Chapter 12: Gangs and Gangs (1)
There are more and more displaced people in the direction of Huaiyang, but after more than a month, the green shade is no longer seen, and it is gray at a glance, the bark and grass roots on both sides of the official road are stripped and eaten, and murder and looting happen from time to time. Many villages along the way have patrols set up by people, and no one is allowed to approach, and it is becoming more and more difficult to beg.
Fortunately, they had been prepared beforehand, and the two women of the Li family were very skillful, and the Li Zhang family's daily eating had not been interrupted for a while. This is much better than many homes. Many of the displaced people who had previously gone to Yuxian County also turned back to this official road, and Zhang Xing saw several familiar faces.
Mr. Wan, who used a bottle of ointment to ask Zhang Shuisheng to change a door panel, was one of them, but the door panel, together with the board car and the tall and thin man who pulled the board car, were all gone, and Mr. Wan had only a twenty-three or four woman and a six or seven-year-old baby by his side. He carried the child on his back, and the woman carried the burden, and both of them were haggard and haggard, and they staggered together.
It turns out that Yuxian County is really overcrowded, although the county government has Kaicheng porridge, but a drop in the bucket, most people can't take their turns, with more and more displaced people, Yuxian outside the city has become a pot of porridge, fights and troubles, killing people and robbing things, nothing is unusual. Seeing that they couldn't stand it anymore, many people turned back and went to Huaiyang.
As for Mr. Wan, his car was robbed before it arrived in Yuxian, and the guy didn't know where to go.
Qi Chongshan and Li Dazhu sighed as they spoke, while Zhang Shuisheng was silent, Ye Hexiang and his son Zhang Jinbao still have no news, and they don't know whether they went to Yuxian or Huaiyang?
Zhang Xing came over with a bowl of water and said, "Dad, wipe your sweat." Zhang Shuisheng stopped his burden, took the sweat towel in his daughter's hand, wiped his sweat, took another sip of water, and asked, "How is Peach?"
Zhang Xing looked back, the stone was holding Zhang Tao, talking and walking. The kid turned out all the things he had done in the past and said that although Zhang Tao was tired and sweaty, he kept laughing.
"You can still walk. Zhang Xing replied.
Zhang Shuisheng looked at his eldest daughter Zhang Xing who was also sweating, handed her the bowl, and said, "Quickly untie the burden, Dad will carry it for a while." "My daughter has really grown up, she is becoming more sensible and capable day by day, and many things are more thoughtful than his father. Zhilu said that they ate and drank all the way thanks to the Li family, and they rushed to do everything first, and never shouted that they were tired.
He also knew that it was not good for people to eat and drink for nothing, but he had no choice, he had nothing. I can survive it, but my two children can't. If the Li family didn't say anything, he pretended to be blind. A few days ago, I don't know where Lu Dao begged for some cooking utensils, and he drummed up eating and drinking, and then he picked up two baskets from nowhere, and let himself weave two mats with straw, and added more and more things with him, although they are all tattered, but they are all needed very much at the moment.
Now they and the Li family are walking together, but they eat and drink separately. On this official road, there are people who can't afford to fall every day, but they always have something in their stomachs every day. Although the Li family will help a little from time to time, the big head is the daughter Zhang Xing.
The two women of the Li family have said to him more than once with emotion that he is blessed to have raised a good daughter.
Like the daughter of the Qi family, who is much older than his own daughter, he has not seen her do any work, and when he rests every day, he is still complaining bitterly, which is not as good as his seven-year-old daughter. Don't talk about other people's daughters, even if it is your mother-in-law's turn to do this, she may not be able to do what her daughter does......
Zhang Shuisheng thought of Ye Hexiang, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. That mother-in-law is a slippery person, not to mention that she has the courage to start a new stove, but I am afraid that she will hum if she begs for food and digs wild vegetables, and I don't know where Lu Dao is now? What are you doing? Also, my son Jinbao doesn't know if Lu Dao is hungry......
Zhang Xing saw his father's brows furrowed again, and guessed that he probably thought of Ye Hexiang and Zhang Jinbao again, but it was really unwise to find someone at the moment. If you don't find someone, no amount of comfort will help, and it's better to divert your attention. She patted the burden on her body and said with a smile, "No need, Dad, I can carry it." ”
Zhang Shuisheng stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me, you go and take Tao'er." ”
The father and daughter were grabbing their backpacks, and the flow of people in front of them suddenly became chaotic, crying and shouting became a loud one, and many people rushed forward. Zhang Shuisheng hurriedly pulled Zhang Xing aside, and then looked back at his youngest daughter, Li Cui's and Li Hong's one pulling Zhang Tao and the other dragging the stone, enclosing the two children beside him.
Zhang Shuisheng's brows furrowed even tighter. Someone should have been robbed. These days, it's common to see things like this, but it's always in the dead of night, or when someone is alone. It's the first time that the blue sky is robbed on the avenue now.
Li Dazhu squeezed over and said, "Let's go, Shuisheng, let's go and have a look." ”
Li Cui and Li Hong have already come over with their two children. Zhang Shuisheng said to Zhang Xing: "Don't go over, just wait here, we'll come over after a look." ”
Li Dazhu and Zhang Shuisheng squeezed into the crowd in front, and the stone stretched his neck to look there, but he was there alone, even if he stretched his neck longer, he only saw some crowds. So when he saw that his mother and grandmother were not paying attention, he led Zhang Tao to the pile of people in front of him as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Zhang Xing was anxious, lest her sister be squeezed out, so she hurriedly told the two women of the Li family, and also ran over, wanting to bring Zhang Tao over. Who knew that the boy of the stone was slippery like a monkey, and led a person to drill and jump around. By the time Zhang Xing caught up with the two, she had already reached the innermost part of the human circle. Zhang Xing couldn't close her feet, and stepped on a pool of bloody water, and a dead person was lying in the bloody water, with a hideous face, looking at her Leng Sensen, who was turning over the goldfish-like dead beads.
Zhang Xing was shocked and quickly retracted her feet. The stone next to him circled Zhang Tao in his arms, and the two children were also so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't move. I saw five or six dead people scattered on the ground, all of whom had been beaten to death, and the dead were hideous, blood flowed all over the ground, and some of them were stripped of their clothes, and their white bellies were exposed under the hot sun. There was a boy about ten years old sitting among two dead people, shaking this and pushing the other, crying, "Grandmother, grandmother, mother, mother......"
Some of the people around were busy grabbing the ground and scattering objects, while others gathered around to point out. Zhang Shuisheng saw that his two daughters had broken into the middle of the scene, and hurriedly pulled them back one by one. I was about to explain that my eldest daughter was about to go out with my sister, when I suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is still a living one." ”
Zhang Xing turned her head to look. The dead man who had been lying on the ground sat up, a young man of about twelve or thirteen years old, with a wound on his forehead, and half of his face was covered with blood, as if his eyes were red with blood, while the other side of his face was white and miserable, with a dazed black eye embedded in it, and he was looking around.
Thinking that the child had just been knocked unconscious before, lying still on the ground, the person who picked up the cheap saw that the people were neatly dressed and rich, and came to collect it, and as soon as he took it, he woke up the child.
The boy had already seen the boy crying on the ground, his eyes widened, he stumbled over, and he picked up the young woman lying on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes like a spring, and his mouth trembled, but he did not whimper, only the sound of teeth fighting.
