Chapter 411: The Road Is Difficult
Houzhai Village is a small village in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom in China. It was originally a very peaceful and leisurely village, but now it is in ruins and a scorched earth.
Seven days ago, a group of demons from nowhere washed the village in blood. The villagers fled in all directions, but unfortunately, the demons were cruel. The villagers who fled into the mountains were murdered.
Four days ago, the Jin army and several factions of righteous monks finally arrived. After a great battle, the village was destroyed, and the villagers who survived were buried by their relatives and friends, and left with the Jin army. They will build a new home at the foot of another mountain, thousands of miles away.
On the mountain bag to the east of Houzhai Village, the sun is shining down, and the mountain breeze blows away the black smoke that has been blowing for days. There are many new graves built on the mountain, and Lu Zhiguang and Zeng Bao'er have been standing in front of the two new graves for some time.
Zeng Bao'er had two tear streaks on her eyes. After two days of crying, she couldn't shed a single tear.
Lu Zhiguang, whose eyes were red, whispered: "Father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, Bao'er and I are leaving." You have a good rest here. ”
Zeng Baoer opened her mouth and only let out a few low and hoarse "ahhh
"Boa. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had been home that day, the four old men would have been fine. ”
Zeng Bao'er grabbed his hand and leaned her head into his arms. You don't have to speak, it's all in the words.
After burning the last dozen paper money, the two looked back at the home that had been moved to the ground, took a deep breath, and strode in the other direction.
The road ahead is difficult, but the destination is a place of hope and a future. Break off two branches on the side of the road and walk slowly forward like a cane.
Get off the trail and onto the road. Several fast horses galloped past them. On horseback were heralds dressed in casual clothes. The two leaned against the outermost side of the road, not daring to hinder their way.
When the demons attacked the village, all the things in the house were broken, and all the valuable things were robbed. The two were penniless at this time.
After Lu Zhiguang was selected by Xiang Xing, his cultivation path was extremely smooth. Their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. It's just that when the demons were fighting, they were all injured. At the moment, it is impossible to easily use the methods of cultivators. You can only wait until you reach your destination and heal your dark wounds before you can continue to practice.
Five days in the mountains. Drink some dew from the leaves when you are thirsty, and eat some wild vegetables from tree roots when you are hungry. On the sixth day, they entered the territory of Yunzhou. Crossing Yunzhou, on that side, is the destination of the two.
Yunzhou under the management of Yunwang is very prosperous. It's not as bitter as Zeng Bao'er's hometown.
Good mountains, good waters, and good scenery can't stand the crowds coming and going. Everywhere you look, there are people in a hurry. The merchant teams of various chambers of commerce, the fleeing crowds rushing to Yunzhou, and the army of King Yun were intertwined.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”
Behind him, the whip snapped. Lu Zhiguang escorted Zeng Bao'er off the road, and the two of them stepped into the mud ditch next to them on four feet, and the yellow muddy water reached their knees.
Looking up, a magnificent six-horse carriage passed by at great speed. On the carriage, a large purple flag was embroidered with the word "Qi".
Behind, a dozen carriages followed. The car is full of large and small boxes. Dozens of fierce guards rode on tall horses, running back and forth, driving down the people on the avenue one by one.
"It's the Qi family of Jianma Mansion. What a show!"
"What are they doing in Yunzhou? These big boxes and small boxes are doing business?"
"It's impossible! Look at the carriage in front of you, it should be the core figure of the Qi family. It's impossible to make a living on your feet!"
"Haven't you heard? Jianma Mansion has also suffered, and a large number of demons have robbed houses. In my opinion, the Qi family is going to ask King Yun for help. ”
The sound of discussion from others kept coming to my ears. Lu Zhiguang helped Zeng Baoer out of the yellow mud ditch.
"Bao'er, are you okay? It's a lot worse than we thought!"
I traveled for several days in a row, but I didn't eat well or sleep well. Zeng Bao'er's voice completely struck, and now she can't even pronounce a single sound.
After calming down, the two embarked on the journey again. It's been a hard journey. The money is penniless, don't say that you live in a hotel, and you don't even have a decent meal.
Ahead, a large city appeared in front of him. Lu Zhiguang looked at the past, and there were three big characters on the head of the city, "Yunzhou Mansion".
"Bao'er, look, we've arrived at Yunzhou Mansion. Hold on for a few more days and you'll be in Beijing! Bao'er?Bao'er...... You...... Don't scare me......"
Zeng Bao'er, who was leaning on Lu Zhiguang's body, closed her eyes, her breathing was very weak, and her lips were dry and purple. Even so, she relied on her instinctive consciousness to slowly move her steps and move forward with difficulty.
With such a look, the frightened Lu Zhiguang's face turned pale. threw away the branches and hugged Zeng Bao'er: "Bao'er, don't ...... Don't move...... Don't go......"
She didn't seem to hear, and still walked weakly.
"Bao'er......" Lu Zhiguang hugged her tightly, pushed her to the side slightly, put her down on the road, and then pillowed her head on his lap and called softly: "Bao'er...... Boa ...... Wake up...... We're almost there. ”
"Alas...... Evil......" A man in tattered clothes glanced at the two, shook his head, and walked on.
An aunt in her fifties walked over with a little girl of seven or eight years old. The aunt asked the little girl not to move, squatted down by herself, touched Zeng Bao'er's forehead, and pinched her heart a few times. Finally, with a sigh: "Alas...... No way, boy, leave her on the side of the road! ”
"No......" Lu Zhiguang, whose eyes were red, didn't know where he got the strength, and picked up Zeng Baoer, "I can't die, I can't die......"
Tears blurred his eyes, and there were only three big words on the head of the city between heaven and earth.
Lu Zhiguang has had times when he was proud, and he also had times when he was lonely and helpless. Over the years, no matter whether he is good or good, Zeng Baoer has never abandoned him and accompanied him. It was she who gave Lu Zhiguang infinite love. Her parents died, and there was only one relative left in the world.
Hugging Zeng Baoer tightly, Lu Zhiguang strode away. All the remaining True Elements were used to help them go faster and more steadily.
"Poof......
A large mouthful of blood spurted out and landed on Zeng Bao'er, staining her face and body red.
"Don't die...... No...... Don't ......"
There's only one thought in my head. "Poof......" is another big mouthful of blood, and if he doesn't stop, it is very likely that his inner mansion will be damaged and his soul will be scattered.
But at this time, who cares so much, entering Yunzhou Mansion and begging for the past one by one, it is better than spreading on the side of the road.
A large crowd gathered at the gates of the city. The guards were busy sweating. Everyone had to be checked before they could be put into the city.
The crowd was quiet, there was no pushing and noising, and there was no dissatisfaction with the long wait.
Because the Yunzhou Mansion did not close the city gate, all the people who were in distress would be able to enter the city. In a short period of time, the lives of those in distress can be guaranteed.
This has been going on for three days. In three days, the capital city of Guangyun Prefecture received hundreds of thousands of refugees. This daily cost is really astronomical.
The prince, who loves the people so much, seems to ask who will be dissatisfied?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. The head of Jianma Mansion asked to see King Yun, and they all got out of the way!"
The whip was flailing, and several people were struck and rolled on the ground in pain. The crowd was divided into two sides, allowing the Qi family to move forward.
"Stop!" the guards stood in front of the imposing carriage, "get out of the rear!"
"Bold!" the coachman whipped down.
The guard flashed to the side, dodged the horsewhip, and shouted, "Attack the guards at the city gate, you fucking want to attack Yunzhou Mansion City?"
"Whew...... ...... people around him cheered. This guard cow didn't take the Qi family in his eyes at all. With such a bull guard, Yunzhou Mansion City is absolutely incomparable!
The phrase "this ......" blocked the coachman's mouth.
Inside the car, a crisp voice sounded: "Show him this." ”
A golden sign was thrown into the driver's hands. Subsequently, he raised on the spot.
The guard looked at it with a look of embarrassment.
It turned out that the brand was Fu Xin's. The person sitting in the carriage was the eldest lady of the Qi family, Fu Xin's playmate when she was a child, and she returned to the Qi family after she was fourteen years old.
King Yun only has many sons, but only one daughter, Fu Xin. When Fu Xin first made a move, King Yun was afraid that the children in the family would bring his sister into a female man, so he found the eldest lady of the Qi family, who was born on the same day, the same year, the same month, and the same day as her, to play with.
The two girls grew up together, and the relationship was naturally very good. After the age of 14, when a girl grows up, she must have a private boudoir or a top-secret private space. The eldest lady of the Qi family went home. When she went back, Fu Xin gave her a sign, with which she could freely come out of the Yunwang Mansion.
"Can you go in?" a faint voice came out. The guards stepped aside.
The people around them did not look at each other, but they did not dare to say more. Fools can see that the woman in the carriage has a deep relationship with the Yunwang Mansion.
The city gate is not wide, and the magnificent carriage must slow down and move forward carefully. The carriage pulling the boxes followed unhurriedly.
As the carriage passed by the guards, the curtains were lifted, revealing a beautiful face. Look the guards up and down.
At this time, Lu Zhiguang had already run outside the city gate. He squeezed forward with all his strength: "Don't die...... Don't die...... Don't ......"
"Ah......" The other people around him saw his mouthful of blood, and the woman in his arms was covered in blood, and they all retreated in fright.
"Get out of the way, plague disease...... Don't run into these two!"
This time it was terrible, the crowd exploded. How far can everyone retreat, how far can they retreat. Just kidding, the plague is sick, if you are infected with it, you will die, and the gods will not be able to save it.
