Chapter 2 The storm is turbulent, and people's hearts are scattered
Person.
It's all people!
Dense crowd of people......
Run.
It's all running!
Running for your life......
After traveling hundreds of miles, the closer you get to Xianyang, the more frequent you encounter such situations.
Yin Wen tried a few times, wanting to pull someone over and ask what was going on, but he was rudely thrown away.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. told him not to be rude, and he was a doctor of the Great Zhou and not a high-ranking official of the Qin State, I am afraid that he would have been unable to directly whip down one and interrogate him as before.
The two did not stop in the middle of the road, but leaned against the wall on the side of the road, quietly watching the crowd running wildly.
"Hit in, run!"
"Run, ......"
"Daddy, the child really can't run."
"If you can't run, you have to run."
Unlike the heavy and dead breath of the group of people seen before, these people showed some vitality, although this vitality was displayed in the form of running for their lives.
However, unlike those who wrote "despair" and "helplessness" on their faces before, these people are not so much broken down as afraid.
The fear that overflows from their bones makes them drag their families with their mouths, carry the old and the young, and almost instinctively step forward.
Many elderly people fell to the ground with inconvenient legs and feet, and if they couldn't stand up, they climbed forward with their hands and feet, which was lucky; Those who were unlucky were trampled by others and rolled into a ball.
Some children failed to keep up with their parents, and were drowned in the sea of people and the sand and dust that was swept up by the crowd but could not be dispersed for a long time.
Unfortunately and sadly, their parents did not stop for them, but continued to run forward with the other children.
The old man of Qingniu and Yin Wen did not go up to help.
If it's just a family trying to run for their lives, they can go up and help. The more healthy the workforce helps the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the more hope there is to escape.
However, here is a group of people, countless people, all people who don't want to die. Everyone wants someone to help them stay alive.
The old man of Qingniu has become a burden by himself, Yin Wen wants to serve Mr., but he didn't help, and even if he helps, he can't help.
Someone saw the combination of the two, rushed over, directly dragged Yin Wen off the horse, and pulled the reins to snatch the horse away. Yin Wen has never been so tossed like this in decades, and in a fit of anger, he punched the man, but his fist was clenched.
Yes sir! He hadn't thought that this thin old man would have such a powerful strength in addition to his transcendent wisdom, and his fists would hurt a little.
The two watched as the man carried his family to the horse, and did not stop him. But just because they don't block it doesn't mean that others won't stop it. Many people don't see the good of others, especially at this critical juncture of life: why can you run faster but I can't. The people around immediately rushed up, all wanting to take the horse for themselves.
A farce unfolded like this, when there were more monks and less porridge, everyone couldn't take care of the decency of the past, you punched me, I kicked you back, and a group of people fought together. Many of the people who had been knocked out of the circle stood up scolding and shook in front of the two, as if they wanted to see if there were any horses. Others fixed their eyes on the green bull, but they all shook their heads and walked away.
The pace of escape cannot be stopped, and standing still at this time is undoubtedly the most stupid choice. After a period of arguing, many people chose to quit, and the rest of the people also grouped side by side and followed the horses eastward.
With a helpless sigh, Yin Wen bent down and shook the whip and picked up the dust at his feet. He raised his head, grimaced, and looked in the direction in which the horse he had galloped in was snatched, and did not speak.
Yes, his horse had already been snatched away, but neither the old man of Qingniu nor Yin Wen spoke, let alone stopped him.
As for the green cow, it didn't run as fast as anyone else, so naturally no one grabbed it.
But at this point, they have done their duty.
The rest can only look at the will of God, and we have to look at the will of God.
"Sir," maybe it was a little weird to watch others run wild, and after being silent for a while, Yin Wen couldn't help but open his mouth, "What do you think?" ”
The old man raised his head and was about to answer, but he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye, so he turned his face to look.
A man in a linen robe stood on a high ground, his face covered with a black cloth on his head, making it impossible to see his true face. The left hand is clenched into a fist, and it is possible that something is being held in the palm of the palm.
Yin Wen didn't get an answer, slowly raised his head, and looked at the teacher's gaze.
Maybe the man was a little vigilant, and seemed to sense the gaze of the two and looked down.
I don't know if I don't see this, but I am shocked when I see it.
The man's gaze swept over Yin Wen's face, and when he stopped at the face of the old man of the green cow, his chest twitched back, and then he turned around and ran, flashed into the forest, and a few shadows disappeared.
"Judging from his exposed arms and this skill, he should be a relatively young master." Yin Wen has been in Hangu Pass for many years, and he can know people without leaving ten, "Sir, do you need me to chase after you?" ”
……
in an unknown valley
Sleeping in a small pavilion feels awkward in any position. The old man in the linen robe stretched his waist, raised his right hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, opened his eyes and glanced at the chessboard......
Originally, it was just a habitual action, but this time, it was ......
Stunned......
Shocked......
How did that guy get there?
The old man in the linen robe tightened his heart, and lifted a white chess piece in the middle of the chessboard and put it on the west side of the chessboard.
Then take a good look at the chessboard......
Finished!
The old man in the linen robe felt that the world was spinning, but he still stretched out his trembling left hand and felt a black chess piece from the chess jar, and carefully placed it on the left side of the chessboard near the edge.
Even after making such a small movement, the old man in the linen robe seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body. He slumped in his chair, tilted his head to the side, and looked at the clouds rolling in the sky, speechless.
Please take care!
……
Yin Wen didn't chase after him in the end.
It's not that Mr. didn't let him chase at all, but with his body that is not confused and always sits still all day long, even if he wants to chase, he is also powerless.
It's also that Yin Wen didn't chase it, if he caught up, he would see - on a grass not far from where the person was just standing, there were a few small droplets of water scattered.
Although Yin Wen didn't chase the man, he still caught up with Mr. and followed him to a house. There was an old man on a pole, looking at the direction in which the people were running.
The old man bent down and sat on the steps in front of the door with the old man and talked to the old man.
"Uncle, escape?"
"Run!"
"Why did you run away?"
"Did you call in?"
"Why don't you run away?"
"I can't escape...... If you can escape...... Still used here? ”
"Who's coming in?"
The old man's still calm face suddenly flashed with a hint of horror.
"Outside...... Foreign armies. Good...... It's so strong! ”
"What about Qin Hou?"
"Marquis Qin's personal expedition! But I was still beaten up! Even the army in the Qinhou Palace can't stop it! ”
"Do you know where the Marquis of Qin is fighting now?"
Asked this, the old man's face showed a trace of confusion, but his answer was undoubtedly a thunderbolt for the old man Qingniu and Yin Wen!
"Xianyang City is broken, how can there be any Qin Hou?"
