Chapter 29: The Outcast

When you come, you will travel day and night, and when you go back, you will naturally lie in the carriage, who is idle and always rides to find guilt?

A van carriage and five plate carriages loaded forty-six people, and many dogs of the Xun team looked at Leng Feng and Li Chengqian huddled in the carriage with envy, how warm it was in the carriage!

On this departure, Leng Feng didn't bring any money, he hated the sound of copper coins and silver churning in his pocket, and he usually didn't bring them. When I came, I was busy on the road, and everyone ate dry food, and I was not in the mood to buy delicious food.

As a result, when he was going to buy a carriage on the way back, Li Chengqian took out two silver pieces from his sleeve...... Since the carriage was bought by Li Chengqian, Leng Feng unceremoniously followed Li Chengqian into the carriage.

It's hard to go out without money, there's nothing wrong with that! After the dry food was eaten, the owner of the dignified downstairs could only take the dignified Tang Prince and the forty-four people of the dignified and swift special combat team Xun to go up the mountain to walk the rabbits.

In the evening, forty-six people gathered around the campfire to eat ten rabbits, and they were very nervous.

It is said that if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts, but Leng Feng only "robbed" Luo Yi once, and it was his turn to be robbed two days later when it was dark.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live here, leave to buy road wealth!"

Standard robbery slogans!

In the middle of the road stood a thin man, but the wooden spear in his hand did not seem to be a threat to the Xun team members who had just finished killing people.

Li Chengqian felt that it would be a shame for the master to come forward, so he pushed open the curtain and said to the man: "You alone dare to rob more than 40 of us?" Are you stupid? ”

The man smiled and waved his hand, and soon a ragged man emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road. There are men and women, old and young, and there are hundreds of people at a glance.

Li Chengqian saw that these hundreds of people had surrounded him, and couldn't help but get back into the carriage: "Master, we are also surrounded......

Although his tone was frightened, Li Chengqian's expression did not show a trace of worry, the five hundred cavalry who were fully armed were all wiped out by sixty people, not to mention these people. The better ones still have an axe in their hands, but more often they have a stick.

"Four dogs, bring the leading man here, I have something to ask him."

The four dogs who were napping in the car heard the boss speak, and they were immediately full of energy. Jumping out of the car, the whole person rushed out like an arrow from the string!

The three-edged thorn didn't need to be pulled out at all, and the wooden stick that was sheathed at him was opened, and with fists and feet, the four dogs grabbed the man who was the leader, and rushed back with one hand.

The man was punched in the waist by the four dogs, and he lost his strength in pain, and was thrown to the side of the carriage by the four dogs like a dead dog.

Seeing that the people around him were still about to rush up, the four dogs pulled out a three-edged thorn and stabbed it on the ground against the man's neck: "If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill him!" ”

The people around him immediately stopped.

Li Chengqian diligently opened the door curtain for Leng Feng, and Leng Feng didn't get out of the car, just sat on the wheel and looked condescendingly at the man lying on the ground: "Look at your clothes, you are not Turkic, it should be Han, why do you gather people to rob?" ”

The man lay on the ground for a while, regained some strength, and then turned over and knelt on the ground: "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, the little one is named Lin Gensheng, he is a homeless person in this big mountain, as for gathering people to rob, there is really no food in the mountains in winter!" ”

Leng Feng asked suspiciously: "The imperial court ordered a few years ago that all displaced people who go out of the mountains will not only be subsidized for rations and household registration, but will also be exempted from taxes for three years. Why don't you go out of the mountains? ”

"Out of the mountains?" Lin Gensheng smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, of course we will go out of the mountains and be able to farm and eat grain, who will eat grass seeds and chew grass roots in the mountains?" But ......"

Lin Gensheng cried directly when he said this: "In Anmin County, not far away, there are a few displaced people who heard about the imperial court policy and went out of the mountain, but they were shackled by the county order and punished with hard labor, and they are not as good as pigs and dogs!" ”

After speaking, Lin Gensheng cried bitterly, and many of the displaced people around him also shed tears.

Li Chengqian's face turned red: "How can this be!" How can this be!! ”

Leng Feng pinched his chin and said to Li Chengqian: "Don't worry, we have to inquire about this matter." ”

Leng Feng said to Lin Gensheng: "Since you were forced to rob, then it can be considered extenuating, so let's do it, where do you live?" It was not early, we did not have a place to live, there was a wild boar caught during the day in the car, and I will invite you to eat meat when I return to you. ”

Hearing that there was meat to eat, Lin Gensheng's saliva flowed out: "It's not far from here, it's not far from here, I'll take you there." ”

……

Looking at the entrance of the cave covered by bundles of weeds and the few old men who were struggling to rub the dog's tail and grass seeds, Leng Feng couldn't help but frown.

Although I could think that these people were having a hard time, I didn't expect it to come to this point. The Qinling Mountains are rich in products, even if they can catch prey in winter, so the Qinling refugees will not at least eat grass seeds in winter. But here is surrounded by dirt mountains, and at most there are a few rabbits passing by, and a few rabbits are not enough for these hundreds of people to eat.

The cave was deep, and there was a pile of grass a few meters apart, and this was where they slept. The only iron pot had leaked, so these people simply smashed the iron pot into pieces, sharpened it and used wooden sticks to chop wood, so the cooking was a large stone trough.

A wild boar of more than 200 catties had no seasoning, just boiled in water, but was eaten by these people with relish.

Lin Gensheng even picked up the discarded pig offal, washed it with water under the ice of the creek, and roasted it with a few young men and ate it.

Eating the grass seed rice that pricked his mouth, Li Chengqian couldn't help but leave tears: "Master, these people, have they relied on this thing to survive from the last years of the Sui Dynasty to the present?" ”

Leng Feng rubbed Li Chengqian's head: "Chengqian, I hope you remember that you can't base your happiness on the suffering of the people. The only result of such a dynasty is to be overthrown! ”

That night, Li Chengqian lay on the thatched pile where the meat was cut and stayed awake all night......

Early the next morning, Leng Feng and the others touched some soil on their faces, rolled on the grass for a few times, and everyone was embarrassed before abandoning the car and going down the mountain. I plan to see how the local government will treat the displaced people.

The county seat of Anmin County is not far away, and near noon, Leng Feng and others arrived at the gate of the county seat.

"Wait, let's talk about you! What the hell! ”

A county magistrate guarding the gate quickly stopped them.

"We are homeless people in the mountains, and I heard that the imperial court has a policy of appeasing the homeless, no, we plan to go out of the mountains to farm. Sir, you can do well, tell us where to go for naturalization. ”

After the three dogs finished speaking, they also stuffed a copper coin into the catcher.

Catch Kuai glanced at the missing corner, which was obviously a copper coin from the Sui Dynasty, and his expression of disdain became thicker and thicker.

"Okay, follow me to the county office and see the county master."

The three dogs immediately nodded and hunched, and followed the catch into the county seat.
