Chapter 245: Withering Before You Have Time to Grow

I actually asked why!

Yang Shuang's heart surged up a little bit of strength, he laboriously carried the woman from the house to the outside of the alley, and then said to her:

"You wait here for a while, I'll take a look, and I'll take you out of here."

"Do you have anything to take with you at home? I'll call someone to clean up for you. ”

The woman's eyes were like water, and tears fell like rain in an instant, and then she shook her head weakly:

"At home...... Father and aunt went out on the street that day, it should be ...... It should be dead......"

"I hid in the cellar for days before I dared to come out and look for them, but not only did I not find them, but I was bitten on the leg by insects......"

"The people's daughter only has one cheap life left, so it is better for the general to give me a good death, so that I can reunite with my father and mother......"

Hearing this, Yang Shuang sour his nose and eyes:

"God has let you live, and your father and mother will want you to live."

"God told me that there must be living people in Yanzhou, so I came from Zhaozhou."

"If you travel hundreds of miles, just to give you a good death, I ...... I might as well not come. ”

After saying that, Yang Shuang raised his elbow and wiped his eyes, and softly reassured her, "I'll leave when I come back", and hurriedly walked towards the east.

Yang Shuang kicked open the simple wooden door from house to house, and every time he saw an empty rice bowl, he neatly moved the rice bowl open, and lifted the wooden plank on the ground that was almost identical to the cellar door and looked almost exactly the same as the rammed earth.

It's a pity that every time I open it, what responds to Yang Shuang is the rancid smell that comes out of the pungent nose from the inside.

The people who hid in the cellar earlier did not dare to come out, so they could only die in despair in the cellar.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself on, and kicked open a few more wooden doors, and the response of each household to him was the same.

Until he kicked open more than 20 wooden doors, his legs hurt, and a lane reached the end again, he moved the rice jar and opened the ground door without any hope.

The smell coming from the cellar is still pungent, but it's not the smell of rotting corpses, but the smell of feces and urine?

"Is anyone there?" "Smelling" the smell of living people's survival, Yang Shuang's mind was cleared for three points, and he tentatively asked in the dark cellar:

"I am from Zhou, and Zhou is kind to the homeless......"

"Ahem......"

Suddenly, there was a bad coughing sound inside, which showed that it was also because he had been hiding in the hellish Yanzhou for too long, and it was difficult to avoid being infected by the epidemic.

"The people of Zhou actually came to Qi country...... It seems that the country of Qi is really finished......"

In the dark cellar, a weak man's voice came out first, and then, it seemed to be deliberately suppressing the cough, and finally couldn't hold it down at the moment, and several coughs of different voices came out one after another.

Yang Shuang knew that they were frightened by the Turkic barbarians, and it was difficult to trust anyone:

"Come out quickly, I won't harm you, if you are sick, Zhou Guo still has a doctor who can cure the disease."

……

At the end of the day, Yang Shuang found twelve survivors, seven of whom were half-grown children who were frightened and couldn't even speak.

In addition, there is the woman, and there is a rare survivor of a family of three.

Yang Shuang decided to take them to Hengzhou, and went to Shengle County, the border county of Zhou State, and if a war horse carried two people, they could reach Shengle in two hours at most.

The woman cowered and trembled, Yang Shuang helped her onto the horse, and then drove the horse with her, trying to go all the way to the east as smoothly as possible.

Along the way, I don't know whether to loosen the tense nerves, or why, the woman fell into a coma from time to time, and she needed Yang Shuang to stabilize her with great difficulty so as not to make her fall off the horse.

From time to time, when she was sober, Yang Shuang pretended to be relaxed and always talked to her:

"I'll be able to arrive in Shengle County in just over an hour, I don't know what to call you?"

The woman hung her head weakly, as if unconsciously responding:

"Sheng Le...... Let's call it Shengle, Minnu...... Shaw. ”

At the beginning, Yang Shuang didn't realize what it meant, but then she realized that she didn't have a name.

"Xiao Shengle, it's very good," Yang Shuang smiled awkwardly:

"When we get to Shengle, after you and I are cured, I will go back to Chang'an, you can go to Chang'an with me."

"Chang'an is very prosperous, there are one hundred and nine square streets, in addition to the forest of restaurants, shops, there are also places to enjoy the flowers, scenery and lake, very beautiful, you must want to see."

Yang Shuang said a lot of words, and for some reason, he had several different inexplicable feelings in his heart.

For this woman, he not only had an inexplicable feeling of tugging at his heartstrings, but also had an inexplicable repressive premonition for her weak and sick body.

But I inexplicably hoped that she could hold on until she arrived at Shengle.

"Chang'an...... It should be a good place......" On the back of the bumpy horse, the woman replied weakly.

"Of course it's a good place, Chang'an is the capital of Zhou, and it used to be called Yongzhou."

"If you want to go to Chang'an to have a look, I can take you with me when I go back to Chang'an."

"By the way, my sister-in-law is still a fourth-grade official in the palace, in our Zhou Kingdom, women can often be admitted to the official, which is completely different from the Qi Kingdom."

"I was raised by my sister-in-law since I was a child, and I always thought my sister-in-law was very powerful! I am not surprised that she can enter the palace as an official. ”

Between these words, the prosperity of the Shangyuan feast at the beginning of the year, one scene after another, just inexplicably, the scene was prosperous and lively, silent, and covered with a layer of old yellow.

It seems like it was a long time ago, but it was obviously half a year ago.

"Well, if you can, the folk girl has ...... luck"

As Xiao Shi spoke, her weak thin neck was inexplicably tilted to the left, and her body was slumped in front of Yang Shuang, and her whole body had to be supported by Yang Shuang to stabilize and prevent her from falling off the horse.

At this moment, the suppressed premonition began to permeate, Yang Shuang called her loudly a few times, but she was still paralyzed and did not respond, he had to stop the horse.

As soon as the horse came to a stop, the woman slid softly off the horse's back like a boneless leaf.

Yang Shuang dismounted with great difficulty and hugged her, still wondering in his heart why this weak body suddenly became heavier.

But two fingers probed into his snort, but only to notice this snort, only the hot air that came out, but not the cool air that breathed in.

"General, why did you stop?"

Several soldiers who were walking behind also stepped off their horses, and after an inquiry, they also subconsciously reached out to probe the woman's snort.

Then, there was only a silent silence that surrounded the surroundings, and even the passing wind was silent.

"I finally escaped from Yanzhou, how can I ......?"

Yang Shuang's vision blurred again, and a weak sour feeling gushed out of his nose.

After staring at the woman's inexplicable, dusty but cold white face, Yang Shuang raised his eyes and looked around, and pushed the woman onto the horse with great difficulty again.

"General, people have ......"

"It's not good to leave it here," Yang Shuang paused and said decisively:

"Take it to Sheng Le for burial, she said her name is Sheng Le, Xiao Shengle."
