Wearing a mountain village tuff

"Grandpa Li?"

Li Dengke was holding a cane, and he couldn't walk steadily. "Brother Yuzu."

"This is you?"

During this time, Li Changan followed him up the mountain and found some food.Now that the old man can go to the ground, it seems that Changan has taken good care of the old man.

"Brother Youyou, I'll take you to the county," Li Dengke said.

"No need." Ye Baiyou looked at the old man, "I'm afraid you'll fall apart before your old bone arrives."

"You'd better go back first."

But Li Dengke insisted: "I have something to do when I go to the county, and I happen to be with you. Something?

"If you have something to do, just ask Chang'an to go with us, and it will not cost you."

But the old man was stubborn, Ye Baiyou didn't ask anything.Nodding his head, he led the people out.

Go straight along the main road in the village, bypass half of the mountain blocking the road, and then merge into the official road.The rest of the road is much easier.

Ye Baiyou turned around and saw the old man and the sick boy at home following closely behind, chatting with each other.

Nevermind, keep going.

The official road is easy to walk, but it is tiring to walk for an hour.

Stopping and stopping, I met some people who were still fleeing on the road.Unkempt, eyes full of numbness.

Ye Baiyou looked at it at this moment, and felt quite sympathetic to the sadness.

Daquan Village belongs to Nanshan County, which is a very large county, and the Hushan Mountain that people in Daquan Village refer to is only a part of it.The mountain range including Hushan is called Nanshan.

Starting from Yinshi, when we arrived at the county seat, the sun had already risen.

Ye Baiyou bumped the pannier that was still strangling even with a wider rope, and looked wearily at the empty county.

The houses on both sides of the street are gradually decaying, and the signboards on the doors have long been dusty.There are few people on the wide road.

"What are you doing in the county?"

In the middle of the wide dirt road, a slight wind blows, and the dust under the sun is rolled up and swirled, and there is a little shattered light.

Ye Baiyou chased after her, hurried past, and rushed to a place under the shade.

"I'm going north."

Shen Wujing supported Li Dengke, who still looked like that, with one hand.

"North?"

"how to get to?"

"Walk, how else can we go?" Ye Baiyou saw that he was blushing and out of breath, and knew that there was nothing wrong with this person now. "Why, you want to go too?"

"No." He shook his head, "You can't go either, the gate of Jing'an Mansion has been closed long ago."

"How do you know?" Ye Baiyou didn't believe it, put down the things on his back, and sat down on the edge of the basket.Hands fanning the wind on the cheeks.

The corner of Shen Wujing's mouth raised, and his eyes were cold: "I came from Fucheng."

"What about the south?"

"The south is a wild land, full of obstacles, and there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is also... a land of exile."

"I've gone, most likely to die." Isn't that the good place his good father arranged for him?

Ye Baiyou frowned, and rushed out without thinking. "Didn't you say it earlier?"

"How would I know?" Shen Wujing sneered.

"No more, east and west."

Shen Wujing squeezed her hand habitually.But he didn't have his jade bone fan in his hand.He pinched his fingers instead: "As far as I know, the drought is still severe in the east, while the west..."

"West side, old man, tell me, do you want to go?"

Li Dengke was sitting under the eaves of someone else's house with his crutches in his arms. "I can't go."

"have what?"

"To the west is the main peak of Nanshan Mountain, you can't climb it." A smile flashed in Shen Wujing's eyes. "If you want to climb up and try, you may find a lot of edible things."

"The premise is that you can climb up!"

The slender fingers tapped on the palm of his hand, Shen Wujing shook his head and sighed: "So, just give up."

"You!" Ye Baiyou stood up with a whoosh.

Shen Wujing smiled between her brows, somehow she was extremely happy: "What's wrong with me?"

"Brother Youyou, I was the one who didn't think about it. It's half a year ago that I knew about it." Li Dengke lamented.

"So, I'm going back the same way!"

"Whether you come back or not, when you come back is up to you." Shen Wujing was wearing the clothes of the boss of the Ye family.Coarse cloth bunt, the belt is tightened, and the height and legs are long, which looks a bit like a knight.But there is no chivalrous character to help others.

Ye Baiyou's eyes were torn away from this old man. "No, I don't believe it."

"Then why don't you try?" Shen Wujing said indifferently, following his words.

Stupid guy, don't look back until you hit the south wall.

"Then I'll take a step first." Ye Baiyou had enough rest and didn't want to waste any more time.Grab the backpack and go.

Li Dengke was still holding his cane, squinting his eyes and watching the back of his brother and the man going away.

"It's okay to try, it's okay to try..."

-

To go north, you must first pass through Nanshan County.

The sun was high, and Ye Baiyou pushed the bamboo hat directly on her forehead with her hands back.Get a little more comfortable!

"Any more? Give me one?"

Ye Baiyou was slightly annoyed when he heard his rational and vigorous voice.

He was very upset.He said he was going to see it, but he also wanted to walk and let himself think clearly.This old man is in good health, and he is still by his side.

Picture what?

Is it...

Ye Baiyou looked at Shen Wujing with vigilance. "You, don't follow me!"

Shen Wujing shook her head, her words were heavy: "No, for survival."

"Hehe, now you have revealed your true intention!" Ye Baiyou was very angry, his eyes stared like an angry bobcat.

"You just want to see that I can find food, rely on me!"

"How shameless!"

Shen Wujing didn't change his face: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, this road belongs to your house?"

"No."

"Then why did I get so shameless when I walked this way?" Shen Wujing folded her arms, "It's better not to be sentimental as a human being."

"Hehe." Ye Baiyou laughed angrily.

"Look there?"

"There are no flying chickens here." He muttered, still looking at his noble head in the direction pointed by his fingers.

"what?"

"The government is about to start opening warehouses to release grain."

It turned out that the two of them had already walked to the gate of the county government office.

"When?"

No matter how good Ye Baiyou's eyesight is, he can't compare to this guy.

"today."

"What time is it?"

"No, what time?"

Forget it, see for yourself!Ye Baiyou nearly ran away.

Outside the county office, there are still two layers of common people squatting in the corner.All of them had bright eyes and looked forward to it.

"Immediately." Seeing his anxious look, Shen Wujing slowly shook her head, "I can't hold my breath."

When the gong sounded, Ye Baiyou felt clear from his ears to the soles of his feet.The common people, who had been so languid just now, became alive in an instant.

Attacking from left to right, Ye Baiyou was directly squeezed out.

"Another batch of disaster relief food from the imperial court has arrived, queue up!"

The fat-headed yamen servants carried gongs and knives on their waists.With only one yell, the line was already lined up in an instant.

Ye Baiyou stood in the middle, and Shen Wujing was behind him.

"So there's the previous batch?"

Shen Wujing: "It stands to reason."

"So the government has been distributing food?" Ye Baiyou squeezed her fingers excitedly.

"Not necessarily. You can see how much water is in the food just by looking at the fat yamen servant." After layers of corruption, it is in the hands of the common people.

Shen Wujing even guessed that maybe after sending out the dozens of people in front of him, there should be nothing redundant.

"Yes." Ye Baiyou's excitement was suppressed at once.

"You can wait a little longer, there will be a way out." Shen Wujing kindly reminded her because her brother saved her life.

"What way to survive?"

"There are a large number of refugees gathering near the capital. It should be..."

"If the imperial court represses, one is to appease and the other is to deter. But now the drought in the south and the flood in the north are pinching each other. With a strong force, both sides will counterattack, which will definitely pose a certain threat to Kyoto."

"So those who are afraid of death will definitely come out with a clean one to appease them."

Looking down to see the blankness in brother's eyes, he made it clear with disgust.

"That's food delivery."

"But is there still so much food?"

"Although the one from Da Zhou is a little dizzy, he can still turn his head a bit."

"Aren't you going to get your head cut off for talking in public like this?" It was the first time Ye Baiyou saw him so strategically planned.But in ancient times, it seemed that those above would be beheaded if they were caught.

"Did I say something?" Shen Wujing smiled, her clear face glowing.

Ye Baiyou blinked.This man's appearance is really good.In his previous life, he might have chased after him if he encountered one.

"It's your turn." The man reminded.

Ye Baiyou suddenly remembered that this man was wearing a prison uniform when he met him.He lowered his voice and hurriedly said, "You won't be arrested?"

"No, I'll just "die"." Dare to reveal his face, Shen Wujing certainly had his preparations.

"That's right! The old man can also come and get it!"

"I'm behind." Shen Wujing shook her head, how stupid that is.People have been behind for so long and haven't noticed.

Ye Baiyou didn't know how many people fled from the county government.But it seems that there are only about a hundred households who came to receive the grain.

The elders living in this county are too greedy.The corn given is divided according to one bucket per household, regardless of the number of people in the family.

But something is better than nothing.

One bucket is about the weight of a normal large watermelon.Ye Baiyou put it in the basket and it instantly became heavier.

With food, the people quickly dispersed.Those who tried to claim it a second time were pushed away directly.

"Are you still going?"

Ye Baiyou and his party arrived at a deserted place.

"Will there be more tomorrow?" Ye Baiyou asked back.He shook his back basket, which was very heavy.

"Are you dreaming?" He tilted his head, facing Ye Baiyou directly.

High nose bridge, curly long eyelashes and smooth jaw...

Ye Baiyou suddenly lowered his head.

No... I can't see it, this is a goblin.

"Then there is no tomorrow, when will it be?"

A bucket of rice is half a catty a day for an adult, and it can be eaten for half a month.Save a little more, maybe a month will do.

"Just wait and see when the old emperor will figure it out."

"Brother Youyou, are you coming back?" The old man hugged his corn.

The bag was given by Ye Baiyou, and he held it carefully, with tears in his eyes.

Ye Baiyou subconsciously looked at Shen Wujing, then gave him a vicious look and immediately retracted it.

Shen Wujing: Who did he provoke?

This guy has an unusual temper.It's no wonder that she hasn't married yet in her twenties.Whether or not she can get married in the future is also a problem.

Li Dengke looked at Shen Wujing, turned around and said to Ye Baiyou:

"If you say that you leave alone, I still don't agree."

"But if you have a companion, then go with you."

Li Dengke could see that there was this man by his side, so he didn't ask his grandson to be with him.

originally……

Originally, he came to the county to fight his last breath...

If he died here, his grandson would not be found, so he would not take out enough food for his own old bones.

But who would have thought that it would be the food delivery.

Think back to the last time, it was half a year ago.

"But if you can't leave, there are still a few old people in Daquan Village, who will also guard."

"If you want to come back, come back."

Most of the people in the world do not want to stay away from their hometowns.Even though Ye Baiyou hadn't stayed in Daquan Village for long, listening to the old man's words at this moment, he still felt an inexplicable sense of confusion and helplessness.

But if you don't go to the north and try again, you have to go deeper into the mountains.

How to do it……
