Chapter 9: Into the City
The woman held the child and cried.
"If you don't help me, my child will die, and you killed my child!"
Shu Yan looked at this crazy woman, and had to speak: "In this world, it's no wonder that you don't find others." ”
As soon as Shu Yan's words fell, he saw Cheng San, who was lame, walking down the mountain, holding a handful of herbs in his hand.
The herb was still stained with dirt, and then he fell with Cheng San.
Cheng San placed one of the herbs beside the woman.
"Give your child milk to drink, it may not be useful."
After Cheng San finished speaking, he beckoned to Shu Yan, Shu Yan hurriedly rocked the boat over, Cheng San climbed onto the boat with difficulty, and then lay down in the cabin.
At this time, Shu Yan found that the wound on Cheng San's leg had pus.
Shu Yan hurriedly said, "Are you okay?" ”
Cheng San glanced at Shu Yan.
"I'm dying, and in a few days you will throw me into the water and feed the fish, so that I won't infect you."
Cheng San's words were not unpleasant, and Shu Yan said helplessly: "You are clearly tetanus, didn't you pick herbs, just clean up the wound and apply medicine." ”
Cheng San took out a knife from his cuff and shook it at Shu Yan.
Shu Yan took the knife and looked at the horrific wound on Cheng San's leg.
"If you die, don't blame the old man."
Shu Yan tore Cheng San's trouser leg, and the black pus-filled wound suddenly appeared in front of people's eyes.
Yu An turned her head in fear, and the little fish lay on the side, looking at the dead fish in the pool.
She couldn't understand why fish in the water could drown.
"Ahh
Cheng San let out a miserable scream, and Shu Yan hurriedly pressed the pounded herbs on the wound.
"When we find the drink, we'll disinfect it."
Cheng San grinned in pain, and naturally he couldn't understand what Shu Yan said, but Yu'an asked timidly: "Grandma, what does disinfection mean?" ”
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and she hurriedly said: "Grandma also heard what others said, you two eat some dried fish, we still have a long way to go." ”
Baili Shuize, the further downstream you go, the more corpses gather, and the more turbid the flood becomes.
There are even many whirlpools on the surface of the water, which looks extremely dangerous.
They took advantage of the rain to catch a lot of clean rainwater, and Shu Yan washed Cheng San's wounds.
But Cheng San's face was red, his body was hot, and he was in a coma for a long time.
It wasn't until now that he was awake for a while, and Shu Yan hurriedly asked with concern.
Cheng San looked at the strand of white hair on Shu Yan's head and said something for no reason.
"My mother also has gray hair, which is quite similar to my godmother."
Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San and said, "Since you miss your mother so much, why do you want to come out and mess around, and don't go back to live with your mother?" ”
Cheng San's eyes froze.
"My mother has starved to death a long time ago, and my family is starving to death."
Shu Yan sighed slightly.
"Even if I mentioned your sadness, let's not talk about that."
Cheng San grabbed Shu Yan's hand and said in a low voice: "Since we are in the same boat, how about I take you as my mother?" ”
Cheng San looked at Shu Yan fixedly, but he looked at Shu Yan a little panicked.
How did she do someone else's mother, she never gave birth, how did she do it?
But this kid may have been burned in a daze, so he actually took Shu Yan's hand and began to call his mother.
Shu Yan reached out and touched Cheng San's head, which was as hot as a stove.
"And how old are you?"
Cheng San said softly: "I'm sixteen......"
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, this kid definitely looked like he was in his twenties, how could he be so anxious.
"Then it's appropriate to be my son, you have a good rest, I recognize you as a godson, don't let my mother send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
Cheng San half-closed his eyes and grabbed Shu Yan's hand tightly.
"Mother, mother......"
Cheng San called his mother all night, and finally his voice became weaker and weaker, Shu Yan felt a little sad in his heart, feeling that the child was dead.
But just as he was about to touch people's snorts, Cheng San opened his eyes.
He actually had the strength to sit up, and at this time Cheng San leaned on Shu Yan's arms, and the two of them really looked like a mother and son.
Cheng San glanced at Shu Yan.
"I dreamed of my mother, I haven't dreamed of her for a long time."
The child's eyes were misty, obviously showing his true feelings.
Xiao Yu'er said with a big grin: "You said yesterday that you wanted to recognize Grandma as a mother." ”
Cheng San was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Her old man was originally my godmother." ”
Cheng San stretched his waist, his spirit was much better, Shu Yan couldn't help but sigh, this young man is really in good health.
Yu'an had been looking outside, and suddenly said to Shu Yan at this time: "Grandma, I see the land." ”
Shu Yan hurriedly stretched out his head to look out.
All I saw was a large stretch of bare land, dozens of miles of rice paddies, scattered villages, and a corner of the farthest city wall.
They finally left the floodplain.
Shu Yan and the others hurriedly hid the boat, took their few belongings, and prepared to go on the road.
Cheng San couldn't walk, so Shu Yan had to support him.
Cheng San limped along, putting all his weight on Shu Yan, who hadn't eaten for several days, so he was naturally hungry.
But I still have to support him.
When they hit the road, they found that there were a lot of refugees gathered here.
There are also traces of water on the ground, and it is clear that the water here has just receded.
Shu Yan and others merged into the refugee group, and several of them described them as withered, although they were not unclothed, but they were undoubtedly beggars, and there was really no difference between them and the refugees.
Cheng San said in Shu Yan's ear at this moment: "Godmother, this place should be Huangxian, the capital of Yingzhou, and the hometown of General Long Yun." ”
Shu Yan thought of the tangled little general, and sighed for no reason.
They walked all the way to the county seat of the state capital, but there were more than a dozen soldiers standing outside the county seat, and they were not allowed to enter.
Shu Yan was a little anxious, the two children hung with a breath of fairy air, and if they didn't go in, I was afraid that people would be gone.
Cheng San stretched out his hand and pointed at Shu Yan's mouth.
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and Cheng San said softly: "Is there a baby in the godmother's mouth?" ”
Shu Yan thought about it carefully, and then reached out and pulled out the tooth on the edge of his mouth.
It was her gold tooth.
Shu Yan walked up to the soldier wrapped in a handkerchief, and cried and said, "Okay, a few officials, my son is dying, let's go in and see if he's sick." ”
One of the soldiers turned out to be Shu Yan's gold tooth, and he put it in his mouth and bit it without disgust at all.
Then he gave the person behind him a look.
Shu Yan hurriedly led people into the county seat.
After arriving in the county seat, even if he re-entered the civilized world, Shu Yan especially wanted to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
As long as she can finish eating Yangchun noodles, let her do anything.
It's best to have another roast chicken after eating Yangchun noodles.
At this moment, Shu Yan's stomach began to rumble.
