Hongdou sat there and counted the money on hand, and after making sure there was no shortage, he sewed them one by one into the lining of his clothes. They had already hired a car to take them to Chengjiazhuang tomorrow.
After waiting until they arrived in Hangzhou, although this was only a small town on the edge of Hangzhou, Chengchun felt at ease. Perhaps because of his hometown, Chengchun finally had a good sleep that night.
Early the next morning, they got on the oxcart back to Chengjiazhuang. They talked and laughed along the way, and they were thinking about how to explain to her parents that she had faked her death and returned home.
"I don't know how Guo'er is studying now!" Chengchun said with a smile to Hongdou while sitting in the bullock cart.
"We'll find out when we go back and see!" Hongdou saw Chengchun's face full of smiles, and suddenly felt that the bumps along the way were nothing.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Chengchun heard the coachman say: "What's wrong? Where are you going?"
"The refugees rebelled! They broke in directly from Chun'an County, and all the towns they passed were robbed!" A man's voice suddenly rang.
Chengchun suddenly opened the car curtain: "What did you say?"
"The disaster relief food from the court has not arrived. The refugees have rebelled and are grabbing things everywhere. People in the villages in front have been killed by the refugees!" After the man finished speaking, he ran away quickly.
The driver was also confused: "Girl, are we still going?"
As soon as Chengchun heard that someone was dead in front of him, his heart was already in a mess. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw someone running over not far away: "Ox, there are cows here. Come quickly, people, there are cows here."
ox!"
The coachman immediately turned around and started running, but by this time it was too late. People were running over from both sides. The coachman was frightened, so he dropped the car and ran away, leaving Chengchun and Hongdou in the car wondering what to do.
Chengchun quickly pulled Hongdou and jumped out of the car to escape, but no matter how fast the two women ran, they couldn't compare to the men. When the crowd crowded over, Chengchun pushed Hongdou into the river and ran in the opposite direction.
go.
Hong Dou fell into the water and was swept away by the river, but Cheng Chun was held down by several people.
"She's a little lady! Oh, she's so beautiful! This little lady must be worth a lot of money if sold!" The man pressing on Cheng Chun's face laughed.
Another man quickly snatched Chengchun's baggage and turned it over: "Poor guy, he only has two embarrassments!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, she's so beautiful. I haven't eaten meat for a long time..." The man pressing on Chengchun said, and his hand touched Chengchun's chest.
Chengchun stared, tears falling down.
"You must be sick!" Another person punched the man on the head, "Such a good product is not worth much money if you open it!"
It was obvious that the man who said this was the leader of these people, and that man immediately fell silent.
When the three people tied Chengchun back, Chengchun discovered that the group of people were crowded into an ancestral hall in a village. The plaques in the ancestral hall had been kicked into a mess, and some of the plaques had even been split to make firewood.
In the corner of the ancestral hall, there was a group of young women and children tied there.
Chengchun was thrown into the crowd. Her head was broken and she was bleeding. She tried to get up, but found that she didn't have any strength left. Instead, she was a little girl. She was probably too young to have any strength.
After being tied up, he walked over to her and helped her up.
The child was only about four or five years old, and she tried her best to help Chengchun. Chengchun struggled to sit up on her own, but the next moment, she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she was startled awake by a sharp cry. She slowly opened her eyes and looked over, and saw a woman lying in front of her. The woman's clothes had been taken off, and her daughter's breasts were exposed.
He was so completely exposed in front of those beasts.
The woman cried heartbreakingly, but the man who was throwing herself on him laughed loudly. The harder the woman cried, the louder he laughed, and slapped the woman on the face one after another. After a while, he was
The beating was beyond recognition.
After a while, the man was probably done, so he threw the naked woman into the crowd, then looked at them and said: "Run, keep running. If you see it, you can only run like her. There is a chaos outside."
, I will starve to death if I run out, it’s better to stay here and be obedient, and you’ll still have food to eat!”
The women were so frightened that they could no longer cry. They just huddled there carefully. Chengchun looked at the woman who was just left there naked and felt sick.
Waiting until late at night, when everyone was asleep, Chengchun endured the pain, picked up the torn clothes, and carefully covered the woman's body. The woman, who was silent as if she was dead, grabbed Chengchun's hand.
: "Run, run, we are all sheep, if we don't run, we will be eaten!"
Chengchun didn't say anything, just covered her up with clothes.
Of course Chengchun knew she had to run away, but now she was injured and couldn't run anywhere, and there were really too many refugees. She could sack the entire village, even kill most of the men, and imprison all the women here.
The refugees are already extremely vicious. Running away at this time is no different from seeking death.
It wasn't until noon the next day that they were given a mouthful of food, really, only one mouthful.
Chengchun looked at the mouthful of steamed buns in her hand and felt more and more disgusted, but she knew that if she didn't eat it, she would definitely die. The coachman's cow had been slaughtered, and when the cow was killed, it screamed very miserably.
"...the imperial court? What kind of ruined imperial court they dare not care about our life and death? There is plague everywhere. What they can do is not to arrest those who have the plague and burn them with fire. If we don't run away, then that's not the case.
Are you waiting to die?"
"We have killed people, but if we don't kill these people, will we have anything to eat? We are almost dead, but they are not even willing to give us a bite of food. They all deserve it!"
"Who says it's not the case? If you ask me, if they want to blame it, it's the trash who's guarding the city. We just want to survive!"
"With so many relatives and friends, if we don't take action, are we going to watch them die with us?"
"We'll set out tomorrow and send these people to Hangzhou to sell them. We'll take the money and live somewhere else for a while. Who knows we've killed someone!"
Listening to the sounds outside, Cheng Chun felt chills running down his spine. These refugees had lost their minds and committed murders and arson for the sake of stuttering.
