After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 92 The suffering of leaving home

  Liu Sanjiu told him that he was originally a resident of Tusu City. He fled to Weicheng on the eve of Tusu City eleven years ago.

  The old man in the family is already seventy-two, a rare longevity in today's Panlong Wasteland. Hearing that the Baling Army had arrived again, Old Man Liu was determined not to leave this time, holding on tightly to the pillar, and wanted to perish with the city. Liu Sanjiu and his wife fought hard, but there was nothing they could do about him. In the end, they had to bid farewell to their father in tears and retreat eastward with their children.

  When Liu Sanjiu said this, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face. He knew very well that old man Liu knew he couldn't walk fast, and he didn't want to drag his son's family to escape.

  This kind of tragedy of life and death is just common in today's fleeing teams. If you pull out any household, you will be full of bitterness.

   At this time, Liu Sanjiu's son was also tired from walking, calling for his father to hug him.

  He was only ten years old, and he was overdrawn after walking on the plain in the rain for several hours.

  Liu Sanjiu was already holding his daughter in his arms, and the little donkey was also bent over by the luggage. The child might crush the donkey if he went up again.

  He Lingchuan couldn't bear it: "I'll help you..." He was about to help someone hold the baby, but after a second thought, he lifted a large bag of luggage on the donkey's back, "...lift these, you put the baby on it."

  Too enthusiastic is like a human trafficker. In this kind of fleeing team, it is not uncommon for children to get lost or abducted.

  The luggage he carried only contained bedding and clothes, which were bulky, took up space, and were worthless, so Liu Sanjiu immediately cast a more grateful look at him.

   To meet good people while fleeing from disaster is really to burn incense and accumulate great virtue.

  Oftentimes, someone would come from behind, passing Liu Sanjiu's family and rushing forward. Running away from soldiers is actually similar to hiding from a tiger. As long as you can outrun your companions, your safety factor will increase greatly.

   In this regard, ordinary people like Liu Sanjiu can't do anything about it, and the current speed of traveling has reached the limit.

   From time to time, a small group of rangers came from the east and went against the team.

  The figure of Gale Army made everyone feel a little bit of comfort.

  Liu Sanjiu pointed at them and said to his little daughter: "These uncles will protect us. As long as we go to meet them, we will be safe!"

   At this moment, there was an exclamation from the front.

  He Lingchuan looked up, and saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the ground in front of him, shaking twice, and fell over. The wife sat on the mule's back and hurried down to the ground. The son tried to help his father up, but the latter had passed out.

  This son is in his early forties, sallow and thin, and he is walking precariously. He wanted to carry his father on his back, but he fell to the ground within two steps, splashing mud all over his body.

  The other refugees watched silently, then walked past them without looking back.

  Everyone in this team is overwhelmed with self-care, so how can they find extra strength to do good?

  Liu Sanjiu and his wife looked at each other, lowered their heads as well, and walked over with the donkey.

   Right at this moment, three cavalrymen approached, the leader reined in his horse and stopped, and asked, "What's going on?"

   "Master Jun, my father can't walk anymore!" The man said with tears in his eyes, "Please do me a favor, please help me!"

  He Lingchuan was taken aback as soon as he looked up.

  Slender eyebrows, long eyes and indifferent face, hey, isn't this an old acquaintance?

   Wasn’t it the commander of the Gale Army who attacked the Heishuicheng army in Panlonghuangcheng, and who led the order of the Black Dragon to **** them out of the desert?

   It's just that he was a heroic spirit at that time, and he had no courage to speak, and he didn't communicate with He Lingchuan at all; this time he is a living person, and this is the first time He Lingchuan heard him speak.

  But He Lingchuan quickly lowered his head, because the commander's sharp eyes swept over immediately.

  Although there was no communication, He Lingchuan was deeply impressed by this guy's habit of stabbing people with a spear without saying a word.

   Fortunately, at this time, the refugees also gathered around, wanting to see how the Gale Army would solve it.

  The commander withdrew his gaze and was silent for a while before saying: "Throw away the goods and help your father get on the mule."

   In addition to carrying an old woman, the donkey is the property of the three people. The man's face turned pale when he heard this: "Master Jun, my mule is lame and can't carry two people. Can you spare a horse?"

  The leader said: "Then throw away the belongings, and help your father onto the mule, and you carry your mother."

  The old woman took a step forward, grabbed the rein and cried loudly: "My old man can't walk anymore, please forgive me! You don't need a horse, he is a life!"

  Her white hair was thin, wet from the rain, and strands stuck to her face, looking pitiful.

  The commander's gaze swept across her face, and then looked at the unconscious old man on the ground, and the pleading man, his Adam's apple moved.

  Everyone could see that he hesitated.

  The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him a few times: "I beg your mercy, borrow a horse!" He begged four or five times.

  The commander let out a long breath.

   Just when He Lingchuan thought he would compromise, the commander pointed to the hill not far away: "There is a hole on the mountain where you can hide from the rain. I can send someone to help your father rest there, and I will pick him up tomorrow."

  The man was stunned: "My father is going to the mountain? That is also a dead end, what should the enemy do if they come after us!"

  The old woman cried louder, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mom, don't cry!"

   "You can only gamble, make a decision now!" The commander said coldly, "The enemy will retreat tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely send someone over to inspect."

  He waited on the spot for a while, seeing that the man was still undecided, so he shook off the rein and prepared to leave.

   "Wait, wait!" The man gritted his teeth, "I've decided, I'll send my dad up the mountain, you guys can do me a favor!"

  The commander nodded slightly to his subordinates, who immediately helped the old man onto the saddle. The woman suddenly said: "Take me away, I will be with the old man!"

  Her attitude was extremely firm, and the man muttered twice, but did not refute.

  So the cavalry took the old couple and rode their horses to the hill seventy paces away.

  The commander moves on and does not linger.

  The man stood there watching for a while, with a lonely face, and then led the mule forward.

   Now, he is the only one left in the family of three.

  Liu Sanjiu's wife whispered: "This man is really pitiful, and the leader is also hard-hearted. I thought that the Gale Army treated us civilians very well."

  Liu Sanjiu said sullenly: "It's not good, who here doesn't want to help?"

  If the leader helps the old couple, other civilians will definitely rush to him for help:

  Why help them not help us? Who is not a refugee anymore?

  The task of these sergeants is not to rescue but to cover and fend off the enemy. If they are dragged here, they cannot go to the rear to meet them, but they will cause trouble to the companions who are behind!

  Wife is displeased: "You still talk to them!"

   "Now, who else can we talk to?" Liu Sanjiu smiled wryly, "At any rate, the Gale Army came to meet us, and we are not from Panlong City."
