Chapter 186 Escape
“Sister-in-law, once things get chaotic, run outside as fast as you can.
No matter what method you use, as long as you can escape, you can escape." Uncle Wu said, suppressing his fear.
His legs and feet were already weak, and he patted the horse that had been with him for several days.
“Horse, horse, whether you can rush out depends entirely on you.
I beg you, I will make you a longevity tablet in the future."
He secretly fed the horse biscuits, although there was not much left.
But in the next life-and-death moment, only a well-fed horse could have the strength to lead their family to escape.
Liu vaguely understood what he said, but she bit her lip and dared not ask anything.
Tears fell even more loudly, and she held the horse's head and secretly fed it biscuits.
At the same time, some people came to their senses.
It turned out that they were pawns in the hands of the Northern Barbarians, and their final outcome was only death.
...
'Woooooo~'
The Northern Barbarians' horns sounded, and they pressed the refugees forward step by step with their sharp scimitars.
Everyone understood what was happening when they saw the refugees being greeted by volleys of crossbows and guns.
They were used as pawns by the evil northern barbarian soldiers to force the Northwest Army.
There is death on both sides, and there is his own country's army in front.
Refugees who don't want to die want to give it one last try.
Win, live.
If you lose, you will fall on your back.
Anyway, life on the run is not easy, so just die.
As long as there is one person taking the lead, this emotion will surge like a tide.
The refugees were separated like a tide, leaving a path in the middle.
A group of northwestern cavalry suddenly appeared, stabbing into the middle like a sharp knife, and went straight for the northern barbarian soldiers behind them.
The two armies were about to fight, and there was only one word at the scene.
chaos.
Lives were harvested one after another, and the earth was dyed red with blood.
...
The two carriages that were about to fall apart finally broke out of the encirclement.
The two horses foamed at the mouth, exhausted the last bit of their strength, and fell to the ground.
Uncle Wu and Mrs. Liu had no time to feel sad. They untied the carriage, tied it to their shoulders, and pulled it along like oxen.
Wu Chunhua, Wu Youtie, Wu Chunxiang, and Wu Chuntao jumped off the carriage and pulled and pushed it.
Wu Youyin and Wu Youli, who were unable to move, could only beat themselves helplessly when they saw their younger brothers and sisters helping to pull the cart.
Watching the refugees falling down in the distance, they were able to save their lives thanks to their fathers or mothers' desperate protection.
As much as Wu Youyin resented his mother in the past, he is as grateful to her now.
He finally understood that everything his mother did was for the good of them.
Although, sometimes it’s not the right way.
"Mom, I will never disdain you again."
Wu Youyin murmured to himself, tears streaming down his cheeks, and made a decision in his heart.
...
Less than one-tenth of the refugees escaped, as they were all intentionally guided to Nanshan by the government.
It is definitely impossible to allow these refugees to enter the city. The only thing we can do is to keep them away from the battlefield.
The two blood-stained carriages were not very eye-catching among the refugee group.
Because the refugees who were able to escape were either strong or had their own horse or mule carts.
In order to escape, many horses and mules died of exhaustion or injuries.
Pulling the carriage, they became a scene among the refugee group.
There were many people traveling all night with torches, and some refugees were tired and just found a place in the woods to rest or bandage their wounds.
"Erniu, let's take a break! I really can't pull it anymore."
Liu let out a long breath and leaned against the carriage, somewhat exhausted.
"I can't do it anymore, let me rest for a night before leaving."
Wu Erniu turned his head to look at the refugees behind him and said through gritted teeth.
He really admired his sister-in-law's behavior over the past two days.
He believes that many men cannot do this.
My sister-in-law can be called a heroine when it comes to her children.
The two families pulled the carriage into the woods and saw someone sleeping against a tree, so they carefully moved away.
We found a place sheltered from the wind and finally lit a fire.
As soon as the fire was lit, someone came over with firewood to borrow light.
Most people who ask for a fire will take the initiative to leave a handful of branches, but there are also those who are so shameless that they just borrow the fire and give nothing else.
As the fire was getting smaller and smaller, Uncle Wu was afraid of being retaliated against in secret.
I didn't dare to say a single strong word, I could only keep saying that the fire was about to be put out and I would not lend it any more.
Most people who borrow fire will carefully collect a few pieces of unburned charcoal and keep the fire in a jar.
It was freezing cold, and without a fire to keep warm at night, it was easy to freeze into a lump of ice in the morning.
...
Liu wanted to boil a bowl of hot water, and after searching around, she discovered that the pot in the carriage had a big hole in it.
The clay pot had long since broken into pieces, and only a rough bowl with a large crack on it was left of the bowl used for eating.
"Ha ha……"
Liu was so miserable that she could not even cry. Her strong psychological defenses collapsed at this moment.
She had been strong all her life, but ended up like this. She felt sad and bitter.
There is not even a man who can take responsibility around her, and the whereabouts of her husband and two sons are still unknown.
Having just experienced life and death, she could not see the road ahead.
"Woo woo, how can I live like this!"
"Sister-in-law, I have a small pot that you can use."
When Uncle Wu heard Liu's crying, his face twitched.
The sister-in-law's tall image suddenly returned to its original form.
"Woo woo, all the pots and pans are gone, God is killing us!"
Liu shed tears of grievance, the most important thing in the world is eating.
Even the pots and bowls for eating are gone, what else can I eat with?
Liu, who was crying with tears in her eyes, felt the touch of something solid in her hand.
Liu wiped her tears and found that it was a small copper pot, which she held tightly in her arms.
It feels like I have obtained a rare treasure and I can’t bear to let it go.
"Second brother, let the pot be with my sister-in-law."
Uncle Wu shook his head and stopped talking about the pot.
He rummaged around in the carriage and found a handful of dried wild vegetables.
"Sister-in-law, these are all the food I have. Make some soup for the children!"
When the men nearby heard that there was food, their eyes glowed green in the dark.
When they smelled the familiar aroma of wild vegetables, they withdrew their gaze and focused on the little food they had.
...
Two bowls with notches were turned back and forth in the hands of the two families.
The wild vegetables are black and you can’t tell what they are after they are dried.
There were one or two wild vegetables floating in a bowl of dark green soup.
Several kinds of wild vegetables are mixed together, and the soup cooked from them is a bit intoxicating.
But it’s definitely not delicious.
Uncle Wu brought a bowl of wild vegetable soup to the eldest brother, blocking the light from the fire.
He secretly put half a piece of cake into the bowl and whispered.
"Eat quickly, and then go to bed early."
Wu Youli wiped away his tears and finished his meal alone without even raising his head.
He knew very well that if he gave in now, the nearby refugees would only target them.
As soon as the refugees escaped, the first thing they thought about was food.
Don't think that just because we live and die together, we will always help each other.
Once someone is found hiding food, it will definitely be looted.
Who knows who is lurking in the darkness?
When it was time to go to bed, Uncle Wu used two carriages to block the three girls from the fire.
He looked at Liu and whispered.
"Sister-in-law, you watch the first half of the night, and I'll watch the second half.
With iron, you watch your sisters sleep and tie your hands together.
No one is allowed to get close to them, and they are not allowed to go out alone."
"Don't worry, Daddy. I will protect them."
Wu Youtie waved the thick stick in his hand, and if any bad guy dared to come, he would definitely blow his head off.
