The army is full of men, and Sister Chunhua is a woman. I don’t know if it is convenient for her to be a doctor.
Lu Cheng said, "Sister Chunhua is fine. She is staying in the carriage with Zheng Hua and Zheng Lin at night. She is very safe."
Lu Cheng's words made everyone present feel relieved.
Madam Dong, Guan Yueru and the others opened their mouths, wanting to know about Dong Mingshan's news.
As if Lu Cheng saw through their thoughts, he took the initiative to speak, "Master Dong is also in the army, he is also safe. Now we just have to wait for the opportunity to rescue Dong Cong and Qingfeng, then we can leave together."
Lu Cheng didn't say anything more to avoid leaking military secrets.
When the time comes for everyone to leave, it’s also time for the final battle.
Looking at Lu Cheng’s back as he walked away.
All those who were worried just now smiled. They were no longer sad and waited in the carriage at ease, heading towards their destination.
…
On the vast official road, King Yongning's army advanced slowly.
Qian Chunhua sat on the shaft of the carriage, feeling the vibration of the ground as the wheels rolled. Her heart felt heavier than yesterday.
As she looked around, she saw that the land on both sides of the official road had already cracked, like wrinkles on the earth, silently telling of suffering.
The fields, which were once lush and green, have now become barren, with no harvest at all.
㱗There were countless refugees scattered on this desolate land. They were far away from the official roads and were looking at the army with fear on their faces.
Their bodies were so skinny that they looked as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
Qian Chunhua saw with her own eyes that some people suddenly fell into the dust while walking and never got up again. Those tragic scenes pierced her heart like a sharp knife.
She closed her eyes, unable to bear to see it all.
However, the scenes I just saw are like a nightmare that cannot be shaken off.
She couldn't help but think of a saying: "When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer."
These words echoed in her heart like a spell.
She was filled with emotion. No matter what the fate of the country was, it would always be these innocent people who would suffer in the end.
But at the moment, she was powerless to do anything about it. She could only hope that the prince would treat the people well after he took the position.
The army did not stop advancing until the sun set.
The cavalry were still there, and the infantry had been walking for ten hours under the scorching sun, and they were so tired that they sat down and didn't want to get up again.
Qian Chunhua was the same. After sitting in a carriage for a whole day, his back and waist were already sore.
The slow transportation in ancient times made Qian Chunhua give up her dream of traveling around the great land of Fujian.
Young people like Qian Chunhua felt uncomfortable, let alone an old man like Zhang Yuyi who was over 60 years old.
Another day was over and he didn't even want to eat dinner.
Unfortunately, the conditions of the current army are not good. Apart from steamed corn bread, there is nothing else. There is no water source on the road, and the water brought with them when they set out needs to be used sparingly.
Qian Chunhua decided to have noodles for dinner without adding some salt, as she was worried that no one would be able to bear it.
Zheng Lin and the others were also very happy thinking about the delicious noodles.
Considering that Dong Mingshan and the others were also hungry, Qian Chunhua took out ten packets of instant noodles, ten sausages, a handful of carrots, and some vegetables in a plastic bag and asked Zheng Hua to cook them all.
The aroma of instant noodles continued to waft, and Zhang Yichen smelled the fragrance.
He turned his head to look over, licked his lips which had already cracked due to dryness, then turned back and looked at his grandfather with a worried look on his face.
It’s only the first day since we set out and I don’t feel like eating or drinking anymore. What should I do in the days ahead?
