"The rations for us people are fixed, but the current situation is special. Saving even a little bit won't help you."
Li Laosan quickly made a decision and everyone set off on the road again.
Shen Xiao hesitated several times, but finally sighed.
"Brother, is there any problem with this road?" Shen Qingqian saw it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The original owner grew up in a boudoir and didn't know much about the outside world.
Shen Xiao looked around, lowered his head and said to her: "Look at this direction, and the five miles away that the man said. He probably wants to go from Qishan to Chenzhou, and then from Chenzhou to Northern Hubei."
Shen Xiao has been with Mr. Shen since he was a child. He has read many books and knows something about many places in Jin Dynasty.
Shen Qingqian didn't quite understand and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this faster?"
Originally, as punishment, the prisoners were supposed to go from Linzhou to Jinzhou, then pass through Jiangzhou and Baizhou, and finally cross the river from Baizhou to Northern Hubei. The journey was very long and it would take at least more than three months to get there.
But if you go from Chenzhou to Northern Hubei, it's basically a straight line, and the distance is reduced by more than half.
"You don't understand," Shen Xiao shook his head, "not to mention that the mountain road is difficult to travel, but that the other side of Qishan Mountain is the territory of the Jun tribe. In the past few years, hunters in the mountains were often captured by the Jun tribe..."
When he said this, Shen Qingqian understood.
The ferocity and tyranny of the Jun people are well known. The founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty spent a lot of effort to drive the Jun people to the north of Qishan Mountain, and sent heavy troops to guard Chenzhou for a hundred years. In addition, the Jun people's population Withered, he gradually gave up the idea of being an enemy of the Jin Dynasty.
It's just that the bad nature of the nation cannot withstand the test. Although the Jun people have no plans to fight against the Jin Dynasty, they are short of people. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, they will snatch people from Qishan or Chenzhou.
"...Now we can only pray that we don't run into people from the Jun tribe." After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he sighed again.
Shen Qingqian is also a little worried, but she is only a twelve-year-old girl now and has no right to speak at all, so she can only be vigilant secretly.
"But Sixth Sister, that medicine really works. Look, my wrists and neck have become swollen and scabbed." Seeing her solemn face, Shen Xiao quickly changed the subject.
Shen Qingqian took a look, and sure enough, Shen Xiao's wrist, which was swollen like a steamed bun, was almost back to normal.
"Great!" The medicine given by the system was indeed good, and it had only been applied for a short time.
She smiled lightly, and two small pear dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, cute and well-behaved. When Shen Xiao saw it, he felt that his fatigue was relieved a lot, so he took Brother Qin from Wu's hand and continued on his way.
The group of people hurried on, not caring about fatigue or hunger, and arrived at the foot of Qishan Mountain in less than half an hour.
But he couldn't relax now. Li Laosan looked at the vast mountains, gritted his teeth and let Jiang Goudan lead everyone up the mountain.
Shen Qingqian looked at the endless mountains in front of her, and she really wanted to cry without tears.
She has never walked such a long distance, and now that she has short calves, she still has to hold Shen Zhe, making it even more difficult to keep up with the others.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate, but everyone has a belief in their hearts that they cannot be found by King Zhao!
King Zhao dared to rebel, and he also fought from Zhaozhou to Linzhou, which already illustrates the problem. If ordinary people are encountered, they will at most be taken to the army to work as coolies, but these people are important officials of the imperial court, even if they have already He was exiled, and no one could tell what would happen if he was caught.
Because Shen Xiao and the others took the medicine given by Shen Qingqian, their injuries were greatly reduced. In addition, without the shackles around their necks, they moved more easily. The heavy luggage and several children basically circled around the four of them.
Even so, Shen Qingqian was very tired.
The sky was getting darker, and just when Shen Qingqian felt that she could no longer hold on, Li Laosan finally spoke and found an open space for everyone to rest.
However, as soon as the torches in their hands were lit, there were bursts of strange Jie Jie screams from deep in the forest...
