Chapter 51

In the early morning, Lu Yuan opened his eyes, staring at the curtains on the top of the bed in a daze.

What did that dream mean last night?The woman in the dream is so handsome!It's a pity that she doesn't remember what happened after she drew the sword.

"Hey, system, you won't come into my dream to tease me again."

"System: Host, please look in the mirror, why do you look like this? I don't blame you because you haven't woken up yet."

"..."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to get up, the door was gently pushed open, and Zhao Yu walked in with a basin of washing water.

"Master, are you awake?"

"Yu Niang, you can ask the servant girl to do this kind of thing."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he quickly got up, grabbed the clothes hanging on the shelf beside the bed, and put them on.

Zhao Yu came over naturally to straighten his crooked clothes.Originally, he was supposed to bring clean clothes to Lu Yuan, and asked Lu Yuan to change after washing.But Zhao Yu knew that Lu Yuan was afraid of trouble, so he let him go.

After getting dressed, Lu Yuan walked to the washbasin stand, scooped up the water with his hands and rinsed it carelessly, looking at the rippling washbasin, he was suddenly a little confused.

He stood there blankly until the water in the basin slowly returned to calm.

"Master? What's the matter with you, Master?"

"I'm obviously handsome, right?"

"Pfft~" Zhao Yu couldn't hold back, and punched Lu Yuan twice on the back, "Yes, young master, you are very handsome!"

Lu Yuan laughed, but his thoughts drifted to the Huaihe River thousands of miles away. The turbulent Huaihe River did not know when it would calm down.

……

Heavy rains have continued on and off for several days.God finally favored Zhu Liuyi, and Gou Sheng'er survived the heavy rain.At dawn, when the flood peak receded, Zhu Liu carried his son through the waist-deep depression and climbed up the hillside.

The rain was still falling, and the cold wind hurt his face.

A group of ragged people had already gathered there, huddled together in the wind and rain.

"There is food in Wei County in the south, everyone follow me." A thin, dark man climbed up and shouted, and the people followed him.More and more people gathered on the road, and soon it became a large team of hundreds of people.

"Da da, da da." Gou Sheng'er hugged Zhu Liu's neck tightly, his cold arms trembling slightly, "I'm hungry."

"Be good at the leftover dog. There will be something to eat when you arrive in the county." Zhu Liu comforted him weakly, but in fact he was almost unable to bear it himself.His feet had been soaked by the flood, and he had several wounds when he waded in the water. Now he looked down and looked white.

Holding the same belief, these people trekked for more than ten miles in the mud, and finally came to the gate of Wei County.

There were already many people gathered there, standing in black crowds in front of the city gate.Some of them brought their families with them, some had ruddy complexions even though they were down and out, and some were still carrying bulging packages.The situation is much better than Zhu Liu and the others.

Occasionally someone shouted at the city gate: "Hey, it's dawn, hurry up and open the city gate~"

Zhu Liu looked up, but the sky was still dark.However, this is because the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the time should have passed the time of Kaesong.

"The dog leftover, we're here." Zhu Liu shook his son on his back, but there was no response.

"Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng'er?" Zhu Liu hurriedly put down his son and held him in his arms.Gou Sheng'er's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his brows were furrowed and he was humming.

"You dog leftover, hold on." Zhu Liu raised his head, his gaze flicked to the front, and he saw a little man eating a pancake more than ten meters away.He hurried over.

"Brother, please do me a favor, sell me half a pancake!" Zhu Liu said eagerly.

The man immediately put away the cooking cakes: "The city gate will open in a while, buy it yourself!"

"My son is starving, please do me a favor, and I'll pay you ten cents!"

"No sale, no sale."

"Twenty Wen!"

"I told you I won't sell it. If you have money, go find someone else!"

Then the crowd suddenly cheered and the rain stopped.

Zhu Liu felt that there was light in the sky, and when he looked up, thousands of golden rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the dark clouds, and the entire city gate of Wei County was covered with a layer of brilliance.Immediately, he inexplicably had hope.

"Open the door~"

"Open the door~"

There were sporadic shouts at first, followed by a group of shouts.

But the gate of Wei County remained motionless.

A large group of soldiers began to appear on the city wall. A man wearing an official hat and a green robe walked up the tower and shouted to the people below the city: "Listen, people below the city. Wei County has been severely damaged and there is no food left. Leave quickly and don't stay .”

"What? Tell us to go? We won't go!"

"I'm also from Wei County, please open the door and let me in~"

"Master, please do me~"

"Natural disasters are ruthless, the imperial court has its own disaster relief means, you can go home and wait for rescue in peace, and don't gather crowds to make trouble!" The green-robed official is very young, but full of style.

There was a sudden commotion in the city, and for a while, the cries of children, the shouts of adults, and the sobbing of old and weak women and children were intertwined.

Zhu Liu was stunned, home?My home is long gone and my son needs to eat.

"Let us in quickly!!"

The people on the tower shouted again: "Nianer and others in this county are all citizens of Daxia. Give you some rations. You take them and leave quickly! Those who delay will be regarded as rebels!"

After all, more than a dozen soldiers dumped corn bread and other dry food to the city.

The people in the city immediately rushed up and looted wildly.

Zhu Liu was close, but he was stunned for 2 seconds before he came back to his senses.He didn't know where the strength came from, he hugged Goushenger tightly and squeezed away countless men and women, and managed to snatch two buns from under the feet of others with all his might.

He raised his head, hoping to drop something, but all he saw was a gleaming arrow.

"People in the city listen up, there is only one batch of dry food, take the dry food and leave quickly. If we delay any longer, we will shoot arrows!"

Zhu Liu didn't dare to dawdle, and hurriedly left with his son in his arms.

The leading black and thin man didn't believe it, and he shouted: "Quickly open the door, as a parent officer, you can't just ignore death!"

hum!
A feathered arrow was nailed one meter away from his feet, causing him to hold back the words behind him abruptly.

Immediately after more than a dozen arrows were shot down, people finally panicked and backed away screaming.Immediately, arrows rained down behind the crowd.

Individuals who ran slowly were shot to death.

The two teams that were originally distinct under the city gate got mixed up while fleeing, and people jostled and trampled each other.

Zhu Liu hugged his son and ran all the way before he ran out of the range of the bow and arrow.

At this time, he heard the leader shout again: "Whoever wants to live, fight me!"

With a sudden cry, some ragged people rushed at the people carrying their belongings and food, tearing and biting.

For a while, screams and curses could be heard.A stone's throw outside the gate of Wei County suddenly turned into a barbaric battlefield.Zhu Liu gasped and looked around, carefully avoiding his crazy companions, and picked up a hatchet in the chaos.

He was about to throw it away, but he suddenly saw that the little man who ate the pancake just now was crawling on the ground.

Zhu Liu's eyes narrowed, and there was a gleam of coldness...

 Dear book friends, I have been on a business trip recently, so the update is very late, and I apologize again.
