In the mountain forest ten miles away in the south of Bazhou, the red lady was climbing in the forest with a small cloth package on her back. Because she made a big mistake and was confessed to marry by Ma Xiaoshan like that, she was ashamed. She found that her immaturity had brought a lot of trouble to Zhu Jun's leaders, so she simply left The family ran away.
With her dexterity, she can travel in the mountains and forests without getting hurt. She can pick some wild fruits and hunt wild animals without worrying about going hungry. In addition, after traveling around rivers and performing arts for many years, I have already become accustomed to sleeping in the open air, so sleeping at night is not a problem. I can just find a treetop and huddle up inside.
¡°But she lacks the most necessary ability for trekking in the mountains and forests, which is to identify the direction.
After leaving Zhu Jun's camp, she wandered around in the mountains and forests for more than ten days, but she still didn't get out of Daba Mountain. There were bursts of shouts of killing everywhere. I quickly climbed to the top of the cliff and saw that it was Zhu Jun who was fighting with the officers and soldiers again. The banner of "Zhenxi General Zhu" was flying on a hill. There were many officers and soldiers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. The soldiers of the Zhu army were fighting. The flags raised by the officers and soldiers were General Fang Guoan and General Luo Yushen. The officers and soldiers of the two armies had very good combat effectiveness, and they exchanged fire fiercely with the Zhu army
Looking at the valley on the other side, the flag of Cao Cao's Luo Rucai department was also fluttering in the wind, and the one fighting him was Bazhou defender Zhang Zuokai.
Not long after, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king of Xiying, emerged from the ravine in the north. The officers and soldiers were joined by the commander-in-chief Zhao Guangyuan, He Renlong, and Li Guoqi. The entire Daba Mountains became a war zone. Soldiers from both armies retreat while others advance. The fight was not enjoyable, and the red lady was very excited. She just wanted to rush forward to help, but when she thought of Ma Xiaotian's excited eyes, she was a little discouraged. In fact, Ma Xiaotian had already married the little mute at this time and held a simple wedding in the army. If she went back, no one would say anything, but she didn't know.
Fortunately, with the efforts of the two monsters Zhu Jun and Zhang Xianzhong Army, the officers and soldiers were soon at a disadvantage. The commander-in-chief Fang Guoan and the staff general Luo Yuxin were quickly defeated by Zhu Jun. He Renlong and Li Guoqi's troops were also defeated and retreated under Zhang Xianzhong's crazy attack. Zhu Jun rushed out of the ravine at extremely fast speeds. Attacking Bazhou City directly, it seems that we are sure to win.
When the Red Lady saw Zhu Jun's victory, she no longer considered rushing to help, and quietly reached the battlefield next to Cao Cao's Luo Rucai Department. He took action and killed several officers and soldiers who had fled. It can be regarded as doing one's best for the overall situation. Then carrying her small package, she sadly got into the forest.
Only now did she know that her position was still between Guangyuan and Bazhou, since Zhu Jun rushed towards Bazhou. With Zhu Ba's hand, the mere state city must be destroyed instantly. Her current position is still within the power of Zhu Ba's army. Guangyuan is to the west and Bazhou is to the east. Going north is definitely not possible. Because she had to walk back to Shaanxi, she looked towards the south Unfortunately, the direction in the mountains was not always accurate. Not long after walking, she lost her way again and wandered around in the ravine.
After being lost in the mountains for a few days, she unexpectedly found a small wooden house in the mountains. There was a stream flowing behind the house and an acre of mountain field in front of the door. Since it was early spring, no crops had been planted in the field yet. There was only one The woman is digging the ground with a hoe. The woman's body looked very weak, and her movements of wielding the hoe looked very unfamiliar, not like a farmer.
The red lady walked over and said hello: "Sister, my little sister is lost in the mountains, please give me some directions."
The woman from the field turned around and revealed a pretty face, with a white complexion and excellent temperament. She really didn¡¯t look like a peasant woman at all. The red lady couldn't help being stunned She had never seen a farmer's wife look like this.
The woman obviously understood what the red lady said and replied: "Where are you going, sister?" When she opened her mouth to speak, she spoke in an authentic Shaanxi accent, which made the red lady even more stunned. If this woman spoke Sichuan dialect, or It's not surprising that he spoke Mandarin, but he spoke in Shaanxi dialect. This is really weird.
The woman obviously saw the strange expression on the red lady's face and said shyly: "Sister, don't be surprised. My family escaped from Xi'an and are not locals."
"Escaped from Xi'an?" The red lady was so surprised that she forgot about asking for directions: "Xi'an is a good place, why didn't you stay in such a good place and came to this hilly place?"
The woman smiled softly, said nothing, returned to the house, and helped a man out. This man was wearing a scholar's robe and looked quite knowledgeable, but he was obviously sick and could not walk. No wonder this family It was a woman who farmed the fields, but he, a man, stayed at home.
He bowed to the red lady and said, "You're polite, young lady. I was born late and my surname is Du. This is Zhuojing. We, the couple, had no choice but to escape here from Xi'an. The past has passed."Yes, but there is no need to say more" It turns out that this person is Du Shan. When he and Miss Ma San escaped from Xi'an, they fled south. Du Shan used tricks along the way to avoid many pursuing Zhu Jun soldiers. , deceived the officers and soldiers guarding the customs, and easily escaped into Sichuan, where he ran a simple small home in the mountains southeast of Guangyuan, where he lived in seclusion with Miss Ma.
He was stabbed several times by Ma Ershao, but did not receive timely treatment. His blood vessels were injured, and his lower body was a bit sluggish. He is now half disabled, but he and his wife have a deep love for each other, and Miss Ma San does not dislike his disability. , took the initiative to take over the farm work. Their lives were extremely difficult, but they also lived happily and healthily.
The red lady is a daughter of the world, not the kind of woman who cares about others. After hearing what he said, she didn't ask any more questions. She just said curiously: "Xi'an is really a good place. General Zhenxi manages Xi'an in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. General Zhenxi returned the courtesy to the virtuous corporal and was very courteous to the scholars. You are obviously a scholar. It is a waste to come here. I think, if you don't have any reason to escape, you might as well go back to Xi'an. Maybe you can stay in Zhenxi The general's men are just trying to make ends meet. It doesn't seem good to be huddled in the mountains like this, relying on your wife to farm"
Du Shan had a look of shame on his face, but Miss Ma San immediately held his hand tightly. The two looked at each other and smiled, which relieved Du Shan's embarrassment. Du Shan cheered up, smiled at the red lady and asked, "I heard that the girl praised Xi'an very well. Do you think you have been there?"
The red lady nodded: "I just came out of Xi'an not long ago."
Du Shan asked: "Have you ever heard of a um rice shop, Majia Rice Shop? How is it now?"
If he had asked about other rice stores, Madam Hong would probably have been confused. But she asked about Majia Rice Store. Because of Ma Xinyu¡¯s presence, Majia Rice Store was very familiar to Madam Hong Kong. It can be said that Majia Rice Store was very familiar to her. Mihang is the most familiar company in the world. She smiled and said: "Majia Rice Store has changed its name now. It is now called Zhenxi Rice Store. It is the official rice store of General Zhenxi."
Miss Ma San's expression darkened, and Du Shan also frowned. Both of them had mistakenly thought that Zhu Ba had already snatched away Ma's rice. Miss Ma San couldn't help but let out a long sigh and murmured: "Zhu Ba took away my Ma family's old house, took away my second sister-in-law, and now he has taken away Mi Xing, alas" She spoke so softly that Lady Hong didn't hear her.
Du Shan asked: "Girl, do you know that the boss of Mihang, um, a businessman named Ma Zhixiong, and his son Ma Xinyu, how are they doing now?"
The red lady felt strange in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you ask this? Are you acquaintances of Ma Zhixiong and Ma Xinyu?"
Du Shan laughed dryly and said: "I'm not very familiar with them. I was favored by them in the past, so I just asked."
The red lady did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "They are living well. Ma Zhixiong has now become the big shopkeeper of the government-run grain store under General Zhenxi, and the whole Shaanxi Province wants to sell him three points of face. As for Ma Xinyu, he is in Zhenxi Being an official under General Xi, um I don't know what kind of official that is, but he writes and draws on paper every day."
"Huh?" Du Shan and Miss Ma San looked at each other, both surprised. They thought Zhu Ba had killed someone to seize the property, but unexpectedly, things seemed not to be what they thought, and both of them cheered up.
The red lady said: "Why do you keep asking questions? By the way, I am going to the south!" Then she remembered what she was here for.
Du Shan and Miss Ma San were not willing to let go of this source of information easily. The two couples looked at each other, and Miss Ma San quickly said: "Miss Hong, it is difficult to travel in the mountains. If you don't mind, you can rest here tonight. By the way, tell us about things outside the mountain, but the two of us haven¡¯t seen anyone outside for quite some time.¡±
The red lady is a daughter of the world, so she didn't show off. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't know why, but I feel friendly when I see my sister. It's just right to live here." She didn't understand that Miss Ma San's appearance was different from hers. Ma Xinyu is somewhat similar. Although the red lady doesn't feel it, as long as a stranger's eyebrows and other subtle details are similar to someone she knows, it is easy to give people a sense of intimacy.
She came close to Miss Ma San and talked happily about things in Shaanxi.
Du Shan and Miss Ma San listened attentively, especially about those acquaintances. They listened very attentively. The red lady talked happily, and when she got into the gossip mood, she talked about everything. She even told everything about the relationship between Zhang Yingxian and Zhu Ba that she had heard from Zhang Yingxian.
After the story was told, Du Shan and Miss Ma San couldn't help but look at each other. They really didn't know that the story of "Zhu Ba kidnapped the second sister-in-law" developed like this It had already been like this, so why bother to escape from Xi'an in the first place? It would be nice to take root in Zhu Ba. With Du Shan's rich literary skills, it might be possible to find a way out of Zhu's army.?It can save Miss Ma San from the pain of farming in the past few years.
