Chapter Twelve A Place Without War
The two walked together for a long time, and finally saw the city without the aura of war.
On the road leading to the city gate, farmers were busy weeding in the field. Flags on the city walls in the distance were flying, and it seemed that the flags could be heard whistling in the wind.
The fifth brother asked: "Li Mei, why do you think about entering the city this time?"
Li Mei swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, slapped her fifth brother's waist, looked at her palm, and patted her other hand on her waist. She raised her head, strode forward with her chest.
The fifth brother had been accustomed to Li Mei's sudden behavior. He looked at the city tower in the distance without blinking and walked over.
The city gate was closed and several arrows were shot out from the city gate and stabbed Li Mei at the feet.
The fifth brother pulled Li Mei in front behind him, and then he heard someone shouting: "Let's go forward and kill you without mercy!"
"Damn. Don't ask what you are doing or what you are doing. With a bang, you'll start with an arrow. I'm scared to death!"
"Why are you still talking swear words!"
The fifth brother was shocked by Li Mei's words. He turned around, held Li Mei, who was lower than him with both hands, and continued to growl: "You are the lady of the Sun family, with a noble status. You can't learn to be rude from those soldiers and gangsters."
"I understand! Are you annoying? Ask me quickly, how can we enter the city?"
"Tone! Identity!" The fifth brother was very anxious about this.
"Quickly ask!" Li Mei urged.
The fifth brother shouted to the city tower: "Brother of the city gate! Our brother and sister escaped from the south, and we want to go into the city to rest."
"Take three steps back and look at the bulletin board!"
The announcement roughly states: People who are not from Wu are not allowed to enter. Those who want to live here for a long time can go to the Xinfen House. Those who are temporarily resident can go to the station hall.
They came to the station hall.
The station hall is dilapidated, with floating soil and large layers of fallen leaves on the ground. It can be seen that no one has come in here for a long time.
"You are going to live here for the time being?" An old voice rang behind them.
The two turned around and saw a middle-aged woman, holding each other with her hands and bent down slightly; she was wearing a clean brown coarse cloth dress, smiling, and her hair was smooth and neatly maintained.
"Where can we live?" Li Mei asked
She already felt that the woman in front of her was not as honest as her appearance.
The fifth brother hadn't seen a neatly dressed and smiling person for many years. His eyes would have been filled with tears. If Li Mei hadn't pulled him, he would have come forward to hug the woman who looked like a mother.
"Follow me. This place used to be a station, but it was disrepaired many years ago. It cannot be lived in it."
“Can you live here too?”
"It was OK before. Look..."
"Okay. Let's stay here for one night for the time being." Li Mei interrupted the middle-aged woman, "You go. Let's solve it ourselves."
"Okay." The woman lowered her head and quickly left.
The fifth brother kept holding back the unhappiness in his heart. When Li Mei signaled that she could speak, he asked in a low voice: "Is there any problem?"
"You don't think about why the people in the fields are all big and thick men."
Brother Wu didn't notice the people in the field, and he didn't realize that something would happen.
Li Mei took Brother Wu's hand and walked around the inn a few times. This was the small courtyard in her previous life. The main room was not as dilapidated as shown outside. One of the two matching rooms had no roof. The three rooms were empty and there was no furniture.
In a corner of the yard, there is a small pomegranate tree, and the pomegranate flowers on the tree are already blooming.
Li Mei and her fifth brother have been together for three years. Along the way, they have seen a lot of pomegranate trees, but none of them are like the one in front of her that can make her heart moved.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Mei looked at Brother Wu up and down for a long time, then she said, "Brother Wu. Now you are more valuable than me."
Li Mei's mindless words did not make the fifth brother realize the meaning of this sentence. He continued to ask: "What did you see?"
"The people who escaped here must also have elderly people, children, and women. Where did these people go? Also, there are men with great figures, not far away, right, there! there! there! are all wars and dead people, but this is a place of peace, completely showing that they do not fight with the world. However, it is impossible for this world to exist without fighting with the world."
"The world? What does it mean?"
"Land, land!" Li Mei waved her hand and continued, "The peace here is protected by those outside who cultivate in the fields. Then these people also have a lot of needs. If they want to meet their needs, should they be transported out of the city?"
Li Mei suddenly said excitedly: "In the city?! There must be rich land in this city. It can satisfy everyone's food and water...I want to go in."
The fifth brother's face had turned pale. He remembered how the people in his family decreased little by little, he remembered where the women in the family went, and why he lived alone in this world.
The two of them were walking around the yard with their own thoughts.
