Shu Yan and the others let the horses go not far away, leaving only the luggage and parcels, and divided into two groups and blended into the refugee team.

Shu Yan, Cheng San and Asura looked like three generations of grandchildren, and they blended in behind a large family.

There were seven or eight men in the family, and several women and children sat on the donkey cart, and on the donkey cart sat a kind old woman, who looked about the same age as Shu Yan.

When the old woman saw Shu Yan's dusty appearance, she immediately said with concern: "Old sister, where did you escape from?" ”

Shu Yan hurriedly said: "We came from Pingqiu, we thought it was a good place, but it turned out to be a war again, and my son was almost dragged to be a strong man." ”

The old woman glanced at Cheng San up and down, and said with a smile: "Your son's long platoon leader, his body is quite strong?" I don't know if you're married? ”

Beside the old woman sat a rather handsome little girl, and the little girl immediately blushed.

Shu Yan hurriedly said: "My son has been married, and this is my grandson." ”

The old woman glanced at Asura, and then at Cheng San.

"Let the child him."

Shu Yan snorted and put this matter in the end, but fortunately, after talking to the same person, the team walked slowly when there were many people.

At this time, it is already midsummer, and it is really dizzy for people who are hot at noon, and it is very desolate here, and even trees are extremely rare.

Shu Yan walked profusely, but his steps were not much slower, but the old woman sitting on the donkey cart was too tired to walk.

The old woman gasped and said to Shu Yan: "Old sister, your body is really tough." ”

Shu Yan said: "No way, life is hard, just one son, how can you compare to the old sister and you have so many sons, enjoy happiness." ”

The old woman smiled.

By noon, some people in the line began to stop and prepare for lunch. Shu Yan brought some dry food, but they didn't bother to light a fire, so they just ate it with water.

After they finished eating, they found a place to sit down and began to rest.

Shu Yan leaned on Cheng San's back, and suddenly heard several violent cannons in the distance, she said with a wry smile: "This is yellow powder, ordinary black powder has to be ignited, this yellow powder backlog will explode, if they make mines, how many people will have to die." ”

Cheng San took a sip of water and said with a smile: "When my mother came up with these things, did you think about this?" ”

Shu Yan shook his head.

"People are always like this, they hear thousands of dead people in their ears, and they can't get into their hearts, but as long as one person around them dies, he will feel it."

Cheng Sanchang sighed and touched his nose.

"If Old Man Chen is killed, will you be sad and sad?"

Shu Yan sneered.

"It's good that he's dead, this old man cuckolds me, and I don't feel sorry for dying a hundred times."

Cheng San laughed, he stared at Shu Yan, and then said, "Did the godmother remember all the things before?" ”

Shu Yan shook his head.

"It's complicated, I can't explain it clearly, I'll tell you when I figure it out later."

After resting, Shu Yan stood up, she saw Bai Guichen and the others from a distance, and then quickly turned her head.

The large army continued to advance, and if it wanted to flee to the northwest, it would have to pass through Pingqiu, and although it would not enter the battlefield, it would not be far away.

They walked to a small river and took out their kettles to get water, but as they walked, they saw a lot of blood left upstream, and there were many severed limbs floating in the river.

Some of the deserters who fled said that the Han army had gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight with the army of the imperial court, as well as the prince of Naxiliang.

King Xiliang had a very powerful cannon in his hand, and killed hundreds of people in one shot.

A huge cannon sound came from not far away, and Shu Yan felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, and the people around him were suddenly afraid and couldn't do it.

But even so, in order to survive, you can only move forward.

The land is barren, their food stocks have been robbed by the army, and it will be a long time before the new crops ripen, and if they stay here, they will have to wait for death.

They can only go northwest, it is said that the current Jiangnan has become a hell on earth, floods, plagues, military rebellion, ordinary people simply can't live.

The old woman sitting on the cart suddenly burst into tears, she cried and said, "My youngest son also went to the battlefield, and I am afraid that this time I will not be able to come back alive......

Another cannon shot.

Shu Yan's heart was a little uncomfortable, but something even more uncomfortable happened, a small army caught up with them.

The crowd erupted.

Shu Yan hurriedly lowered his head, only to see that it was Chen Yunqing who was the leader, Chen Yunqing was riding on a tall horse, and he said to tens of thousands of refugees: "You want to go to the northwest and face the left side of the road, we are the army of the imperial court, and we will not be harsh on the people, if that strong man is willing to join the army, he can earn a load of rice for his family, and he can survive this road." ”

Cheng San said to Shu Yan: "Your eldest son has some ability. ”

Shu Yan was inexplicably proud in her heart, and she said: "That's it, although it is not filial, but the ability is there." ”

Cheng San: "That's not for nothing, godmother, you still have to hug my thigh." ”

Shu Yan and Cheng San ridiculed, but there were many young men who went to join the army, and Shu Yan saw that many of them looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Cheng San saw Shu Yan's expression, and he said faintly: "I have already killed people on the battlefield at my age, why doesn't my godmother feel sorry for me?" ”

Shu Yan kicked Cheng Sanyi, and they slowly walked forward with the team, passing through the checkpoint set by the imperial court.

After walking over, Shu Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

They had not gone long before they saw a huge procession of hundreds of soldiers gathered around a luxurious carriage drawn by eight horses.

Those soldiers drove the refugees, Shu Yan and the others hurriedly retreated to both sides, I don't know if it was a coincidence, Shu Yan happened to see the owner in the carriage lifted the corner of the curtain.

revealed a graceful and luxurious face, although it was only a glimpse, Shu Yan was inexplicably sure that this woman was the eldest princess.

Cheng San saw Shu Yan's expression, and he suddenly smiled: "Godmother, can you see the people inside?" ”

Shu Yan said with a smile: "My late husband's current wife." ”

Cheng San touched his chin and said, "Isn't the meaning of the first husband the meaning of the dead husband?" ”

Shu Yan smiled: "You kid has a perfect score for reading comprehension." ”

Although Cheng San couldn't understand his godmother's words, he knew that she was angry at the moment, so he quickly shut up.

The surrounding refugees spoke: "I don't know which noble person it is?" ”

"It's definitely not an ordinary person to be able to ride in such a carriage this year, let's not think about it so much, let's think about what to eat tonight."

In the middle of the night, Shu Yan was too cold to walk, there was no place to shelter from the wind and rain, Shu Yan curled up in the corner, Cheng San had a conscience, he lit a bonfire.

Shu Yan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"You kid has a heart."
