At this time, Lu Xu had already placed Wen Yueqi in Xin'an Village. I don't know if it was because the two of them were separated from time to time during this period? Or was the couple just so unlucky?
In short, Wen Yueqi and Lu Xu had worked hard for so long, but she still couldn't conceive a child. Shen Lan's child-giving Guanyin statue had already been delivered, and Lu Xu even secretly checked with a doctor. After all, his condition In particular, he was afraid that it was because of himself that the two of them would never be able to have a child.
However, the examination results showed that both he and Wen Yueqi's bodies were very normal. With no choice, the young couple could only lament the impermanence of fate.
This time Wen Yuanzhong ordered Lu Xu to go to Qinzhou Mansion, because Wen Yueqi was not with him. Lu Xu simply set off that day. He now had very few sources of information, and he urgently needed to learn about the Beiting people through Wen Yuanzhong. The movement of the edge.
On the way from Wei'an Fort to Qinzhou Mansion, Lu Xu saw refugees everywhere. Seeing the ranks of refugees with his own eyes shocked Lu Xu far more than what he saw in history books.
He saw many refugees just holding a wooden stick and walking forward with the large army. They had no food or skin on their bodies. It was clear from their looks that they would not be able to hold on for long.
Lu Xu even saw with his own eyes that many refugees fell to the ground while walking and never got up again. The surrounding refugees seemed not to be surprised by this situation. Seeing their companions fall, everyone was numb. I chose to ignore it.
Only those victims whose family members are still alive will have family members around them to take them on their last journey.
The saddest thing is the children who have lost their parents. Lu Xu once saw a two or three-year-old girl crying next to the body of a woman with body spots. The child had obviously been crying for a long time, and his throat was broken. I can't make any sound anymore.
Even these numb refugees will feel unbearable when they see what happened to this child. Because everyone knows that if no one lends a helping hand, this child will probably go to his mother soon.
This is not alarmist!
Even Lu Xu had seen the corpses of a father and son lying on the roadside. Judging from the appearance of the father and son, they were obviously similar to the mother and daughter.
The father should have given food and the hope of life to his children at the last moment of his life. However, after his father died, the children who had no one to take care of them lost their ability to survive and could only guard their father's body until the end of their lives.
Lu Xu believes that the refugees have definitely seen more similar scenes. So they know the future fate of this child!
However......
Aren't they themselves pitiful people? Even they themselves don't know whether they can survive until the next sun rises. Who can control this child?
Seeing this situation, Lu Xu decided to take care of it! Although he also knew that what he could do now was nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of refugees. But Lu Xu still couldn't do it when he saw such a young child. His life ended in front of his eyes and he remained indifferent.
This time Lu Xu only brought Xie Zhen and other seven old brothers with him, and these men buried the girl's mother in a messy way. Seeing her mother laid to rest, the girl's spirit seemed to suddenly collapse, and she directly He fainted on the spot. Lu Xu touched the girl's head and it was horribly hot.
Lu Xu had no choice but to take some emergency cooling measures, and then led the people to rush towards Qinzhou Mansion.
Now people everywhere are running away risking their lives. Apart from Lu Xu in Qinzhou Prefecture, he can't think of a doctor who can save his life.
Fortunately, in the past few months of preparations for the war, Lu Xu also obtained some war horses. With the help of the war horses, he would be able to travel much faster.
However, war horses are not cars after all. War horses are also mortal bodies, and they will also get tired. Lu Xu did not bring a spare war horse this time. Before the physical energy of the war horse was about to be exhausted, Lu Xu could only take his people to find a foot shop.
rest.
Lu Xu bought some good fodder from the store for the war horse to eat. He hoped that the war horse could recover its strength as soon as possible.
And he himself led others to drink a large bowl of catechu in the foot shop. At this moment, Lu Xu saw a figure that surprised him appear among the ranks of the refugees.
This is not to say that Lu Xu knew that person, but that person's dress was obviously different from other refugees.
The refugees Lu Xu had seen before were not much different from those recorded in history books. They were basically all in rags and had thin bodies. One look showed that they were likely to die soon.
But what Lu Xu saw now was an old man who was dressed relatively cleanly and was also very particular about the materials he used. Judging from the old man's slightly chubby figure, his living conditions should not be bad! Lu Xu couldn't understand him.
Why has it fallen to this point?
And Lu Xu knew that compared to those thin refugees, this fat old man might be the first to be unable to hold on.
Famines and disasters have been the same since ancient times. The thinner the people, the longer they can persist. Because their body size determines that the calories and food they need to maintain life are much smaller than other people.
This old man is slightly fat, and he obviously needs more food to survive than other refugees. But now that he is in the fleeing team, where can he get so much food?
The old man seemed to have noticed Lu Xu. Although Lu Xu knew that he couldn't help the old man, Lu Xu didn't mind giving the old man a meal. Maybe this meal could help the old man persist for two more days. In this age
If you can hold on for one more day, you will have more hope.
Lu Xu called the old man to sit down at their table. Seeing someone saving his life, the old man was naturally very grateful.
He came to Lu Xu's side and saluted Lu Xu respectfully: "Thank you so much for saving my life."
Lu Xu looked at the old man with some surprise: "This old man, judging from your speech and behavior, I'm afraid you are not a scholar, right?"
The old man smiled bitterly: "I am indeed a scholar! When I was young, my family was a bit poor. Anyway, there was no shortage of food for me at home, so my family sent me to study."
"It's a pity that Lao Chan's talent is limited. In the end, he only passed the exam for one exam, and he never really embarked on an official career in this life."
Lu Xu was shocked. Even though the old man said it so calmly, but judging from what he meant, he was probably the first scholar in his family. Now the imperial examination in Daliang is about to be monopolized by those "academic elites" who have held the imperial examination for generations.
, it is already very difficult for a person with no family background to pass the examination.
It is no exaggeration to say that this old man is definitely the king of civil affairs in Daliang. Moreover, he is already good at recruiting people. He is considered to be an alternate official. He has many privileges in the countryside. It is not difficult to understand why he has a
He has a slightly chubby figure, because he must have lived a very nourishing life as a child!
This made Lu Xu even more strange. He didn't understand why such people would become refugees. Even Lu Xu couldn't understand the appearance of so many refugees. There was no famine, and the war didn't really come. Why did such a sudden appearance appear?
