"It's been a day, did the pigeon bring the letter?"

Because of the carrier pigeons, the plum berries did not wander north like headless flies this time.

After leaving the flooded dock in the morning, they walked for most of the day and finally found a village nearby.

Previously, Mei You said that since there is a dock, there should be people nearby.

However, it was clear that everyone in the village had fled in all directions when the flood came.

The whole village is very desolate, there are traces of flood crossing everywhere, and the high ground and good lighting are fine, but the low-lying houses are still more than a foot high and soaked in sewage and silt.

There seems to be no sign of the returnees in this village.

Occasionally, I don't know where to waft from and wait for a rancid smell, if it weren't for the difficulty of the people looking for them, there is a high probability that the plum berries here would not be happy to come.

Desolate, dead and desolate.

This is still the case during the day, but at night, Mei Berry is afraid that she will not be able to sleep when the wind blows.

This is different from the fear brought by the deep mountains and old forests.

In the end, they chose a small courtyard of bluestone bricks as a temporary resting place.

After determining the location, they whistled to summon the pigeons and sent the news out.

After that, she and Mei You carefully cleaned the yard.

Earlier, when they came, they found that there was no chain on this door.

When she entered the courtyard and looked at the back room that had been washed away by the flood, it confirmed that people were in too much hurry when the flood came.

The house was chaotic and silty, and they didn't want to look at the plum berries any longer.

Fortunately, it is hot now, and they can work outside in the yard.

It's just that the more I clean up, the more I can't help but sigh.

"It's been a long time since the flood waters receded, and aren't these people coming back?"

"The whole village has run away, and even if some people have an accident in the flood, then some people should survive and come back, right?"

Think about the people of Yunzhou, they have all run from their hometown to Fucheng, Yanzhou, which is across the river, why did the people disappear after they ran away?

Listening to Mei Berry's doubts, Mei You thought about the terrain they had seen along the way and said silently: "This piece of terrain is flat, the flood is coming, if it rises sharply in a short time, I'm afraid it will be ......."

I'm afraid that no one will survive.

Mei You didn't finish, but Mei Berry's eyes had already fallen on the flooded wall.

On the stone wall of about 1.8 meters, the traces left by the flood even spread to the top.

The house is still on high ground in the village.

The terrain is high, and the flood is still like this, this wide field of vision is everywhere in the plain boundary, where can they flee to?

Plum Berry stopped talking, she just looked at the loofah on the courtyard wall that was lucky to survive the flood.

Nowadays, the loofahs are old, and their stomachs are full of tough and rough melon pulps and seeds.

They didn't wait for the family that planted them to come back.

Mei You looked at Mei Berry staring at Mei Berry who was in a daze with a loofah, and felt that her mood was not high, so Mei You asked, "It's been a day, did the pigeon bring the letter?" ”

"I guess we'll be there, but I don't know how long it will take them to get there."

Speaking of this, Mei Berry and Mei You couldn't help but look at Wang Beigu who was still asleep worriedly.

That person, who was awake for a short time a day, Mei You also followed Mei You to check the other party's injuries.

Mei You was very surprised that the wound treated by Mei Berry did not have a tendency to deteriorate and become inflamed, and although Wang Beigu was angry, he did not have the kind of high fever after being injured and inspired.

It's magical.

"It's not too early, I'll go find something to eat and clean water."

Mei You said that she was about to leave, but Mei Berry opened her mouth and remembered the other party's ability, and she also had a plan in her heart for Mei You to avoid herself.

"Well, sister, you go first. I looked to see if there was anything in the mule's back pocket that I could use, I had forgotten what was in it in the hurry I had left. ”

"Hmm."

So, by the time Mei You came back with a large bucket of water from a wooden barrel that Mei You didn't know where to find, Mei Berry had already pulled out what she had collected from the system.

A small handful of red beans, two salted duck eggs, and a small handful of glutinous rice.

With such a combination, you can probably guess how you ate tonight.

"Why do you have all this in this bag?"

"When I was in Fucheng, I originally prepared some in advance for the Dragon Boat Festival, but it rained all the time, and I didn't have the heart to spend this festival.

That's all that's left for things to eat one after another...... Originally, I put it in the bag because I wanted to fight the chickens on the way back and eat these ......"

I don't know if the plum berry is too similar, and Mei You doesn't think there's anything wrong.

But the battle chicken, who had been listening to Plum Berry, was standing on the cart with great disdain at the moment!

"I don't eat this!" Bah! I'm going to eat bugs! The kind of pulp that bursts! 】

Plum berry: "......"

"Your chickens are good."

Mei You sighed, now they have been reduced to grabbing food with chickens.

It was getting dark, and Mei Berry and Mei You, who had eaten half an egg on this day, also began to cook red bean glutinous rice soup impatiently.

If it weren't for the fact that the mules and cubs had also swam in the water, the plum berries would have wanted to "take out" a packet of brown sugar from the bag.

I don't know if it's because of the aroma of the rice, Wang Beigu, who had been asleep for a day, woke up on time when they were drinking red bean soup with plum berries.

Then, he followed suit and ate the red bean soup.

This time, after Mei Berry had written a letter from the carrier pigeon and let it go, Wang Beigu's expression on his face visibly relaxed.

"Will they come soon if they get the news?"

"Yes."

"That's good."

With Wang Beigu's assurance, Mei Berry and Mei You's mood also became very good.

But after these things, there are some things that plum berries really don't ask uncomfortable.

"Why did you Jiubaoxuan mess with Chen Yuan?"

As soon as Mei Berry thought of Chen Yuan's neurosis, he added: "I went out of the customs this time, and if I want to go back in the future, I will definitely not go to Jinghu Pass, that general soldier is really ...... Sick! ”

"He's sick."

Wang Beigu didn't expect the origin of Chen Yuan, and he couldn't help but scold Mei Berry.

"Chen Yuan, the second son of Fuguo Gong. My aunt is His Majesty's concubine, and my cousin is His Majesty's favorite son, His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"He's from King Qi's gang?"

Just listening to Chen Yuan's family background, it's hard not to think that he and King Qi are in the same group, right?

In this regard, Wang Beigu didn't expect that this Chen Yuan would actually be loyal to someone else!

Even because they discovered this secret passage, the other party suspected that the person he was loyal to was the King of Qi, and wanted to take this opportunity to catch them all.

This person also wants to take advantage of this chaos to cut off King Qi's forces in Yunzhou.

It was impossible for him not to know that Xie Changchen had come to Yunzhou Mansion before, but he never showed up, leaving Xie Changchen to deal with those people.

It doesn't have to be just a matter of self-preservation.

"No wonder it's so arrogant."

Mei Berry and Mei You, the two laymen, could only sigh at this time, Chen Yuan did have arrogant capital.

"Are the people behind you afraid? This time he provoked Chen Yuan, and he might even provoke the King of Qi behind him. ”

Wang Beigu heard the laughter and didn't say a word, just looked at the sky with his eyes, and asked Mei Berry after a while: "What exactly does the message in the letter you wrote?" ”

"Huh? How do I remember this, there are several pigeons, it's written about the same anyway, it's all about you dying, hurry up and bring the doctor over. ”

Wang Beigu listened to Mei Berry's description, first fell into an eerie silence, and then he seemed to have discovered something unusual.

"How many pigeons did you release?"

"Okay, how many?"

Plum Berry felt as if she was in trouble.

Sure enough, when she spoke, Wang Beigu's whole body became excited and breathless: "How can there be several?" ”

"Just whistle and keep blowing, and as a result, a lot of pigeons came in a row......"

probably understood where he had provoked Wang Beigu, and Mei Berry spoke quieter and quieter in the end.

"What's the problem?"

"No ......," Wang Beigu spat out and closed his eyes again.

Forget it, so be it.

I don't understand why the other party is suddenly melancholy, but Mei Berry is in a good mood.

Many pigeons, many roads, isn't it~

Wang Beigu: My first heroic name!!
