Chapter 22: Temporary Stay
Cheng San's technique looked extremely skillful, and the soldier said curiously: "Your skills are not bad, follow us to the Han Army to be a military doctor, is it better than staying in your hometown to waste your life?" ”
Shu Yan's face changed when he heard this, and Cheng San smiled and said: "What the military master said is that I will go to join the army today, but my younger brother in my family is infected with the plague, and I am afraid that I will go to the barracks ......."
When several military men heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly took the people away.
Before leaving, he said viciously: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
Seeing several military men leaving, Shu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she patted Cheng San's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid really has some wisdom." ”
Cheng San's expression did not relax in the slightest, he closed the door and said to Shu Yan quite seriously: "Long Yun's people have guarded the entrance to the city, they should be looking for someone, we can't get out at the moment." ”
Shu Yan looked around, and an indescribable pain welled up in his heart.
War is really more terrible than natural disasters, and those soldiers will kill people when they are unhappy.
Shu Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Then what should we do?" Can you sneak out while it's dark? ”
Cheng San smiled helplessly, and he said: "It's okay for me to sneak out by myself, but how can this big family hide people's eyes and ears?" ”
Shu Yan was suddenly worried, Cheng San went directly to the kitchen and took two big buns and started gnawing on them, but the food was extremely comfortable.
It's just that Cheng San saw that there were so many buns originally packed, and when there were only a few left, it was inevitable that he would not mutter.
"The buns made by the common people were taken away by those people."
Shu Yan leaned against the door, and suddenly thought of something, she clapped her hands suddenly, and said to Cheng San: "I have an idea, maybe I can get out of the city." ”
After two or three days, the Han army recruited a lot of soldiers in the city, and a lot of people made trouble.
At noon on this day, I saw an old woman at the east gate, followed by two children and a man, the man was pushing a cart, and the cart seemed to have a corpse lying on it.
The old woman cried very sadly, and when she reached the gate of the city, a soldier stopped her.
"The general has an order, and he must not mourn."
Shu Yan wiped the tears on his face, cried and said: "My daughter died of the epidemic, if you don't hurry up to find a place outside the city to bury her, the whole family will be dragged down by her......"
When the soldier heard this, he immediately took a step back, but he still ordered a person to lift the white cloth, only to see that the woman's face and body were full of sores, and at first glance she was suffering from some serious illness, and there was an extremely unpleasant smell.
The soldier suddenly said in disgust: "Hurry up and take the people away, disgusting to death." ”
Cheng San hurriedly pushed the cart through the city gate, but just as he was about to leave the city, he was confronted by a few people riding tall horses.
It was the dragon general who was the leader, and Shu Yan hurriedly pulled people to kneel.
But fortunately, Long Yun was preoccupied at this time, and he didn't look at it much, but the military advisor beside him said coldly: "What are they going to do?" ”
The military man hurriedly replied.
"Back to the military division, the cart is pulling a woman with an epidemic, if you don't send it out of the city, I'm afraid it will delay the big thing."
The military advisor gave a soldier a look, and the soldier hurriedly lifted the white cloth, and a foul smell hit, and the military advisor immediately frowned.
"Hurry up and pull it away."
After the military advisor finished speaking, he rode away, and Shu Yan hurriedly pushed the cart up with Cheng San.
This way out of the city gate, Shu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, their donkey is in the city, but it is okay to come out of a cart.
They pushed the people to a pond a few miles away, and Qixiu got up from the cart and went down to wash the smell off her body.
Shu Yan said with some guilt: "It's made you suffer." ”
Ki-su smiled.
"I didn't expect that my illness would have such benefits."
A few people repaired here, and then hurriedly pushed the cart to the northwest.
Cheng San pushed the cart, Yu'an was lying on the cart, the child's health was much better, but his spirit was still a little sluggish.
Because he was afraid of the pursuers behind, he didn't dare to stay, so he had to travel day and night, walking for more than ten days before he found a place to rest.
After walking for these days, they should have left the boundary of Yingzhou, and after crossing the Huai River, they have reached the hinterland of the Central Plains.
There had just been a big flood here the year before last, and the hungry people were everywhere, and the mountains were full of wanderers, so they could not be left alone, so they had to find a place and wait for the refugee team to cross the Huai River together.
And they had to build a boat that could cross the Huai River, which was not a small project.
It was a huge tidal flat, with a large expanse of abandoned farmland and dilapidated houses in the distance.
Shu Yan and they found a relatively intact house, in fact, it was said to be intact, but it only had one more roof than other houses, and one wall had completely collapsed.
However, the sun is better here, and there is a bed.
Cheng San and the others set up the guys' affairs, and then found some bricks from other places to build up the wall that had been stepped on.
Shu Yan took Qixiu to the river to dig some river mud, and when he came back, he strengthened the small house again.
After a long day's work, they set up their bedding and had a place to sleep.
Cheng San also pushed the cart into a second bed.
After doing this, Qixiu began to live and cook, and the food she brought before was not much, so Cheng San took the little fish to the river to catch fish.
Shu Yan took Yu'an to dig wild vegetables.
The most common thing to do on the way to escape is to dig wild vegetables, because there is always not enough to eat on the road, but wild vegetables are always growing.
Yu'an's body is better, but he is much more silent than before, he used to know how to read, but now he doesn't like to read very much.
Shu Yan squatted down and plucked a wild vegetable.
"Why have you been depressed these days, and your body is not well?"
Yu'an shook his head and said softly: "Grandma, I just think that reading seems useless, and the people of the world are just as miserable as us." ”
Such a young child said such a thing, which really surprised Shu Yan, and she reached out and touched Yu'an's head.
"There is a good saying, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be able to benefit the people of the world in the future."
Yu An nodded, he lowered his head, hesitated for a while and said, "Before, I was very rude to Uncle Cheng, but he found me medicine, grandma, you can help me apologize to him in a while." ”
Yu'an, this child, is kind-hearted and very cute, Shu Yan touched Yu'an's little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, grandma will help you talk about it later." ”
After the two of them picked the wild vegetables, they went back and put the wild vegetables directly into it to cook.
After the wild vegetable porridge was ready, Cheng San and Xiao Yu'er also came back, holding two fish in their hands, obviously with some gains.
Xiao Yu'er ran over excitedly and said with a smile: "Grandma, look! ”
The little fish was holding a pearl in her hand.
Little Fish: "This is what I touched in the river!" ”
