Chapter 227 Meeting an Acquaintance on the Road (1/2)
The village chief said: "It's okay. It's just that some of the food hidden by the villagers' homes was shared by them. Didn't you see? Everyone's burdens have increased. We have been here for seven days in a row. There is no way that the food has not been consumed.
, now there are more. Didn't they just divide the food among the villagers? They just buried the bodies! of the villagers. It's nothing to take some food. We didn't do that, and we can't worry about them.
Those things.”
After saying this, the man understood and said, "Okay, village chief."
…
After a dreamless night, everyone packed their luggage and started heading to the next stop.
If they go directly from Yuntong County to Pingyao County, they can get there in about 20 days. However, they have walked a long way to Lin County. Even if they have not yet reached Lin County, they have covered a lot of miles, so it will take at least 20 days to start from here.
It takes about 25-30 days to get there, and you can imagine how difficult this journey is.
Under the warm instructions, the Wen family all changed into their previous rags at dawn. Even the Jing family father and son also wore a piece of Wen family rags over their own clothes. No matter how luxurious the donkey cart was,
Anyway, people cannot be the target of public criticism.
The Wang family saw what they were wearing in tatters and immediately understood what they meant. With a glance, they also put on their own rags. If there were no rags, they tore off a few pieces of the clothes they couldn't wear and added some to their own clothes.
It’s a patch. Anyway, I just have to look like I’m on the run and I’m very poor.
The road was difficult to walk on, so even though it was warm and warm, I didn't take out the insoles. Instead, I bought a few more pairs of insoles in the space mall. After my family and the Jing family put them on, I also prepared a pair for the Wang family.
Aunt Wang looked grateful. After all, for them now, oh no, even in the past, such thick insoles were a good thing.
Sure enough, after putting on the insoles, walking was not as difficult as before.
Compared to the low-keyness of these three families, the other villagers have remained the same as usual and have always been very low-key, except Wen Wan, who never refuses to talk about tattered clothes and refuses to rip her own clothes.
Therefore, among the group of fleeing villagers, Wen Wan behaved like the eldest lady from an official family. She sat in a 'luxury' donkey cart and did not talk, nor did she move, but she relied on kindness to serve her food and water.
Of course, Wenhou didn't serve her, but when preparing Grandpa Wen's portion, he also prepared her portion. When he handed everything to Grandpa Wen, Grandpa Wen gave it to her.
In short, along the way, what Grandpa Wen was like, Wen Wan was also like that, and he accepted it quite at ease.
But she didn’t want to think about how old Grandpa Wen was. It was nothing for him to ride in a donkey cart and be served by others. Many elderly people of the same age as Grandpa Wen in the village also sat in their own cars and were served by their families, but there were really no young people who did the same.
Like this.
It is normal for the elderly to receive special care. First, the elderly cannot walk like that for a long time. Second, the elderly cannot walk fast. It is better to take the car directly to save time. Children also receive special care, but generally they are with
Children around Jingbo's age, 3 or 4 years old or younger, and then some pregnant women.
Therefore, she was not even close to her Wenwan, so she was nothing. Even if she was not riding in the villagers' own donkey cart, the fleeing villagers felt quite unhappy when they saw her.
With the warm 'reminder', the villagers no longer tolerated Wen Wan after being angry. It was hard to fight, and it was hard to scold.
It doesn't matter if they can't get scolded, they can win with more people. If one person curses, Wen Wan won't have time to interrupt, but they will all be punished for a few days.
But let it be said, just arguing with Wenxin like this really made the time feel less difficult. But after walking for five consecutive days, everyone discovered a problem. There were more refugees here.
The refugees formed a group like them, but the number was not as large as theirs, only about a dozen or so. Looking at the ferocious eyes of the refugees, several strong men glared back with weapons, and then these refugees
They will leave automatically, which is the benefit of having more people.
…
Ten days later.
"Miss, please eat something. You haven't eaten a bite since morning, so don't starve your body." A little girl of about 12 or 13 years old wearing a maid bun and a pink gown advised the side.
The woman sitting on the stone said.
The woman waved her hand, "I don't want to eat, Xiaoshuang, don't try to persuade me. I have to go on my way soon. I really can't eat. If I vomit again, it won't waste time."
The woman is wearing a purple gown, has an elegant manner, and has a soft and sweet voice. She looks like a lady at first glance, but as a lady, she has never traveled long distances, so it is inevitable that she will suffer from motion sickness.
There were many servants surrounding these two women, as if they were protecting their safety. Seeing a large number of them walking towards this side, they couldn't help but become nervous, "Miss,
A large group of people came from behind. The lady quickly got into the carriage and we left. If we were surrounded, it would be difficult to leave."
The woman in purple looked in their direction, and she was really nervous when she saw the number of people, but looking from a distance, it seemed that there was something familiar in the crowd.
That was the unique donkey cart. "Xiao Shuang, look, is that donkey cart the Wen family's donkey cart?"
Xiaoshuang took a closer look and realized that it was really the donkey cart, "Miss, it's really the Wen family's donkey cart. The Wen family and another family in their village have such unique donkey carts. There should be no mistaking it.
But Miss, there is no need for us to say hello at this time. Looking at them like this, they seem to be fleeing. Since they are all fleeing, Miss, people’s hearts are unpredictable."
Yes, this young lady is Miss Zhang. She and the Wen family are old acquaintances, but they are not particularly familiar with each other. After all, there is Butler Zhang in the middle of every transaction, and they have barely exchanged a few words.
It was so familiar, that is, the novel appearance of the Wen family's donkey cart caught her eye, and she remembered it.
But Miss Zhang is not familiar with them, but Butler Zhang is familiar with them. Butler Zhang said: "Miss, we got separated from the master and his wife, and there are really few of us. If we are going the same way, why not join their team and we will go together. There are more people."
It can also be relatively safer.”
In fact, there is no other destination besides Pingyao County.
But Xiao Shuang felt that the other party would not agree, "Who would let a stranger join them at this time? Uncle Zhang, this matter cannot be solved with money, and wealth in this world cannot be revealed."
It has to be said that the little double room is sober. They do have some servants here, but they are just servants. Everyone's skills are average. If the refugees commit a serious crime, will they be able to go to the next county safely?
