The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 59 is coming soon
After setting out on the road again, the team became even more spectacular. At the head was Jing Li riding a tall horse, followed by two young men, Dalang and Wang Dalong. Uncle Tiesheng and Zhao Lili were behind, and Jing Dafu and Fan Ershao were on the left and right. In the middle, Shen Weiwei and his group were followed on both sides.

The mule carts were piled high, and there were a few carts pulled by horses. The refugees along the way drew sideways glances and stopped to move forward. However, once they saw the fierce looks of the men with swords in the team, they did not dare to go any further. Came forward.

The further we go, the more refugees there are, and their accents are all different. The same thing is that they all have a sallow complexion and skinny muscles, and look like they will collapse in the wind if they are not wearing enough clothes.

It was the beginning of August, and the weather was already beginning of autumn. It was still extremely hot in Qiuhu. Jingli kept wiping away her sweat and did not dare to use sunscreen. Anyway, if you put it on, it would be washed away by sweat.

This group of people was already hard to look at. They were all ragged and unkempt. Even the delicate Miss Wang, her hair was so greasy that it was almost clumping into lumps.

However, Huo Shen still looked like a noble man, and his dusty face could not conceal his demeanor. Miss Wang was already embarrassed to come to him.

Huo Shen's state has not been right these past two days. He is in a gloomy state. Jing Li always has the feeling that he is trying to restrain something. She also asked Haitang privately whether they could leave separately.

Haitang looked embarrassed: "Ah Li, I know we have caused you a lot of trouble, but my brother has been feeling unwell these past few days and seems to be showing signs of illness. If it's the two of us..."

Jingli was embarrassed to say anything anymore. She was short-handed in taking advantage of others. It was indeed unethical to accept Haitang's money and make her leave.

Shen's guard came back from the horseback: "A few dozen miles ahead, we will reach Shouyang Mountain. A day or so further from Shouyang Mountain, we will reach Tongguan. After passing Tongguan, we will reach the boundary of the Fourth Prince. We will be safe there. "

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw a glimmer of hope. They had been walking for three full months. If they hadn't killed bandits and soldiers along the way to supply supplies, and they could dig some wild vegetables in the middle of summer, they would have starved to death. .

Mr. Jing clasped his hands together: "Thank God, we are finally here!"

The old ladies were also very happy: "God, we are finally coming to an end. The old ladies have never walked such a long way in their lives!"

The women picked up the children who were sitting on the ground and said, "Be obedient and keep persisting. We will be there soon. You can rest however you want."

Jing Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the distance, he would arrive at the Fourth Prince's city in about ten days, and then he could buy supplies. The current dry food, dried meat and other things could last for a while.

Jing Li called Guard Shen: "Brother Shen, you have many sources of information. Have you heard about any bandits or bandits in Shuyang Mountain?"

As soon as they heard about the bandits, the people in Jingjia Village pricked up their ears. They didn't have much to eat, so they hurriedly robbed the bandits to replenish their food.

Shen Huwei looked at the actions of the people in Jingjia Village with amusement. Along the way, they also figured out that these people had nothing to do with the bandits in Wuzui Mountain. Their grain and mules.

Miss Wang was still a little angry about this, but Mrs. Wang reprimanded her daughter: "If this group of people hadn't robbed the bandits, you would have had nothing to eat by now, not to mention that the carriage you were riding in was snatched from the hands of the officers and soldiers. If we are not relatives, why should I take care of you?"

Shen Huwei believed that if it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the people in Jingjia Village, they would have been robbed and killed long ago.

"I haven't heard of these bandits earlier, but now the world is getting more and more chaotic, and we are always on the road, so we can't find out the news at all, so it's not very clear."

"Besides, Shouyang is the territory of King Chenliu. This prince has always been a vegetarian. We can't be careless and be prepared for anything else ahead."

Jing Li was frightened when she heard this. She was also afraid that something would happen at the last moment. After all, everyone was exhausted after walking for so long. If King Chenliu caused trouble again, they and other miscellaneous troops would What can you do to compete with others? "Is there any other way to go besides Shouyang Mountain?" Jingli asked Shen Guards as he reined in his horse.

Shen Huwei shook his head: "This is the only way to go to Tongguan. The other way is too far. It won't be possible for a month or two. Now we"

Before Shen Huwei finished speaking, Jing Li also understood what he said. Everyone was very tired along the way. If they walked for another two months, they really wouldn't be able to carry on.

Jingli was silent for a moment before speaking: "Then let's go to Shouyang Mountain. Brother Shen, please take a few young men from our team to check it out."

"After all, Shouyang is different from other places. The terrain is dangerous and the trees are so tall that it is easy to ambush. If there are bandits ambushing us, we will definitely not be able to get out."

Shen Huwei nodded, and then led a few people to ride horses to Shouyang Mountain.

Jingli ordered the others to prepare machetes, bows and arrows, and then checked the vehicles everywhere.

When passing Huo Shen's vehicle, I found that Huo Shen who was sitting by the window was pale, with big beads of sweat sliding down his face, and he looked weak.

Haitang kept wiping him with a wet handkerchief, her face was filled with anxiety.

Jing Li couldn't help but frown: "Master Huo, what's going on?"

Huo Shen opened his eyes weakly: "It's okay, it's just a bit of heat. You'll get better soon."

Jingli told Haitang: "There are no doctors in our village. Only Uncle Zhao has been hunting for many years and knows some herbs. If you are really uncomfortable, you might as well ask Uncle Zhao to take a look."

There is medicine in Jinli's space, but in this wilderness, if she suddenly takes out a medicine, how can she explain to others that it can save lives? Besides, Huo Shen is still a sensitive and suspicious person.

When Jingli walked to her car, she heard little Su Zheng talking to her mother, Su: "That young master was born extremely well, but his body is too weak. His sister is tired and it's been a hard journey."

Su Shi sighed: "That's right. Weak people like us always drag down the people around us. My Ah Li is also very tired. Fortunately, we are almost there."

Xiao Su nodded: "According to this distance, we should be able to enter Tongguan on August [-]th. I hope that we, the whole family, can have a relaxing holiday by then."

Su took a sip of water and said, "I've been traveling all day long, and you still remember the day so clearly that I don't even know it anymore."

Xiao Su knitted straw sandals in her hands: "We were all busy walking, so I didn't have the mood to worry about what day it was. It was only yesterday that Miss Haitang asked me if it was almost the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so I asked people about the date."

"It's strange to say that when Miss Haitang heard that it was almost the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I looked at her face and looked a little unhappy. Auntie, tell me, this day is not an important day for her family, right?"
