"Is there a voice, do you hear it? There is a sound! ”

Scribe Jia cried with joy, pushed away Zhang Xianling, who was supporting him, and cried loudly.

"We are saved, we are saved!" Zhang Yuansi, who had regained his senses, knelt on his knees and shouted with his head up.

"My lord, we are saved, we are saved!"

"Woo, we're saved!"

About 20 people from Xin'an County who met in the mountains and forests cried loudly at the sound place.

Hunger, cold, and death tormented them all the time, and people died before their eyes every day.

A group of people were ragged and disheveled, and their skinny shapes could not be seen in their original appearance, and there was no doubt that they had nowhere to go and did not dare to walk on the road with nowhere to go.

He could only walk through the mountains, getting lost and attacked by wild beasts many times, and he couldn't find the way out of the mountain in a panic.

Grass roots, leaves, insects, wild fruits, and occasionally one or two pheasants and hares are rare for them.

As long as it can be put into the mouth, all of them are stuffed into the mouth, so that the group did not starve to death in the mountains.

"Let's go, it must be Kan'er Village, as long as we get there, we will have a way to live."

Zhang Siyuan got up and held the stick, and took the lead to walk forward, stumbling a little under the eagerness of his vain steps.

Luo Wen, who was close to him, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and the group supported each other towards the land of hope.

…

"My lord, look at the people down there!" Rowan pointed to the path down the mountain.

When the group heard that there were people below, they all lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down.

I saw that on the only road in the mountains, someone was building a wall, shouting a powerful trumpet, and only wearing a jacket in the winter was in full swing.

A large cauldron on the side of the road was steaming, and a group of people smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, and their stomachs thundered.

"Finally found a place, this is Kan'er Village, yes, surrounded by mountains, there is only one mountain road to enter and exit."

Zhang Siyuan collapsed on the snowy ground, looking up at the snowy sky.

At this time, he was very glad that he sold this mountain land and became his last place to stay.

"My lord, how do we go down, this is all a cliff!"

Smelling the aroma of rice porridge but unable to eat it in their mouths, the group of people with green eyes wanted to jump down directly, and they had to take a mouthful of porridge to drink before they could close their eyes.

Zhang Siyuan rolled over and got up, looking at the road below.

"When you get to the place, remember not to act rashly, we are going to ask the Lord of the Purple Castle to take us in.

The Lord of the Purple Castle asked you to work before, and the conditions he gave far exceeded the wages of Dujiang Mansion, although he was young, he was a very assertive person.

Xin'an County can't go back, so you can only hide in the mountains and make a living. ”

Zhang Siyuan, who took off his official uniform, was born as a farmer, and he was even more pessimistic about officialdom when he suffered from this incident.

For the safety of his family, seclusion is the only thing he can do at the moment.

In Xin'an County, where there are nearly 2,000 people, only about 20 people are left who are dead, and there are no women, old and young.

"My lord, we can save it!

The Lord of the Purple Castle is a good man, and I am willing to sell myself into slavery! Follow him to live. Rowan took the lead.

"We are willing to sell ourselves into slavery!" The group said in unison.

The people who can get here are all people who have worked in Daxia Castle, and their physical strength alone has caught up with the people in the county.

This is also an important reason why they can come here alive, without the food and drink during that time, where did they have the physical strength to last until now.

Otherwise, he would have died in the mountains like those people, and would have become the belly of the beast.

…

"Let's go, we go around this mountain, and we can always find a way down the mountain, and collect more thick vines on the way."

Zhang Siyuan was the first to get up and staggered forward, seeing that hope was imminent, the group ignited their desire for life and set off.

"My lord, why don't we call the people below and let them pick us up!" Rowan was puzzled.

"Shout, aren't you afraid to call the bad guys outside and think about the consequences?

We are here to defect to the Lord of the Purple Castle, not to cause trouble, we must see the situation clearly. ”

Scribe Jia really wanted to knock on Luo Wen's head to see, he didn't understand such a simple truth.

"Yes, that's what Lao Jia said, and don't call me an adult, I'm just a common person like you." Zhang Siyuan said a little self-deprecatingly.

"I understand, I understand!" Luo Wen nodded again and again, and the men who followed him also came to their senses.

…

Two days later, a group of wild men who had slid down the cliff face appeared in front of the people who were building the second wall.

On his face, which couldn't see any skin color, he opened his mouth wide and cried and laughed one by one, as if he was crazy.

The people who were working were holding sticks and slowly approached to surround these people, and Lu Tong pulled out the big knife that did not leave his body and shouted.

"Who is coming, this is private territory, trespassers die!"

"Die! Die! Die! ”

The people of Kan'er Village, with sticks in hand, stared at these madmen with good eyes, and roared in unison.

"Don't, we are all people who fled from Xin'an County.

I am Zhang Siyuan, and I am familiar with the Lord of Purple Castle, I don't know if Lao Hu Tou'er's family has come here, he can prove it to me.

This brother, please pass it on on your behalf, we will wait here, and we will not break in. ”

Zhang Siyuan, whose face was slightly astringent, raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, a face that was black and white, and it was even more difficult to identify.

He sat down with his hands pressed down and sat down without looking back.

"Sit down, no one is allowed to move, we are here waiting for the Purple Castle Lord to come out."

The men, who were crying and laughing, all sat down obediently and looked pitifully at the people around them.

"Okay, you wait and don't move around.

The Lord of the Purple Castle doesn't like people who act on their own, so you can do it yourself. ”

Lu Tong saw that the person who came said it was right, and decided to go on a trip in person.

…

"Lord Prefectural?"

Hu Lao Er in the crowd spoke tentatively, he couldn't believe that the wild man in front of him could be the county magistrate.

How is this possible?

"It's me, you're the son of Old Man Hu!"

"Hu Lao Er!" Rowan said excitedly, his body moved to rush forward, and forced himself to sit down.

He pulled away the messy hair from his face, revealing a face full of dirt, and said vigorously.

"I, Rowan! Rowan the Bricklayer!

The people who came together were all brothers who had worked for the Purple Castle Lord.

Help us beg the Lord of the Purple Castle to take us!

The county seat of Xin'an is gone, our family and neighbors have all been killed, it's gone! Gone!

Woo......"

When I met someone I knew, the nightmare of a group of people was mentioned again, and they all couldn't help but cry bitterly.

On the way to escape, no one dared to cry out loud, for fear that it would attract officers and soldiers who were following them.

The hatred and pain suppressed in my heart almost tortured a group of men crazy, and it was only by that hatred that I survived until now.

"How so? How so? ”

Hu Lao Er retreated again and again, not believing what he heard.

"Uh......h It was the officers and soldiers who did it! Zhang Siyuan said sadly.

"This matter must be related to the people of Xihe Village, and when I see the Purple Castle Lord, I will give him a detailed explanation."
