Chapter Seventy-Three: Refugees

Their eyes can only be rejuvenated and no longer lifeless when they look up at the front.

As long as they can find food on the road, as long as they can chisel ice and drink water, as long as they are not too cold to walk.

And they'll be able to hold on.

And what supports them is the rumored stable and peaceful Fuzhou with no natural disasters.

Therefore, even if the officers and soldiers around Qin Gongzi bullied others and looted away their small wild vegetable gangs.

They also took their close relatives into slavery and made them suffer the pain of separation.

But if these costs are paid, they can get to Fuzhou smoothly, which is also acceptable.

They are just so easy to satisfy.

Just show the refugees a way out when they are desperate.

They will be able to carry hope, give up everything, use their own blood and bones as a blade, and fight their way out of the thorns!

Su Bujing pursed her lips silently, only to feel that the world in front of her was so strange that she was frightened.

If a person can only be held on by the vague hope in his heart... What if hope is shattered...

Su Bujing also began to pray silently, praying that Fuzhou was really as King Yu said, and it was a blessed place to settle down.

Otherwise, she really didn't know what else these people in front of her could use to numb herself...

Or if you find out that you can't fool yourself, you will do something crazy!

How terrible people who have lost their reason and hope will be, Su Bujing will never want to know.

——

On the way, it may be because the Su family saw the plight of these refugees behind, and they all fell silent.

When the Su family's carriage passed by them, the vigilance and precaution in their eyes were undisguised.

As if he saw the smelly water, he retreated away from the carriage of the Su family.

The reaction of the refugees made Su Buwei touch his nose with some embarrassment.

Their family doesn't know how to eat people, so why are you so afraid of them...

Su Buwei complained silently in his heart, drove the carriage to a hidden corner, and began to walk forward in a low-key manner.

Inside the carriage

Su Buxian fell drowsily on Zhao's arm.

Although Su Yuanshan was in the car, he always opened the window facing the rear and paid attention to the situation behind him at any time.

I'm afraid that in the next second, another group of vampire moths will emerge from behind, or some other accident.

Su Bushu had nothing to do, so he simply took off the thermal insulation sachet that his family was wearing, and stuffed some of the freshly picked Flowing Fire Yin Yang Grass into it again.

It is also thanks to the characteristics of this grass that it will wither and lose its temperature in about two months.

The sachet they were wearing was still warm, and it shouldn't have been two months since then.

Otherwise, Su Bujing probably thought that they had been on the run for more than a year.

Their family had been on the road for so long under the eternal night, and they had long since lost their sense of time, and every day seemed to be endless.

Su Bujing thought helplessly:

It's only been less than two months... It's so hard!

The bad things that have happened these days really make Su Buxi feel like a year.

It's always a long time to travel, especially when you don't know how far you have to go.

After a long time, there will even be the illusion of standing still.

Only when people stop to repair, will they not think about the future for a while because of food and other supplies.

When the torches were burned out three times, the refugees in front stopped again.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the Su family's first reaction was not to get out of the car to collect supplies, cook and make a fire.

Instead, he poked his head out vigilantly, held the horse rope in his hand and fled at any time, and lit it forward with a torch, wanting to know if there was some kind of natural disaster and stopped.

When they found that the refugees in front of them were lighting fires, roasting wild vegetables, and going out to pick wild vegetables as usual, without rushing back, Su Bujing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Call! It's good that nothing happened!

After making sure that everything was normal, Su Buwei and Su Buxian on the side of the car went out to pick nearby wild vegetables together.

Su Yuanshan and Su Bujing held sharp firewood knives, hung a few baskets around their necks, and followed the refugees behind them to Binghe to dig ice for water.

Su Buyi looked for scattered branches near the carriage stop, and while lighting a fire, he piled up the damp firewood next to the fire for drying and adding firewood later.

It doesn't matter if they will spend the night here and rest.

As long as you are in the wild, you should keep the fire alive in case a wild beast suddenly attacks.

Well... Let's hope these beasts are still afraid of fire now!

Su Buyi kept an eye on the fire while guarding the safety of the carriage.

After all, there is still his aunt in the car!

On the other side, Su Bujing and Su Yuanshan also arrived at Binghe.

The river is long, but not wide, and it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a river as a slightly larger stream.

The surface of the stream is frozen like a mirror, and it is unusually solid.

There were also wisps of mist floating on it, and it smelled a little refreshing and cold.

Not every family of refugees who come here to get ice has a sharp weapon to use to chisel ice.

In order to be able to drink water, some people paid the price of a handful of wild vegetables and borrowed tools from other people.

They pounded the heavy ice, and the large chunks of ice that were chiseled were put into the baskets they had woven from weeds and branches.

In a short time, the basket was so full that it almost fell apart.

There are also some people who are reluctant to use food to borrow ice digging tools, and they are not particular, so they just lie on the ice, bow their heads and lick directly, licking and licking, their tongues stick to the ice and cannot be torn apart.

For a while, a lot of scarlet tongues were bloody on the white ice, like flesh flowers.

Seeing that Su Buzhen was tired for a while, he went to another piece of ice with few people to get water with Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan just wanted Su Bu to stand back, watching him chisel the ice, she just picked up the ice cubes on the side.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Su Bu carrying a firewood knife, smashing a piece of ice with a "bang", and the flying ice chips made him face.

Ahh How can it be so fierce!

Su Yuanshan silently put down his hand that wanted to stop Su Bujing, and shook his strength not to be outdone, "Ah Yan, you take it easy, don't use too much force, your arm will hurt when the time comes!" ”

Su Bu shook the ice ballast on his head in shock, "Don't worry, Daddy, even if I replace the ice with stones, I will be a top two!" ”

In a few moments, the father and daughter filled the basket.

The refugees not far away saw Su Bujing and Su Yuanshan, who were full of goods, and looked at the firewood knives in their hands with bright eyes.

Hey! This firewood knife is so sharp! If they can borrow a knife from this family, they will be able to spend less effort!

At the moment, it is very good for ordinary people to have a blunt knife for self-defense, ice chopping, and digging vegetables, not to mention other swords that are sharp enough to kill.

In troubled times, sharp weapons are more expensive than food.

Gradually, some people couldn't resist the temptation of the firewood knife and stepped forward to borrow the knife.

Su Yuanshan did not decisively refuse.

However, he only borrowed one knife at a time, and the whole process of using a wood knife to cut ice had to be done under his nose, and he couldn't run away with the knife.

The rent is not high, as long as half a handful of fruits and vegetables or three or two pieces of ice are meaningful.

What Su Yuanshan is trying to do is naturally not their supplies, but the gossip spread by these refugees.

For example, what is the specific situation of the current desert escape team, what other strange things can be eaten as food at the moment, and which people behind the team are arrogant and difficult to mess with... Etcetera.

These refugees have been in the desert escape team for a long time, and naturally know a lot of things.
