Chapter 457: Refugees

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Du Rongzhi immediately ordered someone to load the luggage into the carriage and prepare to go home.

Before leaving, Mama An couldn't help but persuade her, "Didn't the young lady promise to wait for the master to pick you up yesterday?" And now that there are so many victims in the city, the entry and exit are not very peaceful......"

"Mama doesn't need to be persuaded." Du Rongzhi casually handed the box containing valuables to Yuan Yuan to collect, "I have to go back today no matter what......" She paused and said, "I have something very important to tell the eldest young master." ”

…………………………

Because I was in a hurry to go back, the time it took to return home was half that of when I first went out.

Wan'er was called up early in the morning, and as soon as she was full, she was stuffed into the carriage by her mother, and she was so drowsy that she was so drowsy with bumps along the way that even saliva flowed. When the carriage stopped, Mama Gu came over to hug her, and the little guy opened his eyes in a daze, "...... Mother, are we home? ”

"Well, here we go." Du Rongzhi took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the corners of her mouth, and was about to hand it over to Mama Gu.

Wan'er rubbed her eyes, "Isn't my mother going home?" ”

Du Rongzhi smiled softly, "Mother still wants to find your father...... If you are sleepy, go back and sleep for a while. ”

Guan'er nodded obediently, "Then the mother and father will come back early." ”

Du Rongzhi looked at her daughter's soft and glutinous little face, and her eyes turned red inexplicably......

She took a deep breath and nodded with a smile, "Well, my mother will be back with Wan'er soon...... Go ahead. ”

…………………………

The carriage went all the way.

Du Rongzhi is still in a mess in her heart.

She couldn't figure out why the levee, which was supposed to break in two years, would burst this year, and she didn't know if the plague that had changed her previous life would come sooner......

She searched her mind repeatedly about the plague in her previous life, but she still had no clue, so she had to lift the curtain and check the scene outside.

The street was still familiar, but it was very different from when she left.

The bustling street market, which used to be full of merchants, is now a bleak and bleak place.

The road was full of ragged and skinny refugees, and occasionally encountered pedestrians passing by, all of whom rushed up, "Uncle, please do well, enjoy the stuttering......" "Uncle, have mercy on us......"

Some of the pedestrians would throw them a copper plate, but more of them pushed it away with a look of disgust and hurried away.

Many of those begging were half-grown children, bare, and thin, with no shoes on their feet......

Du Rongzhi's eyes were astringent, her heart seemed to be pressing a boulder, the pain made her breathless, she was about to put down the curtain, and suddenly heard a shout in front of her, "Dead mother-in-law, I'll tell you to steal again!" This was followed by a resounding slap in the face.

I saw a five-year-old man grabbing a skinny, ragged woman like an eagle catching a chicken, the woman was holding a steamed bun tightly in her hand, and her dirty face was no longer recognizable.

She desperately held the steamed bun in her arms and cried, "Uncle, please have mercy on us...... We haven't eaten for three days and three nights, and if we don't eat any more, my child will starve to death!" "Dumbo e-book

Behind her stood a yellow-skinned, wilted little boy, trembling and tugging at the corner of his mother's clothes, watching the strong man grab his mother, and let out a few cries like a little milk cat in fear.

"Damn, if you're pitiful, I'm not pitiful?" The man's eyes widened, and he said viciously, "You fucking stole Lao Tzu's steamed buns, and Lao Tzu couldn't make money, who did Lao Tzu cry to?!" So saying, he went to snatch the steamed bun from the woman's arms.

When the woman saw that she couldn't break free, she turned her heart sideways, opened her mouth and bit the man's hand.

"Shhh The woman hurriedly picked up the child and was about to run away, but unexpectedly, the man grabbed her hair and scolded angrily, "You stinky, you dare to bite Lao Tzu when you steal Lao Tzu's things...... Look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't kill you today! As he spoke, he pushed the woman to the ground, and his fists and feet were about to beckon.

Seeing that the man was so brutal, the people next to him also put out the fire and only hid to watch him commit violence against the mother and son.

Seeing that the big man's fist was about to fall, the woman clung to the child in her arms and closed her eyes in despairβ€”

"Stop!" Suddenly, a woman's shout came from the carriage.

The man's raised hand couldn't help but pause.

But I saw that the carriage that was still moving had slowly stopped.

A pretty girl got out of the carriage, and she turned around and helped a young woman out.

Seeing that the woman had a friendly face and was well-dressed, the other begging refugees all came over and stretched out a pair of black and thin hands around Du Rongzhi, "Madam, Madame, good manners, enjoy the stuttering...... We haven't eaten in a few days......"

Seeing this, Changxing and the others who accompanied them hurriedly stopped those people and escorted Du Rongzhi and Yuan Yuan to the man and the woman.

Du Rongzhi has often walked around outside in the past few years, and the people in the county also recognize her, and the man saw this, and hurriedly saluted, "The little one has seen Mrs. Zhixian." ”

Du Rongzhi bowed slightly, looked down at the woman who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, and smiled coldly, "Zhang Ahu, you are more and more capable now, you can even do it to women and children......"

When Zhang Ahu heard this, his face shook, and he hurriedly said, "Mrs. Zhixian, you don't know anything about this just now, this woman ...... This woman not only stole the small steamed buns, but also bit the small ......"

Du Rongzhi didn't want to entangle with him in this matter, so she only said lightly, "How much is your steamed bun?" ”

Zhang Ahu was stunned, "Yiwen...... Two for a penny. ”

Du Rongzhi glanced at Yuan Yuan, who stepped forward, took out a purse and handed it to him, and said condescendingly, "Look, is this silver enough to buy all your steamed buns today?" ”

Zhang Ahu opened it and nodded, "Enough is enough...... Enough is enough! He paused, "You're going to ......."

"You can put two more steamed buns for this sister-in-law...... Du Rongzhi looked at the refugees who were stopped behind her, and sighed, "The rest, let's share them with these victims......

"Good, good." Zhang Ahu took the money and immediately smiled, and snorted coldly at the woman on the ground, "You are lucky today, you met our kind-hearted lady of the county magistrate......" and said to Du Rongzhi with a doggy face, "The little one is going to wrap up the steamed buns." "Poop farts to get steamed buns.

Du Rongzhi leaned down and asked the woman softly, "Are you injured?" ”

The woman shook her head with tears streaming down her face, "...... Thank you, thank you, thank you for your great kindness! Saying that, he hurriedly pulled the child over, "Quick, come and kowtow to your benefactor!" The child was just frightened and stupid, and only shrunk into his mother's arms and cried breathlessly, and his little face turned red.
