Chapter 30: The Victims

Anyway, there shouldn't be any mess with Mrs. Lu, and in the days that followed, Lu Yun simply closed the door and concentrated on studying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cui Ning'er was interested in him, but she went to the stern of the boat several times to breathe, but she didn't see Lu Yun. Although the atmosphere is open at this time, the girl's family will naturally not take the initiative to chat with a man......

In this way, after a few days of peace, the passenger boat left the Huai River and entered the Tongji Canal, and the river suddenly became much narrower, and the speed of the boat slowed down. When I arrived in the Bianzhou area, I couldn't move forward directly.

Feeling that the ship had not moved for a long time, Lu Yun walked out of the room and went to the bow to check the situation, only to see that the ships in front of him were connected end to end, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, and he actually blocked the ship......

"Why is that?" Lu Yun frowned and asked the boatman on the side.

The boatman explained helplessly: "Hui Gongzi, it is said that the Yellow River broke and the channel to Luodu was broken. Saying that, he shook his head incredulously and said: "The Yellow River embankment, which was newly built last year, cost the imperial court how much silver?" Why did it break this year? ”

Lu Yun looked back at the rear, also with no end in sight, and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"There must be no way to move on," the boatman sighed, "We can only wait for the ships behind us to retreat, and we will return to Songzhou." There is a carriage and horse shop of my business, and I will send my son and his party back to Beijing by land. ”

Lu Yun nodded, and that was the only way.

A day later, the ships behind finally began to retreat, and it took another day for the passenger ship to return to Songzhou. In Songzhou, Lu Yun and his entourage changed to the carriage of the merchant and continued along the official road.

Because there were too many guests to transfer, and the Lu family and the Cui family had a lot of luggage, the carriage they got was very limited, and Lu Yun could only help the four female guests first, and he made do with it on the carriage that transported the goods.

However, the service of the merchant is still in place, in order to ensure their safety all the way, the merchant chariot and horse shop specially sent twenty guards to accompany them all the way. Of course, this is also because they are scholars, and if they are Shu clans, I am afraid that merchants will not be so concerned......

The carriage was very bumpy, much more uncomfortable than taking a boat, but Lu Yun was not affected. Sitting in the rickety carriage, you can still concentrate on reading. It wasn't until he passed Bianzhou that he was shocked by the situation on the side of the road that he had no intention of reading his sage book!

I saw that on the official road, there were fleeing people who were helping the old and the young, and staggering forward. Each of them was ragged and thin, and from time to time you could see the corpses lying dead on the side of the road......

What is even more disturbing is that there may be overturned carriages on the side of the road, and the belongings have been looted, and the people on the carriage are nowhere to be found......

The further the convoy went, the more people were affected along the way. Seeing a noble person passing by, I don't know which one led the way, and the victims surrounded them. They stretched out their thin and dirty hands and begged pitifully, "All right, we haven't eaten for days......

"Childe, my doll is going to starve to death, give it to the stutter......"

"Get out of the way!" The merchant's guard hurriedly blocked the begging crowd, waved his sheathed blade and drove away: "You're welcome to come forward again!" ”

"Stop!" Lu Yun saw far away from the carriage, and saw that there were so many victims in front of him that it made people's scalps tingle. He frowned and muttered for a moment, then ordered, "Give them some of our dry rations, and take some silver taels." ”

"Childe, don't be naΓ―ve!" The head of the merchant's guard hurriedly stopped: "I've seen a lot of this situation! These people can only come by force, and they will naturally retreat if they can't get something. If we are soft-hearted, we will not think about leaving! ”

"You're the way to die!" Lu Yun glanced at the leader of the guards coldly, without the slightest intention of changing his course.

Lu Yun's guards naturally obeyed his orders and hurriedly took out money and food to distribute to the victims, but the guards of the merchants stood by and watched, looking like they wanted to watch a good show.

The victims who received alms naturally retreated with great gratitude. But it didn't take long for ten times as many refugees to hear the news, and the tide rushed to the two convoys. And in the distance, there are more people rushing this way......

"I'll just say it......" the leader of the merchant's guard sighed helplessly. Lu Yun's guards also looked at their son-in-law worriedly, they couldn't give money to so many refugees, and it was inevitable that there would be chaos after a long time. If you harass a woman, or if you get robbed of your belongings, that's bad.

At this time, the people in the carriage were also alarmed, Lu Ying and Cui Ning'er looked out through the curtain of the carriage, and they were also startled by the black pressure of the victims.

"How did you recruit so many people, it's a big trouble now." Lu Ying couldn't help but worry.

"He's a bad guy." Cui Ning'er's eyes became extremely sharp, and she swept across the crowd like a knife and said, "However, these people are not the only ones he brought over. ”

"My brother is a good person, but not rotten." Lu Ying protested with some dissatisfaction: "You are not allowed to talk about him like that!" After speaking, he asked: "It's not just him who led it, what does it mean?" ”

"Look at that group of people......" Cui Ning'er pointed to Lu Ying through the curtain of the car, "Other people's eyes are on your brother, but their eyes are wandering back and forth on our carriage. ”

"What are they going to do?!" Lu Ying was surprised.

"Incite the victims of the disaster and take advantage of the fire to rob!" Cui Ning'er said lightly: "They may have been eyeing us for a long time." Without their instigation, so many victims would not have gathered. ”

Cui Ning'er thought that after listening to her words, Lu Ying would be frightened. Who knew that Lu Ying calmed down instead, smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, my brother can handle it." ”

"My sister has so much confidence in him?" Cui Ning'er didn't believe it: "It's obviously a nerd who doesn't know the world." ”

Lu Ying smiled but said nothing.

。

Outside the carriage, watching the victims gather more and more, the leader of the merchant guard named Huang Ling could no longer stand idly by, and said to Lu Yun with his fists: "Childe, let us deal with it!" As he spoke, he shouted to his opponents: "Get out of the way!" Who dares to block, there is no eye under the knife! ”

"Yes!" The merchants' guards drew their swords and were about to drive away the victims. But they really don't know the bottom of their hearts, in case they provoke public anger, and this person still doesn't let people step on meat sauce?

Just as they were biting their heads and preparing to step forward to open the way, they heard the handsome boy who didn't know anything about the world and shouted, "Come back to me!" ”

"Childe! Don't make trouble......" Huang Ling was also at a loss, and when he heard that Lu Yun was still making trouble, he couldn't help but glared at him in annoyance.

But when Huang Ling met Lu Yun's gaze, the whole person froze. I saw that those handsome eyes were irresistibly majestic! Huang Lingden was born when he was facing the general fear of the business owner. actually swallowed back the second half of the words......

"If you want to pass today, listen to me honestly!" Lu Yun coldly dropped a sentence, crossed Huang Ling, and walked towards the victims.

"......" couldn't see Lu Yun's gaze, Huang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart, how could he let a hairy child be calm? He simply stood by and watched, but wanted to see how this arrogant stinky boy cleaned up this mess?

Cui Ning'er in the carriage also looked at Lu Yun through the curtain, wanting to see how he planned to deal with it......

I saw him calmly walking to the crowd of victims and waving at them. Seeing that he was about to speak, the victims gradually quieted down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I also empathize with what happened to you, and I want to lend a helping hand as much as we can." Lu Yun's handsome face was extremely sincere: "But we got off the boat halfway and temporarily changed to a carriage, and the money and food we brought were very limited, so we have done our best, and now we have nothing to share with you......"

His voice was not loud, but it was clear to all. The victims were dejected, and many turned to leave.

"Is this all right?" Huang Ling looked at Lu Yun in surprise, and was about to calm the crowd in a few words, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim, this child of the family is a fairy fart - extraordinary.

Cui Ning'er in the carriage pouted, as if she didn't believe that things could pass like this......

Sure enough, I heard someone shouting: "Don't go, everyone, the prince has money, and he will definitely help us!" ”

Many of the victims refused to disperse, and when they heard the words, they begged for help: "Son, okay, you can't die without saving ......" "Yes, Childe, we can only rely on you......" "If you don't want to help, we can only leave ......"

While talking, many people knelt in front of him, with a posture that you don't want to leave if you don't help.

On the carriage, Lu Ying frowned unhappily when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Those disaster victims can't hear it, is someone inciting them?" ”

"The best people in this world are the hungry and cold people, and the lustful magnates." Cui Ning'er brought a chuckle at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't seem to be worried about the current predicament. The words he said were very scary: "Believe it or not, it's about to be robbed......"

"Wouldn't it?!" Lu Yinghua said with a pale: "We helped them......"

"The human heart is like this, sinister and ugly." Cui Ning'er sighed faintly: "Now it seems that we must have been targeted for a long time." ”

。

Outside the carriage, Huang Ling saw that someone had passed the victims in front of him and was getting closer and closer to the convoy, and he couldn't help but curse: "It's too naΓ―ve!" "Hurriedly ordered his men to protect the carriage. He himself stepped forward to pull Lu Yun back.

"But." At this time, Lu Yun spoke again, he deliberately paused, and everyone's movements couldn't help but stagnate, wanting to hear him but what?

"However, not far ahead is Yongqiu County, where there must be grain." I heard Lu Yun say sincerely: "You might as well be patient and follow us to Yongqiu." When you get there, you will be able to get food for your stomach. ”

"This?" The victims looked at each other, Yongqiu was not far away, and it didn't hurt to walk with him.

"Childe won't lie to us, will he?" The robbers, who were among the victims, feared that once they entered the city, they would not be able to do anything.

"Ridiculous!" Before Lu Yun could speak, more victims had already reprimanded: "The son is kind-hearted and helps each other, but you are still suspicious and suspicious, and you are still raised by people?" "After all, there are still a few wolf-hearted people, and as long as there is a little hope, the people are still good.

The robbers, disguised as disaster victims, wanted to incite everyone to go together. When you see the anger of the public, where do you dare to mess around? I could only say indignantly: "These scholars and masters, how can they care about our life and death, he is just a delaying tactic......"

"Shut up!" More voices rang out, muffling the noise. "We believe in Childe, he won't lie to us!"

"Okay, that's what you said, let's see!" Those guys had to take a break for a while.

So, the team continued to move forward, and the victims followed Lu Yun's convoy and marched towards Yongqiu City.
