150. The road has starving bones

On a wide avenue, on both sides of the road, there should be farmland that could live people, but at this time it is a desolate place, not a single grass grows, let alone any crops, and what is shocking is the faltering people on the road, more precisely, the disaster victims, refugees.

A hungry man with yellow face and thin muscles, tattered linen clothes hanging on his body, and the backpack in his arms hugged him tightly, and walked on this "broad road" towards the "yang" with his only relatives, longing for the situation ahead to be better, looking forward to the help of the imperial court, because their goal is the Gyeonggi area, where is the foot of the Son of Heaven, maybe the situation will be better, the days are a little hopeful, the saint will send food, but how many people can't hold on.

Poof, smashing up a small cloud of dust. It was accompanied by a crying wail.

"A-Niang, woo woo ~ A-Niang, don't go, you'll be in Jingzhou ahead, there will be food there, don't go, hold on."

A skinny, skinny, sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was crying with an old woman who had fallen to the ground.

A few people on the road glanced at it, and continued to go on the road numbly, even if a life passed in front of them, there was no trace of emotion in their eyes, because they were all fellow travelers. Occasionally, a trace of panic flashed in someone's eyes, as if they were afraid that he would be the next person to fall to the ground.

The young man shouted and hurriedly took out the contents of the package, and when he looked at it, it was a black dough that had been stiffened, and the young man tore off a corner, tore it hard, and put it in the old woman's mouth, and then took out a small gourd, and there were a few mouthfuls of water in it, all of which were fed to the old woman.

Constantly crying and feeding, the old woman opened her cloudy and yellow eyes, but they were a little moist at this time.

"Ah, A-Niang, you're awake, haha, wake up, come, the child carries you, let's go to Jingzhou, the second grandfather is in Jingzhou, there will be food at that time, and there will be a day to go to Jingzhou, A-Niang, Jingzhou is a big city on the edge of the imperial city, where the situation must be better, there must be food, we will not starve to death by then, we will all have food." When the young man saw that the old woman was awake, he opened his eyes, and he kept talking without listening.

The old woman also pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled stiffly, but just as the young man was about to help her up.

She shook her head, "Cheng'er, no, don't worry about your mother, you are still young, you will definitely be able to ...... I'm going to be able to go, okay...... Live well".

The young man's eyes widened, and he cried and shook his head, "A-Niang, the child will carry you on his back."

The old woman shook her head slightly, "Cheng, Cheng'er, remember, you can't do anything in this life, it's evil, live well, if, if you can, then live up to what you have learned, enter an official body, glorify your ancestors, can't, just live well, don't ...... Don't be evil, insult the family, otherwise, otherwise your mother will not recognize you."

Suddenly, the old woman's eyes tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly put away the dry food."

As soon as the young man heard this, he looked up, and saw several people around him looking at the dumplings and water hyacinth under him with hungry eyes.

Then he said to his mother: "Auntie, don't say it, the child will carry you and continue to walk."

"No, no, you have to remember what you said for your mother."

"Uh-huh, yes, the child remembers, the child remembers". The young man couldn't bear it anymore, how could he not see that his mother had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up, and this was probably the last word, but he still thought that his mother could hold on, but he was unfortunate at the end of his life.

When the old woman heard this, she seemed to be relieved and happy, and her eyes wandered and she looked at the clear sky. muttered: "Your grandfather will, will be proud of you."

Suddenly, the old woman's eyes widened, her eyes burned, she grabbed the young man's hand, and said, "Shine on the lintel, don't be evil." After saying that, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he softened, and the hand that held the young man also fell.

"A-Niang, A-Niang, A-Niang." The boy cried hysterically, but the old woman never opened her eyes again.

"Haha, boy, quickly take out the dry food in the bag, uncle, I will spare your life."

"I didn't find this kid and a big ball."

"Isn't it our buddies now, haha."

"Haha".

Seeing that a few big men were not good, the pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry to avoid and tighten the package, and a few kind-hearted people were also sad for this young man, how could they eat in front of the public at this time, it would be remembered, but this young man had no choice, his mother was starving to death, what else could he do.

The young man turned a deaf ear to the words of the three men, and hugged his mother and cried bitterly, the wailing was tear-jerking, the depth of love can be felt, and the filial piety can be seen by the sun and the moon.

After a while, the three men came to their feet and said sharply: "Hmph, boy, take it out quickly, don't ask the uncle to do it."

The young man raised his head at this time, there was no look in his eyes, he looked at the three big men, clenched his mother's fist and squeezed it involuntarily, and then looked down at the old lady, his teeth were clenched, and it took a long time to take out the black and slimy ball, that is, a mess of noodles, and said: "Just this one ball, how can you divide the three of you?"

When the three of them heard this, they were stunned, and for a long time, they also reacted, such a fist-sized dumpling, if one person eats it, drink some water, and it can be half full, if three men divide it...... It's a little embarrassing.

Suddenly, the three of them, you look at me, I look at you, the one who spoke first clenched his fists, and then the person with the thinnest figure and a narrow face among the three said: "Two, he wants us to fight by ourselves first."

When the other two heard this, Gu was stunned, and then, the first man was furious, "Boy, you dare to make a trick." With that, he raised a wooden stick in his hand.

The wooden stick carried under the command of the strong wind, the young man's face changed, and he just wanted to dodge, but he had an old mother in his arms, and as soon as he dodged, the stick would definitely hit his mother, which made him how to do it.

When even if he was lying on his stomach, bowing his body to protect his mother, bang~ The young man who hit him had a chest tightness, and then the juniors were in hot pain, but he didn't say a word.

When the man looked at it, he said fiercely: "Drink, it's still a hard bone, uncle, how hard can you be?"

After that, he raised the stick again, and the young man was very sad in his heart, and my life was over, but when he tilted his head, he saw a mighty team of people coming in the distance.

Said that it was late, it was fast, the stick was still in the air, but only heard a sound of ~ , and then a clang, everyone looked, the stick fell in the distance, the wooden stick was stuck in a feather at one end, and the young man saw that the hand of the man with the wooden stick was trembling slightly, which showed the strength of the arrow, and it was more accurate.

A few people turned their heads to look, only to see more than 20 horses running straight towards them on the road, the leader was a white robe, wearing a white robe on his back, simply tied his hair, but his forehead was tied with a blue cloth, he was holding a big bow in his hand, and a majestic BMW in his crotch. Then I saw clearly that the group of people who came, all of them carried swords at their waists, and their horses carried bows and arrows, and it seemed that they were from a large family.

The big man's face seemed to be a little uneasy, while the young man was overjoyed, my life was saved, my life was saved.
