Chapter 64: Opportunity
The sky was still dark, and it would be possible to barely see the road ahead without holding a torch. The two of them did not walk on the official road, and the country road was not so easy to walk, but fortunately, it was not winter, and there was no snow on the ground and it was easier to walk.
The two of them walked towards the dirt slope, and when they reached the top, they saw seven or eight people lying underneath the dirt slope. Chun Ting was taken aback, and thought that the few below were dead bodies, but after a closer look, he found that those people's chests were still undulating, and they should have just fallen asleep.
In today's world, even if there are a few dead people on the side of the road, it is not unusual, looking at the clothes of these people below, they are probably homeless, and they don't know whether to go south or north when they stop in this place.
Luo Yu pulled Chunting back, but fortunately, the little girl didn't cry out in shock, and the two retreated quietly, without alarming the sleeping people below. I don't know if these people are friends or foes, or it's better not to startle the snakes, what if these people have bad intentions? Chunting is just a weak woman, and although Luo Yu is now able to move around freely, the injury on her waist is only a scab, and they must suffer if they fight hard.
The chosen place to rest had been occupied, so the two had to give up the idea of resting for the time being, and continue to walk in the gradually brighter morning light.
The brighter the day, the more people on the road became, most of them ragged homeless people, with only the occasional convoy of people walking together. Chun Ting and Luo Yu were mixed among the homeless people, wearing coarse cloth clothes, but they were not eye-catching.
The people around him were bustling, including the mother who led the child, the man who was still steaming, and a few thin teenagers who could see the bones, looking at the people around him as if they were beasts looking at their prey.
Chun Ting tugged at the corners of Luo Yu's clothes, glanced at the teenagers with his eyes, and whispered: "Let's go over there a little, those children are afraid that they will cause trouble in a while." ”
Luo Yu followed Chunting's eyes, and then asked, "Although they look yellow and thin, they are just a few thin teenagers, what can they provoke?" ”
"You don't know." Chun Ting's eyes didn't squint, and he didn't look over there anymore, "People are forced to do everything, and you are the Yi Zi in the history books and eat is nonsense from your ancestors?" They have been hungry for a long time, there are so many people on the road, they can rob them and they will not lose if they can't rob them. The left and right are penniless, even if they are not beaten to death by others, they will be starved to death, so why not fight? ”
Luo Yuzhi heard such a statement for the first time, he was born in wealth since he was a child, he has not suffered a few things in the world, and the most difficult day is probably that Qing'an Hou invited the family law to come out and beat him and asked him to kneel in the ancestral hall.
The days of displacement and running around have just begun, Luo Yu has to recognize the reality first, these homeless people don't care if you are a little marquis or not, who cares what your identity used to be when you are stuck in the crowd? Everyone has two eyes and one nose, why should they let you?
Luo Yu and Chunting walked away from the teenagers without a trace, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible as they followed the flow of people.
Until the third pole of the sun, those teenagers didn't make any movements, just An An walked on the side of the road separately, if it wasn't for Chunting's special reminder, I was afraid that Luo Yu wouldn't have noticed these teenagers.
After walking for most of the day, Chunting felt a little tired, and Luo Yu was rarely sensitive for a while, and offered to take a break.
Most of the homeless people on the road stopped, Luo Yu found a shade tree, took out the felt cloth in the bag and spread it on the ground, the two sat down side by side, no one mentioned to take out the dry food in the bag, just took a few sips of water bladder.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Although a few pieces of dry food are not a precious thing, they are now more precious than gold in the eyes of these homeless people.
Chun Ting looked up at the dense branches and leaves on the book, "If it was two months earlier, there would still be elm trees on this elm tree to satisfy hunger, and now there are only leaves left...... "She can't take the little marquis to gnaw the bark, right?"
It's cool under the trees, it's better than others being exposed to the sun. The wind blew comfortably in the afternoon, and Chunting leaned on the trunk of the tree and fell asleep, thinking that maybe he could bear the hunger when he was asleep, and he could hold on for a while if he was too hungry, so he could wait until the middle of the night when no one was paying attention and then secretly took out a nest to gnaw.
When he had squinted less than half a pillar of incense, he heard a commotion not far away. When Chun Ting opened his eyes, there were several people scuffling together only a dozen steps away from them, and several of them were the teenagers from Fang Cai.
Chun Ting and Luo Yu glanced at each other and saw it in each other's eyes. Luo Yu clenched the package on his body, and moved behind the tree with Chunting, the trunk was still quite thick, barely able to block the figure of the two people.
Two heads poked out from behind the trunk, one left and one right, and there was no one next to the place where the fight started, and the people around had no intention of interfering. Also, who wants to reach out and want to help when they can't protect themselves.
The teenagers were almost crazy to tear the burden of the people under them, and once they turned out what they could eat, they stuffed it into their mouths, and the inside of their mouths was stuffed slowly, but the movements of their hands did not converge at all.
It was a young couple who were oppressed by them, Chun Ting was shocked, she and Luo Yu were now traveling as husband and wife, if she hadn't noticed these teenagers, they were so close to them, I was afraid that it would be her and Luo Yu who would suffer now.
Luo Yu was also afraid for a while, the man who was surrounded by several teenagers had already suffered several injuries on his body in order to protect his wife, and even hit his head several times, and there was red blood left along his cheeks. The woman he held in his arms screamed, "Leave us alone!" Leave us alone! I'll give you all the dry food! It's all for you! ”
The woman's sharp voice seemed to be able to draw a dark light on this sunny day, and Chunting couldn't help but cover her ears and shrank behind the tree, no longer bearing to look at the scene over there.
It's still daytime, Chunting thought that those teenagers would have to wait until the dead of night to make a move, who knew that they would be so blatantly murderous in broad daylight, and the way of the world today has really changed.
Luo Yu looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and suddenly felt that something was stuffed in his hand, and when he looked down, it was a small dagger. The dagger wasn't big, just enough to fit into the sleeve. Luo Yu chuckled, "You still have this?" ”
"Madame called us after we didn't keep up with the convoy last time." Chunting didn't dare to speak loudly, and the words that came out were almost angry, and they were easily overshadowed by the woman's screams. Luo Yu looked at her mouth shape and barely understood it, and said in his heart that his cousin-in-law was really interesting.
Someone is about to be beaten to death in front of him, but he can still have the heart to think about these things, isn't it as stupid as this girl who has been infected by her for a long time......
It was indeed about to be beaten to death, and the man had gradually lost his voice, and the woman's screams were getting weaker and weaker, until the men on the ground were half alive and dead, and the boys withdrew their hands.
Luo Yu's palms holding the dagger were full of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the next movements of those teenagers, afraid that they would not be satisfied and would continue to snatch others.
The closest people to those teenagers are except for a few men, that is, he and Chunting, if those teenagers still want to act, I am afraid that they will come at them, but Luo Yu is not very sure that he can lead Chunting to retreat.
Several teenagers straightened up, their faces still stained with the blood splattered from the couple's body, and the glow of the blood beads reflected in the sunlight was terrifying.
The leading boy wiped his face casually, staggered away, and walked to a place where there was no blood, and several youth groups fell asleep together.
Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, sat back under the tree, and saw the spring garden that was still trembling. It was obviously a hot summer, but the spring court trembled as if there was no thick jacket in the cold winter. It's not that Chunting hasn't seen dead people, but it's the first time she's seen people beaten to death in front of her eyes.
The scene was very bloody for a while, and Chunting was shocked to see it, which made the little girl's heart suffer a great blow.
But they all know that this is just the beginning, and they will only encounter more such things in the future, and they can only watch from the sidelines, and they are not even qualified to help.
Because here they are, too, the weak.
When the sun was not so dry, the resting homeless people all left one after another, but Luo Yu did not mention the intention of leaving.
Chunting had already recovered from this, and when he saw that there were fewer and fewer people around, he asked, "Aren't we leaving?" ”
"Wait." Luo Yu said in a deep voice.
Chunting was a little curious, but she was used to it, and she didn't ask more about what the master didn't want to say, so she honestly shrank behind the tree and didn't say anything.
The people around were almost gone, and only the two corpses lying across the road showed what had happened. Luo Yu got up and walked towards the middle of the road, and just as Chunting was about to follow, he saw Luo Yu stop next to the corpse, and his feet just stepped out of the air froze in mid-air.
"What are you doing here...... "Chunting asked weakly.
Luo Yu ignored Chun Ting's question, and reached out to take out something from the blood-soaked package. Chun Ting walked over boldly, and finally saw clearly what Luo Yu found out.
It's family register!
Chun Ting's eyes lit up, ignoring the two corpses at his feet, and said excitedly: "How do you know that there will be a household registration?" ”
Luo Yu put away the household registration in his hand, "because they are not homeless." "The two of them were neatly dressed, although they were coarse linen clothes, but they were very clean, neatly dressed, although they mixed with the homeless, but everywhere they kept their distance from the homeless, and the burden was also heavy, they should be a couple who were going to the city to join their relatives, and they had to go out of the city, who expected to suffer this great disaster.
But the household registration on their bodies has done Luo Yu and Chunting a great favor, and with the household registration, it means that they can walk from the inner city in a bright and bright way, and go to Huaiyang safely!
