After the eldest Sun Chong and his party left, Cheng Chuliang and Qin Chuan hooked their shoulders and backs, one brother at a time, and it was very hot. However, he was quickly pushed away by Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan was really uncomfortable with being so hot with a big man.

Next, Cheng Chuliang wanted to invite Qin Chuan to drink.

However, just after seeing Fang Yiai's handstand shush, Qin Chuan really didn't have much appetite, so he directly declined.

Next, naturally, they went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.

……

After breakfast the next day, a strong man came to the door and led Qin Chuan to Shiyi.

Qin Chuan took the scholar Long Kunkun, hired a carriage, and under the leadership of Lux, went straight to the west of the city.

Out of the city, less than ten miles away, the carriage drove down the official road and turned in.

Then walk forward less than a mile away, and you will arrive at the food town of Qinchuan.

In fact, it is a medium-sized village of about 300 households.

When he saw this village, Qin Chuan's heart was half cold.

In this village, all the houses are straw houses, and the walls of the earthen courtyard are in tatters.

Some homes don't even have courtyard walls at all.

Qin Chuan saw two skinny dogs lying on their stomachs at the head of the village, some of them were weak, and they didn't bark when they saw people coming.

This village is poor, and the rats have to leave with tears in their eyes, this is their own food?

The village Lizheng, whose position is equivalent to that of the village chief of later generations, is an old man.

It should have been notified a long time ago, and it is looking forward to it at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Qin Chuan and them coming, the old man hurriedly stepped forward.

"Little old man Qin Shan, added to Qinjiazhuang, specially here to welcome the young master."

Well?

This Zhuangzi is actually called Qinjiazhuang?

This village makes Qin Chuan feel very close.

After sending people to the ground, the wrestler was not willing to stay in this broken village for a long time, so he left on the grounds that he was busy with official business and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.

After sending off the wrestlers, Qin Chuan called Qin Shan and asked, "Old man, you are the Li Zheng of this Qinjiazhuang, can you introduce the situation of this Qinjiazhuang!" ”

Qin Shan said in a panic: "Young master, the little old man can't afford to be an old man, and the little old man is only thirty out of fifty this year." ”

Qin Chuan glanced at Qin Shan's wrinkled face, and said in his heart, if you don't say it, I thought you were thirty out of seventy.

He looks really old.

"In the future, the young master will just call Xiao Lao'er Lao Qintou. Our Qinjia Village has more than 300 households and more than 2,000 people. ”

"The village has lived a hard life, at the end of the year, after paying the public grain, the remaining grain is not enough to eat."

"In our village, being able to meet a kind-hearted person like the young master is really a blessing from our ancestors who have done good deeds and accumulated virtues!"

Qin Chuan was speechless for a while.

Don't look at these people are honest, but they have their own cunning.

When I met myself, I first cried poor, and then praised myself for being kind.

Isn't this just engaging in moral kidnapping!

In fact, what the future generations played with was left over from the ancestors.

After Qin Chuan's careful inquiry, he learned that there was actually not a lot of land in the village.

An adult man over the age of 18 can be divided into 80 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field.

But there are no cattle in the village, so there is no land to cultivate.

In addition, there was a famine year last year, and after paying the taxes, there was not much food left, and it was not even enough for oneself to eat.

In short, he is telling Qin Chuan in disguise that there is really no excess food in the village now.

Qin Chuan dismissed Qin Shan and took the scholar Long Kunkun with him, ready to see the situation in the village with his own eyes.

After wandering around most of the village, Qin Chuan found that this Qinjia Village was really broken enough.

And, on the streets outside, there were hardly any people to be seen.

Even the children, I can't see a few.

Could it be that they knew they were coming, and they were hiding from themselves?

The scholar Long Kunkun seemed to see the unhappiness on his young master's face, and hurriedly said:

"Don't boil up, these mud legs, you only eat two meals a day. When they are not alive, they lie down in bed and sleep, so that they are inactive, and they are hungry more slowly. ”

Long Kunkun's words couldn't help but deeply touch Qin Chuan.

This is still the people of the Tang Dynasty outside Chang'an City, where is it in a more remote place?

Are they all living like this?

At this moment, they suddenly heard a quarrel from a family in front of them.

The first thing that came out was the frightened voice of a girl.

"yes, I don't dare! I don't dare anymore! Don't beat me, please don't beat me! ”

With the sound, a little girl of four or five years old, with short legs, ran out of the door quickly.

Behind him, a man's roar was heard:

"Eat! Know how to eat all day long! Why don't I choke you to death? I will be upset when I see you losing money all day long, and I won't kill you! ”

The little girl whimpered and cried, "yes, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry that I stole a bite of bread!" Don't beat me, I don't dare anymore! ”

At this moment, a man rushed out of the door.

Two steps over grabbed the little girl, pressed directly to the ground, took off her shoes, raised them high, and hit them hard.

Syllable!

Syllable! Syllable!

"I'll let you eat! Let you eat again! ”

"Why didn't I choke you?"

"You losers! What else do you do for besides eating? ”

"See if I don't kill you!"

The little girl was beaten and cried, and her calves kicked wildly.

After only three or four hits, he spat something with a wow, and there was a feeling that he couldn't get up.

And her ruthless yes, she kept beating herself.

Qin Chuan next to him was terrified.

For a time, anger began in the heart, and evil arose in the guts.

Sou!

Just when Qin Chuan was ruthless and was about to start beating someone, Long Kunkun, the scholar next to him, actually ran up one step ahead of him.

flew up with a kick and directly kicked the man to the ground, and it was a beating to cut his head and face.

Beat the man and begged for mercy.

At this moment, a woman ran out of the house when she heard the noise, lay on the man, and begged, "Don't beat me, don't beat me!" ”

Long Kunkun spat angrily and said, "Are you so like Ye Niang?" This child is not your own, or is it something? ”

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children! You're beating your baby to death! You are really, not as good as animals! ”

Hearing Long Kunkun's scolding, the woman cried bitterly: "That's the meat that fell from my body, why don't I hurt?" ”

But her brother was sick and had no money to see a doctor, so he had half a cake left, which was left for her brother to eat! I haven't eaten in two days, woo! ”

The little girl lying on the ground was already in a trance at this time, and said in a daze: "Don't beat me, I don't dare, I don't dare to steal food again!" ”

This scene made Long Kunkun's tears fall down, and he couldn't wipe them clean.

Qin Chuan, who was next to him, was also sour in his heart.

Qin Chuan sighed, shook his head, and was sad to leave.

At this moment, the woman suddenly knelt down at Qin Chuan, kept kowtowing and said, "Young Master, you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, you are a great good person!" ”

"Please, do well, take this girl away! We really can't feed her! Master, just take her away! ”

"Don't look at her small, she can do anything, just ask you to give her a bite to eat, just treat her as an animal!"
