Staring at Huo Zhi leaving the account, Xue Lingqiang cheered up, shook his hands, turned around and said to Xue Min, "It's almost time, we should go too."

Xue Min nodded, then asked if he wanted something to eat.Xue Ling tilted her head and looked at the fruits on the table. She didn't know where they got them. She looked at them twice, but she didn't want to swallow them, so she said, "Forget it."

In the early morning of the second day, Tuoba Mian was not there, so he presumably went to Ningcheng to fight again.She packed her bags and wanted to leave, but no one stopped her.After the gathering, there was no trace of Huo Xiao, and after asking Huo Zhi, he indeed went to the other side of Ancheng.

According to the horse schedule, it takes a whole day to run, but it may not be possible to find a place to change horses now, and it needs to stop and go, and it is estimated that it will take three days to go back and forth.After I went there, I didn't know how long it took to find someone. Huo Zhi was right, the shortest was ten days, and the longest was three to five months.

But just like before, it doesn't matter, don't worry about it.She yelled "drive", and the soldiers ahead couldn't move around, and the north gate of Ningcheng must also be closed to people. After leaving the tent, the group of people went westward for dozens of miles to Ningcheng, intending to bypass the city directly and go to the south gate. Find a way to enter the city.

This run lasted for half a day, surrounded by wild smoke and grass, not even a single wild animal was seen.Later in the afternoon, Fang met a village with three or five thatched eaves falling in layers, forming a circle.There is a stream of water next to it, and the grass by the water is still luxuriant.

Xue Ling was still moving forward, Xue Min steered the horse at the same level as her, and said, "Come on, the horse has to rest too."

Xue Ling didn't make a sound, but slowed down the horse according to the words. Xue Ming jumped off, turned into the hut, and then came back and said, "You can go drink some water and rest for a while, there is no one else inside."

Xue Ling heard it strangely, what does it mean to have no other people? In the remote countryside, there should be no other people.I looked up, and I didn't know how long it would take before people lived, so I jumped down.When Huo Zhi and the others saw her get off the horse, they raised their feet and led the horse to the river to drink water.

Entering the enclosure, Xue Ling knew what "no one else is" meant. It turned out that all the old and young left here, only two or three old women were still there.

Seeing that Xue Ling and his party were tall and powerful, they shrank like chickens, kowtowed and shouted repeatedly: "Master, it's true and nothing else."

When Huo Zhi came back, Wen Sheng reported his name and said, "I'm just here to ask for a bowl of water." Only then did the old women get up in fright, shivering and hiding, shouting, "The official can do it himself."

Xue Ling sat obliquely in the corner, Xue Ming took out the dry food in the bag and handed it to her, and drew fresh water from the well in the yard.

Xue Ling's stomach was empty for a few days, and she ate and gulped again. In addition, the well water was cool in summer, and she felt overwhelmed after swallowing, and threw up on the ground.

Xue Min was frightened, and hurried over to ask what's the matter, Xue Ling said impatiently, "I'm in a hurry to eat".She didn't feel any discomfort, maybe she was just a little anxious.

Xue Min was worried, and turned to ask the old woman if there was any fresh food at home.She took out silver coins and said she wanted to buy them. After a long time of confirmation, the old woman realized that they were real silver taels, which could be worth more than a thousand copper plates.

Xue Mingfu stood next to Xue Ling, but when the old woman came out again, there was only half a dusty yellow steamed bun with black inside in the earthenware bowl in her hand.

In fact, half of it, with undulating edges, was torn off.

She smiled and knelt down to Xue Ling, saying: "Eat quickly, eat quickly." Then she bragged to Xue Ming: "It's white flour, white flour.

It was the old people in my family who were going to leave, and left it to me after steaming. "

Xue Ling was about to vomit again in an instant, so she quickly covered her mouth and turned her face away. The woman didn't know why, and said in a daze, "What's the matter?" Then she handed the bowl to Xue Ling and said, "Here you are, here you are, Your steamed bun."

Xue Ming hurriedly took it and put it aside, sent the old woman away, patted Xue Ling on the back, and said, "It will be fine in the evening, and we will be near Ningcheng in the evening."

She raised her hand to stop Xue Min from talking, and after a while, she drank a few more sips of water, barely feeling better.I don't know if it was because of the money, the old woman Xinxi brought some beans again, saying that they were harvested last year, boiled in salt water and dried, and they could be eaten for a while.

This is a common snack in the northwest. Xue Ling took it and dropped a piece in his mouth.Casually said: "Why don't you see Lao Li, you are here."

Lao Li mostly pointed to men, and the old woman was startled when she heard this, and sighed that "the official came to recruit men and took away the eldest son".

And "the general said something, please go Er Er."

Later, "Yao'er was kidnapped by someone".

Then "when the barbarians are coming, the grandchildren and old men dare not stay, and have fled."

So, that's all.

She grinned her toothless mouth, ho ho said: "Old woman, we can't go far, it's right here.

Right here, dead and dead, alive and alive. "

She asked Xue Ling: "What about you? Are you going to escape too?"

Xue Ling threw another bean into his mouth and said with a smile, "Yes."

She said to Xue Ming, "Go and see if Ma Xie is okay."

The old woman waved her hands and tried to persuade: "There are many of you, don't go to the front, those officials are unreasonable, and they will pull away the men when they see them. Hey" she wiped her eyes: "Just pull away."

Before Xue Ming reached the river, she stood up and asked in a loud voice, "Are you ready?" Before hearing the answer, she walked around the old woman, grabbed half of the steamed buns in the broken bowl, and walked up as she went back and forth.

Huo Zhi and others followed, got up to Ma Fang and said, "I'm running too fast today, why don't you let Ma take a break." I can't rest well either.

Xue Ling shook the reins, let the horse walk slowly, and said: "It's not far away, we just circled around, it should be evening anyway, the horse can't die."

Huo Zhi was speechless, Xue Lingfu asked, "How do we get in?"

"What's the girl's plan?"

Xue Ling said: "Huo Yunwan sent you here just for this matter, why do you still ask me." She didn't mention Chen Liao, she wrote vaguely that day, she saw that one of the group surnamed Chen was in Ningcheng, Huo It must be well understood.

Sure enough, Huo Zhi stepped forward a little, squeezed Xue Ming down, walked with Xue Ling, and said lightly: "I see, we can ask General Shen for the pledge. Now that there is a war, there is a shortage of food and grass. There are others nearby.

It's just that after entering, if you want to stay by Shen Yuanzhou's side, you need the girl to take care of you. "

Xue Ling nodded and said yes, asking her to take care of him was nothing more than wanting to use the title of "Xue Yihan's son".She also remembered that if she hadn't gone to get the seal that night, she wouldn't have gone to Jiangfu, and if she hadn't gone to Jiangfu, she wouldn't have seen what that stupid dog was doing.

As soon as I thought about it, I felt pain in my palms, so I hurriedly asked, "Where is the night break?" Huo Zhi pointed to the road ahead, and said: "Sixty or seventy miles south of Ningcheng, there is a small county called Chang County, with a radius of There are about a thousand families and hundreds of soldiers in the county government, and they just settled down."

"Then let's go there." Xue Ling patted the horse, the distance of sixty or seventy miles, the horse raced to Ningcheng in less than an hour, no accident, and he could see Shen Yuanzhou tomorrow morning.

The time of arriving in Chang County was earlier than she expected. The sun had not changed, and the group had already arrived at the gate of Chang County.

Because of the war in Ningcheng, the pawns at the city gate were strictly checked, especially Xue Ling and his party who rode horses and carried knives.

Fortunately, Xue Min had prepared a guide for the Northwest Office in his luggage, and shouted, "Whoever delays the matter is to blame".A group of people entered the city smoothly, found an inn to check in, and then went upstairs to put down their things, rested for a while, and just went on to order something to eat.

After entering the city, Xue Ling didn't go anywhere else, so Xue Ling didn't know how big the place was, but Huo Zhi said that there were thousands of households, so there must be some movement on the street.

However, there was a dead silence all around, and no ghost was watching. Xue Ling opened his mouth and asked the person guarding the counter for hot water. Hearing that it was already the curfew time, he looked up and saw that the big sun was still hanging in the sky.

Xue Ming was afraid that she would not like it, so he rushed to ask, "Why is there a curfew before nightfall?"

The man buried his head in the ledger, didn't even move his neck, he just pointed in the direction of Ning Cheng and said, "Where did you come from? I don't know if the barbarians are here. Today you still sleep on the ground, and tomorrow you don't know if you will be able to stay." What.

Half a month ago, we had a curfew at Shen Shizhong, and it was only open at Chen Shizhong. Don't get up early tomorrow, you guys will be arrested by the officials, and you will be taken away as military service, and you will never come back after being sent to Ningcheng. "

Xue Min said again: "There is still food to eat."

The man waved his hands together: "It's gone, it's gone, the cook ran away, the cook ran away, and the waiter also ran away, you insist on eating, go and see what's there by yourself." It’s not that it was passed down from my ancestors, I also sold it early and fled.”

Xue Min was helpless, and said to Xue Ling, "You sit here, I'll go and have a look."

She tilted her head and walked a few steps to pick up a bowl of water on the table to drink, but the pot was empty.Open the lid, I don't know how many days without adding water, the tea foam has dried up.She threw back the lid and shook her hands, and crumbs fell out.

The half steamed bun was crushed into slag in the sleeve pocket after a bumpy afternoon.
