Liangzhou, Anding County, Pengyang County

After walking for a day, everyone in the second room of the Qin family was so tired that they didn't want to move.

"Daddy—daddy—" The child's sickly moans rang out in the broken straw hut.

Cai touched her daughter Qin Yun's hot forehead and said to her husband, "Erlang, you can hug the child." "The child is uncomfortable and keeps calling for his father.

Qin Yan wiped his face, then went to the broken window to grab a handful of snow and rubbed his hands, and then put his hands on his body to cover the heat before reaching out and hugging his daughter.

He patted his daughter's back and coaxed, "Yun'er is good, Dad is here." ”

He knew that he cared less about his daughter these days, but he couldn't help it.

Qin Yan hugged his daughter's small body, he buried his face, two days after his father died, the holy decree of condemnation was issued, and their family was escorted to exile in Pingzhou on the spot. Even the bones of his father Qin Yue could not be sent back to Chang'an, so they could only choose a place with open scenery in the north and bury them, and their Qin family would ...... Beggars again.

Today, he and his wife, his mother, and four brothers and daughters-in-law are on the road with five children, the eldest of whom is only seven years old.

It was cold, and the safety of a big man, three female dependents, and five children fell on him, and he had to tense his nerves.

In addition, the fourth brother and sister were alone with two children, and he had to pay more attention to those two children, they were not only his nephews, but also the only blood left by his two younger brothers, and he couldn't let them have anything to lose. His three children can only make his wife and mother worry more.

The incident came so quickly that they didn't have time to prepare.

Fortunately, the eldest brother has made preparations and corresponding arrangements, and now Ma Jin has brought twenty or thirty brothers to protect them either openly or secretly.

But the help provided by Ma Jin is also very limited, and they can only provide some help secretly, such as secretly giving them some food, or warm clothing, and guarding their safety. But the main danger they face is bad weather, and the environment, which they can hardly help.

Every day, these adults not only have to carry their own luggage, but also have to hang or drag at least one child to walk in the snow, which is really hard.

From the north to Pingzhou, more than 4,000 miles, he really didn't know if their group, especially the children, could arrive in Pingzhou with all their tails. He was under a lot of pressure and was tormented inside.

At the beginning of the escort, they also made a lot of efforts, and gave a lot of benefits to the guards and messengers, and in the end they only got the convenience of being free of shackles. This convenience is about the same as none. There are so many children in their group, as well as female dependents and elderly people, and the other party is not afraid of him running away at all. He won't run either.

In fact, for the secret protection of Ma Jin and others, Wu Zhisi also has points in his heart, he respects the Qin family for resisting foreign enemies in the north for many years, as well as the dedication to the north, plus Ma Jin and they can't do too much, so he will turn a blind eye.

Now that the child is sick and has no medicine, Qin Yan asked Wu Zhisi for help, he knew that it was impossible to invite Langzhong, so he could only ask them to try some herbs. Ma Jin and they can't help.

In the northwest area, there are few Langzhong, and they are now in the wilderness, and they may not be able to find a Langzhong within a radius of one or two hundred miles.

Cai broke off the herbs given by Wu Abbot and boiled them in a broken clay pot, and while adding to the fire, she asked her husband, "Do we really want to give Yun'er this medicinal juice?" "I don't know if this herb is suitable or not.

Qin Yan didn't speak, if he could, he really hoped to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for his daughter, instead of using medicine casually.

Ma Jin will also be very depressed, he knows that the little girl of the second master's family is in a critical condition at the moment, but he also sent someone out to find it, there is really no Lang Zhong in the vicinity of thirty or forty miles.

At this moment, two people quietly touched him, sensing the movement, Ma Jin quickly turned around, and found that the person who came was Zhou Da and a brother he brought, very surprised, "Why are you two?" What about the others? ”

"It's me, the others are elsewhere, how is the situation on the second master's side?"

"The situation is average, and now the second master's daughter is feverish. By the way, how did you get here? You go north, what should I do over there? ”

Zhou Da replied, "The prince has other arrangements over there, and we are of little use there, so he asked us to go north to assist you." Now it seems that the prince's concerns are justified. You really don't take good care of people. ”

"Zhou Da, what do you mean by that?" When the child is sick, they are also anxious, okay?

"Literally, don't say anything, let's quietly send the medicine to the second master first." As he spoke, Zhou Da pulled out the wooden hairpin on his head. Before leaving, the sixth master quietly sent it and told him that there were pills in it to treat the child's cold, illness and fever, and he could use it if necessary.

After Zhou Da took off the wooden hairpin, he identified the scratches on the top and cut it off with a dagger, revealing a pill the size of a peanut kernel inside.

"Yes, this is the way to hide medicine. Zhou Da, when did you become so smart? ”

Zhou Da said arrogantly, "I've always been smarter than you." ”

"Trick the devil into it!" Ma Jin snorted angrily, and then said, "You wait for me, I'll send the medicine to the second master first." ”

After Ma Jin left, Zhou Da summoned his deputy, "Can you tell me how you usually take care of the second master?" ”

Qin Yan took the medicine quietly sent by Ma Jin, and learned that Zhou Da went north, and this medicine was prepared by his sixth brother and sister who had never met before, which was very unexpected.

After the horse had gone in, he quietly scraped some powder with his fingernails and put it in his mouth, and after a quarter of an hour, there was no poison reaction, and he fed the pill to his daughter. The couple then took care of their daughter for half the night, and the daughter finally got rid of her fever. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts full of gratitude and curiosity about their six siblings.

Let's say that Zhou Da is here, and when Ma Jin comes back from delivering medicine, what he receives is the other party's contemptuous eyes.

Ma Jin is inexplicable, look at the deputy, the whole person is bowing his head in shame.

Zhou Da: "That's how you take care of people?" ”

Or else? They also know that they can't take care of it properly, and they are also very anxious, the key is that the second master is guarded by the detainees and messengers, and they are not good at deviating.

Ma Jin said the difficulties here, "In the charge and the errand officer, the others are good to say, there is a thorn surnamed Lin, who was once under the command of the fourth master, because of violating military regulations, he was punished by the fourth master, and the other party has always held a grudge, especially likes to pick thorns, and it is not easy to speak." ”

"If we help too much, he will deliberately toss the second master and them, and the little boy will be whipped by him." This is one of the reasons why they are tied down.

Zhou Da sneered, picky? Still love to toss people? I'm afraid that he thinks he has a long life?

Zhou Da's deputy naturally understood what his head was sneering at.

They heard that before the prince and the others joined them, there was a guy named Zhao Long, who was still a deputy charge, and it was also very difficult to deal with, and before they could meet them, they died, and they died quietly, and they couldn't find out the cause of death.

Why, when the servants escorted the exiles to the place of exile, only one of the exiles was allowed to die, but the prisoners were not allowed to die? Can't die as a servant?

"You stupid pigs, just doing this and watching the little boy being pumped?"

Ma Jin's eyes widened, "Who are you scolding?" You can do it, you can come. ”

"Okay, I'll come, I'll come! Just keep your neck on your back and see. Zhou Da let out bold words.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Jin asked.

"You'll find out later." Zhou Da sold a pass.
