Chapter 28 Childish
At night, the team rested outside the city gate.
In the evening, Su Ying took the sesame seed cakes she bought from her bag and let everyone eat them with water. Another person got a piece of dried tiger meat. Everyone was injured today. They haven't slept since Xiao Jin and Su Ying fell off the cliff.
After a peaceful sleep, now that they are all back safely, they can finally take a good nap.
But when I slept until midnight, it started raining again.
Su Ying, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, opened her eyes and saw someone walking towards her in the dark rain.
Because they were caught in the rain, the people in the team woke up one after another.
"Hey, look over there, why are so many people coming?" A prisoner said, pointing in the direction of the official road outside the city gate.
Others heard his voice and looked toward the official road, and sure enough they saw a dense crowd of people walking over.
Taking advantage of the night, those black figures gradually appeared in the gray-white moonlight.
Their faces were pale and haggard, and they all came to the city gate like zombies. Seeing that the city gate had not yet been opened, they found a place to sit on the ground. They looked a bit worse than the exiled prisoners like them.
Su Ying stood up and frowned as she looked at those people.
Because those people made a lot of noise, many people in the team were awakened.
"They are people fleeing famine." He Shouyi looked at those people and said. When he spoke, he had already come to the side of the carriage, and his expression became wary.
Su Ying thought for a while and said, "I'll go ask what's going on."
She walked among those people and stopped an old man who was walking towards the city gate. The old man stared at her warily and said nothing.
Su Ying took out a piece of dry food from her body and quickly stuffed it into the uncle's hand and whispered: "Uncle, what's going on with you guys? Why are you all heading to Yunshui City in the middle of the night?"
The uncle looked at the dry food in his hand and hid it quickly before saying: "There was a flood over there. We escaped from the village. It rained heavily for days and the dam on the upper reaches of the Wujiang River cracked. Our village
They are all submerged, so we can only go north." After saying that, the uncle ignored Su Ying and found a place to sit closest to the city gate so that he could enter as soon as possible when the city gate opened in the morning.
Su Ying returned to the carriage. At this time, except for the three children who were sleeping in the carriage, everyone else woke up.
Su Ying told them what the uncle said.
Xiao Jin's face darkened, "Crossing the Wu River is the only way to the Northern Wilderness."
He Shouyi also looked ugly, "If the dam on the upper reaches of the Wujiang River collapses, we may not be able to get over."
According to the itinerary, they had to cross the Wujiang River first, arrive at Yuecheng, and then head northwest.
But if they can't cross the Wujiang River, their way will be blocked and there will be no way around them.
This knowledge made several people become silent. If they could not leave, where could their team of several hundred people go? There might be another serious disaster after the disaster. Can they escape?
Thinking of these makes me feel numb.
The arrival of the victims gave the originally lifeless team a heavier atmosphere.
The officer also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately selected a few relatively strong prisoners among the prisoners and asked them to guard the supply cart. He also had someone pull the cart to the side of Su Ying's carriage to ride with it.
Li Da has encountered such a situation in the past. These victims who are homeless and have nothing to eat, if they really get violent, it doesn't matter whether you are from the court or not, these people will eat you even if you don't have anything to eat.
Got it!
Seeing more and more victims, Li Da immediately ordered his team to prepare to set off and stay away from these people.
But as we walked along, we could see a steady stream of disaster victims heading towards Yunshui City. They all wanted to go into the city to escape the disaster, but there were so many people. In order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, the government officials would not let them go.
They went in.
"ah!"
Zhang Cuiniang suddenly exclaimed, and Su Ying looked around and saw a body that had been soaked by the rain not far from the team.
Su Ying frowned and told Zhang Cuiniang not to look around and just pay attention to the road ahead.
At this time, the official who was walking ahead to explore the road came on horseback. He ran up to Li Da and quickly got off his horse. "Boss, the pier crossing the Wujiang River is flooded. Our trip there at this time is in vain."
"
Li Da spat, "I'm really unlucky this year. I don't have any good jobs."
The pier was flooded, and they had to cross a river, but now it was raining heavily, so where could they find a place to stay?
"Boss, go back. There is an abandoned ruined temple outside Yunshui City. It's bigger there." An official suggested.
They couldn't cross the river, and they couldn't let everyone follow them in the rain, so they had to find a place to stay first. Li Da nodded and led the people back towards the ruined temple.
However, they were not the only ones who thought of resting in the ruined temple. When they arrived at the ruined temple, there were already many fleeing victims inside.
When the victims saw so many people coming in all at once, they stared at them warily.
In order to facilitate management, Li Da asked the officials to place the victims in the side hall next to them, while the prisoners in the team were concentrated in the main hall, which could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
Su Ying led the carriage to the yard and stopped, taking Dabao and Erbao out of the carriage, and also took down the things on the carriage.
Jiang Yang took Xiao Jin and chose a relatively quiet and unobtrusive place to stay.
Su Ying carried the two little milk bags in her arms and smelled the sour smell that hit her nostrils, making her eyes swell.
Although the lobby is large enough, hundreds of people came in and the hall was packed to the brim.
Su Ying put the two children down and said, "There are too many victims outside, so we will eat simply these days." What she meant was that she would not light a fire to cook in the past few days, so as not to attract attention.
Su Ying's idea has been unanimously approved by everyone.
Su Ying took the medicine from her body and handed it to Dabao, "Come Ji'er, this is the medicine you are going to take today. Although your injuries are much better, they are not healed yet. You need to continue taking the medicine until they are healed."
"
Dabao looked at her with a pair of eyes exactly like Xiao Jin's. He thought Su Ying was a bad guy, but this bad guy saved him again. Now Dabao's mood is very complicated. He wants to continue to hate Su Ying, but he also feels that
This isn't quite right.
Therefore, his little face was almost wrinkled into a dehydrated cucumber.
Su Ying looked at his tangled look and had the idea of teasing him, "If you don't take medicine, the injury won't heal. If it doesn't heal, you won't be able to protect your father and Ling'er. Aren't you afraid that they will be captured by the bad guys?"
When Dabao heard what she said, his big eyes widened, "I will definitely protect daddy and Ling'er! Humph!"
With that said, he grabbed the medicine Su Ying gave him, opened his mouth and took it in one gulp.
"Ugh!" After the sugar coating of the pill melted, the little baby girl frowned in pain.
"Hahahaha." Su Ying was amused by his cute appearance and laughed out loud.
Dabao was not in a good mood, so he turned around and got into Xiao Jin's arms.
Xiao Jin glanced at Su Ying coolly, "Childish."
Su Ying's smile remained unchanged and she raised her eyebrows provocatively, "That's also for the sake of the children."
Xiao Jin took a water bag and gave it to Dabao without even giving it to her.
Su Ying raised her lips in a funny way. Father and son are exactly the same. Of course, Dabao is still much cuter than Xiao Jin.
"Master, please give us something to stutter. We haven't eaten for three days."
"Go, go, go, there's no dry food here, get out of here."
Su Ying turned around and saw the official being stopped by many victims outside the door.
