Chapter 37: Refugees
Ran away by her?
Damn it!
Several people were very angry, thinking that their dignified killers had always made few mistakes, but they didn't expect to be planted in the hands of a woman.
It was they who were careless.
One of them asked with a white face, "What now?" ”
The man at the head had gloomy eyebrows and eyes, and said coldly: "Go down and find it!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses. ”
"Yes!"
*
The firewood was crackling, and a childish child's voice came from my ears.
"Mother, can she still live?"
"Yes, as long as her injuries are healed, she will survive."
Yun Tianyue opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a mother and daughter sitting next to the bonfire, both mother and daughter were in ragged clothes, wearing a pair of broken straw sandals on their feet, and their feet were red from the cold in the winter.
"Yikes! She woke up. ”
The little girl pointed at Yun Tianyue and shouted.
The woman quickly turned around and saw her open her eyes, and her face was immediately surprised.
"Girl, are you awake? How does it feel? Is there anything wrong with you? ”
Yun Tingyue is actually uncomfortable anywhere.
It was very cold, and although the mother and daughter put all the warm clothes on her and deliberately lit a fire, the injury and coma still made her body temperature drop rapidly, and her teeth were so cold that she almost shivered.
Her back and chest hurt too, and she remembered that she had been stabbed through the chest by the assassin before she jumped off the cliff, but luckily the angle was off, and in her experience she probably didn't hurt her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have woken up now.
And hunger.
I'm really hungry, so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back.
Yun Tianyue pursed her dry lips and said in a dumb voice, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”
The mother and daughter were stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes."
The woman took a stick out of the fire, and after a few moments she pulled out a fist-sized sweet potato and quietly handed it to her.
"Hurry up and eat, don't let anyone find out."
As he spoke, he motioned to the person sitting not far away.
Yun Tianyue saw clearly that there were many people sitting not far away, everyone gathered around the fire in twos and threes, the same ragged clothes, the same skinny, the difference was that many people were asleep, and there were a few people who had not fallen asleep, and they were digging something in the snow with wooden sticks again and again, as if they were looking for food.
Who are these people?
The clouds and the moon are not clear.
The hunger in her stomach made her give up her reserve, take the roasted sweet potato, and eat it.
"Gollum—"
A very loud drooling sound sounded in my ears.
Yun Tianyue was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and saw the little girl picking up the roasted sweet potato skin she had picked off, putting it in her mouth and eating it with relish.
The woman was a little embarrassed and took her daughter into her arms.
"Laughing, we have come all the way, everything that can be eaten around us has been eaten, and the food we brought on our bodies has long been robbed, so we can only take out some sweet potatoes left over from the autumn harvest to eat, this one in your hand is still I just took it out of the ground the day before yesterday, and I have not been willing to eat it, and now it is just right for you, you are injured and need to replenish your strength."
Yun Tianyue was stunned, and her body stiffened slightly.
She had time to take a closer look at her surroundings.
I saw that this was a leeward col, it had just snowed during the day, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, and many people were curled up on the ground and lay down, and the sporadic fires reflected the faces of these people, all with numb expressions.
It's like...... Refugee?
Yun Tianyue remembered something, and her expression changed slightly.
She remembered that in the winter of the twelfth year of Renqing in the previous life, there was indeed a famine, and there was a heavy snowfall in Yongzhou in the north that was rare for decades, which covered all the crops and crops, and froze to death a patch of pigs and dogs.
But how difficult is the road to the south, coupled with the fact that most of the farms have not harvested in winter, and they all rely on grain storage to survive, the snow disaster in the north, the soaring food prices, not only the people of Yongzhou are affected, but the entire central part of the Dayuan country is affected by the north, and their own food is not enough to eat, where can they get more food to help the victims?
As a result, all these victims flocked to the capital.
But the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there is no surplus grain, Jingzhao Mansion Yin did not dare to let refugees into the city at will, so he could only seek the emperor's opinion.
At that time, Yun Tianyue didn't remember what the court debate was, and she was still locked up in the backyard by Xiao Jingxing at that time, and the little news she knew from the conversations of the people below.
It's just that later the emperor still ordered someone to open the city gate, and the influx of refugees caused a great wave of Xuan Xuan in Beijing, and even the Xuance army under Xiao Jingxing's command was also affected......
Yun Tianyue frowned slightly.
At this time, the little girl suddenly asked, "Sister, do you still want to eat?" ”
She wanted to eat the roasted sweet potato skin that Yun Tianyue had picked off.
Yun Tianyue was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly divided the remaining half of the sweet potato into three small pieces and handed it into the hands of the little girl and the woman.
"Girl, let's not ......"
"Let's eat together."
Yun Tianyue is not so great and selfless, she knows that her physical strength is losing too fast now, and she urgently needs to replenish her calories, otherwise she was not killed by those bandits, but died of shock first.
But she couldn't watch people go hungry to save her, especially a little girl.
When the woman saw this, she smiled shyly, but she did not refuse, but gave her daughter her own piece.
"Girl, who are you? How could this icy and snowy fall into the river? And so badly injured. ”
Yun Tianyue thought about it carefully, the place where she fell off the cliff should not be far from Qi County, since these people are going to the capital, they will inevitably pass through Qi County, and it should be a coincidence to save her.
Rao is like this, she doesn't dare to tell the truth.
I could only whisper: "I accidentally met a bandit when I went out to play, so I ......"
"Alas, this place is so close to the capital, where are there any bandits?"
The woman didn't seem to be uninformed, so she pierced her lie with one sentence, and said with a smile: "Even we homeless people have never met it, I think it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the people are pure, and ordinary thieves dare not invade." ”
Yun Tingyue sneered and touched her nose.
The woman said, "You were hunted down by the enemy, right?" I see that you have not only knife wounds on your body, but also sword wounds, and one of them is almost rubbed to the heart, so dangerous. ”
Yun Tianyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise, "You can also heal injuries?" ”
Woman Wan'er, "My surname is Xiao, my husband's surname is Wu, I am called Wu Niangzi outside, my family has been a doctor for generations, there is no man in my generation, and there is no brother in the clan who can succeed, my father passed on a medical skill to me, although the female doctor is lowly, but if it weren't for this medical skill, I and Liniang would not have been so smooth all the way from Yongzhou, and I would not have inadvertently saved you." ”
The clouds and the moon were slightly stunned.
Because of her words, a few good feelings suddenly rose in my heart.
"I see, since Wu Niangzi guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore, I did meet the enemy, I was kidnapped here by them, and when I escaped, I was not very caught up by the enemy, so I was seriously injured and fell into the river."
