Chapter 97
No one knew what Ye Anlan and Li Jing talked about in private. After finding Chang'an and Qingji, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, and led everyone to continue heading southeast.

About an hour and a half after they left, the second leader of the rebel army, who was almost scared to pee by the howling of wolves, finally looked forward to his own brother.

The two brothers accused each other after they met. One said that the other was troublesome and incompetent, which caused them to lose a lot of young and middle-aged recruits they had just recruited. The other complained that the other came too late, which made him almost eaten by wolves. up.

The two had a big quarrel with their soldiers behind their backs. After the quarrel, they had to hold back their anger and discuss together where they would go to recapture. Heck, some new recruits were recruited again, but they didn't know that some of the recruits who escaped in the chaos before had already sneaked in. They found Ye Anlan who had just left Shanghe County not long ago.

These deserters were all from the Shao family. They were led by the middle-aged man who recognized Ye Anlan from a long distance away, and they followed Ye Anlan and the others on a small road.

Ye Anlan was worrying that she had used up all the medicine powders and antidotes, but Zheng Fengshou suddenly ran over to her excitedly and said, "Big sister, big sister, someone wants to join us again!"

Ye Anlan waved her hand not very interested, "Didn't I tell you that we don't consider continuing to recruit people for the time being?"

"But you have recruited those people before." Zheng Fengshou frowned in thought, "That's the one, Shao, Shao"

"Shao Tianqing?"

"Yes!" Zheng Fengshou nodded vigorously, "Elder Sister, you have a good memory. That's right, it's him, he and his more than [-] clansmen have come here. Ah, yes, Eldest Sister, you must not have imagined that they It turned out to be that second-in-command before. Those who chased after the rebels on horseback and were whipped from time to time, and there were their Shao family."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, "Why do you think they can't think about it so much? Let our team have such a good life, but they insist on being played like a dog."

Ye Anlan:  ̄□ ̄||

Ye Anlan told him, "Don't talk nonsense in front of them, it's already hard enough for them."

Zheng Fengshou blinked his big innocent eyes, "Huh? Can't you say this in front of them?"

Ye Anlan: "You haven't already said that, have you?"

Zheng Fengshou nodded and said "Yes", giving Ye Anlan a wave of double affirmation, leaving her no luck.

Ye Anlan: _(:з」∠)_ It's over, her family's natural heart-pricking little expert has performed extraordinary again.

She let Zheng Fengshou play while she asked Yang Xiaotao to accompany her to meet the Shao family.

Zheng Fengshou wanted to follow to watch the fun, "Sister, don't you need me to lead the way?"

Ye Anlan glanced at him, "My mother is sharing buns for the children, don't you want to take a bite?"

"Go!" Throwing the word "go" firmly, Zheng Fengshou turned around and ran towards the mule cart carrying the children.

The corners of Ye Anlan's lips curled up slightly, and she took Yang Xiaotao to meet the Shao family.

The Shao family didn't dare to get too close to their team, they just stayed at the tail of the team, waiting with embarrassment and anticipation for Ye Anlan to appear.

Ye Anlan didn't have the subtle complacency of "I told you not to follow me, you will be at a loss now", she asked Yang Xiaotao to share the whole grain pancakes with everyone, "Isn't it hard to follow all the way? Let's eat something first." .”

The Shao family's eye circles turned red.

Ye Anlan handed over the earthen jar she was carrying, "There are not so many water bladders, you can just drink it."

Shao Tianqing endured the pain and gave Ye Anlan a deep salute, with a tear in his voice that could not be concealed, "Thank you, miss."

Ye Anlan waved her hand, "You were recruited by that Yang family brother, right?"

Shao Tianqing nodded slightly, took a sip of water and told Ye Anlan about their tragic experience.

"We just arrived in Pingyuan County, before we had time to settle down, Pingyuan County was overrun by refugees. Fortunately, we had a large number of people, and we barely escaped with the protection of the elderly and children at home. But we can't stay in Pingyuan County, even The aunt of our family who married into Pingyuan County, their family members have now become refugees like us."

"The whole family didn't eat or drink, so we men can only sharpen our heads and keep thinking about it. To tell you the truth, we begged grandpa to tell grandma to buy high-priced food along the way, and turned over dead people's clothes for money. I have dug traps and caught rabbits, shot birds with slingshots, and even dug up weeds and vegetables that have just sprouted a small sprout when I was hungry."

"It's all thanks to the aunt of our family who married into Pingyuan County. She asked the juniors in the family to mix all the money and food they brought out with us and eat them. Otherwise, we would be hungry and our eyes would turn green. Learned from other refugees and went to rob."

"I originally planned to take everyone to find you, but as soon as I arrived in Shanghe County, the rebel army in Shanghe County began to recruit people everywhere."

Ye Anlan glanced at the men from the Shao family who were clearly out of number, "There should be more than these few strong laborers in your family, right?"

Shao Tianqing smiled wryly, "It's true that there are more than these few, but there are not as many people as when I met you last time. The aunt in our family, her husband's family is a well-known landowner and gentry family in Pingyuan County. When those refugees entered the city, She ran straight to her house and killed them. In order to protect the old, weak, women and children at home, more than a dozen of our brothers threw their lives there."

This is also one of the things he regrets very much. After escaping from Pingyuan County, especially after seeing Ye Anlan's team again, and seeing that Ye Anlan can easily win even the elite rebel army, he will think about it if he has nothing to do. He was more resolute at the beginning, instead of compromising with the elders in the clan, could his relatives who had died from fighting, disease, and hunger be like Ye Anlan's subordinates, although they were tired and bitter, but But be able to eat, cure diseases, and defeat the enemy?

Sadness and remorse surged up uncontrollably, Shao Tianqing suppressed them again, and continued to talk in a hoarse voice.

"Not all the strong laborers in the family were confiscated because at that time we only sent about forty people to the county town to buy grain, salt, see a doctor and get medicine. My father and his age, and the baby who was too young, The rebels are not willing to take it. Others who are hiding in remote places outside the city, because my father and the others reported in time, so the strong laborers quietly led everyone to hide in the mountains early on, and they were lucky to escape."

It has been more than ten days since he was arrested, and he doesn't know how his family is doing now.

The last time he saw his father, it was his father who came to the city to deliver a letter to him, telling him that his father and several clan elders planned to take the rest of the Shao family to a place far away from the county town, lest one day the Yang family would die again. If they want to recruit men, they will be caught off guard and many will be recruited.
