Chapter 60: Night Duty
I haven't eaten such a delicious and sweet meal for a long time, Jiang Quinoa and their stomachs are bulging, and they feel panicked when they sit, and they have to hold their stomachs when they stand up. Losing their jobs, everyone doesn't want to move, enjoying the rare quiet.
"Miss, I feel that the identities of those people I met yesterday are not ordinary." Qing Bo paused for a moment and said, "It's not an ordinary refugee. ”
Not to mention Qingbo, Jiang Quinoa also has the same feeling, those people walk in a very orderly manner, although the leader is not very old, but he is very majestic, either his own strength is convincing, or his status is more valuable. But seeing that he is not very old, I think the latter may be greater.
"I heard that those people probably also wanted to help the refugees, but I don't know how they will resettle those people outside the city when we leave." Jiang Quinoa is still a little worried.
This time, the county magistrate did too much and was too desperate, just because he was worried that there would be no food in the granary when Qin sent him to inspect it, which would affect his official position and performance evaluation, so he closed the city gate and cut off the soup kitchen, didn't this make those people outside the city starve to death? She was soft-spoken, and she didn't think carefully at the beginning and put the grain in the granary of the Yamen, which led to being restrained everywhere now, even if she wanted to help those people, there was nothing she could do.
Zhao Liang has been worried since last night, and when he heard them mention this, he told him about his friend's kind advice when he left yesterday.
"Xu Si also said yesterday that those people are not ordinary, he has been in the city all the year round, and he has seen a lot of people, and he still has a little bit of eyesight, he said that those people are not the guards raised by anyone's family, or they have been walking the rivers and lakes all the year round, and they have real kung fu under their hands, just to see that they can quietly follow us for so long without being discovered by us, and when they leave, they can easily carry away generations of food, and they know that their strength is much stronger than ours." Zhao Liang glanced at Jiang Quinoa as he spoke, and said in a low voice: "Xu Si also persuaded us that it is already very good to do this step with our ability, and the fate of those refugees in the future will depend on their luck." Now the county lord doesn't support us, and in order to keep his official position, there will definitely be some small moves, he is not an open-minded person, I'm afraid he will trouble us, Xu Si told us to be careful, it's best not to go to the city recently, and wait until this is over. ”
Qing Bo also nodded in agreement: "Xu Si's worries still have a certain end, let's be careful of these recently, don't leave the village if you have nothing to do, even if you go out, you need two or three people to make an appointment together." ”
It's not that serious, is it? Jiang Qu felt that they were too worried, but thinking that he really didn't have much experience, it was always right to listen to Qingbo's words.
"Let's work hard at night, take turns to be on duty, I am on duty in the first half of the night, and the iron pillar is on duty in the second half of the night." Qingbo arranged.
Jiang Tiezhu nodded, agreeing with this arrangement, the second half of the night is the most sleepy time, his father Qingbo is old, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive, this is also for the sake of safety to arrange him to be on duty in the second half of the night.
Jiang Qu thought that Qing Bo had been running around the city for so long, and he hadn't slept well because he had worked hard, and he planned to let him come back and have a good rest, but who knew that he didn't have this opportunity. She couldn't help but think of the two big wolf dogs raised by the family in her previous life, and with the dog Qingbo, it would be much easier for them to be on duty at night. But in her previous life, the two dogs died so miserably, she couldn't bear to suffer like that again, so she didn't agree to raise a dog at that time, but now she can only work hard for Uncle Qing and Brother Zhuzi.
"Why don't I stay today, anyway, Xingni has a father and eldest brother at home, and they can take care of the family well, I will stay and take turns with Brother Zhuzi on duty, so that Qingbo can rest." Zhao Liang stood up and said.
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again and said loudly: "That's it, there is my father and my eldest brother at home, and I am sure that not a single fly can fly in, and I will stay tonight to guard the yard for the eldest lady." ”
Zhao Liang rubbed his head and scolded with a smile: "You little conscienceless." ”
Jiang Cheng made up his mind and wanted to get to Jiang Quinoa's side, thinking that Jiang Quinoa would leave him earlier, but in the end, he was forced back to his house by Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang sent Xingni and Jiang Cheng home, Jiang Quinoa and Aunt Rong packed up their things, washed up and fell on the bed and couldn't help but roll a few times. In those days outside the city gates, hundreds of people had to eat, drink, and sleep every day, and they had to deal with all kinds of emergencies, and each of them tightened their nerves, and they didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear that someone would make a fuss in the middle of the night, or something would happen somewhere else that would involve this side. Now that I'm back, lying on the familiar bed, the sleepiness is surging up in waves, and I soon fall asleep.
At the moment of ugliness, everything was quiet, and it was the moment when I was asleep, and several shadows appeared sneakily and dodgingly near Jiang's house.
Jiang Tiezhu had just changed shifts, and he slept too soundly at that time, and he still felt a little dazed at this time. The autumn night was already cool, and Qingbo just let them sit in the house, and they didn't have to stand in the yard to get cold.
Rubbing his face that was about to squint together, Jiang Tiezhu shook his head, thinking that there were still several hours before dawn, and he couldn't do this, so he got up and opened the door and went to the kitchen, wanting to scoop two scoops of cold water to wash his face, sober and sober.
The sound of the door opening sounded, even if it was small, but it still spread far away in the silence of the night.
"Knock" There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Jiang Tiezhu's raised feet fell, and he listened quietly, no sound came for a long time, he remembered his father's words, turned around and was about to take the lantern out to inspect it, when he heard a thin cat meow, and after a while, the cat meowed loudly and barked twice.
"Hey, it turned out to be a cat." Jiang Tiezhu felt that he was a little soldier, thinking that there were patrols in the village, if someone entered the village, they would not be able to pass that level, let alone touch the Jiang Mansion in the center of the village.
Entering the kitchen, Jiang Tiezhu scooped up a scoop of water and was about to pour it into the basin, but suddenly saw two lights and shadows running in the yard.
"Ahh The sharp scream sounded in the silent night, waking up Jiang Quinoa and the others in her sleep, she slammed into her body, and didn't react to where she was at first, and when she came back to her senses, Aunt Rong had already touched the scissors to the side of the bed and took her in her arms, staring at the door with a wary expression, the sharp scream was blocked outside the door, and the scream was very terrifying.
"Someone, there's a thief in the house!" Jiang Tiezhu looked left and right, picked up the tongs in front of the stove door, and shouted as he rushed out.
Fortunately, Zhao Liang didn't fall asleep, and got up as soon as he heard the scream, and the two went to the yard to see two sneaky, hidden thieves entering the yard, one of whom happened to be caught by the mouse trap arranged by Zhao Liang, which woke them all up, and they were immediately happy, and rushed up with the flat shoulder under the corridor.
The two thieves were beaten left and right, one of their feet was clamped, and they couldn't dodge and took a few hits, and they didn't dare to reveal their identities at first, but when they saw Zhao Liang and Jiang Tiezhu hitting extremely hard, as if they were not afraid of killing people, they were afraid and begged for mercy loudly.
