When the men saw them, they all looked at themselves in surprise, no less surprised than they were.
"Didn't you just come from Dashan County?"
Shen Rong explained: "Ah, it's good that we came from Dashan County, but when we set off, there were no riots outside the city."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be extremely interested in what was going on in Dashan County, he asked.
"I wonder if this brother can tell me about the situation over there?"
The man looked at the interested expressions of Shen Rong and the people beside him, then looked at the food they had brought, and his eyes rolled around twice.
Pretending to be weak, he leaned against a tree behind him and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk. It's just that my mouth is dry after driving for days, and I don't have the extra energy to speak."
The corners of the Shen family's mouths twitched. He was in high spirits just now, but they didn't notice that his mouth was dry.
Hua Ling asked innocently: "But uncle, you didn't look thirsty at all when you spoke just now."
The man was said to be a little embarrassed, but only a little.
He secretly raised one eyelid and looked towards the Shen family, and pretended to cough twice.
"Hey, my throat is starting to smoke. I wasn't very tired just now. I must have said so many words before it became like this."
After saying that, he raised his eyes again to see the reaction of the Shen family and the others, and saw that they just looked at him but didn't look angry.
He continued to remind: "I don't have much water or food with me, otherwise I will definitely tell you what happened outside Dashan County."
"Oh, that was really thrilling. Tsk, tsk, tsk~ It's a pity that you didn't see it."
Shen Yuyu pulled Hua Ling back, who had been leaning towards him to see if the man was really as exhausted as he said.
Hua Ling pulled Shen Yu's sleeve and said, "Why don't sister Yu Yu give him some food and water? Ling'er wants to hear his story."
After saying that, he looked at the group of people eagerly, trying to pass the test by being cute.
Old Mrs. Shen's heart softened when she saw her. She pulled the coquettish Hualing to her side and sat down, so that she could listen to the man's "telling stories" more closely.
She looked at Shen Yuyu and asked, "How about giving him some?"
Shen Yuyu nodded slightly, and she was willing to exchange some food and water for the news.
Soon, Shen Dalang took a bamboo tube of water and a few cakes and gave them to the man who was calling out.
The man took the water and pancakes, put them into his dirty bag with a smile, and patted them with his hands.
The man didn't press ahead. After getting water and food, he began to talk about what happened outside Dashan County.
The man said lively: "You don't know, the people in the city agreed to give the refugees outside the city one meal a day, but the porridge became thinner and thinner, and finally it became one meal every two days. Return."
Hua Ling said with great support: "What they say doesn't mean what they say, they are too bad."
The man looked at the little girl who helped him get the food, and found it quite pleasing to his eyes. He continued:
"There is no food, how can people outside the city sit still! In the end, someone instigated us and said that the government in the city does not care about our life or death. How smart I am, I can see at a glance that the person is not well-intentioned and wants us to be a raft. They force the gentlemen in the city to give them food."
The man smiled proudly and continued: "I saw something was wrong, so I ran away and hid behind."
Hua Ling said seriously again: "Then you are really smart!"
Shen Yue: "..." Girl, do you know that you are not very smart?
The man continued: "But not everyone outside the city is as smart as us. After listening to that man's words, they actually went to the city gate to make trouble. They didn't even think about the fight between the people and the officials. , can you fight it?"
"The people in the city must have been guarding against the people outside the city for a long time. In a blink of an eye, I saw soldiers holding arrows standing on top of the city wall, and then the arrows flew down. Yes, the people who caused the trouble are dead, young and old."
"Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I would have been the one lying down."
The man nodded to himself, as if he was very satisfied with how smart he was.
The Shen family also knew from what the man said that not long after they left, the refugees outside the city started fighting with the officers and soldiers in the city.
Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that she patted her heart. Fortunately, they left early.
She asked in shock: "What about the more than a thousand people outside the city, and they are all dead?"
The man looked at Mr. Zhao as if he were a fool, and said: "How is that possible? Although they are not as smart as me, they will not continue to move forward even if they are all dead. Then the remaining people must be alive." They all ran away."
"I came here with those people. If I hadn't been smart, I would have starved to death on the way."
Everyone's faces turned dark. This man was too narcissistic. He kept repeating that he was smart, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
There is no useful information left. Those who survived simply came by one of two ways.
After the man finished speaking, he left with satisfaction carrying his own baggage.
After the man left, the Shen family quickly ate something.
After eating, they planned to continue on their way. They should be able to reach the next county town before this evening.
After the refugees from Dashan County leave, they will definitely come here.
They had been delayed in the woods for such a long time, and they didn't know if all those people had arrived.
Moreover, Dashan County is like that, will the situation here be better?
