Chapter Seventeen: Movements at Night

Xu Chunshan expanded his consciousness in all directions, and all he could see were refugees lying on their backs, one after another, thick and black.

Ten miles, dozens of miles, hundreds of miles ahead, ten miles, dozens of miles, hundreds of miles back, they are all refugees, so dark that it is scary to look at them.

There are at least tens of thousands of people fleeing the famine.

The old man still thinks that after leaving Yunzhou and entering Qingzhou, he can have food and drink. Looking at it like this, Xuan Na.

Not knowing how far it was to Qingzhou, Xu Chunshan pulled his consciousness further forward, wanting to go hundreds of miles away to see the situation in Qingzhou, but he could only see within five hundred miles. If he tried to look further, he felt exhausted.

stand up.

He was so frightened that he quickly cut his eyes away and took a moment to recover.

It seems that this golden finger requires a lot of energy, right?

Xu Chunshan was already exhausted, so he didn't dare to look further. He didn't see anything. He fainted first and would have to be carried away tomorrow.

If that were the case, the old man would have no choice but to leave him on the spot.

Xu Chunshan sighed, bent his legs, rested his elbows on his knees, rested his chin on his palms, and relaxed in a daze.

Sitting next to him was Uncle Zhang's youngest son Zhang Sanlang. He always played well with Xu Sanlang. Along the way, Xu Sanlang walked with him when he wasn't in charge of pushing the cart. The two of them whispered to each other.

A lot of words.

Zhang Sanlang was always amazed when Xu Sanlang told them what happened at Landlord Wang's house that night. He had long wanted to ask his uncle in person.

Seeing that there would be an opportunity tonight, the two of them happened to be vigiling together. Zhang Sanlang rolled his eyes and came closer, "Uncle, are you really going to knock down a bunch of people with a hoe? Are you as brave as the general in that play?"

Xu Chunshan rolled his eyes and looked at him. He had been traveling for the past two days to find out who belonged to these people. His son had already identified all three of them. It was almost the same, and he could get the number right.

Xu Chunshan liked this kid a little bit when he saw it, and the most important thing was that he looked a bit like his wife.

It's surprising to say that the appearance of their family of four here is almost the same as before, and the daughter-in-law's name is also the same.

Although my daughter-in-law was originally a pair of siblings on their side, but here she is two brothers, the nephews born to these two brothers are more or less similar to my daughter-in-law.

My nephew, Aunt Xiao, this is also reasonable.

Although he may not be familiar with his nephew who looks like his wife, Xu Chunshan naturally feels close to him.

Then he answered him very gently, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Sanlang was even more surprised when he heard his uncle respond to him in a good voice. In his memory, this uncle had a bad temper. Even when he came home to pay New Year greetings, he would quarrel with his father and his second uncle even if he drank two mouthfuls of cat urine.

Yes, he looks quite out of character anyway, but he never has a good relationship with juniors like them, and he almost ignores them.

I heard that my aunt, uncle, and cousin were all subdued by Grandma Xu and changed their tempers.

He also heard his father and second uncle murmuring that if they had known that a beating would help them get better, they should have started beating him a long time ago. Think about it, how much saliva was wasted in the past?

Looking at it like this, Zhang Sanlang couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"Sanlang said, uncle, you were so awesome that night when you went to Wang Landlord's house! You killed everyone with a hoe, and you were so majestic! Uncle, are you so good at fighting? Can you teach me when you have time?"

As an uncle, you teach your nephew to fight?

The corner of Xu Chunshan's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help but smile, showing the kindness of his elders, "Okay! Uncle, I'll teach you when I have time!"

Boys and so on, they just want to play together, and after playing, they become close buddies.

It is still necessary to build a good relationship with your daughter-in-law's nephew. After all, he is your uncle.

Uncle Zhang has a hot temper, and Zhang Sanlang, he and Zhang Dalang have grown up under sticks since childhood. This is the first time that they feel that elders like fathers can be so peaceful and like peers.

Zhang Sanlang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Okay! I'll wait for my uncle to teach you!"

Uncle, uncle, also has the word "father"!

He finally understood Saburo's sudden admiration, and he also liked his current uncle!

The young man was very lively, and he recovered quickly after losing his strength. After sleeping for the first half of the night, Zhang Sanlang was not sleepy at all, but was in high spirits. Seeing that Xu Chunshan was easy to talk to and close to him, he kept talking to him.

Endless.

Xu Chunshan was still answering questions at first, but gradually his throat started to burn. He silently licked his lips and swallowed a small amount of dry saliva. Seeing that Zhang Sanlang was still talking vigorously, he also had a headache.

"Sanlang, is your mouth dry?"

Zhang Sanlang, who was talking enthusiastically, was stunned for a moment, and then he licked his lips and said, "Fuck."

"Uncle, how long do we have to walk to get to Qingzhou?"

The farthest place he has ever been is Dongping County. He has never even been to Wuning Prefecture, let alone another state.

Xu Chunshan doesn’t know either.

But he didn't say he didn't know, he just said: "It's probably going to be when you don't even bother to open your mouth to say a word."

Zhang Sanlang, like Xu Sanlang, is a talker, and not speaking can be fatal.

When you are too lazy to say a word?

Zhang Sanlang thought for a while and felt that he couldn't figure it out.

Are there times when he is too lazy to talk?

The young man couldn't figure it out, but when he saw that his uncle didn't want to open his mouth to speak, he understood the idea and silently closed his mouth. He took a piece of grass and played with it in his hand to pass the time.

Seeing that he was finally quiet, Xu Chunshan grinned silently.

It is already around two o'clock in the night, which is also the time when people sleep the deepest.

Xu Chunshan set his sights far away, intending to scan the surrounding area to see if there was any movement. If everything was calm, he could also take the opportunity to close his eyes and take a nap.

Northwest, north, northeast, east...south...southwest...west...slowly shrinking from far away.

etc!

Xu Chunshan's eyes paused and locked tightly on the woods due west, about five or six miles away from them.

A dozen black figures were doing something quietly.

Xu Chunshan quickly moved his gaze closer, and could see clearly in the deep night.

These people are stealing people's dry food!

Yes, I guess I figured it out during the day, and it was better to stop and step on it in the evening. These people did not miss the mark, moved in an orderly manner, and were very slippery. After passing through, they met at the bottom of the slope deep behind.

The dry food bags that came into my hands were piled up into a small mountain.

Xu Chunshan couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could vaguely see their mouths moving in disbelief, and their movements were very exciting.

Then, he sat down on the spot, opened the bag and started to devour it. He seemed to have stolen a water bag, and drank it in big gulps.

Exploring further in the next direction, Xu Chunshan saw several sneaky figures in the dark night.

There are those who steal dry food and water bags, and there are also those who steal mules and cattle.

In the woods about twenty miles to the southeast, several people were stealing cattle, but the men of the family were alarmed. Immediately, they shouted, and the familiar villagers jumped up, and a fight broke out in an instant.

It's messy, it's messy.

Xu Chunshan looked around and couldn't help but hesitate.

Fortunately, the area within three or four miles of them was quite peaceful and peaceful, which made him feel relieved.
