The next day, the two groups set off again from the place where they were stationed.

Because of Liu Luoying's illness, no matter how uncomfortable Sanfang was in his heart, he still had to get by on his face, so he finally didn't let her squeeze together with the maid again, but made another carriage out.

Liu Luoying naturally wouldn't shirk it anymore, and after Ying Ying thanked her, she got into the carriage with Liu Qingqing.

She had just drunk the medicine this morning, and fell asleep in the sedan chair unconsciously, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by an eager cry of Yingchun.

"Miss, Miss, wake up!"

When she opened her eyes, she heard a noisy shouting from outside the palanquin.

The convoy had stopped, and she opened the curtain to see that it was a large number of yellow-faced and thin-skinny refugees coming from nowhere, blocking the road in front of them, each holding a hoe and shovel in his hand, staring at it fiercely, it was clearly a carriage loaded with grain and grass behind the convoy, and the family in the house was about to be unable to resist.

Yingchun said anxiously: "Miss, these people are all displaced people who have been affected by the disaster, and now they are all robbers, Mrs. Hou went to the front to inquire about the situation, and told the slave maid to take care of you, but I'm afraid it won't last long here, Miss come with the slave and maid, go to the back and hide!" ”

When Liu Luoying heard this, her heart suddenly rose, and she didn't care about asking, so she hurriedly got out of the car, and before she had walked a few steps, she turned around and saw that those homeless people had rushed over!

"Miss, let's go!"

Yingchun grabbed her hand and pulled her to the back of the convoy.

Liu Luoying remembered Liu Qingqing in her heart, and hurriedly said when she saw this: "I'll go to my sister first, you go and inform the second aunt and them, as well as the other subordinates, let them disperse, hide in the mountains, and don't fight with them." ”

The bandits in the era of frost were also ordinary people who were affected by the war, and they just wanted to live with a bite of food, and they would not easily hurt people's lives.

Yingchun was still a little worried, but Liu Luoying pushed her, lifted her skirt and chased forward.

There was chaos everywhere in sight, the convoy had all been scattered, the people of the Liu family and the Luo family were mixed together, Liu Luoying tried hard to identify, and finally saw Liu Qingqing's figure.

"Sister!"

She just screamed, and before she could separate the crowd, her arm was pulled hard, and the whole person stumbled into a cold breath.

Liu Luoying was startled, and saw a flowing stone flying from nowhere, smashing down where she was just standing.

She raised her head in shock, and saw the young man's handsome face.

"Second cousin?"

She was slightly stunned, and then remembered her sister again, and hurriedly chased after her.

But another wave of homeless people rushed over, and Liu Qingqing was no longer visible, the entire convoy fell into complete chaos, countless homeless people rushed in, wantonly searching for stored food and clothing, and even some people had already started to grab a bag of steamed buns, screaming and screaming endlessly.

Even if she lived again, it was the first time for Liu Luoying to encounter this kind of scene, and she trembled slightly unconsciously, and was pulled by Luo Ting, and often hid in the forest on the side.

The whistling wind echoed in her ears, and the only touch on her body seemed to be gathered on the wrist pulled by Luo Ting, and she followed behind her with a deep foot and a shallow foot, I don't know how long she ran, Liu Luoying was so tired that she couldn't even lift her legs, and she suddenly tripped over a dead branch under her feet, stretched out her legs and suddenly lost her center of gravity, and fell forward!

Liu Luoying let out a small exclamation, but her waist was buckled hard and she didn't fall to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Luo Ting's voice sounded with a bit of coldness.

She subconsciously shook her head, gasped for breath, and raised her eyes to look at the young man, obviously she had just run the same road, but Luo Ting looked much better than her breathless appearance, her breath was still stable, and even the tone of her voice did not fluctuate much.

It took a while for Liu Luoying to recover, and she was blown by the wind in the forest, and her sweat-soaked clothes stuck to her body, bringing a biting cold, which made her shiver.

Luo Ting let go of her in silence, pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut down a lot of dead branches with quick movements, built a small bonfire on the ground, and lit it with a fire breaker, and the warmth brought by the firelight dispelled a lot of chills.

Liu Luoying remembered her lost sister and father, and her heart was heavy. And Luo Ting is not a person of many words, leaning silently against the side of the tree.

When she raised her eyes, she saw the young man lazily playing with the dagger in his hand, and the blade when he pulled it out was as cold as snow.

She was stunned for a moment, after all, Luo Ting's status in the Luo family was obvious to all, so this dagger ......

Probably noticing her gaze, Luo Ting casually put the knife away.

Peeking at the girl who happened to be caught was a little embarrassed, and asked without words: "Second cousin, I haven't thanked you for saving me just now, how did you find me?" ”

The young man replied lightly: "Just passing by." ”

This answer made Liu Luoying unable to find a word to answer for a while, she thought about it, and said: "You stand so far away, isn't it cold, come to the fire." ”

Since the fire was erected, Luo Ting has been standing a few steps away from her, without the slightest intention of getting closer, his thin lips opened slightly, and it was a concise two words: "No." ”

The atmosphere around him became more scorched and silent, and only the "crackling" sound of dead branches exploding in the fire could be heard, and as the sky darkened a little, the little jumping fire became more and more conspicuous.

The clothes on Liu Luoying's body were almost dry, so Luo Ting put out the fire and buried the burned dead branches: "Let's go." ”

It was always dark early in winter, and just now Liu Luoying ran all the way with Luo Ting, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the foot of the roadside, and when she walked back at this moment, she realized how difficult this road was, and the rocks and soil clods alone almost tripped her several times.

Fortunately, Luo Ting always walked in front of her, and if she was a little careless, she reached out at the right time to hold her firmly, and then withdrew it after she stood firm, which not only prevented her from falling, but also did not lose etiquette.

Liu Luoying followed behind Luo Ting, and finally walked out of the forest, and saw that the place where the original convoy was originally a mess.

Several carriages were torn to pieces, and a few scattered people were still trying to find something, but none of the Liu family and the Luo family were gone.

She panicked, and was about to step forward, but she was stopped.

Luo Ting frowned and looked around, and said, "There is no blood stains or anything like that, no one should be injured, Nanling is not far from here, they should have taken refuge in Nanling City temporarily." ”

The old house of the Liu family is also not far from Nanling, Liu Luoying calmed down from her eagerness, knowing that what he said was right, and in this situation, even if she wanted to find Sister Ah and her father, she had to settle down first.

Luo Ting stopped an ox cart entering the city, and Liu Luoying told her situation on the side, and said some soft words.

The ox cart was a simple man, and he immediately enthusiastically let them hitchhike, and after arriving at Nanling, Liu Luoying thanked him warmly, and stuffed a piece of broken silver into the past, before leaving with Luo Ting.

Nanling was originally a very prosperous area, with abundant people and smooth wind and rain, so it bore the brunt of the war when it came. Now it seems that the streets are depressed, full of refugees with their families begging, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the corpses wrapped in sackcloth mats and left on the side of the road are just a few steps away.

Liu Luoying only glanced at it twice and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, hurriedly walked over, and finally found an inn, the shopkeeper's eyelids didn't lift, and said coldly: "There is only one room left, ten taels of silver, can't you live?" ”
