After walking for another two days, everyone who used reed flowers as cotton regretted it. The wind blew against their skin and it was a biting pain. No matter how hard the reed flowers were pressed, they still couldn't feel any warmth.
Everyone is not happy to stop and rest. It can be warmer by walking, but it would be painful to stop and be exposed to the cold wind for nothing.
Lao Qi's family took out an ox cart and set up a stove on it. The fire kept simmering the soup and medicine, and as soon as the pot was ready, people would come and pretend to drink it to drive away the cold and warm up.
There was no way, there was no cave or anything to hide from on the way, so we could only move forward against the increasingly cold wind.
We can't watch the villagers walking shivering with cold, and the children always have two rivers falling under their noses.
Qi Baoer happened to pick up an iron plate from the Wu Mansion. He cut off a piece of the wooden board on the oxcart, put it on the iron plate, and then set up the stove on the iron plate. There was no shortage of dry firewood on the left and right mountains.
,The people collecting firewood,,, there are many of them now.
The person who heated the hot water and made the soup was alternated with several women from Lao Qi's family. This work was done by no one else. Although the person standing in front of the pot was working, it was warm.
Get up early this morning, good guy,,,
A man huddled up and looked helplessly at the sky, "It's snowing."
It's snowing. It must have fallen in the middle of the night. The ground has already been covered with a thin layer.
As a member of the guard last night, Lianba stomped up to Qi Kang'an and said, "Brother An, are you almost to Yuan'an County?"
It's snowing. If we go further, there will be no villages or towns, so we have to spend the night in the wild. If we don't wake up, we will find that it has been completely cold.
They had all prepared like the rabbit for the winter. They formed a circle on the cart to protect themselves from the cold wind, and the women were crowded into a pile, and the men were crowded into a pile, but this was not a big deal.
Not to mention that everyone has nothing to eat now. It's cold, and the less you eat, the colder you feel.
Qi Kang'an was chewing a piece of hay root and was also worried. This was really not as good as drought. He could just spread it out anywhere at night.
"Let everyone keep holding on. We are almost in Yuan'an County. We may pass by a village today." If there is a village, we can rest and warm up.
But the reality told them that even if they had a village, they wouldn't be able to live in a village. No one would let them stay, and they would be treated as refugees without permission.
Far away, at the entrance of the village, a group of men were already holding up tools and shouting and threatening them to get out. There were even some who were holding up stones, as if they were going to hit them if they got close.
Qi Kang'an waved his hand and asked everyone to continue walking. Not only does this village not welcome us, but if we get closer, we will get into conflicts, which is not worth it.
Li Qin crossed her hands and hid her sleeves and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why are these people like this?"
Ye Sanni didn't say anything, she just thought to herself: If it were them, they would probably do the same thing.
How many of the refugees who fled here are already at the end of their rope?
Once a person reaches the end of his rope, what can't he do?
What's more, people don't know how the refugees got here. If they were like the groups they met who just grabbed whatever they could, they would be inviting trouble.
The couple had a heart-to-heart relationship, and Qi Kang'an was saying the same thing to old man Qi, "Dad, you can't blame others. Looking at us, if it was our own village, we would have to do the same thing."
Don't blame others, if you want to blame, blame the world and the people who really caused them to be like this.
Old man Qi let out a long sigh, hugged Qi Bao'er tightly in his arms and said, "You can't blame me. Let's walk further. We'll see the village. It should not be far from the county seat."
It is estimated that even if we encounter villages again on the road, we will treat them the same way.
Don't bother searching in the surrounding villages, just go straight to the county seat with all your strength. King Xuan wants to show off in front of the imperial concubine. Yuan'an County has designated a place that can temporarily accommodate their refugees.
Qi Bao'er had been very silent these past two days. Her mother had wrapped her up, and it was difficult for her to lift her legs. She was so depressed that she didn't even bother to say anything.
Although she doesn't know how to farm in the space, it seems useless, but in fact, her role is not small along the way. Not to mention that the water in the space has saved the lives of three to four hundred people, but Qi Bao'er's current body is as good as that of the Wu Mansion.
Thanks for the trouble, I wasn't blown away in the first place.
Inside was the pink winter coat worn by Miss Wu. Mrs. Tian took it apart and made it again. She made one set into two sets that Qibaoer could wear.
There were several strips of silver fox fur, and Ye Sanni cut and sewed them to make a small cape with a hood.
Don't tell me, after wrapping up the little cloak and tying up the belt, Qi Bao'er's delicate little face was supported by the silver fox fur. It looked like a New Year painting doll, but she was not as good-looking as she was.
But it's too thick and too warm, and it's too inconvenient to move around. It's hard to climb up Yinzai's back.
The team walked along the official road in silence. They were cold, tired, and hungry. They had no feeling in their feet, and they didn't have the energy to talk nonsense.
I feel aggrieved because they once had land and a family, but now they are like dogs bereaved.
The nearby villages were quite dense, and no one seemed to be escaping. After walking for less than two minutes, they saw another village at the bottom of the official road, with about two to three hundred people. The same people were holding the same weapons.
The pair at the intersection looked down at them.
Qi Fugui looked furious and shouted in the other direction: "Don't guard us, we have no intention of entering your village, not even any village, and we have nothing to do with you."
It's useless, people don't believe you, they just think you want to lower their defense, but instead they look at you more fiercely.
Qi Erniu pushed it and wanted to yell at Qi Fugui, "What are you doing? It's a waste of effort, we can just go over and get it."
Young people tend to get angry easily. Besides, they have never experienced anything like this before. People are disgusted with dogs, as if they have an infectious disease.
Qi Erniu understood, but as the father of three children, he had already reached a higher level, and his ideological consciousness was not on the same level as that of a bachelor like wealth and honor.
It's not worth it. With such a roaring energy, it's better to push the car more firmly so that the children of Lao Qi's family in the car can feel more comfortable.
His wife had taken over someone else's carriage, and he couldn't let the children, who could ride in a carriage that was protected from the wind from all sides, but now had to ride in the air-conditioning, suffer any more bumps.
My peers are just kids.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, this time the village was on a hillside. The village could not be seen from the official road. We could only judge from the group of men holding sticks on an upward mountain road that there was a village above.
This time there were no people shouting. Many people didn't even look up and just walked silently.
I'm suffocating in my heart, and I understand why, but who wants to be treated like this?
A woman whispered to the man next to her, "When we get to the county town, we will pick up some things and make them decent. If the cattle are worth the real price, we will also buy one."
The man responded in a muffled voice: "Yeah."
In the carriage, Mrs. Tian opened the curtain and looked up the hillside. She was always unhappy in her heart: I thought she was also someone who pretended to be a rich old lady and was bowed to by others. Why were these people so indifferent and didn't look at her?
Are they still leading the two carriages?
Besides, if you want to be like that, it has to be like the Wu Mansion in Sanhe Town. Even if they are not refugees, they dress the same as if they were refugees. They treat it as a curiosity.
Oops, no, I can't look at it. The more I look at it, the more angry I get.
