Chapter Ninety-Five: Encountering the Wanderer
This bazaar is 2 miles long, which is considered a large market town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen Jiang Hexing and his party came to the cross street, it was just past noon, just past dinner, and there were not many people on the street.
The carriage of the river line is really eye-catching, and many people on the road stop to watch. Zhang Meng saw that there were too many people, and asked Jiang Hexing: "He Wang, we have been eating dry food for two days in a row, see if you can find a wine shop to eat in the market town." ”
Jiang Hexing hasn't eaten much in the wine shop, and since everyone is tired of eating dry food, and just happened to come to the market again, let's follow everyone's wishes.
The carriage went a short way forward, and on the east side of the road was a yellow wine curtain with black wine written on it.
Li Bin was more familiar with these things, so he got out of the car and went to the restaurant to inquire. After a while, Li Bin came back and told Jiang Hexing that the wine shop was about to close, but he was still willing to entertain Jiang Hexing and others. Li Bin led everyone to the front of the wine shop, there was a gate next to the wine shop, there was just a courtyard inside, and everyone got out of the car and pulled the carriage into the courtyard.
The guy at the liquor store led the horse away and pulled him to the side of the manger to drink.
The shopkeeper of the wine shop looked at Jiang Hexing and others with extraordinary personalities and different accents, especially the carriage, which had never been seen, although he didn't ask much, he also knew that the person who came was either rich or expensive. He didn't dare to slack off at all, and invited Jiang Hexing and others to come to the second floor of the wine store, personally take care of each wine table, and send all kinds of meat.
The rice is wheat rice, that is, the rice cooked with wheat, Jiang Hexing is a little unbearable, watching everyone eat it, Jiang Hexing also sends wheat rice to his mouth little by little, while eating barbecue.
Everyone was eating, there was a commotion on the road, Zhang Meng, who was kneeling at the window, stood up and looked at the road, this young man from the wine shop was standing at the door, arguing with a few people on the road.
Those passers-by were in tattered clothes, and their clothes barely covered their bodies, and they were dirty and torn, and they looked like beggars.
The noise outside is getting louder and louder, and the people who eat inside are not restless. Zhang Meng saw that the young man and those passers-by were pulling each other together, and he saw that he was about to fight.
Jiang Hexing waved his hand and asked Zhang Meng and Li Bin to go down and see what was going on.
After a while, Li Bin and Zhang Meng returned upstairs. Li Bin introduced that this is a group of homeless people who don't know where they come from, saying that they send firewood to this wine shop every day, and the wine shop will give them the remaining meals every day.
Today, it was already past the meal, but as soon as Jiang Hexing and the others came, the wine shop was busy entertaining Jiang Hexing and the others, and they had not given them the leftovers. So they got into trouble with the people in the liquor store.
When Jiang Hexing heard about the displaced people, his heart was excited, and he hurriedly asked if it was the displaced people who came from the flooding of the Yellow River?
Li Bin blushed and said, "Hewang, I'm ashamed, we were afraid of delaying your meal just now, so we didn't think about it." When we went down just now, the shopkeeper was afraid that we would be angry, and he explained it to us. In addition, when we went down, the guy at the liquor store had already taken some wheat rice and was delivering it outside. I don't think it's the rest, it's all fresh. Probably the shopkeeper of this wine shop wants to buy peace as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Hexing didn't blame the two, he ordered, hurry up and eat, and then buy more food in the wine shop, and wait for the whole team to set off to see what those homeless people are like.
After a while, they had lunch, fed the horses, re-set the cart, and bought a clean one of the food in the wine shop. The shopkeeper of the wine shop came to deliver it attentively, and Li Bin asked him: "The shopkeeper, where do the people who quarreled just now live?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Li Bin and said: "This gentleman, I see that you are also from a rich family, and you are naturally benevolent, but you are a little dirty." If you want to help these people, why don't you send my men there, how can you go somewhere? ”
Li Bin smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, thank you for your kindness, just tell me where you are." ”
The shopkeeper saw that Li Bin was resolute, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he said with a smile on his face: "They are 2 miles north of the market town, so they can follow this road all the way to the north." There's a high post there, and those people are on the high post. ”
The carriage went all the way north out of the market town, and the road was lined with tall woods, and in the woods there were people cutting down trees, and their clothes were ragged, and they looked like refugees and the like.
The carriage slowed down, and went forward for another 2 miles, and a high hill came into view, and there were various straw huts scattered on the high hill. There are also some trees on the high hills, but they are much sparser.
There are several newly raised graves on the north side of Gaogang Land, and a bunch of homeless people gather in the south next to the graves. Some with their hands, some with wooden shovels, as if they were digging a hole.
Jiang Hexing was taken aback when he looked to the east, and a group of people formed a circle, and there seemed to be a person lying in the middle of the circle.
The carriage stopped, Jiang Hexing and the others got out of the car and walked towards the crowd together.
Li Bin and Zhang Meng walked in front, Zhou Ren followed closely behind, followed by Jiang Hexing and others.
The group of people who were digging the pit stopped, saw Li Bin and the others walking towards them, and did not dare to speak, looking at Li Bin and the others blankly.
Li Bin ignored them and walked straight towards the group of people in the east, who turned their heads to look at Li Bin and the others at the same time.
A short man walked out, came to Li Bin and said, "This gentleman, what do you mean by this?" We're taking care of the aftermath, and we don't get in the way of you, right? ”
Li Bin looked at this short man, his hair was unkempt, and there were a few noisy sticks on his head, and the clothes on his body had a hole on the left and a hole on the right, and the linen clothes seemed to be draped in strips of cloth on him.
Li Bin said: "I'm just here to see, do you need any help?" ”
Li Bin's attitude was very sincere and without malice.
The man sighed and said, "Well, this gentleman, we have been here, you see," and as he pointed to the newly erected graves, he continued: "It has only been a few days, and so many people are gone. Hey, we're not in a good place. ”
The two of them were talking, and Zhou Ren was already squeezing into the crowd, and others were looking at Jiang Hexing and the others and this strange carriage.
He crouched down and sniffed the man lying down, feeling his pulse.
Suddenly, Zhou Ren shouted loudly: "Mr. Li, this person is still saved, he just fainted, he didn't die, he didn't die." ”
Zhou Ren shouted loudly, Li Bin didn't talk to this short man, he and Zhang Meng separated from everyone and came to the person who was lying down. Jiang Hexing and others also immediately followed.
Li Bin was also the same as Zhou Ren, probing the man's snort, feeling his pulse, and looking at Zhou Ren with relief.
He turned his head and said to the river: "We will use our dry food, that is, beef jerky, to make soup, feed this man, and he should be able to live." ”
Jiang Hexing nodded, and the soldiers beside him immediately returned to the car, unloaded their usual rice pots, drove on the ground, fetched firewood and grass, and someone brought water from the small river in the east and began to cook broth for the patient.
The short man came to Li Bin, knelt down for Li Bin, and kowtowed. Then he stood up and said, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness. You don't know, we really can't help it, we are because of the Yellow River, and our homes have been flooded. Came here, barely escaped with a life. When they came here, they had to dig wild vegetables for a living, and some young men collected firewood and sold it in the market town in the south in exchange for some food. ”
Li Bin said: "What do you call it?" Where did it come from? Also, do you have a lot of people like this? As he spoke, he pointed to the man lying on the ground. (To be continued.) )
