Meng Tan didn't know what kind of mentality he was in and insisted on seeing the 'corpse'.

Maybe it was because she encountered too many things today and had many things on her mind, which made her feel uneasy.

When she heard Chen Changsheng's cry of fear, the uneasiness in her heart was torn away, and a voice in her heart clamored for her to go and take a look.

Go and have a look, maybe you can relieve your uneasiness.

But the moment he actually saw the 'corpse' and saw a familiar face, Meng Tan panicked for no reason.

She patted Cui Ping's pale face, but Cui Ping had no response. Looking down, Cui Ping's clothes were in tatters, and almost no piece of exposed skin was intact, like a sieve with holes.

In his previous life, Meng Tan would have suffered from trypophobia.

Maybe it had been soaked in water for a long time, and the wounds turned white and turned out, with small abyss holes that could not be seen to the bottom, and the body was also very hot.

[Quick, Dalang Sanlang, lift the person up quickly. ]
After the initial panic, Meng Tan quickly calmed down and screamed in her heart, but before she could finish shouting, four hands quickly appeared on both sides, grabbed Cui Ping, and dragged Cui Ping to the shore like a big fish.

When had this madman Cui Ping ever been in such a sorry state?

A pair of big hands suddenly trembled and hugged her, leading her to swim to the shore. Meng Tan turned her head and saw that it was the scared Chen Changsheng. At this moment, the face of this cheap son was full of worry.

"Mom, don't be afraid."

She wasn't afraid. Chen Changsheng's body was shaking like this. It was obvious that he was afraid, but her hands and feet seemed to be out of control, and she couldn't move her mouth.

After arriving on the shore, facing the last bit of sunset, Meng Tan seemed to feel a burst of warmth, and her numb limbs began to react. She knelt down next to Cui Ping, mechanically checking the man's pupils and feeling for his pulse. , probing this person's breath.

Very good, not dead yet, but close to death.

"Master Cui, are you still alive?"

Chen Changan asked, and there was a slight tremor in his voice that was hard to detect.

Meng Tan didn't notice it and just said:

[Quick, let’s go back to town quickly. ]
"No, mother, we can't go back to town! Let's not let people know that Master Cui is injured and dying!"

Hearing this, Meng Tan looked up and clearly saw a trace of panic wrapped in calmness in Chen Changan's eyes.

For a moment, Meng Tan's mind, which had always only pretended to be gossip, was filled with conspiracy theories.

Cui Ping was being hunted, maybe because of the idea she gave.

It's hard to say whether there is anyone in Changhe Town who wants to hunt him down.

This is not a modern era with excellent security, this is an era without surveillance.

How easy it would be to kill someone and bury their body in such a deserted place.

"Brother, let's go back to the village? I know where there is a boat. It's in a nearby village. That person is a good friend of mine. I can borrow a boat from him. It will be quick to get back to the village."

Chen Changsheng obviously realized that danger seemed to be around him. This was the first time, no, the second time he was so close to death.

This feeling is not pleasant at all.

Chen Changan nodded, "Ask Sanlang to accompany you. Don't panic. Judging from Master Cui's wound, it must have been floating for a long time. There is no danger around, so don't panic."

Chen Changsheng nodded, followed Chen Changan's example and calmed down, at least he didn't look so panicked, and pulled Chen Changyun and ran towards an inconspicuous road. "Mom, when we enter the village, we don't want to disturb the people in the village. We can't let anyone discover it. You can't tell anyone that Mr. Cui is in our house. Tomorrow I will ask Erlang to send the second brother and two younger sisters to Tian's house to stay for a while. Time.”

[Did you know something or discover something? ]

[If you don’t tell your mother, she will only become more panicked. You have to teach me, Dalang. Our family’s future is more than this. I can’t hold you back. ]
Meng Tan frowned. During these days, everything she did went so smoothly that she had an illusion.

She felt that she could live a good life by herself in ancient times. After all, she was the great fairy everyone talked about.

Therefore, she regarded the people in the Chen family as her helpers or subordinates who could do things for her. She never thought that a scholar who could be among the best would be much smarter than her.

A young boy who dares to cheat and do business under the enemy is much braver and more strategic than him.

Even Chen Changyun, who was looking at him blankly, showed a talent beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She had a kind of arrogance and contempt for these people that she didn't realize she had.

But now, she realizes that she is not omnipotent, and there are still things she cannot understand.

And these things are things that she will often encounter on the road she will take in the future.

She couldn't see it, but Chen Changan was just a scholar, just a scholar, he could see it.

Chen Chang'an looked at Meng Tan steadily for a while, then squatted down. Even in such a wide open space, his voice was extremely quiet.

"Mom, there is no food in Nanzhou City. The enemy is also starting to run out of food. There are even internal conflicts and they are starting to steal food from our own people."

"In Jixian County, even twenty cents is considered expensive for coarse grains, but Sanlang sold it for a high price of one hundred and fifty cents. The other party even thought it was so cheap."

Chen Changan's eyes gradually became frightening, and a frightening fact came out of his mouth, "Erlang only said a few words in general, but I guess that people have started to eat each other in Nanzhou City. He must have seen something when he entered the city. , that look in his eyes is so scary.”

Chen Changan paused for a moment, "If Nanzhou City is like this, the entire Southern Jin Dynasty must not be much better. What do you think will happen in such a food-deficient country?"

[Rob! ]
Meng Tan broke into a cold sweat and stared at Chen Changan.

[Jixian is so close. If they want to rob, they will definitely come to Jixian! ]

Jixian County can be regarded as a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. The climate is suitable and it can also be regarded as a county with a large food tax revenue.

"Yes, so if something happens to Mr. Cui at this time, regardless of whether the Huainan family he offended will benefit, even if the Nanzhou army attacks, it will require the cooperation of Mr. Cui and the Jixian military branch to resist. It is even said that Mr. Cui No more, whether the Jixian Military Guard Branch can take charge of Jixian County is a question."

"The current deputy commander of the Fuling County Military Guard is Li Pei. His first wife is the daughter of the Lu family. She has always been at odds with the commander Fu An."

Meng Tan took a breath of cold air. She, as a politically insensitive person, knew that if two generals in power in an army were at odds, chaos would begin from within.

There is no need to think that the only victims of these two people's fighting will be ordinary people like them.

Meng Tan's brows were furrowed and she was even more panicked.

Moreover, Cui Ping, whose wrist she kept pinching, seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

Chen Changan took another look at Meng Tan squeezing Cui Ping's hand, as if he was saying to himself, and also to Meng Tan: "On the day my mother had an accident, Mr. Cui was as panicked as he is now. Now, my mother is also panicked." Already..."

Ah, can you not panic?
When she thought that someone would die because of her idea, she panicked, and she had to bear the blame!

Besides, she was reluctant to let Cui Ping die.
