Chapter 122 It's too useless to flee from famine and go back halfway
Chapter 122 It would be too cowardly to run away and go back halfway.
So I chose to take the bright road.
"Grandpa, grandma, mother, father, Xiao Yunduo, and Xiao Anzi, are you all okay?"
"I'm fine, sister-in-law! Fortunately, you think quickly."
"Yes! Alas! It's a pity that our ox cart is there!" Shen Yunhe sighed leisurely.
Along the way of escaping from the famine, she was the one feeding the cow, and she had feelings for it.
"Don't say that! If the cow is gone, you can still buy it, as long as nothing happens to you!" Qian Guixiang looked shocked.
Although she knew that Xiaoci was prepared, her nervous heart was still about to jump out of her chest just now!
"Hey! Is there a day when you, a miser, can see so clearly?" Shen Dashan looked at Qian Guixiang teasingly,
Qian Guixiang hit him directly: "Hey, by the way, aren't our grains and bacon on the oxcart? Why are they gone?"
"Mom! When I saw those horse bandits coming, I secretly hid the grain and bacon. We can just wait for the horse bandits to leave later and then we can go get them!"
"Xiao Ci, you are really foresighted. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our family wouldn't be able to eat food!"
Qian Guixiang was still frightened,
Just because Jiang Ci saved the food, it doesn’t mean that everyone in the village did!
The loudest cry in the crowd was the woman pointing at Jiang Ci:
"These bandits are not human beings. My beautiful daughter was snatched away alive by them. I have already arranged a marriage for her. How can I deal with Yuan Li!"
And Jiang Ci glanced at the mother-in-law in disgust,
This person just wanted to harm her!
This person is really ridiculous. When he came to see her for medical treatment and buy Qiuli ointment a few days ago, he praised her so much that he praised her so much. But when disaster struck, he immediately pushed her out of the way to block the gun.
If the bandit leader hadn't taken the girl away in the end and taught the woman a lesson, she would have to seek justice for herself!
"Don't pay attention to this mother-in-law! Even though her daughter's face is as beautiful as a flower, her hands are almost the same as mine. I don't know how this mother-in-law can tease her daughter at home! I heard that this mother-in-law put her at the beginning of the year Her daughter has long been sold to the town officials for ten taels of silver, so she is so anxious!"
Mrs. Qian Wang was licking her pumpkin seeds and looking at the old woman with a look of disgust on her face.
Jiang Ci blinked, a little confused: "Grandma, how do you know so much about what's going on in this village?"
"That's what people in your village said when I went to the river to wash clothes!"
Qian Wang looked relaxed and pointed at several of them:
"Did you see that little lady? The son of the Wang family bought her from outside after he got pregnant! She cost a full three taels of silver!"
"And that man, who looks like a decent man, actually climbs the wall of the widow in the village every now and then."
"And that brat, even though he looks like a human, he actually has a lot of guts, and his little mouth is really good at coaxing women. There are two or three women he hangs with, all of whom are from our village!"
"And that little girl, even though she looks short and short, she is actually quite naughty. She is the one who loves her the most in the family!"
The Shen family all looked at each other, not expecting Qian Wang to have such skills.
While the Shen family was still in a funny mood, the village was full of sighs and anger:
"These damn horse bandits have stolen all our food. How can we survive?"
"As honest as you are, if someone wants you, you'll hand over everything. What are we going to eat next?"
"I would rather die in the village, so that I can find my way home when I die. But if we continue to flee, we don't know where we will die!"
"The food is gone, the money is gone, and we will wait to die!"
But Jiang Ci turned a deaf ear to the voice in her ears,
She did not cause these people's plight!
There is no need for her to pity!
Besides! Their family also lost a bullock cart!
Although there were still cows and carts in the space, Jiang Ci still felt a little unhappy about having her things taken away!
"Village Chief, we have traveled so far and we haven't seen anyone fleeing the famine. Moreover, there are so many creeks in our village. A drop in the water level does not necessarily mean there will be a drought! If we continue walking like this, we don't know how many bandits we will encounter.
, let’s not flee, let’s stay in the village!”
"Yes! We can still earn hard money by staying in the village and collecting medicinal herbs from Sanlang's wife's family, and the fields can also produce food. We can survive by making do with each other. If we continue to flee from famine, our lives will be lost.
Got it!"
"Village Chief, it's not that we don't listen to you, it's just that if we continue to run away like this, we will go through countless robberies! We are all farmers, how can we save our lives!"
And the village chief smoked a big cigarette,
Although he didn't speak, the thick smoke coming out of his mouth showed that he was not feeling well at the moment.
Jiang Ci doesn't care. Anyway, even if the Liao army invades the village, she will try her best to lead her family out of the siege! And she has enough food stored in her space, so it doesn't mean much to her whether she can escape or not!
"Village Chief! Look, it's late autumn now, and there aren't many edible wild vegetables. If there's no food, it wouldn't be unusual for us to starve to death on the way out!"
"Yes! It's going to be winter soon, and the prey has also gone through the winter. There are no leaves on the trees, so what are we going to eat? Not to mention eating, I think we are freezing to death in the forest, and no one else knows."
"Why don't we wait until next spring before escaping, village chief? Let's get over this winter first!"
"The main reason is that our village is also poor. During the winter, the whole family wears cotton-padded clothes. Whoever works wears the cotton-padded clothes. The rest of the people can huddle together at home to keep warm. But in the wild, let's not say that the whole family is huddled together.
Together, even if a whole village of people are crowded together, it will still be cold!"
…………
"Have you all thought about it?" Li Zheng also frowned,
"Think about it, think about it!"
A group of people immediately responded,
Seeing that the people in the village are now discouraged, and a lot of food was stolen from their home by horse bandits, there is really no food left, and the village chief is not that angry anymore.
"Then let each family send a person in charge to vote, and we will obey the majority."
After saying that, he left,
Leave Li Zheng to vote with everyone,
"Dad! What do you think about this?" Shen Shuxuan rarely took the initiative to ask,
Shen Dashan leaned on the tree trunk, as if he had aged several years: "What can I think? The horse bandits all had knives. How could we commoners have caused this? But they fled halfway and came back like this.
It’s so useless!”
"There are only two reasons for going back so cowardly: First, the people in our village are too weak in force. The horse bandits only have a hundred or ten people. But in our village, there are 300 households and thousands of people, and no one dares to resist! Secondly,
: The quality of the villagers is uneven. At the critical moment, without a pioneer, even if we return to the village, in this unpeaceful era, sooner or later we will become a piece of fat in others' mouths!"
