Chapter 63: Refugees
At this time, Lan Yi was hugged by him from behind, her face turned red all of a sudden, and her heart beat hard, as if she wanted to jump a heart out of her mouth.
I don't know if it was because the madwoman was too close to me and felt nauseous or something, Xuanyuan Ming felt a heartache again, as if the death disease was about to attack again.
Xuanyuan Ming's heart was uncomfortable, thinking of how this woman appeared mysteriously in front of him, luring him into a desperate situation several times, and almost killing himself. So he got angry, tore off Lan Yi's hand, and threw her off the kite. Without this crazy woman in front of me, my heart is really calm.
I saw Lan Yi screaming and falling off the cliff, and he was about to fall to pieces!
A kite rushed down from top to bottom, and a large hand stretched out from the kite to hold Lan Yi's hand tightly.
It's Ming—
Xuanyuan Ming thought about it. Although this woman is mysterious, she has also protected herself several times. It's maddening to hurt yourself and save yourself!
The voices of Master Lan and Mrs. Lan appeared in front of them again, and they said, Yi'er will entrust it to you, take good care of her-
So Xuanyuan Ming, who had just lost Lan Yi, was uneasy again, and flew down to save the woman.
The two of them flew up on the kite again, Xuanyuan Ming held the kite with his right hand, and held Lan Yi's hand tightly with his left hand. The two of them drew an extremely beautiful arc in the night sky, under the moonlight.
Then the two of them landed safely on the flat bottom of the plateau on the opposite side of the cliff, and Lan Yi lay on the ground with his hands outstretched, which really scared me to death just now. Fortunately, Ming saved me in the end.
On the flat bottom of the plateau, the first few refugees were packing up food. A Hurong man said to a woman next to him in Hurong dialect, what are they flying around in the air?
The Hu Rong woman glanced at it and said, "If the little lover is in love, don't worry about it."
So the two of them buried themselves again and silently packed up the food.
On this side, Xuanyuan Ming grabbed Lan Yi's neck with his hand again, and forced him to ask, "Why do you know that someone went to the northern suburbs to steal grain today, and why did you lure me here?"
Lan Yi's eyes were sincere, and she burst into tears, and said, "Trust me, I will not harm you." ”
Xuanyuan Ming was helpless, and he couldn't do anything with her. Is it a beating? What are the purposes of asking her?
Hey—
Xuanyuan Ming could only sigh and let go of Lan Yi.
He got up, thinking that he would do more to torture her in the future, even if he couldn't ask her motives. It would be good if she could make her retreat from the difficulties and stop following herself!
At this time, the Hu Rong boy walked over to Xuanyuan Ming and Lan Yi.
"Two benefactors, I will take you to the cave where we live, and ask you to rest. The Hu Rong boy greeted Xuanyuan Ming and Lan Yi.
So Xuanyuan Ming and Lan Yi followed the Hu Rong boy through the mountain path and came to a dark cave hidden in a hidden position in the barren mountain.
"You live here?" asked Xuanyuan.
"Now that I'm displaced, it's nice to have a place to live. The boy said, "We have several caves in this barren mountain, which can accommodate hundreds of us." ”
"How many hundred of you have?" asked Ming.
"Yes, we Hurong people are tribes, nomadic distribution in the northern desert. Later, in order to obtain more fertile land in the north, Ahan united the tribes to launch a war to the south. But later it was defeated by the Wuzhou Army and defeated. After the defeat, the Wuzhou Army continued to send troops north to harass our people, wash the blood of our tribe, and drive us out of the garrison we regarded as our home. The cave is inhabited by some of the surviving displaced people from the various tribes near the north. The Hu Rong boy led Xuanyuan Ming and Lan Yi into the cave, talking as he walked.
There are only a few torches in the cave, and in the faint light of the torches, it can be seen that it is a cave with a huge internal space.
At this time, hundreds of Hurong refugees sat on the ground, their faces were yellow and thin, their bodies were weakly crooked, and their eyes showed despair of fate after suffering and torture. The refugees sitting on the ground looked at Xuanyuan Ming and the others coming in with vacant eyes.
Hu Rong boy pushed through the crowd and created a path to lead Xuanyuan Ming and Lan Yi to the middle of the cave.
In the middle of the cave there is a not very vigorous bonfire, around which a circle of people are already seated.
The Hu Rong boy led Xuanyuan Ming and the two to sit by the bonfire. The boy said to Xuanyuanming, "Please wait, the rice soup will be delivered in a while, and thank you two adults for letting us live in the granary, and helping to bring back so much food, saving the lives of hundreds of our refugees." ”
"How long can those dozens of bags of rice last?" asked Xuanyuan Ming.
"Save it, about two weeks. The boy replied.
"What about two weeks from now?" asked Ming.
"When the time comes—let's go out and steal a little more. The boy replied.
But Xuanyuan Ming's heart was full of worry at this time, hundreds of people, only dozens of bags of rice, to eat for more than ten days, although they solved this crisis, but next time I really don't know how.
After a while, a few skinny refugees of both sexes came in with buckets. Starting from the periphery, they scooped a spoonful of rice soup into the bowl in front of each refugee. The refugees who received the rice soup closed their eyes and thanked the heavens with their mouths.
The person who decifed the rice soup walked to Xuanyuan Ming's side, and the iron spoon pulled out the bottom of the bucket for a long time before he pulled out half a spoonful. Enough is enough.
Then, these Hurong people folded their hands together, closed their eyes and faced the sky, their bodies swayed from side to side, and their mouths were probably saying some words of gratitude to the Hurong God.
After thanksgiving was completed, Chongren carefully picked up the bowl of rice soup and drank it carefully.
They drank quietly. Xuanyuan Ming saw that the Hu Rong man who poured rice soup into his mouth had hope in his eyes. There is a Hurong woman feeding rice soup to the children around her, and she lowers her head to kiss the soup that flows from the children's mouths.
How can life be so humble?
When a life cannot even solve the problem of hunger, then that life is as thin as paper, and even begins to belong to the body to which it is attached.
Xuanyuan Ming remembered something, so he asked Hu Rong boy, "At first, I asked you, Hu Rong and Beidi Ke had intended to join forces, and you said that you would come back and ask your Ah Da." ”
"Well, yes, I promised you that you will do it. The Hu Rong boy crossed his hands on his chest. Then he got up and went to find an old man sitting in the distance.
The two seemed to have had some quarrels, and the old man Hu Rong, who was hunched on his back, kept waving and refusing, while the boy Hu Rong struggled to persuade. The old man looked at Xuanyuan Ming suspiciously from time to time, and finally seemed to be convinced, turned around and whispered a few words to a young man beside him. Then the young man walked out of the cave.
At this time, the Hu Rong boy had returned to Xuanyuan Ming and sat down.
"What did you just say?" asked Xuanyuan.
"I asked Ah Da to invite Ah Da out, today you two saved our lives, Ah Da will be happy to see you. Hu Rong boy said.
"Then the old man doesn't agree?" Ming asked.
"Ah Da is physically inconvenient, and Ah Lao doesn't want to invite Ah Da out. The boy said.
"And now, have you finally convinced the old man?" asked Ming.
"Naturally. Ah Da will come out in a while. We, the Hurong people, will surely fulfill our promises. Hu Rong boy said.
"That old man also seems to have an identity, and I don't think you look like an ordinary Hurong person. Ming said.
"Before I fled, I was the little prince of the Zhenrong tribe, the largest tribe in Hurong. The Hu Rong boy said lightly, "But it's nothing now." Huh..."
