Su Mingyue had just given birth, but she had to suffer from the bumps of the car and the horses. She didn't take the medicine to return her milk along the way, her breasts began to swell, and they were as hard as stones. Life was like death.

Not long after the carriage left Baishui Town, the weaving lady and Mama Cui suddenly thought that Songcheng was on fire, and thinking of their family, they shouted desperately to get off the carriage, and wanted to go back and call their family to escape together. Shuikong said that it was too late to go back They said they would hold their children and die with their families.There was so much noise, Liang Xuanchen didn't hesitate, lifted the curtain of the car and stepped forward one by one, and pinched his neck to seal off the blood flow, and the two of them immediately fainted.

Shui Kong said sadly: "My lord, there are three dolls waiting to be fed here, you have strangled someone, who will hold the baby?"

Su Mingyue said weakly, "Put the child aside for now and let me take care of it."

Su Mingyue had no choice but to pick up the babies one by one and nurse them. She was a mother for the first time and had no experience. It was painful, her breasts were as hard as stones, but she couldn't suck anything, and the skin broke after a few sucks.The child was crying because he couldn't suck the milk, and she was sitting crookedly in the car, her whole body was in pain, and she was about to cry.

The horse-drawn carriage can't travel on the narrow path, so it can only take the official road. In addition, there are two weak mothers on the carriage, so the carriage can't be bumped too much, so the speed is very limited.Those three babies who were crying because of hunger made the car feces and urine endless, and the smell was unbearable.When they met a village on the way, Liang Xuanchen could only order Shuikong to stop for a rest. He went to the farmers and asked for some water and rice.

The peasant woman of that family was also enthusiastic. Seeing that Liang Xuanchen was neatly dressed and extraordinary, she thought they were noble sons who had encountered robbers, and even took out brown sugar eggs to give Su Mingyue and the others a boost.

Liang Xuanchen said: "We didn't encounter robbers, but the Mongols passed through the Yanmen Pass, and the fire burned all over Songcheng. We escaped. I don't see that the Mongols will continue to go south in a day or two, and the people in your villages and towns should also hurry up." It’s better to hide in the nearby mountains.”

The peasant woman was stunned, "Hasn't the previous dynasty been dead for more than ten years? The Mongols have long been driven out of the customs. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe and peaceful, why are there going to be wars again?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "The imperial court prefers the south, just like in the Song Dynasty. The Mongols outside the customs will invade our northern border from time to time. Where is the country and the people?"

Cui's mother in the car woke up faintly. The matter has come to this point, and crying will not help. Seeing that Su Mingyue is struggling to take care of the baby, Cui's mother took the child and gave some pointers, "Madam is not coming back now." The medicine for breast milk is delicious, or let the chest swell, don’t let the child suck it, and the milk will go down within two days. It’s just that it’s dangerous to do this. Confinement, the doll has nothing to eat, and she just went there as soon as she got sick. The safest way is that you apply a hot towel, squeeze out the milk, or let the baby eat clean, and the chest will be loose and alive. , if it accumulates in the body, it will become sepsis."

Su Mingyue is helpless, now she is very particular about it, no matter how hard it is, she has to survive, she has to endure, holding the little baby in her arms, she lifts off her clothes and tries to breastfeed again, she is reluctant to starve to death like this when the baby is ten months pregnant , let alone die of sepsis.How can you die on this after you have passed the hurdle of giving birth to a child?

The weaving lady on the other side had lost a lot of blood, she was drowsy and woke up and fell asleep all the time, and there was no medicine to hang her, so she really developed a high fever.Seeing that her chest was also as hard as a stone, Su Mingyue was very worried, fearing that she would not be able to make it through.She lifted the curtain and looked out, and said to Liang Xuanchen: "I have to see a doctor for her, if this continues, she will die."

The peasant woman said: "There is no medical clinic in a small village like ours. Originally, Songcheng was the closest to here, but now Songcheng cannot be visited, so we can only go south."

Liang Xuanchen discussed with Su Mingyue that it would be better to go south to Daizhou, where medicine would definitely be found, but it would take another day of turbulence.

Su Mingyue said worriedly: "I don't know if Lianxiang and the others have escaped."

Liang Xuanchen said: "They are dressed lightly, or they are already ahead of us."

Su Mingyue said: "I'm still worried that they won't find us after searching all over the place, so go back and avoid meeting Mongolians."

Liang Xuanchen said: "Lianxiang has followed Ah Yuan for many years, and is used to big battles, so she won't panic."

After eating this meal, the peasant woman collected flour from the house to make dry food for pancakes, and asked them to take them on the road to satisfy their hunger. When Liang Xuanchen came out, he was penniless. Thank you.The peasant woman refused to accept it anyway, so Liang Xuanchen said: "I will pass by here in the future, and I will redeem it with rice, flour and silver, and ask my sister-in-law to keep it for me. I am a blind man wearing this, and I can't protect it from thieves on the road. It's a pity."

The peasant woman agreed, and listened to Liang Xuanchen's order to go into the house to tidy up. She was going to wait for the man in the family to come back, so she took the old and the young and left to take shelter in the nearby mountains.

Shui Kong and Liang Xuanchen drove the carriage to continue southward, only half a day later, the weaver lady had a high fever and convulsed her whole body, she almost died. Fortunately, at sunset, the car finally arrived in Daizhou.This generation of prefecture is smaller than Songcheng, and its scale is only the size of Baishui Town. There are medical clinics, but the doctor has no skills. First, he needs to prescribe medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Too much will lead to weakness, and there may be accidents if such a dangerous medicine is prescribed.The doctor was not sure about it, so he replaced it with the medicine to strengthen the blood and protect the palace. When he had to pay for the medicine, he realized that he was ashamed and penniless.

Su Mingyue took off the earrings and asked Shuikong to pawn them as medicine money, and she survived this test.

They are a group of five with three babies, so it is not an option to just rest in the hospital, Liang Xuanchen ordered Shui Kong to go out to find an inn, there is only one inn in this Daizhou, no matter whether the accommodation is good or not, the five of them will move to the inn for now.

It's just that this time, no matter what, I couldn't touch the silver jewelry as a gift, but the proprietress of the inn heard that they had fled from Songcheng, and saw that Liang Xuanchen was blind but had an extraordinary bearing, and Su Mingyue beside her had just given birth. Her face was pale, but her appearance was by no means ordinary. She immediately decided to ask the clerk to take a few guests upstairs to open a room and live in a shop. At the same time, she inquired about the evil deeds of the Mongols in Songcheng, and hesitated whether to pack up and get ready to leave Dai. state.

Cui's mother took the medicine she just grabbed from the pharmacy to the kitchen and fried it, and gave it to the weaving lady. After a while, the fever gradually subsided.

Liang Xuanchen really wanted to continue going south. If he could go to Taiyuan Mansion, where the soldiers were strong and the Mongols didn't dare to attack the city easily, it would be hard to say for Daizhou.It's just that the crying of the baby in the next room was endless, and Su Mingyue had just given birth, and the weaver lady's life was hanging by a thread. If there was a mistake in the forced journey, he couldn't explain it to Ah Yuan and Lianxiang.

After barely resting like this, in the middle of the night, I heard horses neighing outside the house, the sound of horseshoes rumbling, women and children crying, and men shouting in panic, "The thief is coming, the thief is coming!"

Liang Xuanchen yelled that it was not good, Shui Kong hurried over to help him put on his clothes and get up, "What's wrong outside?"

"It's a Mongolian, it's downstairs." Shui Kong tried his best to suppress his panic, and said in a low voice.

"So fast?" Liang Xuanchen said.

"Yes, we can't go away."

Liang Xuanchen touched the white jade and purple bamboo stick beside the bed, held it in his hand, and stood up, "Go, go to the next door, and protect Miss Su and the others."

The inn is very small, and you can see the hall downstairs when you leave the door. It is a mess. Several Mongolians are rummaging through boxes and cabinets, snatching the belongings temporarily stored in the drawers of the accountant. As soon as he cut it, blood flowed profusely from his neck, and he fell to the ground.Shuikong only glanced at it, avoiding eye contact with the Mongolian, helped Liang Xuanchen and entered the next room.

Mama Cui and Su Mingyue were originally in different rooms, but at this time they heard the movement and gathered in Su Mingyue's room. The three of them each held their own children, and they were ready to die together.Liang Xuanchen came in and ordered Shuikong to close all the doors and windows, blow out the candles, and the room was plunged into darkness. In the darkness, he tapped the ground with a stick of white jade and purple bamboo, dragged a chair and sat in front of the bed facing the door, using his body Block the three behind.

The weaving lady's baby started crying loudly when she heard the commotion downstairs because she didn't have enough to eat.Cui's mother was so anxious that she hugged her and nursed her, trying to calm the baby down.

The Mongol had already rushed over when he heard the commotion upstairs, kicked open the door, and saw that the room was pitch black, but he didn't dare to enter it rashly, he just walked over to check other rooms.

The people downstairs shouted up, and they communicated with each other in Mongolian.

When the Mongolian upstairs heard it, he stepped into the room and raised a knife to kill the orphans and widows.

Liang Xuanchen's white jade and purple bamboo stick swept away one by one, the Mongolian fell to the ground, his temples were eaten hard, and his eyes and canthus were cracked, he died on the spot, he didn't even have time to call for help.

The following Mongols yelled a few more words, and when they saw their companions going downstairs, they followed up, facing the dark door, like a cave of demons, and dared not move forward.They had bows and arrows on their backs, so they took off the bows and shot arrows, and shot randomly into it.

Liang Xuanchen heard the buzzing sound of the bow being drawn, so he hooked a poplar wood Eight Immortals table beside him to block it in front of him, using it as a shield.

After repeated "Tu Tuk Tuk", the feather arrows were bound to the wooden board one after another.

Those Mongols had put away their bows and arrows and were about to leave. Hearing the sound felt wrong, they re-entered the house. In the dark, Liang Xuanchen's white jade and purple bamboo stick whizzed back and forth, aiming at the vital gates. After a few strokes, these people also confessed. up.Seeing this, several companions outside the house panicked and yelled.

"Shuikong, they are coming with torches." Liang Xuanchen warned.

Sure enough, a Mongolian from outside came in with a torch, and the leader stood at the door to illuminate the room. Liang Xuanchen turned the white jade and purple bamboo stick lightly, started the engine, and heard "hissing" several times, Like a torrential rain, the silver needles poured out from the fine holes between the turned white jade patterns, hitting the opponent's facade.After all, he is blind. If more people come and find the right opportunity to shoot, more people will be recruited.

The Mongols were completely enraged. They lost many soldiers in a row, and several torches were thrown into the room to set it on fire.

Liang Xuanchen simply closed his eyes, and heard the sound of torches whizzing by in his ears, before he landed, the white jade and purple bamboo stick made a move, picked up the torches a few times, and one of the torches was thrown back outside the house.Shuikong picked up the quilt to cover one of them, stomped it out a few times, and another torch fell into the bed, Su Mingyue quickly stretched out her foot and stomped it a few times.

Now that the torch was gone, the Mongols didn't dare to force their way in. They yelled loudly that someone had come out to rescue soldiers.

The faint light from the corridor outside came over, Su Mingyue looked at Liang Xuanchen's silhouette, she was very scared just now, but now she has calmed down.Although she knew that it was impossible for a blind person to keep fighting with one against ten and one against a hundred, but Liang Xuanchen was so calm, she had no reason to be afraid.At this time, she had no idea where Liang Guanjing was. The person in front of her was her third elder brother, so she felt at ease with relatives by her side.

"Third brother, with your kung fu, you need to concentrate on practicing for many years, right?" Su Mingyue said.

Liang Xuanchen smiled, "I used to love reading books the most, but since I'm blind and can't read books, I have to find something to do."

"Did you teach Ah Yuan's kung fu?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "She doesn't bother to learn, and no teacher likes a student like her."

Su Mingyue said: "Why is this?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "Not to mention she is not good at learning arts, she just likes to go heresy. She has simply ruined the word 'kung fu'."

Su Mingyue smiled, thinking that the empress in her mind and the naughty sister in her brother's mind must not be the same person.

While talking, a small group of Mongols went up the stairs. The partitions in the room were only thin wooden boards. The Mongols slammed their bodies against the wall, and the room was completely demolished in two or three efforts. Kong Hu was in front of him, and behind them were three weak women with babies in their arms.
