After the last refugee was carried out of the city gate, the city gate closed again with a heavy 'bang' sound.
Everyone did not dare to make a sound along the way. If anyone dared to make a sound, the soldiers' feet or spears would come over without hesitation.
Qi Kangfu: “This,,,??”
Old man Qi frowned: "It should be to prevent refugees from those epidemic areas. We are sure to be fine. If we stay there any longer and the new refugees have problems, none of us can escape. Yuan'an County will
More dangerous."
Qi Kang'an glanced around worriedly, picked up Ye Sanni with one hand, and dragged Mrs. Tian with the other, "Let's leave quickly. People without household registration have also come here this whole day, but they are not good people."
Yes, they were only expelled refugees with household registration, but those without household registration who had been hiding on the mountainside were not stupid. When they saw this opportunity, they took the opportunity to squeeze into their group and followed them through the city.
"Yes, let's go quickly." Mrs. Tian grabbed the elder's arm and walked forward in shock.
Ye Sanni and Li Qin were also frightened. One was dragged away by Qi Kangan, and the other was dragged away by Qi Kangfu. Both of them had weak legs.
Siliang lay in Qi Kangfu's arms and looked back, and whispered in his father's ear carefully: "Dad, have mother and grandpa left the city too?"
Qi Kangfu said a muffled 'hmm', patted his son on the back, and walked forward with a cold face.
Liu Lang, who was being held in Song Shuming's arms, didn't know that his parents had broken up. He just listened to the adults coaxing him and really thought that the Qian family was leaving alone and his mother was going to accompany her grandparents.
The people in Qijia Village gradually followed. There was no need to say anything or shout out. There was a tacit understanding along the way. The men who could free their hands consciously held broadswords or long sticks to protect the surroundings. The elderly, women and children
There was no complaining or crying, but just following the team silently.
Men all remember what Qi Kangan said, in the team are your family members and children, if you protect them, you will protect your family. If you protect the elderly, women and children, you will be of great help.
Such an act that was more silent than loud made many thoughtful refugees around them change their eyes.
It is organized, disciplined, there are many people, and there are real people on hand.
Is it because there are no other options around, or is it because you don’t like the soft guy and you have to go to the hard guy?
-
Counting two days from the time they left Qijia Village, they had been walking for three full months.
Old Man Qi sighed: "I went out on the night of April 17th. It will be July 17th the day after tomorrow. We didn't even worship our ancestors on the 15th day. I don't know if the ancestors blame us?"
They are worshiping their ancestors on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, burning some money and giving them food. They tell their ancestors that they are all fine, don't worry, and let their ancestors bless and protect the younger generation.
But I don’t have the conditions. I don’t have any incense or paper. I originally wanted to make it by myself. I would wrap some branches in rags, stick some oil on them, and add some meaning. They have already done this. They talked to their ancestors, and I think it should be
Understandable.
Unexpectedly, the yamen officials were unhappy when they saw this and ordered not to do this, otherwise they would be driven away.
What can I do?
Nothing can be done.
The old man prayed that he could only quietly take out all the ancestral tablets, let the whole family come and pay their respects, and then put them away, and then make a good apology to the ancestors when things were settled.
Qi Bao'er said nothing. She couldn't tell her that her ancestors had already been reincarnated long ago, so there was no point in worshiping her?
It can't be wrong. When we worship our ancestors, we sacrifice our feelings.
"Good boy, if we keep going forward, how long will it take to get out of the Acropolis?"
This can answer: "Sir, it's been ten days and a half at most. Further ahead is the Acropolis. We are taking the most direct road. After passing the Acropolis, we will reach Xiangbei County, which is the junction with Pingcheng. After leaving Xiangbei County, we can go forward.
After about twenty miles, we entered Pingcheng."
Old Man Qi wondered: Does this mean that if the Acropolis can be passed, Xiangbei County is the key to their last stop? If they can pass, it will be completely safe?
Three months have passed since then, and the number of ten days seems a bit pitiful.
The old man Qi's mouth was about to open and he quickly tightened it, and warned himself: If you tremble at the last moment, you have to hold on, don't scream, because there are many people who fail to tremble at the last moment and get smashed in their hands.
, he can't make this mistake.
It was a very cold day after leaving Yuan'an County. Fortunately, everyone in Yuan'an County had cotton-padded clothes and quilts, instead of most people still stuffed with reed flowers.
There was nothing to eat, nothing was piled on the carts, and there were no belongings left.
Simply use it to push people, the father, mother, daughter-in-law, children all sit on it, put on thick brocade clothes and wrap themselves tightly in quilts, and the men alternate pushing people.
The situation at Lao Qi's house is slightly better. They have a carriage, the carriage is protected from wind on all sides, and a brazier can be lit in the carriage.
Erniu's daughter-in-law is still in confinement and has a place in the carriage, but she can't be alone in the carriage. Without that condition, the women of Lao Qi's family share the same carriage with her, and they can also help take care of the baby.
.
Speaking of Milkman, Erniu's daughter has not yet been named, so everyone calls her girl.
What?
Qi Erniu and his wife wanted Qi Bao'er, the god of fortune, to name the baby, but according to the original rules of their village, the baby's nickname [nickname] was chosen by the family at will.
Come long.
For example, Qi Erniu, whose real name is Qi Lianggui, is one of the most wealthy people, and Erniu is his nickname. He is just called Erniu Erniu, the younger one, and not many people know his big name now.
He is from the same clan as the old man.
Isn’t it true that the eldest old man is confused? The matter of the famous name has been shelved, and the minor name??
Qi Bao'er said, you parents can do it on your own, she doesn't have the habit of naming people randomly.
"Stop." Tian Dazui called to his grandson.
"What's wrong?"
"I went for a walk. The wind blew in the car and the colder I got, the colder I got. I could feel warmer by walking."
There were many young and old who had the same idea as her. Tian Dazui got off the cart, and soon a group of women gathered around him.
Not only is it cold, the wind is also whistling. You can sit still in the car. The wind pours in through the gaps in the quilt, making it even more chilly to the bones.
The quilt is only so big, but with a large family, how can I cover them all firmly?
"Are you wearing cotton shoes?"
"You got it, what? You didn't get it?"
"No, I didn't have any cotton shoes when I got home, so I gave them an extra pair of cotton trousers, which I took apart and made into cotton shoes."
"Then you still make money. How many pairs of cotton shoes can one pair of cotton trousers be converted into?"
"When it fell, it was just a bit ugly, but if we want to look good now, we can just bear the cold."
"No, the cotton shoes I received are still too small. The baby's father put them on and the heels are still outside. I searched around and couldn't find anything I could change. I have no choice but to freeze them."
"That's what happened to me. When I received it, the cotton-padded clothes were all too small."
"We're lucky if we have cotton-padded clothes to wear, otherwise we'd all be in trouble if it was freezing."
"That's right, it's all thanks to the noble concubine."
Tian Dazui was sober. He pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's a shame for us. What his son did is not human affairs. If it weren't for him, would we, such a cold person, suffer here?"
Ordinary people, especially women who had no status at home, who dared to make irresponsible remarks about the Tian family, all fell silent immediately.
They all retreated away from Tian Dazui, quite intent on avoiding suspicion.
Tian Dazui looked around, made a sound and did not move closer to the crowd. He raised his eyebrows, feeling very proud that everyone was complaining that I was alone.
