Chapter 13 Urgent need for medicinal materials
  With the food provided by everyone, Zhou's food was better, but her body began to turn red.

It was fine before, but ever since I found out I was pregnant, I have been feeling uncomfortable and nauseous.

After walking for two days, she couldn't even move forward. The Ye family made room for her to ride in the car, but the car was very bumpy and they were worried that the child would be knocked over.

When Ye Xiangxiang checked her pulse, she felt that her qi and blood were too weak, but this was normal. She had not had a good meal in more than a month, and the women had stopped menstruating. Mrs. Zhou was still pregnant, so she was not weak. ?

On the road for the past two days, when she went into the mountains to look for medicinal materials, she also looked for some medicinal materials to nourish Qi and blood, but found nothing.

I found some ginseng, which at least can replenish qi. Wang let Zhou eat all of it, and planned to give Zhou all the rice and noodles sent by others.

Ye Xiangxiang was worried in his heart. If the child was really gone, there would be nothing he could do. The child would not have come at the right time.

But she was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would be in danger. She was so weak now, and if she had another miscarriage or suffered severe bleeding, it would be really fatal.

Looking at the mountain next to him, Ye Xiangxiang said firmly, "I'm going to go into the mountain to look for medicinal materials. Third Aunt's body is really too weak. If this continues, the child will definitely not be able to survive. Dad, when will we cross the mountain peak?"

Ye Hongchang said, "I'll do what you want. I'm too tired from traveling these days, and even the mountain peaks are very dangerous. It's okay to let everyone take a rest. I'll go into the mountains with you tomorrow to find medicinal materials."

"Okay." Ye Xiangxiang nodded. It would be safer for more people. There are wolves in these mountains.

It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon in the sky is very round. Everyone looked at the moon, and many people lowered their heads and wiped their tears. They all missed home.

Ye Hongting said, "Hey, if King Ning hadn't lost the battle, Zhaochuan wouldn't have been massacred. Why would we have to flee? What a wonderful hometown. If it hadn't been for this, everyone would be preparing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home. Well, the weather is good this year, the harvest in the fields is good, and the festival will definitely be lively."

After hearing this, Ye Zhida couldn't help but sigh, "That's not what you said. Even if we were defeated, Zhaochuan should not be slaughtered. I think King Ning has tried his best. The only reason is that the enemy is too cruel. We must kill them all, even the infants.”

After being on the run for so long, this was the first time that everyone talked about the reasons for their escape. Some felt that the court was useless, while others felt that the enemy was too ruthless.

Ye Xiangxiang was helping Ye Hongchang cut wooden arrows. After hearing these words, he asked, "Dad, who do you think should be blamed?"

Ye Hongchang said, "When the matter was not to my own fault, I could say that the enemy was too cruel, but we were all harmed to the point where we could no longer have a home, so I lost my mind. I also blame the court. If King Ning had not been so kind, what if Defeating King Yue and King An early has made Zhaochuan stronger, so are we not the ones fleeing now?"

Ye Xiangxiang nodded slightly and said, "But there will still be people fleeing the famine. As long as there is a war, there will be no people in the world who will not suffer. If we prosper, people will suffer, and if we die, people will suffer."

"But at least we are not suffering." Ye Hongchang sighed, "Xiangxiang, have your father and I become selfish?"

Ye Xiangxiang said, "When the world is at peace, everyone wants to be a kind person, but if they suffer, how many people would rather suffer themselves than let others suffer? It sounds selfish, but it is It’s human nature.”

Ye Hongchang said with a smile, "Xiangxiang has grown up."

Ye Xiangxiang asked curiously, "Dad, now you blame King Ning for being too kind and causing the local people to become homeless. But if King Ning escapes and you happen to meet him, will you beat him to vent your anger or save his life?"

Ye Hongchang thought for a while and finally said, "I will save him. Although his kindness has caused the people so much suffering, the prosperity of Zhaochuan in the past few decades has been given by him. He has allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment for decades. He cannot When the enemy pounces on you, why don't you stab him as well?"

"Dad is such a sober person." Ye Xiangxiang said, "I have to learn from you, you know so much."

Ye Hongchang smiled, "I just go out often and hear people talking about these things in tea shops and wine shops, so I just show off a few words here."

After resting all night, Ye Xiangxiang followed Ye Hongchang into the mountains to look for medicinal materials at dawn the next day. Ye Hongchang also wanted to see if he could hunt any prey. After a few days of recovery, his injury has not fully healed, but he can still try to draw the bow.

Father and daughter went into the mountains together. Ye Xiangxiang found a lot of medicinal materials, but there were none that Zhou could use.

She has seen redness now and needs to stabilize the fetus, but it is really hard to find medicine to replenish qi and blood, not even a single red date.

The two of them were searching intently in the mountains when they suddenly heard movement on the other side of the hillside. Ye Hongchang frowned and told Ye Xiangxiang not to make any sound.

Ye Xiangxiang nodded and followed him to the other side of the hillside.

Ye Hongchang found a safe place for Ye Xiangxiang to squat down, and they hid in the grass to watch the situation on the other side.

The leader was a one-eyed man. They had only been separated for a few days, so they couldn't help but recognize him. Isn't this the same Liu Zhuang who snatched things that day?

To go to Dayan, you need to cross a series of mountain peaks. Although you take a different path, it is reasonable to meet again when you get here.

"Hurry up and hand over your things if you have sense. Brother doesn't have that much patience. If you dare to hide it again, your lives will be at risk."

This time, the one in front turned out to be Gou Yi.

Ye Hongchang and Ye Xiangxiang sneered at the same time, Gou Yi had to pretend hard enough these years, right?
  In just a few days, nothing could be hidden.

He is such a sinister person, and he pretended to be generous and considerate in order to settle down in Tongxin Village.

In this escape, for his own benefit, his true nature was exposed so quickly.

Liu Zhuang's men were still the same. They were injured a lot that day and their fighting ability was greatly reduced. But they were still able to scare people with their knives.

The people who were robbed were a group of refugees, about thirty people, but not many young people. No wonder they were targeted by Liu Zhuang and others.

Gou Yi warned several times, but no one handed over the food. It is possible that there is no food at all.

These refugees all had their heads lowered, and they were just standing next to their own families. They were all frightened.

Ye Xiangxiang didn't dare to speak. They couldn't protect themselves at this time, so they naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Refugees are pitiful, but the world is like this, who wouldn't be pitiful?

Suddenly, the cry of a baby broke the deadlock. A woman panicked and quickly covered the child's mouth.

The child couldn't stop crying, so Liu Zhuang said, "If we don't have food, it's okay to leave it to the children. Food with tender skin and tender meat can fill our stomachs, but it's better than old people like you."

He didn't seem to be joking, Ye Xiangxiang frowned after hearing this.
