Chapter 22 Temporary Settlement
Cheng San looked very skillful in this technique, and the soldier asked curiously: "You are a pretty good boy, follow us to be a military doctor in the Han army, is it better than staying in your hometown and wasting your life?"
Shu Yan's complexion changed immediately when he heard this, Cheng San smiled and said: "What the military master said is that I will join the army today, but the younger brother at home is infected with the plague, and I am afraid of going to the barracks..."
When the soldiers heard this, their faces changed immediately, and they hurriedly took him away.
Before leaving, he said viciously: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She patted Cheng San on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You really have some wisdom in life."
Cheng San's expression didn't relax at all, he closed the door and said to Shu Yan quite seriously: "Longyun's people have guarded the entrance of the city, they should be looking for someone, we can't get out right now."
Shu Yan looked around, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.
War chaos is really more terrible than natural disasters, and those soldiers will kill people if they are unhappy.
Shu Yan asked, "Then what shall we do? Can we sneak out while it's dark?"
Cheng San smiled helplessly, and he said, "It's okay for me to sneak out by myself, but this big family is old, weak, sick and disabled, how can we hide it from others?"
Shu Yan was worried immediately, Cheng San went straight to the kitchen to get two big buns and started to eat them, they were very comfortable to eat.
It's just that when Cheng San saw that there were only a few buns left after making so many buns, he couldn't help but mutter.
"The buns made by the common people were all taken away by those people."
Shu Yan leaned against the door, suddenly thought of something, she clapped her hands suddenly, and said to Cheng San: "I have an idea, maybe I can get out of the city."
After two or three days, the Han army recruited many soldiers in the city, and many people made trouble.
At noon that day, an old woman appeared at the east gate, followed by two children and a man. The man was pushing a pair of carts, and there seemed to be corpses lying on the carts.
The old woman cried very sadly, and when she reached the gate of the city, a soldier stopped her.
"There is an order from the general, no mourning."
Shu Yan wiped the tears from his face, cried and said: "My daughter died of the plague, if I don't hurry to find a place outside the city to bury her, the whole family will be dragged down by her..."
Hearing this, the soldier took a step back immediately, but still ordered someone to remove the white cloth, only to see that the woman's face and body were covered with sores, and it was obvious that she had some serious illness, and there was an extremely difficult smell.
The soldier immediately said with disgust: "Hurry up and take him away, it's disgusting to death."
Cheng San hurriedly pushed the cart through the city gate, but just as he was about to leave the city, several people on tall horses walked up to him.
The leader was that General Long, Shu Yan hurriedly pulled him to kneel down.
But fortunately, Long Yun was so preoccupied at this time that he didn't look at it too much. Instead, the military adviser beside him said coldly, "What are they going to do?"
The soldier hurriedly replied.
"Reporting to the military commander, the woman on the cart is a woman suffering from an epidemic disease. If you don't send it out of the city, I'm afraid it will delay the big event."
The military division winked at a soldier, and the soldier quickly removed the white cloth, and a foul smell came over him, causing the military division to frown.
"Take it away quickly."
After the military master finished speaking, he rode away on the horse, and Shu Yan hurriedly pushed the cart up with Cheng San.
This way out of the city gate, Shu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, their donkeys were confessed to be in the city, but it's okay to come out with a cart.
They pushed her to the edge of a pond a few miles away, Qixiu got up from the cart and went down to wash off the smell on her body.
Shu Yan said with some guilt: "It made you suffer."
Qixiu smiled.
"I didn't expect that my illness would have such benefits."
After a few people repaired here, they hurriedly pushed the cart to the northwest.
Cheng San was pushing the cart, and Yu'an was lying on the cart. The child's health had improved a lot, but his spirit was still a little sluggish.
Because he was afraid of the pursuers, he didn't dare to stay, so he had to travel day and night and walked for more than ten days before finding a place to rest.
After walking for these days, they should have already left the boundary of Yingzhou, and after crossing the Huaihe River, they have already reached the hinterland of the Central Plains.
There was just a flood here the year before last, hungry people were everywhere, and the mountains were full of bandits. They couldn't leave alone, so they had to find a place and wait for the refugee team to cross the Huaihe River together.
And they have to build a boat that can cross the Huai River, which is no small project.
Here is a huge tidal flat, a large deserted farmland in the distance, and dilapidated houses.
Shu Yan and the others found a house that was in good condition. In fact, it was in good condition, but it only had an extra roof compared to other houses, and one wall had completely collapsed.
But the sun is better here, and there is a bed left.
Cheng San and the others settled the matter, then found some bricks from other places, and built up the stepped wall.
Shu Yan took Qixiu to the river to dig some river mud, and then reinforced the small house after returning.
After working hard all day, they settled the quilts and found a place to sleep.
Cheng San also pushed the cart in and turned it into a second bed.
After finishing all these tasks, Qixiu started to live and cook. The food she brought before was running out, so Cheng San took Xiaoyuer to the river to catch fish.
Shu Yan took Yu'an to dig wild vegetables.
The most common thing to do on the way to escape is to dig wild vegetables, because there is always no enough to eat on the way, but the wild vegetables are always growing.
Yu'an's body is better, but she is much more silent than before. She knew how to read before, but now she doesn't like reading very much.
Shu Yan squatted down and pulled out a wild vegetable.
"Why have you been depressed these few days, are you still in good health?"
Yu'an shook her head, and said softly, "Grandma, I just feel that reading is useless. The people in the world are living as hard as us."
Shu Yan was a little surprised when such a young child said such words, she reached out and touched Yu'an's head.
"There is a saying that is good, if you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. If you study hard, you will surely benefit the people of the world in the future."
Yu'an nodded, he lowered his head, hesitated for a while and said, "Before, I was very rude to Uncle Cheng San, but he found medicine for me, grandma, please help me apologize to him in a while. "
This child Yu'an is kind-hearted and very cute. Shu Yan touched Yu'an's little face and said with a smile, "Okay, grandma will tell you later."
After the two picked the wild vegetables, they went back and put the wild vegetables in to cook.
After the wild vegetable porridge was ready, Cheng San and Xiao Yu'er also came back, holding two fish in their hands, obviously they had gained something.
Xiao Yuer ran over excitedly and said with a smile, "Look, grandma!"
What Xiao Yuer held in his hand was a pearl.
Xiao Yuer: "I found this in the river!"
