Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Escape from the Destruction of the City

The atmosphere in the courtyard of the Xu family was very gloomy, and at this time, three ox carts were driving quickly from the entrance of the village.

The other two ox carts were found by Zhao Jin, Xu Wen's classmate in the county seat, whose family had a slight asset and a grange in the suburbs.

Zhuangzi has been cultivating land for a long time, so there are two cows, so Xu Wen and the three of them looked for Zhao Jin as soon as they entered the city, and Zhao Jin's family was also preparing to go to the south.

He had a carriage at home, so he gave the ox cart to the Xu family, and Xu Wen persuaded him to accept thirty taels of silver.

In addition to Xu Wen and Lin Hu, there were also Chen Sihuai, who had just moved to the village for more than two years.

When Chen Sihuai came to Nanyun Village, he brought a five-year-old grandson, Chen Siyuan, with him, and it has been almost three years.

The expressions on the faces of the three of them were not good, and when they arrived at the door of Xu's house, Xu Wen thanked Chen Sihuai.

"Thanks to Uncle Chen for helping us catch the car back today, next time ...... I have free time to come to the house and drink with my father. ”

Xu Wen paused when he said next time, and next time, they didn't know where to settle down, Chen Sihuai waved his hand.

"It's not a big deal, there is always a chance to drink, and what we need to do now is to tell the village about the situation in the county as soon as possible."

After Chen Sihuai finished speaking, he said goodbye to the two and left, Xu Wen let Lin Hu into the courtyard and informed his family of the situation in the city, and he hurried to the village chief's house.

When Xu Danian heard the news that the barbarians had broken through Hanshan Pass last night, and that Zhu Kui, the general of the border area, had led the army to retreat to Yuzhong County, he couldn't stand still, so he could only urge his family to pack up his things and run to inform the people in the village.

Yuzhong County, as the county closest to Hanshan Pass, was built as impregnable as Hanshan Pass, but it could not withstand the menacing barbarian army.

After Yuzhong County is Nanyun County, that is, now that the enemy is almost in front of him, Xu Danian went door-to-door to inform Shen Shizhong (around four o'clock in the afternoon) to gather under the big banyan tree and set off.

The barbarians are about to fight, and they are hungry barbarians who can eat people.

In the past few hundred years of battles, there has not been a time when the barbarians broke the city and settled the people of other countries well.

Most of them were killed by men, and women and children were taken captive, and they never ended well.

After a while, most of the families in the village were ready, and they all stood under the big banyan tree and waited for departure, and everyone had sadness and fear on their faces.

Sorrow wants to leave the place where I grew up, afraid of the difficulties ahead, afraid of dying in a foreign land.

Even the children who usually love to laugh and make trouble feel this different atmosphere, and they are quietly clinging to their parents.

"Hey, let's go, let's go, don't look at it, as long as our family is neat, no matter where we go, there will still be a home in the house."

Before leaving, the Zhang family stood at the gate, their eyes were red and reluctant, and Xu Yunjin also stood silently beside Xu Yunmeng and held his sister's hand.

The people next to him didn't feel good in their hearts, but in the end, it was Old Man Xu who sighed and stepped forward to persuade the old lady away, and the door of Xu's house was locked.

After the group packed up, they drove the ox cart and pushed the wooden cart to the entrance of the village, and the village was almost all together.

By the end of Shen Shi, all the talents of Nanyun Village had gathered under the big banyan tree, and many old people and women cried before leaving.

Xu Yunjin was also uncomfortable, but she couldn't change the status quo now.

Then Xu Danian sent a message and set off, and everyone in Nanyun Village started their journey to the south under the scorching sun.

The night before, a few old people in the village had discussed the route to the south, and the official road was definitely not to be taken.

If Yuzhong County and Nanyun County can't hold it, the barbarians will definitely search for the people along the official road, so they can only take the mountain road now.

As long as they pass through the Nanyun Mountain Range, they can walk out of Nanyun County and reach Anyi County behind.

Walking south from the trail of Anyi County, and then passing through Dafang, Changzhong, Xinyi, and Fengqing counties, you can walk to the boundary of Annan Fucheng.

This route was proposed by Chen Sihuai, according to him, he used to be a dart master, often going from south to north, walking through many places, and the road is relatively familiar.

The river next to Namun Village is also called Gohe because it is the smallest of the five tributaries of the Namun Mountain Range, and many families live on both sides of the Namun Mountains.

The people of Nanyun Village walked along the river, and they tried their best to notify the villages they could notify, and left the rest to them to make their own decisions.

The first half of the road up the mountain along the river was trampled by people who had gone up the mountain to hunt and collect firewood all year round, and the road was not so difficult to walk, and the young and middle-aged people of the village surrounded the old and weak women and children and the people pushing carts.

The peasants, who work all year round, walked fast, but the people who dragged their families and their families still walked for more than an hour to reach the area they had not usually set foot in.

In the middle of July, it doesn't get dark until 8 o'clock, and it is still an hour before it is completely dark, so you can't spend the night in the mountains, and the second half of the journey is usually rarely visited, and the closer you get to the mountains, the more dangerous it is.

"Everyone hurry up, don't drag, the children who can't walk are put in the basket or put on their own carts, the road ahead is not easy to walk, while the sky is still bright, we must cross the top of the mountain as soon as possible, to the safety of the other side of the mountain and rest."

Xu Danian and Old Man Xu, who were walking in front, saw that it was not early, discussed it, and called a few families in the village that still had surplus labor and asked them to go ahead and open the way.

Chen Sihuai also left Chen Siyuan in the Xu family's team and went forward to open the way, after all, among these people, only he had some kung fu with his fists and feet.

He only has one grandson and does not have many belongings, so after the grain cart is handed over to the villagers, he takes the young adults of the village to open the road in front.

Xu Yunjin did not walk in the Xu family's team, but walked with Luo Xianglan, the granddaughter of Old Man Luo.

The Luo family only has three grandsons and grandsons, 7-year-old Luo Tiandong and Luo Xianglan are dragon and phoenix fetuses.

My mother died not long after she was injured when she gave birth to two people.

The father of the two also died when the brother and sister were two or three years old, and they were injured and died, and since then only the three grandchildren of the Luo family have depended on each other.

Xu Yunjin had a lot of contact with Luo Xianglan because of his medical studies with Mr. Luo, and the two grew up together, so Luo Xianglan was Xu Yunjin's first good sister in another world.

"Wolan, how are you, can you still keep walking, I'll help you carry the basket."

Luo Xianglan has been in her mother's womb for too long, so her body has not been as good as Luo Tiandong since she was born, and it has improved over the years thanks to Xu Yunjin teaching her to do Tai Chi to exercise her body.

But it's been so long, her body must be almost unable to hold on, take Luo Xianglan's back basket, Xu Yunjin easily carried it on her back.

"I'm fine, thank you Ah Jin."

"Hey, let's say thank you, if you really can't hold on, you can tell us, and then go to my car and sit, but don't hold on."

Luo Xianglan smiled at Xu Yunjin with a slightly pale face, Xu Yunjin was really worried that Luo Xianglan's body would not be able to bear it this way, and some of the medicinal materials he prepared were actually prepared for her.

Zhang's family can also enjoy the blessings of their children and grandchildren, they don't have to carry a basket or push a cart, they just hold a small basket in their hands.

It was prepared for her by Xu Yunjin, which was filled with a small bamboo tube of water and a fan, and walked next to Grandma Chunhua and gossiped with Grandma Chunhua as she walked.

"Hey, when I was young, I didn't say to go out for a walk, I came to experience this when I was old, and God didn't give us poor people a way to live."

"Isn't it, I don't know when we will be able to get to the south, although the children in the family are all strong laborers, and the belongings are all held, and the road is quite light, but half of the children eat the poor old man, and there is not much surplus food at home, so I don't know how long it will last."

Grandma Chunhua is a neighbor of the Xu family, and after being widowed in the early years, she raised her three sons alone, and she is very close to the Zhang family, who seems to be gentle and kind, but is actually neat and spicy.

The relationship between the two families is very good, Grandma Chunhua's family has three sons, five grandsons and two granddaughters, and a large family will consume a lot of food to save a day.

"Who said no, isn't it the same in our family, looking at a few ox carts, in fact, there is not much food, I hope to go south, and some wild vegetables can grow on the ground, otherwise I don't know how to live without water and food."

The two old ladies are worried, in fact, they are not unreasonable, after all, the current situation is grim, and the number of victims going south will only increase.

If it doesn't rain, the most serious drinking water problems won't be solved, and I don't know what to do in the days to come.
