Exquisite facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a chubby little face with baby fat hanging on it, a straight nose bridge, and a small cherry mouth.
Her hair is wrapped with a jade crown, and she is wearing a small blue satin gown. A finger-wide belt is inlaid with a drop-shaped jadeite in the middle. A small purse embroidered with gold thread hangs on the left side of the waist, and a white and green one hangs on the right side.
Two jade pendants.
Apart from having a lifeless gray complexion, Ah Piao is not only not scary but also very good-looking and expensive.
It can be seen from this that he is not only valuable in person, but also in his status during his lifetime.
In the Qilin Kingdom, men wear a jade crown to have a noble title, and the two jade pendants A Piao Zai wears around his waist are called bumping jade. At least the descendants of their ancestors must have meritorious service to be eligible to wear them.
Old man Qi's exclamation was because of these.
This kid has a good background, doesn’t he?
Qi Kang'an also looked at Ah Piao and was a little confused. Is his Bao'er just recruiting someone with such a great background?
On the other end, Qi Bao'er has already started chatting with Ah Piao Zaizi, and the content is as follows:
Qi Baoer: "How long have you been in Sanhe Town?"
Ah Piaozi: "I don't know, I don't remember. It's been a long, long time. I don't remember how long. I've seen many three generations of grandparents disappear one after another."
He must be at least a hundred years old soul, why is he still so weak?
Qi Baoer: "How many people are there in Sanhe Town now? Who are they?"
Ah Piao Zaizi: "There are two hundred and seven, they are all gangsters who used to be around here. The leader is the younger brother of the concubine of a deputy general named You who lives next to General Liu."
I guessed it right. Sure enough, there were still people left at this time, and it must be related to General Liu and the others.
Qi Baoer: "What have they done? Why did they stay?"
Ah Piao Zizi: "After the county magistrate ran away, they started to scare people everywhere, saying that General Liu's troops would soon arrive at Sanhe Town. They also had people pretending to be soldiers and wandering around outside the town, threatening the people in the town.
Many people were frightened.
The rich people fled with their families overnight, but the ordinary people did not survive for two days. Those people did all kinds of bad things, smashing, looting, arresting girls, and killing 0 people at will. There was not a single person with more than 200 people who had blood on their hands. The ordinary people did not
The only option is to escape.
They stayed mainly for the treasures and food left behind after the rich people in the town ran away. They ran away in a hurry, and almost every house on the East Street had something left behind."
There was also the matter of sending away and collecting Jun Ji from General Liu's military camp. He had just sent away hundreds of people just the day before yesterday, so he wouldn't talk directly about this with the little girl.
Old man Qi and Qi Kang'an looked at each other.
Old man Qi raised his eyebrows: Two hundred people were once gangsters.
Qi Kang'an blinked and touched his nose: Dad, there are a lot of things, and they are all good things.
At this point, the old man Qi was a little bit flinched: If we have a life to think about, do we have a life to take it?
Qi Kang'an stared: Why not? There are about two hundred gangsters, and there are three to four hundred of us guys in total. Two of them are fighting one.
Old Man Qi: Then they don’t have a guy?
Pray for Kang'an: We also have kitchen knives, hatchets, and hammers. If not, we can get some sticks.
Old man Qi: Hey, you are a dung beetle who goes to the hut, right?
Qi Kang'an: Dad, I'm not kidding, it can really be done.
Old man Qi,,,Old man Qi turned his head and saw two little heads huddled together looking at them curiously. One was rosy and cute, and the other was so pale that it made people panic.
The two of them asked in unison: "What are you doing?"
Oh no, his chest hurts.
Qi Kang'an was a little excited at this moment. He had already forgotten that Ah Piao was not a normal person. He squeezed the old man Qi away, and his big face was in front of two small faces.
"Bao, ask him, where do most of the people in the town usually live? Do they live separately or together?
Are there regular patrols in the town? If so, what are the patrol rules?"
There was no need for anyone to tell him, as A Piao Zai was only two fists away from his face.
"There are no patrols, and they are not afraid of refugees passing by. Sanhe Town only has two entrances and exits, the north and south gates. They guard the gates on both sides and require their consent for refugees to enter or exit.
There is a Wu Mansion in the town, which is related to the Zhenbei General Mansion in the capital. It does a lot of business and is the richest person in the town. Those people all live in the Wu Mansion."
Qi Kang'an asked again: "Do they usually take to the streets?"
Ah Piao Zaizi replied: "Yes, during the day they will go to every house to look for valuable things."
"Do they have weapons in their hands?"
"There are swords and knives, but not everyone has one. Most people use sticks."
"How many knives are there in total?"
"The sword used by Lieutenant General You's concubine's brother was found in the iron shop. The swords used by the dozen or so people close to him were also found in the iron shop. There were sixteen of them, and one was found in the yamen.
.”
"Don't you have kitchen knives or hammers?"
"I don't have these. We all took them with us when we escaped."
Qi Kang'an also thought about it. Whoever runs away does not take all the sharp weapons around him to be just in case and to be more courageous.
At this time, Qi Bao'er had changed his position and looked at them both with old man Qi.
The old man Qi was punished by his eldest son, and suddenly he no longer felt any fear towards Ah Piao.
"Good boy, are ghosts so easy to talk to?"
It wasn't until this moment that he realized how flawed his family's skill was.
No one can see Ah Piao, he floats wherever he likes, he knows whatever he wants to know, and he is tireless.
"No, some are very fierce." It's a beautiful thought. If you encounter a fierce ghost, it can chase you and call you "Ba Ba".
The old man didn't ask how bad it was. He wanted to get involved in Bao'er's world, but for the time being he wasn't too accepting of anything too scary, so the one in front of him was just okay.
Qi Bao'er took out two sticks of ripe corn that were still warm to the touch and gave one to Old Man Qi.
The two of them were facing away from the men behind them, so there was no need to worry that they could see where she took it out from.
It's quite funny. You could say it's a coincidence, but it's a bit too much.
It was as if God had done the screening for them. The seventeen households that did not follow this time were all households with little surplus food. The remaining ninety households had enough food to last at least half a month.
They were nibbling, sitting in rows over there without stopping, and they were all eating until they were full. Her father had just told her to prepare for going to town later.
Looking over from the men, the old man Qi and Qi Baoer had their backs to them, their heads slightly lowered and shaking occasionally, as if they were discussing something. Qi Kangan was talking to them.
Didn't stop.
"Dayou, do you think Bao'er is really...??" Calm down and think about it, gods, are they really lucky enough to have him around them?
Gao Dayou wiped his face and nodded firmly: "It's definitely true, Brother An won't lie to others."
Even if it's not, it has to be. When there is no hope, it will be like that. If there is hope, then it must be. Otherwise, this group of people may not be able to go very far.
