Chapter 2: Absurdity

Zhu Yanqu hasn't slowed down yet, he has experienced so many things at once, and his heart is cramping.

She clutched her heart and squatted down in pain, her red eyes foggy again.

For a while, the child's low cry lingered in Yan Qingzhong's ears.

He immediately became a little flustered, squatting down, with sadness in his eyes, staring at the big and three small people who were squatting together and crying.

When he was at a loss, he saw Xi Quan coming, and hurriedly got up and trotted over, looking at the four people who were still crying with worried eyes.

"Adult ......"

Xi Quan raised his hand and motioned for Yan Qingzhong not to speak, but just looked at Zhu Yanqu and the four of them, and ordered him word by word.

"You and Shen Kai, take them back to the village and settle them."

Hearing this, Yan Qingzhong looked behind Xi Quan, although he had already seen those rough and barbaric natives.

But now the sky was bright, and their faces were still shocked when they saw it in their eyes.

The expression on his face was instantly serious, and from time to time he peeked at the tall, sick man and woman in animal skin, as well as the crying baby.

"Yes." Yan Qingzhong responded and left with those people.

-

Xi Quan walked to Zhu Yanqu's side, half-squatted down, and frowned at her:

"Girl, what are your difficulties?"

Zhu Yanqu raised his eyes and looked at him seriously:

"Don't you think it's strange that so many of you have come to this nameless place?"

"Strange?" Xi Quan's eyes were slightly dim, and his voice was low.

"The world is so big, there are no wonders, and now that the people of my Song Kingdom are here, it can be regarded as a refuge, and I think it is to help the people of my Song Kingdom live a worry-free life.

There are also girls who come here with young children. Just now, the 200 or so barbarian natives who were resettled, although it was difficult for us to communicate in language, did not prevent us from surviving together in the future. ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Yanqu tone is angry.

Thinking of the thing called the Treasure Pavilion, it is also ridiculous.

A hundred years later, it must be because of the development of science and technology that she owned, how could such a precious thing be put on her, an orphan girl living in an agricultural country.

"Absurd or not, living is the first thing, as the old saying goes, it's better to die than to live."

Zhu Yanqu's eyes were angry, and he saw the man in front of him wearing tattered clothes, but he couldn't stop his noble temperament.

Xi Quan's gentle eyes looked at the three children who wiped their tears.

The children are young, but their eyes are firm, and they are all standing by Zhu Yanqu's side.

Zhu Yanqu got up.

The other party also got up at the same time, and looked down with warm eyes.

"Girl, in Xia Xiquan."

Zhu Yanqu held Gu Huayue in one hand, and the strap of the basket in the other, which was full of dry food and a change of clothes for the four of them.

The person before the meeting was like this, Zhu Yanqu slowed down his tone, "Zhu Yanqu." ”

Seeing his aunt move, Zhu Xingguo's eyes quickly flashed from Xi Quan's face, and he hurriedly took Zhou Dongsheng's hand and followed her side.

-

"My lord, they are all settled, and it's on the north slope." Yan Qingzhong was at the entrance of the village, and when he saw Xi Quan coming back, he was busy in front of him.

"Well, the girl and her children are placed on the southern slope, near my residence."

Zhu Yanqu's brows furrowed.

After watching the man leave, he took a few steps and coughed heavily.

Yan Qingzhong also looked at the back of Xi Quan's departure, and his face was sad.

"Girl, my lord, he suffers from asthma, and he has been seeking a way to survive for us for the past two months, and he has made asthma, hey!"

Yan Qingzhong saw that Zhu Yanqu didn't respond, so he changed the topic:

"Come with me, the southern slope is on the high side, close to the water source, and it is convenient to get water."

"Well, thank you!"

Zhu Yanqu followed to the south slope, and along the way, there were traces of cleaning on the grass road under his feet.

Looking around, the simple bamboo houses are arranged in an orderly manner.

Yan Qingzhong observed the words and looks, and hurriedly explained to Zhu Yanqu:

"Girl, the village is very deserted now, and when everyone comes back at noon, it will not be so deserted."

Zhu Yanqu looked back, his expression was very light, and he looked at Yan Qingzhong's sadness when he said this.

Yan Qingzhong said that he was moved, and sniffed slightly.

He smiled wryly and pointed to a small bamboo house:

"Girl, let's settle down in this bamboo house for the time being."

"Thank you!" Zhu Yanqu responded softly.

-

Zhu Yanqu's gentle eyes looked at the three children sitting side by side in the grass shed, and reminded again:

"Remember, be careful."

The three children nodded in unison, tears falling at the same time.

Zhu Yanqu stretched out his hand and stroked the thin cheeks of the three children:

"We don't know where we've come, we can't go to Xuzhou, and we can't find Commander Xu, let's commit ourselves here first."

Zhu Xingguo stretched out his little hand full of chilblains, his fingertips were cold, and he pulled Zhu Yanqu's fingers.

Zhu Yanqu saw that the chilblains on his hands were a little more serious.

"Rejuvenate the country."

Look at Gu Huayue and Zhou Dongsheng again.

"With me, don't be afraid."

The words fell, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the three of them bowing their heads in unison.

Zhu Yanqu let go of Zhu Xingguo's hand and opened a layer of blue and gray cloth on the back basket.

Take out the kang cake inside and divide it into three portions.

"Xingguo, Huayue, Dongsheng, you eat first."

The three children reached out to take it, and their little earth-colored faces spread into gentle smiles.

Zhu Xingguo saw his aunt turn around, went to tidy up the back basket, and peeked at her every move.

_

The bamboo hut was blocked by a thatched windfence, and suddenly there was a sound outside.

Zhu Yanqu looked back and saw Yan Qingzhong outside through the gap, with a solemn expression.

Yan Qingzhong took the initiative to speak: "Girl, in the bamboo basket are some household utensils with rough workmanship, as well as firewood. ”

Yan Qingzhong put a piece of wolf meat wrapped in banana leaves about ten catties on top of the bamboo basket.

"The wolf meat was asked to be brought to you by Lord Xi."

Through the dense thatched fence, Yan Qingzhong couldn't see the situation inside, pursed his lips in fear, and lowered his voice:

"My lord said that the wolf skin is ready, and I will bring it to you."

Yan Qingzhong hurriedly finished speaking, and then pulled out his legs and left.

He always felt that the gunpowder-smelling fire gun was behind the thatched fence.

-

Zhu Yanqu waited for no movement outside, removed the thatched fence, and looked at the rough bamboo basket.

The calm and wary gaze fell on the wolf meat wrapped in banana leaves.

The smell of meat emanates from inside.

Zhu Yanqu thought that a dark green eye appeared in the jungle.

and a low wheezing, whimpering wolf in his throat.

The wild nature of the wolf, and the attitude of attacking people.

Without thinking about it, he pulled the trigger and killed the four wolves.

It doesn't look like it's tamed.

Zhu Yanqu raised his fingertips and gently touched the cold banana leaves.

Zhu Yanqu used flint and steel to build a fire, turned over the small three-legged pottery tripod with poor workmanship, and went to the stream to get water.

The wolf meat is cut into small pieces with a dagger for self-defense and put into a pot to cook.

The flickering of the flames, the sound of boiling water in the pot, and the scene of Zhu Xingguo skimming off the floating blood foam with bamboo slices.

Zhu Yanqu came back to his senses leisurely, because he had been holding a movement for a long time, his spirit was tense, and his calves were also a little numb.

Zhu Yanqu slowed down, and stepped forward to take the bamboo piece in Zhu Xingguo's hand: "I'll come." ”

Zhu Xingguo nodded, stepped aside, and sat quietly.

looked at Zhu Yanqu obediently, and stopped talking.
