"It's going to rain on a day like this. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The sun was setting, two shadows were drawn out of the red light and walking on the ground, the old man stood in place with a medicine basket on his back and looked at the mountains to the west, the light came from the skyline, shining on his face, and a young man next to him covered his mouth and nose, waving his arms to drive away something.

Buzzing around with the sound of flies flapping their wings, not far from here, a rotting and swollen corpse covered with maggots, such a scene, the old man and even the young people around him probably didn't feel much, after all, there were countless corpses left on this land.

“..... If we don't clean it up, the epidemic will be coming. "Zhou Dong has been studying martial arts for most of his life, and he is clear about the pathology, but now that the weather is getting warmer in spring, the corpses are beginning to decay faster, and the plague will breed and spread...... He didn't dare to think any further about what might happen. In the past few days since the Jurchen retreated, a large area in the north has been destroyed, and the power of the government that can operate is very small.

The old man stood in the remnant sun and thought for a moment, and then the young man called him twice in front of him before he took another step forward and continued walking.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-who

The remnant sun hung on the top of the distant mountain, a touch of red rendered the sky, and the old crow fluttered its wings and stayed on the trunk of a half-scorched tree, glaring at the two people who came over, and crying fiercely. On the side of the road was a small slope, and above the ruins, there were still several ruined houses, and near the edge of the road, rows of wooden stakes stood tall and covered with skulls with painful looks, most of them shriveled, and the bridges of their eyes and noses had collapsed.

When the Jurchens went south, most of the people in the village were reluctant to give up their share of the land, and stayed with the idea that the Jurchens could not look down on them, or they procrastinated and hesitated, and when the soldiers swept over, they couldn't dodge, and often stayed here forever.

The young man who followed the old man had slightly red eyes, and he clenched his fist and raised it in the air, "If I have martial arts, I must make these barbarians look good....... See if I don't kill them. ”

Retracting his gaze from a child's head, Zhou Tong closed his eyes with a sigh and shook his head: "The old man has taught several disciples in his life, but he really wants to talk about courage...... Who can face the Jurchen iron hooves that are overwhelming? They can't do it, these rivers and lakes often talk about blood bravery, chivalry, and the old man can be regarded as understanding, they think that being fierce and ruthless is blood bravery? When the Jurchens came south, they didn't see them go up one by one, the family has a big business, there are many rules, and there are many rules, so they are tied, not to mention blood and bravery. ”

The old man's words were passed in the red sunset, and the young man thought for a while, followed behind with his steps and asked, "Master Zhou.... So what do you mean by courage?"

"........" In silence, the old man shook his head.

Suddenly an old crow flew from the tree, and then the black birds were startled one by one, and circled in the red sky, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth could be heard in the distance.

"Master Zhou.... Could it be that the Jurchen cavalry hasn't gone yet?" The young man's face turned pale with fright when he heard the movement, and his legs trembled a few times, and he pulled Zhou Dong to hide in the woods over there.

The old man waved his hand, but had no intention of moving. When the young man saw that he could not move the other party, the sound of the horse's hooves approached, and he immediately left the old man and went into hiding alone in the ruined village.

The rumbling sound spread, or just passing by, Zhou Tong raised his eyes and looked over, his eyesight was excellent, it was a cavalry team of hundreds of people, judging from the armor, it was not the cavalry of the Jurchens, it seemed that the court finally moved.

I was relieved.

Pulling the medicine basket on his back, he summoned the young man who was hiding, glanced at the other party, and took a step on the way home, "Do you understand what the old man said before?"

The young man nodded shamefully, and as the old man disappeared in the remnant sun, he went into the mountains.

The moment the horses' hooves stomped fiercely on the ground and splashed dust, one of the knights let out a 'whoop', slowed down his horse and stopped, looking at the village with the collapsed walls on the other side. Then a rider came over to him with a Baling copper stick on his back, and looked at the village with Lin Chong's gaze, "There seems to be someone over there..... There are too few living people to see in this area, so why don't you go and have a look? ”

"It's an old man, it seems to be carrying a person, it should be a young man. Lin Chong shook his head with his mount, "Don't disturb others, it's not easy for an old man to survive, even if we pass, others may mistakenly think that the Jurchens are killing again, and we won't see anyone at that time." ”

Luan Tingyu sighed first, then stroked the horse's mane, revealing a smile, "We have been looking for a few days, and the other teams have not found any corpses similar to Madame's same costumes, which should be lucky, maybe Madame was lost after the Jurchen retired from the army." ”

"I hope so....."

There was a little more bad premonition in his tone, Lin Chong understood better than anyone in the East Factory what it was like to suddenly lose his beloved, and he tolerated like him, and he also went to Liangshan with a hatred at the beginning, and avenged Zhenniang by raising the banner. And now it is the ruthless Admiral of Dongchang, and it is difficult for him to imagine what will happen in the future.

If you can't find Madame, the Admiral will go crazy, and the crazy eunuch, especially the eunuch who holds great power, is the misfortune of the whole world.......

"Don't talk anymore, hurry up and find Madame-"

Lin Chong snorted lightly, turned his horse, galloped up to catch up with the team and continued to search north.

The last rays of light were collected on the back side of the mountain, and thunder rumbled in the sky, and soon after, heavy rain began.......

Whoa, whoa, whoa--

The rain curtain fell on the mountain, the mist was spread, the raindrops splashed on the leaves, the rugged and bumpy mountain road became slippery and muddy, Zhou Dong wiped the rain on his face, and the vision extended along the mountain road, the dilapidated village in front of him was lit up with a little firelight, and many figures ran back and forth in the firelight, and occasionally there was an anxious sound faintly coming.

"What's going on...."The old man frowned, muttered, handed the medicine basket to the young man, waited at his feet, pushed out the mud for a moment, the figure suddenly accelerated through the rain curtain, broke the splash, and entered the village in a few breaths, where the original new grass hut collapsed in the heavy rain and mountain wind, and the people in the village were busy snatching out the buried people, but fortunately the grass hut was only a few logs and dead grass, only one woman was unfortunately smashed by the wood, but it was not fatal, and was sitting under another eaves to rest.

Then, a figure hurried past him, and in the eyes of the old man, his back was a little thin, and he ran through the heavy rain to the injured woman and squatted down, spitting the chewed herbs in his mouth into the palm of his hand and applying it to the wound on the other man's forehead, to stop the bleeding.

After a while, the woman tore off a strip of cloth on the cuff and bandaged the woman, and when she looked at the old man, she raised her arm on tiptoe and waved, and ran over, crying out sweetly.

"Daddy!"

Zhou Tong nodded approvingly, the old man who was not smiling rarely showed a smile at this time, used wide cuffs to shield the woman from the rain, and returned to the eaves where he was sitting.

A stone was used as a stool, Zhou Tong sat down, and on a simple small table, there was only half a hard steamed bun, which was obviously eaten by the woman before.

"Daddy.... Eat it, it was specially left for you by Fleur. In the darkness, the woman's eyes blinked brightly, and she chewed something in her mouth, as if she was eating.

In such an environment, everyone actually has no requirements for eating, half a piece of cold steamed buns, or when Zhou Tong went out to look for it before, he found it, and left it for the woman when he went out yesterday, and he will be able to make do with it outside.

"Fleur..... Why don't you eat it?" the old man stared at the half of the steamed bun.

"I'm eating.... Daddy, eat it!"

The woman urged.

The old man frowned and got up and walked over, the woman over there was a little flustered, as if she was hiding something, and there was no place to hide in coarse cloth clothes, but she was still discovered by Zhou Dong.

"For the past two days, you've been eating this—"

In front of the woman, a small piece, a small piece...... The steamed bun is accompanied by a few leaves, and what I hold in my hand is a small cluster of steamed buns in a leaf to stuff into my mouth, chew, and finally swallow.

He looked at the old man in front of him and smiled, "Hmm... You can eat it this way. ”

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the rain curtain went down the thatched grass into the hut and dripped on the ground, ticking and ticking.....

......

"Good boy..... You don't deserve to suffer like that. ”

The old man put the remaining half of the stiff steamed bun in the woman's hand, and his eyes were full of love.
