The convoy headed south all the way, facing the scorching sun and the loess, and it has been five days since they left.

The elderly, children, and pregnant "men and women" and women, none of them stopped in this migration.Human resilience will only be highlighted when pushed to the extreme.

The scorching sun and lack of water and food along the way meant that it was a relocation, but it was more like a real conscience test.

He almost couldn't hold back several times, and moved out all the vegetables, fruits and food that had piled up in the space.In the end, he still didn't make a move.

He might be selfish.

He simply grabbed the hat off his head and fanned himself angrily.

The sun had already set in the west, and the sky was no longer dazzling. He looked up to the south, and saw not far away, a whole row of mountain peaks, like a wall, stretched from the other end of the sky to the end of the sky.

"Isn't that the Nine Dragons Mountain Range?"

Li Da went home to pick up the burden, and the one who followed Jian was now Li Guan, the head of Lijia Village.

Li Guan nodded again and again, "Yes, Master Jian, Jiulong Mountain is very big. Back then, grandparents moved from the mountain to the outside of the mountain, and now it's only a hundred years old, and they are going to move back again, hey——"

Unlike Li Guan's melancholy, he was simply happy in his heart.The mountain is located in the distance, with a faint tinge of blue, which shows that it is not a barren mountain.And after crossing the mountain, these refugees will be settled, and he can finally feel a little more at ease.

"Looks like it's coming soon." Jian fanned his hat harder.

Li Guan smiled, "Master Jian, Wangshan ran to death, I guess he will have to walk for another day."

Li Guan said he had to go for another day, but he really did.

In the evening of the second day, the loess under their feet had turned into gravel. Although they didn't seem to have started climbing the mountain, they had indeed stepped into the boundary of Jiulong Mountain.

This is the only time in the past few days that Liu Ming has ordered a rest day before it was dark.

The people take the village as the unit, and each village is surrounded together, and the people in the county are surrounded by another circle.Zhou Yong led the team to carefully inspect the villages.

On a stone platform halfway up the stone mountain, a small Zijin incense burner emits the fragrance of rice.

Qiu Yong took out a clear jar from the carriage, which still contained half a jar of honey.He carefully opened the lid, scooped a spoonful of silk-studded honey and put it into the porridge, then immediately tightened the jar and put it back in his arms. The spoon for scooping honey was rinsed in the small incense burner for a long time.

Touching the jar of honey in his arms, Qiu Yong sighed.If you don't put honey in those rice noodles, His Highness will throw up as soon as you drink it, and you can only eat some if you add this honey.Originally in Beijing, who hadn't tasted dim sum made with high-quality honey?Didn't you eat what you vomited?How could Master Jian eat what he gave?

It's not... Qiu Yong thought about it carefully.The things Mr. Jian took out were edible at first, but after a long time, they became inedible.Could it be... is it because you have been away from Master Jian for too long, and without the nourishment of Master Jian's mana, there is no effect?

Thinking about the temperament that is different from ordinary people, Qiu Yong nodded, feeling that his reasoning was correct.He patted the jar in his arms, and explained to himself: This honey must be quite special, for example, Master Jian blessed it with great mana, just like the water in the copper-gold buffalo.

He didn't say that His Royal Highness was originally ordered to bring two thousand imperial troops, thirty doctors from the medical office, and a lot of medicinal materials to relocate the people in the five counties of Dingzhou.The people in the other four counties were still close to Jiulong Mountain, and as a result, they got sick constantly along the way, and countless people died of illness.

The medicinal materials that accompanied him were exhausted, so His Highness had no choice but to order the imperial army to escort the people of the four counties across the mountain first.At this moment, these people should have passed the mountain, right?Just don't die too much.

Qiu Yong looked up at the people surrounding the city at the foot of the mountain, feeling very relieved.Men, women, children, and no one was sick. Master Jian must be responsible for this matter, but it is also due to Liu Ming, Your Highness!

Qiu Yong stood beside the censer cheerfully, and saw Master Jian hugging and coaxing a crying child in the crowd. The child seemed to be being coaxed by Master Jian gradually, laughing through tears.Qiu Yong just watched with a smile, and saw Master Jian leaned over and stuffed the one or two-year-old child into His Highness's arms.

Qiu Yong hurriedly stood up, and after running a few steps down the hill, he suddenly stopped.After standing still for a while, he shook his head and turned back, watching the porridge in a censer.

I just like to join in the fun, there is no way, who is in a good mood when they have a headache?So for a good mood, he had to persevere.

During the rest in the evening, it is probably the busiest time for this migration team.Cooking, getting water, cleaning up the place for the night... The adults are very busy, and the children are playing.I am very happy to help out at this time.

No, he saw a male flat with a big belly, and he had to comfort a crying child who was only one or two years old in his arms. The child kept struggling with his arms and legs, and hit the flat guy in the stomach several times. It was shocking to see, so he hurried forward and hugged the child.

As soon as the child got it, he knew it was another heatstroke patient.

Since the relocation team will not stay during the day, receiving water has become a big problem.If the water received at night is not finished, I have to carry the water during the day, which is tiring.If you go to pick up water during the day, who will pull the cart and push the cart, and who will carry the luggage?

Therefore, most of the common people receive water at night, drink more at night, and leave a little bamboo tube or two during the day, and take turns to take a few sips at noon when they are most thirsty.

How can this not cause heat stroke?

Heatstroke does happen, but it's not serious. It's fine if I drink the water from the buffalo at night and rest for another night.

It's just that at this moment... I just looked back at the long line of water collectors, knowing that the head of the family would not be able to come back from receiving water, so he directly took out a spirit stone from the storage bag and put it in the child's pocket. I stuck it in my hand for a while.

The one or two-year-old child felt comfortable, and stopped crying after a while, and laughed through tears.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Wu Yuanya's curiosity and smiling eyes, and he pushed the child into his arms.

Although Wu Yuanya has been able to eat normally these few days, his stomach has long been starved, and every meal is to drink a small bowl of rice porridge.

Every evening, Wu Yuanya would be dragged around among the common people, in the name of exercising.There are also advantages, and now the people of Lin'an County are full of praise for Wu Yuanya, the king.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day. Wu Yuanya's physical strength has indeed increased in the past few days, but he still can't hug a baby.As soon as the child fell into his arms, Wu Yuanya's feet wobbled, but he stepped on another piece of gravel, and he fell to the side.

Shocked, he stepped forward and hugged the person and the child in his arms.

He was holding Wu Yuanya's back with his right hand, feeling the vibration there, and he blamed himself: "I won't joke with you next time, aren't you startled?"

He simply shrugged his nose, took the opportunity to sniff Wu Yuanya's pleasant scent, and then let go of his hand after steadying him.

Wu Yuanya lowered his eyes slightly, with a flash of sadness in his eyes.He looked at the grinning child in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up, "He is carefree."

He quickly took the child out of Wu Yuanya's arms, sent him back to his little father, turned around and helped Wu Yuanya back.

The Jiulong Mountain range looks green from a distance, but that green is the color reflected from the depths of the mountain. To the north of this mountain is a bare stone mountain, not to mention sharp stones, and most of them are gravel.According to Li Guan, the village head, the mountain was originally made like this to prevent people.

"I heard you say Wulongkou, where is it?" Jian asked.

Wu Yuanya raised his arm and pointed to the depths of the mountain, "Passing two more mountains, there used to be a checkpoint there, also known as Wulong Pass. Later, General Dawu drove out the aliens and established Dingzhou Pass, and this checkpoint was abandoned."

"Oh," Jian nodded and looked deep into the mountains.

The sun has not yet fully set, but the depths of the mountain are already shrouded in night fog, and between the mountain and the mountain, it is pitch black.From time to time, there were strange calls coming from the deep mountains, and when I went to listen carefully, the sound disappeared again.

"Um……"

Hearing a muffled groan, he hastily turned his head, and seeing Wu Yuanya raised one foot, he knew that he might have stepped on a sharp stone.

He immediately squatted down and took off Wu Yuanya's soft-soled black satin shoes.

"Sir, don't!" Wu Yuanya shouted anxiously, but he didn't move so fast.

He just squeezed the shoes, shook his head and said, "These shoes are too soft, they are not as good as the straw sandals on my feet."

Wu Yuanya was pinched by one of his feet, he could not stand stably, but he bent down to stop Jian Jian, regardless of his own danger, "My foot doesn't hurt anymore, it should be fine, Mr. Jian, this is too impolite gone."

He simply got up in a hurry and helped Wu Yuanya who was about to fall again, "You are not a woman, why are you so awkward?"

Wu Yuanya blushed slightly, looked at the stone on the ground, "What's the difference between men and women?"

Just stunned, he thumped his head, "Yes, haha, I mean, little crow, your awkward personality doesn't look like that of a leader, but rather that of a protractor."

Although he hasn't seen a Yan Zhe until now, but according to Li Da's nagging, he also knows that it should be a weak, delicate and timid kind of "little girl".

He literally helped him to sit on a rock, watching Wu Yuanya clumsily put on his shoes.

But no leader wants to be said to be a continuator.Wu Yuanya lowered his head, his eyes were calm and calm. Mr. Jian is his only hope. Only when this disease is cured can he...

Seeing that people had put on their shoes, they simply helped them back to the mountainside.It's not that he wants to hang his hands, but this little crow, as if his hands are electrified, once he touches it, it's a big principle of "it's about others" and "rituals are given and accepted", so he can only hang his hands .

There are not many gravels on the road from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it is very easy to walk, but from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, the road is difficult. Originally, we simply thought that everyone would rest together at the bottom of the mountain, but Liu Ming and Qiu Yong thought otherwise. A little more common sense than him.

The Nine Dragons Mountains are sparsely populated, and poisonous snakes and beasts are indispensable.However, General Holland's soldiers have not yet arrived, only relying on dozens of government servants to guard thousands of households and tens of thousands of people, one word-difficult.

So as soon as they approached the mountain, Liu Ming and Qiu Yong got together to discuss a few words, and the yamen servants' overnight accommodation was changed to the tops of the three nearby stone mountains.

Qiu Yong led Pei Chengqing and Pei Chengdi to guard a mountain alone.

He almost helped Wu Yuanya to the platform halfway up the mountain. Qiu Yong had already filled two bowls of porridge and put them on a flat stone.

"Your Highness, I'll deliver food to Cheng Qing Chengdi first." Qiu Yong was carrying a tray with brown rice pancakes and pickles.

Wu Yuanya sat on the soft cushioned stone, although his waist was straight, but his temples were slightly sweaty, and his chest heaved and fluctuated. It seemed that this walk was quite exhausting.

He simply called out to Qiu Yong, "Take two more bowls of porridge, don't just eat the hard ones, and be careful not to fall asleep in the middle of the night."

Qiu Yong glanced at Wu Yuanya, "The porridge should be reserved for His Highness, His Highness should use more."

Wu Yuanya turned his face slightly, "It's nothing. Cheng Qingchengdi has been exhausted for the past few days, not to mention, Mr. Jian has already spoken, so let's bring two bowls."

"……Hey."

Qiu Yong poured two and a half bowls of porridge, and carried the tray to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Pei Chengdi saw someone delivering food, so he couldn't wait to go up to take the tray.Seeing the two bowls of fragrant rice porridge, he smiled happily, "Your Highness gave porridge today? It's really great."

Qiu Yong glared at him, "This is Lord Jian begging for mercy, don't run on Master Jian in the future, and be careful to get boarded when you go back."

Pei Chengdi shrugged his shoulders, "I know, I know, brother, come and eat."

Pei Chengdi held the porridge bowl and took a sip as if enjoying it. From his mouth to his stomach, it was full of honey and ironed. His heart was indeed something that even His Highness could eat.Seeing that Pei Chengqing hadn't come yet, he roared again at the top of his voice.

Holding a piece of animal bone in his hand, Pei Chengqing walked back thinking.

Pei Chengdi, who was drinking porridge, took a meal and put down the porridge bowl.Qiu Yong also walked up to Pei Chengqing.

"It should be the leg bone of blue sheep, have you found others?" Qiu Yong asked.

Pei Chengqing shook his head, "There are other bones with traces of roasting."

Pei Chengdi took a bowl of porridge, "Maybe it was the imperial army who did it a while ago. Don't forget that when we were waiting for people at Wulongkou, those people couldn't bear it, and they always sneaked out to hunt."

"Maybe." Pei Chengqing threw away the bone, picked up a stone and sat down to eat, but he was always worried.Especially the inexplicable failure of Dingzhouguan and Lin'an County to receive the notification choked him.

If Liu Ming, the county magistrate of Lin'an County, made his own decisions, ruined his future and refused to listen to orders, it would still make sense.However, General Guan He in Dingzhou is a disciple of General Ruan, His Majesty's grandfather, how could he oppose His Highness?

Pei Chengqing glanced at Qiu Yong, and Qiu Yong nodded at him, "Be more vigilant at night, wait for General He to lead the troops, and then take a good rest."

……

There are no stars tonight, and a full moon hangs high, covering the earth with a layer of silver sand.

Couldn't sleep, got up and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Wu Yuanya, who regards the sky as his seat and the ground as his seat, is not used to this environment either, so he opened his eyes and chased after him.

"Mr. Jian." Wu Yuanya gasped and shouted.

She just waited for him for a while, "Why don't you go to bed so late?"

"Why doesn't Mr. Jane sleep?"

"Me?" Of course I couldn't sleep because of a headache.He just smiled, but the words that came out of his mouth were, "I'll go to the top of the mountain to see if I can pick the moon off, and if I pick it off, I'll give it to you."

Wu Yuanya chuckled, "If it's possible to pick it off, then I should pick it off and give it to Mr. Jian."

He just laughed out loud, and hugged Wu Yuanya, "You have a lot of talk."
