Chapter 258 The vicious female supporting character escapes to farm (9)
Witnessing Xu Yin cleaning up the robbers, the victims came to their senses and rejoiced:
"Oh! Fortunately, that black boy was so powerful that he kicked the bandits away. If they succeeded, we would all be doomed!"
"Looking at such a skinny little guy, I didn't expect him to be so powerful! You really can't tell a person's face!"
"Maybe he is a martial arts master who has entered the world!"
"Quick! Go faster! Follow that young hero, and no one will dare to rob us in the future!"
Someone suggested this, and everyone spontaneously accelerated their pace to catch up with Wang Daniu and his team.
Later, the victims of the disaster did not know and asked in confusion why they followed the people in front.
These people said that there was a martial arts master ahead, who could beat the crap out of a dozen knife-wielding bandits with one move. If they followed him, their lives would be guaranteed!
As a result, the victims of the disaster in twos and threes spontaneously gathered at the back of the team, trying not to fall behind those who were walking slowly, and not to overtake those who were walking fast.
The closer we get to Dongxuan Mansion, the more powerful the team becomes.
Xu Yin turned around and saw the endless queue, and couldn't help but click her tongue: Why did there suddenly appear so many victims? There used to be only a few fleeing teams on this road, but now there are no less than a hundred households.
Wang Daniu was also puzzled, so he called his son to inquire.
Upon inquiring, I learned that these people came here for Xu Yin's high strength and were hiding behind her to seek shelter.
Xu Yin: "..."
Looking back, the official of Dongxuan Mansion wouldn't think that she was going to rebel, right?
…
Wang Daniu's attitude towards her became even worse after the bandit incident. He regarded her as his family's savior and rushed to do any work. He also said that after settling down in Fucheng, he would treat her to a nice meal.
Wang Daniu's youngest son Wang Xiaohu even regarded Xu Yin as his idol, calling him "Brother Hero" all the way.
Erlang no longer snickered. Like Wang Xiaohu, he often looked at her with admiration. One night before going to bed, he leaned into Xu Yin's ear and asked: "Sister-in-law, who is better in a fight between you and my eldest brother?"
Xu Yin unexpectedly came up with the idea of "fighting between goblins". How terrible!
She patted Erlang's head away: "Sleep!"
Just like this, when the moon is still high in the starry sky, I put some dewdrops on my lips, get up early and go on the road; after noon, when the sun gets hot, I find a place to rest and accumulate strength; when the sun sets, I continue on the road, and it gets so dark that I can't see the road clearly. I find a place to find a place.
rest……
Xu Yin has been paying attention to the vegetation along the way. As long as there is a little bit of green, she will lead some water out.
Behind the team, many victims were staggering due to lack of water and could hardly hold on. The morning dew could only moisten their lips, but could not quench their thirst at all.
Xu Yin's heart was depressed, forget it if she didn't see it, she couldn't get over it if she didn't do something when she saw it.
But at first she only dared to draw a little water out.
After being thirsty for several days, how could the victims not grab water when they saw it? They were afraid that they would not be able to drink and die of thirst.
Xu Yin shouted sharply: "There will be more and more water in the future. If you grab it, no one can drink it! Now, stand back! Let the elderly and children come first! Everyone takes turns to drink!"
People who have never seen Xu Yin kick a big man away were unconvinced and walked forward swaggeringly: "I want to drink! Why should I give it to others!"
Xu Yin didn't talk nonsense to him and kicked him away from the water source.
Now, no one dared to grab it. They lined up obediently and let the elderly and children drink first. The next time they encountered a water source, women would drink first as Xu Yin said.
Some people couldn't help but mutter: "Old man, it's okay for the children to drink first. Why do women line up in front of us? What use can they do!"
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows: "You were born to a woman, so what use do you think it is?"
"..."
Fortunately, as Dongxuan Mansion gets closer and closer, there are more and more unwilted vegetation on the surface, and Xu Yin becomes more and more bold. He leads a little water out from a certain distance, so that the victims can basically take a few sips of relief.
Thirst.
Once when we passed a shady river, there were several shallow pools of water on the south bank. Everyone cheered and jumped in to drink.
Xu Yin used the reeds on the river bank to release a lot of mountain spring water for everyone to drink.
Erlang led Sanmei and ran over and asked her what she was doing. She pulled a handful of thatch and said, "Weave a straw felt!"
The wither the thatch on the roadside, the more flexible it will be.
Xu Yin raised her head and looked at the sky. It had not rained all this way, and the sun was blazing every day. But according to her observation of the surface vegetation, it must have rained in Dongxuan Mansion.
It might rain again sometime, so it would be a good idea to make some straw rugs to prepare for emergencies.
Erlang listened to her words and followed her to pull out a lot of thatch. He taught his third sister how to weave straw mats while riding on a cart.
After seven or eight days of driving in this way, we finally saw dry yellow and brown fields, and large expanses of green began to appear in our field of vision.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be reborn, throwing themselves down on the field and cheering excitedly.
After a few days, water was no longer a problem.
From the shaded ditches to the gurgling streams, to the wide rivers with vast waves, Wang Daniu said that they must have entered the territory of Dongxuan Mansion.
He pointed at a certain kind of wild fruit and said, "I have seen this kind of fruit on Dongxuanfu Street."
The Wang family was both happy and sad.
I'm happy to finally see hope.
The sad thing is that they have left their hometown to join their relatives, but they don't know if their relatives are willing to take them in.
Although I had planned to find work as soon as I arrived in Fucheng, I still had to have a place to stay.
Xu Yin is also thinking about her plans after arriving at Dongxuan Mansion.
But there was no rush, right now she just wanted to find a place with hot water to stay, take a quick bath, and wash her hair.
The villages we passed through in the past few days have suffered from severe drought, and almost all the villagers have fled to avoid the disaster.
So much so that I slept in the countryside every night along the way.
Apart from quietly wiping her body with a wet tissue in the dead of night, she didn't dare to make much noise. Her hair was unwashed, and her clothes were only secretly changed once.
So much so that when you lower your head, you can smell the smell of sweat coming from your clothes, and when you raise your head, you can tell how oily and smelly your hair is.
If there was a village nearby, she would like to spend some money to stay overnight, take a thorough bath, prepare a hot meal, and treat the Five Zang Temple.
"Dad, have you noticed that after entering the territory of Dongxuan Mansion, more and more people are fleeing like us. What's going on?" Wang Xiaohu was puzzled, "I'll go and find out."
After a while, he came back after asking.
It turned out that the disaster in Tongxing Prefecture was serious, and they were worried that the victims would cause chaos, so they ordered the gates of each city to be closed, and people had to use roads to enter the city.
But there was no way for the victims who were fleeing the famine, so they had nowhere to go and had to turn around and come to Dongxuan Mansion.
Wang Daniu slapped his thigh after hearing this: "Then we have to speed up. Don't let Dongxuan Mansion also order the city gate to be closed by then, which will be bad!"
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy: Dongxuan Mansion has closed the city gate!
Not only the gates of prefectural cities, but also the gates of county towns everywhere are closed!
Anyone who enters the city must show a road guide. Anyone who wants to forcefully enter the city without a road guide will be captured as a strong man.
For the victims who had finally escaped from the famine and arrived here, this was like a bolt from the blue.
