Chapter 46: The Great Migration
The people who lived in the tomb could only hear the distant sound of bombardment, and when they looked out, they could see nothing but billowing smoke and the dim light of the fire.
After settling down, except for those who were still in shock, everyone else fell into the grief of the destruction of their families. So much so that I couldn't sleep for a long time.
The father and son who defected to Lizheng were also in this group.
Liu Xiucheng was lying in the corner of the stone room with his son in his arms, and there was a large ball of withered grass under him. Liu Zi'an snuggled up in his father's arms and slept soundly, his eyes were red and swollen, and the strangulation marks on his face were clearly visible.
Liu Xiucheng turned a deaf ear to the bombing outside, and only hugged his son and cried silently.
The man has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place.
The one who led the villagers and Li Zheng to grab the land was a thorn head, who was alone, stealing chickens and dogs and doing everything. People call him Street Skin.
Street Pi held a straw pole in his mouth, clutched his hungry stomach and cursed in his mouth.
"Damn, it's all to blame for them, they have to flee and flee, and as a result, the whole village was hated by the officers and soldiers. If it weren't for them, we would still be sleeping on a hot kang at home!
And every family can send a man and some food, and life is still safe and stable. That's good, it's coming to the mountains!"
People silently listened to the words of the street skin, and the more they thought about it, the more resentful they became.
Yes, if it hadn't been for Lizheng's encouragement to flee, they wouldn't have been slaughtered.
At this time, hatred of lepers and officers and soldiers is completely untouchable, and only the big family of Li Zheng and Old Man Li can be touched.
So the villagers hated Li Zheng and Lao Li's family, intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Mingcian handed Shen Xiqiao the explosives, and she didn't stop until the explosives were about to bottom out. Shen Xiqiao was also frightened, he couldn't beat so many people, and there were so many people waiting for him to protect him. Therefore, when he was under pressure, he could only keep throwing explosives, and he didn't even know when the enemy would be scared away.
Shen Xiqiao saw that it was quiet outside, and the sky was bright, and his body slid to the ground against the wall.
Li Mingcian slid to the ground next to him, and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
Mama Wang walked up to the two people with two cloaks and wrapped them around each other.
Li Zheng sat on the ground in shock: "I can't stay here, let's leave quickly." ”
Everyone packed up their belongings, and then Li Zheng and Li Wenhou went to ask the people on the mountain if they wanted to go together.
Li Mingcian leaned on the ground and stretched out his hand to stop Li Wenhou.
Li Wenhou's clothes were dragged, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that Li Mingcian was holding him, so he bent down and lowered his head to approach her.
Li Mingcian said softly: "Bring a grenade, I think you and Li Zheng may be in danger." ”
Li Wenhou thought so. If he were one of those refugees, he would hate him. Even if Li Zheng's original intention was good, even if he was well-intentioned, it ended up with bad results, didn't it?
Li Wenhou fished a grenade from the ground and hid it in his sleeve, and accompanied Li Zheng as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived at the tomb and looked at the hateful gaze of the villagers, Li Wenhou clenched the grenade in his hand, and then walked in the hateful gaze of the villagers as he expected.
Rizheng was visibly stabbed by that gaze. His body was slightly slumped, and his eyes looked around with some uneasiness: "Everyone, someone has found here." Would you like to come with us?"
Street Pi leaned against the crowd, holding a straw stick and looking at Li Zheng and Li Wenhou with bad intentions.
"Phew" spit out the straw stick, and the street skin stood up in front of him.
"What's the matter, I was caught off guard last night, and today you want to pull us over to be strong men?" Street Pi spat on the ground, "Bah, you fucking idle eggs hurt and encouraged everyone to flee, and as a result, everyone was ruined, and you are embarrassed to appear here?"
Street Pi said, raised his hand and pushed Li Zheng fiercely: "Can you not be so shameless! You just drove us here yesterday, and you want to invite us today, why are you so faceful?!"
Li Zheng pushed him down, and then his back fell a little.
Rizheng has actually been blaming himself all the time, and his self-blame has reached its peak after everyone unanimously agreed to get rid of these people.
Jiepi didn't resist at all, and raised the corners of his mouth with joy, and then glanced at everyone present. The middle-aged people sat up on the ground and hugged each other, surrounding Lizheng.
"Li Shuangtong, if you still have a little conscience, take the initiative to give up your family's things, and don't let us people be in the wilderness. "Street Pi took the opportunity to blackmail Lizheng.
Only Liu Xiucheng and Liu Zi'an sat in the corner and did not surround Li Zheng, they quietly moved to the door of the tomb and ran.
Li Zheng didn't dare to respond, he was afraid that his whole family would die because of himself.
The street looked silent and gave the big guy a look, and then a group of middle-aged people rushed up and punched and kicked Lizheng.
Li Wenhou was dumbfounded, this group of people obviously took advantage of the guilt of the family to rob them! Moreover, Li Zheng is a half-old man, so let a group of middle-aged people beat them like this, must they be killed quickly?
Li Wenhou was frightened, he took out the grenade in his arms and found a place where no one was around, pulled the lead and threw it over.
There was a "boom", and the people nearby overturned the heat wave.
After the smoke and fire were extinguished, a larger and huge stone chamber appeared in front of everyone.
Inside, the tomb robbers turned it into a mess, but there were also stone tables and stone benches scattered on the ground.
The street skin threw down the rizheng under his feet and turned around and walked into the stone room.
The villagers were also quite shocked when they saw this, and then followed the street skin and walked in.
Li Wenhou knew at a glance that there was nothing in the stone room. He saw that the villagers had left Lizheng, so he hurried over to help Lizheng up.
Li Zheng's body was kicked dirty, and his face was blue and purple. He watched as the villagers in the stone chamber raised their hands, and then hung limply.
Jiepi looked back at Zheng: "Get out, we won't leave if we have here." Stay here any longer, and be careful that we kill you!"
Rizheng left dejectedly.
Li Wenhou hurriedly clasped his hands and followed.
Li Zheng was beaten so hard that he was limping when he walked, and Li Wenhou hurriedly carried him back.
By the time we arrived at our cave, everyone had already packed their things and were making their final breakfast.
Liu Xiucheng and Liu Zi'an sat on the side holding a bowl and drinking water.
Li Zheng's family was cooking porridge, and he was frightened when he saw Li Zheng so embarrassed.
"Oh, old man, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhengjia greeted him with a spoon.
Everyone was waiting for dinner, and when they heard the shouting of the Li Zheng family, they hurriedly followed and looked up.
Seeing Li Zheng's appearance, everyone was first surprised, and then their hearts were clear.
Ri was being beaten by the group, and they said that it was understandable.
The people in Lizheng's family hurriedly gathered around to ask for warmth. Erniu waved his small fist and rushed to the other side of the hill.
"I'm fighting with them!" Erniu roared.
Li Wenhou stretched out his hand and hugged his waist to prevent him from leaving.
"Little Ancestor!" Li Wenhou hugged and didn't let go, "Can we not make trouble? There are all young adults over there, you used to look for death!"
Erniu continued to struggle hard, really like a calf, almost making Li Wenhou a heel.
"We have to run quickly, otherwise we'll all finish playing when people come back to us!" Li Wenhou shouted with Erniu in his arms.
Everyone knows this.
Li Mingcian was silently holding the bowl and waiting for food on the side, seeing that she was being surrounded by people and asking for warmth, she silently relieved herself.
Overall, it's good that Rizheng is being beaten up now. One is that those people are a little angry, and the other is that Li Zheng's guilt is a little less.
But if Li Zheng really took this fault on himself, so many lives, he really couldn't afford to pay for it.
Everyone got some rest and got ready to hit the road. The father and son of the Liu family silently followed.
Li Mingcian glanced back at them. Liu Xiucheng smiled at her flatteringly.
Li Mingcian turned her head a little embarrassed, and took Erya's hand close to her ear: "Hey, why are they with us, Uncle Liu?"
Erya looked at her in surprise and reached out to hold her ear: "They said it themselves." There are two men in their family, they can work and fight. After talking a lot, Grandpa agreed that they would join us. ”
Li Jingming held Gu'er and watched around silently in the crowd.
After walking for a long time, he raised his hand and pointed to a hill.
"Over there, there's a gold mine. We can go over and get some and bring them with us. ”
Li Jingming didn't hide it at all when he said this, and even took the lead to walk over there.
Shen Xiqiao's footsteps paused, and Li Mingcian saw that his face was obviously sinking, and then his face returned to normal, and he raised his heels to meet the crowd.
The gold mine is still operating.
Li Jingming did not walk in, but stopped near the gold mine. There was a large tree there, and under the big tree a piece of grass was flat and unmarked.
Li Jingming bent down and dug up on the ground. Unearthed a pile of dog's head gold.
"Everybody take some. Li Jingming said.
Everyone present was stunned when they looked at the gold, and no one moved for a long time.
It was the first time that Zhang had seen so much gold at such an age, her eyes were fixed on the gold, and her lips trembled: "Da Lang, where did so much gold come from?"
Li Jingming picked up two pieces and put them in his baggage. Then he leaned against the tree and stared at the ground with a blank expression.
"The eldest prince gave it to me. Li Jingming paused while speaking, and glanced at Shen Xiqiao and Li Mingciao, "He said that I should bring this gold to Sanya, and she can save us." ”
Li Mingchan opened his mouth wide when he heard this.
She heard it right, Shen Xichuan gave her so much gold and asked her to save the village?
"But I couldn't find my way out of the mountain. Now there are only four of us left, so let's divide it. We are children and can't afford to take on the responsibility of saving the village. ”
Li Mingcian understood what Li Jingming meant. He is protecting his shortcomings, and he wants Li Mingcian to be good and not to carry any big beams.
Just look at it like that. Leaders are responsible, and if something happens, the psychological burden will be very heavy.
At this time, Xiao Zhang's beat the crowd and stood up: "I don't think so." Have you forgotten how Sanya and Shen Gongzi fought off those people last night? Those things are the same as the dragon king's manifestations. ”
