Queue, household registration department, painter, identity board, these words they have never heard before, and they don't understand what they mean.

    After experiencing the embarrassment just now, the soldier's attitude is better,  He is guilty of his prejudice against the refugees,  So his attitude is gentle and very careful.

    There are four city gates in Tianshangjing,  Each city gate is divided into nearly 100,000 refugees,  100,000 people, it is definitely impossible to count them in a day or two. Refugees who are not counted live outside the city for a few days.

    For this reason, Jiang You specially ordered the army to send more people to maintain the system,  And let the soldiers build some grass huts outside.

    Yuanniang is standing under the scorching sun,  there are many people in front of her,  now they are all lining up,  to enter the household registration, but also to describe the identity Wooden sign.

    Yuanniang didn't quite understand the meaning of these words,  she just listened to the soldiers,  don't dare to ask more, she will do what others do.

   

    Yuanniang knew that Dawa was a good boy, if it wasn't for thirsty, he would never say it to cause trouble.

    But where to go now for water?

    This is not a wild place, there is no mountain stream where you can drink water, neatly dressed adults in the distance, soldiers with swords in their hands, and some homeless people with bamboo tubes, but such weather , they will not send water to her.

    Yuanniang tentatively asked the refugees around her. The refugees were kind-hearted. She used a bamboo tube lid and filled a little water out, just enough to moisten her lips.

    Dawa licked it cherishly, and handed the rest to Yuan Niang, who shook her head and licked her dry lips, saying that she was not thirsty.

    The soldier next to her seemed to notice this, Yuan Niang raised her head and met the soldier's eyes.

    The soldier is very young, about 16 or 17 years old, but he is very tall, a head taller than Yuanniang's husband, and still very strong. Yuanniang felt that this soldier's arms, Thicker than her thighs.

    Yuanniang quickly lowered her head, if such a powerful soldier provokes him and kicks her, she will probably die.

    She can die, but she can't and dare not die. If the big baby loses her mother, how will she survive in this world?

    The soldier frowned and said a few words to the other soldier next to him. Yuan Niang paid attention to the soldier from the corner of her eye. Seeing the young soldier kept looking at her when he spoke, she was so frightened Ma, his face paled even more.

    "Mother?" Dawa sensed Yuanniang's strangeness and whispered.

    "Big baby, big baby, if someone comes to look for your mother in a while, you must run far away and run to the aunt who gave you water just now, just say it is her child , do you know?" Yuan Niang was even more frightened when she saw the soldier coming over suddenly, but now she calmed down a bit, dragged the big baby and she repeatedly warned.

    The big baby was confused by what she said. He didn't know why Yuanniang said that. He only felt that he was about to lose his mother, and his big eyes were instantly filled with tears and fell on the front of the clothes. , disappeared without a trace.

    He didn't dare to cry loudly, because crying out loud would annoy others, provoke scolding from others, and make mother apologise humbly.

    "Mother, mother, don't leave the big baby, don't leave..." The big baby said in a low voice, he knew that he would cry loudly, so he had to speak softly, otherwise others would be very upset bother.

    "Big baby, my big baby." Yuan Niang saw the child crying silently, her heart was like a knife, why is it so difficult to live!

      Her child is so obedient and smart, her eldest child is the most caring child in the world, but now she has to live a life without a father or mother.

    Why, why!

    "This eldest sister, is the child tired? It's so hot today, it must be uncomfortable to stand. The Major General has already sent someone to the city to fetch water, and a grass hut will be set up by the roadside later. If you can't stand it, you can say something and go in to escape the heat and drink tea."

    When Yuanniang and Dawa were parting with life and death, a young boy's voice sounded in Yuanniang's ear. Mother has rarely heard of gentleness.

    Yuanniang and Dawa looked up at the soldier dumbfoundedly. The young soldier faced two similar faces and the same crying expression, and took a half step back in fear. , then scratched his head embarrassedly, "I, I'm just learning Lu Guo dialect, and I don't speak very well. Is the child thirsty? It's okay for adults to be thirsty for a while, but children can't be thirsty, I have a water bladder here, The scented tea that I just boiled this morning is probably cold now, so I’ll just drink it.”

    There is a problem with young soldiers, that is, they like to ramble when they are nervous, and they keep talking, as if they can relieve the awkward atmosphere.

     Colleagues are very annoying about his problem, but Yuan Niang heard that she told her to slowly calm down her fear.

    It turns out that such a strong person will also have a cute and ordinary side. It turned out that the soldiers in armor, not every time they saw them, would shout and kill, wanting her life.

    "Thank you, thank you." Yuan Niang stretched out her hand hesitantly and took the young soldier's water bladder. Red with a slight floral fragrance. "Why is this water..."

    "It's tea, scented tea, the eldest princess likes this scented tea very much, plus it's simple to make, it tastes very sweet, so we people in Beijing like it very much. There are big shops on South Street. You can buy it directly, or you can go to the snack street in the west to buy it, but it will be more expensive. The scented tea in the west street will be sweetened with sugar and honey, which is very sweet. Children love to drink it, but unfortunately I am just an ordinary scented tea..." The soldier said As he spoke, he didn't know what to think of, and looked at Dawa in a daze.

    Yuanniang listened carefully, but when she saw the soldiers staring at the baby, she became vigilant again, and she moved forward secretly, blocking the gap between the soldier and the child.

    "If my sister was still alive, she would be about the same age as this child. She likes to eat the sweet fruit on the mountain, and every time she eats one, she will smile happily. Now I can buy sweet for her She can't drink tea anymore." The soldier lowered his head and said, obviously a man as reliable as a mountain, but at this moment, he seemed to be more vulnerable than the children behind her.

    Yuanniang was a little overwhelmed, she didn't know what sadness was, because her life was all occupied by the obsession of living.

    When her brothers and sisters died when she was a child, she didn't know how to grieve. When her parents died when she was a child, she didn't know how to grieve. Now her husband died, she couldn't remember the condolences.

    Perhaps not to mention, those people can always live by her side and give her the courage to live.

    "Sister, you wait here for a while, and the merchants on West Street are all there. I will ask them to bring a cup." Soldiers' sorrows come and go quickly, and life will pass. Yes, for those who have passed away.

    Yuanniang didn't have time to stop, the young soldier was let out like an arrow, ran into the crowd, and disappeared after a while.

    Yuanniang looked down, she was still holding a water bag in her hand.

    "Mother, it's delicious. Mother also drinks." The big baby took a sip of the water in the lid, the drink called tea, with a slight bitterness and more sweetness. The big baby only felt that the mouth was full of sweetness from the tip of the tongue to the whole mouth.

    He had never had such good water.

    Yuanniang shook her head, "Mother doesn't like sweets, so please drink it yourself."

    The big baby stubbornly raised the lid and insisted that Yuan Niang take a sip. Yuan Niang couldn't convince him, and finally had to dip the tip of her tongue.

    Slightly bitter, and more sweet.

    After a while, the soldiers did not come back. Yuan Niang saw a large carriage driving out of the city. Four pillars, and then a large thatched shed can be covered.

    Yuanniang thinks this kind of house is very good, even better than her original thatched cottage with airy all sides and leaking roof.

    But according to the soldiers, this is only for a temporary rest.

    Also, how could such a good house be for them?

    Several carriages were transported out of the city. There were large wooden barrels on the carts, bamboo pipes on the sides of the wooden barrels, and plugs were plugged on the tops. When the plugs were removed, the water inside would flow out. There are also many large pottery bowls on the side.

     

    What is this? There seems to be a pattern printed on the narrow stick. Yuan Niang felt that the pattern resembled a character, but she was not sure.

      Yuan Niang saw that the rest of the refugees were being led into the grass hut by the soldiers, so she did not dare to go forward.

    She has to wait in line.

    "What are you doing standing here? Didn't you get a ticket? Someone will inform you when your number arrives, hurry in!" The soldier in charge of draining the crowd saw Yuanniang still standing there. , He knew softly, he looked down at the little big baby, a kind smile appeared on his dark face, took out two pieces of candy from his arms and stuffed them into the big baby, "The child is still so young, it will be better if you keep it in the sun. Heatstroke, come in quickly."

    Yuanniang nodded again and again with sincerity, she didn't even know why she nodded, and how she brought the baby into the grass shed.

    There are many good soldiers in this place.

    The big baby looked at the candy in his hand curiously, what was wrapped in the beautiful paper, he smelled the sweet smell, but he dared not open it.

      Fortunately, the owner of the flower tea shop has signed two new people to run errands, otherwise they would not have been delivered so quickly."
