The sudden attack stunned Shen Yi for a few seconds. After he reacted, he said angrily: "Old witch, you don't have martial ethics!"
When He saw Chuyun, he took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Don't you want to have a snowball fight? Come on?" As she said this, she waved, and Shen Yi stood up and quickly rubbed out a lump of snow wrapped in dead leaves. He threw it over without saying a word.
She dodged and said provocatively: "Come on, come on!" After that, she ran away.
Seeing that he missed, Shen Yiyou quickly picked up the snowballs and then threw them one after another.
"I'm here."
"You wait!"
"Still not hit."
"you……"
"What are you doing with such a big group? You are chasing me."
"Damn! Don't move if you can!"
"..."
The distance was too far, and Shen Yi didn't know how many snowballs he threw. Anyway, only one snowball barely landed on her feet.
On the other hand, Tsurumi Chuyun was picking up snow and rubbing it at the same time, and occasionally threw one. Shen Yi wanted to hide, but due to his body structure, he really couldn't move around and rub snowballs like her, so he could only stay close to it.
Gradually, she smiled more and more happily. For her, the snowball fight became more and more fun.
"I won't play anymore."
"No, you wanted to play with me first. You can't go back on your word."
"That's not fair!"
"Why is it unfair? Who asked you to bully me?"
Snapped!
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Shen Yi couldn't remember how many times he had been hit. Seeing the old witch smiling so happily, he felt so angry that he really wanted to catch her and bully her.
But then he remembered something, moved his wings, and suddenly calmed down.
"Okay, old witch, you want to play, right? Just wait." After saying such harsh words, he immediately ran to a ditch, concentrated on rolling up the snowballs, and threw the snowballs at Tsurumi Chuyun from behind. Snowball ignored it.
Not long after, another snowball the size of a basketball was pulled out. After it was done, he grabbed some yellow mud and slapped it on it to strengthen it.
Turning back, he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun and opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
He is laughing.
It’s an evil smile!
Seeing Shen Yi's weird expression, He Jian Chuyun felt something was wrong. The next second, the smile on her face completely disappeared. Shen Yi flapped his wings and rose into the air, grabbing the freshly rubbed snow. The ball flew right towards her.
"Wait a minute! I'm not playing anymore."
"Hey, you don't want to play now? It's too late!"
"You're cheating!"
"What a shame, this is called a natural advantage!
"Master, I was wrong..."
Pa~
"Uh...bah."
"Call the master quickly!"
"Master, Chu Yun was wrong, please let me go."
"Wait for me to rub another one."
"You...I really don't want to play anymore!"
…
After a night of fun, the next morning, Shen Yi, who had just finished bathing, climbed comfortably on the blanket and looked at the man in front of him who was washing clothes in a funny way.
"Are you still playing?"
"You're so annoying!"
Seeing that Chu Yun was full of resentment, He didn't want to pay attention to Shen Yi at all.
And he threw a few Beast Preservation Pills into his mouth and couldn't help laughing as he watched her washing clothes.
"Hehehe, it's so fun."
Listening to his voice, Tsurumi Chuyun became even more angry, and he rubbed the clothes harder, and the washboard was almost smoking.
After washing the clothes, she put away the surrounding items, mounted her horse, and said to Shen Yi angrily, "Let's go."
Shen Yi didn't bother to argue with her, and immediately turned into a ball of light and penetrated from the center of her eyebrows.
She took a deep breath, said nothing, and gently pinched the horse's belly with her feet to make the horse walk on the road filled with mud and snow.
At noon, it started to snow again. The snow was not heavy, but the cold wind kept blowing, causing flakes of snow to fly on the ground.
She stopped in front of a slope and looked unsteadily at the black shadow approaching her in the distance.
"what is that?"
"have no idea."
She shook her head and frowned slightly, but she didn't stop for long and let the horse under her continue to move forward, not much faster.
As the distance between the two sides got closer, she and Shen Yi could see clearly that it was a convoy, with about four carriages in it. There were no sheds, and they were full of people. The old horses pulling the carriages were very pitiful and difficult. Walking on this snowy road, step by step.
Suddenly, someone on the carriage took out a weapon. Seeing that Chuyun didn't dare to be careless, Tsuruk also drew his sword and looked at them warily.
The atmosphere became anxious, as if the snowflakes in the sky were slowing down. The distance between the two sides was still getting closer. When they were less than five feet apart, she and Shen Yi could see more clearly.
That's right, the car was full of people. Except for a few men wearing patched cotton-padded jackets, most of the others were women and children, crowded into the small carriage and covered only with dirty quilts. Body, but how can these withstand the cold of winter?
Their heads and shoulders were covered with snow, and they were shivering from the cold. All of them were sallow and thin, and they were obviously malnourished.
The only one who seemed to be in good condition was a middle-aged man sitting in the first carriage. However, this man was carrying a knife on his back, with only the black handle exposed, and the blade was tightly wrapped in red cloth. .
At first glance, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person, but definitely a psychic.
After a quick glance, Tsurumi Chuyun probably guessed where these people came from. They were most likely refugees who escaped from the north.
Thinking of this, she took the lead in putting away her sword. When the men on the carriage saw her actions, they also put down their sickles and axes one after another.
Pairs of eyes were on her body, but more of them were looking at the fur coat with silver embroidery on her body, and then they lowered their heads and whispered.
"That big cloak looks extraordinary. It must be worth a lot of money."
"When my son was alive, I heard him say that a cloak like that would cost more than fifty bucks."
"I don't know if she is the daughter of a wealthy family."
"I'm afraid not. How could the daughter of a wealthy family ride a horse outside in such a cold weather?"
"Could it be that like Brother Li, he is also a psychic?"
"..."
The distance between the two parties further narrowed, and Tsurushi Chuyun was brewing something, but before she could say anything, the middle-aged man who was sitting in the first carriage and was called "Brother Li" shouted first: "Girl, Please stop."
"Huh?" She pulled the reins and the horse stopped. She looked at the other person and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Hongquan asked everyone to stop first, then got out of the car and came to Tsurumi Chuyun, cupping his hands and saying: "That's it, we fled from the north, and the dry food on our bodies has been exhausted. We have been hungry for several days and want to get rid of the girl." Ask for some food here."
"Eat..." She glanced at the people on the four carriages and hesitated.
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't give it, Li Hongquan hurriedly added: "Don't worry, girl, we also have some money, and we won't ask you for it in vain."
As he said that, he turned to look at everyone and shouted: "Uncle, mother, and other villagers, please take out the extra money you have. We can survive starving like this, but the children can't survive it." Cangzhou.”
Li Hongquan had a strong appeal among these people. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took action. They stood up and groped for money, and finally scraped together a hundred copper coins.
Tsurumi Chuyun was speechless. She couldn't look down on these copper coins even now, let alone when the Tsurumi mansion was still there.
It's okay to buy corn cakes, but the problem is that she doesn't like corn cakes. They are too hard and unpalatable, so she carries dried meat, white flour and other things with her as food on the road.
Ordinary people are rarely willing to spend money to buy these things. A hundred or so copper coins are not a small amount for ordinary people. They can be used to buy white flour or meat and meat, which is enough for the whole family to eat at most. With so many people on the bus, it is simply not worth it. Not enough points.
On normal days, she would not bother to pay attention to these refugees, but now she also has questions to ask them. After sighing, she said: "I have what you want to eat, but you should keep the money yourself."
This sentence made the expression on Li Hongquan's face freeze. Before he could react, a bunch of things appeared next to him.
The people in the car were stunned for a while, and soon some people reacted, got out of the car, opened it and took a look, and almost jumped up when they saw it.
"It's noodles! Uncle Lu, come and see, it's noodles!"
"And white noodles!"
"Meat...here is meat!"
"..."
The ragged people on the carriage got out of the carriage one after another. They were already exhausted from hunger when they suddenly saw the pile of food in front of them and felt as if they were daydreaming.
Li Hongquan withdrew his gaze, stared blankly at Tsurumi Chuyun, and asked in a trembling voice: "These things...you really don't want money?"
She shook her head.
"don't want."
These foods were only a small part of the total dry food she had with her. When she got to the next town, she could buy more with the money in her hand.
She doesn't need to worry about this at all, but these foods are what the people who are fleeing from the north dream about.
Looking at these almost life-saving things, Li Hongquan didn't know what to say for a moment, so he bent his knees and knelt down.
"Girl, I can't repay you for such a great kindness. Please accept Li's thanks!" After saying that, he knocked his head heavily on the snow and dug a hole. He Jian Chuyun, who was riding a horse, also There was no time to stop it.
The refugees also looked away from the food when they saw Li Hongquan's actions, and they all imitated Li Hongquan and wanted to kneel down.
"Okay, there's no need to be like this. I have something to ask you too." She turned over and dismounted, stretched out her hand to help Li Hongquan up, and shouted to stop the people behind her.
"You guys should also get up, it's just a matter of a little effort, there's no need to make such a fuss."
"Girl, you are truly a heavenly being alive, and I, Mangrove Village..."
"Okay, okay, okay, get up quickly, I'll just ask some questions." Such a scene gave Tsurumi Chuyun a headache.
Seeing her discomfort, Li Hongquan wiped the snow from his forehead and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet and get back!"
Everyone quickly quieted down, leaving only grateful eyes looking at her. Li Hongquan then turned back to Tsurumi Chuyun and said respectfully: "If you have any questions, girl, just ask them. We people will definitely answer them all, but We don’t know a lot of things, so don’t be surprised if you ask a girl if you can’t answer.”
She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "It's okay, I just want to know where this place is."
"this……"
This question is very simple, but it really stumped Li Hong. After hesitating for a while, he said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, girl, we... really don't know where this place is..."
"Uh...then where did you come from?"
"Jizhou, the boundary of Zhupoli."
"so far."
"Yes, it took us two months to walk here from Jizhou. We are not afraid of girls' jokes. There was a heavy snowstorm the day before yesterday. We lost a lot of things and many people died. The rest of us were also lost. Got here."
Tsurumi Chuyun nodded, thought for a while and then asked: "Did you pass by any villages when you came?"
"I was passing by, it seemed to be called..." Li Hongquan couldn't remember clearly what he was recalling, but he didn't need to recall it. Someone soon said after him: "The village we passed was called Tugou Village!"
"Tugou Village..." Tsurumi Chuyun repeated, took out the map and looked at it in front of everyone, and soon found the place marked Tugou Village.
Sure enough, we were already far away from Fenghe Town. If we walked to Tugou Village, our next stop would be one of the big cities in Changzhou.
Jua City.
"No, it's so far off track?" Seeing the map, Shen Yi couldn't help but say, the old witch's original route did not include Juacheng.
After passing Fenghe Town and passing through three or four towns, you can basically enter Jizhou.
But now the shortest route is via Jua City.
He was obviously flying towards the north, but Shen Yi couldn't tell the direction.
He is not a compass.
But now he understands what it means to miss by a hair and miss by a thousand miles.
"What do you think?" She replied to Shen Yi.
At this time, Li Hongquan took his eyes away from the map and asked hesitantly: "Looking at the girl's clothes, she must have an extraordinary background, right?"
"Well, that's right." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded. She had an extraordinary background, but that was before.
"Why is that girl out alone?"
"It's a long story, but actually I'm not from Daliang..." He briefly explained his "situation", including the reasons why he wanted to go to the north.
After listening, Li Hongquan once again raised his hands and blessed her from the bottom of his heart: "Then Li wishes Miss Jiang to find her elders in the family as soon as possible."
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
"However, Li kindly reminds me that there is war in Jizhou now and the people are in dire straits. There are countless refugees like us. Changzhou is fine, but there are a lot of bandits on the road. Li has many, not to mention his fist and kick skills, which can be considered as a break-in, so he can handle it. Come……"
At this point, Li Hongquan paused, and when he spoke again, his tone became a little more serious.
"But if we pass through Changzhou, there will be more than just banditry. The girl should also understand what Li means. We people have experienced nine deaths before we can escape. If it is not necessary, Li still advises the girl not to go north. "
"I know this, but I have to go." Tsurumi Chuyun also had troubles that he couldn't tell. Going north would mean a narrow escape, but if he stayed in Daliang and waited for the Chaoying Department to come to his door, it would be a narrow escape. .
If it were just as simple as being separated from her elders in the family, she could travel in the south of Daliang and wait for her elders to find her and "go home" smoothly.
"Since the girl has made up her mind, Li will say no more."
"Well, let's say goodbye." She mounted her horse and pulled the reins to say goodbye.
Li Hongquan nodded, raised his hand and said, "Girl, be careful on the road."
"The same to you."
He saw that Chuyun didn't stay long, Jueying stepped forward and walked forward, but before going far, Li Hongquan, who remembered something, shouted again: "Girl, I forgot to mention, Li's full name is Li Hongquan. If we meet again by chance, Li will do his best to repay the kindness of today's spring!"
