sinking into sand

Hanhao Village is located in a deep mountain, next to a canyon.I don't know how Sean chose the place at that time.

Yu Sha and his party met the sentry post of Hanhao Village one mile before the village.Those people recognized Xun Er and Zhou Qu, seeing that they hurried back to the village to spread the word.When they finally reached the gate of Hanhao Village, Si En and Chu Ruo had already waited with their people, but they did not see Lujiang.

Another reunion of old friends.It was only a year before and after, but the changes in the world were quite strange.The orphan of the dead in the future, the master of the Ranger Village today.

Si En's appearance didn't seem to have changed much, but his expression still changed.She looked at Yu Sha and his group with an expression that was not really welcoming.

In Yu Sha's group, apart from the residents of Daocheng who had taken out to take refuge, there were also many spies from other nearby villages who all came forward to pay a visit to Si En.Facing the faces of the people, Si En didn't say anything, he just ordered to go down first and clean up these people.

Ye Wanwan also knew Si En, but she just said hello in front of people, and went down with Chu Ruo to settle everyone.Did not say much.

Yu Sha originally wanted to ask Ye Wanwan and Si En to communicate about Daocheng first, but it didn't seem like a very good time at the moment.Furthermore, the area of ​​Hanhao Village is smaller than they expected, how to settle these people is really a problem.

Yu Sha had to postpone the discussion with Si En on how to connect the various camps, and first followed Si En to understand the situation in Hanhao Village.

The real estate in the middle section of the Yongjia Ancient Road is not as rich as the Lijiang River. Several places where people gather are due to the few water sources and lakes located in the mountains.There is a river next to the location of Hanhao Village, the locals call it the Gujiang River, and there is a valley further down the Qujiang River.

This terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yu Sha followed Si En around the village, and along the way, he saw many people dressed as peasants, all of whom were tenants of Hanhao Village.There are also some people dressed as warriors, all looking at them on guard.The houses are well built upside down, and they have indeed been operating here for some time.

No matter how you look at it, this place is an ordinary village. Perhaps the only difference from other places is that there are obviously many children here.

There are boys and girls, and when they see people outside, they hide behind the adults, even if they are brave, they just run towards Si En.Hugging Sien's leg, he timidly glanced up at Yu Sha secretly.

Si En called someone over and asked him to take away the little carrot hugging her leg.

"Come with me." Si En said, beckoning Yu Sha to walk to a wooden house.The house is slightly larger than other places, and the interior decoration is very simple.Yu Sha turned around the hall, went to the side room on the left, and saw books piled all over the wall at a glance.The side room is obviously a place where people often come, there are many couches on the floor, there are benches around it, and some papers are scattered nearby.In the middle near the bookcase is a long table.There are a lot of books and the Four Treasures of the Study on it, and it looks like Si En's daily writing and reading place.

Si En pulled a chair and said, "You sit first."

Yu Sha looked at her books all over the wall, and said, "You have fled all the way here, so why are there so many?"

The color of the paper in those books is obviously new, but they have been flipped through many times, and they are a little worn.With this feeling and this place, Yu Sha suddenly felt much better because he could see such a wall of books here.

"Some of them were bought from Daocheng after I settled down, and I brought them back to write on." Si En said, "There are also some brought by scholars from Pingshan County."

Yu Sha heard that Pingshan County sounded familiar, so he thought about it carefully, and remembered that when Zhou Qu was saving Xun Er in the prison, among the series of names Hu Peng had, there was a sentence "Save dozens of families in Pingshan County. A little white silver dragon."

"Is what happened in Pingshan County true?" Yu Sha asked Si En: "You saved dozens of people in Pingshan County?"

Si En sat down in his seat, listened to his question, and told him about the Pingshan County.

It can be regarded as a legendary story. The county government in Pingshan County, like other places, also had the act of arresting poor peasants as rebels, causing most people in the county to flee.The difference is that after he was arrested, the county government was actually patronized by the refugee army once.Almost all the people in the county government were dead. After sweeping the county, the refugee army burned several bridges going out.Let the rest of the common people fend for themselves.

Si En and the others happened to come across this incident when they were passing by in the north. At that time, the autumn harvest was just over, and all the food was taken away by the refugee army. If they were left alone, people in Pingshan County might not be able to survive the winter, so they stayed to help.Xun Er was good at water, after Sien surveyed the terrain near Pingshan County, he chose a place where the water was not in a hurry, and built a pontoon bridge with the people in the county, and then rescued the person.Some people in Pingshan County didn't dare to stay there anymore, so they went north with Si En and the others.

I don't know if it's ironic or not, those refugee soldiers would even strip off their nice clothes, but they turned a blind eye to all the books and county annals.Scholars with a few brain axes must take them with them in their luggage when they leave.Sien thought it was unnecessary at first, but the further he went north, he found that there were fewer books, so he couldn't help but feel lucky again.

The two of them briefly talked about the past year's situation in Si En's room.Si En was not very surprised when Yu Sha mentioned Lang Ge and Lan Bailing.She knew Lan Bailing in the first place, but she didn't expect that Yu Sha was related to Lange in his life experience.

After talking for a while, someone outside came to pass the news, saying that dinner will be served in a while.I don't know how to entertain these many people today.

"Tongtong will serve clear porridge first." Si En said, "The people in the village will talk to them briefly, and they will go back to the house to eat by themselves, avoiding some people."

Yu Sha was puzzled and asked, "Is there not enough food in Hanhao Village?"

Si En shook his head: "These mermaids are mixed with fish and dragons, so it is inevitable that they have bad intentions. If the Hanhao village is exposed casually, it is inevitable that troubles will come to them."

When Yu Sha heard this, he just told Si En about his plan, which was about uniting the villages.

After hearing this, Si En frowned and did not agree, but he did not refuse either.After a long while, he gave a wry smile, and said, "You are really, last year and this year too, you never give me any problems."

Yu Sha knew that she still had time to think, so she was not in a hurry.After all, he first said that he was going to the stockade to have a look, and then asked where Lujiang was.

"She is taking care of the children." Sien said, "The children under the age of one set up a separate yard, and the mothers with mothers lived there together." She gave Yu Sha a look, "Go and see?"

Of course I have to take a look.

Yu Sha happily followed Si En and turned left three times to a courtyard, which was quite deep.Now that the sun is setting, the courtyard is full of life.A few women were walking in the yard with their children, and from time to time they could hear the babies crying or laughing.

The yard is not big, and the house looks simple but solid, tidy and tidy, without any weeds.

Seeing that there is still such a place in the troubled times at this time, Yu Sha couldn't express his emotions. He only felt that it was not unreasonable for people like Zhou Qu to be willing to follow Si En's orders.To be able to open up such a place and protect such a place, the hardships involved are really beyond human understanding.

"The merit is immeasurable." Yu Sha said to Si En.

Si En laughed, "People who come out of Peony Academy think about raising children when they see children. Come in with me, and Lujiang is inside."

She took Yu Sha into the house, and there were many children sleeping in the house, presumably it was time to sleep.Qiuhu was quite hot, and Lujiang was guarding a small bed, gently fanning the sleeping child.

She may have been fanning for a long time, and she herself was a little dozed off. She supported her head with one hand and half-closed her eyes, but she was able to maintain the frequency of fanning with the other hand and held it very steadily.It cannot be said that it is not a kind of unique knowledge.

Yu Sha felt like laughing when he saw it. It's been a long time since I saw Lujiang. Among all the people, Lujiang looked the least changed. In this troubled world, he has his own way of survival.Perhaps it was also because of this that at that time there were so many people in Huxin Xiaozhu that he chose her to memorize the articles in ink books.

Yu Sha stepped forward and patted Lu Jiang's shoulder lightly.Lu Jiang was sleepy, and was awakened by his patting, and turned his head to glance at him sleepily.

At first glance, she thought it was in a dream, so she didn't react, turned her head and continued to fan the child.

But she soon realized that even if she was dreaming, it was impossible for her to dream of a Yu Shaomiao who was wearing short clothes and looking sloppy. She had no material for this kind of dreaming at all.

So she froze for a moment, her eyes widened, and she quickly turned her head to stare at Yu Sha.

Yu Sha smiled and greeted softly: "Long time no see, Ah Lu."
