Five Escape 5

The sun is turning westward, and the autumn breeze is rising, bringing a chill. On the side of the avenue and in the fields, countless people are slowly moving towards the south, forming a long flow of people.

"Boom! Boom Boom ......" suddenly heard a noisy sound on the avenue, and most of the people ignored it and continued on their way. But there are still some people who stop and look back. In the midst of a cavalry army, mixed with a hundred and ten large and small vehicles galloping forward, the sound of wheels and horses' hooves was mixed together, and it echoed on the plains for a long time. The dust kicked up almost about to set the sun.

Today is the third day that the Yang family and the family of Xinwangfu left Lin'an, after three days of hurried travel, the convoy walked out of more than 400 miles, and entered the Raozhou boundary of Jiangnan East Road, and the continuous autumn rain finally stopped, and the long-lost sunshine also emerged from the clouds. At this time, the families of the two families were also very tired, even if the tassel Yan Rui and the two were in the same car, they were exhausted after a bumpy journey. Fortunately, the people of the two families knew that the current situation was dangerous, and the sooner they arrived at Longxing Mansion, the sooner they would be safer, so they all hurried away without complaint.

Tassel and Yan Rui took a car together, looked at the sky through the window, and at this time, at noon, Tassel called Yang Quan and said, "Uncle Quan, find a place to rest, eat lunch and then leave." ”

Yang Quan agreed and immediately went down to make arrangements. Yang Yizhong and Yang Yan are not there, and Mrs. Yang is old and not a director, and the rest and walking along the way are arranged by Yang An and Yang Quan, the two heads of the Tassel, Yan Rui and the Yang family. Yang An and Yang Quan have also followed Yang Yizhong for many years, have seen the world, and have also been in the army for several years, so they are responsible for the deployment of the army, and Tassel and Yan Rui only have to take care of the families of the three families. And the Xinwang Mansion also listened to their dispatch, and there was still no dispute along the way.

After all, Yang Yizhong is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has the experience of fleeing from the battlefield, so he has long ordered his family to bring only some small and soft belongings with him, and most of the large things are left in Lin'an or buried, or given away, and a large amount of food and drinking water has been prepared far away, because there are too many people, and there are chaos along the way, I am afraid that I will not be able to sell food if I have money. Therefore, there is no shortage of food and drink along the way.

The combined population of the three families was more than 600 people, a total of 105 large and small vehicles, and more than 20 horses, including more than 200 men in the prime of life, plus a thousand cavalry sent by Yang Yan to escort their group, forming a long line. Tian Kai, who was responsible for escorting them, knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he also made careful arrangements, so that the chariot and the female dependents were in the center of the team, and the men in the prime of life each held a long stick to surround the chariot and the female dependents, and the soldiers protected them in the outermost periphery. In order

At this time, after listening to Yang Quan's orders, Tian Kai immediately ordered the whole team to stop advancing. Find a place with your back to the gable and park the car in the center with the others on the periphery. The soldiers were divided into two groups, one for cooking and the other for guarding, to protect the safety of the people, and then they were replaced. The soldiers moved in an orderly manner and appeared to be well-trained. Yang An and Yang Quan have also fought on the battlefield with Yang Yizhong for many years, and they are also greatly admired for this, and the soldiers led by the old county king are nothing more than that.

At this time, people began to boil water for cooking. Tassel and Yan Rui also got out of the car, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the flow of people who couldn't see the head and tail outside, or leading sheep and driving cattle, pushing carts and carrying burdens, or backpacks and baskets, helping the old and carrying the young, the gray-haired old men, and the childish children, all joined the flow of people going south.

It turned out that since the Jin army raided from the sea, the people of the two Zhejiang roads were greatly panicked, at this time it was only 40 years since the Jin army searched the mountains and seas, many old people still remember the brutality of the Jin army in those years, where they passed, the old, weak, sick and disabled were all killed, and the men and women in the prime of life were taken captive to the Jin country, and the men were coolies, and the women were slaves. Chickens and dogs are not left. Therefore, as soon as they heard that the Jin army was coming again, some people who had relatives and friends in the south immediately packed up their belongings and fled to the south first. It didn't take long for the panic to spread on Liangzhejiang Road, and more and more people joined the flow of people fleeing south, and finally formed a huge tide of displaced people.

At this time, it was the weather in the middle of October, the leaves withered, the weather was getting colder, and the autumn rain continued all the way, some of the displaced people lacked food and clothing, and as soon as their physique was weak, they fell to death on the avenue, and the number of displaced people who died increased day by day, and the corpses of the displaced people could be seen on the avenue from time to time. Even at night, wild dogs are seen to gnaw on carcasses.

At the same time, the number of displaced people increased, all kinds of ugly things continued to happen, the wild fruits and wild vegetables along the road were eaten, the strong people began to bully the weak people, the more crowded party began to rob the less crowded party, in order to compete for money, food and other things, stealing, robbing, fighting, fighting and picking every day, sometimes for a piece of bread, a steamed bun, will cause dozens of people to fight, countless casualties. At this time, human life is worthless.

Since the Yang family's party was relatively well prepared, and there was some surplus food, at the beginning, Tassel and Yan Rui would also instruct their families to disperse the food to some homeless, but after some homeless people took the food, they attracted more homeless people, one by one, with blood-filled eyes and outstretched hands, running to the front of the team to beg for food.

Seeing this scene, Yang An and Yang Quan couldn't help but persuade Tassel and Yan Rui to use the food they brought to help all the homeless people. Food can no longer be given to the homeless. Tassel and Yan Rui also knew that their abilities were limited at this time, so they agreed.

However, the displaced people who did not have access to food refused to leave and remained in front of the convoy. The two sides held each other for a while, but they didn't know that it was the homeless who took the lead, and was the first to storm the convoy, which finally triggered the homeless people to attack the convoy. Fortunately, the Song army, which protected the convoy, played a role at this time, and Tian Kai commanded the soldiers to try their best to protect the convoy, and under pressure, raised weapons to the displaced people.

Under the swords and guns of the Song army, dozens of homeless people were killed. Only then did the other homeless people know about the trouble, and they didn't dare to entangle the convoy anymore, and finally dispersed in a hurry. Everyone looked at the bodies of dozens of homeless people in front of them, as if they had a nightmare, and even the escorted Song soldiers were trembling, because this time the swords and guns were referring to innocent people. It was Yang An and Yang Quan, both of whom had experienced the battlefield, and they didn't feel anything, and under the persuasion of the two of them, everyone got back into the car and continued on the road.

Despite this, along the way, Tassel and Yan Rui took in seven orphans.
