Shen Wen asked Su Wanniang to sit on the old donkey, and Su Wanniang looked at the old donkey worried: "Can it pull people? It looks like she's going to die."

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily, "Hurry up and ride for two days while you are still breathing, otherwise there will be no more."

Shen Wen helped Su Wanniang with a face towel on the donkey, and several people went on the road.

The old donkey walked extremely slowly, slower than they walked. They walked for a whole day, from early morning to dark, and according to Shen Wen's estimation, they also traveled twenty miles. The next day was not much better. After a few days of walking, they left the coastal area. There were refugees on the road. Many people walked against them and went to the beach. The information in this world is underdeveloped. People don't know where to go during the famine. If they don't visit relatives and friends, they can only rely on word of mouth to go to their lives. They would often be stopped by people along the way and asked, "Where are you going to the east, and I didn't eat it!" Zhang Yunzheng always had to say, "Fortunately, we have some food by the sea. We only come here when we go home, otherwise we will stay. Over there..." People immediately felt hope and walked east.

Going inland, more and more people flee from famine. Although Zhang Yunzheng's clothes were shabby, the donkeys were half-dead, and they were not eye-catching among the refugees, but Shen Wen had always been cautious and decided not to go in broad daylight. Now at the turn of spring and summer, the dawn is early, and they are on the road in the early morning, and when the day is dawn, there are too many people, they find a place to rest, wait until the evening, and then walk into the night.

Zhang Yunzheng has enough silver tickets to buy food and water, but he can also buy it when he is on the coast. When he enters the inland, sometimes he has money and there is no place to buy food and water. So every time Zhang Yunzheng can buy it, Zhang Yunzheng buys more, which makes everyone burdened. Su Wanniang stopped riding a donkey and let the donkey carry the weight. Even Shen Wen carried more than 20 kilograms of things, and the shoulders of the four princes were covered. The strap is swollen.

They set off in the middle of the night that day, but found that the road ahead was full of people. The timid and fearful Shen Wen naturally stopped immediately and signaled Zhang Yunzheng to leave the road and walk up to a small hill next to it, wanting to see what happened.

When they arrived on the small slope, they saw a crowd of people in the distance, who should be ten or twenty thousand, crowded in front of a city. Zhang Yunzheng said, "I'll take a look."

Shen Wen hurriedly stopped: "What are you! More is worse than less, we..." She looked around, sighed and said, "You can't go around. This area is hilly. If you leave this road, it will be much more It’s tens of miles or even hundreds of miles away."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Let me ask what happened."

Shen Wen said: "Let Yulan go! He can inquire about the news."

Magnolia looked at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng nodded, Magnolia put down the package on her back, and Shen Wen exhorted: "Go back quickly, just ask questions, don't make trouble."

Magnolia smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm like a mouse, so I won't cause trouble." He walked away quickly.

The other people sat on the floor because they had only left for more than an hour and were not hungry. They only drank a few sips of water.

Zhang Yunzheng pulled Shen Wen aside and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared again?"

Shen Wen said with a flat mouth: "I don't want to distract. There are so many people over there, and they are all refugees. I don't think it is a good thing."

Zhang Yunzheng smiled: "So you don't want me to pass"

Shen Wen opened his face and said, "You have to protect us here!" Now they don't have strong crossbows and no hordes of guards. Only Zhang Yunzheng can do it. Shen Wen doesn't want Zhang Yunzheng to leave.

Zhang Yunzheng proudly raised his chin: "You know how good I am!" He folded his arms and looked forward, looking very tall.

Shen Wen chuckled, and Su Wanniang and the Fourth Prince over there also took the opportunity to wink.

Soon, Magnolia ran back panting and said to them: "This is a gathering of people for several days. The city gates are closed and the refugees are not allowed to enter, saying that it is because the refugees went in to rob and steal. But this is a radius of a hundred miles. There are no other decent towns. There is still some food in this city, so the refugees blocked the city gate and wanted to go in."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned, but said nothing.

Shen Wen sighed: "It seems that we really have to take a detour. We can't get through this situation for three or two days..."

She didn't finish her words, there was a hustle and bustle ahead, and a group of people came from far away on the road, with the flash of weapons in the dust. Shen Wen looked very hard and said, "Oh, it's a soldier, we have to avoid it!"

Zhang Yunzheng looked at the front and said, "Didn't you say that the soldiers in the inland government have no resistance"

Shen Wen said: "That is for the Beirong cavalry! It must be powerful for the refugees."

As we spoke, the team of soldiers was near. There should be two hundred men, armed with swords, guns and clubs. The refugees began to commotion, and there was movement in the city. Shen Wen didn't want to look any more, pointing in one direction and said: "Let's go quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble as soon as the refugees disperse."

Although Zhang Yunzheng didn't want to go far, he always listened to Shen Wen's, so he pulled the donkey down the hill and circled far away. They didn't go far, there was already a shout over there. Zhang Yunzheng looked back, and the group of refugees really collapsed. People helped the old and the young and ran away, crying loudly.

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Whose idea is that if you don't open the city gate, is this murder?"

Magnolia gasped and said: "It is said that it is the meaning of the people in the city. There are too many refugees around them. They are afraid of living and people. I heard that some towns were looted by the refugees and many people died..."

A few people stopped talking and just walked silently. There were noisy voices behind, and some people ran in their direction as the officers and soldiers drove them away. Zhang Yunzheng frequently pulled the donkey, but the donkey couldn't walk fast.

Someone behind shouted: "Those people have donkeys!" "Quick! Chase them!..."

Zhang Yunzheng turned his head: "They are chasing us! No fight"

Shen Wen also turned his head, saw hundreds of people, shook his head and said, "You can't fight! They are all desperate people, and you can't provoke them!"

Su Wanniang said: "Leave... donkey... to... them... I can go..."

Those people approached, and Shen Wen knew that this must be done, nodded and said, "Then let's unload things quickly!"

The five people hurriedly unwrapped the donkey and carried them, let go of the donkey, Shen Wen held Su Wanniang, Zhang Yunzheng and Magnolia took the four princes and ran. Those people caught the donkey and started to rob them, so they stopped chasing them.

They ran for half an hour and completely left the dangerous place. When they arrived in a hilly area, a few people who were exhausted sat down. The sun was heading, and there was withered grass all around.

Zhang Yunzheng sighed: "We don't know how many wronged roads we have to walk around like this."

Shen Wen took a sip of water and said, "We won't go around far, just wait here. The refugees have been dispersed, we will walk back. Anyway, we won't enter the city. We should be fine if we walk on the road."

Several other people thought about it and thought they could give it a try, so they ate some dry food and took a nap in the wild.

When they got up, the sun was slanting west, and scattered withered grass was golden.

The fourth prince said to himself: "The drought is terrible."

Shen Wen snorted: "Floods are not terrible. The Yellow River will be diverted in many places and flooded for thousands of miles. Other major rivers have burst dykes. Many villages and towns have been washed away, and the people will not be able to run away."

The fourth prince frowned: "If this is the case, how should you be warned..."

Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "Who will listen to how to warn"

Su Wanniang sighed: "Who would dare to behead beheaded if you say so."

The four princes also understood this truth, and the dynasty was extremely taboo against predictions such as the easy calculation of astronomical phenomena! The reason is that if the prediction is not true at all, it is useless to prepare, and if the prediction comes true, it will be even more troublesome! The prophet became the uncrowned king with all his words! Then I have to know what the emperor does. Can there be people who are more forward-looking than the emperor. If one day the prophet says something against the emperor, what can the people do if they respond! Therefore, if someone says that he can predict a prophet, the government will immediately confuse the crowd with deceitful remarks and torturing their unpredictable heart. ... If someone now says that there will be floods in the year, they will indeed be decapitated. …At the time when the three princes proposed to store grain, they did not dare to say that they knew what prophecies he knew, but only thought from a cautious perspective. However, as the prince, he made a suggestion and was not adopted either...

The four princes were entangled, and Shen Wen looked at the four princes: "The imperial tomb where you are located will have a flash flood in August next year, which destroyed the river embankment and destroyed a quarter of the tomb. The soldiers and civilians were killed and injured. Unknown omen, my court is about to die. The emperor was furious, and the general guarding the tomb was beheaded. You can go and warn."

The four princes were worried: He could imagine the difficulties, and immediately felt heavy in his heart, and he had a great burden.

In the twilight, they carried heavy packages and started walking, and everyone was not in high spirits. Zhang Yunzheng was exploring the road ahead and walking cautiously in the direction of the road. Along the way, we can often see refugees lying on the side of the road. Some are dying and some are injured. With the previous experience, they evasive and dare not approach, talk about how to save people

Back on the main road again, there were indeed few refugees, but there were more people killed and injured on the side of the road. As the night darkened, the officers and soldiers entered the city. A torch was lit on the city gate. They walked along the road, and when they approached the city gate, a few arrows shot over. Although it was still far away, Zhang Yunzheng was still busy leading them to stagger down the road. There was laughter from the city, and someone shouted: "Don't come near! "

Several people avoided the city wall, worried about the refugees around them, and hurriedly passed by the edge of the city before they went on the road again. They walked for a few more days before they understood why the refugees had surrounded the city: the surrounding area was mostly hilly areas and there were not many villages. The fields are barren, and although there are still undried rivers in some places, there is nowhere to find food. The fleeing people had no place to beg for food, so naturally they all went to that town. But in that town, where can the people of the Quartet be saved...

The fourth prince sighed as he walked. They used to carry heavy food and water on their backs, but after these days, they have become lighter and lighter, which makes them unhappy and worried. Zhang Yunzheng heard the sigh of the four princes, thinking he was tired, and said: "We really can't stop, we must hurry to the next city, otherwise we will have no food."

The fourth prince said hurriedly: "I didn't want to stop, I just remembered what happened that day, and I can't blame the people in the city."

Zhang Yunzheng has always been provocative, but this time even he couldn't scold others. He just nodded and said: "We are all protecting our own food, and we can't save it if we die. How can we blame others"

Shen Wen turned around and said, "After we have enough food and clothing, we can talk about helping others."

The four princes asked: "So how can the Buddhists say that they sacrifice their lives to feed the tiger?"

Shen Wen said: "Then there must be love."

Zhang Yunzheng muttered: "If you can do it to your family, it will be difficult for outsiders."

The fourth prince was frustrated: "Some family members have trouble."

Zhang Yunzheng was very sorry for the fourth prince: "You are really unlucky. If a person doesn't even have a home, where can I take a breath?"

The fourth prince almost choked up, smiled bitterly and said, "There is really no place..."

Zhang Yunzheng patted the four princes on the shoulder and said, "It's okay! There will be no now or not in the future!"

The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang's back and nodded and said, "Yes, in the future, I will have a home."

Zhang Yunzheng felt that he was already winning, and agreed: "That's right! Home is all right, good people have good homes! This is a must!"

Shen Wen pinched Su Wanniang's arm, Su Wanniang also pinched Shen Wen...

Magnolia suddenly said, "Look, there are meteors!"

It turned out that he was listening to his family's stunned speech, so he couldn't help but look up at the sky, just seeing the meteor in the sky. Everyone looked up, and when they saw it, they stopped. I saw the sky full of stars, wisps of meteors passing by, emerging in endlessly, like silver light rain, flickering and appearing, with unspeakable mystery, and the afterglow would completely disappear after a few seconds.

None of these people have seen such a beautiful celestial phenomenon, and they stayed for a while. After a long time, the meteor shower passed, and a few people breathed again.

Su Wanniang whispered to Shen Wen: "It's so beautiful, this is the most beautiful night sky I have ever seen in my life."

Shen Wen also nodded: "I can see it everywhere in the city, all sleeping in the house at this time."

Although the four princes did not make a sound, they felt that this was the most beautiful he had seen. In the vast starry sky, the Milky Way was as bright as a cage of smoke, and that brilliant meteor shower, even for a moment, was worth his journey.

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Oh, I heard people say that there are many immortals who have come to reincarnate in the world."

Shen Wen smiled and said: "Some people say that this is the fall of many important people."

Zhang Yunzheng's heart sank, and he said unhappily, "It's not!"

Shen Wen thought, yes, he shouldn’t be so negative. His father is the number one military commander in the Korean Central Committee. He is called the “General Star” in this world. How could he curse his family and just say: “Okay, you say That's right."

When he was resting, the fourth prince found an opportunity to whisper to Su Wanniang: "Did you see it? The two of them didn't even quarrel."

Su Wanniang glanced at the four princes, "That's a good thing, our young lady has a good temper. Although Zhang Xiaoge is anxious, but the people are good, they are actually very good." There is a vague saying that Shen Wen is embarrassed, but four The prince would naturally not point it out. What he was thinking now was that if Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng were really of the same mind, it would be terrible: Don’t say that there are soldiers in the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei and Ping Yuan Hou Mansion is rich, Shen Wen’s plan is amazing. Zhang Yunzheng dared to act, if these two people stumble and become uncoordinated, if they are in harmony, is there anyone in this world who can beat them?

The emperor's prince is already in a place of defeat. One of them is his father and the other is his eldest brother. They are all blood family members, but he has no sense of closeness. Instead, he feels that he is closer to the "outsiders" around him. This is really true. Disloyal and unfilial! Fortunately, the third prince was also his elder brother, and he supported him in the upper ranks. He did not betray his ancestors, and his conscience is more or less justifiable...

Naturally, the four princes' secret thoughts were not seen by anyone, and he would not be so stupid to tell Shen Wen, Zhang Yunzheng, or even Su Wanniang, of his own guilt. He knew that if they suspected that he had any attempt to inform the emperor prince, he would be in danger. But they trusted him, did it mean that he couldn't get close to the emperor and prince at all. The death of the mother concubine gave him a gap with the father and the emperor, and the prince's intolerance prevented him from taking refuge. He is actually a refugee, and he doesn’t even have a home of his own. Apart from following them, what other path does he have?

The four princes felt that they had become a dog of the mourning family, so they could only follow Zhang Yunzheng, Shen Wen and the others in a down-to-earth manner. After the incident, they married Su Wanniang and went to sea with Shen Wen and the others to establish their real home.

Their food is running out, and Zhang Yunzheng becomes worried. Sometimes he and Yulan went to the villages and small towns passing by to buy some grain at a high price, but as he got closer to the disaster area, the less grain he could buy. Later, they could only eat a bowl of porridge and a few cakes every day, and several of them became yellow and thin, and looked exactly like the refugees on the road.

Zhang Yunzheng said to the four princes: "The last time we went to Yan's Academy, the surrounding area was okay. From there to the inland, it was the disaster area. It has only been less than a year, and we walked from the sea to the other side, and we were also in disaster! The disaster area has expanded, and it can be seen that the prefect who has been replaced is a dog official!"

The fourth prince sighed exhaustedly: "It's not a dog official, how can there be no food in the official warehouse now."

Shen Wen frowned and regretted, she agreed to go first, also because the location of Yan's Academy was not the hardest-hit area, and now they can't find food, so they are going to starve to death on the road

Shen Wen said: "We have to find Mrs. Pingyuan Hou's business point as soon as possible."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "My mind is in a mess now, I can't remember anything."

The fourth prince said: "I heard from shopkeeper Zhou that all the business points that could not be done inland have been withdrawn."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Most of those are my...maternal grandfather's sites, my...madam, if they are big, they won't be withdrawn easily." How could Pingyuanhou's letter card be withdrawn casually.

Shen Wen looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and said: "Then let's find a place to rest, think about it."

They walked to the dry woods on the side of the road, before they were ready to sit down, and found that a thin young man was already sitting next to a big tree.

A few people wanted to change places again, but seeing that the young man closed his eyes, his face was withered, and there were no other people around, they left him and sat a bit further. Zhang Yunzheng looked at the man vigilantly, and later saw that he was motionless, and he was relieved.

They rested for a while, and when they were about to set off, passing by the person, they could see that the person was dying. Along the way, they have seen too many dead and dying people, and they have become numb. They had long understood that they couldn't be saved, and they didn’t have much food, so they were ready to leave. Under the noon sun, in the fourth prince’s afterglow, he could not help seeing something shining between the fingers of the man’s abdomen. Turning his head to look, he found a white flag under the man's slightly curled fingers.

The fourth prince stopped, turned and walked towards the young man, Zhang Yunzheng followed him: "Be careful what you want to do!"

The fourth prince nodded, but still walked to the person. The young man was no more than twenty, his face was so thin that only bones were left. The fourth prince touched his shoulder, the man did not open his eyes, and muttered something. Zhang Yunzheng didn't see it, but the fourth prince distinguished from the faint pronunciation and lip shape that the person was saying "...the good and the loser are not chaotic..."

This is the phrase in the famous "The Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", from its "combat chapter": those who are good at winning do not fight, those who are good at battle do not fight, those who are good at war are not defeated, and those who are good at losing are not chaotic... Mind and tolerance.

"The Thirteen Pieces of the Book of Chess" is a classic game in the game. Later generations commented that it was full of "wonderful insights and insights", because it said not only chess, but also many principles of governing the country and behaving in the world. These are the four princes. A very favorite book.

This person is now quoting this sentence to warn himself that even though he is defeated, he can't be disrupted. If death is defeat, then he can at least do it safely...

The fourth prince knelt down and helped the man up, took the water hyacinth from his waist, and gave the man a few sips of water. The young man slowly opened his eyes, and the fourth prince took out a few pieces of bread from his arms and put them beside the young man.

Zhang Yunzheng said: "You can't save him with a bite of dry food."

The fourth prince said: "Then let's leave him a few catties of grain."

Zhang Yunzheng was surprised: "How much food do you think we have, we have a total of ten kilograms left."

The young man struggled and said, "No...no more, heaven...someone plays chess with me...very good...I can go..."

The fourth prince remembered the Qionglou Yuyu he had seen, and said, "Since I can see heaven and play chess with immortals, he is a spiritual person. Stay in the world and do something." He turned his head and said to Zhang Yunzheng, " Give him half of my ration."

Shen Wen and Su Wanniang also leaned over. When the Fourth Prince said so, Su Wanniang said, "Give it to me, I don't eat much."

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone eats evenly for yours and mines..." Even so, it can be seen that Shen Wen did not object, and Zhang Yunzheng gave the young man a small packet of hard bread, fearing that he would have no water. He took a water hyacinth and took out a few silver tickets and stuffed them into his arms.

When they got up on their way, Zhang Yunzheng asked the four princes: "Are you hungry and confused, I don't think your mind is so clear."

The fourth prince sighed: "I don't know what's wrong, it's okay to die suddenly, don't be so afraid."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Is this just sacrificing oneself to feed the tiger, you don't love him either..."

Shen Wen and Su Wanniang, who were originally emotionally worried, both laughed, and the four princes felt distressed: He was probably tired of everyone because of such a person. He brought a thread and said sorry: "Yes, he said a chess classic at the time, which is also my favorite book. ..."

Zhang Yunzheng squinted at the four princes, "You are indeed hungry and stupid!"

Several people were having fun, and laughed a few times.

After that, it's even more difficult for them. Everyone can only eat one bite of cake and one meal of gruel per day. Fortunately, after a few days of walking, there were more villages around, and Zhang Yunzheng bought a little grain at a high price to allow them to continue their journey.

Gradually, the town was separated by threes and fives. Shen Wen said that they entered the very affluent area before the disaster. They should not die from starvation. The mood of the few people recovered and they started talking and laughing again. After this period of time, Su Wanniang was used to walking around. The weather is coming into summer, and the climate is warmer. They walked under the starry sky at sunrise and sunset. Although they were always short of food, they didn't feel that it was so bitter.

Finally, they walked outside a large city, and saw from a distance there was a porridge shack beside the city gate. They were really excited.

When they got closer, they were even more excited when they saw the word "Li" on the porridge shed: If this was Li's charity, they would be overwhelmed.

As soon as she felt relaxed, Su Wanniang felt her legs become weak, and she sat on the ground, and Shen Wen sat down with her. The fourth prince also sat down, Zhang Yunzheng looked at the three people on the ground and said helplessly: "Just rest a while!"

Magnolia squatted down and suggested: "Let’s take a sip of the porridge before entering the city. I’m hungry! I’m weak. Besides, what if this is not my wife’s business?"

However, Zhang Yunzheng felt that it was a hindrance, and shook his head and said, "No! How can I eat porridge on credit! I can't hold my head up in my life, let's go to the city to buy it."

Magnolia read Yanger: "My son! Can't I eat it?"

All of them felt that they were drooling, and Zhang Yunzheng glared at Magnolia: "You don't give me a face!"

Magnolia was not afraid at all, and said: "You rest, I'll go in line..."

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "No!"

A vagrant man walking by heard their argument and turned around and said, "That porridge is for old, young, and sick people. You guys and young men are going to meet the guys from the Li family in front. The Li family has odd jobs to do, one day. Come down and take care of the rice. Don't arrange it, and they won't give you porridge when they arrive!

Magnolia lost her spiritual support and fell to the ground suddenly: "I have to rest too!"

Zhang Yunzheng scolded: "You said you were going to line up just now, get out..."

Maybe you saw Zhang Yunzheng with a dusty face but a long sword wrapped in rags on his back. A group of refugees sitting not far away came by. He was also a muddy face, unable to see his face, showing yellow teeth and arching against the three people. After he started, Zhang Yunzheng was too lazy to care about people, and Yulan pretended not to see it. Only the four princes nodded because of a natural good temper. The man whispered: "Brothers are on the rivers and lakes."

Zhang Yunzheng just finished scolding Yulan, and said in a bad tone: "Can you control it?"

The man chuckled, "Looks like my brother is angry"

Zhang Yunzheng did not speak again, the man whispered: "The Li family is not authentic, they have to work for them to drink a bowl of porridge, dig ditches and prepare the ground, don't this bury the people! Men are on the rivers and lakes, how can this Humiliated by them"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned and looked at him: "What do you want to say"

The man went on to say: "I have a wealthy business, do you want to do it, brother?"

Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to speak impatiently, the fourth prince interrupted hurriedly: "Listen to what I said?"

The man lowered his voice and said, "This Lijiashe porridge has been around for more than three years. Although it is only given to women, children, old and young, hundreds of people come every day. You say this business is so rich, it's not as good as... He looked at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng's eyes flashed, the fourth prince stood up, pressed Zhang Yunzheng's arm, and asked: "What is better?"

The man came over and said, "We asked, this business used to be silk and satin, and made a lot of money! It has been down in recent years, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so it's better to get into their shop at night. Robbed their silver..."

As soon as Zhang Yunzheng raised his arm, the fourth prince held him busy again, and continued to smile and said, "Since the business is not good, there must be no money."

The man whispered: "They give up porridge like this. They must have a granary. We will torture them and we will be able to ask where they are. In these years, if we have food, we will have all the gold and silver treasures... …"

The fourth prince interrupted: "Have you eaten Li's porridge?"

The man was taken aback, blinked his eyes and said, "I have eaten it."

The fourth prince asked: "How many times have I eaten"

The man waved his hand and said, "Several times, but every time I have to help with work, it's disgusting! So I know where they live, go west into the city, and I will lead the way at night."

The fourth prince nodded, and then asked: "Are you there anyone else?"

The man waved to the refugee group: "We have found five or six people. This elder brother has a sword, and he will definitely be able to help a lot. When it's done, we get a score of four or six..."

The fourth prince put down his hand and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Forty or six points, what do you think?"

Zhang Yunzheng also understood the meaning of the four princes, and snorted: "I don't think it is good! You call all your people, let me see what it looks like, is it worth giving you anything."

The man hurriedly said, "We also have a few hands. You wait, I will let them come." He finished speaking and left.

Zhang Yunzheng unloaded the long sword from his back and held it in his hand. Yulan got up from the ground and held the hilt of the short sword in his waist. The four princes, who had always been gentle, looked around, reached out and picked up a stone, as if they were facing an enemy.

Shen Wen and Su Wanniang stood up and walked away a bit. Su Wanniang asked in a low voice, "Does it matter?"

Shen Wen said helplessly to Su Wanniang: "He likes to fight. Does it matter what is the difference?"

Su Wanniang smiled and pushed Shen Wen down and said, "You are really used to him!"

Shen Wen whispered to Su Wanniang's ear: "At least I don't have..."

Su Wanniang immediately stopped Shen Wen: "Stop talking! Someone is coming over there."

When those people came over, Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes. These six or seven people are all looking poor, all with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, so thin that their faces are covered with leather, their backs are squatting, and they are dressed in tattered clothes. The person who came to talk to Zhang Yunzheng pointed to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "Look, I found a hero who can follow us to work, and it will definitely work this time."

Zhang Yunzheng narrowed his eyes, looked at these people, and asked, "You are all going to grab it."

A few people nodded excitedly, and their eyes with **** shone, and Zhang Yunzheng cursed: "I will kill you ungrateful and shameless bastards..." The four princes said hurriedly, "You can't kill people! They're just little thieves." !" Threw a stone and clapped his hands.

Zhang Yunzheng did not draw out the sword, only holding the sheath, punching with one hand, and kicking the foot, knocking a few people away in just a few strokes. Zhang Yunzheng was panting and couldn't chase it out. After those people ran away, they turned around and pointed at them and shouted: "Robber! That person wants to grab Li's house!" "He's a thief on the rivers and lakes!" "Catch him and go to the government!"...

Many refugees approached them, and someone said loudly, "Hey! Do you have a conscience!" "Everyone!"

Zhang Yunzheng was so angry that he looked at the four princes: "Look! The thief is a villain! The villain should be killed! They are not things!"

The four princes said loudly to the people around: "The few people just wanted to rob the porridge maker. I saw them through and knocked them away. Don't get me wrong!" His voice was not loud, and people still outflanked them. A few of them started running hurriedly. Zhang Yunzheng pushed and shoved all the way. Fortunately, just after a break, the pace was fairly fast. Soon after they ran outside the city gate, Zhang Yunzheng and others slowed down. The soldiers only thought it was a non-governmental organization Booing and not delving into it, he let a few people into the city.

Although there are many houses and shops along the street in this city, like other places they pass by, the streets are full of ragged beggars. As soon as they came out and ran, they were so hungry that their hands and feet were weakened. They were almost like beggars. Zhang Yunzheng asked people about the business of Li's family. He wanted to be there soon, hoping that it was really his mother's business and they could eat a full meal .

The more they want to go faster, the more they run into things. Not long after I left, the gate of a tall courtyard facing the street suddenly opened, and a woman with a disheveled hair and holding a child rushed out of it. Someone behind shouted and chased it out. This woman ran out a few steps and fell beside Su Wanniang. Fortunately, she knelt and cried to Su Wanniang: "Save my son! He is going to be beaten to death!"

Zhang Yunzheng had to stop, and saw that the boy in her arms was four or five years old, his head and face were swollen, and the arms exposed were all scars. Five or six servants and women ran out of the courtyard and pulled the woman back. The woman cried and shouted hoarsely: "Help! The son is going to be out of breath. He has been hungry for three days!" "Desperately free from the pull of several people, he pushed the child in his arms onto Su Wanniang, and said: "Help him! Help him! Please! Madam is dead, my daughter is going to kill him!..." The servant and mother-in-law heard this, punched and kicked the woman, cursing: "What are you talking about!" "Quickly tear her mouth!"

Su Wanniang didn't take precautions, she caught the child with her hand, and under her embrace, she felt that the child was extremely light and turned out to be a bone. Su Wanniang said angrily: "You still don't stop! Save the child first!"

She was hungry and thirsty, her voice was no longer clear, and her face was gray and her clothes were tattered. The servants didn't even listen. Zhang Yunzheng shouted: "Stop it! Do you still have a king's law for beating people like this in the street!"

When those people saw that he was fierce, they stopped beating the woman. Someone stepped forward and said, "Give us the child, he belongs to this house!"

Su Wanniang looked down at the child in her arms and saw that his face was already black, especially the expression of her mother when she passed away. She shouted in panic: "Look for a doctor! This child is sick!"

A servant came over and pulled the boy's arm: "What's wrong! Pretend to be sick! Madam said, I can't spoil him!"

Zhang Yunzheng stopped him and said, "This kid doesn't seem to be pretending to be sick!" He turned his head and looked around, "Go find the doctor!" There were so many onlookers around, no one answered.

Su Wanniang groped her arms with one hand, took out a small piece of dry food, and delivered it to the child’s mouth, but the child’s lips were chapped, and the fourth prince took off the water hyacinth and handed it over. Su Wanniang poured some water into the boy’s mouth, and it was smooth. As the corners of the child's mouth flowed down, Su Wanniang shouted: "Child, wake up."

The boy's eyelids moved and opened a gap. Su Wanniang said hurriedly: "Child! Have something to eat..."

Shen Wen said anxiously: "Don't say that!"

But it was too late, and a smile appeared on the child's puffy face, and he yelled softly: "Mother..." Then, as if he sighed, his eyes closed again.

Su Wanniang was anxious, and repeatedly yelled: "Wake up! Child! Wake up!..." But the body in her arms softened, and she raised her hand under the boy's nose, no longer breathing. Su Wanniang hugged the boy's body and cried, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't say that! I hurt you..." The child was relieved when she said that. Su Wanniang cried and said: "Rebirth to me as a child, I will treat you well, treat you well..."

A servant yelled, "This woman killed our son! Go report to the official!"

The fourth prince said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Look at this child, it is clear that he was killed!"

Several servants came around: "Who saw him being beaten, but we all saw this woman choke him to death!" "Yes, she herself said she killed the child!"

The woman who had been beaten crawled over, snatched the child from Su Wanniang's arms, and wailed: "Madam! I'm sorry! I didn't save your child!..."

The fourth prince said loudly: "If this child is really victimized, then go to sue the official!"

Someone laughed in a low voice, and a servant laughed at the four princes and said: "The hillbilly knows a fart! Sue the official! My master is the prefect! Go and sue!

Another servant said: "Go and tell the master that these outsiders killed the eldest son and want to make a false accusation!"

Zhang Yunzheng stepped forward and kicked him somersault, and cursed, "The thing that reverses right and wrong!"

Several servants and wives shouted: "These people are mobs!" "Rebellion is about to come!" "Hurry up and report to the official office!"...
