Chapter 1744: All the way north
Riding a horse all the way north, the more north, the more stragglers, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the long hairs are the south and the court war, those stragglers in order to avoid the war, will have been to the north, because the north is closer to the capital, where relatively speaking, will be a lot safer, the north of the people are also relatively rich, at least will not starve to death.
See more, Wu Feng this moment has been somewhat numb, began to learn to turn a blind eye, but some things can always touch the softest place in the heart, he still inadvertently able to see a few yellow skinny stragglers, in order to fight for a piece of the ground are not dirty half a pull of the steamed bread, fight the dead, head broken and bloody.
Will also see the wild dogs will be dead people dragged to a corner to swallow the flesh and blood.
Will also see many small children at the side of their parents while talking about hunger, while crying their voices.
When Wu Feng saw these children, he always wanted to share what he had with them to eat, but Old Liu Tou said no, signaling Wu Feng to look towards the long line of stragglers behind him, and said indifferently: ''You don't want them to be even more miserable than they are right now, so you should share what you have, and when the time comes, not only will they beat many people to death in order to snatch something to eat, but those starving stragglers will also surround us in a circle, and we won't even be able to walk. surrounded in a group, we can't even walk out, and our horses can be eaten by them."
Wu Feng could only endure, this silent endurance drove Wu Feng crazy and yet he still had to endure, who could be blamed for all this? The biggest culprit was today's imperial court, letting the common people live in poverty and struggling in the midst of water and fire, but those big lords who were in charge of the government didn't care about these people who were about to starve to death.
Fortunately, this miserable scene, did not continue to last too long, as the two fast horse, see more and more fewer stragglers, is to see some, but also did not look so miserable.
This way, the two of them have been traveling at dawn and night, can find a place to store, will spend silver to live in the store, good food and drink, after all, Wu Feng is now also a landlord, with a few thousand two silver bills and Guo Dacheng gave some loose silver.
When there is no inn to live in, the two can only make do for one night in the middle of nowhere.
It's not like when they were in Guo Dacheng's house, when they wanted to eat, Guo Dacheng's daughter-in-law cooked for them, and when they wanted to sleep, they had a warm bed.
However, ever since he came out from Kaihua City, Wu Feng didn't stay idle, every night when Old Liu Tou finished drinking and snoring in his sleep, Wu Feng would get up, find a place where there were no people, and start practicing Grandmaster Grandfather's Yin-Yang Bajie Infinite Marrow Cleansing Sutra, or practicing Xuan Tian Sword Technique for a while with the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
On the fifteenth day of the night, when Wu Feng was practicing the Yin Yang Eight Harmonies Immeasurable Marrow Cleansing Sutra, when he dredged his meridians again and spread his true qi all over his body, he vaguely had a trace of sensation, which was much stronger than the one he had sensed more than half a month ago, and when Wu Feng's body was filled with his true qi, it seemed that there was a small change in the surrounding aura, and for no reason at all, winds would pick up, and the surrounding grass would sway with it. would sway with it.
When Wu Feng's attention was focused on a certain plant of barren grass that was as tall as a man, something strange happened, as Wu Feng's palms danced, a good distance away, that barren grass even withered quickly, followed by a cool breath that flowed into his dantian.
