on the spot, preparing to rest here at night.

Xu Jingluo's family also divided the labor, Xu Jingan was responsible for building the stove, Cuiying and Mama Cao were one to light the fire, and the other was responsible for stir-frying.

And Xu Jingluo, carrying everyone on his back, went to the carry-on space, spent 20 yuan to buy a box of plaster, and pasted it on the knee that was accidentally broken on the road between Zhang and Xu Jingling.

Looking at Runtian and Yi Bao, who were chasing and laughing, Xu Jingling lowered his head with some self-reproach, and said to Xu Jingluo: "Fourth sister, I'm so embarrassed, I can't stand walking such a little way, hey..."

When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, in the past in the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, where did we go, either by a soft sedan chair or by a carriage, and we never walked the road. Until now, I realized that it is really not easy to travel on foot! ”

Xu Jingluo said with a smile: "Sister, mother, if you can think like this, you can be regarded as benefiting a lot." Now, although we will continue to go into exile, when our whole family settles down and makes a fortune together with our hard-working hands, we will not have to live such a hard life! ”

When Xu Jingling and Zhang's heard this, they immediately turned their sorrows into joy, looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became active again.

After dinner, night had completely fallen.

Xu Jingluo looked up and saw a few stars hanging on the ground in the cold night sky, and there was no trace of the full moon, but he felt that this lonely night was also very wonderful.

Everyone threw their futons on the grass, and was just about to lie down to sleep, when they suddenly found that there was a team in the capital, holding a large number of torches, which looked like a meandering fire dragon, and shouted at the same time.

When the people saw this, they were all taken aback, and they immediately exploded and talked about it.

"The Northern Liang army has entered the capital, and our Southern Zhou is really going to perish now! Thankfully, we've escaped! ”

"Ahh How's that to be? Although we ran out, we didn't run out of the Southern Zhou border, and maybe the Northern Liang soldiers would soon be captured as slaves! ”

If the Northern Liang soldiers found that there was no one in the city, they would definitely send a large number of men out of the city to arrest the refugees who had fled from the Southern Zhou.

What's more, this place is not far from the capital, and if the Northern Liang soldiers want to capture them, it is as simple as probing for something.

"Thankfully, we've changed to the trail." Feng Yongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter how you say it, there are fewer dangers on the road, and the soldiers of Beiliang are not so easy to catch us!" If it's really a last resort, let's just hide in the mountains and old forests and play hide and seek with them! ”

"However, if there are tigers, leopards and jackals in the mountains and forests, and we will run out of food and water sooner or later, what will we do then?" When everyone heard the end, they couldn't help but frown.

Feng Yongsheng's face was very solemn, and he said faintly: "Compared with fierce beasts, for us homeless people, compared to tigers, leopards, jackals, lack of food and water, the soldiers of the Northern Liang are more and more frightening, right?" If we fall into their hands, we will be tortured and life will be worse than death! ”

Everyone thought his words were very reasonable, and they all agreed in unison.

"In that case, we will prepare to set out this evening, and we will be able to enter the foot of the great mountain almost the next day."

Although everyone was exhausted, the thought that the soldiers of the Northern Liang would come to arrest them at any time, there was a stone hanging in their hearts, so they could only forcibly cheer up and continue to flee!

When she was about to leave, Qian Yulan said to Xu Jingluo considerately: "Miss Xu, why don't you bring the items stacked on your mule cart to our car, so that your mother and your sister can sit in the car with Runtian and Yi Bao, so as to save too much hard walking." ”

Before Xu Jingluo could answer, Zhang immediately waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, let's just walk by ourselves, it's not hard!" ”

Xu Jingling followed with a smile and echoed: "Yes, there is Aunt Lao Qian who cares, and we are willing to walk." Also, walking helps you keep fit, and you can enjoy the scenery around you, which is pretty good! ”
