The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26 The Miserable Refugee

Sun Jie can travel across modern times and the late Ming Dynasty, these are not really problems.

They took Chen Hu and they walked around again, in the desolate countryside and ridges, desolate and uninhabited.

Not to mention people, not even animals.

The land is so barren that not even grass grows, and a few crows fly in the sky from time to time. In this open place, even in broad daylight, it is a bit intrusive.

Pushing the mule cart, we came to a flat place, where the tent was set up.

I collected some dead grass and branches around, and made a fire in front of the tent to cook.

A simple tripod was placed on the fire, and a small iron pot was hung under the tripod, and some bacon and instant noodles were cooked in it.

The salty smell was everywhere, and several people were also hungry. The sound of spitting and spitting continued to resound, and their eyes were all fixed on the iron pot.

The rice in the iron pot was gurgling, and several people held bowls and ate comfortably.

It was still early, after dinner, Sun Jie left Liang Wu here, and took Chen Hu and Zhao Dading to the north.

The land that Zhou Da gave to Sun Jie is only [-] mu in Fuping, but the surrounding area is desolate, even if all the nearby land is included, no one will say anything.

That is to say, on the surface it only looks like six hundred acres, but in fact it is much more than that.

This really corresponds to the sentence, everything you see is my land.

Sun Jie led Chen Hu and Zhao Dading to climb up a relatively high earthen wall.

Standing on the earthen wall and looking around, the surrounding area is extremely empty and desolate. As far as the eye can see, it is full of uneven, undulating, bare yellow land.

This is a completely unimaginable desolation, as if the entire land has been scorched by fire, there are no plants growing on the land, all are some low drought-resistant weeds.

Since the mid-Wanli period, under the influence of the Little Ice River, Shaanxi has been covered with thousands of miles of red land. It has been a long time, but this situation has not improved in any way, and it is even getting worse.

The Gobi desert gives people a feeling of silence and emptiness, while the yellow land in front of them gives people a sense of desolation and despair.

It is very different from the Gobi desert, as if hope has been plundered, and the road to tomorrow cannot be seen.

Looking to the north, a black dot appeared at the end of the field of vision. This black dot did not remain static, but was moving slowly and twistingly. If you did not observe carefully, you would not be able to see that the black dot was moving.

Sun Jie noticed the black spot keenly. He squinted his eyes and tried his best to see it clearly.

But the distance is still very far, and it can only be seen as a black spot, and the real appearance cannot be seen clearly.

"It shouldn't be something like wild wolves. Wild wolves can't be so slow." Sun Jie frowned and said to himself.

You can't jump down for a while, because there is still some distance from Sun Jie, if you jump off the earthen wall, you may not be able to see it.

I looked at the sun above my head, hanging in the west half of the sky.

The crimson sunset covered most of the sky.

The morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles.

This is another sunny day, and I don't know when this endless drought will stop.

"My lord, there are still several miles away from us. The road ahead is bad, with potholes and overgrown withered grass and weeds. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it before dark." Standing behind Sun Jie, Chen Hu said.

"How about this, second child, you stay here and watch, Huzi and I go back first, and if there is any trouble, come back and report it in time." Sun Jie looked at Chen Hu and Zhao Dading behind him.

"Understood!" Zhao Dading clasped his fists at Sun Jie, and responded loudly.

Sun Jie nodded his head, and put his eyes on the black dot in front again.

In fact, Sun Jie had already guessed roughly that the black spot was probably a person.

Either refugees who fled, or fugitives who ran over from the north, or some thieves who robbed their houses like the ones they encountered on the road before.

The first situation is fine, but if it is the latter two, it will be a little troublesome.

Half of the sun set on the western mountain, and the black spot in the distance was only slightly bigger.

Another strong wind blew up the loess on the ground, covering the sight.

The wind on the earthen wall was so strong that several people hurriedly slipped down the earthen wall.

Zhao Dading stayed here alone, while Sun Jie and Chen Hu went back.

After returning, Sun Jie asked Chen Hu to send some food, water, windbreaker and other supplies to Zhao Dading, as well as a few homemade bombs.

Homemade bombs are easy to set up, no different from setting off firecrackers, and they can be taught in a few words. Chen Hu and the others have already learned it.

Sun Jie usually used a lighter to ignite the fire, while Chen Hu and the others used fire pockets.

Sun Jie gave the three of them a lighter, but the three of them were not used to using it, so they just carried it with them, and they still used the lighters they made themselves.

The sun fell completely to the ground, and the night suddenly rushed over.

The moon in the sky has already disappeared.

The wind started to howl, and the tent was blown unsteadily, so we had to dig a hole in the ground, put the main body of the tent under the hole, and made a simple nest.

Diwozi has good windproof and thermal insulation performance, and is easy to make, which is just right at this time.

Sun Jie, Chen Hu and Liang Wuwei sat in front of the fire in the tent.

"Crackling!"

"Crack crackle crackle!"

The wind outside was strong again, and the clods and dead branches on the ground were rolled up and slapped on the roof of the tent, making various noises.

"Crop~Crop~"

There was a whistling wind again, like a ghost calling.The flames of the fire began to dance, and the tent inevitably leaked.

Fortunately, there is not much wind leaking in, which is acceptable.

Sun Jie dug out several windbreakers made of nylon fiber, goggles, and a high-lumen waterproof flashlight from the materials on the side.

"It's too windy outside now, Huzi, follow me out to pick up the second child."

He quickly put on a windbreaker, handed one to Chen Hu, and was about to go out with a flashlight.

"My lord, it's so windy outside, you'd better stay here, it's fine for me and the third child to go!"

Chen Hu looked at Sun Jie with a stubborn face, and his voice was a little louder.

"Yes, my lord, it's fine for me and my eldest brother to go, the wind is too strong!" Liang Wu also stood up and began to persuade.

"Okay, don't try to persuade me. Now the second child's condition is unknown. I left him there. I don't worry. I have to go there myself!" Sun Jie's voice was a little louder, holding a flashlight, his head turned He walked out of the tent without returning.

Sun Jie casually put on the windbreaker and threw it out.

It was only when we got out of the diwozi that we realized how strong the wind was.

If it weren't for the goggles, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes open.

The lens was soon covered with loess and had to be cleaned at any time.

The flashlight has also become a decoration, and the visibility is less than ten meters. The light emitted by the Tyndall effect becomes a beam of light, and the beam of light is full of dust.

The nostrils were filled with the smell of loess. Sun Jie hunched over, lowered his center of gravity, and walked forward with difficulty.

Chen Hu looked at the light in front of him, gritted his teeth, and walked in front of Sun Jie, protecting Sun Jie from the wind.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the whistle in the ear is getting louder and louder.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a flash of fire flashed in the loess in front of him, and soon after, a muffled sound came.

"It's the second child. That's a bomb that exploded. I'm afraid he's in danger!"

Sun Jie sped up his speed, but it was still difficult to walk, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

"Fucking bastard, God likes to make things difficult for others!"

Chen Hu, who was walking in front of Sun Jie, cursed a few words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the dust poured into his mouth.

The wind was a little weaker, and Sun Jie accelerated his speed.

A pit appeared under his feet, but he didn't notice it for a while, and fell to the ground.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Chen Hu grabbed Sun Jie's arm and dragged him back abruptly.

Just as he stood still, there was another muffled sound.

Sun Jie gritted his teeth and walked in the direction of the sound.

After a long time, a figure suddenly appeared in the beam of light of the flashlight.

Zhao Dading curled up and stood in the beam of light.

Sun Jie's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Second brother, are you okay!"

Zhao Dading bent over, took two quick steps, and hurried to Sun Jie.

"Where's the windbreaker on your body? Didn't I give you a windbreaker?"

Zhao Dading only had the unlined clothes from before, so where is the windbreaker?

Sun Jie hurriedly said: "What happened to the explosion just now? That black spot is a thief?"

Zhao Dading didn't speak, and slowly stood up curled up, holding something wrapped in a windbreaker in his arms.

Taking a closer look, it was clear that it was a half-grown child.

"What's going on? How did this happen?" Sun Jie was shocked, why would he have a child all of a sudden?

"My lord, that black dot is a group of refugees who fled from the north and are going to Xi'an Mansion to seek a living.

The child hadn't eaten for several days and was about to die, so the younger one wanted to take him back.

The little one knew that the adults would not give up on the little ones, and was afraid that the elder brother and the others would not find the way, so he released a few thunders to guide the way, but he didn't expect the adults to come in person! "

Zhao Dading screamed loudly, the wind was too loud, Sun Jie only heard a general idea, but fortunately he also figured out the cause and effect.

The beam of light from the flashlight shone on the child's face. The child was well protected by Zhao Dading. The whole body and head were tightly wrapped in a windbreaker. Only one face was exposed, and there was only a little bit of dust on it.

Eyes half-opened, he stared blankly at Sun Jie, giving off a feeling of anger.

"Take the child back first, go back first! The wind is too strong now, there is nothing we can do, we only have a small tent!" Sun Jie shouted loudly, turning around.

After a difficult journey, we finally returned to the tent.

Water was boiling in the iron pot on the fire, and Zhao Dading brought the child to the fire.

When he saw the flames, the child's eyes became brighter.

I hurriedly scooped up some hot water with a ladle, and gave the child some to drink after it was cooled.

Soaked some more bread, put a little sugar, and gave it to the children.

If you are hungry for a long time, you should not be greasy, let alone overly full.

The child ate, fell asleep, was hugged by Zhao Dading, and fell asleep peacefully.

After the child was stable, he was placed on the low bed.

"What's going on? Tell me now!"

Sitting by the fire, Sun Jie glanced at the child on the bed, and then at Zhao Dading who was sitting beside him.

Zhao Dading let out a long breath and said, "My lord, it's like this..."

It turned out that after Chen Hu gave those supplies to Zhao Dading, Zhao Dading didn't stand still and wait, but went to the black spot.

When he was not far from the black spot, Zhao Dading finally saw this group of people clearly.

This is a group of refugees with the old and the young, about 300 people. The young people are on both sides of the team, holding sticks and other things in their hands, and the old, weak, women and children are in the middle of the team.

They also carried broken iron pots, broken bowls, broken mats, broken quilts and other things.

Rogues will not leave old and weak women and children, nor will they carry such things as broken iron pots.As for the fugitives, they will not be like this.

"It's so windy outside now, what should these refugees do?" Sun Jie was a little worried.

Now that there is land, the next step is the people.Now that common people come to their door, Sun Jie will naturally not let it go.

"These people are not very well. They have been out of food for a long time, and only some grass roots and bark are left. Now there is a strong wind outside...

When the villain came back, they were staying on the leeward side of the earthen wall we went to before, and there was no tent or anything, so it might not be very good. " Zhao Dading shook his head.

"Well, the wind is so strong outside now, and we have nothing to do. Now we only have such a small tent. Although we have some supplies, but the quantity is too small, we may not be able to send them there. We can only wait for the wind to calm down or dawn Say it again!"

Sun Jie sighed, with a lot of helplessness on his face.

When I went out to find Zhao Dading just now, I took one step at a time and was almost blown away by the wind. It would only be more difficult if I carried supplies.

The direction is difficult to identify, the land is bumpy and rough, the wind is strong and the resistance is great, and there are many dangers.

Not to mention, there are not many supplies now, and sending them over is a drop in the bucket.

As for taking materials from modern times, they can't be sent.

This is not an official road, the road is extremely bumpy, not to mention the wind outside is still so strong.

The fire burned quietly, and the four of them stayed up all night until dawn.

The wind finally stopped, and another round of scorching sun was greeted.

The ground is filled with loess blown up by the wind, which will not disappear for a while.

After breakfast, Sun Jie walked out of the tent with Chen Hu, Zhao Dading and the child.

The child slept well last night. After eating high-sugar food, his physical strength recovered a little. This morning, he ate some bread soup and sugar water, and his complexion improved a lot.

When he finally got there, Sun Jie saw a group of black people curled up and crowded together.The young and strong are outside, and the old and weak, women and children are inside.

They were covered with dust, as if they had just emerged from the loess.

A few young people were crying while hugging a few curled up old people, but they had been hungry for a long time and didn't have much strength, so they could only hear low whimpers.

Others have remained in the crouched position forever.

They say they are young and strong, but they are actually some thin and bony young people.

How can there be human beings one by one?His clothes were torn, his face was withered, and his hair was like weeds.

They saw Sun Jie, Chen Hu, Zhao Dading standing beside Sun Jie, and the child in Zhao Dading's arms.

If it weren't for Zhao Dading and the child in his arms, these people would probably regard Sun Jie as an enemy.

"mother!"

The child in Zhao Dading's arms looked in one direction and yelled weakly.

Following the child's gaze, a ragged woman curled up there without any movement.

Zhao Dading walked to the woman with the child in his arms, put down the child and patted her on the shoulder.

The woman didn't look back, didn't stand up, and didn't answer, she just fell straight down like that, stirring up a piece of loess.
