Chapter 187

As soon as Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tieshu's cart emptied, they both relaxed a lot and didn't have to push things anymore.

Liu Yuanwai originally meant to let them throw away their carts and put them on the road so as to save their physical strength. However, they were reluctant to give up. This cart was also worth a little money in the village. Moreover, they didn't need any strength to push the empty cart. If they could pull it up, they would pull it up.

Li Hongmei doesn't have to drive the carriage. She has driven many days, but her skills in driving the carriage have not improved. Liu sent a servant to help Li Hongmei drive the carriage. Li Hongmei just sat in the back.

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju are unwilling to take the carriage. Anyway, their men are pulling the car on foot. They simply get off the car, which is better than holding their feet numb in the car.

When we passed Wuyang mountain this time, everyone was on high alert in case some refugees rushed out of nowhere to rob.

But this time, I don't know if it's because there are so many of them that no one dares to rob. On the way, I met some refugees who rushed to Zhengwu county. Liu reminded them: "fellow villagers, Zhengwu County doesn't go in now. It's useless to go, and they starve to death outside the city."

Some refugees don't believe it and insist on going. Some refugees believe what Liu Yuanwai said and ask where Liu Yuanwai plans to go. Liu Yuanwai said they want to go to the northwest. There won't be people there. Even if they do, there are many retreats so that they won't be blocked by a small city.

If you go back, the group will go back to a small town passing by. This town is located between Qinghe County and Zhengwu county. It is a cross road. To the north, it is in the direction of Zhengwu county and to the west, it is to Baoning city.

After arriving in this small town, there were more refugees, and most of them were in rags and embarrassed.

Liu Yuanwai caught a group of refugees in front of him and asked them, "what's the situation in Qinghe County now?"

A refugee sighed: "no, no, Hexin county has been lost, enemy soldiers gathered outside Qinghe County, and the people of Qinghe County have almost escaped. Alas, sin, how can we live a good life?"

Another refugee advised Liu Yuanwai: "now the enemy doesn't know when it will break Qinghe County, you'd better run away, because now the imperial court is catching strong men. Those who can't escape in time must be caught and become strong men. Although it is said that it is the responsibility of men to protect their homes and defend their country, the problem is that there is no handsome in the city, and they will die if they go!"

After listening to the words of the two refugees, Liu Yuanwai quickly called on everyone to rush to Baoning city as soon as possible without delay from now on.

If you want to go to Baoning City, you must pass through two counties, DINGHE county and Da'an county.

Although these two counties have city gates, it is OK not to enter the city, because there are mountain roads everywhere outside the city. You can go around one at will. Unlike Zhengwu County, there are many rivers in the Central Plains. If one city is closed, there is no way to go. Unless you climb over mountains, but where is it so easy to climb over mountains, let alone carriages, people may not be able to climb up, unless they are foreign experts.

A group of people rushed to the northwest again.

The more you go down, the more you see.

Some people escaped a long time ago because they didn't bring enough dry food. Now they are so hungry that they have to beg on the roadside. Some are so hungry that they can't move.

Some parents with their children are so hungry that they can only hold their children in their arms, whining and begging.

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't bear to see such a tragedy, so she simply didn't see it and just drove.

They don't have much dry food. I don't know if they can reach their destination. Besides, if she gives one of them kindness, the other beggars will flock to them. No amount of food will be enough for them to be kind at that time.

At this time, she just wants to protect herself.

After another section of the road, I saw that Liu Yuanwai in front stopped.

Ye Xiaoxian thought: is it because member Liu is so kind and wants to come down to give alms?

But after seeing officer Liu get off the bus, he ordered everyone to come together, Then tell everyone like a big leader: "Everyone, we don't have much food at present, but you see, there are all refugees on the road. Although they are very poor, we are also poor. We also have old and young children, and a group of children are crying for food. Therefore, we must take good care of our food. This time is not the time for us to be kind. We don't steal or rob. These food are our pain The surplus food planted hard is our own, so we can only take care of ourselves. If anyone wants to come up and grab it, you'll beat me away. One by one. "

There was no objection to what Liu said. This is not a time for kindness. If you can save others, you can only starve yourself.

Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu used to push empty carts, but now they don't want carts. One holds a big stick and guards next to their two carriages. Once hungry people dare to approach, they will look like they want to beat people.

Ye Xiaoxian took a deep breath and stared at the way ahead, trying to ignore these refugees.

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju couldn't see the tragic scene. They squeezed back into the carriage and hugged their own supplies. They were out of sight.

Chen Ju whispered to Wang Mudan, "sister-in-law, do you think we really want to die now?"

Wang Mudan said, "you can't save a few. Even if you give them a meal, they won't live for two days. They'll die together. Don't think so much. Listen to what Liu told us to do."

Xiao Baofeng sat in Ye Xiaoxian's carriage and kept silent, while Xiao Baocheng clenched the rolling pin in his hand.

After walking out of the town for two days, there were fewer refugees, but more and more bodies.

It's not winter now. There are flies buzzing on the corpses across the roadside. There are bursts of stench. Some corpses are rotten. Their rotten eyes, noses and noses come together, which is very terrible.

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju couldn't stand it. They cried when they saw it. Liu Qianqian was also crying.

Ye Xiaoxian pulled a veil over her nose and hurried the car.

Ahead, there is another mountain.

In ancient times, these mountain roads were halfway up the mountain, and carriages could pass. However, once they arrived at such a section, it was very easy to have accidents and dangers. In addition to beasts, there were robbers.

Liu Yuanwai specially asked them to rest at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then go up the mountain when they had enough to eat and drink. Once they entered the mountain, they should rush forward with great vigour. They must not stay and rest on the mountain.

Member Liu also said, "do you want to shit and pee? Now you pull it clean for me. Don't let us stop on the mountain to shit and pee for you. When you get to the mountain, you have to hold it for me. If you can't, just pull it in your crotch!"

After Liu's orders, he went to wash his hands in batches.

Men's group, women's group.

Ye Xiaoxian and Liu Qianqian went together. They found a grass behind the road. As a result, as soon as they squatted down, Liu Qianqian suddenly shouted: "ah!"

"There are, there are dead people!"

After shouting, Liu Qianqian ran back with his pants.

Ye Xiaoxian also took a look. There was a rotten body in the haystack. She couldn't help vomiting.

Where can I still pee? Even if I do, I'm scared back.

……

The mountain road is rugged and winding. On the uphill section, the people on the car need to come down and push the carriage. On the downhill section, they need to fix the carriage to prevent the carriage from rushing forward uncontrollably.

What's more frightening is that the towering trees near the mountain road can be dealt with if a few refugees come, and it's difficult if robbers and bandits come.

But many things in the world are what they are afraid of.

Halfway up the mountain road, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the nearby woods. After a while, more than a dozen strong men rushed out in front. Each of them was holding a big knife. They looked like bandits and bandits.

Everyone took a breath of air conditioning.

There are more than a dozen people on the other side, all of whom are strong, but the sum of Liu Yuanwai and everyone on the Xiao family is not enough, not to mention the other side has a knife.

I'm afraid I'm going to expose my body in the wilderness today.

As soon as these people rushed over, they couldn't help but say that they were going to kill with knives. There was no room for discussion. The servant outside Liu went to stop them, but they couldn't stop them.

Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu also blocked it. At first, they were barely one-on-one. However, they soon fell into the wind. Xiao Tieshu was also stabbed on his shoulder, and the blood came out. Wang peony immediately fainted.

Ye Xiaoxian also thought: it's over. This time, she didn't mix with any daughter, princess, or get rich. She died on the way and exposed her corpses in the wilderness. The rotten corpses on the roadside are her end.

She wanted to escape, but she knew there was nowhere to escape. There were mountain roads in front of and behind here. There were mountains on the left and cliffs on the right. Where could she escape?

Seeing that a robber rushed towards her with a knife, she hurriedly picked up the nearby horse rope to block it, but the horse rope could not stop the knife and broke in an instant.

She heard Li Hongmei screaming "leaves", Baofeng crying "sister-in-law", and the bandits in front of her raised a big knife at her.

It's over. I'm really going to die this time.

She simply closed her eyes.

However, there was no blood and tingling in her head. She only heard a scream in front of her. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the robber had fallen down with a knife in her chest.

After a while, two robbers fell one after another. Seeing this, the other robbers couldn't help stopping to see what happened.

Behind him came a carriage with two young men, one on the roof and the other in the car. They shot the knife from the robber.

Ye Xiaoxian also saw the visitor clearly. She couldn't help getting excited.

It's Feng Sheng and Li Chengru!
