Chapter 18 Senior brother, are you here after all?

"Oh, mother, why are you still fainting? Hurry up and call for Dr. Qin!"

Someone yelled and ran outside.

Others were also busy helping.

After carrying the person into the house, the village chief's family brought another bowl of cold water.

Qi Manman hugged his grandfather's neck and whispered in his ear: "Grandpa, why is he asleep? It's not dark yet?"

"Man Bao'er, he fainted at that time. He came here to escape the famine, and it was miserable when he came. Now when he heard that he was going to flee the famine again, he couldn't bear it, so he fainted."

Qi Zheng did not fool the child just because she was young, but explained it carefully and couldn't help but sigh in the end.

People like them who have never experienced fleeing from famine find it unbearable, let alone people like Chen Erqiao and his family who have already experienced it once.

At that time, their family was lucky and met a kind-hearted person in Yongping Village. But what if they, a villager like them, were not so lucky when they were fleeing famine?

Thinking of this, Qi Zheng's heart suddenly jumped and he subconsciously looked at the little baby in his arms.

The little baby was blinking his big eyes and looking in the direction of the room.

Qi Zheng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he asked in a low voice: "Man Bao'er, tell grandpa, do you have any ideas about escaping from famine?"

When Qi Zheng said this, he felt ashamed.

He himself felt that he was stunned. He would ask a child what he thought about such a big thing as escaping.

Isn't this crazy?

Unexpectedly, Qi Manman tilted his head and thought for a while without saying anything. Then he lay on his grandfather's shoulder and closed his eyes, as if he was about to sleep.

Seeing her like this, Qi Zheng became even more convinced that he was crazy.

I also thought that this little girl might not even know what running away from home meant.

Sighing silently, he gently patted his granddaughter on the back to make her sleep more comfortably.

Qin Minglang was making herbal medicine at home. He had just entered the house and didn't know that something big had happened in the village.

Seeing some villagers running over in a hurry, Qin Minglang was also startled: "What's going on?"

"Chen, Chen Laoer has fainted. Doctor Qin, please go over and have a look!"

The first person to run over was a young man. He was so anxious that he was sweating and stammering when he spoke.

When Qin Minglang heard this, he quickly picked up the medicine box and walked outside.

Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, the young man hurriedly said: "He's at the village chief's house!"

"Oh oh oh, let's go, let's go!"

Qin Minglang didn't ask why he was at the village chief's house.

When he arrived at the village chief's house, Qin Minglang felt his heart skip a beat when he saw so many villagers outside the village chief's house.

Normally, so many people wouldn't gather at the village chief's house. Some people even fainted. Could it be that something serious happened?

Thinking about it in his heart, Qin Minglang's steps were not slow.

It was only when he entered the house that he saw that Chen Erqiao was already awake. He was leaning against the wall of the kang like an eggplant beaten by frost. His hair, face and the clothes in front of him were all wet.

"Doctor Qin is here!"

As soon as everyone heard that the doctor was coming, they quickly got out of the way.

Qin Minglang felt his pulse and then said: "I'm too frightened. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe you some soothing medicine later. Just drink it and have a good sleep and you'll be fine."

"Something happened, something happened, wuwuwu..."

Chen Erqiao, who was originally stupid, suddenly started crying.

The voice was not loud, not the kind of crying that screamed to the sky and the earth, but just covering the face and whimpering in a low voice.

That voice and that look made me feel particularly sad.

Zhang Sanniu on the side also had red eyes, and said as if talking to himself: "Fleeing from famine! Once we are on the fleeing road, there is no turning back. There are many dead people on the road. I, we don't want to do that again."

Already."

"What escape?"

Qin Minglang didn't understand even more.

What is this and what? Who would go to escape?

At this moment, a slightly older voice came from outside the door: "Junior brother, there is chaos outside."

Junior brother?

This title made everyone even more confused.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, an old man with white hair and white beard walked in.

Qin Minglang visibly trembled after hearing this voice, and then chuckled: "Brother, you are here after all."

Turning around, I saw Yin Cheng appearing at the door of the house.

The two people just looked at each other.

Yin Cheng's face was complicated, and he could see guilt in his eyes.

Qin Minglang, on the other hand, straightened his back and looked at the other person with a smile that was very sincere.

"well……"

Yin Cheng sighed: "I don't want to come either. It's not that the two bastards from Lao Qi's family want to bring the old man here with me no matter what they say, I'm also forced to do nothing by them."

Speaking of this, Yin Cheng's mood became more complicated.

Call me angry, that's really not the case.

Those two brats were doing it for their own good.

But I can't even talk about being grateful.

He just wanted to die at home, but he never thought that such a wish would be ruined by these two brats.

But now looking at Qin Minglang, Yin Cheng felt that some things should be settled before death.

"We'll talk about our business later."

Yin Cheng was the first to break the silence: "The rebels from the south are coming, and the city is already in chaos. According to the news I heard in the city before, wherever the rebels go, there is almost no grass growing."

When he arrived at Qi's house before, he saw that Qi's family wanted to talk about something together, but it was not convenient for him to listen, so he walked around nearby.

When I returned to Qi's house, I realized that Mr. Qi had already gone to the village chief's house.

So he asked the Qi family's little kid to take him to find Qin Minglang. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would see Qin Minglang disappear around the corner following the footsteps of a young man.

There was no other way, Yin Cheng had no choice but to follow.

He never thought that his junior brother didn't know about the chaos in the city, and he didn't know if he was doing too poorly in this village. No one informed him of such a big event in advance.

Qin Minglang was also shocked after hearing this: "You just called me like this? The imperial court doesn't have any way to deal with it?"

"There is no way to deal with it. The county magistrate has already run away."

No one in the crowd knew who said this.

In such a small and remote place, the county grandpa is the imperial court. If the county grandpa runs away, in their eyes, it means the imperial court has run away, regardless of the life or death of ordinary people like them.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene became very depressing.

"Doctor Yin, Dr. Qin, you are now the people among us who have seen the most of the world. You can help us plan and figure out how to take the next step."

The village chief is also out of ideas.

This way of escaping was obviously not accepted by everyone, but he couldn't think of any other way, so he could only seek help from these two doctors.

At the same time, Qi Zheng, who was about to walk into the house, suddenly felt his granddaughter move in his arms.
