16 Chapter 16
Song Laohan's family includes Song Laohan and Song Pozi, Song Sanlang and his wife and their five-year-old daughter Maizi and two-year-old son Huang Dou, and the deceased Song Erlang's only son Gaoliang, a total of seven people.
From the mouth of Song Laohan's family, I knew that the official road to the capital city of Gunzhou is now full of homeless people.
Song Laohan did not want to stay in Governor Gon, but went all the way south and wanted to go to Hezhou.
Hezhou, still in the south of Yuzhou in the past, Hezhou Lu Zhizhou is a Qing official who has been in office for two years, has always been gentle to refugees, and the policy is open-minded.
"Hezhou is not far from the land of fishing and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, just on the edge of the edge, and it is estimated that the place is not bad, but because it is sparsely populated, it can't be raised." Song Laohan yearned for it, "We are mud legs, nothing else, but it is still possible to take care of the fields, as long as we can give us a place to settle down and leave a bite to eat, it will be done!" ”
"Yes, yes, I heard that it is not like our hometown in Dongchang, where the river floods every spring, but in summer, there is a drought and lack of water, which is not easy." Song Sanlang, one of the mud legs, also nodded, "But Hezhou heard that the weather is smooth all seasons, if we can settle down there, we don't need to go difficult in the future." ”
Han Mufei, who doesn't care about crops, only understands some theoretical knowledge in books, so Song Laohan and his son said that she just listened silently on the side, walking, and making small calculations.
If Song Laohan and they want to go to Hezhou, they will inevitably pass through Yuzhou.
Although she and Brother Chu arrived in the capital city of Gunzhou, they could go directly to the dart bureau to hire a dart team, but in fact, this was not the best choice.
Not to mention, if the current situation is turbulent, there is still no dart team willing to escort them to Yuzhou, even if they are willing, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of silver.
It's not that she is reluctant to give up the silver, the problem lies in the silver.
If the dart team saw that she was a lone lady with such a small gentleman as Brother Chu, and she was carrying a large sum of silver, would she deliberately make things difficult for them in other aspects?
Or, in the barren mountains and mountains, simply kill people and seize wealth, destroy corpses and destroy traces, it is estimated that no one knows, then she and Brother Chu will die unjustly.
This is also the reason why she guessed that Aunt Xia and Han Heheng had bad intentions for them at first, but she also had to swallow her anger and follow them back to Yuzhou.
Let her only take Brother Chu to hire a dart team, in case something happens, there will be no grandpa and daddy in the capital to support them, she doesn't dare!
Therefore, it would be good to follow Song Laohan's family to leave the capital city of Gunzhou and go to Hezhou.
Wait until you get to the capital city of Gunzhou, and then think about how to talk to them.
Han Mufei made up his mind, and he was kind to Song Laohan's family and got along very well.
They left the jungle and turned onto the official road, and the road was easy to walk.
Han Mufei looked back and forth, and sure enough, he found that there were many homeless people in ragged clothes like Lu Song Laohan on the main road.
There are those who drag their families with their mouths, and there are those who are alone, and there are more and more people who are carrying more or less things, and their eyes are very vigilant.
As long as it's not in groups.
Han Mufei, who had been attacked by large-scale displaced people, thought so, and then couldn't help but think of Han Heheng and his group, and he didn't know where they had gone at this time?
If you can reach the capital city of Gunzhou yesterday, it is estimated that you will set off after repairing today, and now you may be out of the boundary of Gunzhou and enter Yuzhou to Xinyang, right?
Xinyang, Yuzhou, is the ancestral land of the Han clan.
It only takes two hours for the carriage to arrive at the city of Gunzhou, they rely on their legs, and they go around the jungle for a long way, it is estimated that it will take two days, and now plus the Song Laohan family, they are all women and children, and if they can't go fast, they have to walk for three days, if something happens on the way, or delay, it will take more days.
is the same as Han Mufei thought, although there are many women and children in their group, but there are also many people, and it is not that they have not met people who want to fight their ideas on the way, but firstly, there are Song Laohan and Song Sanlang who support the façade, and secondly, every time those ill-intentioned people come up with an excuse, Han Mufei takes out his crossbow and pulls it away, and Chu Ge'er also unceremoniously raises □□, but it also deters and scares away many people.
In this way, the bump bumped into the third day.
Before nightfall that day, they found a forest near the village, and planned to stay overnight, and then they would reach the city tomorrow.
Because they were also sleeping out with Song Laohan's family the night before, and staying outside this night, Han Mufei and Brother Chu are not as worried as before.
This is the advantage of people together, the more people together, the greater the strength than two people alone.
And for Song Laohan's family, the benefits are even more obvious.
Although Miss Han and Brother Chu are women, they have weapons on their bodies, and they are also very capable of catching prey, and they can not only eat fish, but also fruits, hot water, pheasants, and hares at any time.
In just two days, they were well fed and drunk, and they changed from the decadence and despair of the road before, and became energetic.
I don't know where Miss Han got their ability, they can catch prey so easily in the mountains and forests, guess that they are Orions, and they don't look like they talk like it.
"It doesn't matter where they come from, if they're good people, just do it!" Song Laohan said.
Everything on the cart was taken out, lame chairs, barrels and basins, notched bowls and cups, and thin bedding, and when the cart was emptied, it was a bedside for women and children to spend the night.
After Maizi went up to play with his younger brother soybeans, Mrs. Song and Song San's sister-in-law began to wash the iron pot and the bowls to be used for eating for a while, Song Sanlang was responsible for taking care of the guards in situ, Song Laohan and Song Gaoliang were responsible for finding firewood, and as for Han Mufei and Brother Chu, they were naturally responsible for finding food.
"Sister, are you saying that when we get to Fucheng, we still have to follow Uncle Song and them to Hezhou?"
"It's not to go to Hezhou, just follow them all the way, and we will be separated when we get to Yuzhou."
Brother Chu, who already knew the benefits of walking with Song Laohan's family, nodded.
"Okay, sister, you are more familiar with these things than me, just let you call the shots."
Brother Chu looked at his sister and admired it in his heart.
That day, Sister Ah said that she would be embarrassed, but he didn't believe it at all.
There is no master to lead the door, how can there be people in the world who can understand the terrain just by reading the booklet?
But Sister Ah told him with her own actions in the past two days, and her sister really understands.
Standing in the jungle, as long as Sister holds her breath and looks around, she will know where there is a water source, where there is fruit, where there is a rabbit's nest, where there is a bird's egg nest, and she never fails.
It's like Sister Ah can suddenly pinch and calculate, and she is enlightened.
"Sister, you're amazing."
"Not really."
In fact, where does Han Mufei know Kanyu, it's not that when he was looking for food, he directly opened a map and found the prey.
However, since Brother Chu believes, it is the best.
In the future, it will be convenient for her to use this skill at any time under his nose.
Half an hour later, Han Mufei and Brother Chu successfully caught two pheasants, one big and one small, and brought them back to make dinner for Mrs. Song and Song San's sister-in-law.
"Chicken tonight!"
Song Laohan and Song Sanlang all came up, looking at the pheasant in the hands of Han Mufei's sister and brother, his face was full of emotion, and the sorghum who was watching the fire also looked up at this side, his eyes were full of light, and Maizi moved off the cart with his younger brother in his arms, and looked at Song San's sister-in-law who received the pheasant in her hand and laughed in surprise and shouted: "A-Niang, A-Niang, let's eat chicken tonight?" ”
"That's right." Song San's sister-in-law glanced at Han Mufei, nodded gratefully, and turned around to go with Mrs. Song to kill chickens and pluck feathers.
Mrs. Song pulled the chicken in her hand, and she was also excited.
This, even if this is not a famine year, all year round, when you are willing to eat meat, it will be the New Year's Festival.
However, since I met the two sisters and brothers of the Han family two days ago, whenever I want to eat, I can get meat.
It's a famine, but it's better to eat than usual.
At that time, I didn't have anything serious for three days, and I thought that I couldn't get through this day.
Who would have thought that the good days seemed to be just beginning!
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Song and Sister-in-law Song worked together to deal with the two chickens, stomped them open with a kitchen knife, stuffed half of the chickens into the iron pot to boil the soup, and roasted the other three in the fire.
After a while, the soup was boiled, the meat was cooked, and everyone finished their last meal before entering the city.
A dreamless night.
The next day, after walking and stopping for two hours, they saw the wall of the Gunzhou Mansion appear in front of them in the distance.
