Chapter 66: Into the Northwest
Su Yanneng followed, and his heart was already happy, and he could finally be with Brother Murong.
Su Yue walked on Murong Li's left hand, Su Yan walked on Murong Li's right, peeking at him from time to time, and the love in his eyes that couldn't be dissolved was about to drown him.
It's a pity that Murong didn't notice anything about the wood, and smiled lightly and followed Su Yue's gaze.
The group turned a street, and Su Yue bought some vegetable seeds, grain seeds, and dozens of water bladders, and a large wooden bucket for water, the kind that can hold two or three hundred catties of water.
Entering the northwest, not only food, but also water is indispensable.
Su Yue bought a lot of grain seeds, and they all want to farm in the future, how can they plant without seeds?
In fact, the grain here is the grain that the peasants have just collected and sold, and some of the grain they collect is paid in taxes, and they keep the grain for the next year, and the rest is very small for themselves to eat, and the rest is sold.
The money from the sale is used to buy supplies for the winter or to exchange for cheaper food to eat.
Su Yue bought the part they sold.
In addition, Caixia bought some things for girls' families, and Su Yan only bought some hair flowers for little girls.
As for Su Yue, there are many things for girls in the space, so she doesn't have to buy them.
When the shops were almost closed, everyone went back happily.
The night was peaceful, and the next morning the team set off northwest.
Everyone had food, a carriage, and the journey was faster.
Five days later, the team was slowly approaching the northwest edge, and the scene was gradually starting to depress.
Although the weather is no longer so hot and it is beginning to turn into autumn, the weather here is still dry and muggy, and it is difficult to see rivers with water.
The trees on the mountain are wilted and lifeless.
When some people saw this situation, they were extremely sad, this has not entered the northwest region, it is all like this, what kind of situation is it when they really go to the northwest?
Many of them began to waver, knowing that the exile was actually out of their hands, and they were thinking of another way out.
Moreover, on the road at this time, there were people fleeing the desert one after another dragging their families in the direction of the capital.
They were yellow-skinned and skinny, more like exiles than their exiles.
When a few families saw this, they found Zhang Ling, but they were reluctant to go any further.
Zhang Ling had no choice but to ask Su Yue and Murong Li, and the two immediately agreed, it was okay if those families didn't want to follow.
It's just that those households don't count as reaching their destination, and they can only figure out how to solve the household registration problem.
Thinking that there was no shortage of silver on those families, they had the idea of leaving the team, after all, as long as there was silver, they could find a way.
Besides, in the northwest, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who will take care of those insignificant exiles.
And after Qin and Zhang completely surrendered to Murong Li and Su Yue, they couldn't wait to throw away those hot potatoes.
In the end, the Su family, the Yun family, and the Xie family were left, and dozens of messengers, adding up to a small number of people.
After another three days, we have almost entered the northwest region, and we only see the endless desert, a few old trees scattered on the desert, and a few leaves on the trees fluttering in the wind, which seems to be so vicissitudes.
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts were cold.
At this time, a large number of displaced people can be seen.
Seeing such a large contingent of outcasts, and the servants with swords, no one dared to come forward.
In the afternoon of the same day, when they entered the northwest region for dozens of miles, the team prepared to set up camp and cook on the fire.
Unexpectedly, before they could start lighting a fire and cooking, a group of fleeing teams rushed up and surrounded their team.
With a wave of their hands, Leader Qin and Leader Zhang drew their knives with the messengers and rushed to the leader of the fleeing team.
Leader Qin shouted: "You are so bold that you dare to intercept the official servants. ”
The leader of the fleeing procession was an old man in his sixties, and he squinted at the people in the procession, and saw that these people were all full of energy, and there were so many carriages, and there were even messengers to escort them, and he thought to himself where the officials must have come from.
Seeing that the wheels of the carriage were sinking deep into the ground, and his eyes were already full of greed, he was not afraid at all and said: "We are all dying of hunger, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, if you don't leave the food today, step on the corpses of our people." ”
They still didn't dare to fight hard with the officials, so they played tricks with them, threatened them with death, and surrounded them to prevent them from leaving.
Some of them who fled did not eat a drop of water or food for two or three days, and if they did not eat any more, they would starve to death tonight.
They don't want anything but food, as long as they have food, their two hundred or so people can live.
"Official, please give us some food, the little woman's babies are dying of hunger."
Suddenly, a woman holding a child ran out of the team, rushed to Qin Ling, and kowtowed.
The woman was unkempt and ragged, and the child in her arms was estimated to be two or three years old, hungry like a big-headed doll, and dying in the woman's arms.
Leader Qin and Leader Zhang were unmoved when they saw this, and they encountered such things a lot.
"Yue girl, let's go over and have a look." The old marquis sitting on the ground shouted Su Yue.
Su Yue had already seen everything in her eyes, and she was thinking about how to help these homeless people at this time.
Hearing the shout, she nodded and helped the old lady up, and Uncle Su also helped the eldest lady to follow and take a look.
The three Su Qiwen brothers had already passed, standing behind Qin Ling, looking at the homeless people with a solemn expression.
General Yun also helped Mrs. Yun to take a look.
Only Imperial Physician Xie's family did not move, and these things were not something that his little imperial physician could handle.
Murong Li came over and followed Su Yue's side and walked towards the woman.
Su Yue is dressed in a green cloth dress, although the fabric is average, but she can't stand her white skin and beauty, no matter how she looks at it, she doesn't look like a child from a poor family, at first glance, she is the daughter of a family.
And Murong Li has an extraordinary temperament and is handsome and unique.
When the homeless people saw them, their eyes straightened, where did this immortal come from, how could they be so beautiful.
And those two couples, at first glance, are the kind of nobles with extraordinary status.
The woman saw that it was useless to beg Qin Ling, and when she looked up, she saw Su Yue, she was holding the child and pounced in front of her, holding the child with one hand, and grabbing her skirt with the other hand and kowtowing.
"This young lady, little woman, please, give us something to eat, if there is nothing to eat, the little woman's child will starve to death, please......"
The woman wept and kowtowed.
Su Yue's mental strength swept around, and the people of the entire team of escaping from the famine were all yellow and thin, and they were described as withered, dragging their tired bodies and looking at them, some of them couldn't even stand steadily, and a gust of wind could blow them down.
