Chapter 507: A Man-Made Tragedy
"Oops! Oops! After seeing someone in the car getting down, a thin teenager screamed louder in pain than before, and rolled on the ground while hugging his knees, and complained in his mouth, "Big brother, you are also ruthless, we just want to beg for a stutter, and we are not a villain, why are you so ruthless, an adult bullying a group of children, you are embarrassed!" ”
Su Miao got out of the carriage and walked to Lin Yan and Chunniang to stand beside her, watching the child complain about Qiuhua's "evil deeds" with strong words, while screaming in pain and rolling towards her with a grunt. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was dark all around, only a little light from the lantern, Su Miao could see that the child had a pair of big and eccentric eyes, his limbs were much longer than ordinary children, with a lean and shriveled figure, like a wild monkey. This little monkey rolled a pair of round eyes, rolled in front of Su Miao's skirt after a few words, and then suddenly jumped up, and quickly struck, about to restrain Su Miao!
However, Su Miao is faster than him!
This is just a teenager, and he is in the midst of hunger, all with an innate fierceness. Anyway, this child is too small, and he can barely reach Su Miao's chest when he stands up, and after Su Miao easily restrained him, he tried his best to struggle and didn't break free, but Su Miao grabbed his placket and lifted him up.
"It's so small!" Su Miao held him in both hands, looked at him for a while, and pursed her lips.
The young man didn't expect that he was actually mentioned by a woman, just now he just realized that this was a woman and didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, but then he found that this woman was actually much taller than ordinary women, even taller than some men, he stared at him in surprise, and then shouted indiscriminately:
"The giantess is here! The giantess is going to kill! ”
"......" Su Miao suddenly felt very angry, and after letting go of him, she smashed a fist on the top of his head, "Don't talk nonsense!" Bastard boy! ”
"It hurts!" The young man held his head that was about to be smashed out of the bag, glared at her with teary eyes, and said loudly in a condemnatory tone, "What's the matter with you woman, are you embarrassed that an adult bullies a child, I haven't done anything bad, why did you beat me, people say that women are bodhisattvas made of water, I haven't eaten for three days, you don't say pity me, you bully me, I, me, wow......" He was angry, hungry and self-pitying, and even cried loudly as he spoke.
"Hey, you bastard!" Even Qiu Hua couldn't stand it, it was the first time he had met such a brazen little beggar who was good at reversing black and white, and he was almost about to scold this kid, but in the end, this kid actually cried, well, in fact, it was really pitiful to escape from the disaster after nine deaths, and it was such a young child, so hungry that he robbed the road and asked for money and things, although it could not be forgiven, it was understandable, Qiu Hua looked at this child and couldn't help sighing, I heard that Lu Nan's disaster was a rare tragedy in thirty years, and I don't know how many such children there are, There are many more miserable than such children.
"It's not a bad thing to shout 'robbery' when you shout 'robbery', even if you choose to block the road and rob because you haven't eaten for many days, it's understandable, but it's not right to rob." Su Miao slowly squatted in front of the weeping young man, smiling, exuding the bright light of the Evangelist's Virgin.
The crying young man suddenly hit Su Miao's face door with a heavy punch!
"The little poor child who hopes to be 'pitied' by others will not live happily." Su Miao clasped his hand accurately, said with a smile, and in the exclamations of Chunniang and Lin Yan behind him, the other hand that hid the young man behind his back folded hard, only to hear the sound of "dangchang", and an iron knife fell to the ground.
The young man's face turned pale, his eyes widened and he glanced at the knife that had fallen to the ground, and then looked at Su Miao in shock.
Su Miao patted his dirty little face, and said with a smile: "A man who believes that 'women are made of water' will definitely suffer from women, although you are not a man yet." Then his face changed, he picked up the young man, kicked him hard in the ass, and scolded, "Forget about robbery, you are from Lunan, it is understandable to grab food and drink, but you dare to take out a knife and hurt people's lives at a young age, this is a matter of conduct, this is a matter of whether you will become a scum in the future, stinky boy, if I see you doing this kind of thing again, I will break your hand, do you understand?" ”
The boy was kicked to the ground, threw himself on the ground, grinned his teeth, and didn't get up for a long time.
Su Miao looked at so many half-grown children on the ground, had a little headache, frowned, and said to the aftertaste that had never said a word:
"What about these children, we don't have anything to eat in our carriage, and Lu Nan is not close to Liangdu, how did they come here?"
"Of course it's coming!" The boy rubbed his buttocks, sat on the ground, grinned his teeth, and replied angrily.
"I didn't ask you!" Su Miao glanced at him and said with a look of disgust.
"I'm from Lunan and you don't ask me?!" The boy was shocked that he was actually disgusted, pointed to the tip of his nose, and his eyes widened.
Su Miao ignored him and looked at the aftertaste.
Aftertaste walked to the boy on the ground without saying a word, at this time the boy felt that every step he took seemed to be able to bring a cold wind straight into his heart, making him cold all over his body, inexplicable, the boy was a little afraid of him, a pair of eyes flashed with horror, he subconsciously retreated, but he could only take half a step back, he sat on the ground, leaned his neck, and looked at Aftertaste in a daze.
Aftertaste already knew that this young man was the leader of this group of children, he stood in front of the young man, with one hand on his shoulder, he didn't have Su Miao's good temper and had to squat down and talk to the child:
"What's your name? Where is Lunan from? ”
"Shao, Shaoyang, from Lunan Mu County." The boy replied tremblingly.
"Who are they?" Aftertaste raised his chin to the boy who was piled up on the side and asked.
Shao Yang felt that this person was very much like an official errand of a prisoner, and his heart became more and more abruptly beating, swallowing his saliva, and always felt that he had kicked the iron plate this time, obviously he did not choose the gorgeous and terrifying carriage of the official eunuchs, why is this person more terrible than the official master who sits in the gorgeous carriage:
"Hui, Hui, three of them are my fellow villagers, and the rest are all met on the road." He couldn't help but bring honorifics, this kid can bend and stretch, be able to speak, be smart and clever, and it is no wonder that he is thin and small but can be the leader of so many children.
Shaoyang is a farmer child in Lunan Mu County, his father joined the army in his early years, he learned some boxing and kicking from his father since he was a child, although he was born thin, but his body is flexible, coupled with his smart mind, he has been the head of the four children since he was a child. Although the heavy rain in Lunan has also affected Mu County, it is not as serious as around Zicheng, although the harvest in Mu County this year is not good, and the heavy rain has washed away many roads and many houses have been washed away, but it is far from the extent that the entire Mu County will be submerged. The disaster originated from the release of water from the Nanxia Dam, that day Shao Yang and his three partners braved the rain to go up the mountain to cut pigweed and plan to feed the pigs, even if the torrential rain had to live, the harvest was not good, if even the pigs were starved to death, it was really all over, with such a mood four people went up the mountain, who would have thought that the four people had just climbed to the top of the mountain, and the rumbling water below was surging without warning, and in the blink of an eye, all the villages at the foot of the mountain were flooded, almost instantly, the village became a river, and there was no trace of land in sight, and at this time, The four teenagers became the last survivors of Mu County.
Later, the disaster became more and more serious, and then the Nanxia Dam collapsed, and the entire province of Lunan became a hell, and the four survivors had to leave Lunan in order to survive. Because they are young, they are not bullied by adults, but fortunately, Shaoyang is smart and can make friends, there are many teenagers like them in the disaster-stricken areas, these teenagers were gathered by Shaoyang and formed a group, because they formed a group, few people dared to bully them anymore, so they fled all the way to come, stealing and robbing to eat. There was no need to flee so far, but in the month after the collapse of the Nanxia Dam, many towns in the surrounding provinces of Lunan were closed one after another, refusing to allow the victims to enter, for many reasons: for example, the place was too small to accommodate so many disaster victims, and for example, there was a high risk that these people would carry some diseases, which could easily cause large-scale plagues in healthy towns, and these problems were all major problems that the chief officials of the prefectures and cities could not bear.
As a result, the Lunan people, who were rejected by many towns outside the city gates, could only trek through mountains and rivers to Liangdu, because everyone thought that Liangdu was more prosperous, and prosperity meant that they could fill their stomachs, and Liang was the imperial capital, and it was impossible for the imperial capital to refuse them, unless the imperial court wanted to force them to rebel.
A group of teenagers wept intermittently, they had been battling hunger and disease for too long to survive entirely on animal instincts, and when asked today, they finally remembered the sadness in their hearts, the pain of the trauma could not be suppressed, and several children began to cry.
Su Miao frowned, remembering that the girl from Lunan had also said that she would sue the royal court, saying that in order to cover up the quality problem of the Nanxia Dam, the officials of Lunan suddenly released water from the dam and flooded the eight counties around Zicheng, causing a tragedy in which almost no one survived in the eight counties.
Even more terrible than natural disasters is the human heart.
"Is Lu Nan's political envoy still alive?" Su Miao asked about it, this kind of person was simply drowned in the flood.
Before he could answer, Shao Yang snorted coldly, suppressed his anger, and said bluntly:
"Flooded eight counties just to keep Zicheng, Zicheng is fine, of course he is still alive!"
Aftertaste glanced at him.
Shao Yang was afraid of him, so he closed his mouth and lowered his head, but his expression was still indignant.
The topic was too heavy, and after being silent for a while, Su Miao asked softly aftertaste:
"What about these people, you can't let them continue to rob others, right?"
"You, you want to send us to the office?" Shao Yang was a little nervous.
Su Miao glanced at him: "It is estimated that the prison will refuse, and you have to live and eat for nothing." ”
"Qiuhua." Aftertaste called lightly, turned his head, and whispered a few words to Qiuhua.
Qiu Hua responded with a serious expression, stepped forward, took an iron chain from his waist, and tied a group of teenagers into a string with his hand speed to take them away, the teenagers didn't know where to go, and one after another wailed:
"Where are you taking me? It shouldn't be to kill people! Everyone in Liangdu is so ruthless, no wonder my father said that the richer the person, the worse the heart, let me go! Let go! ”
The quiet boulevard was suddenly in chaos, at this moment, I don't know where there was a faint cry of a baby, at first Su Miao thought it was the sound of the wind, but after listening to it for a while, he found out that it was the cry of a baby, and suddenly he was terrified, and he grabbed the aftertaste, stared at him and asked:
"Did you hear it, it looks like a baby is crying?"
Aftertaste naturally heard it, and before he could speak, Shao Yang suddenly slapped his arm and shouted:
"Forget about Niko! Niko wakes up! Girl! ”
Su Miao was stunned.
Aftertaste glanced at Shao Yang, turned around, walked into the grass that was a man tall on the side, stopped after walking for a while, lifted the grass and raised the lantern, a tattered swaddling baby in the grass was actually wrapped in a monkey-like baby, who was crying like a mosquito with a wrinkled face, he stared at the child, frowned in disgust, and did not stretch out his hand.
Su Miao had to pick up the baby by herself, the swaddling baby was already rancid, the baby in the swaddling clothes was very thin because of hunger, and the cry was very weak, fortunately it was a child born at term, although the face was yellow and thin, it looked malnourished, but the foundation was strong, and there was no sign of illness, Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief and took the baby out of the grass.
Lin Yan, who had been standing honestly on the side, recognized at a glance that Su Miao was holding a baby swaddling baby in her hand, was shocked, took a step forward, and hurriedly went to check the baby in swaddling clothes:
"How can such a small baby be put in the grass on such a cold day, it will freeze!"
"Where did this kid come from?" Su Miao used unfamiliar skills to coax the baby not to cry, and asked Shao Yang, she actually wanted to ask which of them was the sister of this child, but Shao Yang replied quite sincerely.
"Picked it up."
The victims of Lunan can not enter the city, can only walk in the wilderness, but also to avoid the city soldiers, there are many old and weak women and children, Shaoyang they picked up the baby girl on the way to escape half a month ago, the uninhabited wilderness, the baby girl only has a dead mother by her side, according to Shao Yang said that the woman was in rags, at first glance it was a disaster victim, there were no external injuries on the body, probably either sick or starved to death. They heard the baby's cry to pick up the child, because the baby starved to death would have a disturbed conscience, so they took the baby with them, and it was really difficult for this group of children to even smuggle and rob and beg for help, but also thanks to the strong body and bones of the baby girl, the little baby did not die in the hands of a group of teenagers who only had brute strength, and actually survived tenaciously.
It wasn't until Su Miao promised that she would place the baby girl well Shao Yang was willing to leave with Qiuhua, Shao Yang is a child who understands current affairs, he understands that he can't resist in this situation, he simply doesn't resist, he understands that Xiao Ni is raised by him for half a month is already the limit, since he can't support him anymore, it is better to let Xiao Ni go to a new road that is likely to live well.
Su Miao admired this boy named Shao Yang a little. (To be continued.) )
