When the early morning light lit up slightly, Ning Yi walked out of the tent and sat down on the hillside, surrounded by the sound of noisy quarrels.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains and valleys are full of fleeing people, all kinds of clothes and clothes, large and small burdens, horses, mules, and even cattle, and the carriages can no longer move between such mountain roads, so there are no carriages.

Some people took advantage of the dawn to fetch water by the stream, some people took cold water to eat some dry food, and some carried large bags and small bags, afraid of being left behind when they went on the road for a while, at this time they rushed to the front in groups, these people were mostly old and weak, women and children, ragged, and looked pitiful.

Since the city of Hangzhou was broken and the time of the escape, those panicked and desolate chaotic scenes have been a little miserable at this time, and in three days, the largest fugitive team has gone through several turns, and now no one knows where they should go, and even the leaders of the team at this time do not know how to go.

Since the city was broken, the prefect Lu Tuizhi and others have already left by boat, and Qian Xiwen and others, who originally stated that they would not go by boat, probably also got on the boat with the support of their families and fled out of the mouth of the Qiantang River. The sea ship wharf in the south of Hangzhou was originally attacked by Wang Yin and others, and in the chaos of the city, countless residents rushed over and were incited. Of course, there are always some boats that can go, but Ning Yi couldn't join in the excitement, he planned and entangled the rich merchants and gentry according to the original plan to kill the north of the city, and then joined the scattered army and countless residents of Hangzhou, and fled to the north.

Along the way, this initially disorderly rout team has also gone through various dispersions and aggregations, sometimes splitting into two teams and fleeing in different directions, and sometimes encountering some scattered and fleeing people. After gradually forming a team of leaders, they met with a chaotic army of Fang La early yesterday morning, and the two sides clashed, but the other party did not deliberately come to catch up, and the number was not large, and finally both sides chose a truce and ran in different directions.

At this time, I am afraid that many different teams fled from the fallen city in different directions within this range, and there were many wealthy merchants and gentry in this team, and they all carried a large amount of wealth, such as silver tickets and deeds, gold and silver property, even if some had been thrown away on the road, the number at this time was considerable.

These people did not dare to leave the team and fall into the hands of the Fangla bandits. Suzhou and Hangzhou have long known that every time the Fangla army goes down to the city, almost all the landlords, gentry, and official families are slaughtered cleanly, and in a family, the men are killed and slaughtered, and the women are insulted, which is miserable. And even if there is no permanent property in the family, in the case of such an external order has been completely lost, they do not dare to leave this team, although Fang Lata's slogan is "the law is equal, there is no superior", but there is no backer, if he is left alone in such a situation, who can guarantee that he will not be killed by those rebels like pigs and sheep.

In the initial chaotic escape, although Lu Tuizhi, Qian Xiwen and other Hangzhou leaders left by boat, most of the children of the family did not have such a good treatment, and now in this team, there are many children of Qian, Mu, Tang and Chang, and even Tang Xiuxuan, the head of the Tang family, is also in the team at this time, and Qian Haiping of the Qian family, because he was dealing with Fang Qifo, Wang Yin, Shi Bao and others, did not take a sea boat, he was in charge of the official service in Hangzhou Mansion, and also dealt with the army. At this time, he knew most of the generals in the Wude Battalion, and when he began to think about where to go next yesterday, he invited Ning Yi and his wife over.

At this time, it was just dawn, Ning Yi sat there and looked down for a while, not far away, there were two groups of people who were probably beaten because of some quarrels or friction quarrels, and the people around were watching indifferently, if such a thing happened in the street market in the past, there must be countless interested onlookers, and at this time, everyone didn't even have the mind to gossip. In the small tent next to her, Juan'er came out with a fluffy head, carrying two small wooden barrels in her hands, glanced at Ning Yi, seemed to be slightly frightened, and after a while, she lowered her head and went to the stream in the distance.

This girl, but just pressed her chest, at this time I'm still afraid, I don't know how many times I pressed your young lady......

Ning Yi sat there and scolded a few words, and then felt that this mentality was a bit like the second ancestor who was molesting the maid all day long, and couldn't help but smile. There were originally many people fetching water by the stream, but when Juan'er passed, she saw some people pushing and shoving, scolding upstream, but it was because some young people on the upstream side were washing their feet in the water or simply jumped in, and then a quarrel broke out. Juan'er looked down and walked around upstream with the barrel. , There was almost a fight over there for a while, and a little upstream, Juan'er finally arrived, squatting by the stream to draw water, and at this time, I heard a person in the noisy crowd not far away also roaring: "I'm like this, what can you do to me in my house...... Come on, there is a kind of let's do it alone...... **** Lao Tzu's brother has died in the army to resist the bandits, but Lao Tzu's family is not dead, there is a kind of come...... You're not allowed to fetch water, hey, over there, why are you going up there and going down?"

This man probably had some military connections in his family, and he had already run over while he was talking, threw the bucket in one person's hand, and then pushed another person down. Next is Juan'er, the little girl saw the tall man running close viciously, carrying a wooden bucket and trying to get up and run away, for a while she used too much force, sat on the ground, and a bucket of water was also overturned, the person had already walked to a place less than a zhang away from Juan'er, stretched out his hand and pointed: "You ......" Before the words were finished, the whole person flew up suddenly.

Bang, there was a huge splash of water in the stream, and it was a scholar who had just come straight to the water, who seemed to be no taller than the man, but he just walked over, cut the other party's outstretched left hand, and pressed the back of his head with the other hand, pushing him up and pressing him into the stream.

It seems that the action is simple and simple to the extreme, in Juan'er's eyes, it is naturally his own uncle Ning Yi, in the eyes of others, he is just a scholar who seems to be a little thin on the way to escape, but he pinched the opponent's left wrist with one hand, cut the person's left arm, and directly pressed the person's head with the other hand, and immersed his upper body in the stream, the man struggled desperately in the stream, but he couldn't move no matter what.

On the side of the crowd, the people who were with this person also reacted and rushed towards this side, at the same time, a small group of soldiers who were originally watching the excitement on the side also rushed over: "What are you doing" but helped Ning Yi to block the gang of people, but the general at the head knew Ning Yi and asked his subordinates to block them, so he looked back at Ning Yi on this side and shouted: "Mr. Ning." ”

This person also has a slight position in the army, although he is not high, but because of this, he met Ning Yi and his wife yesterday, and he only thought that he was a simple scholar, but at this time, he saw that he pressed the man into the water, and he didn't blink his eyes much. The man's entire head had already entered the water, struggling hard, and his unrestrained right hand was flapping everywhere, trying to grab Ning Yi. Ning Yi coughed a few times, put his knee on his back, pinched his left arm and twisted it to the right, only to hear the sound of "click", the man's left hand was probably broken, his eyes opened suddenly in the water, and countless bubbles poured out of his mouth and nose like boiling.

After pressing like this for a moment, Ning Yi pulled the man out of the water and threw it aside, the man's body twitched slightly, and it looked like he was about to die. At this time, Ning Yi greeted the officer: "General Liu, it's rude." ”

The general was stunned: "Mr. Ning actually knows the name of the Dao?" His level was not enough to participate in such a meeting, so he just left after a foil on the side, but he didn't expect the other party to know about him.

Ning Yi just smiled and didn't answer, he just overheard this clue when everyone was talking in the tent last night, although he didn't take it to heart at the time, but at this time it is not difficult to remember it with an impression, a little polite, Ning Yi said: "On the way to escape, it is not easy for everyone, maybe there will be a battle next, it is better to work together than to be centrifugal and panicked." There are such things, if you can manage them, it is better to manage them after all. ”

When he said this, the other party immediately made a teachable expression, and Ning Yi didn't care whether he was convinced or pretended. If you are not in politics, words are enough. After dealing with this team of soldiers slightly, Ning Yi turned around and picked up a small wooden bucket and fetched a bucket of water, he originally wanted to help carry back the two buckets of water by himself, but Juan'er adhered to her duty as a maid, and the other bucket refused to be handed over to Ning Yi no matter what, just pursed her lips and shook her head.

The two walked back with buckets, Ning Yi looked at Juan'er and smiled: "Others are running for their lives, either bring some gold, silver and jewelry or some food, you girls are good, you don't bring a lot of things, bring two buckets and a basin, who came up with the idea......"

"I brought something ......to eat," Juan'er replied like a mosquito in the back. "Is washing so important?" ”。

"For Miss......" Juan'er replied as a matter of course, of course still in a low voice, "How can you let Miss wash in front of others......"

"Get a piece of cloth, make a curtain, anything, and I don't think your young lady is expensive enough to pay attention to those at this time."

"I forgot when I ran, there were two small buckets next to it, and they weren't heavy, so we brought the basins with us."

"Heh......"

Ning Yi couldn't help laughing for a while, Juan'er followed for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, where are we going next?" ”

"I don't know the road yet, maybe it's Huzhou."

"Huh? Isn't it Jiaxing? ”。

"Listen to whom." Ning Yi smiled bitterly, "Of course, it may be Jiaxing, but the canal is the richest, since Fang La has taken Hangzhou, the next step may be to take Jiaxing...... But now it's not safe to go to Huzhou to Jiaxing, and the bandits on the road are probably following the uprising to join in the fun, and they have to turn around wherever they go, and we are now in this group...... So many rich people ......"

"Uncle is worried that Fang La will send someone to catch up, right? Quite a few words"

"It should be sent." Ning Yi paused, "However, Hangzhou is famous for its wealth and world, although it was earthquakeed this time, a large amount of money, goods and food were not taken away, since they took it, it should take a while to kill people and liquidate and loot money." Those who can't get oil and water over there may be red eyes here, Fang La's people, or bandits on the road, this road is not easy to walk, but now it can only go down, if you can get to Huzhou as soon as possible, then everything will be fine. ”

After Ning Yi finished speaking, he smiled at Juan'er, although he said these things in his mouth, but in his tone, he did not give people a sense of despair, after a while, the tent on the mountainside was almost there, Ning Yi coughed, and Juan'er said: "Uncle, are you infected with the cold?" ”

"Huh?"

"Miss seems to have contracted the wind and cold, yesterday...... Ah, Uncle, look, Miss......"

Juan'er said, pointing her hand to the side, Ning Yi looked over there, and saw that under a tree not far from the tent where she and Su Tan'er lived, his wife was holding on to the trunk of the tree, and she seemed to be a little uncomfortable, Chan'er followed and patted her on the back. When Ning Yi and Juan'er walked over, Su Tan'er seemed to have recovered, and smiled at him:

"Xu is not living a good life along the way, eating raw and cold food, and ruining his stomach...... The rich woman is like this, she can't withstand the wind and waves, which makes the husband worried......"

Ning Yi looked at her for a while, and then suddenly laughed: "I'll go find a doctor." ”

He handed the small wooden barrel to Chan'er, turned around and went downhill, walked a few steps, the wind blew, the picture in front of him suddenly trembled, slightly dizzy, he stood there holding his forehead for a while before recovering. When he reached out and touched the wound on his right arm, he was greeted with sharp pain.

"Xianggong, what's wrong?" Su Tan'er and the others trotted over anxiously, Ning Yi turned his head and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll find a doctor right away." ”

He touched his right arm again, and there was already a slight guess in his mind. Not long after, the doctor came, and after taking Su Tan'er's pulse, it was confirmed that Su Tan'er was pregnant. Confirming the news on the way to escape really made everyone feel complicated, everyone was stunned for a while before they smiled a little hesitantly, but Ning Yi laughed with relief, Su Tan'er held his hand, just pursed his mouth and smiled, and he couldn't stop shedding tears.

Then the doctor also re-examined Ning Yi's wound, and the result made almost everyone feel like they were falling into an abyss. Only Ning Yi had a slight speculation before, for a few days, he had some symptoms of a cold, but yesterday and today it became a little serious, coughing, his head was a little hot, and he felt slightly weak, it may be that he practiced internal skills to delay the appearance of these symptoms, but today it seems that the wound has faintly suppurated. At this time, it is called the entry of external evil into the body, and in later life, it is called wound infection. ……，
