Another World Baixin

The sky outside will make people see the road, Xue Yi and his uncle Yang Ji are leading the way, Bai Xin and Xue Yi are walking side by side, and a dozen or so people behind them silently follow their steps.

To the east of Yangjiazhai is Shoushan Mountain. They walked along the ridge path to the north of the village, where two peaks intersected to leave a ravine for the villagers in the village to pass through.

Approaching the ravine, Bai Xin discovered that the earth and rocks on the left and right sides of the place were high uplifted, and a sill could be set up here to prevent outsiders from entering and establish a defensive point that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Behind them, Bai Baoxi and Bai Baoqian were afraid of such a claustrophobic environment, and at the same time grabbed Jiang's sleeve and did not let go.

This ravine is not long, and after passing through a small hill, Yang Ji turned around and told the outsiders: "Try to keep quiet for the rest of the journey, and we won't let you do anything. Follow my instructions!"

Everyone felt strange, but they all agreed.Bai Xin secretly raised his vigilance, because Xue Yi quietly asked him to take out a tael of silver as a spare, but he didn't say what it was used for.

Next they stepped into a bamboo forest.A dirt road, wide enough for a chariot, emerged from the right, turned a curve in front of them, and faded away in the early morning mist.

Yang Ji walked forward first, pointing to the right and said: "That direction can lead to the nearest town, of course it is not your Huanyang Town. But if you want to get to Guzhou as soon as possible, you should go this direction faster."

There is also a road on the left side of the corner. After carefully listening to the movement nearby, Bai Xin knew that there was no one else but them, so he asked curiously, "Where could I have gotten if I had gone to the left just now?"

"Hmph!" Yang Ji told Bai Xin in a weird tone after hearing the words: "As long as you are not a local, you'd better not go in that direction, otherwise there will be no good end!"

The growth of this bamboo forest seems to be full of nutrition, the branches and leaves on the ground are extremely dense, and it is shrouded in thick fog to create a cold and bleak atmosphere.As soon as Yang Ji finished speaking, Bai Baoqian, who was the least courageous, trembled twice, his face turned pale.When Yang Ji noticed this, he was dumbfounded. It was embarrassing for people to know that he bullied the child, so he lowered his voice viciously and shouted at everyone: "Quiet! Don't make a sound!"

Seeing that the bamboo forest was about to pass, Yang Ji suddenly blew a long whistle.After the whistle, the crowd waited for a while, and a young man with a bamboo hat on his head and a gray cloth scarf on his face jumped out, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.Earlier this person was hiding on a camphor tree among the bamboos.

Yang Ji showed two rows of neat teeth at this person, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and praised him: "Ah Lian! You have reached the age to come out to work~!"

The kid named Ah Lian shyly took off the cloth towel covering his face, showing a slightly immature face, "I could come out a long time ago, but my elder brother didn't allow it. Uncle Ji, what are you..."

Yang Ji pointed to more than a dozen people behind him and said indifferently: "They are relatives of Ayi's hometown. They escaped from the mountain city and came to our village. You know what's going on in the village. I'll let them go to Guzhou. It’s still safe there now. Isn’t it because I’m afraid they’ll go the wrong way, so Ayi and I will take them for a while.”

Ah Lian came over and looked at Bai Xin and the others, seeing that they were carrying cloth bags and wearing old clothes, looking poor, some of them still had panic on their faces, and they really looked like they were fleeing.Ah Lian murmured, and Yang Ji, Xue Yi and his nephew quietly asked him to check it out. Fang said: "They are also pitiful. Several villages were burned, killed and robbed by those pirates. In order to avoid the pirates, they even climbed from Shoushan Mountain! I When I saw them in the village, they didn't even bring any decent clothes, and now these things are still what Ayi begs for from the people in the clan."

Hearing about Shoushan Mountain, Ah Lian was very surprised. Those who have the courage to climb Shoushan Mountain can only be desperadoes. It seems that these people are really miserable. "Since they are A Yi's relatives, for the sake of A Yi and Uncle Ji, I won't make things difficult for you. Hurry up, Guzhou is not close."

"Okay! Come here when you have time, uncle treats you to fish."

Xue Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, if you want to invite, I invited you, I caught all the fish."

Yang Ji just smiled and said nothing, and after beckoning to Ah Lian, he took everyone out of the bamboo forest.There is a small stream across the front, a bamboo bridge is built on it, and there is a deep ditch below. The stream is clear and the bottom is visible, and the current is not strong.After crossing the bridge, there are rolling terraced fields where farmers are already working.Leaving the terraced fields behind, Xue Yi looked back inadvertently, and then leaned into Yang Ji's ear and said, "Uncle, there is no one else."

Bai Xin was surprised when he saw Yang Ji stop and said: "We will send it here. The following road, Ayi, has been drawn on paper for you, so there is no need to take you away. If you go faster, It is estimated that you will be able to reach Guzhou tonight, and if you drive overnight, you will be able to reach the nearest Yucheng tomorrow morning."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who had been nervous for a long time breathed a sigh of relief.Bai Xin and Xue Yi's uncle and nephew thanked each other, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "That person from before?"

Seeing that he was too curious, Xue Yi secretly told him alone: ​​"It's just what you think, a few hundred people in a village can kung fu, it's not something you all can handle! It's just that they are also surnamed Yang. They belonged to the same family as our village before, they never made things difficult for the people in the village."

Sure enough, Bai Xin guessed right. The Ah Lian that appeared in the bamboo forest was the outpost of the nearby bandits. Without Xue Yi and Yang Ji, it would be difficult to pass. Bai Xin wanted to protect his family and single out hundreds of bandits... …the idea is intoxicating.

In order to thank Xue Yi, Yang Ji and his nephew, Bai Xin gave them five taels of silver.Xue Yi refused to take it, but Yang Ji looked at the silver coins that Bai Xin took out, and said calmly: "Five taels is too much, just give me and A Yi two hundred coins."

At this time, Lin Da stepped forward and pulled Xue Yi aside without knowing what to say, and Bai Xin finally gave Yang Ji the one or two he was going to bribe Ah Lian on the grounds that there was no change of money.Yang Ji reached out to take it, and beckoned Xue Yi to turn around and walk back.

Then, relying on the simple map provided by Xue Yi, Bai Xin led everyone groping through Gutang Town, occasionally stopping to rest. Sure enough, when the sun went down, they saw the boundary marker of Guzhou at the foot of a mountain.Because the people in the wilderness hadn't seen the road to Guzhou and it was difficult to drive, they had to rest on the spot, lit three fires and slept around them all night, and got up after the bonfire burned overnight and went out automatically.

Both sides of the official road from Suizhou to Guzhou were full of refugees, and Bai Xin's family and Qin Lizhong Bai Qishun's family also joined the refugee team.In contrast, their situation is not bad, at least they have salutes and jerky to eat.When they appeared, several burly men looked over either explicitly or secretly.Bai Xin frowned to block the sight of Chang Liushui and Qin Shi, and stared back viciously.

At noon, others stopped to rest their feet to catch their breath, and Bai Xin and the others could still eat some jerky, which immediately attracted many envious and jealous eyes.Fortunately, this is the initial stage of fleeing, and wild vegetables and fruits can be picked everywhere in the wild, and it is rare for people to starve to death. Those refugees who wanted to grab Bai Xin's food backed away when they saw that there were several healthy men among them. , No one is willing to fight with others until there is an emergency.

However, Bai Xin chewed half of a piece of jerky, and suddenly a six or seven-year-old dirty child who couldn't tell if he was a good son or a woman stood timidly in front of him and stared at the jerky.Bai Xin raised his eyebrows, and the child turned his big eyes to look at him in surprise, and immediately burst into tears.Bai Xin noticed that the outer rings of the child's eyeballs were green with a little black in the middle. It turned out to be Liangzi.

Qin couldn't see how pitiful such a small child was, so she broke off the jerky in her hand and handed the big half to him, "Take it and eat it."

Bai Xin had no objection to this, but noticed that a few people were staring at the child eagerly not far away, so he made a suggestion to Qin: "You watch him first, let him finish eating before going back, otherwise the jerky will be a mess." I don't know who is cheaper."

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin grabbed the child and asked him to eat the food here, and the child subconsciously looked back at those people.The Qin family still doesn't understand that this child was specially pushed out by the adults to beg for food, and those adults have a good complexion, so the child was so hungry that he was too skinny.Afterwards, unable to withstand Qin's kind words and the temptation of meat, the child ate the jerky.Seeing how he was devouring, Ah Shui quickly gave him water to drink so as not to choke.

Bai Xin called Bai Qishun to Qin Lizhong, and asked them: "We are approaching Yucheng soon, and we will arrive in front of the Guancheng gate. Tomorrow, my family is going to hire two carriages to go to the state capital. Do you think you want to go with us?" , or stay in Yucheng?"

Qin Lizhong said strangely: "Yucheng is quite safe, why waste money to go to Fucheng?"

Bai Qishun was also puzzled.Bai Xin told him and Lin Da's conjecture: "Yucheng is too close to Suizhou, and Yucheng is also on the coast. I'm afraid that pirates will come here all the way. No one knows what will happen in the future. And you probably don't know , Ah Shui's hometown is in Xijiang City, the state capital."

The case of the elder's family had been overturned long ago, but the Qin family had already returned to Dongxi Village with Chang Liushui, and the innocent victims of the elder's family were buried by the students of the academy.If there is no accident in Suizhou, the Qin family will not have the idea of ​​returning to Xijiang City.Now that she has the opportunity, and Bai Xin has not objected, the Qin family is more and more eager to go back. She wants to take Ah Shui and Bai Xin back to pay homage to the ancestors of the elder family.

Both Qin Lizhong and Bai Qishun had the idea of ​​returning to their hometown after the government repelled the pirates. They heard that Bai Xin meant that they would settle here in the future, so they couldn't help but hesitate.The two discussed the matter with their families.

To be honest, Bai Xin has a good impression of these two families, and he is quite happy to go to Xijiang City with them. It is also a good thing to have two companies as companions when they are not familiar with the place.The Qin family didn't have a big problem, and they quickly made a decision and agreed to go with Bai Xin; the Bai family had been thinking about it for a long time, and they hadn't reached a conclusion when they were on the road.There are several relatives in the Bai family whose lives and deaths are unknown, and they must not be let go easily.

There are often horses and horses passing by on the official road. Whether it is the official messenger rushing to deliver urgent letters, or the powerful businessman who fled, it can be seen that the situation in Suizhou is not good.Only officials, big and small, and their family members were allowed to pass through the official road. Refugees marched along both sides of the official road, and when they passed the post station, they automatically left without waiting for the yamen servants to come out to drive them away.When Bai Xin saw a carriage appearing, he planned to stop it to see if he could pay for them to ride in the carriage. Fortunately, he didn't stop him. He couldn't afford to offend anyone who could ride a carriage on this road (without Lin Xun's backing) ).

After another hour and a half of walking through the post station, they finally arrived at Yucheng.However, seeing that the sun was about to set, there was still a long line outside the city preparing to enter the city.This city is much larger than Huan Yang Town, and the city wall is as high as four stories, and Bai Xin cannot climb over it with bare hands.

"We can't go in tonight, are we going to sleep outside?" Qin Feng approached Bai Xin to inquire about the situation.

Someone in front heard it, looked back at them a few times, and snorted disdainfully: "I can't even get in, sir, let alone those behind you!"

Bai Xin ignored this person, he noticed that there were two queues outside the city gate, one of them was the long queue on the left, and the other was almost deserted.He secretly said a few words to Lin Da, then straightened his clothes, and was about to walk over with his head held high, but was stopped by Lin Da.

Lin Da's injury healed faster than he imagined, but it was nothing unusual, and he didn't find anything else wrong.This time he put on a show, and others couldn't see how badly he was injured.
