The woman was very busy, and had little time to stay in the hut, but the little boy often stayed in the hut, and even when he went out, he only went out when the woman was there, and as soon as the woman left, she went back to the hut and went into the hut. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Every time the woman went out, she came back with something, the first day was some tender leaves and grass roots, and the woman boiled these things into porridge; the second day, the woman brought two black cakes, one for the little boy, and the other piece was broken and soaked in water and fed half of it to Xiao Yu; on the third day, the woman came back very late, almost empty-handed, and in the evening, the woman went out, and when she came back, she brought back two corn tortillas, which were the best food for them in the past few days, and the woman did not eat all the tortillas, but hid one of them in the haystack, and the other was also melted in the water, boiled into polenta, and the three of them shared it。

Whenever this time, the woman will chatter, Xiao Yu didn't understand at first ==, but slowly understood, if she didn't talk like this, she wouldn't know what to say, the days were like this every day, and she couldn't see the light.

"It's been a few days, why don't you say a word, Qiu Huzi said, if you want to be like this, you have to carry it out. ”

"If you don't speak, there is no one in your house!"

"Hey, don't spill it!"

During the day, the shed is much quieter, occasionally the little boy feels bored, he will talk to him, the little boy has a slingshot, once took it out to show off to Xiao Yu, the next day, the little boy quietly ran out, not long after carrying two birds back, very proud to show off to Xiao Yu.

"You have to hurry up," the little boy whispered to Xiao Yu's head, "If you are not good, they will eat you." ”

Xiao Yu felt a chill in his heart, this is not the little boy's innocent scare, this may be true, the homeless people wander under the Great Jin Dynasty, and when they can't find food, they will eat everything, this mother and son did not eat him, and took the time to treat his injuries and give him food, and they have done their best.

"Mom won't let me go out," the little boy muttered, "I said that people outside eat children, but in fact, I know that I still have a younger sister, and my mother sold her last year for three taels of silver, and I ate with my mother for more than half a month." ”

The little boy's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, or a neighbor's matter, but Xiao Yu was very sad in his heart, the suffering of the Li people, above the temple, who knows.

However, this woman is still kind-hearted, and the person who bought the little girl is also good-hearted, such a small girl, generally no one buys it, this little boy looks like he is only six or seven years old, and his sister is even younger, such a little girl can't do anything, and it takes a few years to use it, even if it is a green building, they will not buy such a little girl, they generally buy a ten-year-old little girl, and the little girl at this age can start training when she buys it, and after three or four years, she can start performing and picking up guests.

"Yesterday I saw Dao'er's father pulling her to find her mother, I guess it was to replace me," the little boy was a little worried, and as he was talking, the straw curtain was lifted, and a thin man swayed in, and when he saw Xiao Yu, his eyes lit up, and Xiao Yu's heart was cold,

The little boy couldn't help but get nervous: "Uncle Jia, you, you, what are you going to do?"

"This guy is going to die, strong, just the right rookie. The middle-aged man laughed dryly, the little boy became even more nervous, and stood up to stop the middle-aged man: "I, my mother"

"Get out!" The middle-aged man slapped the little boy aside, looked down at Xiao Yu, sighed and said, "Brother, don't blame me, I haven't eaten enough for several days, anyway, if you want to die, it's better to cheapen us." ”

"Come in, hurry up, the woman will be in trouble when she comes back!" the middle-aged man turned his head and shouted outside.

Two thin men came in from outside, one of these two grabbed one of Xiao Yu's feet, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he did not die in the hands of those nobles, but wanted to become the mouth of these homeless people.

The middle-aged man raised Xiao Yu's head, and the three of them lifted out, the two of them raised their feet and went out first, and the middle-aged man raised his head in the back.

"Ahh

At this moment, the immaturity of the little boy was gone, and there was an unimaginable ruthlessness in his eyes, his small mouth was bitten to death, and his not big eyes were round.

The little boy pulled out the knife and stabbed the middle-aged man in the stomach again.

The two people outside the door heard the screams, threw down Xiao Yu, and rushed in, the little boy was covered in blood, holding the knife in both hands, and the tip of the knife was pointed at the two people, the two people didn't care about the little boy at all, squatted down and touched the middle-aged man, and soon carried the middle-aged man out.

The movement here had already alarmed the people in the hollow, and they soon gathered around, and the middle-aged man was dragged to the middle of the shack, quickly stripped naked, and then disemboweled, his head cut off and thrown aside, and a fire rose in the middle of the field, and all of them moved skillfully, and there was no sadness on everyone's faces, but a hint of excitement.

The little boy didn't go out, after the two left, the little boy came over and wanted to drag Xiao Yu back, at this moment Xiao Yu had two feet outside and his head inside, but the little boy couldn't drag it anymore, he was secretly anxious, Qiu Huzi came in, saw the blood all over the ground, sighed softly, didn't say anything, picked up Xiao Yu out, the little boy seemed to trust him more, holding a knife in both hands, following behind.

Qiu Huzi put Xiao Yu in his shack, and asked the little boy to stay by Xiao Yu's side and not go out, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought the little girl in, the little girl looked frightened, her eyes were full of uneasiness, the little boy's lips were pursed tightly, and the knife in his hand was also clawed.

"You should be able to speak. Qiu Huzi sat next to Xiao Yu and said: "Although I don't know who you are, but I know that you are from the rivers and lakes, the sister-in-law of the family said that you have encountered bandits, but I know no, you have family and friends, tell us as soon as possible, we will help you inform, this is not a good place, in the early winter of last year, there were more than 700 people here, and now there are only more than 500 people, and no more than 50 people have left." ”

After Qiu Huzi finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yu quietly, Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were full of doubts, Qiu Huzi understood, and smiled lightly: "Whether you believe me or not, now you can only believe me." ”

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly: "This is here?"

"Wild Reed Pond. "The place name Qiu Huzi said is different from what the sister-in-law of the analysis family said, but the shallow water wai that the sister-in-law of the analysis family said was chosen by themselves.

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and then spoke, his voice was very low, although the action just now did not rupture his wound, but the pain was still unbearable, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

"The majestic march is great, the breeze blows the beginning, the wild geese fly high, and I smile to the sky. ”

"The majestic march is great, the breeze blows the beginning, the wild geese fly high, and I smile to the sky. Qiu Huzi repeated it twice, looking at Xiao Yu puzzled, Xiao Yu didn't explain, just motioned for him to write it down, Qiu Huzi took a carbon stick, wrote it down on the strip of cloth, and then showed it to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu nodded, and then told him to send it there.

"You don't want to go during the day, you have to go at night," Xiao Yu said in a low voice, Qiu Huzi nodded, and Xiao Yu said again: "You take him, after you get to the place, don't come forward, let him send him in, after sending it, leave immediately, you have to pay attention to whether there is anyone behind him, oh, by the way, let him ask the people inside for two taels of silver." ”

A smile appeared on Qiu Huzi's dirty face: "What an old trick in the rivers and lakes, you are really extraordinary." Okay, when the sister-in-law comes back, I'll leave. ”

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, he had no other way but to take risks, hoping that his judgment was correct.

Soon in the afternoon, the woman came back, brought back a little leftovers, saw the person boiling in the pot, was startled, and hurriedly ran to the grass shed, but was stopped by Qiu Huzi, and told her the matter briefly, the sister-in-law of the Xi family was frightened, and quickly ran to Qiu Huzi's grass hut and hugged her son tightly in her arms.

After a while, she calmed down, saw the little girl next to her, sighed softly, pulled her over, and squatted in front of her: "Let's live together in the future, as long as we can live." ”

"I took the dog out to deliver a letter for my eldest brother. Qiu Huzi said to the sister-in-law of the analysis family, and the sister-in-law of the analysis family looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Xiao Yu: "Send a letter, what kind of letter to send?"

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, Qiu Huzi sighed: "Don't worry, we'll come back before evening." ”

The sister-in-law of the Xi family was silent, tidied up her son's clothes, and then let Qiu Huzi take him away.

After they left, they turned around and met Xiao Yu's gaze, the sister-in-law of the analysis family looked at him worriedly, poured the begged food into the jar, and then came out with the clay pot, after a while, Xiao Yu heard someone outside shouting, and asked the sister-in-law of the analysis family to go to get the meat, but the sister-in-law of the analysis family did not answer.

The man screamed and didn't care anymore, and after a while, the sister-in-law of the Xi family came in with a jar and gave half a bowl to the little girl, the little girl squatted aside with the bowl and ate it, and the woman took another half bowl, hesitated and added half a spoon, and brought it to Xiao Yu, ready to feed Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu shook his head, and the sister-in-law frowned, "What's wrong?"

"You eat," Xiao Yu whispered, "I'm not hungry." ”

"What do you say!" The sister-in-law of the analysis family unhappily scooped up a spoonful and sent it to Xiao Yu's mouth, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in her heart, so she had to open her mouth, and the sister-in-law of the analysis family asked while feeding: "You have friends here, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiao Yu has rice in his mouth, the sister-in-law of the Xi family is very careful, the rice and vegetable leaves are pressed finely, there is no oil in such rice, and there is a little strange smell, such a thing, before this, let alone Xiao Yu, I am afraid that even his dog will not eat it, but here, it is a rare delicacy.

"I said that your friend would have sent you over a long time ago, and that would be used to suffer here. The sister-in-law of the analysis family muttered, the little girl held the big bowl, her little face was almost buried in the bowl, and sometimes she looked up at the sister-in-law of the analysis family and Xiao Yu, chewed hard and swallowed, and then buried her head in the bowl again.

"Alas, big brother, can you ask your friend to give our mother, oh, it's my mother to find a job, I will do anything. After Xiao Yu swallowed the food, the sister-in-law shook her head, and the sister-in-law of the analysis family no longer persuaded her, and saw that there was still about half of the food in the bowl, and then ate it herself.

"If I live, you will have a good life. Xiao Yu's tone was calm and affirmative, the sister-in-law of the analysis family talked while eating, and got Xiao Yu's promise, she was a little quiet, but after a while, she began to talk again, today her words seem to be a lot, Xiao Yu gradually understood this woman, women are afraid that he will leave their mother and son, now he is their last hope, the homeless people are a group of people who are desperately poor, in order to survive, they do everything, including cannibalism.

A woman has never eaten a human being, and she has maintained the last bottom line of being a human being, but how long can she keep it? God knows.

Perhaps, tomorrow, their mother and child will become food for other people.

After eating, the woman began to get busy again, this time she left the little girl in the grass hut, went out by herself, when she came back before the evening, carrying a large bag of leaves, the roof of the grass shed was covered with a red sunset, the wind blowing on the river became much colder, the woman sat at the door and looked blankly at the edge of the depression, the little girl leaned on her side, playing with the blue pebbles, occasionally looked up at the woman, saw that she did not react, then lowered her head and continued to play.

When the sunset gradually went down, a large and a small figure appeared on the edge of the depression, the woman quietly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and greeted the two of them, the little girl hesitated and didn't know whether to chase after the past or stay, the woman turned around and told her to let her go in and watch Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu has been trying to repair his internal injuries, but this time the injury was too heavy, and after a few days, his dantian was still empty, and the broken meridians were still broken, without the slightest sign of improvement.

This made him very disappointed, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the injury showed no signs of improvement, he wouldn't let Qiu Huzi contact him.

What he told Qiu Huzi was the manor of the Hanhai Trading Company outside the city, and it was not that Fengyulou had no contact points outside the city, but he didn't dare to guarantee that these contact points still existed, or that he didn't dare to guarantee that they were not monitored by the palace, and these contact points knew all about it.

In addition, in the wind and rain building, how many internal guards are buried in the palace? He doesn't know, now he doesn't have the slightest resistance, even if it is this little girl on the side, he can't resist.

Qiu Huzi opened the straw curtain and came in, signaling the little girl to go out to play, the little girl went out obediently, Qiu Huzi put down the straw curtain and sat next to Xiao Yu.

"The letter has been sent in, and two taels of silver have been obtained, and no one has come out. After Qiu Huzi finished speaking, he looked at him quietly.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yu's voice was still weak, his eyes were still dim, but the question was sharp.

"I," Qiu Huzi smiled faintly: "People here call me Qiu Huzi, but this is not my real name, what is my real name, I have forgotten, on the rivers and lakes, I have also been mixed for seven or eight years, and I have seen some, so, guess a little." ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, still staring at him, Qiu Huzi was silent for a while, and sighed: "I'm tired of escaping like this," Speaking of this, he paused: "I used to follow the master to learn Dan, but unfortunately I have dull qualifications, I have studied for more than ten years, and I am still in the realm of Dantu, after the death of the master, I returned to my hometown and found that my family was killed, and the family originally had ten hectares of land all robbed by the Xiaoshi clan. ”

Xiao Yu didn't react after hearing this, there was obviously a meaning of refuge in the other party's tone, but he couldn't say it for the time being, now he couldn't even protect himself, let alone others.

Qiu Huzi was a little disappointed, sighed softly and got up to go out, Xiao Yu said: "Well, I estimate that they can find this tomorrow morning, don't go out tomorrow, don't go near this grass shed, let the sister-in-law of the Xi family and them be with you, don't go out, and don't come near here." ”

Qiu Huzi's face changed slightly, then returned to normal, nodded at Xiao Yu, and turned to go out.

That night, the wild reed pond was very quiet, and the people who had eaten a full meal lay down in twos and threes on the open space, and the bones that had been gnawed were thrown everywhere, and when the starlight was sprinkled, more than a dozen men came, and these men were men from the nearby Zhuangzi, who had come here to find women.

The well-fed men did not move, and watched as the men negotiated the price with the women, and then dragged the women into the hut or into the reeds beside them, these men had no money, but had food, which had survived the winter.

Xiao Yu listened to all kinds of voices outside, although his injuries were very serious, his six senses were still keen, and the movements around him could not be hidden, and now he was safe for the time being.

He wasn't worried at all that Liu Han wouldn't be able to see the hidden words in the poem, even if Liu Han couldn't see it, the old thing would definitely be able to see it, but he couldn't get Liu Han's attitude.

In the imperial capital, if there is anyone who knows Liu Han's strength, it is only him Xiao Yu, Reina doesn't know, and the things that are connected with Lao Huang are all carried out by him, he still remembers that before dealing with the Cao Gang, when Lao Huang suggested that he unite with Liu Han, he hinted that Liu Han's strength surpassed that of Fengyulou, and the thirty-six iron guards under his command were only stronger than the seven stars and eight generals, and then the facts proved that the guard named Liu Tie next to him had the strength of the peak of a martial artist, and he was afraid that he was one step away from stepping into the realm of the grandmaster.

Xiao Yu is very sober, if the wind and rain building falls, how many benefits will be left, if Liu Han wants to take over in an all-round way, no one in the imperial capital can stop him.

However, the old thing also said that Liu Han was not very interested in the rivers and lakes, and he believed in the old guy, so he asked Qiu Huzi to contact Liu Han, but what should he do when he went back? Did Reina escape?

Everything was a mess, and the wound was faintly painful again, he sighed, and began to breathe again, the dantian was empty, and the inner breath still could not gather.

The next day, early in the morning, the sister-in-law of the analysis family came to take a look and scrubbed him, there is no breakfast here, after the sister-in-law of the analysis family scrubbed him, hesitated, and finally went out without saying anything, and the straw curtain was never moved.

Time passed little by little, and when it was almost noon, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Someone was talking loudly outside, and after a while, the footsteps reached outside the grass curtain, and a pair of hands lifted the grass curtain, and someone probed in to take a look, and the person saw Xiao Yu, so he came in directly, and then another person came in, and the two carried Xiao Yu out.

The sun outside was very bright and warm, Xiao Yu couldn't help but close his eyes, the two of them put him on the ground, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw the blue sky.

"Good people don't live long, disasters will last for thousands of years, you kid won't die like this, God really doesn't open his eyes!"
