After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 88 The Escaped Team

If you are old and well-connected, you will have more aristocratic families; when you are old, it is impossible to go out to listen to operas.It's just boring for an old lady to appreciate alone, and it's only lively if you invite three or five... ten female family members to come; I am tired of looking at the faces at home.

So, whenever she receives fresh and interesting gossip, why is she not willing to share it with other old sisters?
He Lingchuan shook his head.The old man sent a lot of people to the capital, so Granny He will not be the only one who will spread the news.The second child's deduction is correct, the father is trying his best to promote the rumors in the market, so that Wang Ting has no chance to deny the He family's contribution.

On his way to dinner, two lightning flashes suddenly rolled across the sky.

It had only been sunny for two days, and the dull thunder returned together with the heavy rain.

……

The downpour made it hard to keep your eyes open, He Lingchuan wiped the water from his face.In just a dozen or so breaths of work, even his underpants and socks were soaked, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body.

He went to the thatched cottage after dinner, but as soon as he came out, the scene changed completely.

It was pitch black all around, and the He family's dead wind lamp was gone, only the occasional flashes of lightning in the sky could borrow the light.

Although it was too dark to see clearly, He Lingchuan was very sure that this was not the He Mansion, because the dense weeds in front of him were as tall as a man.If the gardeners of the He Mansion dared to be so lazy and fish for fish, they would have been kicked out by Madam Ying long ago.

There is mud, sand, water, and grass roots on the ground. He walks one step deep and one foot shallow. There is no way ahead, so he can only push the grass forward.

He Lingchuan glanced back and found that there was a huge rock behind him, and not even a calamus grew on the steep and complete basalt.

There is no way to go, so we can only go forward.

The young man groped forward, walked more than ten feet, and suddenly his feet were empty!
He has been concentrating on it all the time, and he only puts his weight on the ground. At this time, his left foot suddenly stepped on the air without panic, and he retreated back.

Pushing aside the grass, He Lingchuan realized that this was a dead end.

There is a cliff at the foot, with a drop of seven or eight feet (more than 20 meters) from the ground.

If he stepped on the air and rolled down, his life might not be lost, at least he would fall half to death.

He Lingchuan sighed and wiped off the grass seeds all over his face together with the rain.How did this show up in the wild mountains?With the previous experience, he was not too surprised.

Any such inexplicable scene switching + incoherent memory is probably a broken knife and another mischief.

But when this guy dragged him into the dream, couldn't he just hand him the knife?Even if it can only cut grass to open the way.

Now, where is he going?
Two consecutive blue and white lightning bolts in the sky illuminated the universe and He Lingchuan's field of vision at once.

It was only then that he discovered that there was a large plain below the cliff, and there were only a few small hills occasionally. From where he stood, he could already see all the small hills at a glance.

Most importantly, there are people on the plains!

This was a long team, almost walking close to the bottom of the low cliff where He Lingchuan was, less than fifteen feet away from him.From his angle, the end of the line could not be seen in his field of vision.

Not the army.

There are men and women in the team, most of whom are civilians based on their uniforms.The rich can ride in chariots and horses, but ordinary people can only brave the wind and rain, supporting each other and moving forward.

Most of the people carried their handbags on their shoulders, the backs of oxen and donkeys were also full of belongings, and the dogs ran wildly under the feet of the crowd. He Lingchuan also saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl tightly holding her mother's hand while embracing the baby in her arms. kitten.

Washed by the rain, her small face was pale, and her eyes were big and round, full of confusion and at a loss.

This is the fleeing team?
There are always cavalry rushing back and forth, just like the advancing ant colony, there are always soldier ants busy back and forth.

He Lingchuan was very familiar with the light armor of these cavalry, and he knew it was the Gale Army at a glance.

This time the Gale Army came out very early.

He Lingchuan considered for a dozen breaths, and decided to sneak into this team.Otherwise, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, where else could he go?
Follow the Gale Army, the team at least has a goal?

Most importantly, he had seen a cavalryman hand over his horse to his companions, run to the edge of the cliff by himself, and began to climb up on hands and feet.

With the sky so dark and the grass so long, He Lingchuan felt that it was unlikely to be discovered, so there was only one reason for the cavalry to climb the mountain in the rain:
He is a scout, and it is his duty to climb to the highest point to scout the team for a lookout.

This also shows that there are pursuers behind the team.

He Lingchuan didn't think about it any more, and quietly descended the mountain from the other side with a solid rock attached.

The torrential rain can block most movements, and everyone has to look down at the road in the dark night.Besides, many people in the team quietly went out behind the hill to solve the problem of the reincarnation of the five grains, and then came back, so he easily sneaked into the team and didn't encounter any trouble.

In the fleeing team, who knows whom?

Even the Gale Army cavalry who passed by from time to time turned a blind eye to him.

The last time he was spotted as soon as he entered the scene, because he was alone in a foreign land, and the locals could see through it at a glance; now he is hiding in the ocean of the people, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes like ordinary people, how can the cavalry have time to give him more eyes?
In this way, He Lingchuan walked quietly with the team for more than an hour, helped people move things in the middle, received a few words of thanks, and took this opportunity to beat around the bush.

The rain on the plain never ends, and when you open your mouth, cold rainwater will flow into your mouth.But for the sake of his help, the family still explained that they lived next to the winery in Weicheng Township.

The male owner's surname is Liu, and his daily job is to make wine in the workshop, and because he ranks third in the same generation in the clan, others simply call him Liu Sanjiu.He fled with his wife and two children, because the Baling army's offensive was so fierce this time that the city could not be defended, so everyone had to pack up their bags and flee for their lives overnight, and there was no time to clean up many things.

Fortunately, after only a few hours of walking, the Gale Army came to meet them, and everyone felt relieved.

So where is this going?
Liu Sanjiu said, if you can go east to Shatan Pass, you will be safe, that is the territory of Panlong City.

How far is it?

On this plain without any coordinate hints, no one knows.

After walking with the team for so long, He Lingchuan felt a little heavy, because he knew that this scene might also happen in history.

Although the Panlong Wasteland is called a wasteland, it is much richer than the later deserts and can support many cities.He remembered that Weicheng seemed to be hundreds of miles west of Panlong City, with sufficient soldiers and food, and it also persisted under the enemy's offensive for nearly 20 years.

What he saw today was probably the scene before Weicheng was breached, and it could be regarded as a witness to history.

The most pitiful thing is that it is not the first time that some civilians have left their homes.
