Chapter VII Testing
The two of them turned their heads to look, and saw the cheap father leaning over, his expression was gloomy, and he said: "This range is the area south of the five ridges of Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge and Da Yu Ridge.
The weather over there is hot, and all kinds of poisonous insects, miasma, swamp parasites, and other things are difficult to prevent, and I am afraid that many people will die here.
In addition, we northerners will definitely not adapt to the water and soil, and the living conditions there are bad, we can't eat, drink, live well, and the doctors are almost nothing, and many people die without the amnesty.
Besides, our exiles will always be slaves in the future, and even if the emperor grants amnesty to the world, it will not be our turn.
Moreover, even if they survive there, each person has to plant 20 acres of land and pay 90% to the military, where can they do it, and there are so many people who die of exhaustion and starvation. Eh......"
After speaking, Lu Wen, who felt that the second half of his life was bleak, also sighed deeply.
Lu Tao was also stunned after hearing this, it turned out that this Lingnan region covers the current Liangguang, Hainan, Fujian Quan, Zhangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it is not as prosperous as later generations, and it is still a primeval forest.
Living in the primeval forest, the difficulty can be imagined, think about the survival of Bei Ye in the wild in peacetime, the difficulty is daunting, that is still in modern times.
And they are now in ancient times, and if they want to live in the primeval forest, it is tantamount to looking for death!
Thinking of this, Lu Tao looked at the sky speechlessly, fortunately, fortunately, his own space followed, otherwise...... I really begged to die in the wilderness.
"How does Doudou feel?" At this moment, an old voice came, the same one that had been heard when he was unconscious before.
Lu Tao reflexively spoke: "I'm fine." ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
Lu Yang nodded, turned around and asked Liu about baby Lu Qi, probably because Lu Qi's breathing was much stronger, and Liu's previous depression was also swept away, with a slight smile on his expression.
Lu Yang also smiled, touched the child's face, and then leaned on the old man Lu and fell asleep deeply.
After a day's journey, everyone was tired, and most of them rested and slept against the wall.
Lu Wenyi looked at the official errand and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Lu Tao leaned over and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
"Eh," Lu Wenyi sighed lightly and whispered: "The temperature in the mountains changes greatly, it should be cold in a while, there is no fire, I don't know how to live." Even in the temple, it can't stand the temperature. ”
Hearing this, Lu Tao's face became ugly.
The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is very large, especially the deep mountains and old forests where they stay, roasting stoves during the day, dripping into ice at night, such a sudden drop in temperature, unbearable, can die in an instant.
What's more, the Lu family is old, small, and not good, and there are several brothers of her cheap father, those children and old people look worse than her family.
There are a lot of things in her space to keep out the cold, and she wants to take them, but the prison clothes everyone wears are white, and although they are dirty, they still can't be covered.
What to do? If they can't find anything to keep out the cold, the two old men may be ...... tonight
"Dad, can you tell the official messenger, let's go out and find some firewood." Lu Xun (the third son in the third room) came over and whispered: "Otherwise, it will be cold at night and I won't be able to sleep." "I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I will never be able to get up.
"Well, I ......"
"I'll go." Lu Tao said, and ran over without waiting for her family to agree, just as she wanted to test whether her thunder ability came with her, and it was best to go out.
And children are easy to win the favor of adults, as long as she pretends to be cute and has a soft tone, it is definitely very useful to adults.
Sure enough, when several officials saw such a little radish head running over, they didn't scold or draw their knives, they just looked at her suspiciously, and the older one smiled gently: "Little doll, what are you doing here?" We don't have anything to eat. ”
Lu Tao shook his head, tried his best to soften his voice, and said softly: "Grandpa, it's cold at night, my brothers and I will go and pick up some firewood for you, okay?" ”
"Oh?!" When several officials heard this, they looked at each other, and immediately laughed, and the older officials reached out and rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, you and your brothers should go and pick up more." ”
"Well, thank you grandpa, thank you uncles." Glutinous thanks, and a burst of laughter and loving exhortations sounded, causing others to watch frequently.
Lu Tao turned around and ran to his family, the cute look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by coldness, sure enough, only children who pretended to be cute had candy to eat.
"Doudou, why did you run over if you didn't obey."
Liu Shi angrily pulled people to his side and looked up and down, just saw her running over, she was so frightened that she almost fainted, you know, some officials are even children......
"Mother, I'm fine." Lu Tao shook his head, turned to look at the cheap father, and said, "Dad, the official has allowed us to collect firewood, but we have to pick it up with theirs." ”
"Okay, I'll go with your two brothers, you wait here."
"What? Wen Yi, do you really want to go? Liu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and whispered: "It's dark this day, and it's still in the mountains, what if a beast comes?" ”
Lu Wen also sighed lightly: "Liu Niang, is it difficult to let my father and the children go?" ”
Hearing this, Liu's tone choked, pursed his lips, and said with some grievances: "I'm not worried about you." ”
"Okay mother," Seeing the woman's crying and aggrieved appearance, Lu Tao said directly: "The second brother and the third brother and I can just go, it's at the door, and the official didn't allow the adults to go." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu's opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he saw Lu Xun pulling Lu Xun (three rooms and three sons) and leaving, he didn't listen to her at all.
Lu Ziqi (third room and second son) glanced at her, didn't say anything, and followed them.
A few half-grown children left, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people hurriedly urged their children to keep up, anyway, they also heard the words of the official, and allowed the children to pick up firewood, so they were a little bolder.
The children will also look at people's faces, and when they saw that the official really didn't care, they trotted out and followed.
Seeing this, the chief official messenger motioned to the two officials and said, "Go over and watch, don't make a mess." ”
"Yes."
"You two, light the torches and plug them in, especially at the gate."
"Yes."
After the division of labor and cooperation, the head official stopped moving, he held the knife in his arms, leaned on the Buddha statue and began to rest.
Among the officials present, his force is the strongest, so he naturally has to bear the responsibility of protecting everyone, of course, this person is just an official.
In the ancient forests, the night was the most unpeaceful, with jackals, tigers, leopards, bears, and wild beasts.
Therefore, Lu Tao and the others did not go far, they were all looking for firewood within 50 meters of the temple.
The other children were collecting firewood, but Lu Tao walked to the side of the temple and raised his hand, ready to release his thunder ability.
