Chapter Fourteen: Kind Mother and Son

When they were leaving the territory of Qizhou, Sanniang's pony was stolen.

She stood stupidly at the city gate for a long time. A lady's carriage passed by. Seeing her pity, she asked her where she was going. It happened that the lady was also going to the north, so he gave her a ride.

This lady's name is Shen Qiaosu. She is very beautiful, gentle and gentle. She has a four-year-old son, who is as pink and tender as a glutinous rice dumpling. Every time Sanniang sees it, she wants to take a bite to see how good it is. It doesn't taste good.

"These are for auntie to eat."

The little guy may have noticed that Sanniang, the weird aunt, wanted to take a bite of him, so he took the initiative to take out all his snacks and gave them to her reluctantly with his little eyes.

"Thank you Xuanxuan." Sanniang rudely put everything into her little cloth bag without leaving a single particle behind. The little guy looked at his mother aggrievedly.

Not even leaving any for Xuan Xuan.

Shen Qiaosu had never seen such a cute and innocent girl. Thinking of such an innocent girl going to the North alone, would her family know? It would be okay if she was abducted, so she asked tentatively: "Sanniang is going to the North?" What to do?"

"I'm looking for my husband." Sanniang liked this mother and son and was not defensive at all.

Shen Qiaosu was startled, seeing that she had a petite face and was dressed like a girl who had not left the palace. She also wondered if she was looking for her father, but she didn't expect that she was also looking for her beloved.

What a lovely and brave girl.

Shen Qiaosu wanted to say something else, but the carriage suddenly staggered, slamming them against the wooden board of the carriage. She hugged her son tightly, gently opened the corner of the carriage curtain, and saw a group of people in high-end costumes standing outside. The men in black were all holding bows and arrows, with cold eyes, and the driver who was driving the carriage had been shot under the hoof of the horse with an arrow.

"Master ordered that those caught alive should be seriously injured and unethical."

Shen Qiaosu's face changed suddenly, knowing that she was here for their mother and son. She looked at her son nervously, and then looked at Sanniang guiltily for causing her trouble. As if she had made a lot of determination, she put her son in the In Sanniang's arms, she whispered: "Get down and hold on to the carriage." After saying that, she opened the curtain and walked out.

When the men in black saw her coming out, they all stared at her with cold eyes.

Shen Qiaosu didn't get off the carriage, her eyes glanced at the coachman under the hoofs of the tragically dead horse, and she glanced coldly at the men in black surrounding the carriage. In an instant, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and pierced the horse's butt quickly and hard. , and then hurriedly grasped the reins of the driver and shouted "drive".

The horse was in pain, jumped up and screamed with its front hooves, and wildly pulled the carriage towards the man in black. The man in black at the front had no time to dodge, and was stepped directly under the horse's hoof, and his body was torn apart. The others were frightened and hurriedly ran away to both sides.

The leading man in black was angry and yelled: "Fire arrows!!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen sharp arrows were shot at the carriage. Shen Qiaosu's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the reins.

Looking at the disappearing carriage, the man in black who took the lead had a sinister look on his face and said fiercely: "We can't let them run away, chase them."

The carriage ran wildly for who knows how long, and finally stopped at a three-way intersection. Shen Qiaosu, who had been hit by an arrow in her vest, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Sister Qiaosu." Sanniang saw it and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with the little one in her arms.

Shen Qiaosu's light green clothes had been stained with blood. Sanniang helped her up and leaned against her. When she raised her hand, her palm was already red.

The arrow penetrated directly from Su's back to her chest.

Such a gentle woman could not bear to say a word during the whole journey.

"Mother, mother, don't scare Xuanxuan." The little guy knelt next to his mother, his little face full of tears.

The arrow pierced the back of her heart. Shen Qiaosu Neng felt that she would not survive. She looked at her youngest son with sadness, held Sanniang's hand tightly, and begged in a trembling voice: "Help me... help me..." In one sentence Before he could finish speaking, large mouthfuls of blood poured out of his mouth.

"What can I help you with? Speak slowly, I, I will take good care of Xuanxuan, I..." The dazzling blood stung Sanniang's nerves, and more forgotten scenes gradually became clear, and her gaze became clearer. Not that stupid.

"elder sister……"

Tears rolled down uncontrollably, and Sanniang seemed to see her sister's appearance when she died. The endless pool of blood stained her white clothes red.

Shen Qiaosu looked at her gratefully, and with difficulty took out a piece of half-moon from her arms. Tears fell down her cheeks. She no longer had the strength to speak, "Look for..."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for..." Before she could finish her words, her arms dropped weakly, and she finally closed her eyes with regret.

"——Mother"

She is dead.

This woman with gentle features on her face finally left with full of regret.

The bright red blood made the young child cry sadly, which made Sanniang's head hurt. She wanted to cry, but her voice was so choked that she couldn't make a sound. Knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, she could only look at it with red eyes and lower her head to gnaw the grass. The horse looked at the three forked roads again, got up and slapped the horse on the butt, and the horse dragged the carriage and ran away towards one of them.

"Xuanxuan, you are a good boy. Be obedient and follow me closely."

She knew it was cruel not to comfort a child who had lost his mother at this moment, but compared to dying here, she couldn't care so much. Sanniang gritted her teeth and carried Shen Qiaosu's body on her back without taking any road. I took the little guy into the woods on the edge.

Just after taking two steps, I thought of something and hurriedly kicked some dead leaves to cover the bloody footprints.

The little guy was taught very well by Shen Qiaosu. Although he was very sad to lose his mother, he is a smart and strong child. His little hand tightly held the corner of Sanniang's clothes and helped to cover the dead leaves.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the two left, the group of men in black caught up with them. Looking at the pile of blood in the middle of the fork in the road, they frowned and said in a cold voice: "The troops are divided into three groups, chase!"

Sanniang took the little guy to find a small cave in the forest. After making sure that there were no wild animals inside, she placed Shen Qiaosu's body on the big stone inside. With the four claws of her and the little guy, it was impossible to If you can dig a hole and bury her properly, you won't be able to carry her body all the time. You can only bury her here first and collect her bones later.

Sister Qiaosu, don't worry, I will take good care of Xuanxuan.

"Xuanxuan, I have a bad memory. You have to remember this place. We will come back to collect your mother's bones in the future and take her home." Sanniang laboriously moved stones one by one and blocked the entrance of the cave bit by bit. .

"Xuanxuan remembers it."

The little guy's eyes were red, and he took a deep look at his mother for the last time, as if he wanted to carve the last appearance of his biological mother into his mind. After nodding firmly, he sensibly kowtowed three times at the entrance of the cave, choking with sobs: "Mother, Xuanxuan will definitely come back to take you home, just wait for Xuanxuan."

He will definitely come back to pick up his mother.

After blocking the entrance of the cave, Sanniang took some dry soil and dead branches and leaves and covered it. After making sure that the steep slope was not a shallow cave, she found a strong tree nearby and marked the root of the tree with a stone.

.In this way, even if she and the little guy forget it in the future, as long as they can find this mark, they will definitely be able to find the place.

"Let's go to the north." She held the little guy's hand.

"Auntie, Xuanxuan no longer has a mother."

"No, Xuanxuan still has me. I will take good care of Xuanxuan for your mother." If these words were said a few months ago, Sanniang might not be able to take care of herself, so how can she take care of others? Okay.

Now, she also recalled a lot of the past.

It was also at this moment that the little guy burst into tears.

Sanniang hugged him distressedly, feeling sad in her heart.



At the border of the Northland, a grey-faced young woman with a gray cloth on her head and a coarse linen clothes on her body was leading a little girl who was also grey-faced and dressed in linen clothes and with two buns on her head. She looked disgusted.

Looking at the loess wall in front, the three characters "Huangsha City" were almost covered by the sand and dust.

“Mom, it’s so poor here!”

"Don't talk nonsense, people call this desolation."

"Oh!" The girl nodded and said, "Mom, this place is so poor and desolate!"

"..."

I can't refute it. It is indeed poor and desolate.

Several pedestrians passing by gave the mother and daughter a strange look, as if they thought they were poorer and more desolate.

These two people were none other than Sanniang and the little guy.

A month ago, after the two left the woods, Sanniang found that those people were waiting at the city gates. As long as it was a beautiful lady with a boy, those people would always take out a portrait to compare. And at the city gate

The officers and soldiers seemed to be afraid of them and actively cooperated.

Sanniang took the little guy to hide by the stream and took a photo of it. She felt that she was quite beautiful and could not go there too blatantly. So she bought two pairs of coarse clothes from a passing peasant woman and gave the little guy two pricks.

A little girl wore her hair in a ball bun, grabbed a handful of grass mud and smeared it on her face, a perfect combination of a country mother and daughter.

The journey went quite smoothly. The little one was very cooperative at critical moments. He changed his name to her mother on the way and continued to call her mother that way.

Because they were well disguised, the journey was relatively safe. It wasn't until they saw the gate of the northern border city that they relaxed.

Sanniang didn't know where Wei Ci was, but she was sure to go to the garrison to find him.

After entering Huangsha City, Sanniang grabbed a big and sturdy lady and asked, "Sister, how can I get to the military camp?"

"Why are you looking for a military camp?" The eldest sister said in a bad tone. She looked at her warily. Seeing that she was a young woman with a child, she felt that she was not a Qiang person, so her face became slightly kinder.

"My husband is joining the army in the north, and I brought my children to see him."

"Is your husband a soldier from the North?"

"Yes." Sanniang nodded.

Hearing this, the eldest sister's eyes instantly became amiable when she looked at her.

"Sister, you've had a hard journey. Wait a minute, I'm going to buy some thread, and I'll take you there later. Oh, by the way, what's your husband's name? Maybe I know my man."

Uh, why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden?
