The mountains and forests are getting steeper and steeper, and there are cliffs everywhere.
This place is also very far from Lin'an City. Bai Wutong looked at it from the mountain, and the refugees with their families and their mouths were densely packed. It was estimated that the officers and soldiers would not have the time to catch them, so they infiltrated the official road which was easier to walk.
One of them carried a dagger, the other an axe, but no one dared to approach them.
It's almost autumn, and the weather is still hot.
Walking in the crowd, I can't feel the slightest bit of coolness.
Bai Wutong took a few sips of water and handed the water bag to Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao drank it loudly, and the people around him swallowed their dry throats.
They haven't had water for almost two days, and their mouths burst open.
Now on this road, it is more difficult to drink water than to eat rations.
With a "thump", the skinny old lady fell to the ground uncontrollably.
She said weakly in a hoarse voice: "Water, water..."
The young man with sunken cheeks hugged the old lady with red eyes: "Grandmother, you will be in Beiyun City soon. When you enter the city and find your uncle, you will have water and porridge to eat. Just hold on..."
"I want water now...Give me water..." The old lady stretched out her hand tremblingly, her eyes wandering.
The people around are not used to it, and it is normal to see dead people on the road to escape.
They glanced numbly, and looked away like a walking corpse.
Huang Zhong suddenly thought of something, put the old lady down, ran a few steps with all his strength, and before Bai Wutong could react, he knelt down in front of them with a plop.
"Master, miss, I read and read, I passed the exam last year as a scholar, and I work as a check-in clerk in the town. Please, give me some water, I'm willing to sell myself as a slave and be a cow and a horse for you!"
Chu Tianbao dared to drink such a big mouthful of water, and there must be water in his luggage. As long as he could save his grandmother, Huang Zhong would do anything.
He was afraid that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao would not refuse, so he slammed on the ground again and again, and his forehead was soon stained with blood.
Afraid that Bai Wutong and the others would have concerns in their hearts, they sat up eagerly, and when they opened their bags, they would write a letter of prostitution, "I'll write a letter now, and you are my masters now."
Bai Wutong glanced at the dying old lady, remembered her grandmother, took out another water bag in the bag, poured a bowl of water out, "Take it."
Huang Zhong was overjoyed, and as soon as he picked up the water, the crumbling refugee immediately turned into a beast and swooped over. Before he could touch Huang Zhong, he was kicked out by Chu Tianbao.
Huang Zhong didn't care to thank him, so he ran to the old lady's side.
The water was fed to the mouth of the old lady. She stared at her cloudy eyes, but she lost focus.
Huang Zhong trembled as he probed the old lady's breath, and suddenly burst into tears, "Grandmother...grandmother...wuwuwu...you drink water, there is water..."
Bai Wutong sighed helplessly, human beings are too small in the face of disasters.
Now, now is just a little better than the last days.
He cried so sadly that God was infected.
"Boom-"
A thunder pierced through the sky, and the clouds were densely covered. In a short while, it started to rain heavily.
The refugees knelt on the ground and raised their hands and shouted, "God's eyes are open."
The rain hit them and flowed into their mouths, making them live a few more days.
For many people, this rain came too late, too late.
The storm was violent, the road was muddy, and it was impossible to continue.
It was getting dark too, Bai Wutong had to take Chu Tianbao to find a place to stay temporarily.
Fortunately, they were lucky.
After walking down the mountain road for a while in the rain, I saw an abandoned village.
This village is very large, and many refugees have already entered the houses in front of it.
Bai Wutong didn't want to crowd with them, so he took Chu Tianbao to a house in the most remote corner.
There was no one in the room, Bai Wutong breathed a sigh of relief.
They were soaked all over, and their burdens were naturally soaked.
Bai Wutong, however, took out dry clothes from his bag and handed them to Chu Tianbao, "Change them quickly, be careful of getting sick."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Tianbao quickly stripped himself naked, quickly put it on, and took a peek at Bai Wutong who was about to change.
Bai Wutong turned around and threw a cloak on his head, "Don't tear it off."
"Okay, ma'am."
Bai Wutong put on his clothes, but Chu Tianbao was still wearing his cloak and didn't move.
Bai Wutong took off her hijab, and caught off guard, she met a pair of big smiling eyes.
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes quickly shifted to the ground.
There was some wood on the ground. She picked up many piles of ground, made a fire with flint, took out a small pot, got clean water from the water bag, and prepared to cook.
Chu Tianbao stirred the white rice porridge with a spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pot, while Bai Wutong was baking the wet things.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came closer and closer in the rain, and finally, they stopped at the door of the house.
Bai Wutong quickly stood up, put the white rice porridge that was being boiled aside, and then stood at the window with the axe clenched, and peeked out.
In the pattering rain, a burly man was carrying a baby who was still in swaddling on his back, and tied his horse under the big locust tree in the yard.
Bai Wutong saw that he was gently holding the child into his arms, and the axe in his hand was lowered. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Lin Yue held the child in one hand and the sword in the other, and slammed open the door aggressively.
"Bang" sound.
The weak child was frightened and started to cry.
But the man ignored it, and looked at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao in the room with vigilant eyes.
When Yu Guang fell on the white rice porridge in the pot, his dark eyes flashed a light, and he said to the guarding Bai Wutong: "Girl, sell me this pot of porridge!" He grabbed it, but put his hand into his arms and took out a one-hundred tael silver note and put it in front of Bai Wutong.
Just one hundred taels of silver bills!
This is definitely a local tyrant!
Anyway, she still has rice, so she can cook another pot.
Bai Wutong took the silver note cautiously, and Lin Yue took the white rice porridge and walked to a corner, holding the crying child in front of him, ready to feed him rice porridge.
Lin Yue was obviously a novice, holding the white rice porridge in front of the child's wide-open mouth and having no idea what to do.
Then, his obvious appeal for help fell on Bai Wutong's face.
It is probably believed that women are born with it.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across his rough face, and he lowered his voice and said to Bai Wutong, "Can you help me feed my young master?"
Turns out it wasn't the father... Judging from the satin material of the child's swaddle, the golden horse under the locust tree, their identities should be very unusual.
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment, and Lin Yue stood up and took out another one hundred taels in front of Bai Wutong.
"..." As expected of a rich man!
Bai Wutong raised his eyebrows, took the bank note, and reached out to take the poor child over.
At the same time, Lin Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.
