Chapter 11 The Valley Thatched Cottage
Tens of thousands of people fled at the same time. Among them, in addition to refugees, there were also local residents of Jiankang. Each of them was unlucky and had no choice but to turn rashly among the panicked crowd. This was undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior. For the sake of his life, he could only follow the brigade to run outside the city.
The culprit Wei Feng, holding Xiaolan and Wang Man tightly, did not dare to let go. He immediately turned southeast after leaving Jiankang and ran twenty miles in one breath. The three talents collapsed on the ground like mud, facing the sky, gasping for breath!
After a while, his breathing gradually became smoother. Wei Feng couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Wang Man, you are really not a good-looking lamp! You have been reminded that you should not be yelling around, but you just... Alas~~ I shouldn't have been soft-hearted at the beginning, so I'm unlucky to get you in trouble!"
"You..." Wang Man seemed extremely aggrieved, his beautiful eyes turned red, and he was unwilling to say: "Why are you not human at all? My father was killed and I screamed and lost my voice. Isn't this human nature? What's more, I've run away from Jiankang? I'm not ignorant of making mistakes, you... How are you still here? I'm now alone, helpless, and you don't comfort me. You know how to blame me when I come up. I'm also in trouble and entrust myself to you. How can I live the rest of my life! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo ~ ~ "
As he was speaking, a sense of sadness surged into his heart. Wang Man rushed into Xiaolan's arms and cried bitterly, with the crying full of sadness and disappointment!
Xiaolan shook her head and said helplessly: "Langjun, don't blame your sister anymore. Sister didn't do it on purpose. No matter what, it was finally Jiankang. Next, Langjun, where are you going to take us?"
Wei Feng pondered for a moment and said, "To the east is the power of the Northern Prefecture Army, which is obviously seeking death. To the west is the Jingzhou Army. It is not suitable to be discovered. It is even more unsafe to cross the river to the north. Now he can only go to Kuaiji, where there are Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), Yuyao (now Ningbo, Zhejiang), Shangyu and other big cities. Let's first see if there is any chance to get into the army. As long as you can obtain military power, you will be afraid of everything!"
"Chi!" Wang Man snorted with a little nose, turned around and choked, "Weilang, you are only capable, I'm afraid you will be a sergeant for the rest of your life. Being able to be promoted to a team is considered to be your ancestor of the Wei family. If you don't have a background, it's not your turn to the master of the banner, and the princess of the state is even more dreaming in the daytime!
You still want to compete with the states and counties for the world? I advise you to calm down. I don’t want to be a widow at such a young age! I have forced you to promise that if you don’t take down the heads of Liu Laozhi and Sima Daozi, you won’t be able to make a living with you. Looking back, I am abrupt. It’s natural for my wife to serve my husband. How can I make a condition? In this way, the previous proposal is invalid. After I mourn my father for three years, I will fulfill my responsibility as a wife. During these three years, Xiaolan will serve you. You might as well take us to find a remote place and open a few acres of land to make do with your life."
Wang Man's words were filled with deep contempt. Wei Feng's face looked ugly for a moment. Xiaolan was even nervous and shook his eyes, indicating that he would not care. However, even if Wei Feng wanted to have an attack, he could not initiate it. Although Wang Man's words were very ugly, they were telling the truth. In the eyes of ordinary people, there was no way out for common people or deprived gentry to join the army. Take Liu Yu as an example. After being a soldier for more than ten years, he was just Sima under a general. He had a very bleak future.
For a moment, Wei Feng was in a very bad mood. He let out a heavy breath and then said angrily: "Okay! Wang Man, you said it well. Now I won't argue with you. Just open your eyes and look at it, Huh~~"
As he said that, Wei Feng breathed out again, obviously feeling so depressed that he was beyond replenishment. After a long time, he said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, get some dry food, let's fill our stomachs first, and then continue on the way."
"Oh!" Xiaolan responded softly. Wei Feng and Wang Man were like natural enemies. They looked at each other and didn't like each other. She couldn't imagine even if she was in the middle. She didn't know how to adjust this relationship, so she could only take out the food and divide it.
After eating silently, the three of them continued to walk south. From Jiankang to Shanyin, the capital of Kuaiji County, they usually took a water route. From Pogangdu to Jinling (Changzhou), entered Taihu Lake, and passed Zhejiang (Qiantang River). It was convenient and comfortable. However, Wei Feng took Xiaolan and Wang Man to take the land route, and Jinling was also the base camp of the Northern Prefecture Army. He dared not take this risk. The total land route was about 800 miles, and most of them were hilly and mountainous areas. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take at least half a month.
He took a few more rests in the middle, and before he knew it, the sun had gradually set westward. Looking at the continuous hills and mountains ahead, Wang Man felt sad. When will it be the end of the journey? He simply sat on the ground and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm exhausted, I'm so tired that my legs are about to break, and I can't walk at all!"
Xiaolan immediately sat next to Wang Man and looked at Wei Feng pitifully. Every step her feet were so painful that she couldn't leave.
Wei Feng also had a headache. In fact, he was also very tired. It was just that it was dangerous to spend the night in the mountains. In desperation, he ordered: "You sit for a while first, I will go up the tree and take a look, so I can find a suitable terrain and spend the night." After that, he climbed up the tree with difficulty.
The tree was trembling and very unsatisfactory. Xiaolan and Wang Man both held sweat in their palms. After finally Wei Feng climbed to the top of the tree and looked around. Suddenly, a cheer burst out: "There is a valley in the southeast, and there is a house there. It should be someone. Let's go and spend the night!"
The two women's beautiful eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, and Xiaolan called out, "Mr., come down quickly, be careful!"
"Yes!" Wei Feng nodded. With hope, his hands and feet became much more flexible and quickly slid to the ground.
Xiaolan was about to stand up, but she said "Oh!" and her face showed pain and she sat on the ground again.
Wei Feng asked quickly: "Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaolan gasped and said, "Xiaolan's feet hurt, I'm afraid she can't leave. My husband, please support Xiaolan."
Wei Feng helped Xiaolan up with heartache and smiled, "There is not far ahead. Come on, I will carry you over!" As he said, he carried Xiaolan on his back. Xiaolan felt a sweet feeling surged into his heart and hugged Wei Feng's neck tightly.
Wei Feng turned his head and called out, "Wang Man, why are you still sitting? Let's go!"
Wang Man immediately hated and annoyed, thinking that you would know that you were good to Xiaolan. I was still a real wife. He immediately frowned and said, "I can't walk anymore, and my feet hurt!"
"This..." Wei Feng looked at Wang Man carefully. Her expression didn't look like a pretender. As a high-school woman, it was normal for her to wear out her legs. She couldn't help but fall into a dilemma. If he had changed to his previous life, it would be no problem to carry two women on the mountain road, but her body was thin and weak. How could she bring Wang Man with her if she brought Xiaolan?
Wei Feng suggested: "Wang Man, why don't you wait a while and I will send Xiaolan to the entrance of the valley to pick you up?"
When Wang Man heard this, he gritted his teeth and immediately cried out: "Weilang, you are so cruel. What if a beast comes from this wilderness? Do you have the heart to leave my concubine alone? What if you throw Xiaolan at the entrance of the valley? What if Xiaolan has an accident? Look at me, you are a big man and two weak women are nothing. Humph! You are also talking about fighting for the world, and even your wife can't take good care of you, why do you have a family and country in the world?"
Wei Feng thought about this and the same reason, so he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand and said, "I'll carry you over!"
A hint of pride flashed through Wang Man's beautiful eyes. He took Wei Feng's hand and stood up, allowing Wei Feng to hold his buttocks, and then jumped hard, like a koala, hanging tightly on the man's chest.
Wei Feng suddenly felt his legs weak. According to the measurement unit of his previous life, Xiaolan should be less than 80 kilograms. Wang Man's body was plump and heavier, but it would not exceed 90 kilograms. It was at least 160 kilograms. His own weight was only about 120 kilograms! Thanks to his strong energy, he sat down without any hesitation. Wei Feng couldn't help feeling helpless in his heart, and he sighed secretly before walking towards the valley.
There is a beauty on the chest and a beauty behind the chest. Eliminating the fatigue factor, this should be very beautiful, but Wei Feng felt very difficult, because these two women are not fragrant, but fishy and smelly!
Wei Feng's mind was so shocked that he couldn't help but reminded him: "Wang Man, can you not stick to me so tightly? Do you know that it smells bad on your body?"
"Hmph!" Wang Man snorted coldly: "Didn't you do this by Wei Lang? Why do you dislike me? You know it's bad, right? What should I do if I have smelled this disgusting smell since last night? No! I have to let you taste this taste, and smoke will kill you!" As he said, Wang Man turned his body harder and wrapped Wei Feng's neck tighter than before.
Wei Feng could not imagine that he had to walk forward with deep and shallow feet. When he finally came close to the house, he hurriedly put down the two women in a hurry. He couldn't bear it anymore. He gasped for several consecutive breaths and looked forward. The door of the house opened, and at a glance he could see that there were spider webs and dust inside. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
The three of them looked at each other, and Wei Feng laughed and said, "This saves time and there is no need to disturb the master's family. Let's spend the night here tonight."
"Yeah!" Xiaolan and Wang Man helped them in. This was a thatched hut with wisps of light on the roof. Except for a large bed and simple furniture, the rest of the decorations in the house were taken away.
Next, they came to the dining hall next to them. What made them feel relieved was that the stove, pot and clay pot were there. Wang Man looked at Wei Feng and quickly said, "Weilang, can you go to the nearby stream to make some clear water and pick up some firewood? I and Xiaolan want to wash your body."
