Return to the beginning of fleeing from famine, holding space to counterattack

Chapter 68 It's Really a War

Wei Haixiu found that there were more and more people fleeing famine on the road these days, so she couldn't help but talk to someone.

"Hey, ma'am, you are also going to escape?"

The aunt raised her head and glanced at Wei Haixiu, then pointed to the densely packed people on the road and said.

"Which one on this road is not fleeing? Aren't you also fleeing?"

Wei Haixiu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, where are you from, Ma'am?"

The aunt shook her head and sighed heavily, and said desolately: "There are no people, no family, no one here!"

Wei Haixiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Auntie, did you also meet a robber?"

"A robber? Yes, isn't it just a robber?" The aunt wiped her tears and continued, "The son was taken away, and the grandson was also taken away. He is still so young, how can he fight on the battlefield? Isn't this what made him Is he going to die?"

Someone next to him couldn't help interjecting: "A few days ago, I saw many troops passing by. I heard that the enemy army has already attacked and many people have died. We have to run quickly, otherwise we will wait until the enemy army hits here. We're going to die."

"That's right, that's right, I also saw an army rushing over there, so densely packed, it scared me to death."

"I didn't want to leave home at first, but I didn't have any crops this year, so I couldn't live any longer. Now there is a war again, and the imperial court is vigorously collecting food and soldiers, forcing us to flee!"

"Hey, it's a war, we ordinary people have no way to survive."

"Whether there is a war or not, there is no way to survive. My family has long run out of food, and now I can't even find wild vegetables. I will starve to death sooner or later."

"I haven't had serious food in my stomach for a long time. Alas, it doesn't matter whether I escape or not. Forget it, I'll just sit here and wait to die!" After speaking, the man really found a place to sit down, causing There are many people's eyes.

Wei Haixiu limped back to Jiang Nanqing and the others, and whispered to Jiang Shidong who was sitting on the cart.

"Master, it's really a war. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we might not know what will happen!"

Jiang Shidong nodded and said: "Then we have to hurry, if the enemy troops come here, we will die."

"Xinliang, are you exhausted? I'll come down." Jiang Shidong looked at Jiang Xinliang who was sweating profusely as he pushed the cart.

Jiang Xinliang quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, Dad, you are injured and can't come down, I'm really fine, don't worry."

Jiang Shidong said with guilt on his face: "It's been so long, let's find a place to rest!"

Jiang Nanqing patted Jiang Xinliang and said: "Xinliang, let's go to the front to rest and rest, don't be brave, if you collapse from exhaustion, there is nothing I can do."

Jiang Xinliang nodded, he knew that he really couldn't fall down, and now both his parents were injured.

My mother is better, but my father is not. Now I can't walk on the ground at all, and I have to be pushed by someone, so I can't fall down no matter how tired I am, otherwise the burden will be all on my sister.

While resting, Wei Haixiu wanted to check how Jiang Shidong's wound was doing, but Jiang Shidong couldn't save his face and shook his head.

"People come and go here, how decent it is."

"What time is it now, you still care about this, stop talking, let me see how your injury is doing, and your medicine should be changed, it's so hot today, don't suffocate the wound." OK." Wei Haixiu said with a worried face.
