"Bang Bang!" Old man Liu slapped a shack hard.

"Who?" A middle-aged man poked his head out of it and asked.

"Come out, give it all to me!" Liu Laohan may have been woken up in his sleep, and he was a little angry when he got up, and it was not good to sprinkle it on Kewang just now, and he was very angry at this time.

Kewang took a spear and followed behind with a smile, as long as he protected the old man and didn't let him suffer, he was on the side to watch the excitement, it was really boring to be alone at night.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man asked as he emerged from the shack.

"What's wrong? A rat stole our food, and I saw it come to you, and said, "Did you raise this rat?" "Liu Laohan's words are a little unreasonable, don't say whether the rats stole the food or not, who will raise the rats this year.

The middle-aged man choked on these words, and wanted to refute loudly, but when he saw the tall and big Kewang following behind with a weapon in his hand, he swallowed this breath.

"Uncle, what are you talking about, people can't eat enough, who will raise that thing."

"Hmph, I know you don't know how to raise rats," Old Man Liu probably knew that what he said just now was a bit excessive, and his tone softened a little, "But it must be hidden in your furniture, come on, let Old Man and I find it and shoot it to death." ”

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, "Uncle, who didn't carry a few mice with this escape, you..., can you manage it?" Besides, there are daughters inside, which is inconvenient. ”

"Get out of the way!" Liu Laohan suddenly became angry, "That grain is so expensive, you can't bear to let this little beast follow you every day?" I'm doing this for your good, understand? Got a female dependent? Let them get dressed and come out, old man, I have to shoot it to death today. ”

The middle-aged man was helpless, although this old man was a little domineering, but what he said just now made some sense, the family was still counting on this bit of food to boil to Jingshi, but there was no share of mice.

Besides, I really caught a mouse, it was an unexpected joy, so I guessed some meat, I didn't want to catch it before, but this thing was very fine, and I disappeared when I moved a little, and then I ran back unconsciously, and let this old man try it tonight, and he had nothing to say if he caught it or not.

At that moment, he patted the shack, "the boys, take the babies out." ”

At this time, Zhiwen was already alarmed, and came to Kewang's side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Kewang explained the cause and effect, and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is really fierce. ”

Zhiwen couldn't cry or laugh, although Liu Laohan was a little domineering tonight, he couldn't dismantle his own platform, besides, Zhiwen has always supported the matter of beating rats.

Someone in a few shacks next to him was also awakened, scolding, Zhiwen hurriedly explained, "It's okay, catch mice." ”

In the middle of winter, I fled again, and I actually slept in clothes, and soon, a woman with two children came out with a bag of grain, which was the most expensive thing in the family.

Liu Laohan lowered his head and got in, and the sound of "ping pong" soon came from inside.

"Uncle!" The middle-aged man frowned in distress, "You lighten up." ”

"Don't worry, you won't be spoiled." Old Man Liu's voice came from inside.

A small black shadow suddenly burst out, "Come out, come out." Kewang chased after him with a shout.

Liu Laohan also quickly got out of the shed and followed Kewang.

It didn't take much time for the two to come back dejected.

In this wilderness, it is not easy to catch a mouse in the daytime, let alone late at night.

"Uncle, are you alright? It's okay, we're going to go back to sleep. The middle-aged man said.

Liu Laohan shook his head and went back on his own.

"You're..., Dazhu, right?" Kewang was about to go back with him, but the woman who came out of the shack stopped him.

Kewang turned his head to look at her, "Are you...?" ”

"Oops, Dazhu, don't remember me? I'm your Aunt Zhao, and I've dug wild vegetables with your Aunt Song. ”

Ke Wang took a closer look at the faint light of the fire, and felt a little familiar, "Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry, I can't remember a little." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, come on, come on, sit down and roast the fire for a while, let's have a good chat, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, the master, add a piece of firewood."

Kewang looked at Zhiwen and saw that he nodded slightly, and the two sat down together, just as Zhiwen wanted to find out some news.

The fire grew up under the middle-aged man's care, and the woman sat down next to the man, "This little brother is also quite familiar, is it with you, Dazhu?" ”

"Yes, his name is Zhiwen." Kewang replied, speaking of which, Zhiwen was very low-key before, and there were really not many people who knew him.

The woman began to ask about their situation, including Xiaoying Niang and a few girls, but Zhiwen vaguely mixed them up and asked them about their condition.

It turned out that the family had been with Zhiwen and them for a long time, and had seen the battle between Kewang and Li Zhi's family, but they didn't know when they got separated, and they arrived in western Jinxi after the Yellow River froze, and then went all the way here.

"Your bag of grain was also received from the Jinxi Mansion, right?" Aunt Zhao pointed to the bag of grain that was pillowed under Liu Laohan's head not far away and asked, with a look that I had already seen through.

"Huh...? Be. Although he didn't know why, Zhiwen nodded.

"Hey, the official offices in western Shanxi are much better than those in northern Shaanxi, so we can send us some old grain." The middle-aged man sighed.

Zhiwen chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that after crossing the river, everywhere they went, the local government gentry set up porridge sheds, and the soldiers did not greet each other with smiles, but their attitudes were much better than they imagined.

However, there are always rumors among the refugees, let everyone go to Beijing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there will be better arrangements, and later more people set up points at the border of the state capital, as long as they go out of this place, they will give a certain amount of food, although they are all old food, but the attraction to refugees is still very large, and it is better to take it in your own hands than to go to the porridge shed to receive porridge.

In this way, many refugees were "gifted" all the way out of the western border of Jinxi and marched towards Beijing.

"Aunt Zhao, are there many officers and soldiers in the place you have visited?" Hearing this, Zhiwen suddenly asked.

The couple thought for a while, shook their heads and said, "We little people, we don't pay much attention to these, I don't know." ”

The behavior of the Jinxi government was very abnormal, as if it was afraid that the refugees would make trouble on their land, which was not surprising, but it was strange that they gave the refugees such courtesy.

When they first arrived in Puzhou, they found that the relief measures in Puzhou were much better than those in northern Shaanxi, but they did not mix with other refugees, and they did not know if there were any measures to distribute grain.

The only explanation that Zhiwen could think of was that the number of officers and soldiers in western Jin was probably seriously insufficient, so that the officials and gentry had no confidence, even if they had more money and food, they would send out these refugees who might break out at any time.
