Zhuoying

The two stayed on the boat until it was dark before they dared to disembark to buy some food and thick mattresses.As we go further north, the weather is even colder, and the objects in Xuhangbei can't stand the cold.

Zhong You's lips and tongue were bitter, and the hemp rope tied around his wrists had never been untied for the past two days, so his wrists were flushed red.One side of his body was numb, so he had to turn over with great effort, leaning against the board to pant, and listen carefully.Lai Zi walks loudly, and he can hear clearly when he steps on the board.Although Liu Sanlai is light, he likes to drag the soles of his shoes, and can hear the rubbing sound.Now after a while of silence, he should have left the boat.

Zhong You touched the bowl on the side with his lips, took a mouthful of cold water, panted slightly, and violently rolled over to his knees.However, after not eating for a long time, he lifted himself up and became dizzy for a while.He leaned against the side wall and moved toward the rough stones behind the ladder.The stone was there just in case, and if he died on board, the two men would tie him up and sink him into the river.There were so many people on the road, they dared not let Zhong You Rotten stop for a long time.

The hemp rope that had been rubbed all night was against the corner of the stone, and the blunt stone rubbed against each other, and the hemp rope was worn out little by little.But it took too long, Lai Zi's voice was resonant, and when he followed Liu San to board the boat, he said "Ouch", the hull shook slightly, and he put the rice bag on his shoulders again, and said: "You heartless fellow, don't you?" Add one more!"

"Jiangtang people are used to thieves, can we take advantage of it?" Liu Sanlai walked to the side of the splint, untied the bolt, and looked down.

Zhong You was still lying on the bottom, his temples were wet, he was panting hot, and his face was sick.Liu San came to see that the person was still panting, so he was relieved and closed the board again.

The two also bought bacon today, and it was about to be the Spring Festival, so they made do with it tonight.It was Liu Sanlai's intention not to touch the wine, for fear of making mistakes.The two of them ate bacon by the small stove, and if they wanted to stay overnight in the Jiangtang, they each sat down and slept in the cabin.

When the wind blows at night, Lai Zi sleeps by the curtain.It was cold on the back, so the person wrapped the quilt tightly and squeezed inside.Unexpectedly, the cold wind kept blowing, Lai Zi squinted his eyes and scratched his back, this grasp was accurate, and he was holding a cold hand.Lai Zi woke up shivering suddenly, before turning over and sitting up, someone covered his head with a sour cloth bag and beat him indiscriminately.

"What are you doing! Who, who!"

Liu Sanlai got up, hugged his head and shrunk his horns when he saw the situation, and said in surprise, "Everyone, all heroes! This is here, what are you doing here!"

The curtain was parted, and people in ragged clothes were crowded around the boat, most of them were people who fled from Xuhang to Jiangtang, and now they will continue to flee north.Many of them dragged their families along, shrinking their hands and feet in the cold wind.There are many people who are hungry, and they all come from the smell of meat.

"Food! Rice, rice bag for you." Liu Sanlai stretched out his hand to drag the rice bag, pushed it over, and begged, "Our two brothers are passing by, and they also came here from Xu Hang. We are brothers and sisters, and this rice is for your grandfathers and ancestors... Get the rice, let's get off the boat, huh?"

No one answered him, and the remaining bacon was covered in a bowl.Someone lifted the cover, and the crowd became agitated.Most of the grain allocated under the Jiangtang goes to commercial ports, and those below, not to mention meat, even rice noodles are extravagant expectations.There are so many people here, Liu Sanlai only has a small boat, and he can't feed them even if he sells himself.Lai Zi was knocked so dizzy that Liu Sanlai had no choice but to get out of the bunk and raised his hand to signal for others to take it casually.He leaned against the side and exited the cabin.

This is an obvious robbery, but right now the Jiangtang government soldiers themselves are afraid of getting ahead, who can maintain the situation.Liu Sanlai was so anxious that Zhong You was still locked up. Everything on the boat can be given, but the boat must be kept.

Lai Zi was beaten so badly that several people worked together to lift him up.Liu Sanlai hurriedly stopped him: "Hero! We'll give all of these things, and let's just forget about them? Take what you eat, this boat... this boat will save my brothers' lives..."

Someone spat: "The Qingping army has retreated fucking, and now they are all staring at the boat and running for their lives!"

Liu Sanlai was shocked: "How long have you been fighting, are you going to retire?"

There were many people who squeezed into the boat to snatch food, mixed with curses and fists.Taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Sanlai stripped off the cloth bag covering Laizi's hood, dragged him and jumped into the water.Life is more important than money!

Laizi splashed in the water, still thinking about Zhong You, wanted to climb back, dragged Liu San to come and said anxiously, "Third Brother! That man is still on the boat! Letting him go out like this, wouldn't our trip be wasted!" "

"Go! Go!" Liu Sanlai struggled, "So many people are waiting to eat people! It's useless to tell people! Did you hear? The Qingping army has retreated!" He slapped the water and sent Tong Muhuo: "It's my fault for being careless! We should continue on our way tonight! We've already passed Shanyin, so we can get some money!"

He got this business by begging his grandpa to sue his grandma at first, so he focused on earning enough money from this trip, and went to the north early to build a house and wait until the war was over before returning.But who would have expected such an encounter on the road?Even if he regretted his guts, he couldn't help it.

When the man climbed ashore tremblingly, he grabbed Laizi again, and asked with a shiver: "You, you didn't tell Zhong Baiou the truth, did you? If he runs out and looks for someone, then we won't be able to escape!"

Lai Zi hugged his shoulders and shivered.The cotton-padded jacket carried water, and it stuck to my body like ice in the cold wind.He tremblingly said, "No, I didn't dare to mention it, because I was afraid of being guessed." He suddenly straightened his eyes, and said to Liu San, "Third brother, this person is gone, but, but not He must be able to live. With such a mess, it will be difficult for him to find someone! Or we, let's hurry back and hand it over to someone, and say it's Zhong Baiou..."

Liu San paused, his gaze straightened, and he murmured: "This can't be fooled..."

"So many people died on the road, no one would know if they slapped their faces casually!" Lai Zi swallowed his saliva, "People have to listen to an answer, and they don't necessarily come to inspect the corpses. Let's take the money and leave, even if we find out later Well, then... that's not our business!"

Liu Sanlai looked at the dark water, thought of the heavy silver, and finally replied: "...that's it... just take the money and leave."

The boy who was stuffing the bacon in his mouth was pushed and fell on the board, almost vomited it out, he just covered his mouth, swallowed it, and was choked to death.The rice bag had been torn to pieces long ago, and everyone was grabbing the rice with their hands.The young man beat his chest violently, kicked the person on his back twice, and heard someone scold him as "a wild beast that snatches food".He didn't care, the taste of meat was still in his mouth.

There was a sudden "bang bang" under the board, which startled him.Fighting frantically, there was chaotic sound of beating and cursing, no one could hear the banging except him who was sticking to the board.

At first he thought it was the sound of people stomping boards, but just as he was thinking about it, there was another pounding vibration coming from underneath.He lifted the carpet on the floor and saw a latch.The boy was a little scared, maybe it was something raised by people.He didn't dare to touch the lock, and quickly covered it with a blanket, crawled between the legs and feet of the people, curled up in the corner, hugged himself and waited for the people to grab the things, trying to squeeze into the boat and flee north.

Zhong You broke the rope, but couldn't push the splint away.The footsteps above were noisy and messy, and he decided that something had happened.But no matter how he smashed the board, no one picked the lock.The darkness was damp, and Zhong You became colder and colder.He yelled, but no one heard him.

The boat left the shore at night, and Yan Zhaling arrived at Jiangtang. It was a coincidence that he missed this one in Jiangtang.

Shi Yu's dagger burned the tip of the blade, cut into the waist, and picked out small pieces of gravel.He bit a pen, sweat trickling down his temples.Picking out the ballast, I shook half a can of wound medicine powder on it, and wrapped the gauze tightly by myself, and it was considered to be dealt with.

Zhong Xie has already retreated to Qingping, and the government's strict investigation has been approved. Shi Yu must fulfill his promise, and lead people behind to delay the pursuit of the barbarians, and give the Shanyin Army and Qingping Army enough time to deploy.

He was still in Xuhang, and he was almost hit by a barbarian single-bore shell during today's confrontation, causing more injuries than before.

Shi Yu was self-aware, and including the people left behind by Zhong Xie, he had a total of more than five thousand people.The barbarian soldiers are expected to be more than [-], and they are advancing with heavy weapons. They are determined to capture the place, not to rob across the border.It is impossible for Shi Yu to face the enemy head-on, he only needs to harass and interfere with the attacking rhythm of the barbarians.

As soon as the gauze was wrapped, someone lifted the cotton curtain and came in. It was Su Shuo who came from Shanyin.He came in and rubbed his hands, and said, "It's getting colder here too, there's no stove, you have to be careful, don't catch the wind and cold."

Right now, even if you are suffering from the cold, you have to stand up.

Shi Yu put on his shirt, "Master gave me Jingzhen's crossbow?"

Su Shuo breathed out, and patted him on the shoulder, "We only have these things in total. If we rush this trip to wipe out the barbarian soldiers, we can return them to Jingzhen immediately when we turn back. Of course, Master is worried about you. These nearly a thousand crossbows , It’s enough to block the way. I’ll just tell you, Xiao Liu, we must not confront the barbarian soldiers head-on, there is a huge disparity in strength, and if we go head-on, we will lose our advantage and have no chance of winning.”

"En." Shi Yu buttoned the button and asked, "Has Jiang Tang started the investigation yet?"

"Check it out. Master Zhong also took the water to search for passing ships when he retreated. As long as he is still in the long river, he will definitely find it." Seeing that he neither showed his face nor frowned, Su Shuo knew that he was still not relieved.So he comforted him and said: "Sir, auspicious people have their own fortune. After a few days, we will be able to find it ourselves, which is better than others. But in terms of speed and scope, we still have to rely on the various prefectures. Don't ignore the battle in front of you."

Shi Yu didn't speak, his heavy eyes didn't fluctuate because of this.He tucked the dagger into the outside of his calf, and carried the thorns on his body, and stepped aside the curtain.The firelight hit his cheek in the night, and he said, "Brother."

Su Shuo was about to call him, but when he heard the words, he stopped the knife in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yu turned his head to look back, and he said, "Waiting for this trip to go home, I still want to guard my husband."

"That's a success." Su Shuo smiled: "Such a good student, Mr. I don't think I will dislike him."

Shi Yu's eyes were dark.He wants to say no, I want to guard my husband, from now to the end, never leave or let go for a moment, to be together for the rest of my life, to please him and long for him.

I just miss him.

The sound of the barbarian's heavy weaponry was booming, Shi Yu didn't surprise his elder brother at this moment.When he turns back, he will lead people into the darkness.Su Shuo chased him out and gave him a knife.

"This is what Master gave you." Su Shuo caressed the last blade of the knife, and said, "Take Bai Zhan with you. I will lead someone to set up a trap and wait for you in Qingping. On the way, I will Pay attention, sir will definitely come back."

It is said that Meng Chen's "Hundred Wars" was named after Jinghou back then.Meng Chen took it to fight the Wanze attack and also the Beiyang defense. It did not disgrace the name, it was a real sword, and he cherished it all his life.Su Shuo is Mengchen's first apprentice in the gym. He has been looking up at this knife until now, and he once longed to pass it into his own hands.Today, he handed it to Shi Yu himself.

"The barbarians don't retreat, so why talk about family affairs. I'm happy that you can accept this job. Little Six." Su Shuo hugged Shi Yu with his arms, and patted him on the back, "You are not crooked, you Steady on this road. Let's go home tomorrow, and big brother will take you to drink good wine!"

"Okay." Shi Yuhui patted Su Shuo on the shoulder, took a step back, smiled, turned around and stepped into the darkness with the knife.

When the Yi soldiers carried heavy weapons to chase the Qingping army, the disadvantages were exposed. It was difficult to use heavy weapons, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.Shi Yu retreated very steadily all the way, while retreating he led the barbarian soldiers to the inside of Changhe, and even targeted the most ruthless places with his saber.He led people to kill many barbarian soldiers at night or in street battles. These 5000 people were scattered and hidden, and the barbarian soldiers couldn't catch them.

The barbarian troops who had been bombed by the barbarians before had their legs weak, but now Shi Yu also used gunpowder on this journey, and the barbarian soldiers were furious but had nowhere to vent their anger.This wandering tactic is disgusting and a headache, but it is really hard to catch.The heavy weapon is conspicuous, and it is too difficult to hide the shape. As long as the barbarian soldiers are negligent, Shi Yu can destroy a weapon.Although this force was not fatal, but following along all the way, although the soldiers and horses did not decrease, three of the bed crossbows were damaged.In addition, what frightened the barbarians the most was the strong crossbow.

This kind of crossbow that can be shot with arms and back when withdrawing, comes and goes quickly and is deadly.This is news that even the internal staff can't provide. Only Shi Yu knows about the actions of these 5000 people.

Over there, Zhong Xie retreated to Qingping, and King Pingding had already crossed the border from Shanyin to meet him.The two armies met, and Zhong Xie handed over his command.King Pingding considered it again and again, and finally set the battlefield for the confrontation with the barbarians at the Changhe Valley, the Qingping army camp.Because the long river valley is narrow and connected to the river, it is an extremely easy place to outflank and attack.Now we are waiting for Shi Yu to lead the barbarians into the urn, and work together to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Two more days.

Shi Yu has retreated to a place close to Qingping.

The young man was cold, holding his hands and feet together for some warmth.He kept huddling in the corner, not daring to run around, for fear of being carried off the boat.This boat is small, in order to compete for food these days, one person has been pushed down.He rubbed his arms back and forth, his stomach rumbling with hunger.

At night, while others were asleep, he pulled some things from under the bunk.He just wanted to find something to eat, but after rummaging around, he found only a densely written account book.He couldn't read the words, but he shook out a piece of paper from inside.Open it and look, it is not a word, but a neat picture of the house.

The characters are beautiful, the paintings are neat, and they look like precious objects.He secretly stuffed these two things into his bosom and hid them, waiting for the boat to arrive at Qingping, then went down to find someone to sell them, to see if he could exchange them for something to eat.

There was no knocking sound under the splint today, I wonder if he is dead... The young man shrinks back, he doesn't sound like a beast these days, he should be a person.He didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't dare to tell anyone.There are more people and more mouths, what if they are released... just throw him down?

The next day when the ship docked, it was the Spring Festival of the Yuan Dynasty.It was still snowing in Qingping, and it was terribly cold on board.The man who snatched the boat thought about selling the boat, and then thought about selling the young man along the way, all for money, so he could settle down in Qingping.But who knew that before he could make a move, the brat jumped off the boat and ran away.

They stopped at the edge of Qingping, the Changhe River is calm now, I heard that the Changhe Valley is frozen.As soon as the boy got off the boat, he knew it was not good, because the road was sluggish, obviously a group of people had been evacuated.Withdrawing people now, it can only be a fight!

As he stepped on the snow with bare feet, he became more and more anxious, not knowing where to flee.

Shi Yu grabbed the snow and stuffed it into the mouth, he split the fingertips of Qiangnu and slid the blood beads, dyeing the snow red in one go.The person in front crawled back from the snow and gestured to Shi Yubi to retreat.

The Yi soldiers followed.

Shi Yu turned the dismantled crossbow on his back, bowed and raised his hand to the people waiting behind to signal to retreat, he said concisely: "Back to the lane, the old rules."

This is to lure the barbarian soldiers in and kill them in the alley.Now that they have reached Qingping, as long as they retreat to the Changhe Valley in another five days, they will be able to retreat, and the rest should be handed over to the Shanyin Army and the Qingping Army.

At this moment, there were only about [-] people left, and there was no sound, and they quickly retreated from the snow with Mao Yao.Taking advantage of the coming night, they want to ambush in the alley.Before Shi Yu entered the alley, he heard someone calling him.

"Brother Yu!" A man from the Mengguan appeared from the alley and waved to him.When Shi Yu passed by, the brothers all squatted in the dark spots.The man said to him: "I picked up a kid! I'm going to freeze to death, can we send it to the back?"

Shi Yu didn't say a word, the man stepped aside, the man on the cat wall waved his hand, and pulled out a boy wrapped in a big sheep jacket.He stared at the man for a while, then nodded.The man smiled immediately, and was about to lead the boy back.The one on the cat wall poked its head again, put its hands together and whispered: "Wait! You forgot to take something." He said and dropped a notebook.

This page was rustled by the cold wind, and the paper inside was blown and smashed into the snow.Shi Yu leaned over to pick it up, suddenly picked up the boy's collar, and said coldly, "Where did you come from?"

The young man was terrified, trembling, "Xu, Xu Hang escape..."

Shi Yu interrupted him: "Where did the things come from?"

The young man was terrified and choked up, "I picked it up on the boat. It's still parked at the other end..."

Shi Yu withdrew his hand and turned around. Unexpectedly, before he stepped out of the alley, that damned single-tipped cannon slammed into the rock!The barbarian soldiers were cautious this time, instead of charging straight, they first relied on stones to explore the way.In the night, the sound of the trumpet sounded, and the stone strikes were thrown out intensively.On the nearby shore, those who hadn't fled screamed while covering their heads.

Shi Yu heard someone wail: "The boat capsized!"

Zhong Youben hit the splint with a broken bowl, and the boat vibrated violently.First, the ships going around were hit, and when they capsized, they collided.The people who were still on the boat began to flee to the shore with a yell. There were a lot of boats parked in this area. I didn't think it at first, but now that people are rushing to flee, I realized that there are still a lot of people left behind.The wooden bridge was narrow, and those who squeezed out cried and climbed to the bank in the water.But the overwhelming heavy stones broke the bridge with one blow, and people fell into the water like dumplings.Another blow followed, hitting Zhong You's boat.

The entire hull capsized dangerously, and Zhong You suddenly bumped into the ladder.He smashed the splint crazily, and the latch vibrated with a clang, but it didn't break.The heavy stone hit again with a bang, the hull cracked and cracked, the bottom shook violently, and the cracked side mouth began to gurgle, and water began to bubble out, but the crack was narrow, and he couldn't get out.

Zhong You dragged himself onto the slanted ladder, kicking hard on the splint.

God damn Laizi!How secure the bolt is!

The hull slammed again and sank even faster.The water came up in the blink of an eye, the cork loosened, and Zhong You kicked it with all his strength.

The water rushed over, and Zhong You's exhausted strength was not enough to kick it away.The bubbles were rushing, he scrambled on the ladder, and finally knocked out the gap.

Just a little.

There was a sudden weight on the top, and the splint was suddenly smashed by a punch.One hand passed through the jagged and split wooden edge, let the blood smudge away, grabbed Zhong You's shoulder, and grabbed Zhong You's shoulder with all his strength!

Shi Yu tightened his grip, panting fiercely.His fist was bloody and wounded, and he groped Zhong You's cheek with his palm.

"Zhong You!"
