Shu Ying's nervous atmosphere didn't dare to breathe, bowed her head slightly, and didn't dare to raise her head.

The three of them looked at Shu Ying, and Shu Ying's scalp was numb.

Finally, the young man at the head spoke: "Aren't you afraid of meeting bandits and gangsters when you are traveling alone?" ”

In these days, it is rare for a woman to dare to travel alone with her child.

Hearing this, Shu Ying's heart suddenly tightened, but she still looked as usual, raised her head and said: "The husband is carrying the luggage in front, and the little girl is tired, so she walks behind with her young son." ”

When she looked up, Shu Ying found that the young man in front of her was beautifully dressed, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a masculine face, and he looked heroic when he straddled the horse.

It's like looking at a tiger!

Shu Ying's face was fearless, she glanced at the scimitar on the young man's waist, and looked at each other calmly: "The son carries a knife, but he is from the army?" The husband also went into battle to kill the enemy, served in the army for three years, beheaded the enemy eighteen, was named a centurion, and returned to the field with a broken arm. ”

The little tiger had a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his little face was hot in front of the young man, and he actually reached out to touch the scimitar, and said happily: "Mother, you see, my father also has such a knife." ”

"Bold!"

Beside the young man, a strong man gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"Don't be nervous, just a toddler. Don't make a noise, don't scare your child. The young man frowned slightly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Shu Ying also hurriedly pulled Xiaohu back, pulled Xiaohu behind her, and said embarrassedly: "My husband joined the army in his early years, I raised him alone, and I had to take care of farm work, so my young son inevitably lacked discipline. ”

"I bumped into my son, please don't be angry."

The young man looked at Shu Ying with complicated eyes, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since your man is in front, we won't bother anymore." ”

As he spoke, the young man took out a black iron token half the size of a palm from his arms and threw it to Shu Ying: "If there is any difficulty, show this card." ”

Shu Ying was slightly stunned, this plot was a little beyond expectations.

The black iron is cold and heavy, and the patterns on it are complicated, and there is only one word: "beam"!

Waiting for Shu Ying's subordinates to pass the token, the young man greeted him, and the three of them rode away!

"Whew."

It was only at this point that Shu Ying exhaled.

This scene has been experienced several times along the way.

I didn't reach the uninhabited road, but whenever a man passed by, he had to ask himself curiously, and some were frivolous.

Fortunately, Shu Ying experienced the incident in Shihe Village, and she was a little more precautionary in her heart, so she explained Xiaohu's cooperation in advance.

Sure enough, after those men heard that there was a husband who had been in the army for three years, they were all polite and polite, and those frivolous people looked like they were going to drag Shu Ying to the forest to chat for a while, and they left immediately.

In this world, the status of a woman mainly depends on the status of her man.

This is why Shu Ying didn't dare to tell the truth, if it was known, she was a fugitive village girl, and she was afraid that she would be dragged into the forest in minutes.

"These brothers don't seem to be the same." Xiaohu looked curiously at the backs of the three men riding away.

Shu Ying touched the token in her arms and nodded slightly, these three people didn't seem to have bad intentions at the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't have left the token before leaving.

I thought too much about it.

However, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

Shu Ying rubbed the token and continued: "It's better to go to the forest to rest first, lest they find that there is no husband in front of them and come back to look for us." ”

And the other side.

"Drive!"

The three of them rode their horses, and after a while, the young man at the head stopped his horse's hooves and frowned slightly.

A strong man behind him stepped forward immediately, frowned, and said, "Childe, why did you give that mother-in-law token?" Could it be that the son fell in love with the mother-in-law dressed as the village girl? ”

The young man shook his head, but said: "Hehe, three years in the army, killing the enemy eighteen, in this Great Liang country, can be regarded as an elite veteran." ”

"I broke my arm and made such a great feat, I actually carried my luggage on the road and hurried on foot with my wife and children."

"It's me who is ashamed of them...... But ......"

The young man looked around, there was a little more smile in his sword eyebrows, and he smiled heartily: "I didn't expect that I was tricked by that woman, and there was no husband in front of me." ”

"Dare to deceive the world." The strong man snorted coldly: "I'll go back and slaughter that woman!" ”

The young man waved his hand: "That's it, the world is like this, the people of my Daliang country are difficult to live now, and the woman is on the road with her son, but she has to rely on lying to protect herself." ”

He lowered his head, his young face flushed with anger, and said coldly: "I really should let those mongrels who keep saying that the country and the people are safe in the court come to take a look." ”

The two strong men's faces immediately changed, and they looked around and said, "Childe is cautious!" ”

The young man sighed, collected his spirit, and then said in a deep voice: "That woman is also smart, don't look for it, I'm afraid she has already hidden." ”

"The military orders are heavy, the river valley is critical, and the most important thing now is to go to the river valley to support!"

"The 30,000 troops of my Iron Wind Army have been trapped in the river valley for more than half a month, and they are already in danger, so I finally begged my father to let me return to the army! Brothers, wait! ”

His eyes were extremely anxious.

That was the Tiefeng Army he brought up, but he was transferred back to the capital for just three months, and the newly appointed Zhao Ling put the Tiefeng Army in a checkmate situation, how could he not be in a hurry?

"Don't delay time, go back to the army quickly! The post station of 100 miles ahead will change horses again! ”

"Yes!"

"Da Da Da!"

The whip waved, the horse's hooves sounded again, and the three of them galloped away!

In the evening of the same day.

The sun is slanting in the west, and red clouds are everywhere.

Shu Ying and Xiaohu walked with dry mouths, and finally came to a village.

Standing on the official road, looking at the village at the end of the stretching path, there are patches of farmland and a small river winding through.

There are farmers who are plowing at sunset, peasant women picking wild vegetables, and some chimneys are already smoking.

Just standing here, Shu Ying felt a sense of comfort.

Of course, Shu Ying also knows that this village is also inferior to men, and it is not to blame the village, but the world is like this, everywhere is the same.

Aside from that, the village is pretty good, and it doesn't feel dilapidated.

"Mother." Xiaohu smelled the chaff cake in the cooking smoke and swallowed: "Don't go, just here." ”

Shu Ying nodded and walked into it with Xiaohu.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, I immediately saw the village woman picking wild vegetables curious.

"Girl," a peasant woman in her thirties stood up with a basket and greeted Shu Ying, "Where are you looking for?" ”

The eldest sister has rough and dark skin, mud-stained hands with perennial textile calluses, and a sturdy body, at first glance, she is a good hand at working hard, and she is dressed in simple clothes with patches and patches, but she is also clean, and her face has the enthusiasm and simplicity that belongs to the women of the village.

"It's not looking for anyone." Shu Ying looked sad and sobbed slightly: "There is a big drought in Hezhou, and the little girl can't survive anymore, so she has to flee to her parents' house with her child." ”

"I didn't expect my mother's house to be in ruins, Xu was made by bandits, and the little woman had to take her children to wander all the way, so she came here."

Hezhou is about 500 miles away, and Shu Ying has never been there before, but she has also heard of a severe drought this year.

Just use it as an excuse.

You can't say that you ran away from marriage, then if you can't get it right, someone has to tie you back for the money.

The little tiger on the side looked at Shu Ying's crying face, and gasped at the moment, almost thinking that he and his mother had really fled here.

Mother's acting skills are terrifying!

It's a pity not to send it to the theater.

"Cry!" Shu Ying said in a low voice.

Xiaohu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly put on a lost and begging appearance, but he couldn't cry, and secretly pinched himself a few times before finally crying.

"Wow!"

Xiaohu cried loudly, knelt down directly to the village women, and kowtowed again and again: "Aunts, it's okay, give me a way to live!" ”
