The team continued to move forward, and continued to walk intermittently until the hour of midnight. Everyone was exhausted. After packing up the children, the adults were reluctant to eat or drink and just went to sleep.
Niu Dan from Xiaoshi Village had already woken up, and the couple had brought two kilograms of brown rice and 20 wen to express their gratitude to Liu Yuhan and his family. Old Lady Jiang took the 20 wen but refused to take the brown rice.
The Liu brothers set up their tent by the light of the torches. The family ate in batches, and everyone had the pork ribs and rice, which was so delicious that they wanted to eat the bones.
The two elders love to eat potatoes. These potatoes are soft, sticky and sweet, and even softer than yams. They have different flavors but are equally delicious. After the meal, they drink a bowl of egg and vegetable soup, which is very satisfying.
While others are saving food and water, they can eat so well thanks to Xiaohan.
Even if the two elders did not tell Liu Shihu and his wife explicitly, they both had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Since their parents did not say anything, they must have their reasons.
They knew that Liu Yuhan had been giving her daughter expensive medicine, and her daughter's complexion was getting better and better.
She basically walked alone on the way to escape the famine. Her eldest son felt sorry for his sister and would push Liu Yun for a while.
The couple had nothing to say except gratitude. The family looked pretty good because of the food and drinks. Fortunately, everyone was busy on their way, and their faces were all gray, just like everyone else.
Sometimes Xiaosi, Xiaowu and Old Lady Jiang would smear mud on their faces for no reason. Children change a lot, and their faces are all dirty. Who would still stare at your face?
When Liu Yuhan entered the space tonight, she was happy again. She found that the land in the space had increased by about one acre!
Although it is only more than 60 square meters, it is already very good!
Through these few rescues, Liu Yuhan gradually figured out the laws of space.
If saving people can expand the space, and she learns more medical skills, she can not only help people to the best of her ability, but also gain the land of the space. This is very encouraging to her.
I didn't want to sleep any longer tonight. After washing up, I practiced sword-fighting and then continued to read medical books. While doing all this, I also cooked some rock sugar and mung bean porridge.
The weather is too hot, drinking some mung beans can also help relieve the heat. Tonight I set the alarm for only 4 hours for the first time, and I can just catch up on the sleep at noon tomorrow.
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
After another day of walking, they were finally reaching Wu'an City. Today was already the fourth day, and they were almost out of water. Especially today, even the adults, with their chapped lips, didn't dare to moisten their mouths, so they could save some for the elderly and children.
Everyone decided to find out the situation first, and if they could get into the city, they would see if they could get water. Generally, there are many deep wells dug in the city.
The villagers of Liujia Village had stockpiled grain and yams before, so if they saved some food, they could still last for nearly a month.
There were many civilians outside the city of Wu'an. The officers and soldiers had imposed martial law and no one was allowed to enter the city. There were even soldiers with bows and arrows on guard on the city walls.
The common people below the city were disheveled and emaciated. Some cried, some cursed, some were numb, and some even lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
The gates of Wu'an City have been closed since yesterday. Before that, ordinary people couldn't enter. The entrance fee was two taels of silver per person, and they couldn't stay overnight.
I wonder what the government office means? The city gates have been closed since yesterday, and no one has come out to say anything. Furthermore, martial law has been put in place at the gates.
What they didn't know was that the Huns had actually invaded and the city in front had already fallen, but because of the backward location and communications, these ordinary people could not get the news.
There had been a riot in the capital before, and most of the Qi family army guarding the northern border had been transferred away. The Xiongnu took advantage of the domestic troubles in Nanlin and launched a fierce foreign threat to them.
With one move, they unexpectedly dealt a heavy blow to Qi's army. Some Huns took the opportunity to invade, while others fought to the death with Qi's army.
The garrison commander of Wu'an City was a man who was greedy for money and afraid of death.
Hearing the news, he quickly closed the city gates. He didn't care about the lives of the people, nor did he ask them to retreat or hide.
He even thought that if the Huns invaded, these ants could give them their heads and block it for him. This sinister and vicious idea deserves death!
It was already 5pm when Liu Yuhan and his group arrived at the city gate. Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard loud shouts.
"The barbarians are coming, run away!"
"Ah, the barbarian killed someone!"
…
Xiaoshi Village was walking last, and when they saw the people from Liujia Village, they all turned around and shouted at them to hurry back. Some people from Xiaoshi Village also heard the noise and told each other to run: "The barbarians are coming, run away!" Everyone ran forward desperately. A child threw something on the wheelbarrow, told them to hold on tightly, and then pushed it hard and ran.
I don’t know how long I ran, but I didn’t dare stop until there was no movement behind me.
Compared to being tired, of course it is fatal.
Liu Mang was driving the ox cart, and he went from being at the front to being at the back.
It was not until the sky darkened and the village chief called for a stop that everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Liu Yuhan greeted the two elders and the village chief, and asked them to take the people to the woods on the side of the road, away from the official road, and not to make any noise or start any fire.
He took his parents to Wu'an City. They decided to explore the way. They had to know what happened. They had to know whether the barbarians had come in and were driven away or what, and what their route should be.
When they were a little further away from the main group, she told her father to wait there, as she wanted to take her mother with her but not him.
Liu Shinan was still wondering why he was not taken with him?
Liu Yuhan quickly pulled out a mountain bike from his space and took out a flashlight. The couple was shocked! Carefully touching the bike, this, this, this...
What the hell is this?!
They immediately knew what it was, and it turned out to be able to run.
Fortunately, this mountain bike had a rear seat and lights. It had cost her a lot of money. Liu Yuhan taught her how to sit properly and then set off.
Holding a flashlight in his hand, the abandoned Liu Shinan... Actually, he also wanted to try it...
Fortunately, the official road is relatively smooth.
Liu Yuhan was riding very fast. Although Liu was brave, she still held on tightly to the seat where Liu Yuhan was sitting.
This is so exciting, even more exciting than riding a horse, but the bumpy buttocks are uncomfortable...
Uh, Liu Yuhan forgot to bring some thick cloth to pad her mother's buttocks...
In half an hour, they arrived near the city gate.
Liu Yuhan put the bicycle into the space, and the two of them walked forward stealthily. Before they reached the city gate, they smelled a pungent smell of blood. The city gate was closed, and there were people on guard on the city wall.
Seeing the tragic scene outside the city gate, Liu Yuhan couldn't control her whole body and trembled. Liu hugged her in her arms, not letting her look, and patted her back soothingly with one hand.
Liu Yuhan's tears dripped onto Liu's shoulder. The tragic scene below the city kept flashing in her mind: corpses scattered on the ground, red blood, the surviving people holding their dead in their arms and crying loudly, their voices filled with despair... The cries rose and fell, and this was the tragedy of the world.
Why? Why! Allowing your compatriots to be killed...
