Chapter 10 Finding the Taste of Money

Considering that it is not far from Fu County, this morning, everyone slept until Chenzheng before getting up one after another. They simply washed up and drank a few sips of water. The two families continued to walk along the main road. After walking for nearly an hour, they arrived at the intersection of the three intersections of the official road. .

Here is a flat and open land, still surrounded by mountains, but there are three winding loess roads connected to the southeast, southwest and northwest respectively. These roads are wider and much flatter than the mountain roads I have traveled before.

On the three roads in different directions, some refugees can already be seen. Most of these refugees came out of the nearby mountains, gathered here, and then went their separate ways to go to an uncertain future.

Qingyu came to the intersection of the three roads and stared at the irregular cracks on the ground.These cracks are caused by lack of water and cracking after exposure to the sun.This is also a warning sent by nature to human beings.

Seeing that her brows were tightening, and she was in a bad mood, Zhui Feng stepped forward and asked, "Is it a bad omen? There is danger ahead?"

Qingyu raised her head, looked towards the southeast, followed this road, and within four hours, she would reach Fuxian County. What she had just accounted for was the auspiciousness to go to Fuxian County.

"Up and down." She glanced at Zhuifeng, "Repeated hexagrams."

It was a very cool day yesterday, but today it seems that it will be doubled in the sun. There is no shade along the official road, and the sun makes people dizzy and dizzy.

From time to time on the road, you can see refugees sitting and resting, looking haggard. These people are all wearing tattered clothes, their faces are covered with vicissitudes of life, and the black mud on their faces makes flies want to bully them and circle them frequently.

What is even more shocking are the corpses that have lost their vitality on the roadside. Most of these corpses are old or young. Already desperate, he simply let the world rot along with him.

After days of exposure to the sun, the rotting corpses have already rotted and smelled. The pungent rotten smell makes everyone who passes by cover their noses and mouths. As for the ears, there are buzzing flies flying around, as if they are celebrating the rations that they have finally found. .

On the entire road, there were so many such deaths. At this moment, Qing Yu and the others truly understood that the external situation was already so severe.They hadn't had a deep feeling in the mountains before, but since then, they have witnessed the cruelty of hell every step of the way.

Zhuifeng is good at medicine, so he naturally knew that these rotting corpses contained diseases, so he asked everyone to walk with their mouths and noses covered with handkerchiefs.

Maybe it was too stinky, or maybe it was too horrible, but Zhao Qian's daughter-in-law, Tong Shi, vomited all the way.When he got outside the gate of Fu County, his face turned pale from vomiting, as if he was about to die.

Taking advantage of the rest of her breath, Wen Ya gave Zhu Feng a wink.

Zhufeng spread his hands: This is normal vomiting, and I don't have any medicine now, so what problem can a pulse of her solve?
Wen Ya's eyes widened: Can ordinary vomiting be like this?There are so many dead bodies along the way, who knows if they will be infected with corpse poison?
Zhufeng was helpless, and came to Zhao Qian with a smile, "brother Zhao, I know a little bit about medicine, why don't you let me show it to your daughter-in-law, the corpse poison along the way is heavy, I'm afraid that if you get sick, it won't be cured if it drags on for a long time gone."

Zhao Qian was stunned and startled, "I didn't expect that old brother Bai would be good at medicine. My younger brother really admires old brother Bai." Saying this, his heart became sour. Divination, and then look at my family of five, how slim the hope of survival is.

Zhao Qian signaled to Tong Shi, who smiled slightly on Tong Shi's pale face, thanked her, and stretched out her hand.

Zhufeng tapped his pulse with two fingers, and after a while, his complexion became a little weird.He looked at Zhao Qian, but pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time. Zhao Qian felt guilty and asked urgently, "What's wrong? Are you really sick?"

Zhu Feng shook his head, and waved to him again, "Come here." After Zhao Qian came over, he whispered: "Congratulations, I'm going to be a father again, in two months or so."

Zhao Qian's face froze and his expression was obscure. He looked back at Tong Shi, who was also looking at him worriedly.

He pondered for a long time before he said seriously: "This child, you can't have it. Our family of five may not be able to survive. Why let this unborn child come out and suffer."

He struggled for a long time, his face was painful, but he still looked at Zhuifeng firmly: "Brother, please prescribe a prescription to get rid of that child." He paused, as if to strengthen himself As if determined: "I don't want this child to suffer."

Zhufeng patted him on the shoulder, "Success, look at yourselves, it's only two months now, so it's easy to get."

Seeing Zhuifeng coming back, Qingyu looked at the opposite side, Zhao Qian said something to Tong, and then saw Tong crying and nodding, and finally the couple hugged the youngest four-year-old son and choked, and the two daughters also had tears in their eyes. red.

After Zhufeng sat down and told the story, Wen Ya and the others felt a little sad when they heard it, after all, it was a life, but now it was forced to be strangled in the belly due to reality; Too cruel.

The so-called choice is just the lesser of two evils.

After Tong's side finally calmed down, Zhao Qian came to Zhuifeng apologetically, "Let's go, let's go into the city."

Qing Yu shook her head: "You can't go in, this city, you can't get in." She got up, walked around in the open space in front of the city gate, and finally stopped at a side, "Gan Gong Hai, we will immediately here."

The four of Zhuifeng could understand, but Zhao Qian's family was confused, but they knew that this little girl knew the way of divination.He was embarrassed to ask a little girl, so he asked Zhuifeng: "Brother Bai, what do you mean by that?"

Zhuifeng followed Wenya and the others to Qingyu's place, and said, "This is the birth seat. There is a catastrophe at the gate of the city today. Standing on the birth seat, we can avoid the disaster."

"Catastrophe? What kind of disaster will there be?" Zhao Qian felt apprehensive.But as soon as he finished asking, he heard a loud noise. He followed the sound and saw a large crowd of people pouring out of the gate of the city.

These people, if they are in good condition, they are carriages, sedan chairs, and carts, and those in bad conditions are carrying baskets and poles. But no matter whether it is a car or a person, they all run with their children and mothers with their families.

Someone ran too slowly and fell down when being squeezed from behind. This fall tripped a group of people behind him.

In just a few short breaths, a serious stampede happened at the gate of the city, which was relatively calm at first. A large number of people kept pouring out of the city. The space at the gate of the city was limited, and many old people, children and even young adults fell down. On the ground, being trampled mercilessly by the people behind.

What's even worse is that once these people fall, it is difficult to get up again, because there are always a steady stream of people moving forward. For a while, the screams, howls, and shouts at the gate of the city shook the world, The tragedy is terrible.

Zhao Qian's family was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, Zhao Qian was sweating all over his body, and a kind of fear lingered in his heart. If they entered the city just now, his three children might all die under these ruthless feet.

Qing Yu looked at those screaming people, took a deep breath, closed her eyes: repeated hexagrams.Repeatedly, take the meaning of trampling.At the gate of this city today, at least thousands of people will be killed or injured.

Qingyu looked at her family of five. They were dressed in rags and penniless. They also needed to survive and struggled to survive in this troubled world. Right now, they had such an opportunity. She said:

"Repeated hexagrams will often lead to Li hexagrams. Many people here will be separated from their relatives."

She pointed to a luxuriously dressed woman not far away. The woman was coming out of a porter's burden. She looked very reluctant, but the porter ignored her and urged the woman to come down. Then she carried the porter back into the city. Run, he has to hurry back to pick the second guest.

These ladies from all over the world have bound feet and it is difficult to walk at all, so they can only ask porters to pick them out of the city, but in order to catch up, the porters will never really send people to the designated location, anyway, they have collected money in advance, as long as Getting out of town is enough.

These women don't go out of the door, don't go out, and don't have much knowledge. When encountering the situation where the porter leaves the porter, they naturally look helpless and helpless.

There are quite a lot of people like this, and Qingyu has already seen several women who were bumped around like headless chickens but didn't know what to do.

She came to a woman in blue, sweet and lovely, and said in a childlike voice, "Sister, you won't be able to wait for your family here, give me twenty copper coins, and I'll show you a direction. Just wait there, your family will come out and join you soon."

The woman in blue saw that she was a little doll, all dirty, and immediately waved impatiently, "Go away, little beggar, don't touch me."

 This is a story from scratch~ Do you look forward to it? Do you look forward to it? If you look forward to it, just collect it~
