[Chapter 2054 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (9)]
Yan Wushuang and Xu Bo walked for a long time, but couldn’t move anymore. It’s not that he has no stamina, but that he is too hungry to walk.
Uncle Xu walked over to help him up, and said, “If you persist, you will find something to eat when you find someone in front.”
Yan Wushuang said with some doubts: “Nowadays, it’s too little to eat by myself, how can I give alms to beggars to eat.” Fortunately, it is now August, not winter. Otherwise, they would have to freeze to death outside without being chased and killed.
“I didn’t say go begging.” He asked Yan Wushuang to pretend to be a beggar in order to get out of the capital smoothly, not to let him go all the way to Spring City as a beggar. Besides, in this world, how can a beggar really live.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Uncle Xu, lowered his head and said, “But we don’t have any money.”
Xu Bo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t starve you.”
Yan Wushuang saw Uncle Xu from head to toe and asked, “I tell you, I won’t eat what I stole.” What is the difference between stealing and robbing. To do this, it really failed the teachings of his parents for many years.
Uncle Xu tapped the bamboo cane in his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I have money.”
Yan Wushuang wasn’t stupid either, he immediately understood: “You put money in the crutches.” He thought that the crutches were a prop, which made people believe that he was old and eighty.
“Let’s go! Go ahead and buy food.” They have martial arts skills and only need to buy food for two days. Go a little farther and change your attire, and you can go hunting in the mountains to fill your stomach.
After walking for half an hour, I saw another village. When he heard that it was this village, Yan Wushuang followed Xu Bo and quickened his pace.
At the entrance of the village, the two were stopped. A burly man pointed at Yan Wushuang with a big knife and said, “If you dare to go forward, I will be very welcome.”
Behind this big man, there are more than ten young people. These young men have weapons in their hands. It was also seen that they were old and young, but they did not raise their weapons to face them.
Uncle Xu grabbed Yan Wushuang and pulled him behind him, then bowed and said, “This good man, our package was robbed when we left the city, and we didn’t have a bite to eat. I also ask you to be kind and sell us some food.”
Hearing that it was selling instead of giving, the leading man did not chase them away, but stared at Uncle Xu.
After speaking, Uncle Xu handed over a dark circle: “This is a gold bracelet. You can see what it looks like after washing it with water.” superior. Also because it was as black as his feet and covered by his trousers, the soldiers guarding the city didn’t find it.
There was some gold in the bamboo cane, but there were many people on the road. If you want to get gold from the crutches, if you fall into the eyes, you will be robbed.
After the man in the lead picked it up, he really ran to the ditch next to him to wash it. After washing, the bracelet showed its golden side.
The man took a bite, and after confirming that it was real gold, he said to Xu Bo, “Wait a moment.” People in their village have the habit of storing food, but I heard that the Donghu people are going to call them and they are going to run into the mountains. But into the mountains, you can’t bring so much food. So, they also sell some to passersby.
After a while, the man came back. A big gold bracelet, exchanged for a bag of grain and six flatbreads.
After getting the food, the two sat down and ate. After two bites, Yan Wushuang choked. Uncle Xu said to the man in the lead, “Can you give us some water?”
The man threw the water bag around his waist: “This water bag is for you.”
After the two finished eating, Yan Wushuang carried the food and helped Uncle Xu to leave.
A young man in the village asked, “Xiong Da, why did you give him a water bag?” Although he knew that Xiong Da was not short of a water bag, this guy was not a kind person.
“Let’s have a good relationship!” Although this grandson and grandson dressed up as a beggar, but Xiong Da traveled all over the world and never saw anyone. Obviously, this grandson is not an ordinary person. As for who it was, he had no intention of pursuing it. Anyway, he doesn’t need to offend the two of them.
After leaving the entrance of the village, Yan Wushuang asked, “Why do you have to come to this village to exchange food.” They passed by several villages before, but they didn’t stop.
Xu Bo said: “This village is called Xiongjia Village. The villagers here are very united, and both men and women are fierce. People in the vicinity never dare to provoke them. However, they will not take the initiative to provoke others. Xiao Hei, like this It’s easy to deal with people.”
Yan Wushuang seemed to understand but not understand.
Uncle Xu didn’t explain too much, just said, “You will understand later.”
The sun is very big, and the sun is uncomfortable. After walking for a while, the two had to rest.
The two were sitting under a big tree at a corner to rest, and suddenly heard a woman’s scream: “Help, help…”
Yan Wushuang stood up and ran to save people. As a result, he was dragged back by Xu Bo.
Because he was unprepared, Yan Wushuang sat on the ground: “What are you doing?”
Xu Bo said: “If you don’t want to die, just sit here obediently and don’t mind your own business.”
“I can’t ignore…”
Xu Bo stared at him and said, “Tong Chunlin will definitely send people to hunt you down along the road. If you save someone, you will expose yourself. At that time, both of us will have to die.” But Yan Wushuang couldn’t die, and if he died, the ordinary chance of the Yan family would be gone.
Yan Wushuang clenched his fists.
After a long time, a group of people passed by them. Most of the group were men in their forties, with a small number of women and children. These women walked with their heads hunched over.
The leading man glanced at Xu Bo and Yan Wushuang, and saw that they were in ragged clothes and lost interest.
After the group of people left, Yan Wushuang hurriedly walked towards the direction he had just called for help. Peeling through the grass, I saw a young woman lying naked and wounded on the grass.
The woman was still angry at this time, and saw that Yan Wu’s eyes slid down into tears.
Xu Bola stopped Yan Wushuang, approached the woman and said, “We can’t save you, but we can give you a ride, so that you will suffer less.” If you leave it alone, the woman will die.
The woman nodded slightly.
Yan Wushuang looked at the woman’s body and said softly, “Let’s dig a hole and bury her!”
Uncle Xu glanced at him and asked, “What do you use to dig?” They didn’t have any tools, and they had to use both hands to dig a hole. Not to mention that the injury is very serious, digging a hole will also delay time.
After breaking some branches to cover the woman’s body, the two continued to walk forward.
Seeing that Yan Wushuang was in a low mood, Uncle Xu said, “In the process of escaping, women and children have no choice but to die if they don’t have their families to protect them. Xiao Hei, this kind of thing is just the beginning, you have to get used to it in the future.” There will be more cruel things than now.
Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and asked, “Why?”
“As the old saying goes, it’s better to be a peace dog than a person in a troubled world. People in troubled times are like grass.” After speaking, Uncle Xu stared at Yan Wushuang and said, “If you can’t protect yourself now, don’t think about saving people, or you will die. It’s just death in vain. And if you die, no one will wash away the grievances for the marshal, and the Yan family will be broken.”
Yan Wushuang was silent for a while, then changed the subject: “Should we just walk to Spring City like this?”
“What? I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk.”
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, “It’s not that I’m afraid. It’s just that people are fleeing in the direction of the capital, but we are in the direction of Tongcheng. It’s easy to be suspicious of us.”
Xu Bo said with relief: “Don’t worry for the time being, we’ll see the situation in Tieling first, and then decide whether to go to Spring City.” First, we have to determine where the Donghu people are, if they call. There are deep mountains in Tieling, and at that time he took Yan Wushuang to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. Of course, this is the last resort.
It was getting dark, and the two found a place to rest. Yan Wushuang untied the grain sack and saw that it contained sorghum and millet. But they don’t have a pot, so they can’t eat these grains raw!
Xu Bo said: “You eat bread, I eat sorghum.” Some eats are good, and there is no capital to pick and choose when fleeing for life. Pick again, and starve to death.
With two cakes left, Yan Wushuang handed one to Xu Bo and said, “Let’s eat together!” He ate the cake and let Xu Bosheng eat food, how could he eat it.
Although the biscuits are dry, you can swallow them with a bite of the biscuits and a sip of water. But this sorghum and millet are so separated from the throat that they cannot be swallowed at all. After taking two bites, Yan Wushuang couldn’t take it anymore.
Xu Bo handed the cake in his hand to Yan Wushuang, and said, “Don’t be stubborn, you will have the strength to drive tomorrow when you are full.”
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, “I can eat it.” Even if he ate dirt, he continued to eat. He ate until he was seventy percent full, and Xu Bo refused to let him eat before giving up.
On the second day, Yan Wushuang was sleeping soundly, when he was woken up by Uncle Xu: “I’m going to the mountains to find some food, you take care of yourself.” Yan Wushuang has martial arts himself. beast. So, don’t be afraid to walk away for a while.
“I’ll go with you!”
Uncle Xu shook his head and said, “If you go, it’s just a burden.” Yan Wushuang had never been up the mountain, nor had he hunted, so following him would only be a waste of his time.
Yan Wushuang had to wait on the spot honestly.
After more than half an hour, Uncle Xu came back. As soon as the person approached, Yan Wushuang smelled the aroma of meat.
Handing most of the rabbit to Yan Wushuang, Uncle Xu said, “Hurry up and eat it.” There is food everywhere in the mountains, and as long as you have the ability, you will not starve to death.
Yan Wushuang was reluctant to eat them all, so he wrapped the rest after eating half.
After eating, Uncle Xu did not take Yan Wushuang on the road, but said to him, “I will teach you a few tricks. You can use these tricks if you encounter anything. The martial arts you learned before can’t be used for the time being.”
Xu Bo taught all the ultimate moves, and they were all one-shot kills: “Once you make a move, don’t be soft-hearted, you must take the opponent’s life. Show mercy, and you will die.”
Yan Wushuang is very talented in martial arts and knows almost nothing. So Xu Bo taught it very easily.
