Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 18: Little Green

first month of 310 AD

The straight road from Luoyang to Bingzhou Pingcheng (Datong, Shanxi) was cut off. Jinyang had already been occupied by Liu Yuan, and Liu Kunzai and Tuoba Yilu were going to join forces in Pingcheng, so we had to take a detour.

Along the way, apart from the dead bodies everywhere, dilapidated houses, many refugees were moving slowly towards Jizhou, and choosing to go south was a bad idea for the people at that time, because Jiangnan was really remote at that time...

Ran Zhan was driving the carriage, and Liu Yan also sat in the front of the car, alternating driving with Ran Zhan.

I was alone in the carriage taking care of a little girl who was rescued on the side of the road. She was about 10 years old. When I found her, she was only breathless. Her whole body was hungry and only skinny. Her mother stopped me. Facing the fast-moving carriage, she stood in front of our carriage without any hesitation, and knelt on the ground without any intention of avoiding it...

If it wasn't for Ran Zhan's driving skills, he managed to restrain the galloping horse at such a critical moment, maybe the mother and daughter would be crushed by the carriage in an instant. I wonder what kind of power it is Let this mother do this?I slowly got out of the car and looked at the woman in front of me. Those eyes were full of fear and helplessness. Her frail soul caused her withered body to tremble violently. She was disheveled, and the breasts exposed on her chest were already What was shriveled was only the skin. My guards had already formed a human wall to keep them out as mother and daughter. I walked slowly to the front and saw a little girl beside her, powerless. Lying on the ground, really skinny, looking at it like this, if there is no more food to eat, I'm afraid it won't last long...

My heart was caught in an instant, how similar are orphans and widows to me?

I saw the little girl's eyes staring straight at her mother, and she kept calling her mother with a feeble voice. I think it should be her mother's previous behavior that scared her...

I glanced at Ran Zhan, his eyes were dull, I thought he had seen too much, so I had no choice but to look at Liu Yan, the big brother who should be with me from now on, I looked into her eyes Showed his pleading.

Liu Yan knew that I was showing kindness, but how could he not be moved by this scene? If the mother didn't take this risk, maybe our convoy would just pass by, and what awaited them would be death.I really feel sorry for the parents of the world...

Liu Yan nodded, and the guards also took out some dry food to give the mother and daughter something to eat first.But at this moment, an unexpected scene happened again...

The dry woman seemed to be moved by her daughter's calling. She lowered her head and took a deep look at her daughter. There was indescribable love and reluctance in her eyes. This mother couldn't hear me clearly. What, she just stared in my direction and looked around me very carefully. When she saw that I looked at a young man leading the team with pleading eyes, and the young man finally nodded in agreement, she Only then did he retract his gaze, and slowly lowered his head, looking thoughtful...

When the guards around me took out dry food to help their mother and daughter, she suddenly pushed away her daughter's little hands that were tightly clutching her, turned her head, and without looking at her daughter again, she stood up and went to the hospital again. I took a deep look in my direction, and slammed into the dead tree not far away without hesitation. The guards were also stunned by the scene in front of them. They didn't react for a while. When the guards reacted, they wanted to make a move It was too late to save...

When examining the corpse, the guards found that there were maggots on her body, and the wound on her stomach had already eroded. It should be because she knew that she would not live long...

If she just wants to ask for alms, I think she will never stop the car with her own daughter in her arms. In this mother's view, the car team is definitely a family. As long as the car team can be stopped, their mother The daughter may still be saved, but how to let others take her in, this mother actually doesn't know what to do?Now it is unexpectedly discovered that there is a noble child in the convoy, and this child is not accompanied by a maidservant of a similar age. And with sympathy, then her daughter has the hope to stay, and if she is alive, then the adults around the child will definitely use various reasons to shirk, and will never take in her mother and daughter, at most it is only for herself and her daughter. A little food that won't last long, and they will leave quickly again. Even if God is pitiful, the people in this team are willing to take in their mother and daughter, but if they follow them together in this situation, it will only make people dislike themselves and their daughter, so... …

When I thought of this, I covered my mouth with my hand, and tears flowed uncontrollably in an instant. Although my parents are dead, I have no worries about food and clothing, and I am a princess raised in a deep boudoir. How could I know? The world is so miserable.Although I hear people say how miserable the outside world is every day, it was not until what I saw with my own eyes along the way and what happened today that I really realized how miserable it is for refugees without the blessing of a wealthy family to live in this era. I really can't calm down. . . . . .

The convoy is still on its way, and only stops in some big towns to replenish food. The prime minister gave me sufficient supplies, money and food when I came out, so there is really no shortage of anything.

I gently fed her a little water to drink. It’s not good to drink too much after being thirsty for so long, so I just smeared water on her lips first, so that she can feel moisturized slowly, and then give her a small amount Drink water, and then I wait for her to wake up before feeding her some rice porridge and pancakes.I chopped the pancakes into pieces and put them in rice porridge and fed them to her. I took care of her like this for three days.She gradually got better, because of the bumps of the carriage, I didn't let her get up, she saw that I had been taking care of her, she just nodded gratefully, and then turned her face alone, so that I wouldn't see her crying, but I can Hearing her slight and choked voice: Mother...

When I heard that word, I felt a sore heart, they are all motherless children...

Finally, we are approaching Guangwu County (a part of today's Dai County, located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, under Yanmen Pass), where there is the "China's first pass" Yanmen Pass, and the first floor of the Great Wall - Bianjing Tower (the building hangs "sound" "Wen Sida" giant plaque is the first plaque in Asia), how many historical events are related to this pass: Mu Tianzi's west tour, Hufu riding and shooting, Baideng's siege, Mayi's conspiracy, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, Emperor Xiaowen's southward migration, Yang The emperor's northern tour, the Jingkang change, Cixi's flight to the south, etc. have affected the course of Chinese history.

There is also Mount Wutai nearby, the Bairenyan Temple, the first ashram of the Buddhist master Shi Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the ancestral home of the Pure Land, and the hometown of Daiguo.A large producing area of ​​iron ore, limestone, gold, silver and copper are also rich in mineral deposits.

I looked at the scenery of this place carefully. Compared with other places, this place is really good. The vegetation on the mountain is still green. We, a group of more than 70 people, gradually entered the center of this ancient city. There are refugees and crowded all the way On the street, the little girl looked at me with fear in her eyes.

I understand, she was afraid that I would leave her when she got better, so I gave her another sip of water. In fact, I am much younger than her, but I didn't look unfamiliar at all when taking care of her.

When we arrived at the Guanyi, Yicheng came forward to receive us. He really didn't expect people from the south, and he was the capital, so his attitude was very respectful and he basically responded to our requests.

I live with this little girl, and I do need a maid to look after her.

It was also the first time I was alone with a little girl. The little girl looked at me and said timidly, "Master...I'm not in good health yet..."

I was speechless, I was dressed in men's clothes all the way, no different from a 7-year-old boy, but compared with me in women's clothes, I was more handsome and unrestrained.

I'm only under 4 years old, I'm really speechless, are the nobles of this era very perverted?But what can I do even if I am 7 years old?

I didn't explain, just waved my hand and told her helplessly that I was a woman.

I'm very helpless, if I don't say that I am a girl, don't be so strange tonight, but as a boy, why do I say that I am a girl so naturally... I am really speechless to myself.

The little girl looked at me in surprise, but her eyes were actually a little bit lost.

I wonder, is it wrong that I am a woman?

The little girl looked at my fluctuating expression, turned her head slowly, and seemed to be talking to herself: "It would be great if I was really a young master...".

My ears are good, I can hear something so light, is it my fault?Men can't do it, and women can't do it either? ? ?

My angry look added a lot of childishness, and the little girl smiled relievedly when she saw me.The gap between me and Xiaolu seems to have eased a lot...

The little girl went to refill the tea on her own, and cleaned up a little bit so that I could sleep more comfortably.

I looked at her busy figure, she was a small person, but she was pretty, and I asked, "Do you have a name?"

"My mother called me Xiaolu, and said that when she gave birth to me, she could still eat fresh vegetables, those tender vegetables with dew... So my father named me Xiaolu."

"Xiaolu? That's right, Aunt Hong's name is Xiaohong, haha"

"Slaves don't dare to compare with Miss's aunt...Miss, I won't drive Xiaolu away from now on..."

"Why do you want to drive you away? I have never had a playmate of my own since I was a child. You can follow me from now on. I will call you Xiaolu."

"Well, miss, why do you dress up like a son?" Xiaolu's eyes flashed a hint of disappointment again inexplicably.

I comforted her helplessly. It was impossible for me to tell her that I was really a boy, so I could only comfort her: "The road is dangerous, if I hadn't been accompanied by Jingqi along the way, I don't know how many times I was robbed , it is a question of whether he was ordered to come to Guangwu County."

"That's right, I'm with my mother..." Xiaolu's eyes suddenly turned red again...

I was also speechless for a moment, her mother's death was too miserable, no one could accept such a fact at once, and that miserable scene kept popping up in front of my eyes.I can only silently accompany this little girl. . . . . .

After a while, Xiaolu said again: "Miss, what kind of family are we?" There are guards to protect, and the neat equipment is not something that ordinary people can have, so she is really puzzled Also very anxious.

I watched her for a long time. I don't know why, I am usually very wary of other people's questions, but when I think of her mother, my heart softens. Since we will be together in the future, we will know sooner or later.I said calmly: "I am Princess Mingyue. These people are all the entourage given to me by Prime Minister Sima Yue and some servants of my teacher. Well, there is also my good brother, his name is Ran Zhan, who is so tall and good. A burly young man, he is only a little over 11 years old, can you believe it? Hehe, there is also Liu Yan, my teacher’s son-in-law, and I call him brother. You can call me like me.”

"Slaves don't dare, I'd better call Master Liang and Mr. Yan." Xiaolu's face was filled with words of shock, she was indeed shocked, she actually had something to do with the royal family, and even became the princess's servant, this is Pie in the sky? ?Xiaolu secretly pinched her face with her hands while talking.

"It's up to you, you can call me Xiaocao from now on, the nickname my father gave me."

"I should call it when there is no one else, and I should call it princess when there are people, otherwise I will be thrown away regardless of superiority or inferiority!" Xiaolu was a little panicked, why does this princess have no temper at all? ?Is it because it is too small?

"It's not wrong for you to call me princess in the prime minister's mansion, but you know you want to call me son when you get here?"

"The servant knows."

I felt helpless when I saw Xiaolu's expression of dignity and inferiority. If there is no dignity or inferiority in this era, maybe people don't know how to live. I sighed helplessly in my heart.

I suddenly heard a loud noise outside, and I felt a little impatient. The noise came from outside the post house, and they were all women's voices. I looked at Xiaolu a little strangely.

Xiaolu's face turned red, she knew exactly what was going on, but the princess asked questions, so Xiaolu had no choice but to say honestly: "Princess, these are the women among the refugees who came here to solicit customers..."

"Their husbands don't care? Why are they so shameless?"

Xiaolu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she said with a bit of pain, "Princess, it's not what you imagined, these women go to solicit customers to earn some food, and then take it back to their families Eat, many of them are the whole family fleeing for their lives, their husbands are dead, disabled, or sick, and the whole family needs to rely on them to sell themselves to maintain a day's ration..."

Obviously, I heard from Xiaolu's words that her mother did it too... and my words undoubtedly hurt her...

I looked at Xiaolu with gentle eyes, held her hand, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry..."

Xiaolu naturally knew that these refugees were nothing in the eyes of the dignitaries, so she never thought that I would apologize to her. The tears in her eyes could no longer be stopped, she sat down on the ground and sobbed: "mother……"

Just when I didn't know how to comfort the crying little green, there was a knock on the door...
