They rowed downstream, the tips of lush mulberry trees floating on the water.

The view is good, but if you look into the water, you can see the dead bodies sinking to the bottom.

The black girl covered her stomach and said softly: "In a few days, these corpses will float up, and as soon as the sun shines, the crows will circle around the water, which is particularly scary." ”

Yu'an glanced at the black girl.

"How do you know so well?"

The black girl glanced at Yu'an.

"Naturally, I have experienced it, I have grown so big, and there have been many big floods in the river, but it has never been as terrible as it is now."

Yu'an whispered: "The Han army upstream blew up the Su Causeway. ”

The black girl sat up from the cabin and said in shock: "Blown up? How could anyone do such a thing. ”

Yu An shook her head and didn't speak, as if she didn't want to say anything more to this fisherman girl.

Instead, Shu Yan asked, "Black girl, do you have a big name?" ”

The black girl blinked her eyes wide and said a word.

"Little fish, uncle calls me little fish."

Xiao Yu'er looked at Yu'an on the side and asked with some curiosity, "What's his name?" ”

Shu Yan said with a smile: "Yu'an." ”

Xiao Yu'er said enviously: "His name is so good, it looks like he has read a book." ”

When it comes to reading, Yu'an's little face is a little ruddy.

When he was in Chen's house, Mrs. Chen praised him for reading well, and he held the book in his arms every day.

His birth is unknown, he is rejected by others, and he can only have a sense of existence when he picks up a book.

Shu Yan saw that Yu An was a little proud, so he laughed.

"Yu'an reads well."

Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, she grabbed Yu'an's hand and begged, "Can you teach me to read and write?" ”

It was raining lightly outside, and there was a lot of debris floating on the water.

In the small cabin, the sound of children reading can be heard.

Shu Yan rowed the boat to the land, but the river system was dense, and it was the rainy season at this time, and the flood showed no signs of receding, but intensified.

Their boat sailed to a town.

Most of the buildings have been destroyed, but the town is on higher ground.

A large crowd of people who had survived the dead had gathered on a high place, and a towering pile of dead people was beside them.

After a flood, the corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise a plague will inevitably break out.

Shu Yan and the others sat on the boat and watched, only to see a few young men bringing fire oil and firewood and burning the mountain-like corpse.

The fire flared up, and a strong smell of burnt paste came.

The light of the fire distorted the air, but the sound of chanting could be heard from the fire.

Shu Yan rowed the boat closer, and saw an acquaintance.

It was the little monk who walked with Qixiu that day, and the monk's monk's robe was already tattered, but he still knelt on the ground stubbornly, looking extremely pious.

Shu Yan parked the boat on the shore and said a few words in Yu'an's ear.

Yu An nodded and got off the boat, ran to the monk's side, and said a few words.

returned to his grandmother.

After listening to Yu'an's words, the monk's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Shu Yan, who pointed upstream.

The woman named Qixiu is probably also very lucky.

Shu Yan had no strength, so she asked Xiao Yu'er and Yu'an to row, and she nested in the cabin and slept well.

By the time she woke up, they had reached a small hill.

The terrain is high and uninhabited, but it is a good place to camp temporarily.

Shu Yan got off the boat, stretched the old bone, and suddenly heard a crisp sound all over his body.

Xiao Yu'er took out the dried fish on the boat, and turned out Shu Yan's old man, the weather-beaten pot.

She set up a pot to boil water and boiled a large pot of dried fish.

After a full meal, the three of them lay down on the hill and slept for a while, and then slept into the night.

Shu Yan woke up in a cold wind, she opened her eyes, and found that it was already dark at this time, and the fire in front of them had been extinguished.

Shu Yan hurriedly looked at his boat, which was still there.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard the playful laughter of a man on the shore.

"An old woman with her grandchildren, you are really fateful."

Shu Yan hurriedly picked up the firewood that still had charcoal in hand, she took two steps forward and saw a man with an injured thigh.

This man was tall, handsome, and had eyes like poisonous snakes, and at first glance he was not a good man.

The man's clothes were soaked, his hands were blistered white, apparently fresh out of the water.

It didn't look like he had much strength, not like he could threaten them.

Shu Yan said: "It doesn't matter if an old woman dies, but these two children are different. ”

Shu Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but the man said, "It's an amiable old grandmother." ”

Shu Yan didn't want to provoke this person, she stretched out her hand and shook Yu'an and Xiao Yu'er.

"Let's go."

When the man heard that Shu Yan was leaving, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, grandma, help me." ”

Shu Yan was called grandma by a seven or eight-year-old child, this man looks like he is in his twenties, and it is only suitable to be her son.

Shu Yan said coldly: "I don't have a grandson as big as you. ”

The man hurriedly smiled and said, "Then mother, godmother, please save me." ”

Shu Yan was a little disgusted by this, she dropped a piece of dried fish, and left with her two children.

In this kind of world, she can't be kind, and she keeps a little fish, she is already impulsive, and she can't bring another disaster.

And this man is not a good person at first glance.

Shu Yan and the two children rowed away, and the man lying on the shore showed a terrible smile to Shu Yan.

The little fish hid in the corner with some fear.

"That person is so scary, like a water ghost as Uncle said."

Yu An was quite calm, and he said, "What water ghost? ”

The little fish is interested.

"It's a kind of monster that lives in the water, it always picks up at night, ambushes the fishing boats, and often takes advantage of the fisherman's inattention to overturn the boat......"

At that moment, their boat suddenly jolted.

Seeing a pale hand stretched out from the water, Shu Yan and the others were suddenly shocked and couldn't move.

A moment later, the man who had been lying on the shore was holding the side of the boat and looking at several people viciously.

The man said viciously: "I think you are a godmother, you are still so ruthless to leave me somewhere, it is really hateful." ”

The man shook the boat with his hands, and the three of them felt that the sky was spinning, and the boat was almost overturned by this guy.

"Pull me up!!"

The man glared angrily, looking at the extraordinarily inferior person, Shu Yan had no choice but to reach out and pull the person up from the water.

After getting closer, Shu Yanfang saw clearly that this person was wearing the military uniform of the Han army.

He's a military man.

The man also noticed the change in Shu Yan's expression.
