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

Chapter 6

As they rowed downstream, the tops of lush mulberry trees floated on the water.

The scenery is not bad, but if you look into the water, you can see the dead bodies sinking in the water.

The black girl clutched her stomach, and said softly: "In a few days, these corpses will float up. Once the sun shines, the crows will circle the water surface, which is very scary."

Yu'an glanced at the black girl.

"How do you know so clearly?"

The black girl glanced at Yu'an.

"Naturally, I have experienced it. I have grown up so much, and there have been many floods in the river, but it has never been as terrible as it is now."

Yu'an whispered: "The Han army in the upper reaches blew up Su Causeway."

The black girl sat up from the cabin and said in shock: "It exploded? How could someone do such a thing."

Yu'an shook her head and said nothing, as if she didn't want to say anything more to the fisherman girl.

But Shu Yan asked, "Hei girl, do you have a name?"

The black girl blinked her big eyes, and said something glutinously.

"Xiao Yuer, uncle calls me Xiao Yuer."

Xiao Yu'er looked at Yu'an at the side, and asked curiously, "What's his name?"

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Yu'an."

Xiao Yu'er said enviously: "His name is so nice, it looks like he has read a book."

When talking about reading, Yu'an's little face is a little rosy.

When he was in the Chen Mansion, Mrs. Chen praised him for reading well, so he held the book in his arms every day.

His birth was unknown and he was rejected by others. Only when he picked up the book did he feel a little bit of existence.

Seeing that Yu'an was a little complacent, Shu Yan laughed.

"Yu'an reads well."

Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she grabbed Yu'an's hand and begged, "Can you teach me to read and write?"

It was raining lightly again, and there were a lot of sundries floating on the water.

In the small cabin, the sound of children reading can be heard.

Shu Yan rowed the boat towards the land, but the water system in the river was dense, and it was the rainy season at this time, the flood did not show any sign of receding, instead it was getting worse.

Their boat sailed to a town.

Most of the buildings have been destroyed, but fortunately this town is on a higher terrain.

A large group of people who had escaped from death gathered on a high place, and beside them was a towering pile of dead people.

After the flood, the corpses must be disposed of early, otherwise the plague will inevitably break out.

Shu Yan and the others sat on the boat and watched, only to see a few young men bring kerosene and firewood and burn the hilly corpse.

The fire suddenly lit up, and a strong burnt smell came.

The fire light distorted the air somewhat, but at this moment, the sound of chanting scriptures came from the fire.

Shu Yan rowed the boat closer, and saw an acquaintance.

It was the little novice who walked with Qixiu that day. The monk's monk's robes were already tattered, but he still knelt on the ground persistently, looking extremely pious.

Shu Yan parked the boat on the shore and whispered a few words into Yu'an's ear.

Yu'an nodded and got off the boat, ran to the monk and said a few words.

Then he returned to his grandma.

After the monk listened to Yu'an's words, his face turned pale. He looked at Shu Yan, who pointed upstream.

That woman named Qixiu is probably more ominous than good.

Shu Yan ran out of strength, so she asked Xiao Yu'er and Yu'an to row the boat, she nestled in the cabin, and had a good sleep.

When she woke up, they had reached a small hill.

The terrain here is relatively high and uninhabited, so it is a good place to camp temporarily.

Shu Yan got off the boat, stretched his old bones, and suddenly heard a crisp sound all over his body.

Xiao Yu'er took out the dried fish on the boat, and found Shu Yan's old buddy, the weather-beaten pot.

She set up a pot to boil water and boiled a large pot of dried fish.

The three of them had a full meal, then lay down on the hill and slept for a while, and slept until night.

Shu Yan woke up in a gust of cold wind. She opened her eyes and found that it was already dark and the fire in front of them had gone out.

Shu Yan hurriedly looked at his boat, the boat was still there.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard the playful laughter of a man on the shore.

"An old woman with her own grandchildren, you are really lucky."

Shu Yan quickly picked up the charcoal firewood at hand, she took two steps forward, and saw a man with a thigh injury.

This man was tall, handsome, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes. At first glance, he was not a good person.

The man's clothes were completely wet, his hands turned white from the blisters, it was obvious that he had just come out of the water.

It doesn't look like much strength, it doesn't seem like it can threaten them.

Shu Yan said quickly: "I don't care if an old woman dies, but these two children are different."

Shu Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said, but the man said, "She's an amiable old lady."

Shu Yan didn't want to provoke this person, so she reached out her hand to shake Yu'an and Xiao Yu'er.

"Let's go."

When the man heard that Shu Yan was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, grandma, help me."

It's fine for Shu Yan to be called grandma by seven or eight-year-old children. This man looks like he is in his 20s, so he is suitable to be her son.

Shu Yan said coldly, "I don't have a grandson as old as you."

The man hurriedly said with a playful smile: "Then mother, godmother, please save me."

What Shu Yan said was a little disgusting, she dropped a piece of dried fish, and left with the two children.

In this kind of world, she can't show kindness, and keeping Xiao Yu'er, she is already impulsive, and she can't bring another disaster.

And this man doesn't look like a good person.

Shu Yan and the two children rowed away in a small boat, and the man lying on the shore showed a terrible smile at Shu Yan.

Xiao Yu'er hid in the corner with some fear.

"That man is so scary, like the water ghost that uncle said."

Yu'an was quite calm, he said, "What water ghost?"

Xiao Yuer became interested.

"It's a monster that lives in the water. It always lurks in places where fishing boats come and go at night, and often capsizes the boat when the fisherman isn't paying attention..."

At this moment, their boat suddenly jolted.

Seeing a pale hand protruding from the water, Shu Yan and the others were shocked and couldn't move.

A moment later, the man who was lying on the shore grabbed the side of the boat and looked at them fiercely.

The man said viciously: "I even recognize you as a godmother, it's really abominable that you are so cruel and leave me there."

The man shook the boat with his hands, and the three of them felt that the sky was spinning, and the boat was almost overturned by this guy.

"Pull me up!!"

The man glared angrily, looking very scary, Shu Yan had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull him out of the water.

After getting close, Shu Yan finally saw clearly that this person was wearing the uniform of the Han army.

He is a soldier.

The man also noticed the change in Shu Yan's expression.
