Chapter 174: Traces

They walked for a long time, but they didn't see anyone.

Not even a bird had ever been seen, and the group found a forest to set up camp, which should be in the area of Guangshan, where the planting conditions were better and the grain production was higher than the rest of the Central Plains.

But when he walked all the way, he saw that the fields were all half-human-high withered grass.

Thinking that no one had farmed for a long time, Yuan Shayi went to the stream not far away to get water.

Several bonfires were lit, and Asura didn't know where to dig out a few bird eggs, and brought them to Shu Yan as a treasure, and Shu Yan saw this nest of eggs.

"It's hard for you to find food in such a situation."

Cheng San leaned over and said, "If you really can't find food, we can also dig a rat hole, the rats hide a lot of food in winter."

Their current food is not starving to death, but if they go down, Jiangnan is also in such a situation, I am afraid that it will be a *** annoyance.

Bai Guichen walked up to Shu Yan and said, "Godmother, don't worry, we don't have food, so someone will naturally send it."

Shu Yan's eyelids jumped, but she forgot that there were chasing soldiers behind them.

Several people rested here for a few days, and then began to continue on their way.

In the winter, the wheels have changed a lot, but fortunately, all the people in this group are in good health, but no one is sick.

After walking for half a month, they finally arrived at the edge of Huaishui, and after passing Huaishui, they could be regarded as going down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Cheng San originally wanted to cross the river directly, but He Shuyan insisted on going to the vicinity of Sui County, so he walked for another seven or eight days.

Shu Yan wanted to find someone, and Bai Guichen wanted to see someone.

In the early morning when she arrived at the boundary of Sui County, Bai Guichen left on a horse, saying that she would come back at sunset, Shu Yan didn't say anything, she took Cheng San to the county seat of Sui County.

They ventured to take the official road, Shu Yan thought that there would be people in Sui County, but when they arrived outside the county, they saw that the walls of the entire county were broken, and there were almost no living people in the city.

Cheng San said to Shu Yan, "Godmother, this is already a dead city, who do you want to find?"

Shu Yan let out a long sigh, and she said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, let's go."

Shu Yan turned his horse's head and prepared to leave the city, but when he walked out of the city gate, he saw a crazy old woman standing on the official road, barefoot in the cold weather.

Shu Yan hurriedly stepped forward, the crazy old woman seemed to be waiting for her, Shu Yan got out of the carriage and walked to the crazy old woman.

"Who the hell are you?"

The crazy old woman took out a scarlet bead from her arms and stuffed it into Shu Yan's hand.

"It doesn't matter."

After the crazy old woman finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, Shu Yan almost couldn't believe her eyes, and the old woman disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Cheng San frowned slightly.

"I've never seen such a master, godmother, have we seen her?"

Shu Yan looked at Cheng San, and she whispered, "When we first came to Sui County, we met her, and it was she who gave me that string of copper coins."

"Then she's ......?"

"She is Our Lady of the White Lotus."

Cheng San was suddenly surprised, he touched his chin, and said, "Godmother is really good at remembering, that god is black, and this crazy woman is also dirty, you can see it."

Shu Yan rolled his eyes.

"You kid hurry up and let me go, we still have to cross the river quickly."

Shu Yan hurriedly took Cheng San to the camp, and as soon as they arrived outside the camp, they heard Xing Feng say loudly, "Is this true?"

When Shu Yan heard this, his eyelids jumped, and after Xing Feng saw Shu Yan, he hurriedly said, "Supervisor, the chasing soldiers have arrived."

Shu Yan didn't have time to get off the horse, so he said to everyone, "Hurry up and pack your things and go find Bai Guichen."

The group hurried to Xiaozhou's cemetery, Bai Guichen was indeed here, Shu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said to Bai Guichen, "The chasing soldiers are here."

At this time, it was the dry season of Huaishui, and there were not many boats in the whole Huaishui, so they brought a lot of horses, and there were not enough boats to prepare

In desperation, he had to leave some horses behind and cross the river with difficulty.

After crossing the Huai River, Shu Yan stood on the bank and saw a large number of people gathered on the opposite side, led by Chen Yunqing, the eldest son of the original owner.

It's just a vague silhouette, but Shu Yan recognizes it at a glance.

Cheng San patted Shu Yan's shoulder and said softly, "When we leave Jiangnan, we can get rid of them."

Shu Yan sighed slightly, and no longer looked at the pursuers behind him.

"Let's go, we'd better get rid of them."

Shu Yan and the others drove for three days and three nights, and finally threw people away temporarily.

Jiangnan is better than the north, at least they can still see some people, they found a small town, and rested for a day, and then hurried away.

The frequent rush made Shu Yan's body a little unbearable, she was much thinner than before, Bai Guichen originally asked Shu Yan to take the carriage, but Shu Yan was afraid that the carriage was bumpy, but now he had to take the carriage.

Asura also followed Shu Yan into the carriage.

Shu Yan originally felt very bumpy, but after being upside down, he actually felt used to it.

Shu Yan fell asleep in the carriage, and actually had a dream, which seemed to be something that happened when the original owner was young, probably some fragments of the original owner giving birth to Chen Yunqing.

It's very trivial, but it can still be seen that the original owner loves his eldest son very much.

When Shu Yan woke up, he rubbed his head with a headache, and Asura sat in the car, looking at the sunset in the distance.

They're almost in Hangzhou.

Shu Yan's heart trembled, this was the beginning of her journey through life, Cheng San rode to Shu Yan's side, he whispered, "Godmother, do you want to stop when you go to Hangzhou?"

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and she said, "I want to go back to Chen's Mansion."

Now this place still belongs to the King of Han, so I am not worried that Chen Shengzhi's people will blatantly arrest her.

The group arrived outside Hangzhou.

I saw a tall city wall standing in front of everyone, surrounded by green trees, and many people and passers-by walked in the streets.

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, she remembered that when she escaped from Hangzhou, it was not like this.

Bai Guichen said to Shu Yan: "The subordinate official here is a talent, and he has managed the area around Hangzhou very well in two years."

Shu Yan only took Bai Guichen and Cheng San into the city, and the others waited outside the city.

There are many Han army flags erected on the streets, and there are many soldiers patrolling, this Hangzhou is the richest commercial place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Han army naturally attaches great importance to it.

Cheng San couldn't help but speak: "If your nephew can occupy this place, then your son will be able to enjoy happiness with you, I heard that the most famous thing in this Hangzhou is a famous prostitute......

Shu Yan slapped Cheng San's head to the side.

"There is no danger to defend this Hangzhou city, if we occupy this place, I am afraid that in three months, our heads will have to be hung on the city tower."

Cheng San smiled, he saw the sugar cakes he bought on the side of the road, so he bought a lot, and said some nonsense in front of Shu Yan while eating.
