Chapter Thirty-Three Chapter One of Ping An County
The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!
In the past, this kind of scene was just a concept for Li Yang. If you haven’t experienced it personally, you can’t imagine what a desolate scene it was.
Since leaving Nuqing County, I have been traveling eastward. Every few hundred meters on both sides of the road, there will always be some bones that are frozen to death, starved to death, or bitten to death by wild animals. The land is deserted, which makes Li Yang numb.
In the turbulent times, bandits were rampant. In the past month of rushing, there were countless bandits Li Yang and his party met.
Some were in groups, some were ragged and ragged, their hungry eyes turned green, and they were fully equipped like in the movie, but were shiny all over their body, but they were rare. Most of them were temporary teams composed of ordinary people who had to be forced to be tired of the world.
Li Yang would advise him first. If he didn't listen, he wouldn't be a bad person. He would all turn into blood food in the belly of the golden toad, providing nutrients for his growth.
"Madam, it's getting late, let's take a break in the county town not far ahead.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Li Yang lifted the curtain of the car behind him and said to Mrs. He, who was full of fatigue.
"Listen to you..." Mrs. He smiled slightly, and continued to pick up some of the common sense of practice copied by Li Yang in her hand and read it.
With a cup of tea, the roads on both sides gradually became wider, and the roads on both sides gradually became more popular.
"Ping An County!" Looking at the low blue-gray city wall in front of you, Li Yang frowned involuntarily.
This county town looks similar to Nuqing County, but there is a military commander at the entrance of the county town. It is obvious that there is a force to station here. Li Yang and his party are holding several trucks of gold, silver and jewelry. If the military guards inspected at the door find out, although he is not afraid, he is too lazy to trouble.
He drove the carriage to the wasteland beside him and stopped. Li Yang lifted the curtain and said, "Madam, there are warlords stationed in this county, and I don't know which force it is. We are carrying this cart of gold and silver, and it is probably inconvenient to enter."
"Then we'd better leave quickly. When we find a safe place, it's not too late to rest." Hearing this, Mrs. He held Li Yang's hand with some concern, with a little anxious expression.
Along the way, there were bandits, robbers, hungry refugees and refugees everywhere. Although Li Yang's support had no accidents, she was inevitably worried and frightened. After all, she was born in a wealthy family and knew the face of warlords in troubled times better than anyone else. Sometimes she was even more vicious than bandits.
"Madam, don't worry. We have already consumed almost all the time along the way. Even if we don't spend the night here, we have to go to the city to replenish it so that we can continue on the road."
"In this way, we are two of us entering the city. Sister Jin Ling, please take care of these property here and try not to let strangers approach. I will leave the golden toad. If there is someone who is not open, just say hello, and he will naturally know how to act."
As he said that, Li Yang took out a fist-sized golden toad from his arms and handed it over.
"Madam, go with peace of mind. I'm here to watch. I think there is someone who is not afraid of death to come." Jin Ling raised the golden toad in her hand and touched the slut on her body, looking like she couldn't let it go.
"You three, be careful to protect the carriage. If you dare to have the intention that you shouldn't have, you know my methods." After greeting the three hired coachmen, Li Yang looked at them deeply, and the cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes...yes, yes...Master, please feel free to go to the city to replenish supplies. I will never dare to give birth to any bad things." Along the way, Li Yang's cruel methods had already made the three coachmen creepy. Now, when he heard this, they all unknowingly promised, for fear of causing his dissatisfaction, so they fed them to the toads.
Li Yang was very satisfied with the performance of the three coachmen. In this chaotic world, he was necessary to guard against others. If people dare not overcome them at all, sometimes some necessary means are indispensable.
He led Mrs. He towards the county town. After a month of cultivation, Li Yang's face gradually recovered a little flesh and blood. Although it was still bloodless, it would not scare others at least. Mrs. He hung a scarf on her head to cover her pretty face.
After paying the city entrance fee, the soldiers guarding the gate did not make any difficulties.
The county town is not big, just like Nuqing County, but its popularity is much more prosperous than Nuqing County.
It can be seen that the security in this county is pretty good. Scattered hawkers are hawking on the streets, and the air is filled with a strange smell.
Although it cannot be compared with the scenes seen in the movie, it is rare to see county towns that can have such a weather in this chaotic world.
After walking along the way, although I often encounter beggars begging, at least both sides of the streets are still clean, and there is no dirty scene of feces and urine accumulation like Nuqing County.
"Brother...you're OK, buy me. I'm very cheap. Just two silver dollars. I'm very well-behaved and can wash clothes."
Just as Li Yang was looking around and looking around, he suddenly felt someone pulling his trouser legs, and then a timid voice came.
Li Yang looked down and saw a dirty and pitiful little girl kneeling on the ground with a grass on her head, looking at herself timidly. Her clothes were torn and her face was covered with stains, but her eyes were full of hope.
Seeing this, Li Yang felt a sense of innocence of sorrow. He took out a ingot of silver from his arms, thought for a while, and then pinched it into pieces and handed it to her a corner. It was not that he was reluctant to let it go, but in this chaotic world, a little girl of three or four years old holding a ingot of silver might harm her.
"Go back quickly, don't let your family wait in a hurry." He gently touched the little girl's head, and Li Yang gently wiped her face.
"I...I don't have a home..." It took a while until Li Yang showed doubts that the little girl raised her head and a trace of water vapor appeared in her eyes.
"The child has a straw on his head, probably because he wants to sell himself." Mrs. He also squatted down with a look of distress at this time and asked, "Little girl, where is your family."
"Grandpa...Grandpa was bitten to death by a bad dog, wow..."
"I...I can't carry him, wuwu...I don't have money, so I want to sell myself and bury my grandfather." Hearing Mrs. He's question, the little girl paused for a moment, then started crying. After a while, she sobbed and explained the whole story.
"Poor child, what's your name?" Seeing this scene, Mrs. He immediately became maternal love, and she didn't care about the stains on the little girl's body. She hugged her in her arms and said lovingly.
"I...I don't have a name, grandpa called me Tuantuan." The little girl twisted in Mrs. He's arms with some anxiety. After a while, she said timidly.
Mrs. He hugged the little girl and comforted her softly until her mood recovered, so she was allowed to lead the way ahead.
It took a quarter of an hour to make a move on the street, and the little girl took Li Yang and Mrs. He into a remote alley.
