They walked for a long time without seeing anyone.
Without even seeing a bird, the group found a forest to set up camp. This place should be in the Guangshan area. Compared with other areas in the Central Plains, the planting conditions here are better and the food output is higher.
But as we walked all the way, we saw only dead grass half as tall as a man in the fields.
It seems that no one has cultivated the land for a long time, so Yuan Shayi went to the stream not far away to get water.
Several piles of bonfires were lit, and Asura took out a few bird eggs from somewhere and brought them to Shu Yan like a treasure. Shu Yan saw the nest of eggs.
"It's really hard for you. You can still find something to eat in such a situation."
Cheng San came over and said, "If we really can't find anything to eat, we can dig out mouse holes. In winter, mice hide a lot of food."
They don't have enough food to starve to death now, but if they go further down, Jiangnan will be in the same situation, which may be a big trouble.
Bai Guichen walked up to Shu Yan and said, "Don't worry, godmother. We don't have food. Someone will bring it to us."
Shu Yan's eyelids twitched, but she had forgotten that there were pursuers behind them.
A few people rested here for a few days and then started on their way again.
On the road in winter, the wheels were changed a lot. Fortunately, all the people in this group were in good health, and no one fell ill.
After walking for another half month, they finally arrived at the Huai River. After crossing the Huai River, they went to the south of the Yangtze River.
Cheng San originally wanted to cross the river directly, but he and Shu Yan insisted on going near Sui County, and they walked for another seven or eight days.
Shu Yan wanted to find someone, and Bai Guichen wanted to see someone.
In the early morning when they arrived at the boundary of Suixian County, Bai Guichen left on horseback alone, saying that he would be back at sunset. Shu Yan didn't say anything, and she took Cheng San to the county seat of Suixian County.
They took the risk and took the official road. Shu Yan thought that there would be no one in Sui County, but when they arrived outside the county town, he saw that the entire county wall had been smashed, and there were almost no living people in the city.
Cheng San said to Shu Yan: "Godmother, this is a dead city. Who do you want to find?"
Shu Yan let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's go."
Shu Yan turned his horse around and prepared to leave the city. When he walked out of the city gate, he saw a crazy old woman standing on the official road, her feet bare even in the cold weather.
Shu Yan hurried forward. The crazy old woman seemed to be waiting for her. Shu Yan got off the carriage and walked to the crazy old woman.
"who are you?"
The crazy old woman took out a scarlet bead from her arms and stuffed it into Shu Yan's hand.
"unimportant."
After the crazy old woman finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Shu Yan could hardly believe his eyes. The old woman disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Cheng San frowned slightly.
"I have never seen such a master, godmother, have we seen her before?"
Shu Yan looked at Cheng San and whispered, "When we first came to Sui County, we met her and it was she who gave me the bunch of copper coins."
"Then she is..."
"She is Our Lady of White Lotus."
Cheng San was suddenly surprised. He touched his chin and said, "My godmother really has a good memory. The statue is dark, and this crazy woman is also dirty. You can see it."
Shu Yan rolled his eyes.
"You kid, get out of here quickly. We still have to cross the river quickly."
Shu Yan quickly took Cheng San to the camp. As soon as they arrived outside the camp, they heard Xing Feng shouting: "Are you serious?" Shu Yan's eyelids jumped when he heard this. Xing Feng saw Shu Yan After that, he hurriedly said: "Superintendent, the pursuers are here."
Shu Yan didn't have time to dismount, so he said to everyone: "Hurry up and pack your things and go find Bai Guichen."
The group of people rushed to Xiaozhou's cemetery. Bai Guichen was indeed here. Shu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said to Bai Guichen, "The pursuers are coming."
At this time, it was the dry season of the Huai River, and there were not many boats on the entire Huai River. They brought many horses with them, but the prepared boats were not enough, so they had no choice but to leave some horses and cross the river with difficulty.
After crossing the Huaihe River, Shu Yan stood on the bank and saw many people gathered on the opposite side. The leader seemed to be Chen Yunqing, the eldest son of the original owner.
It was just a blurry silhouette, but Shu Yan recognized it at a glance.
Cheng San patted Shu Yan on the shoulder and said softly: "We can get rid of them when we leave Jiangnan."
Shu Yan sighed slightly and stopped looking at the pursuers behind him.
"Let's go quickly, it's best to get rid of them."
Shu Yan and others traveled for three days and three nights, and finally got rid of the people temporarily.
After all, the south of the Yangtze River was better than the north. At least some people could still be seen. They found a small town, had a good day's rest with supplies, and then hurried on their way.
Frequent traveling took a toll on Shu Yan's body. She was much thinner than before. Bai Guichen originally asked Shu Yan to take a carriage, but Shu Yan found it too bumpy to ride in a carriage, so now he had to take a carriage.
Ashura also followed Shu Yan and got into the carriage.
Shu Yan originally felt it was very bumpy, but after bumping around, he actually felt used to it.
Shu Yan fell asleep in the carriage and actually had a dream. It seemed to be something that happened when the original owner was young. It was probably some fragments of the original owner giving birth to Chen Yunqing.
It's very trivial, but it can still be seen that the original owner loves his eldest son very much.
When Shu Yan woke up, he rubbed his head with a headache. Asura sat in the car and looked at the sunset in the distance.
They are almost arriving in Hangzhou.
Shu Yan's heart trembled. This was the beginning of her journey through life. Cheng San rode towards Shu Yan. He whispered, "Godmother, do you want to stop when you get to Hangzhou?"
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and she said, "I want to go back to the Chen Mansion."
Now this place belongs to the King of Han, so she is not worried that Chen Shengzhi's people will arrest her blatantly.
The group of people arrived outside Hangzhou.
All they saw was a tall city wall standing in front of everyone, surrounded by green trees, and many people and passers-by walking in the streets.
Shu Yan was stunned. She remembered that it was not like this when she escaped from Hangzhou.
Bai Guichen said to Shu Yan: "The official here is a talented person. He has managed the Hangzhou area very well in two years."
Shu Yan only brought Bai Guichen and Cheng San into the city, while the others waited outside the city.
Many Han army flags were erected on the streets, and many soldiers patrolled. Hangzhou was the most prosperous commercial center in Jiangnan, so the Han army naturally attached great importance to it.
Cheng San couldn't help but said: "If your nephew can occupy this place, then your son will be able to enjoy happiness by following you. I heard that the most famous people in Hangzhou are famous prostitutes..."
Shu Yan slapped Cheng San's head aside.
"There are no dangerous points to defend in Hangzhou. If we occupy this place, I'm afraid our heads will be hung on the city tower within three months."
Cheng San chuckled. He saw the candy cakes bought on the roadside and bought a lot of them. While eating, he said some nonsense in front of Shu Yan. (End of chapter)
