Chapter 217 Thief God, you treat me as an iron man
"Master, the meat is roasted."
I don’t know how long it took, but the guard handed over the roasted horse meat from the side. The young man took out his dagger and lightly cut a piece. It was not delicious. Apart from the smell of salt, there was no other taste. Compared with before, he
The exquisite food that I ate, this roasted horse meat, can be said to be very unpalatable.
"Bah, bah, bah, what the hell, it tastes so bad."
The girl on the side was already complaining. Although she was a concubine of the royal family, it was the first time for her to eat such unpalatable food.
"Princess, the current conditions are limited, please bear with me." The maid on the side said.
"Bear with me, bear with me, how long will I have to bear with you?" The girl lost her temper.
"Princess Princess."
The maid nudged her gently, warned her in a low voice, and motioned her to look at the young man beside her.
Seeing that her brother was not picky, he was cutting pieces of meat with a dagger and eating slowly. The girl did not dare to be picky anymore. She just took a few bites and stopped eating.
Ye Chuqiu also saw the young man's frown. She really wanted to take out some of the delicacies in her space and ask him to taste them, but she still held back. It was just a chance encounter and she could appreciate him from a distance.
Her appearance is enough. Ordinary people like her, nobles and nobles, should run as far as they can. Don't really think that you are a child of heaven.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Lin Dahu kept vigil at night, and Ye Chuqiu slowly fell asleep. Early in the morning, she was woken up by the sound of rain. It turned out that those oil paper cloths could not hold so much rain. Now,
The ruined temple became a country again.
The ground was wet with water. The boy and the others also packed their things and prepared to leave. Ye Chuqiu watched them leave without saying anything. He just asked everyone to have breakfast and continue on their way.
Originally, she wanted to stay in the ruined temple for a few more days, but what happened yesterday, if she still stayed in the ruined temple with others today, she would be really in trouble.
It is better to stay away from this kind of right and wrong place as soon as possible.
There were many dead horses outside, so Ye Chuqiu released two tiger cubs to let them eat to their fullest, and then asked Lin Dahu and the others to cut off many of them as spare rations for the tiger cubs.
It was still raining heavily today. Even though they made cloaks, they could only barely cover their heads and upper body. Soon, they got wet again.
But it doesn't matter, country people are hardy and tough. Except for Qiaoer, she doesn't need to worry about the rest of the family. She can just follow the rain. If she walks faster, she can reach Dunchuan in five or six days.
One foot was wet and the other was mud, so he couldn't walk very fast. On the way, Ye Chuqiu had already seen some refugees. Apparently, the city had not opened for a long time, and the refugees outside the city couldn't stand it any longer and planned to leave the city gate.
Find another place.
However, Ye Chuqiu didn't communicate with them. They were all fleeing the disaster. It was a rainy day and everyone was so exhausted that they didn't want to talk anymore.
After walking silently all morning, there was water everywhere and the road could no longer be seen. Ye Chuqiu had never been to Dunchuan River either, but this time she had a compass and a map. She walked in the direction of Dunchuan River and encountered mountains and mountains.
, wading in the water, the family is together, and there is nothing to fear.
Everyone was on their way today. Ye Chuqiu tied everyone together with ropes. The road could not be seen clearly. If one stepped on any ditch, river or something, everyone was tied up with ropes, so there was no need to worry about being washed away by the water.
.
Not to mention, Ye Chuqiu's move was really useful. Several times, Erbao, who was walking next to him, stepped into the river and almost didn't get washed away by the water. However, because of the rope, everyone quickly
He pulled him up.
Because of this small incident, everyone walked more carefully on the next journey. It wouldn't be a big problem if one or two people walked into the river, but if everyone stumbled together, it would be troublesome.
As we walked, the terrain in front was higher, and we saw the official road paved with stones. After walking on the official road for a while, it was much more comfortable than walking on muddy ground.
In this way, they walked for another day, and in the afternoon, they came across a pavilion.
It's just that the pavilion was already densely packed with refugees, and Ye Chuqiu and the others didn't even have a place to stay.
"Give way, give way."
Lin Qingyun, Lin Dahu, and several other mature men squeezed past and squeezed out an open space in the crowd for shelter.
Ye Chuqiu also walked over. As soon as she entered the pavilion, various strange smells rushed toward her, causing her to cover her nose immediately.
Although the pavilion is ventilated, it cannot withstand so many people. The humid and rancid smell of urine is extremely disgusting. Ye Chuqiu didn't stand for a while before he became dizzy from the smell. Zhao
Lotus and the others also more or less covered their noses.
That's all. There were coughing sounds in the ruined temple. It was obvious that a lot of people were sick. At a glance, the ground was full of thick phlegm. It was just dirty and messy. It was very possible to be infected with the disease. This
Ye Chuqiu couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly took the children out.
"Let's go and find another place."
Although everyone was very tired, when they heard Ye Chuqiu speak, they didn't ask much and followed her away. After walking for a long time, at dusk, Ye Chuqiu and the others finally found a forest on the roadside.
"Just rest here."
Ye Chuqiu said something and walked into the woods. She cut down two trees and cleared a flat space. Lin Dahu also understood what she meant. He cut a few logs and stood them around, then covered them with oil paper cloth.
, and immediately, a small space of your own was formed.
With more people and strength, they found a lot of big-leaf vines to surround them, and a small room was ready. Ye Chuqiu took out two tents from his backpack, so that everyone could have a place to sleep at night.
Although it was a bit crowded, there were not so many things to worry about on the way to escape.
They tied the two dogs to the door of the hut to serve as sentries. Ye Chuqiu dug a hole in the middle of the house and made a fire pit. With such a heavy rain, if they didn't light a fire at night, they would definitely catch a cold.
In fact, Ye Chuqiu thought it was a miracle that everyone was still safe and sound.
When the fire was lit, it caught fire. Zhao Hehua began to cook hot white porridge for everyone. She also put some horse meat in the porridge. After several days of running around, the food everyone brought seemed to be moldy.
Li Youmei was no longer frugal and cooked a lot of food generously.
She now has two hundred taels of silver. As long as she leaves here and goes to any city, she will immediately be able to live a good life. Although she is in hell now, with hope, all this will become less difficult.
Already.
Everyone's thoughts are the same as Li Youmei's. This is why Ye Chuqiu wants to give money to everyone. At this time, he must give everyone a little hope, and money is the best way to encourage him.
After finishing the porridge, Ye Chuqiu fed some horse meat to the two little tigers, watching them tearing up the food and cooking on the fire in boredom. At this time, Lin Qingyun, Lin Qingshi and the others came over. Ye Chuqiu saw them like this
, asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, we want to rest here for one more day." Lin Qingyun said.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"The child's mother really can't stand it anymore." Lin Qingshi said: "On the way, she was carrying things on her back and had to take care of Lingzhi and the others. She was also constantly wet in the rain. Even an iron man couldn't bear it."
"Yes, it's okay for my Yumei to be strong, but my Sanbao and my wife there can't stand it any longer." Lin Qingyun also said.
Ye Chuqiu turned to look at Chai Chunfang, Dani and the others. Previously, she thought that she and others were from the countryside, with rough skin and thick flesh. But now, their faces looked haggard, and they couldn't stand it any longer.
"If you are sick, I have medicine here." Ye Chuqiu said, taking out a porcelain bottle, "You know this medicine, it also saved Sanniang from such a serious illness before."
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm sick, I just feel dizzy and light-headed." Chai Chunfang came over and said something.
"So are we."
As soon as she spoke, everyone else nodded together. Obviously, not everyone can endure the rain, carrying things on their backs, and walking in mud and water.
"Then let's rest for a day. There shouldn't be any mudslides in this place." Ye Chuqiu said something, and then told them: "Since we want to stay for one more day, let's tidy up the ground again so that we can sleep well at night.
Be comfortable."
"good."
Lin Qingyun and the others nodded, and went to cut branches and bamboos to raise the ground higher so that they no longer had to sleep on the wet ground.
The sky was dark, and by the light of the campfire, they worked for a while, chopped a lot of bamboo, and raised the two places for tents. Ye Chuqiu saw that it was getting late, so he let them have a good rest before starting to work again the next day.
.
At night, everyone crowded into a tent, with men sharing a tent and women sleeping together. As a result, in the middle of the night, first Qiaoer coughed crazily, then Zhao Hehua, and then Wufeng also fell ill. By the time the next morning
At that time, except for Ye Chuqiu who was not infected by the disease, everyone else was infected with the cold.
"mother?"
In the early morning, Lin Dahu came over and called outside their tent, but no one answered.
While he was wondering, there was a crash, the tent was opened, and Ye Chuqiu appeared in front of him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"They are all sick."
Ye Chuqiu said, "I gave them medicine at night, and now they are all asleep."
"ah?"
Lin Dahu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mom, I just wanted to tell you that my brother and the others were sick last night."
"Are you sick too?"
"Yes, apart from the fact that my second uncle and I are in good health and have no major problems, even my third uncle is coughing." Lin Dahu said.
"It's fatal."
Ye Chuqiu looked up at the sky, sighed heavily, and then said, "We must have been infected by others when we went to the pavilion yesterday."
"What should we do?" After hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, Lin Dahu was also very anxious.
"The most important thing now is that you and your second uncle need to take good care of your health. If you both get sick, I really don't know what to do."
Ye Chuqiu patted his shoulder and said something.
"mother."
Lin Dahu wanted to say something more, but when he saw Ye Chuqiu's tired eyes, he said nothing.
"Don't worry, everyone will be fine."
Ye Chuqiu said that the jade pendant that was used to protect them from disasters had not broken into pieces yet, which meant that this time it was not a plague, but at most a severe flu.
After all, everyone was in the rain and frightened, and their bodies are already weak. It is good that they can survive for so long. If you go to a place with many diseases, it is normal to contract the disease.
But it was normal, but she was really tired when she was tired.
She had to cook and take care of people, and her whole body was almost divided into eight.
But the advantage was not entirely lost, that is, everyone fell down, and she secretly took some supplies out of the space without anyone noticing.
But she was taking care of so many patients by herself. Even if there were good things, she was not in the mood to eat them. She only hoped that they would get better soon.
