Chapter Seventy-One: Troubled Times
In the end, that Lord Song took hundreds of young and strong people out of the refugee pile.
Among those taken away were men and women.
Su Bujing was still in the crowd, and saw the young woman who stopped their carriage and wanted to rely on their family.
I saw that she walked in front with high spirits, closely following behind Lord Song's heels.
Before leaving, when she tilted her head to look at Su Bujing and the others, there was an inexplicable superiority in her eyes.
Hum! Man, you have to learn to be flexible like she did, and climb up at every opportunity you can.
Isn't it better to follow that son than to follow that group of lowly refugees?
As long as she Sun Qiniang behaves well in front of her son and wins the favor of her son, maybe she can eat and dress well on the road and avoid being disturbed.
Isn't this better than following behind, eating boiled wild vegetables bitterly, and having to guard against accidents around you from time to time?
When Fuzhou settles down, she and this group of refugees are the difference between the white clouds in the sky and the sludge underground!
At that time, even if these people want to curry favor with her, I am afraid they will not have a chance.
Sun Qiniang thought about it, feeling more and more intelligent and quick-witted.
She raised her chin reservedly, took small steps, and twisted her waist step by step, completely forgetting her husband who had only died a long time ago.
It seems that the tears shed for her husband before are all flowing from the corners of her mouth.
That pretentious appearance made Su Bu shocked with black lines on his head.
In the past, she just served people, but she became like this, and those who didn't know thought she was remarried and became the daughter-in-law of the prince of Qin!
Before, she threatened to drag her husband's corpse all the way, but now why don't you see her taking her husband's corpse to serve the noble son together?
She had seen it before, this woman had taken all her supplies to take care of Lord Song.
Those supplies are more than enough to pay for the journey, and if you save a little and be diligent on the road later, you will not starve to death.
But she wanted to take the crooked path, probably because she wanted to fight for the future by the side of Qin Gongzi.
There are really a lot of people who have this idea, and most of the hundreds of people are forced into it by themselves, including some refugees who pay tolls.
It's so beautiful!
How can a person who is already a servant and a kneeling person want those who are standing to give you respect and face?!
However, this is someone else's choice, as long as the woman doesn't come to provoke their family, she can do whatever she likes, and Su Bu is too lazy to care about whether her eyes are cramping or not.
——
After Lord Song took the people away, the matter of collecting the road fee was over.
The refugees from the two sides finally officially gathered together under the urging and shouting of the officers and soldiers.
However, compared to the previous winding dragon-like escape team, now there are many fewer people, like a stout dragon hungry and thin.
Most of the "fat" lost is the elderly and children.
In this succession of natural disasters, they were the first to be eliminated and were on the weaker side.
When everything is moving forward, even if you stand still, you are regressing.
In order to adapt to the harsher environment, the surviving refugees are also spontaneously undergoing subtle changes in their bodies.
It's just that this change is silent and imperceptible to the naked eye.
From people's resistance to cold, night vision to physical patience, the progress is not small.
Although it is far from the speed of evolution and self-preservation ability of animals and plants.
But as long as it accumulates bit by bit, I believe that it will not be long before people can fully adapt to the harsh environment, and then live like a fish in water in this troubled world.
The army fleeing from the wilderness was advancing, and encountered a deep pit on the way, and everyone walked around the hole as usual.
They have become accustomed to it, and whenever they encounter obstacles, they can go around them, and as for the problems of other boulder obstacles, they have their own officers and soldiers leading the way in front to solve them.
Detour or clean up, the people who follow behind them don't need to know, they just need to know, keep going, and get to Fuzhou.
Su Yuanshan didn't rush to the front with his head down, but pulled the carriage to the side of the team and stayed here for the time being.
Their family was not in a hurry to clean up the messy and empty carriages before setting off.
Just do it.
Zhao approached the carriage, and while no one was paying attention to him, he put back the mattress, blanket, hand stove, and stove that had been put into the space before.
Su Yuanshan and Su Buyi quickly laid out the mattress, folded five blankets, baked the stove, lit a honey candle on the wall of the car, and closed the window tightly to prevent a trace of light from leaking out.
Then, the family shook the cloaks they were wearing and slapped the dust and dirt off them.
Then, at Su Bujing's suggestion, the family hung the cloak at the door of the car in the order of being long in the middle and short on both sides, so that there was an extra heavy "curtain" at the door, which was dragged to the car board.
In this case, even if the people outside suddenly open the car door, the first thing they see is a few long wool cloaks, rather than directly seeing what the people inside are doing.
It is the second "door" in addition to the car door.
Not only is it private, it doesn't take up a seat in the car, and when you open the door, you can prevent cold wind from pouring in.
The Su family looked at it twice with satisfaction, then opened the "cloak curtain" and entered the carriage together.
Only Su Yuanshan was left to guard the edge of the car, paying attention to the changes in the movement of the escape team at any time.
In the carriage
After Su Bujing and the others came in, they were finally able to take off their masks and breathe.
After taking a breath, Su Bu carefully put the water with aura in the immortal mansion into the red clay stove to boil, and after boiling, he threw four brown sugars into it.
These days, Su Bujing often secretly replenishes the Xianfu water in his bamboo tube, and often gives it to his family.
Because of the long-term use of Xianfu water for the family, the family members are now well adapted to the Xianfu water, and there will be no more accidents in excreting dirt in the body.
So Su Bujing has already started to give his family members undiluted Xianfu water.
Their family fled back and forth so frequently, and there was no problem with their health, all of which were the reasons why the Xianfu water slowly nourished their bodies.
Su Buyi covered Zhao with two layers of blankets and stuffed a warm stove at her feet.
After the brown sugar water was boiled, Su Bujing poured a bowl for Zhao and asked her to close her eyes and rest while drinking the brown sugar water.
The remaining brown sugar water was eaten by the Su family one by one.
During this period, Zhao, accompanied by Su Bujing, went to the grass to change into a clean sanitary belt.
After changing, Zhao fell asleep with his head tilted because he was too nervous before.
"Sister, when are we going to talk to that six taels of silver!" Su Buwei looked at the sleeping Zhao family, and asked in a low voice.
The blanket he used to cover his feet was still in the man's hand!
"There's no hurry, when the team stops and rests, it's not too late for us to act." Su Bujing replied calmly.
"With so many people mixed together, will we still be able to find him when the time comes?" Su Buyi was a little worried.
Su Bu raised his head confidently, "Big brother, don't worry!" As long as that person is still in the team, they will definitely be found! We're quite close to him, hehe! ”
"Second brother, don't worry, just treat the blanket as if you are tired of covering your feet, now you go out to breathe and relax, and when you are free, we will go to pick up the blanket and go home."
