A poor son 19

There is a small mechanism on this bow and arrow, which saves effort and has a long range.

So, this arrow penetrated the man's throat. As the blood spurted out, the man fell straight down. The people around the shore quickly retreated and looked from afar, but they never dared to approach him again.

The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong in surprise, and saw her hands shaking constantly, and said, "It's okay! You're doing a good job."

In fact, Lin Yutong's hands are exhausted. Even if it saves effort, it is a difficult thing for a girl who only picks up needles and leads them.

When he arrived on the shore, the Fourth Master helped Lin Yutong out. This wooden barrel could not be thrown away. Whether it was an object for placing things or firewood for ignition, it was useful.

As soon as the two stood firm, a eleven or twelve-year-old boy ran over and kowtowed to Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master, "The young master and the girl killed that evil man, and they were the little benefactors, and the little one was never refusing to be a cow or a horse."

The strange child made Lin Yutong feel alert.

The Fourth Master whispered: "Raise your head."

The child raised his face, with tears on his face, and he turned his face into black and white. The child had a pretty face, and he had read books after hearing and speaking.

The Fourth Master pointed to a young man of seventeen or eighteen on the other side, "Come here, I will ask you a few words."

The young man was a little nervous and it took him a long time to move over.

"Do you know this child?" asked the Fourth Master.

The young man nodded, "He is the son of the Xiucai family, named Cheng Feng. We are all from Xiaogou Village." He said, pointing to Wang Yang not far away, "Then is our village." He turned around and pointed to the dead, "This man is a butcher in the village, and everyone is afraid of him. He ruined the Xiucai wife and killed the Xiucai Gong. The Xiucai wife also hit her to death..."

Cheng Feng clenched his fists with both hands and cried whimper.

Then he turned around and picked up a stone and smashed it hard according to the head of the dead butcher.

Blood splattered on the child's face, like Shura.

Lin Yutong sighed, natural disasters are terrible, but sometimes this human heart is even more terrible than natural disasters.

The scholar and his wife did not die under the flood, but died in the hands of people. Why don’t they make people sigh?

Lin Yutong looked at Cheng Feng and felt that this child was really a clever boy. Knowing that his child was not easy to survive in such a world, he quickly found a big thick leg to hug him.

Cheng Feng didn't get up until he was tired of falling and knelt at the fourth master's feet again, "Cheng Feng is willing to be a slave, please accept it."

The Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong before nodding, "Get up. If you want to follow, follow."

Being loyal or not is never a problem. If you can afford what he wants, he will be loyal.

The Fourth Master said to the young man who was standing aside and still, "Tell a few people to bury the dead bodies that appeared around, whether human or animal, deep and bury them. Otherwise, there will be a plague next spring."

This is more effective than anything else. Everyone started to move.

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong then sat on the tree stump and asked Cheng Feng, "Where is this place now? Why don't you find a way to the county town?" What's the use of blocking here, relying on the attackers who came ashore to grab the rations or killing a few animals who wanted to get ashore?

Cheng Feng squatted aside and called the Fourth Master, "Master, you don't know anything. Less than twenty miles further, it is Changyun County. But we have to guard the heavy army and not be allowed to enter. We have no choice. Because the village is not far away, we always think that the water will recede and go home. Therefore, most people have never left."

"How far is there to go from Changyun County to Beijing? Have you ever heard of it?" asked the Fourth Master.

"Five days! You can get there in five days." A trace of gloom flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, "Two years ago, my parents took me to see the doctor. When I came back, I spent all my money and we came back."

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong looked at each other, and it was really not far away. A couple who were not very strong took their children to travel for only five days. If they were young, they would only take three days to go by sooner or later. If they had a fast horse, it would probably only be one day.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, you have already packed up." The young man just now came to report to the Fourth Master.

It seems that in the troubled times, most people are not stupid and know how to hold the strong.

The Fourth Master glanced at the young man and said, "Call the Fourth Master from now on."

The young man was shocked and found that the Fourth Master was not that scary, so he quickly bowed, "Little Wang Wu, I have seen the Fourth Master."

The Fourth Master stood up and took Wang Wu to the waterside, asking him to take someone to dig a hole by the waterside, then put charcoal in to purify some of the water.

Lin Yutong understood the Fourth Master’s meaning. The two of them were rushing to the road, after all, they were a little lonely. If there were really a few people willing to follow, they just thought it was an increase in momentum.

She was not idle either. This place was not only in a hurry to get ashore, but also in a small animal.

Lin Yutong took an arrow and a fat rabbit fell down. Immediately afterwards, there were more than a dozen field mice, several snakes, and finally, a big black dog.

These things are stewed and boiled into soup, which is enough for them to have a meal.

"I'll ask someone to deal with it. Don't squeeze when eating. The elderly, children and women are all part of it." Lin Yutong ordered Cheng Feng and stopped caring.

Cheng Feng didn't like these people, but he went anyway.

Lin Yutong understood his mentality. After all, when his parents were in trouble, no one extended a helping hand.

But this is how people seek benefits and avoid harm. It is human instinct.

During the meal, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master refused, "We ate some dry food in the morning to hold on. Save a bite." In fact, the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong couldn't eat such unclean food.

Cheng Feng had a rabbit leg. This was the first meal he had eaten in the past few days.

At night, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were sleeping in a different way. Cheng Feng was lying by the bonfire at the feet of their men and slept very heavily.

When it was almost dawn, the Fourth Master also woke up. Lin Yutong then whispered to him: "I asked Cheng Feng, my parents, brother and others, and they didn't dock here." There were no people in the Lin family either.

The Fourth Master nodded, "There are many forks along the road. Maybe we will float to somewhere. We should still rush to the capital as soon as possible."

When it dawn, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were ready to leave.

Wang Wu and four people looked like they were seventeen or eighteen years old, "We are willing to follow the Fourth Master." At least they would not starve to death along the way.

The Fourth Master nodded lightly, "Then let's go."

After walking for more than ten miles, Lin Yutong took out the cake from the bag behind her and gave a large piece of it.

"Master, I have to find a way to get some food." Lin Yutong whispered.

At this moment, the few people hid in the woods for dinner because there were disaster victims along the way. They couldn't rob anyone if they saw food. It was not just empty talk with two fists.

"Further forward, it's the county town." The Fourth Master pointed to the city wall in the distance, "Let's go and have a look first."

Less than two miles away, there was a vast crowd in front of me. They were all waiting here for the county town to open the door or the county government to open the warehouse.

Someone in the crowd was saying, "I heard that Shunping County has been rebelled. If you open a warehouse and release grain, even if you die, you will be a slaughter... After eating well, you will sleep with the concubine and lady of Master Guan's family. Even if you are a ghost, it is worth it..."

There was actually a response.

The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. It was almost one day before the capital. It has been so many days since I didn’t even have a saying to provide disaster relief. The situation is getting worse and worse.

Lin Yutong sighed at these people. No matter what the situation in the court is now, whoever dares to rebel now will die the most miserable death.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against Qin, but they were suppressed. Then Xiang Yu and Liu Bang overthrew the Qin Dynasty.

The Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao was suppressed, and then the world was in chaos and the Three Kingdoms were in power.

There are countless examples of this in history, and Lin Yutong knows it, let alone the Fourth Master.

"Let's go!" The Fourth Master turned around with his people, and could not hang out in these sticks. Otherwise, he would be implicated sooner or later.

If you can't go to the city to get food, the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong hunt all the way. Now this prey is not easy to catch, because the grassroots and bark along the road have been lifted down.

But at least the few people who follow him will not starve to death.

The Fourth Master was also silently observing everyone's temperament.

This trip took three days. On the evening of the third day, I arrived outside the capital.

The city gate is closed, so it is also difficult to enter. Outside the city gate, there are thousands of people gathered. Lin Yutong looked at it and felt frightened.

If this conflict occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As we walked along the way, we found that the affected areas covered most of the two provinces. The victims were still pouring into the capital.

The Fourth Master went around for a while before he went around the north gate. He didn't see any words outside the city wall. He took down the arrow and engraved a "Yin Si". Lin Yutong stood in front of the Fourth Master, blocking everyone's gaze.

After the Fourth Master finished carving, the two of them brought their people into the crowd.

"What should I do? Master." Cheng Feng felt a little anxious as he looked at the crowd around the city.

The Fourth Master glanced at the direction of the city wall and said, "Don't worry, wait till evening."

At night, there are always people who want to make extra money. As long as the price is paid, nothing is a problem.

As night falls, the crowd slowly becomes restless. Women can often hear screams and crying and scolding.

The night covers up the sins well.

The Fourth Master grabbed Lin Yutong's hand and patted her gently, telling her not to be afraid.

The sound of clappers sounded in the city, and it was midnight.

The Fourth Master opened his eyes and Lin Yutong woke up.

He woke up the people who followed him and quietly moved to the city. Soon, he put down a hanging basket on the city wall, and a middle-aged man with a beard stood inside, "What price can you pay?"
