Chapter 52: The Granary

The atmosphere in the city today is particularly strange, the patrols have been a little loose before, but now they have suddenly stepped up.

The catchers came and went on the street, constantly expelling the people who were wandering on the street, and Jiang Quinoa frowned.

This time, the county master is too anxious, even if there are bandits who want to come, then you can talk to them first, and everyone can get along with a good solution, he is good, he doesn't say anything and directly closes the city gate, and now he is even more asked to arrest and expel pedestrians, doesn't this cause panic for everyone?

The catchers also knew Jiang Quinoa and them, but they didn't embarrass them much, and kindly advised them to go back quickly, not to stay outside, it was not safe.

When Jiang Qu heard their words, her heart sank, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, and when she arrived at the granary, she knew that what she was worried about had finally happened.

Catch quickly and unceremoniously pushed them: "The granary is farming, and it is forbidden for idle people to approach, retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." As he spoke, he patted the knife hanging from his waist, with a fierce expression.

"Hey, our grain is in it, we should transport our grain out first, otherwise we won't leave." Jiang Chun shouted, if others met such a fierce and vicious person, they would be afraid, but she was just the opposite, she was not afraid of these people.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of them, he was not in a good mood, his face was sudden, he drew a knife and came out, and he was bright: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood today, hurry up and leave while Lao Tzu is not angry, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to." ”

"What are you doing, our grain is in your warehouse, you pull the grain out for me, I don't need you to drive myself away." Jiang Chun put his hands on his waist and confronted the catcher.

Aunt Rong pulled her tightly, for fear that she would really start with someone.

Jiang Qu's eyes swept carefully at the door of the granary, and when he had a score in his heart, he grabbed Jiang Chun and said: "Catch up big brother, I'm sorry, if we are young, please don't care if you say the wrong thing, let's go, let's go." As he spoke, he dragged Jiang Chun, who was still thinking about theorizing, away.

After turning a corner, and when he couldn't see the granary, Jiang Chuncai patted his chest and asked with a scared face: "How is it, how is it, I didn't show my stuffing." ”

Jiang Qu took her arm and praised: "The performance just now was very good, if I hadn't been deceived beforehand, I would have been deceived until I was sure." ”

Jiang Chun suddenly smiled.

Aunt Rong said worriedly: "What can we do now, the county lord keeps the grain in the granary, and we can't take it out, there are so many refugees outside the city, if they make a fuss because there is no food, the few catchers and guards at the gate of the city may not be able to stop them." ”

Jiang Quinoa was also worried about this, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the city gate, and when Qingbo and the others come over, let's discuss what to do together." ”

Aunt Rong and Jiang Chun nodded, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, and the three of them ran all the way to the city gate.

Fortunately, the guards at the gate of the city were still very good to Jiang Quinoa, and a room was specially vacated for Jiang Quinoa and several of their female dependents to live temporarily, but because the order issued by the county magistrate did not mention this, they turned a blind eye and still let Jiang Quinoa and them live there, which gave them a place to stay.

Qingbo and the others had already gotten the news, and they had already hurried back, their faces heavy.

"The county lord doesn't see us now, it seems that he has made up his mind and is unwilling to open the city gate." Qingbo said.

"These dog officials, where are the people in their eyes, and human life is so despicable to them?" The good-natured Liao Xiucai was angry and blew his beard and glared at the table.

People can be ruthless, although it has only been half a month, but although these refugees outside the city are in trouble, they still know how to be polite and righteous, and they know how to be grateful, and Jiang Qu They have a very good sense of these people. Now it is very unbearable to watch them starve to death outside the city.

Jiang Quinoa clenched his fists and said: "I donated that food, just to prevent the refugees from going crazy when so much food was delivered, and I was worried about causing panic, but I didn't expect the most poisonous snake to lurk behind it, waiting for it to bite us at any time." ”

The people in the room gritted their teeth in popularity.

The bell hanging under the back window suddenly rang, and the eyes of everyone in the room jumped, Jiang Quinoa made a look, and said loudly: "Forget it, this matter should be eaten and wise, don't trust others in the future, I have written a letter to someone to send it to the capital to my father, tell him everything about this side, and see what he does." Aunt Rong, you go and pack your things first, let's stay for a night tonight, and then go out of the city and back to the village tomorrow." ”

"Hey, I'll go." Aunt Rong received Jiang Quinoa's hint, stepped heavily, and shouted loudly: "Miss, now that there is no food, what will we eat at night." ”

"Isn't there still two bowls of rice, save some to eat, let's make do with it in the evening." When the letter from the capital comes, I will definitely ask my father to talk to the boss, and I will not let the county lord have a good time. Not only did he ignore my food, but he didn't even give me rations. Jiang Quinoa pretended to be angry and complained loudly.

There were complaints and persuasions in the room for a while, and after a while, Zhao Liang looked out and saw that there was no one left, so he shook his head.

Jiang Quinoa wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This county master is so not a thing, he even finds someone to stare at Miss."

Jiang Qu smiled bitterly: "The county master doesn't want the bandits to enter the county seat, and second, he doesn't want to offend me." It's a pity that he wants to be left and right but has no sleek ability, and he is timid and afraid of things, but he seems to occupy the credit of others, of course, he is not confident enough. Now that we know what we want, someone will bring food in the evening. ”

Who knew that Jiang Quinoa guessed wrong this time, and after a stick of incense, someone sent food over. The county magistrate didn't even wait for dark this time.

At night, I cooked a big pot of porridge, and heard the heart-rending shouts of the refugees on the other side of the city wall, as well as the sound of banging on the city gate, and the hearts of the listeners were numb.

When it got dark, the lights were blown here, and after half an hour, no one paid attention to the small room where Jiang Quinoa and they were temporarily staying, the door was quietly opened a gap one person wide, and five or six figures quietly came out, seeing that there was no one nearby, the big-headed man waved his hand, and the people behind followed.

Along the way, the six of them walked and stopped, evading the patrol's catch from time to time, and hiding in the shadows along the way.

Usually only half an hour away, this time I walked for more than an hour, and when I arrived at the place, six people detoured the wall, one of them carefully walked around, and finally pointed out and nodded, and the others knew that this was the place to find, so they handed over a small ladder from behind.

After all six people climbed the wall and lay on their stomachs, they lifted the ladder and put it on the wall, and when everything was covered up, they jumped off the wall.
