第四章 立威

喉咙还是干得要命，每喘一口气都带着沙哑。我靠在木屋的墙根，喘了半天气，才缓过一口气来。这具身体太弱了，刚从昏迷中醒过来，浑身都疼。我记得我之前是在一辆破旧的马车里，被乱枪打中，然后就没意识了。 我低头看了看自己，身上穿着一件粗布的棉袄，虽然破旧，但还算干净。这是个陌生的身体，但我能感觉到，这具身体的主人是个成年人，约莫三十岁左右。 我把手伸进口袋，摸到了一枚铜钱。这是这具身体的主人遗落的，看来他是个贫民。我搜了搜他的身体，除了这枚铜钱，没有其他东西了。 我站起身来，虽然浑身疼，但我必须尽快离开这个地方。因为我知道，太平天国的战火已经烧到了这里，这里已经成为了一个兵家必争之地。如果我不尽快离开，就会被卷入这场战争之中。 我走出木屋，外面是一片荒凉的景象。到处都是烧毁的房屋和废弃的农具。我看到了几个穿着破烂衣服的人，他们正围在一起，似乎在分一些食物。 我走过去，看到他们正在分一些干粮。我走过去， asked them if I could have some food. They looked at me, surprised, then nodded and gave me some. I ate the food quickly, then asked them about the situation here. They told me that the war had been going on for months, and that the area had been through a lot. They said that the soldiers were everywhere, and that it was not safe to travel around. I listened to their story, then decided that I needed to find a place where I could be safe. I asked them if they knew of any place where I could stay. They told me that there was a small village not far from here, where people were safe.
