A Yao has been going through this journey so hard.

A weak girl with seven or eight children. Although Baoer is always helping, it has been hard to travel a long distance...

I don’t have to worry about hard work, the key is that I have less and less food.

Since entering Hebei Road, it is really devastated and desolate. I often walk hundreds of miles and cannot see people. Even if there are villages, there are only broken walls and ruins left.

The flowers blooming in spring often mean that the green and yellow flowers are not connected.

What is the green and yellow connection?

It seems that you understand this word when you mention it, but few people can say it.

The so-called green and yellow do not connect means that the seedlings have not yet grown, the wheat has not turned yellow, and it is still a long way from the harvest season. However, the old grains last year have been eaten up.

This is called "Green Yellow" not meeting!

There was no food at home and the fields were not mature. The ancient people were so pitiful that they suffered such a crime almost every year.

It is very common to starve people to death during the days when the weather is not acceptable.

Since entering Hebei, even the official roads have become much more difficult to walk. Due to the disrepair and the few pedestrians, the official roads in many places are covered with weeds, and beasts are always on both sides of the roads.

A Yao took the children carefully to travel, and even if she met a village, she would not dare to stay in the room.

Because they once found an old man who was starving to death in a small village, the kind-hearted A Yao dragged her tired body and dug a hole to bury the old man. However, a few days later, she encountered a village and found that there were people who were starving to death in the broken walls.

The bodies were already smelly, and I don’t know how long it had been starving to death. Since then, I met A Yao, a villager, and didn’t dare to go in. She was afraid that the children would get infected with the plague.

It is difficult for later generations to understand how terrifying it was to not meet the green and yellow in ancient times. Countless families with no food died of hunger, which was actually the most cruel massacre in the world.

A Yao sometimes muttered to himself and said sadly: "I used to know that Brother Li Yun was from Hebei, but I didn't know that Hebei was so poor that he looked so poor. The fields were deserted and covered with weeds and no one planted them. Brother Li Yun... He has lived in this place since he was a child. No wonder he often said that he must have enough food first as a human being. He must be very hungry every day when he was a child..."

...

This is the case with Hebei Road, where the fields are deserted and lack people.

Looking at all dynasties, this place has been a place where wars are flooded, either foreign invasions or internal struggles.

For example, during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China during the Jin Dynasty, Hebei was the worst hit. During that period, the people of Hebei were called "two-legged sheep", which was the grain that foreign tribes barbecued on sticks.

After finally suffocating until the end of the Five Barbarians, Hebei Road finally hoped for the rise of the Sui Dynasty. As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui went on an expedition to Goryeo, and the number of poor people was one million...

Hebei Road is in trouble again!

Because it is closest to Liaodong!

Since we are closest to you, who will you recruit if you don’t recruit the civil servants?

So the people of Hebei Province continued to suffer.

Later, the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse, and they thought they could escape from the dire straits. As a result, all the anti-kings in the world started to stir up wars and fight to death in order to compete for the Central Plains. Among them, Liu Heita, the anti-kings leader of Hebei Province, led his men to fight with the Li family for many years.

Fighting tough battles sounds passionate, but the suffering is still the common people. In those big battles in Hebei Road, almost nine out of ten families were killed. Even though the Tang Dynasty had been established for ten years, Hebei Road still had not recovered its vitality.

Even Li Shimin felt guilty and often sighed to the sky, saying, "I have killed too much in Hebei. If I have the chance, I should make up for it..."

Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty is currently very poor, and the emperor is willing to make up for Hebei but lacks strength.

...

A Yao took the children to a long journey, almost exhausted, but the tough girl gritted her teeth and struggled to support her. She did not dare to let the children see that she was tired.

Every night, she would raise a bonfire, then hold the fire with a stick, staring at the night with a vigilant look.

The children sleep sweetly next to the bonfire. These little guys will never know how hard their sister A Yao has secretly worked hard.

All these difficulties and hardships A Yao could tolerate, but what she couldn't stand the most was the lack of food.

The old man before had given an idea to go to the inn to buy food every two hundred miles. It was okay at the beginning, but it gradually stopped working.

It’s not that those stations are unwilling to sell, but that there is no grain stored in the stations.

The postmen themselves had to go to get wild game to satisfy their hunger, so there was no extra grain to sell to passers-by.

After a closer look, I realized that it was not that the court did not pay the salary, but that the salary was used to help the poor. Whenever the young and old people were not accepted, the post station was always filled with people fleeing famine. These people were generally hungry and gangsters were about to fall. As long as they were not given the salary, they would starve to death in the blink of an eye.

The postmen on Hebei Road have to help the people every year, which has caused their own difficulties, but they cannot help because they are all local villagers. The postmen are usually from local people, and they are reluctant to watch their hometowns starve to death in front of them.

It is because of this reason that A Yao has enough money but cannot buy food.

Even if you can occasionally buy some food at a certain inn, you will soon be surrounded by hungry victims...

These victims have no strength to snatch them, and will only kneel on the ground and cry. How kind is A Yao so heartful? With her personality, how can she not save her?

So the food I bought disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Because she was busy with money and could occasionally buy food, more and more victims followed her, and gradually formed a small team of more than 100 people.

This made A Yao even more tired.

Because the people who follow her are the elderly, weak, women and children...

She not only has to take care of the children, but also the elderly and the weak. It is also because she is tenacious and can resist such hardships.

...

Along the way, the most vocabulary A Yao listened to was Fanyang City.

In the past, the people fled to Chang'an, but now the people fled to famine, have another new choice.

"We have a city on Hebei Road, called Fanyang City..."

A white-haired old woman muttered to herself with longing, and she was holding a bundle of dry firewood in her hand, which she had just picked up from the foot of the mountain.

The old woman threw the dry firewood into the bonfire, then sat next to A Yao in panting. Her face was still full of longing and kept nagging: "There is a city on Hebei Road, called Fanyang City. The people there can eat full every day. There is a prince there, who is the prince of our common people."

A Yao reached out and handed a wild vegetable dumpling and said softly: "Anime Sun, take a bite."

The old woman obviously swallowed her saliva, but did not go to pick her up, just said, "We have a city in Hebei, called Fanyang City, girl, you must stick to it..."

The sound became lower and lower, and gradually became a little light. Suddenly, my body tilted and fell softly to the ground.

A Yao was shocked and reached out to help her, but unfortunately she felt dizzy and she had no strength on her body.

At this time, the old woman's breath was extremely weak, and suddenly there was strength again. She stretched out her dry palm and grabbed A Yao tightly.

She suddenly became quicker, as if she was afraid that she would not finish speaking, but her voice shouted with a struggle, saying, "Girl, you must persist. There is a city on Hebei Road, called Fanyang City..."

There is a prince in the city. He is the prince of our common people. He will make us full and all the children will be full!

Unfortunately, the old woman couldn't say this last paragraph.

Her turbid eyes were closed.

I was hoping to reach Fanyang City before dying.

A Yao cried, afraid of disturbing the sleeping children, so she covered her mouth with her hands and kept saying in her heart: "Brother Li Yun, Brother Li Yun, I can't hold on anymore, A Yao really can't hold on..."

The bonfire was crackling, barely dispelling some darkness, but the howling of wolves not far away, and some green eyes were constantly shaking.

A Yao quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, then picked up a stick from the ground. She stood up with difficulty holding the stick, looking at the dark night with vigilance.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a movement in the distance, and A Yao was suddenly panicked. She tried hard to raise the stick, but her delicate body trembled slightly.

Tak, Tak!

The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was the very heavy footsteps. A Yao was about to scream and wake up the old, weak and weak women and children, but suddenly a gentle voice sounded and whispered: "Don't be afraid, girl, it's me."

The bonfire illuminated the darkness, and someone walked out of the dark night. A Yao was stunned at first, then looked hot and said in surprise: "Entertainment Father, have you caught your prey?"

The person who came was the strange old man. He was dragging the corpses of two colorful tigers behind him. The strange old man walked straight to the bonfire, raised his hand and put the corpses of the two tigers on the ground, and said with apologies: "Only hunting these two ends, you can barely last for three days. Hebei Road is too poor, and the people ate wild game clean. I searched in the mountains for two days before I found these two tigers..."

A Yao was very surprised and stared at the tiger on the ground with an incredible face and said in surprise: "Did you kill the tiger?"

The monster old man shook his head and said, "I picked it up!"

"Picked up?"

A Yao was a little confused.

The old man coughed and said, "It was a trap taken by hunters in the mountains. He killed these two tigers and happened to be discovered by his father. I tried my best to drag it back."

In fact, there are obvious loopholes in this statement.

Let’s not talk about how the tiger comes from. Just to drag it back, you have to have hundreds of kilograms of strength.

Unfortunately, A Yao only thought about having food and was not worried about anything else. She looked anxious and looked at the tiger, worried about how to slaughter the meat.

At this time, the strange old man saw the old woman on the ground and suddenly sighed lonely and said, "The old man died, keeps his mouth for food, for his offspring and for his children. This should be Sun Anime. He said a few words to her for his father a few days ago."

A Yao was checking the tiger's corpse at this time. Hearing this, he suddenly felt sad again and said in silence: "Among Sun must have lied to me, and she must have not eaten the dish dumplings in the morning."

The strange old man looked self-blame and murmured softly: "If I could come back a while ago, she would have eaten tiger meat. Oh, one more starved to death, and one more starved to death! Human resources are sometimes poor, so what if the world is invincible? Rescue the people by power, not a bad old man like me who considers himself powerful..."

His voice was extremely low, almost talking to himself between his teeth.

A Yao was sobbing in a low voice, so she couldn't hear it clearly for a while.
