Huangzhu Mountain, where everyone is going, is fifty miles away. Even if it is a strong man walking through the mountains and forests, it will take a day or two, not to mention that there are a large number of old, weak, women and children among Li Xuan's people, and they still carry handbags on their shoulders.
Many possessions.
This walking speed cannot be increased at all.
Fortunately, no officers or soldiers caught up with us, and we didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way.
They walked this way for three days before they arrived at the Huangzhu Mountain they called.
Huangzhu Mountain is not a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, nor is it a giant peak that is thousands of feet high. It is just a low hill, hidden deep in the mountains and not conspicuous.
But what is quite strange is that this hill is covered with yellow bamboos.
From the flat land at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the bamboo forest is as neat and dense as the crops in the field. The bamboo forest sways gently with the majestic wind in the mountain, making a rustling sound.
"This is Huangzhu Mountain. There is a flat valley at the foot of the mountain over there. We used to live here. We moved to the valley outside five years ago!"
"However, although we have moved most of the people away, there are still many people staying here to take care of the fields!"
At this time, Qian Mengjiu introduced the situation of Huangzhu Mountain in front of Li Xuan: "The bamboo forest on the mountain is covered with bamboo shoots every winter and spring. Digging them up and frying them on a plate is quite crisp and delicious."
Li Xuan was not interested in the green bamboo forest, nor was he interested in whether the bamboo shoots were delicious or not. He was more concerned about whether local officers and soldiers would come looking for him.
If it didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to find and raise troops to attack, then he would have to make other plans early, such as planning to escape again, and he escaped in the past few days.
Yes, until now, Li Xuan still has not given up his plan to part ways with Liu Bagou and the others!
Because he knew that staying with them would lead to death sooner or later.
It's just that Fang Dongquan and the others are obviously on guard against him. This can be seen from the few bandits he sent to follow Li Xuan every day and never leave three feet away. These bandits pretend to be protecting him, but in fact
It's surveillance.
So escaping from this place may not be that easy, and you have to take it easy.
After walking for about an hour, everyone went around the foot of the mountain and arrived at the southern foot of Huangzhu Mountain. After arriving here, Li Xuan found that this place was really suitable for living.
First of all, although the area of the flat land at the foot of the mountain is not large, it is extremely flat. It looks like a small plain, and there are several small streams flowing through it, making the place extremely suitable for growing rice. Those few
Small streams merge into a river in the distance.
Even though the river in the distance cannot be compared with any big river, it is still seven or eight meters wide, but I don't know how deep it is.
The river has been flowing south, and I don't know where it is going.
There are many wooden houses built at the foot of the mountain, some of which are still intact, while others are dilapidated. It is obvious that some of the houses were abandoned after Fang Dongquan and the others left with most of the people.
After arriving here, a group of mountain people who stayed here also quickly greeted them. Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and others began to direct people to clean up the houses and settle down.
Naturally, these things were not Li Xuan's fault. He, Mrs. Bai, Dong Yunyun and others were taken to a large wooden house to rest.
After entering the house, Li Xuan was not in the mood to pay attention to what Liu Bagou and the others were doing, but looked at Dong Yunyun first.
Dong Yunyun was in a very bad condition at this time. Although she had been carried by several old ladies in turns in the past two days and took the medicine prepared by Qian Mengjiu, her illness never recovered and she looked even worse.
It's serious.
After letting Pearl touch her forehead, Pearl said anxiously: "Miss's forehead is still as hot as yesterday!"
Dong Yunyun, who was already lying on the bed, looked pale and barely smiled at Li Xuan: "I'm fine, I'm much better!"
Li Xuan looked at her like this, seeing that her face that was still pretty only two days ago had become thinner, and he couldn't help but feel pity.
Although strictly speaking, he and Dong Yunyun had not known each other for a long time, only six or seven days, and they had no feelings for each other.
But when I saw a beautiful woman who was originally in good health and was an actress, fell ill in front of me, and the situation was not that optimistic, even an ordinary person would not be in a better mood.
It's all Liu Bagou's fault, Fang Dongquan and the others. If they hadn't messed up, they wouldn't have robbed Dong Yunyun, and there wouldn't have been an escape that made Dong Yunyun fall ill.
It’s all thanks to this damn era, there’s no cold medicine to take even if you have a fever or a cold!
It has been more than ten days since he came to this era. Li Xuan has never had a good impression of this era, let alone a favorable impression. He even deeply hates this era.
In his previous life, he had also read many novels in which the protagonists traveled to the Ming Dynasty. Nine out of ten of those novels described the Ming Dynasty as an unprecedented beautiful era. They either played with the sentiments of talented men and beautiful women, or roamed the court.
Punch the Tatars and kick the barbarians.
But after Li Xuan came to this era, he didn't feel any beauty. In his opinion, this era has no redeeming features.
This is an era when countless farmers do not have enough to eat, and many poor people either fall into the hands of bandits or have no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests to survive.
This is an era where even a minor illness such as a cold can kill a strong man.
This is an era where most people don’t know how to brush their teeth, or can’t afford to brush their teeth, and the stench when they open their mouths can kill people.
He hates this era!
If he were Pangu and had a huge ax in his hand that could open up the world, he would not hesitate to split the entire world into pieces, and then slowly piece it together to form a new world.
If he were a great man like Taizu and Napoleon, he would break the shackles of the world and bring the glory of civilization to the world.
It's a pity that he is just an ordinary person, just Liu Bagou, a mountain valley emperor who was forcibly raised by Fang Dongquan and others.
He couldn't even escape from this place and get rid of his current predicament as he wished.
He felt pity for Dong Yunyun, and he felt even more sad for himself!
Seeing the pitiful look on Li Xuan's face, Dong Yunyun didn't know why the man in front of her had such an expression. Could it be that he was worried about himself?
But why is he so concerned about himself? Although he has met with him, hasn't he already agreed that this is just acting? Could it be that he takes her seriously and regards herself as his wife, so is that why he is worried?
But if you look closer, you can see that Li Xuan is quite handsome. If... if...
Thinking about all the messy what-ifs and possibilities, Dong Yunyun's pale face slowly showed a blush, then she closed her eyes and stopped looking at Li Xuan beside the bed, but various possibilities were still floating in her mind.
