(124) Turning danger into kindness
What is it called?
Take care of one or the other, or will you take revenge?
With a wry smile, these victims are all crazy from the hardships of life, and since they got on the car, they are afraid that her carriage will not come back. Lin Mengyao almost accepted her fate, but at this moment, a relatively strong man roared, startling the crows on the trees to "flutter" their wings and flying wildly, and even more shocked that the victims who had climbed into the carriage did not dare to move again.
"Brother Ma, please first, please first-" A man who got into the carriage beckoned everyone to get out of the carriage, then nodded and rubbed his hands and walked to the man surnamed Ma: "We are not sensible, please don't ......be strange to Brother Ma."
It is clear that the man surnamed Ma is the leader of this group of victims.
I saw the man surnamed Ma snorting coldly at the man with a black face, and then shouted: "Listen to me, no one can move this carriage!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu slaughtered him-"
At the sound of the order, the victims of the disaster quickly retreated three feet to make way for the surnamed Ma so that he could approach the carriage. Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Ma turned around and came straight to Lin Mengyao and the others.
Now that they have formed a gang and a leader, this gang of victims is no longer just a disaster victim. Guo Wei walked through the rivers and lakes, for fear that this surnamed Ma would be unfavorable to Lin Mengyao and other female dependents, so he hurriedly hid them behind him.
However, something unexpected happened, and the man surnamed Ma actually bowed his hand to Lin Mengyao: "I frightened Mrs., and asked Mrs. to atone for her sins." We definitely can't ask for your carriage, so please let yourself go and ......."
That's a surprise!
Lin Mengyao and the others didn't dare to believe this person, and looked at each other. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. Guo Wei looked at the surnamed Ma, and then at Lin Mengyao and the others, after all, it was a look of motion, and the five of them walked through the same bewildered crowd and slowly walked towards the carriage. Safely getting into the carriage, Guo Wei waved his whip like a car, but a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"Can't let them go! They're gone, where do we get the money-"
"yes, we're all dying!"
"We're counting on wagons for food!"
Several voices of opposition sounded in the crowd, and they were immediately echoed by everyone. Everyone shouted in unison: "Can't let it go." Can't put it-"
But Qi Hu Qi Hu Qi Hu, Xu was forced by the prestige of the surname Ma, and everyone did not dare to approach the carriage. But though they did not come near. But gradually it formed a circle. Plug the carriage inside.
"Man dies for money. Birds die for food", right now, whether it's wealth or food. This man is willing to die for it!
Guo Wei was sweating in a hurry, and Lin Mengyao and the others were also holding hands, and beads of sweat oozed from their palms. If these people really get mad, then it is not a problem that a carriage can solve.
"Miss, should we abandon the carriage?" Huizhu said worriedly
Cuizhu stood up sideways, roaring to get out of the carriage: "I'm going to fight with them!" ”
"Spell what?" Lin Mengyao grabbed Cuizhu, wiped the tears on her face and said, "Do you have three heads and six arms, or do you have King Kong's incorruptible body?" Spelled? I'm afraid that your little girl will be eaten before she gets out of the carriage! ”
After weighing it, Lin Mengyao opened her mouth and called Guo Wei: "Mr. Guo, this carriage is ......"
Before the words fell, a shout surnamed Ma came from outside: "What are you doing?" Do you know whose carriage it is? Get out of the way—"
"No one's carriage will work, take this carriage to the gate of the city, you can exchange it for two bags of rice, that's life-saving rice-"
"Yes, we don't want to kill us, we want to exchange the wagon for two bags of rice—"
"We're just going to stutter!"
The dispute outside became more and more intense, but Lin Mengyao's heart calmed down: If it was just like this, it would not be a problem. Lin Mengyao instructed in Guo Jin's ear for a while, and Guo Wei was just about to speak, when the voice surnamed Ma sounded again.
"Do you do this ungrateful thing for the sake of two sacks of rice? Aren't you afraid that God will strike a thunderbolt to kill you? The man surnamed Ma roared angrily and held a thick wooden stick: "If anyone dares to step forward again today, I will beat the ungrateful to death with a stick!" ”
Seeing that the surnamed Ma was so protective of each other, and hearing the surnamed Ma saying "kindness" all over again, Lin Mengyao immediately thought of the child she had just saved.
It's just that the next words of this surnamed Ma surprised her.
The man surnamed Ma pointed to the carriageway: "You take a good look at the sign on the carriage, it is the carriage of the Gu family!" Isn't it ungrateful that you should rob the carriage of your benefactor's house? In vain, Gu Gongzi sent us food and medicine every day, and this is how you repay Gu Gongzi? ”
Gu Gongzi?
Gu Beichen?
Lin Mengyao suddenly remembered that Gu Beichen's disappearance some time ago was not to relieve the victims?
In fact, just as Lin Mengyao thought. Although Gu Beichen was very dissatisfied with Lin Mengyao's "generosity", he would not ignore her because of this. In those few days, Qin An talked about the plague among the victims outside the city, so he allocated a lot of medicinal materials from the Gu family pharmacy to help the victims together with Qin An. Only the attitude of the victims outside Tonglu City was really insufficient, so Gu Beichen stayed in the inn near the city gate for several days.
"This is Gu Gongzi's wife!"
There were already literate whispers in the crowd, and it didn't take long for the crowd to quickly make way for them to make a way, and then knelt down in the middle of the road, remorseful and confessed.
The man surnamed Ma stepped forward with an apologetic face: "Madam, I'm really ashamed, I hope that Mrs. has a lot of them, don't meet with our gang of rough people!" ”
Facing everyone's kneeling, Lin Mengyao's heart trembled, and she hurriedly responded: "Brother Ma's words are serious, a qiē...... Pardonable! ”
Walking out of the carriage, Lin Mengyao called the eldest brother surnamed Ma. In this situation, this "big brother" obviously has the intention of being deliberately close, but there is no lack of respect for him. Don't say that you know how to repay your kindness, that is, the matter of revenge, which is also common in this situation where famine and plague are rampant, but he has always protected them.
Lin Mengyao saluted very gratefully, then took out the silver taels and handed them to Guo Jin, and when Guo Wei summoned a few powerful victims to the city gate, he continued: "If there is a harvest, who is willing to do such a thing, you are all forced by life to be helpless." Meng Yao's heart is strong but her strength is insufficient, so she can only ask the gentleman in the house to buy some rice for you......"
While talking, Guo Wei and the others had already carried a bag of rice each, and walked towards this side from a distance, and there were more than a dozen people in the group! Guo Wei came forward and showed the Gu family's sign, which was naturally better than the disaster victims being blackmailed by the guards.
When the victims who originally surrounded the carriage saw this scene, they were all grateful, and bowed to Lin Mengyao again and ......
Far away from the stricken area outside the city gates, the "creaking" of the carriage was repeated all over again. The breeze rushed into the carriage, and Lin Mengyao only felt a slight chill on her back, and then realized that she was sweating just now. It's also scary to think about it, if it weren't for Gu Beichen's reason, I'm afraid that I really don't know how to end up today.
As a result, Gu Beichen's understanding is deeper. Lin Mengyao looked at the trees on the road that kept falling, and Gu Beichen's figure couldn't help but flash in her mind: When she came out of Ningyun Pavilion, she didn't say anything to anyone, and now she doesn't know if Gu Beichen knows that she left? (To be continued......)
