Chapter 271 Refugees
The sun poured down, and the western sky was dyed blood red.

In the desolate desert, the ragged people sobbed and dragged a short child wrapped in a dirty ragged coat, and suddenly fell into the gravel.

Behind them are young women and strong men carrying useful things on their backs, or pushing carts full of things creaking through the fleeing crowd.

Human voices, crying voices, shouting voices, and the voices of domestic animals mixed together and gathered under this desolate sky.

The scene of dragging the family with the mouth and temporarily leaving the homeland is mostly the impact of the war.

A gray-haired old woman was supported to sit beside the withered short grass, panting heavily, and waved her arms feebly.

"Go, you guys, go."

The tearful young man had his hands full, his chapped and bloody lips pursed lightly.

"Mother, if you don't go, we can't run a four-legged horse."

Looking at the distant relatives with cloudy eyes, his thin and weak legs and feet moved, but he no longer had the strength to stand up.

Old tears are whirling, and the wrinkled face is even more sad.

"Let's go...you guys go...waiting any longer will only drag you down..."

"Take care of Tie Dan, he's only five years old..."

"Grandma."

In the childish voice, the figure waving his slender arms was dragged by the old man, refusing to let him go back, and the old man reprimanded him in grief and indignation in the shadow.

"No turning back!"

"We managed to get here, and after another seven days, we can go to the next big town, where there are businessmen negotiating, we can still ask for a bowl of water to drink."

"I don't want to go, I want grandma, let the bad guys come, the bad guys come and beat me to death."

When the sobs sounded, the old man looked back at the figure beside the grass, his voice trembling.

"My wife, you go ahead first, and I'll come as soon as I finish seeing off my grandson."

"Going to Huangquan Road, you have to cross the Naihe Bridge. You can wait for me, so you can have a companion..."

After the words fell, the thin body dragged the heart-piercing villain, who was crying, and walked towards the front.

Standing on the sand dune, Li Xian and his party looked at the hundreds of people lined up in the sand sea, and couldn't bear it.

Riding his horse down, Li Xiankai swept over these figures one by one, with terrified eyes, tired postures, and many people's feet wrapped half of their skirts into the worn out soles.He didn't even need to ask Li Xian to know what happened.

While the two teams looked at each other, Li Xian slowly opened his mouth.

"May I ask where you all came from? How long is it until you go to the western frontier?"

At this juncture, someone wants to go to the western border of the border, and the young and strong leader looks up and down at the same group of cloth-wrapped and masked people.

There was no carriage to follow, and it didn't look like a caravan.It has the shadow of a soldier, but it doesn't look like it.

Seeing the doubts of these people who stopped and watched, Li Xian lifted the cloth sheet wrapped around his body, revealing a shiny armor suit.

Jumping off the horse, he cupped his hands and saluted the leader.

"Brother, we are soldiers rushing to help the western frontier, and we hope to show you the way."

After saying the word soldier, the young man's eyes suddenly brightened, his dry palm grabbed Li Xian's arm, looked up and down, and roared behind him.

"It's our pawns from Datang! Datang is here to help!"

After the words fell, many people put down the things in their hands and gathered around, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"The officer is the general who marched west? How many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

"Well, we might be able to return home again, the military masters are some scouts? Where is the army now?"

"Hurry up and drive those barbarians away, our houses have been burned to the ground, and we are still waiting to go back and rebuild, woo woo woo..."

Everyone was very excited, Li Xian pressed down his palms, his eyes were already foggy.

"Everyone, I, Li Xian, will definitely seek justice for you when you lose your family's hatred."

"Behind me is the advance tribe led by me, with the intention of delaying the barbarian cavalry, and the army will be ready to conquer soon."

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient."

Sallow and thin faces came into view, and Li Xian swept his gaze away from the dirty faces and rough and muddy palms one by one, then turned around abruptly, and yelled silently at Cheng Chu behind him.

"Take rations and water and distribute food to these hungry people!"

"Brother Li!"

The unanimous words suddenly came from the horseback.

With fear in their eyes, they looked at the figure under the horse, and Cheng Chumo shouted first.

"Land of the desert, this is no joke!"

Just as he was about to speak, a child was heard crying. Li Xian suddenly looked at the old man who had been left behind by the grass, and wiped his tears into the crowd.

The ragged old man sat on the ground, numbly staring at the striding figure, took out a piece of mustache from his arms, and put it in front of the old woman.

"Grandma, eat...to live..."

The innate kindness could not see such a scene, and Li Xian's arm was trembling slightly as he handed the Hubing.

The wrinkled face turned around, with tears in the muddy old eyes, and he tried hard to open his dull eyes, and carefully looked at the figure in front of him.

Suddenly, the old woman grabbed the branch beside her and pulled it towards Li Xian.

"You go! You military masters who are not for the people!"

"Get out, get out of here."

The people who silently watched the hundreds of soldiers tossing and eating from the accompanying packages also became angry, pushing and shoving the soldiers who came to hand them food, shouting loudly.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"We don't need food from you! We are being persecuted by you."

"You sinners, get out, the sooner the better."

The leading young man slapped the whip in his hand, and a high-pitched voice sounded in the desert.

"Hurry up, let's go! If you pass through this ghostly place, you will be the transfer town of the Central Plains."

"There is water, food, and our relatives there."

The figures of chariots and horses set off again, Li Xian's eyes were filled with tears, he couldn't tell what it was like, the hundred riders behind him were either holding food, or standing still, feeling bitter in his heart.

Zhou Mu Han Wei is an official of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the soldiers. He fled without fighting, but it was these unarmed people who suffered the disaster.

The people have this misunderstanding, don't blame others, just blame these soldiers who eat the people's food but don't serve the people.

wow wow wow.

Among the people who had gone away, one hurried over kicking the floating sand, piled up a small jar of water and a piece of pancake stuck to the mud, and placed it beside the old woman.

"It's cold in the underworld, so eat something to cushion your stomach."

"Don't let the little ghosts see the clues when you are reincarnated. Otherwise, grandma will accumulate good deeds all her life, and she won't be able to vote for a good family."

The tears in the old man's eyes seemed to be unable to stop anymore and flowed slowly.

Being lifted up with difficulty, he glanced at the squirming crowd, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was in a free spirit.

"It's enough for me to plow and weave in the farmhouse, but it's the fate of a rich lady to join a rich family."

"The stone town on the border of the western border is where my ancestors lived. Niu Er, I will be satisfied when these military masters take back their lost land. On the way back, pick up a few bones of the old woman who was holding her tightly and throw them into the grave of my hometown. gone."

It seemed that these fluent words had exhausted the last of the old man's strength, and the body being supported suddenly leaned back uncontrollably.

The huge man burst into tears in an instant, gently laid down the body, and nodded his head while whimpering.

"I must...I must."
