Chapter 1651: The Promise of Peace
Only then did everyone realize that a team of horses passed by here, and there were a few young girls at the head, and a large group of murderous guards behind them, one of which was a big black man who looked extremely tall.
The little old man looked at the clothes and horses of this group, knowing the dignity of the other party, and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, the avenue in front is the official road, and if you continue to go north, you can reach Liuzhou City!" ”
He had been hungry for two days, so that he was already hungry, his voice was hoarse, and the hand he raised was hurriedly put down, but his demeanor remained respectful.
In this era, especially when there is still a drought, the lives of their gang are like mustard in the eyes of the big people. If they offend this big man, their little lives may be lost here.
At this moment, a girl in military uniform, about twelve or thirteen years old, rode forward on a tall red date horse. She has fair skin, a goose egg face, a pair of big eyes that are bright, and her waist is erect, and the whole person looks majestic.
Her eyes were clear and bright, giving people a sense of dependence, and when her gaze slowly scanned the crowd, they were dwarfed and daunted.
They vaguely guessed that this eldest lady was the leader of this team, but they didn't know which toast or official daughter it was, and her identity must be wonderful.
The girl saw several women with children in the crowd, both of whom looked malnourished, but asked in a serious voice, "Which of you is the leader?" ”
Hearing this incomparably pleasant voice, the eyes of the victims fell on the little old man.
The little old man didn't dare to offend this eldest lady, swallowed and spitted and raised his hand inexplicably: "We are all villagers who fled from Huangshuizhai, and I am the patriarch of Huangshuizhai!" ”
"I'll give you some food now, and you'll have to divide it equally among the others, including the women and children, can you do that?" The girl sat on the tall red date horse, looked at the little old man with a straight face and asked.
Only then did the little old man understand that she was going to help her own group, and immediately hurriedly beckoned everyone to kneel and bow together, and said: "The little old man will uphold fairness, and will never deduct the share of women and children, thank you for your help!" ”
In fact, the reason why they have not starved to death is because he insisted on giving a share to the women and children.
After receiving a positive answer, and the little old man's expression did not look like a fake, the girl turned her head to look at the big black man behind her.
The big black man turned over and dismounted, and took out a bag of grain from behind, which seemed to be small, but it looked very heavy, and threw it directly in front of the little old man.
The little old man opened the cloth bag and found that there was a lot of jerky in it, and he grabbed a large handful of small particles that looked very attractive, looked up at the girl on the horse uncertainly, and said, "This is?" ”
"These things are called scallops, you can eat them directly, or you can use water to make soup, they all taste very good, and this thing is very filling to your stomach!" A fat girl eating candied fruit next to her answered.
Scallop is the general name of shellfish adhelceptor dried products, is the source of the power of the scallop shell opening and closing, pry open a scallop only the size of a fingertip, dried can be stored for a long time, the nutritional value is very high.
The little old man knew that this scallop was something that only rich families could afford, so he immediately led a group of people to thank him, and finally asked curiously: "Dare to ask Engonggao's surname?" Now that there is a famine everywhere, what is Engong doing in Liuzhou City? ”
"My name is Lin Pingping! This time I went to Liuzhou to help with disaster relief, you hurry to Liuzhou City, I will help you get through this difficulty! After the girl left a word, she patted the red horse and walked away.
This girl is naturally Lin Pingping, the governor of Nanyang who is the branch of the Son of Heaven, and she has been in Guangdong since she returned from Nanyang, and she has been staying in Leizhou and Changlin Village these days.
After learning about the famine in Guangxi, she decided to go to Liuzhou to help with disaster relief, so that the drought could kill fewer people and do more good deeds for the United Business Group.
The little rabbit, the little pig and the little fox also looked like girls, the little fox was full of wild pat the horse and followed Lin Pingping, the little rabbit obediently urged the horse to follow his own young lady, and the little pig stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth before following forward.
Ah Li, Shen Yan and Mu Ying followed behind, each with a sparkle in their eyes, and they followed Lin Ping to Liuzhou for disaster relief without hesitation.
They were followed by more than twenty guards, armed with knives and guns, each with the momentum of one block and ten, responsible for dealing with the bandits who did not open their eyes along the way.
The little old man saw the team leave, and divided the bag of food evenly. After receiving food, the women, including the children, slowly regained some strength.
The little old man chewed a scallop and waved his hand decisively: "Let's go, let's go to Liuzhou City!" ”
"Dad, didn't you say that there is no food in Liuzhou City?" The young man, who had just eaten voles raw, sat on the grass, but asked with a puzzled face.
Everyone also looked at the little old man in confusion, and the little old man glared at his son with his eyes and said, "Didn't you hear? The gentleman just now is called Lin Pingping! ”
"Who is Lin Ping?" The young man made a thoughtful gesture and then asked in confusion.
The faces of everyone were also puzzled, and they all looked at the little old man in confusion. The little old man glared at his son angrily, and then solemnly spit out two words to everyone: "Tiger girl! ”
When they heard this name, everyone suddenly showed a relieved expression, and the young man immediately asked: "Lin Leigong's sister, the tiger girl who is the biggest bully in Wuzhou, Shi Leopard?" ”
The little old man had already taken a firm step, and replied without looking back: "Who else could it be if it wasn't her?" Let's rush to Liuzhou City now, maybe all of us won't have to starve to death! ”
Knowing that Hu Niu went to Liuzhou City to help with disaster relief, this little old man had a new hope for Liuzhou City, and decided not to go to Leizhou in the way of a strong man with a broken arm, but to go towards Liuzhou City.
If it weren't for the corruption of local officials, and he had seen the true face of too many corrupt officials, how could he be willing to go far?
Now that the tiger girl has arrived in Liuzhou City, this makes him feel a little confident. Although there is a certain risk in this move, he believes that the brother and sister, and the eldest lady Lin who has eliminated the bullies, will not watch them starve to death.
That's why he decided to let it go. He pinned the lives of the entire Huangshuizhai villagers on this Miss Lin, hoping that she could lend a helping hand in Liuzhou so that they could safely survive this once-in-a-decade drought.
