Don't panic when fleeing famine, she has become the godmother of all the bosses

Chapter 2 The Suffering of Corvée
With only two legs, how could a man outrun the horses of the rebels.

Fortunately, Shu Yan was kind-hearted and had a child with her, so even the most vicious soldiers were unwilling to kill her.

Shu Yan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, pulled her little grandson and cried, "Master Jun, please spare me, Lord Jun, please spare me."

The military master sighed, "Hurry up and go."

Shu Yan hurriedly pulled up his little grandson and ran forward, but those who have a soft heart naturally have a hard heart.

The two were still arrested.

Shu Yan was taken to a small boss, who frowned when he saw Shu Yan.

"What are you doing here with an old woman and a young child? Can you move the sand on your back, or can you go to the army tent and vent fire to your brothers?"

The soldier said: "Didn't Master Zou say that you need to find a cook who can cook Jiangnan cuisine? Young girls, no matter how beautiful or ugly they are, are all military prostitutes. Doesn't that mean there is no one to cook?"

Hearing the word military prostitute, Shu Yan's eyelids twitched, and looking aside, he saw dozens of young women and children being pushed and pushed, among them was a woman named Qixiu whom she had seen a few days earlier.

Her previous worries had actually come true. When a woman went out alone, it was like walking at night with gold and silver in her arms.

Shu Yan hurriedly said: "Master, old lady, I can cook meals. I used to be the cook of a big family in Hangzhou. I can make good soup. Please arrange a better errand for me."

Shu Yan took out a fine silk handkerchief and stuffed it into the leader's hand.

The boss took a look at Shu Yan.

"Can you make sea bass and water shield soup?"

Shu Yan knew in her mind that she couldn't do it, but she subconsciously said, "I know it."

Shu Yan thought about it carefully, she somehow knew how to cook this dish.

Shu Yan hugged her little grandson, and looked at the leader pleadingly.

The leader waved his hand and said, "You take this child with you too, don't make more trouble."

Hearing this, Shu Yan hurriedly took his little grandson to thank the leader.

Then the two were taken aside by the military man, and there was still an acquaintance standing here, who was the old man who let the grandparent and grandson run away.

The old man looked at the two helplessly.

"Why don't you run faster?"

Shu Yan was helpless.

The refugees followed the rebels to their destination, and Shu Yan was with the old man. She asked, "Why are you building river embankments these days?"

The old man sneered.

"Xiu? They are going to blow up and flood 36 cities in the middle of the river. The imperial army will not be able to encircle them here."

"Then what about the people?"

The little grandson Chen Yu'an asked questions on behalf of Shu Yan.

The old man was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Chen Yu'an, and for some reason, tears flashed in his eyes.

"People who have rebelled from ancient times to the present have never thought about the people."

After hearing this, Shu Yan felt that this old man was not simple, he presumably was a scholar.

She saw her little grandson clenched his fist.

They followed the rebels for a whole day without eating anything, Shu Yan's footsteps were flimsy, and Chen Yu'an's face turned pale.

Shu Yan was a little anxious, but as soon as she stopped, those soldiers pointed guns at them, and Shu Yan had no choice but to hold his little grandson's hand tightly.

"Yu'an, hold on a little longer and drink some water."

Chen Yu'an took a big sip of water, but her complexion was still not good.

The old man at the side saw it, and took out a piece of oil-paper-wrapped thing from his arms, and stuffed it into Chen Yu'an's hand.

"Don't let others see it."

Chen Yu'an quickly took it, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.

The child ate in a hurry and choked again.

Shu Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to comfort the child, and said warmly, "Thank you, grandpa."

Chen Yu'an raised her head, looked at the thin-faced old man, and asked with some gratitude: "Grandpa, what's your name? There is a saying in the book that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring."

The old man only replied: "My surname is Su, you can call me Grandpa Su."

Chen Yu'an called out obediently.

In this year, a mouthful of food can really save a person. They arrived at the Lijiang River in the afternoon.

Here is the Ping An embankment built by the famous ministers of the former dynasty to block the water of the Taotao River in the upper reaches of the Lijiang River. If the embankment is blown up.

In the 36 counties downstream, hundreds of thousands of people are devastated.

Shu Yan stood on both sides of the Lijiang River with the refugees in ragged clothes. They could only see the water of Baizhang River clearly, but they couldn't see the opposite bank.

Grandpa Su's eyes were piercing, looking down at the long embankment that looked like a jade belt.

"The embankment built by the Su University scholar in the previous dynasty has protected the people downstream for a hundred years, but now it is..."

A whip appeared behind Grandpa Su's back. In an instant, the clothes behind his back were ripped apart, and his skin was torn apart. Everyone gasped when they saw it.

Shu Yan raised his head, only to see the soldier riding on the tall horse said in a cold voice, "If you say any more, I will throw you into the Li River."

The roaring sound of the rolling Lijiang River made Shu Yan hold Yu'an's hand tightly.

They were placed on the shore, and each found a place, surrounded by military guards, so naturally they couldn't escape.

After a while, several soldiers came on horseback, and immediately each tied two bags. The soldier cut it with a knife, and rice bran pancakes fell out of it.

Shu Yan hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but only caught four pancakes.

The people next to her wanted to snatch her, so Shu Yan hurriedly covered the pancakes on his chest and lay down on the ground, when the soldier saw someone snatching them, he beat them severely.

"Pull out that looting person!"

A thin man was pulled out, the soldier stabbed the man in the stomach, blood and intestines flowed all over the place, everyone saw this and immediately kept quiet.

Shu Yan hurriedly got up and gave one of the pancakes to Yu'an. She then looked at the old man Su who was sitting far away from her, and said to him, "Master Su, sit closer, let's take care of each other."

There are not many old people here, Grandpa Su looked around and sat in front of them.

Shu Yan distributed the pancakes to Grandpa Su.

Yu'an took a bite of the pancake, and her expression turned ugly.

"Grandma, these pancakes are so unpalatable."

The pancakes are mixed with the taste of rice bran that cannot be tasted, and there are some stones.

I only heard Grandpa Su say: "On weekdays, these things are for animals to eat."

Shu Yan took a bite and looked around. They may not be as good as beasts. She had read some books in her previous life, which talked about ancient warfare. Consumes some enemy weapons.

Fortunately, although it is difficult at this moment, it cannot reach the worst step.

After they finished eating, it was already dark.

Many young soldiers came in from outside, and pulled young women from among the refugees, a few timid ones burst into tears.

The leading army man chopped down the man with a single knife, and the women just became honest.

But Qixiu became hysterical, she screamed: "You guys are bold, I'm not an ordinary person! You can't treat me like this!!"

He said viciously: "Not ordinary people? The princesses and ladies in the capital have long been thrown into the barracks by our heavenly king. Even if you are the heavenly king, you have to suffer like this!"

Qixiu's face was pale, and she let the soldiers carry her out.

Yu'an said to herself, "Grandma, I'm afraid."
