Yingbao was also very anxious. After thinking about it, she ran to Luyuan.
Touched Youyou's neck and asked: "Youyou, can you take me to chase my father?"
Youyou blinked her big eyes and looked at her, seeming to agree silently.
Yingbao took out a leather saddle from the cave, tied it on Youyou, and climbed onto the deer's back by stepping on the railing: "Let's go! Find daddy."
Youyou seemed to understand her words and ran away with four hooves.
Yoyou is now very tall and can almost catch up with mules and horses, but Yingbao is already ten years old and it is still difficult for her to stand up.
Avoiding the villagers, Yingbao hurriedly hurried and didn't see his father and Jiang Wu, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
An hour later, Yingbao stopped to feed Youyou water.
Seeing that Youyou was very tired, he simply took it into the cave, put on a dusty ramie shorts, put on a bamboo hat, and walked forward quickly.
After walking for half an hour, she released Youyou again and rode on her own.
In this way, towards evening, we finally arrived at the dock outside the county town.
There is a small boat at the dock, preparing to leave.
Ying Bao had sharp eyes and immediately saw two figures on the boat. They were Hu Zi and his younger brother Jiang Wu.
Yingbao didn't care about anything, so she immediately accepted Youyou and ran towards the ship quickly.
While running, he shouted: "Jiang Wu! Jiang Wu! Stop!"
Jiang Wu also saw his sister and subconsciously hid in the cabin.
Ying Baoke was so angry that he rushed out and landed on the edge of the boat, regardless of the fact that the sampan had already pulled away.
“Ouch! Why are you so reckless, little lady?” The boatman immediately came over to pull her away.
Regardless of the pain all over her body, Ying Bao hurriedly said to the boatman: "Hurry to the shore and let them get off the boat!"
Hu Zi and Jiang Wu stuck their heads out and shouted in unison: "Don't dock, boatman, please sail quickly, we paid for it."
The boatman was in trouble, so he had to punt and continue moving forward.
Ying Bao was so angry that she ran over and grabbed Jiang Wu and Hu Zi by their ears, "Do you know what you are doing? Going to Jingzhou? Just this small boat? It capsized in a storm!"
The boatman was unhappy and defended with a stern face: "What are you talking about, little lady? I go to Jingzhou several times a year, why do you say something so unlucky?"
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.” Zhang Min emerged from the cabin: “I originally wanted to go to Jingzhou alone, Jiang Wu and Hu Zi must follow.”
He then said to Jiang Wu and Hu Zi: "Jiang Wu, Hu Zi, you go back with Ying Bao."
“I won’t reply!” Huzi refused.
“A man’s words are hard to follow! I won’t reply!” Jiang Wu covered his ears with his hands and took a few steps back, farther away from his sister.
Ying Bao laughed angrily at them: "Well, since you don't reply, I will go with you."
There is something about the fall of Jingzhou in the book in my mind. It says that the governor of Jingzhou held on for two months, led more than a thousand loyal people in the city, and tens of thousands of people helped him. In the end, all the help was exhausted, the city was destroyed, and he fought a **** battle with the bandits. After three days and three nights, he died.
This Jingzhou prefect should be Zhang Min's father.
The book also says that after the Jurchens destroyed Jingzhou City, they massacred the city and slaughtered everyone in the city.
Prefect Zhang did not wait for reinforcements until his death. After that, the Zhang family was exterminated by the emperor.
It’s really sad to think about it.
Ying Bao glanced at Senior Brother Zhang sympathetically and sighed.
Forget it, just go with them yourself, and if anything goes wrong, put them away.
Hmm, let’s put it in the new bamboo cage that daddy made.
My father was afraid that what happened last time would happen again, so he made a bamboo cage without windows in the cave. If he met a bad guy, he would throw him into the cage and cover it with a lid. No matter how strong the person was, he would be trapped. I can only be a trapped beast.
The bamboo cage is made of thick moso bamboo, with a layer of reed mat surrounding it. Once people enter, it will be completely dark and they will not be able to see anything. "You're going too? How can this be done?" Zhang Min scratched his head.
Having two imps is enough trouble, plus a Yingbao...
"If you don't go back, I will follow." Ying Bao sat down on the deck of the boat unceremoniously.
Zhang Min glanced at his junior sister guiltily, and finally fell silent.
Originally, he went to the county town to find his master, but his master was not there, and the people at the medical office didn't know where he and his senior brother had gone.
Having no other choice, Zhang Min wanted to go to Jingzhou alone to see the situation, but Hu Zi and Jiang Wu followed him resolutely.
Before leaving the city, he had handed over the Jiang family's carriage to Jiang Ji's specialty shop, and then hired a donkey cart to arrive at the dock outside the city.
It was also a coincidence that he happened to encounter a large fishing boat, so Zhang Min chartered the fishing boat and headed for Jingzhou.
The boatman saw that the children had stopped making noise, so he quickly punted the boat and let his wife and son row the boat upstream.
Seven or eight days later, the large fishing boat entered Jingzhou.
Yingbao looked at the shore and realized something was wrong.
Many people were walking south with their families and families. When they saw boats on the river, they waved desperately.
The boatman also saw the problem and looked solemn.
"Young man, we can't go any further. Look, you don't know what's going on in front of you. Why are you all fleeing?" The boatman didn't dock the boat, but stood on the boat and shouted to the shore: "What's wrong with you?" Is the barbarian calling?"
When we docked at the dock earlier, we had heard that the Jurchens were invading, but the imperial court had not sent troops for a long time.
Unexpectedly, a large number of people fled before they reached Jingzhou City.
One of the people answered him: "Yes, now the prefect has ordered the city gate to be sealed, so we can only go south."
“Block the city gate?” Zhang Min became more and more anxious and quickly urged the boatman to sail.
The boatman had no choice but to sail for a while, and then refused to sail.
Zhang Min thought for a moment, paid him the reward, and then he and his junior sisters went ashore.
The four of them went against the fleeing crowd and soon arrived at the gate of Jingzhou City.
At this time, the door was closed tightly, and there were still many people outside who wanted to enter.
Zhang Min squeezed forward and said loudly: "I have something important to report to the prefect, please open the door and let me in!"
The soldiers guarding the city ignored him and fired arrows at him.
Ying Bao knew that this would definitely not work, and immediately called Zhang Min: "Second Senior Brother, let's find a place to stay first, and then come back and take a look."
Zhang Min also had this intention, so the four of them withdrew several miles and sat down to rest in a dense forest.
Yingbao took out the dry food and distributed it to his younger brother and Huzi, and also gave some to the second senior brother.
The four of them had eaten, and it was getting dark now.
“Let’s rest first and go see it again tomorrow morning.” Yingbao took out some plants from his bag and gave them to his younger brother and Huzi.
The weather is hot now, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild. If you don't pay attention, you will be bitten all over your face.
Jiang Wu took the mint leaves, chewed them in his mouth, spit them out and applied them on his arms and legs.
Ying Bao shook out another cloak and let several people sleep in the cloak.
She herself took out another black cloak, covered her head, and huddled next to Jiang Wu.
When they were all asleep, Ying Bao quietly entered the cave and started to pack things.
There are two bows and arrows, but the arrows are all made of bamboo and have little damage and are of no use.
