Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The team continued to move forward for half an hour and stopped at a slightly wider place not far from the water source.

Cheng Wan jumped off the carriage, stretched out his body, and felt a little thankful in his heart: "Although it is hot today, it is not a drought, otherwise it will be troublesome for everyone to drink water."

Last night, under the reminder of Village Chief Jia, everyone had prepared their meals for the day in advance.

Most of the meals prepared by people are dry biscuits.

The weather is hot and dry biscuits are durable.

A piece or half of a dry biscuit, and some cool water will make an excellent meal.

The Cheng family also prepared dry biscuits.

The difference is that Cheng's dry biscuits are saltier and more flavorful than those of most other people in the team.

Ever since Cheng Wan first went to the county town, the salt the Cheng family has eaten has always been fine salt.

Later, Cheng Wan and Cheng Erniu went to the county town to do business, and from time to time they would buy something for their home.

As for salt, an indispensable thing in daily life, Cheng Wan never left the salt jar at home empty.

The last time I went to the county town to sell bamboo tube cakes after my busy work, Cheng Wangang bought three kilograms of fine salt.

During this escape, the supplies Chunwen pulled away with a carriage contained ten kilograms of fine salt.

Therefore, the Cheng family really has no shortage of salt now.

In this way, Wang and others are more willing to put more salt than others when making dry biscuits.

But just put a little more.

After all, we still don’t know when the days of fleeing will end.

Everyone was sitting or lying down, taking advantage of this moment to take a rest.

In the Cheng family's carriage, Li Sanzhu was leaning on the "mountain" of burdens and drinking medicine, while Aunt Cheng was beside him and talking quietly.

When we are in a hurry, the conditions do not allow it, and we don’t know when we can stop and rest during the day.

Therefore, Li Sanzhu's medicine was prepared by Aunt Cheng in the dark in advance when everyone was awake.

Cheng Wan opened the curtain and poked her head into the car. She was surprised and worried when she saw that Li Sanzhu was not lying down, but half-relying on himself to drink medicine.

"Little uncle, you..."

Li Sanzhu put down the medicine bowl in his hand and smiled gently at Cheng Wan, "It's okay. I feel better now than at home. I don't have a headache or dizziness. I think I can get off the carriage and walk on my own after two days of rest." ”

Cheng Wan frowned, suspecting that Li Sanzhu was lying to her.

After bleeding so much, Dr. Cao clearly said that he would have to rest in bed for at least half a month before he could try to get out of bed and walk normally.

Li Sanzhu saw the clear distrust in Cheng Wan's eyes.

She looked funny on her face, but felt extremely warm in her heart. She sighed to herself: "This niece has nothing to say to either my wife or me."

Aunt Cheng smiled softly, "Awan, don't worry, your uncle knows the importance and won't make fun of his body."

Cheng Wan nodded in agreement on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart: "My uncle won't even think about getting off the carriage and walking unless he stays in the carriage for ten days. It would be great if I could be lucky enough to meet a doctor and show him to my uncle."

Today, noon and noon are the two hottest hours.

But because everyone didn't know if there would be pursuers chasing after them, they didn't dare to stop for too long even if they stopped.

Only time was left for everyone to eat, drink water, and take a rest. Village Chief Jia gave the order, and everyone endured the scorching sun and physical fatigue and continued on their way.

Before leaving King An's territory, everyone did not dare to approach the villages and cities, fearing that they would be captured elsewhere after finally escaping the conscription at home.

If that happens, the big guy will be sick to death.

In this way, the team fleeing from Jiajia Village rushed on their way at dawn every day, took a short break at noon, and stopped to rest at night when they could no longer see the road.

Everyone is very tired. The younger children have passed the crying stage, and now they almost all have the same expression of tiredness.

The eyelids were drooping and the eyes were dull, as if they were soulless bodies.

But fortunately, there were no pursuers from behind, and the journey was uneventful. This is the greatest luck for this group of people.

This situation lasted until the seventh day after leaving home.

After a few days of peace and quiet, everyone's vigilance has dropped a lot.

Some people even have wandering thoughts and want to return to the village.

These people were thinking that the conscription had been going on for a few days. Those conscripts couldn't stay in their village all the time. They might have left with the conscripted soldiers long ago.

Then there is no need for them to continue fleeing.

How good it is to go home, with a house, land, food and drink.

When these people want to go home more and more, they want to find an opportunity to talk to the village chief.

A person suddenly appears and breaks the beautiful vision in their hearts.

Starting from the day before yesterday, Cheng Wan had left the job of driving the carriage to Cheng Daping and the others.

In the past two days, she has been trying to recall the videos of horseback riding she saw in modern times, and is teaching herself how to ride a horse.

Cheng Wan was walking slowly on her horse when she heard someone calling her.

Cheng Wan lightly reined in the horse, stopped the horse, and turned to look back.

A tall, strong "man" who was covered in dirt and almost unrecognizable as a human was walking towards this side, following a man in the team.

Cheng Wan was confused. He didn't understand what was happening.

Until both sides get closer.

Cheng Wan's eyes widened in shock, "Deng Xiong?!"

The Cheng family members nearby all turned their heads, suspecting that they had heard wrongly.

Deng Xiong stood next to the horse Cheng Wan was riding, wiping his tears with his dirty sleeves. He held it back again and again, but couldn't hold it back any longer and cried loudly.

"Cheng Wan, Cheng Wan, I'm out of milk. Many people came over. They killed people and robbed me of food..."

! ! ! ! ! !

Deng Xiong cried so loudly that many people heard him.

The originally peaceful atmosphere in the team disappeared in an instant.

There was no way to continue on the road.

Cheng Wan got off the horse neatly and asked Cheng Erping to go ahead and inform the village chief.

Let the team stop for a while.

Cheng Wan saw that Deng Xiong was crying out of breath, so he asked for a cloth towel from Mrs. Lin and handed it to Deng Xiong.

"Wipe your face."

Deng Xiong took the cloth and rubbed it twice on his face haphazardly.

Still crying.

Cheng Wan was worried about what happened in her hometown.

But seeing Deng Xiong like this, it was hard to interrupt him.

The people around him were also more anxious than the others, but seeing that Cheng Wan was waiting patiently, they could only grit their teeth and hold back the questions on their lips.

Fortunately, Deng Xiong only cried for a short while, and after a while he calmed down and started talking about his family affairs in a choked voice.

From Deng Xiong's intermittent narration, everyone finally understood what happened in their hometown after they left.

That’s it in a nutshell.

The emperor's army is more powerful than King An's army. In the past few days, it has been attacking the city and plundering the land at the speed of pushing down a sand wall.

On the fourth day after their group fled, the emperor's army reached Qingyuan County.

Qingyuan County and the villages under Qingyuan County have suffered a great disaster.

The emperor's generals allowed their soldiers to burn, kill and loot in order to boost the morale of the soldiers.

In order to buy her grandson time to escape, Deng Xiong's grandmother lay on the ground and hugged a soldier's ankle. The soldier slashed her in the back with a knife, and she died on the spot.

That was the grandmother who raised him single-handedly and lived with him for more than ten years.

Deng Xiong's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, and he couldn't care about anything. He picked up the stool and rushed towards the soldier like crazy.

Maybe the soldier was unprepared, or maybe Deng Xiong was really strong. In short, the final result was that the soldier bled a lot from the back of his head and lay motionless on the ground.

Then Deng Xiong woke up from his dream, packed some things, picked up his grandmother's body and ran out of the house.

Deng Xiong fled to a deserted place, dug a hole and buried his grandmother.

He knelt in front of his grandma's grave and cried for a long time. He didn't know what he would do on his own in the future.

Then he suddenly remembered Cheng Wan, and Cheng Wan had told him that she was going north.

So Deng Xiong drove north day and night, giving full play to his limited IQ and carefully observing the traces on the road.

Finally today, I successfully caught up with Cheng Wan.
