Chapter 168 A Dead Village

Xiao Ningxue's family has a total of six sleds.

Two of them were specially built by an uncle carpenter. They were widened and enlarged, with a canopy, handrails, and oilcloth around them.

At first glance, it looks like a simple carriage.

The inside is covered with an air mattress, which can sit and lie down, can withstand wind and snow, and is warm and light.

Mrs. Xiao is getting old, and such a sled is indispensable for long journeys.

However, Xiao Shan was poisoned by the corpse, and his health deteriorated day by day.

Fortunately, when she was packing her belongings the night before, Xiao Yue caught another gray mouse in the suitcase, Xiao Ningxue hurriedly asked her for it, and locked it in the portable space.

He planned to test the medicine with this big squirrel along the way, and tried to cure his father's corpse poison earlier, so as to save him from suffering.

As for the three little squeaks she kept, Xiao Ningxue always felt that the longer they grew, the less they looked like mice. They had round ears, short tails, and their eyes were as agile as black gemstones. They were very lively and cute, and they didn't know what they were. animal.

Pulling away, let's get back to business.

This westward team consisted of more than [-] people, led by Wang Yonggui, while Xue Andong and other exiled criminals were escorted by Gao Butou and several government officials.

They said, "Escort, at this moment, Catcher Gao and the others are helping the elderly and young children onto their sleds that have been covered with air mattresses."

Xue Andong and Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wu met, their eyes were red.

They have been wronged for nothing, they have been extremely dissatisfied with the court for more than ten years, but now that the Night King treats them so favorably, why do they have any resentment?
If the ancient Shu royal family chilled their hearts, then the Night King really warmed their hearts back.

Not only the Night King, but also Mr. Xiao Wenzhaojiang, Gao Butou and other yamen servants, and all the villagers of Taohua Village.
These people brought their dying hearts back to life.

"Gao Butou, Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhao. Thanks for your hard work, thank you!" Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wu bowed to Gao Butou and others with tears in his eyes.

The two of them used to be Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and Shangshu of the Ministry of War. They were also full of ambitions and ambitions.

Now my beard and hair are all white, and I am getting old!
I have no other ideas in my lifetime, I just hope that one day they can be rehabilitated and their innocence returned! Of course, if the Night King still has some use for them, they will die!
Boss Gao helped Mr. Zhou's mother onto the sled and sat down, while smiling.

"We live and die together, we are already a family, you two adults, please don't be polite."

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wu shook his gray beard, choked up and couldn't speak.

Except for them, the others were all young and strong men. Apart from daily necessities such as food and clothing, they also brought hoes and sickles and other farming tools on the sled.

In the desolate west, no one expects that there will be ready-made houses for you to live in, and ready-made fields for you to plant, and everyone is mentally prepared.

After a while, the sleds were parked on the sun valley flat, waiting to set off.

Wang Yonggui waved his big hand with a bong in his mouth.

"Villagers heading to Su'an County, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!" The villagers shouted excitedly, and there was no sadness of parting, only anticipation and longing for the future.

Not long after, the long and spectacular procession left the village one by one and headed westward.Family members rushed out of the village one after another, waved goodbye reluctantly.

On the other side of the merchant village, shopkeeper Qian and others also came out to see the big guy off, and shopkeeper Qian patted his chest to promise.

"Don't worry, everyone, my old Qian Yizhun will find you with your family in a few months."

"I'm familiar with Su'an County. I did business there when I was young. It's safe!"

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Qian." Everyone thanked him with a smile.

Xue Andong ran over, patted Shopkeeper Qian's shoulder sympathetically, and whispered in his ear:
"The tiger penis wine was smashed by my sister-in-law, right? Don't worry, old money, if I meet a tiger on the road, I will kill it. I will keep the tiger penis and tiger eggs for you."
"No need, no need." Shopkeeper Qian waved his hands again and again, "That little doctor Xue girl gave us a bottle of magic medicine, and now your sister-in-law is tamed like a cat by me.'

Xue Andong still didn't believe it. At this moment, Mrs. Qian came over with a face of tenderness, and put the cloak in her hand on the treasurer Qian thoughtfully.

"Hey, my lord, why don't you wear a cloak in such a cold day, so as not to freeze."

That voice was so gentle.
Xue Andong's goosebumps came up, is this Mrs. Qian who chased shopkeeper Qian all over the street?
"Old Qian, we'll be waiting for you in Su'an County." After speaking, he nodded to the treasurer Qian with a sense of relief, and strode away with a long bow.

The four sledges that Xiao Ningxue and his family used to load goods were snatched away by Xiao Zhengfang and the others in the blink of an eye.There are so many young and strong men, with nowhere to use all their strength, rushing to do things everywhere.

The sleds in the hands of the not-so-high-captors all went to them, and they dragged the children to run fast, letting out a series of laughter.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Han dragged Xiao Shan and Mrs. Xiao respectively, both of whom practiced kung fu, and easily killed strong men from all directions on the battlefield.

Wu Chongwen held Xiao Ningxue's hand, carrying it on his back and hugging her. Anyone who accidentally glanced at them would always be stuffed with dog food.

At this moment Wu Chongwen wrapped his wife in his arms, and looked back at the Qiganling barracks from a distance.

In another ten days, Prince Wu will arrive here. With him guarding this place, it is as solid as gold.

And his mission to the west this time is to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Chongshan, to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Chongshan, to keep things safe at home and abroad, and to drag back the building that is about to collapse step by step, hoping that everything will go well.

With the pace of advancement, the village, military camp, and Qiganling were all left behind.

At noon, the team crossed the Luo River and headed to the west in a mighty way.

There is a vast expanse of white snow, and the road has long been covered with ice and snow. It is right to go all the way west.

Everyone has the experience of camping in the wild. After the camp is selected in the evening, the deep snow is dug away, an oilcloth tent is set up, and thatched mats are spread, and then wooden boards and bedding are laid.

It is not too cold to wear rabbit fur earmuffs or fur hats when sleeping, and there are high snow walls to block the wind.

Anyway, they are all strong young people, what kind of suffering can't afford it?
In this way, 20 days passed in the blink of an eye.

During the period, I also encountered many dangers, such as jackals and leopards. They were all repelled by everyone without any danger.

The farther west you go, the more desolate it becomes. In the end, even the mountains and forests are hard to find, and there are endless snow hills.

Fortunately, preparations have been made, and every household has brought charcoal, otherwise the meal would not be cooked.

But relying on these charcoals alone can't last long, and everyone can't help feeling anxious.

In the evening of that day, a village appeared in front of him.

The village is quiet, like a dead village, covered or crushed by thick snow and ice.

After Xue Andong and Gao Butou led people to investigate, they came out shaking their heads.

"In the village, many people froze to death."

"They are thinly dressed, and they seem to be the people who retreated from Pingyang County to the north."
