Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three Endpoint One
At last it was daybreak, and the family came out to take a look. Pearl and the others were still guarding outside. In addition, Pearl and the others said a lot of nice things and promised to give them more money, so the family sold the grain and grass awkwardly at a relatively high price.
Gave it to them.
In the end, all the horses and oxen in the motorcade became Pearl's weakness. If any of you could find fodder, they would be Pearl's guests. It would be no problem to make a small request, take care of something, etc. Along the way, we would not worry about these things.
Speaking to my friend, Pearl has worked hard and broken her heart.
In the eyes of a few scholars, all this can't really be of any help except guilt and apology. I just pray that I will prosper in the future, and I must thank Pearl properly.
Those who survived in the convoy were all people with good foundation and strong health. This journey cleared out the elderly people in their fifties and above and children under the age of seven or eight in the village. The rest were in good health and tasted delicious.
, these are the vital forces and the hope of the village.
On the road from now on, I saw more and more people supporting the elderly and the young, carrying backpacks and carrying burdens, and the weather was getting better and better. Pearl felt a little anxious, and silently thought to herself: I hope I can reach Jinling before spring plowing, so
They can cultivate immediately and not delay the farming season.
But this wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When Pearl and his convoy arrive at the edge of the Yangtze River, they plan to cross the river. As long as they cross the Yangtze River, they will see Jinling City on the other side. Jinling City can be seen vaguely from this side of the river.
shadows and silhouettes, all
They were all so excited that they finally reached the end of the land and no longer had to walk any further. Some even knelt down on the bank of the Yangtze River and cried loudly, crying for their fathers and mothers and for their ancestors. They lost their loved ones on the road, were frightened, suffered hardships and so on.
I cried out of grievance and sadness.
One of them cried, and the other two cried. In the end, the whole village stood on the bank of the Yangtze River and burst into tears. This caught Pearl and the Weiwei Escort behind them off guard. They had imagined all the situations. But they didn't expect the whole village.
They howled collectively. It didn't matter that they were crying, everyone was crying, which made the people around them look back frequently. The pearls and the escort agency seemed to be human trafficking or gangsters.
Pearl asked Shitou and Erdan to persuade everyone to stop crying, but no one listened, and the voices became louder and louder. "Zhenzhu, go and persuade everyone. What's going on? Even if you start crying, you're not done yet."
, as if... still crying!" Shitou muttered.
"Didn't I ask you to persuade me? You can't persuade me even if you are so loud. Forget about my small voice. If you want to vent, vent and vent. It's just that they are like this, making people doubt me as a human trafficker again!" Pearl said helplessly.
I really can't help it, I can't help but make people cry.
, people are really sad, and they don’t even let them cry, which is indeed a bit excessive, but they don’t cry one after another, making the whole village cry together. It’s like the Yellow River Cantata. Come to the Yangtze River to sing the Yellow River Cantata, this is not
Are you going to challenge the Yangtze River? Pearl thought boredly.
"Forget it, let them cry for now, I'll go and rest for a while. Sun Wen and Huang San went to find a boat, let's talk about it when they come back." Pearl turned back to the car and went to sleep. Shitou opened his mouth and watched Pearl return to the car.
After getting on it, he smashed his mouth, looked back at the crying villagers who were throwing themselves in, and then went back to sleep in the coffin in front.
Don't tell me, it's so comfortable to lie down in a coffin, but it's so awkward to be both mother and sister in the car. I can't stretch my legs and kick around. Since that Pearl's coffin incident, the stone has also
He imitated Pearl and occupied another coffin. After the crossbow inside was sent to Zhuang Ding, the stone took over like a fish in water.
It's just that the person occupying the other coffin became Old Man Wang. He asked Pearl to return to the car and he would sleep in the coffin. In Old Man Wang's consciousness, girls should still behave politely and politely.
But this daughter, Zhenzhu, is more restless than a boy. She spends all day chatting with Shitou Erdan and those kicking mules. Now she feels uncomfortable in the car and sleeps in a coffin. If you sleep in a coffin, just sleep in a coffin.
, and she was even robbed once. If they didn't think it was a fake corpse and threw her on the road, tell me, tell them where to look for her.
Old Man Wang shuddered every time he thought about this matter, so he simply occupied the coffin and forced Pearl back into the car. Pearl was afraid that Old Man Wang would freeze, so she sat on it with a few wolf skins and fox skins scrounged from the Wangfu Courtyard.
The mattress made two simple sleeping bags for Old Man Wang and Shitou. The two of them were almost as good as lying in them or lying on the kang. They were so beautiful that they could no longer live without the coffin.
After the people from Wangjiazhuang cried for more than half an hour, no one paid attention or tried to persuade them. Everyone was tired of crying, so they had to stop by themselves, went down to a place with water, washed their faces, and each found an open space to sit down.
Come down.
Now the north bank of the Yangtze River has almost become a refugee camp. No matter rich or poor, no one can leave here. All the ships here have been requisitioned by the army, and there are people everywhere on the river, but they all belong to the Wei Dynasty.
The boat race with thousands of sails and officers and soldiers was very lively. Everyone was looking around to find out when the army would be able to cross the river and it would be their turn to cross the river.
The crossing of the river has not yet been completed. As the military tents on the south bank are put up one after another, the military camps on the south bank are built, and the Tatars on the north bank are about to arrive, which will encroach on their habitat step by step.
, it seems that in a few days, they will not be able to cross the river, and they will not even have a place to stand on the riverside.
All the people started making noises, and some went to the officials to reason with them. There are still some officials on the north bank who are responsible for ordering positions and providing soup and relief. They cannot leave before the Tatars arrive. They are still government agencies here.
There were many dignitaries among these refugees. When they came up, they scolded them and showed off their privileged class money. They had no consciousness of becoming refugees. Because of their tone of voice and improper attitude, they were dismissed before even meeting any serious people.
Hit it out.
We had to ask clearly about being beaten out. In the end, we discussed it over and over again, but we still had to ask. This time we found someone who could talk and paid for it in advance. This person went to see a consultant.
The general, with a smile on his face, said good things, handed over money, and asked if they would not be allowed to cross the river.
The general, after speaking in an official tone, said something useful for the sake of money, to the effect that they would be allowed to cross the river. After the troops withdrew from the capital had finished crossing, the common people would be allowed to cross. You guys
Don't think that everything will be over once you cross the river. Jinling City has long been overcrowded. As long as you don't have a fixed residence and are not guaranteed by relatives and friends, you are not allowed to enter the city.
When the man heard this, when the army was over, how long would it take for the hundreds of thousands of men to live through the years? The man had no explanation for this, so he asked him to go back and wait patiently. The man had no choice but to come back and tell everyone what he heard.
I conveyed it and asked everyone to wait patiently. Some people shouted impatiently,
"Wait a minute, just wait, by the time the Tatars come, we won't be able to cross the river, so we will just wait to be killed and eaten by the Tatars."
"Yes, yes, we can wait, but when we wait, we will see that there are military camps on the opposite side. By then, we will not even have a place to stand. These hundreds of thousands of troops will come here if they can. They
When are we going to cross over? We have worked so hard to get here and see that we can't enter Jinling City. What kind of world is this..." Someone started crying.
Everyone was crying and fighting, and after running for thousands of miles, what they got in the end was a dead end. God would not give them a way to survive.
This is the Wangjiazhuang effect again. One person cries, the other two also cry, and then everyone also cries. The river is surging, covering everyone's cries, carrying people's sobs and sadness and rushing away into the distance.
Pearl watched all this in the car and looked up at the sky. God will not sympathize with the weak. God will only favor those who work hard and swim against the current. Crying will not bring any sympathy. On the contrary, tears can only
Prove that you are a loser and a coward!
Several people and horses came galloping from the distance. Pearl got out of the car, stood on the shaft of the car, and looked into the distance. Yes, those horses were coming here. They should be Sun who was out to find the ship and inquire about the news.
Wen, Huang, and the others left yesterday and just came back now. It seems that this boat is really hard to find!
Sun Wen and Huang San came to Pearl's carriage and dismounted, then stood aside. Pearl looked at the horses behind them. One of them looked familiar, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became. This was...
.Isn’t this the money-making chief escort of the Mighty Escort Agency?
Why did he come here in person? Although the Mighty Escort Bureau owed him a favor, there was no need to come and pick him up in person. They were doing business. You could say anything you wanted to say when you arrived at Jinling or the Escort Bureau. There was no need to cross the river so hard.
Come and see her?
Qian Jin also looked at the woman who had saved the lives of hundreds of people in the Weiwei Escort Bureau. She was looking at him. She definitely didn't believe that she had come specially to pick them up across the river. She was really a smart and sensitive woman. She was better than before.
When I saw Jingcheng, he was even thinner, and his clothes seemed a little baggy.
, the hands sticking out from the sleeves were as thin as a hemp stick, even more frail, shaky, and slightly breathing rapidly. These told Qian Jin, a martial arts master, that she was injured, internal injuries, and she was not injured yet.
Well, it’s strange that a girl who doesn’t know martial arts suffered internal injuries.
When Qian Jin looked at Pearl again, he saw that Pearl frowned slightly. He immediately realized that he had been in a daze in front of her for too long. He quickly got off the horse, clasped his fists in front of Pearl and saluted: "Ms. Pearl, please, please.
