Life and death matter

Zhang Xichai cried out with a whimper, she didn't know where her mother's body was thrown.

stumbled and followed Tian Yunyun into the carriage and went out of the city.

……

Zhang Xichai knelt in front of a new grave, crying silently.

In just a few hours, the mother and daughter were separated by yin and yang, and she still remembered eating red bean cake with her mother during the day.

Tian Yunyun's body was wrapped in a cloak, revealing only one face, quietly watching this scene.

It's better to be cruel than to be self-deceived.

In his previous life, Zhang Shilang did not kill Zhang Xichai and her mother, because the Zhang family girl still has use value.

Control the aunt in your hands, and you can control Zhang Xichai.

Now that something ugly has happened to the Zhang family, I can only find someone to marry the girl out, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to make a main room if it is a little later.

The truth is so cruel and coldly laid out in front of you.

The first rays of the morning sun shone on the green grass, and the paper money was blown away by the wind.

Tian Yunyun: "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Xichai patted the mud on his body and limped towards the carriage.

Neither of them spoke on the way back.

When he entered the city, he suddenly heard the sound of blowing and beating outside.

Zhang Xichai couldn't help but open the curtain and saw the team of relatives passing by.

Next to the sedan chair were her nurse and her personal maid.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman asked casually, "Excuse me, which girl is this girl marrying?" ”

Passers-by smiled and said, "It's the girl of the Zhang family and Hu Xiucai." ”

The greeting procession turned a corner on the street corner and went in the direction of Hu's house.

The carriage moved slowly again.

Zhang Xichai only felt ironic, her mother was just killed last night, and today Zhang Ya married instead of her, she doesn't even have an identity.

Tian Yunyun patted her arm, "It's okay, the Hu family doesn't have a good person, you should be happy to jump out of the fire pit." ”

Hu Xiucai relied on his father's talent to be admitted to the top prize, not the material for studying, and he had no opinions.

Hu is really the best evil mother-in-law.

If there are any good things on the daughter-in-law, she will pretend to be there, and when there is no use value, her true face will be revealed.

Tian Yunyun said carefully to Zhang Xichai.

Zhang Xichai had also heard about some things about Zhang Xiucai's mother and son, and felt that the two of them were a little strange in their behavior.

At that time, she wanted to marry so much, that someone would support her, so that she could take her mother away and not have to be tortured at the hands of her mother.

Now that her mother is gone, after listening to Tian Yunyun's words, she was afraid for a while.

A girl who was rejected by the Zhang family, and did not have a dowry that she could get, the situation in the Hu family can be imagined.

Tian Yunyun settled Zhang Xichai in the private house under the name of the second prince.

The key was in her hand, and Xiao Shenjin would not go out of the palace to live, so it was a greeting for someone to send him a letter.

……

As soon as Tian Yunyun went out that day, she heard passers-by talking about it.

"I heard that there was a natural disaster in the hidden capital."

"There is a great drought, and there is no way for the people to live."

Tian Yunyun arranged the shop properly, asked Aunt Gui to stay and help watch the shop, and set off with the second team of Chirp and Qian to Youdu.

Along the way, I saw droughts everywhere, and the water in the river was cut off.

The further you go, the more severe the drought becomes.

The yellow sand flying in the sky makes people unable to open their eyes.

The riverbeds were cracked, and the grass that grew withered away.

The three counties next to the capital were the hardest hit.

The wells were dry, the crops were dead, and there was no water for the livestock.

A big yellow dog lay under a wilted tree, yawning with its tongue outstretched, skinny as thin as it was skinny.

I didn't even bother to call when I saw a group of people.

The road was full of victims fleeing with their families, and most of them were heading in the direction of the city.

But the gates of the city were closed, and not even a single guard guarding the city could be seen.

Even though the victims screamed, no half figure came out.

A man in his thirties banged the city gate, "Open the door, General Xin will open the city gate and save us." ”

A woman sat on the ground, holding the child in her arms, "The official messenger said that we should come to Youdu, saying that the silver from the imperial court for disaster relief was sent to Youdu, why don't they care if we live or die?" ”

At the foot of the city wall lay people lying on the ground.

They all looked at the two of them lifelessly.

A scene that plays out every day.

Tian Yunyun got off the carriage, she wore a sky blue gauze skirt, put on a curtain, walked up to the man, and asked, "Is there anyone in the secluded city?" ”

The man shook his head, "I don't know, I can't open the door no matter how I call it." ”

The bearded man and the others followed, "I heard you say that General Xin swallowed the disaster relief silver?" ”

The man gasped and looked at the bearded defensively, "I don't know. ”

The bearded man smiled, "I inquired all the way through, General Xin just swallowed the silver, and said that the silver was used to buy military rations, and it was a waste to spend it." ”

"Closing the city gates means leaving you to fend for yourself, and if you don't take a way to live, you want your family to die here?"

"Is anyone collecting your body?"

The man opened his mouth and struggled to spit out two words: "No." Where can we go? ”

Whoever takes them in will only treat them as a burden.

The bearded man slapped his chest with a crackle, "Go to Liangdu!" His Royal Highness King Jing loves the people like a son, and there is also the Changning Army with strict military discipline. ”

Tian Yunyun: "We are businessmen in Liangdu, and we originally wanted to do business in Youdu, so we just said a few words, big brother don't mind." ”

After speaking, he turned to the people of the second team of Qian and said, "Let's go!" ”

The second team of Qian was dressed in disguise, all wearing the clothes of the caravan, and led the convoy.

The man believed seven or eight points when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "You want to go back to Liangdu?" ”

The bearded man nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you are willing, you can go for a while." ”

The man laughed delightfully, "That's great." ”

Walking up to the woman holding the child, "Let's go." ”

The bearded man waved his hand, "Get in the car." ”

The people who had been lying motionless all stood up and surrounded the convoy.

"What you said is true, does Liangdu really have a way to live?"

Bearded: "Who lied to you, Liangdu had a snow disaster last year, and there were porridge shacks along the way." ”

I haven't heard of soup kitchen, but I've heard about King Jing's love for the people like a son to exterminate bandits and protect the people.

The heart that had been desperate came alive again.

Some people hesitated: "It takes more than ten days to walk in Liangdu, and it takes seven or eight days to ride a horse." ”

Bearded: "I know a trail. It can be there in a maximum of seven days. However, it is necessary to cross mountains and mountains, day and night. ”

Some people feel that the mountain road is dangerous and are reluctant to go.

The bearded man sat on the ox cart and flicked his whip: "Then let's go." ”

The cloth on the ox cart was blown up by the wind, revealing the sack inside, and there was half a cart of grain.

The victim's eyes lit up, staring at the grain on the ox cart like hungry wolves, and swallowed his saliva.

Subconsciously chased after it, and the others saw that it would be a dead end if they waited any longer, so it was better to give it a try.

So, Tian Yunyun saw a group of victims following behind the carriage.

The victims along the way subconsciously followed.

On the official road, a monk with a staff appeared alone and blocked the way.

The carriage was at the front, and Tian Yunyun and Chio got out of the carriage.

Senior monk: "Donor, turn back to the shore." ”

Tian Yunyun smiled and quipped: "As soon as the master came up, he persuaded me to turn back, may I ask, what did I do?" ”

Monk: "Stop! ”

He saw Tian Yunyun get into the carriage and wanted to persuade him.

The woman holding the child said, "The girl is a great good person, master, is there a mistake?" ”

The man walked over from the side, "Indiscriminately, he persuaded people to let go, and he didn't even give him a way to live?" ”

The victims of the disaster originally thought that the appearance of the eminent monk meant something.

Suddenly, he heard the monk say Amitabha, he put his hands together, "Life and death, life and wealth, don't force it in the sky." ”

The man's face changed, and he snorted, "Ignore him." ”

"Oh, the senior monk of Laoshizi, I'm afraid that he will not be sent by King Yama to ask for his life!"

"Hurry up, leave him alone."

"Bad luck!"

All the victims ran after the convoy, and the monk was knocked to the ground.

He was not angry, got up and patted the dust, and chased after everyone.

The bearded man touched his beard, and these victims were stimulated by the monks, and they followed even more with determination.

It saved him a lot of effort.

When I entered the mountains, my speed slowed down.

The road that Tian Yunyun refers to is in disrepair and overgrown with weeds, but fortunately, the road is relatively flat and not so difficult to walk.

Halfway through a mountain stream.

The victims all cheered, took the bowl in their hands and drank a few bowls, and poured them desperately on their bodies.

The bearded man took water upstream and started to make a fire to cook.

Beckoned the victims to collect firewood, followed Tian Yunyun and them to find wild vegetables, while the others guarded the side of the car loaded with food.

Tian Yunyun and Chio came back after digging wild vegetables.

I saw that the two cauldrons were boiling, the porridge was boiling in the pot, and the rice was churning up.

There was a smell of rice in the air.

Tian Yunyun added salt and chopped wild vegetables to the pot, stirred it, and boiled.

She looked back, and the bearded, the bearded man immediately understood.

Greeted the victims and began to line up to eat.

The victims were all surprised and couldn't believe it.

Kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Lord Qingtian! ”

The bearded man waved his hand and said loudly: "After eating, hurry up." ”

After eating, put away the cooking utensils.

After an hour's walk, it became dark.

The bearded man raised his voice and ordered: "Hurry up, take the torch in your hand, there is no need for us to be afraid." ”

The people of Qian's second team gathered around the carriage and food, each holding a torch in his hand, and walked quickly.

The child and a few old people were already asleep sitting on the ox cart.

Along the way, no one spoke, except for the sound of footsteps.

In the second half of the night, the bearded man finally ordered to stop and rest.

I found an open place, lit a few bonfires, and all the victims sat together.

The exhausted crowd slept until dawn.

Tian Yunyun took people to catch fish.

After eating, there was only one bag of grain left on the grain cart.

Some people start to have other thoughts.

"How long will it take? Either the gang will break up. I can't walk anymore. A big man shouted.

Someone chimed in: "There is no food, can we go to Liangdu alive?" ”

"It's only been a day, and what are we going to do with six days?"

The bearded man got down from the ox cart and said, "You can go if you want, I have saved food." ”

The man and woman snorted coldly, "Just count them as having the most food and talking a lot." ”

There are always a few people who are in the front when they don't help with eating.

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Let's go." ”

The three of them turned and walked into the woods, and they went back to block the monks.

I saw the monk following behind.

However, the monk walks slowly, and a single person is a good time to start.
