"Hahaha!"

The red-haired bandit burst out laughing and boldly threw the token back to him.

"This broken brand general should keep it by himself, although we are horse bandits, but we also talk about morality, for the sake of you making war exploits for my Great Zhou and beating the Xianbei old thief back to his hometown, this time we will not rob your family!"

"Brethren!" The red-haired horse bandit waved his hand, "Go!" I'll escort the general out of the valley! ”

As he spoke, the group turned the horse's head, and a group of people walked on the top of the mountain with a grin, and really put their posture out.

Lin Dalang: Lao Tzu believes in your evil!

But this time, the red-haired horse bandit was probably really evil, and he really followed the people of the Lin family all the way to the mouth of the valley, and then turned around and beat the horse and left.

Lin Dalang looked at the figure of the gang of horse bandits in the distance, first stunned, and then laughed proudly.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that he Lin Shijun would have such a respected day, this feeling, that's one word, cool!

"Ahem!" Qing Lan coughed heavily, and said angrily: "General, can't you leave?" ”

The word general was deliberately aggravated, and Lin Dalang listened to it, and his heart was happy.

Look, isn't that jealous.

cough cough cough, low-key and low-key, the eldest sister said, you have to be low-key.

Lin Dalang restrained his joy, quickly calmed down his emotions, took out his majesty, and shouted the order, "Go!" ”

The convoy quickly drove out of the valley and left the bandits' den safely, which was a false alarm.

The sky is getting late, the cold is getting worse, and entering October, the weather is getting colder day by day, Lin Dalang and others have taken out their cloaks to keep out the cold.

In the carriage, Lin Meiyi also lit the stove in the groove in the middle of the carriage, and put hot water into the water bladder while burning charcoal, so that Erya and the dog could warm their hands.

The car was boring, a small table was set up in the carriage, and the two siblings shrank in a corner and read a book.

Lin Meiyi lifted the curtain and looked at the situation outside, at a glance, it was all hillsides, and there were no houses at all, it seemed that she was going to sleep in the wild again tonight.

Hey?

Wait a minute! There seems to be a fire ahead.

At the same time that Lin Meiyi discovered the firelight, Lin Dalang, who was walking in the front, also noticed the light coming from afar, but he was familiar with this boundary and clearly knew that there was no village nearby? Not only do you not like it in your heart? His brow furrowed.

"Could it be a business trip?" Qing Lan guessed after that.

Lin Dalang nodded, "It should be." ”

An ironclad guard heard the two of them? But don't think so? He got up from his horse? Looking into the distance, I saw that the torches were regularly surrounded in a circle, and I immediately gasped.

"General, it's not a business trip! It's a homeless! ”

"What?"

Lin Dalang and Qinglan glanced at each other, the two have their own tacit understanding? Qinglan immediately rode up the hill.

A wide view here? There is only one light in the dimness, and it is easy to see the scene in the light.

I saw a magnificent carriage parked in the middle of the road, and eight knights in a protective posture? Standing around the carriage, six people dressed as servants, divided into two groups? Standing at both ends of the road, he kept persuading the group of people in front of him who were holding torches and pleading.

These people with torches, ragged, yellow and thin, supported in twos and threes, some of them held children in their arms, I don't know if they were so hungry that they lost their strength, and the cry of the child in their arms was weaker than that of a kitten.

A group of people, looking very pitiful, all knelt on the ground, humbly praying and pleading.

If ordinary people see such a scene, they will inevitably feel sympathy for them.

But if you look closely, these homeless people coincidentally trapped the carriage in the middle, and the carriage couldn't go if they wanted to.

This road is the only way to the main city of Taiyuan, if you want to go to Taiyuan, you must go from here, next to it is all high slope jungle, there are often fierce beasts in the forest, the night is the home of the fierce beasts, people want to come out of the jungle safe and sound, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Thinking of this, Qing Lan's face sank.

Glancing at the group of homeless people again, Qinglan drove the horse down the mountain, told Lin Dalang the news, and asked for his opinion.

"There is a hillside right ahead, if we set up camp here, we can't see it below, but if that group of displaced people is not going to Taiyuan, then we can't escape."

"Although they are hateful, they are also pitiful, if they have to do it, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it." Qinglan sighed.

Lin Dalang is naturally the same, he can be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves for the enemy, but he can't bear these weak people.

"Isn't the Taiyuan county guard already distributing grain? How can there be so many displaced people on the road? Lin Dalang asked puzzled.

Qing Lan knew more about government decrees than him, shook her head and sighed: "The drought is accompanied by the locust plague, Taiyuan Mansion is too busy to take care of itself, and there are more monks and less meat, so what can be done." ”

"Besides, the grain transportation road is difficult to walk, and the north is not as wide as the canal in the south, relying only on manpower, it is extremely difficult to manage the grain and salary in our army, for the sake of the overall situation, the imperial court naturally has some considerations, it is inevitable that Dawan will come again after the spring next year, and it is impossible to take out the grain in the north and distribute it to the displaced people."

Qinglan patted Da Lang's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "The imperial court has ordered to prepare to settle fields in the north, and the agricultural officials are about to be in place, when the time comes, we will be self-sufficient, and we will be able to save a lot of food for the suffering people in the world." ”

Lin Dalang heard this, but he was not so optimistic, Qinglan was different from him who was born with mud legs, and thought that farming was simply to plant grain.

But in reality, crops are extremely demanding on the environment and land, and the climate in the south is warm, with abundant rain and high grain harvests.

But the land in the north is barren and arid, but wherever there is a good harvest, it is close to the great river.

In the county where they were stationed, they had to dig a well very deep before they could produce water, and if they wanted to grow grain in such a place, the agricultural officer was afraid that his head would be bald.

But now is not the time to think about this, the current situation has to be decided by him as soon as possible.

After parking for a long time and there was no movement, Lin Youcai stood up from the wheel and asked suspiciously, "Da Lang, why don't you leave?" ”

Hearing her father's movements, Lin Meiyi couldn't help but get out of the carriage.

Lin Dalang rode over, saw his father and sister, and thought of one more person and multiple ways, so he informed the two of them about the situation ahead and asked for solutions.

Lin Youcai conservatively proposed, "It's better to rest here, and when the group of people disperses, let's take action." ”

He didn't think about the conflict, he had seen the power of the homeless, they had so many wagons and horses, and if the homeless saw it, it would be terrible.

At the end of the carriage, Qing Yun asked in confusion: "Why can't you divide some grain out and send them away?" ”

As soon as she heard this, she knew that she was a person who had never experienced the cruel reality, so Mrs. Mo hurriedly dragged her in and scolded her in a low voice:

"You forgot about the rebellion of the displaced people in Luxian County last year?!"

There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and it was thought that the little girl knew that she was talking nonsense.
