There is not much to see in a big stone bridge, not to mention that refugees gather everywhere around the bridge. It is a mess and there is no scenery to speak of. The reason why Chang Yu is eager is just because it is affected by the memories of his previous life. He looks at it under a dead tree on the river bank.
He stared at the stone bridge in silence for a long time. The followers scattered around were all puzzled, but no one dared to ask.
After all, it is a secret sigh. Let's make peace with what we have come. The past life has become a thing of memory. There is no time to be pretentious now. Killing the thieves and defending the country is the top priority. This bridge has stood for thousands of years. Is it possible to protect him and turn the tide to protect the Ming Dynasty?
.
At first, Chang Yu wondered why these refugees gathered on the river bank several miles away instead of under Zhaozhou City. When he got on the bridge and looked into the distance, he suddenly realized that it was not that he couldn't go, but that he couldn't squeeze through. It was several miles from the bridgehead to Zhaozhou City.
, refugees gathered on both sides of the official road.
The sight in front of him made him dumbfounded. The visual impact was different from what he heard and what he saw with his own eyes. Zhaozhou was just a state under Zhending Prefecture. The number of refugees in front of him was at least tens of thousands. It is conceivable that Zhending Prefecture City
The scenes nearby and near Baoding Fucheng were so spectacular.
At this time, he believed that sentence and traveled three hundred miles!
There was a noise in his ears, and Chang Yu turned around to look, but it was the gangsters who were beaten up by Qiao Sanxiu just now who were searching around. He was too lazy to tangle with these scum, so he reached out and smeared a handful of mud on the soles of his shoes.
On his face, he ducked into the crowd and walked toward Zhaozhou City.
There are many low shacks on both sides of the official road, which are used by the refugees as their homes. They are all sallow and skinny and dressed in rags, and their clothes are not covering their bodies. Their ragged eyes are hollow and numb, and they subconsciously stretch out their hands to beg when they see people...
I heard sobbing, but it sounded like a woman was kneeling on the ground holding a corpse and wailing. She didn't know if she died of illness or starvation. People passing by could only glance at it, and they didn't even bother to watch, because of this
This kind of thing is so normal.
Chang Yu walked over, knelt down and took a look. Lying on the ground was a boy of 12 or 13 years old. He was skinny and pale. His hands were cold when he breathed, but he had already died. The woman saw someone beside her.
He raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and sobbed silently. Chang Yu sighed secretly, reached out and took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it to the woman.
The woman was shocked, glanced around quickly, and hurriedly stuffed the money into Chang Yu's arms: "Brother, where did you get the money? There are a lot of bad people here. It's okay if they see you and rob them. I'm afraid you won't even get the money."
People were also harmed..."
"I'm not afraid." Chang Yu shook his head: "This money is not stolen, you take it..."
"I don't want it." The woman shook her head and suddenly whispered: "If you have some grain and rice to give up, I still have a three-year-old daughter... His father and brother are starving to death, so we can't..." She covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
Food... Chang Yu looked confused and stood up slowly, looking around at the sallow and skinny refugees. At this time, food was far more important to them than money, but where was he going to get food!
Chen Ruxin, who was closest to Chang Yu, saw the little eunuch clenching his fists with a look of sorrow and anger. He was worried that he could not control his emotions and slowly walked towards him. He pretended to bump into him accidentally and held Chang Yu's hand: "Little governor,
Calm down." Then he took out the dry food he had brought with him and handed it to him, then turned and left.
Chang Yu looked at the dry food in his hand and slowly calmed down. He knelt down and stuffed it into the woman's hand. The heartbroken woman was startled and looked up, only to see that the filthy young man had slowly left.
The thieves brought harm to the country and the people, and tortured the common people to the point where the people were destitute. Chang Yu was filled with hatred. He looked at Zhaozhou City and secretly swore: Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, regardless of the reason for your rebellion in the first place, you must be responsible for all this. One day, you and other dog heads will be killed to commemorate the common people!
Suddenly, there was a roar of laughter from behind, accompanied by the woman's begging for mercy. It sounded familiar. Chang Yu turned around and saw the bereaved woman being surrounded by a group of people. He was shocked, thinking that the woman was being robbed of food.
I ran back and found that things were not that simple.
The people surrounding the woman were also stewards. When they saw him, he smiled lewdly: "Ms. Liu, which wild man did you sleep with to earn this ration?"
The woman's face turned red, and she lowered her head and begged for mercy: "Guan Tou Wei, Brother Wei, I, I..."
"What the hell, I'm going to go with you guys today. My eldest brother wants to have a try..." The butler laughed lewdly and reached out to touch the woman's hair: "I have slept with so many girls, but you are the only one who lets me
I will never forget it. Serve my big brother well, and the benefits will be indispensable to you..."
"I, I'm not going." The woman was ashamed. Seeing that there were more and more people watching, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but the supervisor was different. His face turned dark and he snorted coldly: "What's wrong? I'm not going.
Where do you get the food to feed your short-lived girl? Do you rely on these two mouthfuls of dry food in your hand? After this meal, what about the next meal? I can tell you, if you don’t go this time, you will beg me to kill you next time.
, I don’t even care..."
People around her laughed loudly, and the woman was so ashamed that she huddled on the ground, howled, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The manager went crazy when he saw the crowd booing and uttering obscene words. He even reached out and touched the woman, which made the onlookers even more excited.
There was a sudden scream, and everyone's eyes were blurred. A figure flew over suddenly, and hit the head of the pipe with a flying knee. His nose was broken, his face was covered with blood, and he fainted to the ground.
Chang Yu clenched his fists and glared at the surroundings. These numb refugees were really pitiful and hateful. He wanted to raise his hand and kill them all.
Guan Tou was suddenly knocked down, and everyone was shocked to find that he was a dirty young man. The rest of the crowd were furious and swarmed forward. The woman screamed in fright, and threw herself in front of Chang Yu to block the gangsters: "Brothers,
He is still a child, please let him go, I, I will go with you..."
Chang Yu patted the woman gently, pulled her behind him, and whispered: "They should be the ones who are afraid, and they should be the ones begging for mercy."
The woman didn't understand, but then she opened her mouth, because just when Chang Yu finished speaking, several people suddenly rushed out from the crowd and punched and kicked the gangsters. In the blink of an eye, there was no scream...
All of them were knocked unconscious by heavy blows!
The plot reversed so quickly that the crowd was stunned for a moment. By the time they reacted, those who came down from the mountain like tigers to knock down the gangsters had rejoined the crowd and disappeared. Only the young man was still there.
Chang Yu took out the broken silver and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "The officers and soldiers will come to suppress the bandits soon. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Go east or go back to your hometown." The woman looked up at him and nodded vigorously with tears on her face.
: "Benefactor, take care..."
At this time, the noise started again, and the scolding continued in the distance. Chang Yu knew that another trouble was coming, so he urged the woman to leave quickly, and then clenched his fists and looked at the commotion in the distance, feeling furious.
, today he wants to kill someone, the kind that kills with his own hands.
The refugees who were watching the excitement suddenly dispersed in a swarm, which made Chang Yu feel a little confused. Aren't they all delicious food? Why did they all run away?
While he was wondering, brothers Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin quietly walked up to him, gently pulled him into a crowd, and then dispersed with the crowd.
"What's going on?" Chang Yu asked in a low voice.
"Lord Governor, look!" Chen Suole tilted his head towards the north. Chang Yu looked over and frowned. He saw more than a dozen people approaching in a show of force, but they were not the supervisors among the refugees, because they had weapons in their hands. This was
Thief army.
