Chapter 35 It seems like an old friend has arrived
The little boy opened his eyes, and what he saw was Bai Zeqing, who was dressed in a green Taoist robe and holding a carriage pedal in his hand.
Bai Zeqing helped him fight as usual.
"It's you!" The little boy was pleasantly surprised, and pushed the fainted middle-aged man away with all his strength, climbed up, and straightened his appearance which was impossible to do.
"Stop being so pretty, Zhou Qian."
Bai Zeqing heard the cry and opened the car curtain, and saw the middle-aged man smashing the bowl and walking towards the boy. She happened to know the boy and was very familiar with it. He was the child that the wife had brought with her since childhood. She didn't have time to think too much about it and quickly let him go.
The driver stopped the car, grabbed his pedals and rushed over.
She stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go!"
Then he saw a little girl running over and holding the little boy's hand, looking up at Bai Zeqing with a tear-stained face.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Qian said, leading the little girl to the bridge and handing her his half bowl of porridge, "Nanny, eat."
The middle-aged man on the ground let out a painful groan. Bai Zeqing pulled Zhou Qian up and said, "Let's go!" If nothing else happened, her sea arrest documents were still posted all over Yuanzhou. She didn't dare to cause trouble here and get caught by the officers and soldiers.
Caught.
Zhou Qian was caught by Bai Zeqing, and he quickly grabbed the little girl's back collar with one hand, and shouted while following him: "Bai Zeqing, please slow down, Nannan, you can eat later, don't choke... eh eh..."
…
The carriage drove slowly towards the east city. The driver was still a little shocked: This little girl is so courageous. She rushed over with her pedals and hit people!
To keep a low profile, the Xuanyuyuan prepared an extremely ordinary small carriage, which was not as good as the Huo family's large carriage. The interior of this carriage was a bit cramped.
The little girl huddled in the corner and ate her porridge seriously. Seeing that her hands and feet were stiff from the cold, Bai Zeqing untied the cloak she wore to cover her appearance and wrapped it around her thin body. Then she pulled the thin blanket from the corner and threw it to Zhou
latent.
Zhou Qian was looking at her, and both of them were in a daze that they couldn't explain.
"Where's the Master?"
"Where's Yafu?"
They both asked at the same time and sighed at the same time.
Zhou Qian pushed the thin blanket slightly, raised his chin, and said, "You cover it."
Bai Zeqing said: "I'm not cold. I'm not as weak as you!"
The corners of Zhou Qian's mouth turned up slightly, and he stopped being polite to her. He pulled out a thin blanket and wrapped it up, saying, "You can still live, so my father-in-law will be fine."
Bai Zeqing: "???"
Why does this sound so off-putting? This unforgiving self-proclaimed scholar must have done it on purpose!
"Why are you here?"
The two asked again in unison, and then rolled their eyes together.
"It's a long story." They spoke together again.
Bai Zeqing slapped him on the shoulder: "Long story short."
Zhou Qian gasped in pain and almost burst into tears. Qi Qiran said: "I have more than a hundred families, and the world is in chaos. There is no news about the survivors, and the dead are dust and mud."
Another slap on the same spot: "Speak carefully! Who asked you to memorize poetry?"
Zhou Qian cried out in pain, but before he could say anything, the little girl threw the bowl away, crawled over and pushed Bai Zeqing hard: "Don't hit my brother!"
"Brother?" Well, she turned out to be a villain. Bai Zeqing asked with a black line on her forehead, "Who is this little girl? When did you get a sister?"
"Oh, Bai Zeqing! You are a little girl, can you please stop taking action at the slightest disagreement?" Zhou Qian looked at Bai Zeqing pitifully with tears in his eyes.
"What little girl, I'm older than you!" Bai Zeqing also patted her hands smoothly, touched her nose with a little embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject, "I'm asking you, who is this?"
Zhou Qian said: "I don't know her. Her grandmother took her to escape from Tongzhou and met her on the way to Yuanzhou. Her grandmother is gone, so she is the only one left."
Along the way from Tongzhou, the refugees either starved to death, died of illness, or were shot dead by Quli stragglers they encountered. Only a few of them survived to Yuanzhou. Zhou Qian didn't want to say more and asked, "How dare you
Walking all over the street? Your sea fishing documents are everywhere."
"Why are you walking all over the street? If I hadn't saved you, I wouldn't have gotten off the carriage. I'm going to Huo's house."
"Are you taking refuge with your eldest sister?" Zhou Qian asked.
Bai Zeqing was sad: My eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law were drinking at my house that night on New Year's Eve. Now I don't know whether I will live or die...
She felt depressed in her heart, shook her head and said nothing.
Zhou Qian guessed something, his eyes became darker and he said no more.
The carriage was quiet for a while.
After a long while, Zhou Qian suddenly smiled and said: "I was quite happy when I saw your sea fishing document on the other side of the city wall."
Bai Zeqing gave a low "hmm" and then raised his head: "Huh? Why, are you happy that the government wants me?"
"Hahahaha, yes!" Zhou Qian smiled with crooked eyebrows. When he saw Bai Zeqing raising his fist, he quickly shouted "Hey!" to admit his mistake. Then he came closer and looked at Bai Zeqing seriously and said: "At least I can be sure that you are still alive. Really.
OK!"
Yes, it’s great to be alive! Bai Zeqing’s heart was a little clenched.
"It's okay." Bai Zeqing touched his head.
"Hey!" Zhou Qian hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it and said, "My father said that men and women cannot be intimate! Don't touch my head every now and then!"
Bai Zeqing simply slapped him on the head, "Child, why do you accept and accept without kissing me?"
"I'm not a child!" Zhou Qian scratched his head and retorted.
"Don't hit your brother!" The little girl's cheeks were bulging, she looked a little angry, and her eyes were wide open on her small face.
"Okay, no more fighting." Bai Zeqing nodded and asked her, "What's your name?"
"Nanny." She replied.
Zhou Qian came a little closer to Bai Zeqing and whispered: "I have asked before. Her father is a soldier, fighting in the field, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. His mother was shot and killed by Qu Suliu's arrow. Her grandmother left her food all the way and protected her.
When the refugee team arrived in Yuanzhou, they couldn't hold on any longer. Her family called her Nannan and didn't give her a name at all."
Bai Zeqing felt sad. When she was as old as a little girl, she was playing in the water and climbing trees under the care of her family. Her only worry was that she ate less candy and did more homework.
She said to Zhou Qian: "Suddenly I thought of something the Master often said..."
"People are suffering!"
The two spoke in unison again, but no longer smiled as knowingly as before.
Zhou Qian leaned his head on the wall of the carriage somewhat sadly, swaying as the carriage moved forward, and murmured: "The sufferings of the people cannot be complained to the superiors. If the people's hearts are distracted, the trouble will be great..."
The little girl had been paying attention to Zhou Qian. At this time, she patted his back with concern and looked at Bai Zeqing: "Has sister eaten? Brother is hungry."
"Be patient, we can eat whatever we want when we get to Huo's house later." Bai Zeqing tightened the cloak for the little girl and said to Zhou Qian. After a pause, he said worriedly: "The prefect is dead, the official warehouse is not opened, and the refugees don't have enough to eat.
If we can’t survive, and if someone takes the opportunity to stir up trouble, chaos may ensue.”
Zhou Qian smiled and said: "This is what I am most worried about these days. Don't tell me, when I was so hungry, I even had the idea of grabbing a few steamed buns to satisfy my hunger."
Bai Zeqing thought deeply and said slowly: "After all, we still have to find a way to solve the food problem first."
"Bai Zeqing." Zhou Qian suddenly called her.
"Huh?" Bai Zeqing looked at him.
Zhou Qian's head was still leaning against the car wall. He looked soft and soft. He looked at Bai Zeqing with crooked eyebrows and said, "I'm really happy to see you! I'm really really happy! Very, very happy!"
His voice was soft and serious.
The tip of Bai Zeqing's nose suddenly felt sore. He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the window. After calming down for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Me too. I'm very happy to see you."
Those who survive live in vain, while the dead will live forever!
