Chapter 92: Refugees
The next morning, the thought of waking up early flashed through them, and then they thought that they were on a glorious vacation. Pull over the quilt and don't have any scruples.
When they woke up, they felt very comfortable, and when they got up, they cleaned up, and then went to the infirmary to change their dressings at about ten o'clock. When I met Xiang Haichuan and them on the way, I learned that in addition to the fourteen of them, the rest of the people who did not pass the test on the island had to continue training every day.
They don't have to go to the training ground these days, and they can't leave the school. And they can't wander around during normal school hours, so as not to interfere with others' learning. In addition to eating and changing the dressing, they can only stay in the dormitory to rest obediently at other times, and after changing the medicine, they will start to get bored when they return to the dormitory.
When it was time for lunch, Duan Shaoling saw Leng Chuxian, and asked her to take them to the library in the afternoon to borrow a few books to pass the time, even if someone was unwilling, they had no choice, unless they could really lie quietly in the dormitory and sleep.
They had suffered skin wounds and had been recuperating for two or three days, and by Saturday the wounds had almost begun to heal. When it was almost five o'clock, Zou Baoyi proposed that there was no need to have dinner at school tonight, and that the five people in their dormitory plus three girls would go outside to have a rubbing together, which would be regarded as a celebration of their successful passing.
Everyone thought it was a good idea, cleaned it up, and went downstairs to the cafeteria together to wait for the three girls to come. The first to come over was Li Chengjing, seeing the five of them standing at the door and not going in, obviously waiting for someone. "Are you waiting for me?" ”
Chen Zui expressed their meaning again.
"Okay, is that another Baoyi treat?"
Zou Baoyi nodded, "Originally, I shouldn't have been a big head in front of you and Chu Xian, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, and you are girls, and I am always embarrassed to ask you to pay in my territory." ”
Li Chengjing stretched out her thumb to praise his gentlemanly demeanor, "Next time you have time to come to Ningzhou, I will definitely invite you to dinner." ”
Zou Baoyi said with a smile: "If I go to Chuxian's house, I would dare, Ningzhou, except for Chen Zui, I am afraid that it is not suitable for us to disturb." ”
Li Chengjing glanced at him with shame and disgust.
Leng Chuxian happened to come over from the opposite side, and now she and Wang Xiaoyan walked together, "Hey, why don't you all go in at the door?" ”
Li Chengjing said: "You guys came just in time, Baoyi is going to invite us to a big dinner tonight, you don't have to eat at school, we are all waiting for you." ”
Wang Xiaoyan smiled: "Then you can go." "I'm going to go to the cafeteria.
Li Chengjing said: "Xiao Yan let's go together, multiple people, I think Baoyi shouldn't mind." ”
Zou Baoyi said: "What can I mind about this?"
Wang Xiaoyan shook his hand and excused himself, "No, thank you for your kind invitation, it's just that it's too late for me to go back, so let's go." ”
When she said so, they said no more.
After waiting for a while, Zou Baoer also arrived, so they went to the Taifeng Restaurant and asked for a private room as usual. I didn't think that Xiao Er arranged the box that they came to for the first time, and I thought of Liao Zhongying, and I don't know if he is doing well now, and he and Hu Yuanlan are not already married and are about to get married.
Among them, there are only two girls who are close to the government, and Li Chengjing's position is a little inconvenient, so they asked Leng Chuxian to help ask about the current situation of the two of them, and Leng Chuxian said that he would find a time for his father to investigate.
The shopkeeper was still drinking first, and Zou Baoer told them that it was better to restrain themselves just after the new injury had recovered, and there was no need to rush this time, and in the end they didn't drink too much.
It was almost nine o'clock when they left, and Zou Baoyi asked them not to go back at all, and they all stayed at his house tonight. Lu Baiting and Shen Hong were both going back to their homes on Saturday night. But now it's getting late, according to what Zou Baoyi said, I'll go to his house for one night tonight. It's not too late for the four of them to think about it, and now it's too late to go back to school, so it's still customary to go back to the dormitory to sleep.
The New Year has passed, and there is no more light on the street, only a few lonely lamps accompanied by a lone star and a bright moon, which is a little more lonely than when I first came back. The evening breeze is urgent, and it is a bit sluggish. Festivals are also like the change of seasons, when they come prosperous, they are as prosperous as spring and summer, and after all, they are silent like autumn and winter.
Walking through Fulin Street, I saw a group of people gathered around the corner. Although I couldn't see them clearly in the darkness, I saw them sitting and lying alive, and there seemed to be no intention that the comer was unkind.
When I got closer, I saw that most of these people were old and weak, women and children, and on cold nights, some women were holding children in their arms, some were snuggling up to each other to keep warm, and some were holding shabby burdens on their chests to resist the cold wind.
Duan Shaoling said in a low voice: "It's strange, now not to mention the peace of the country and the people, but there is no famine, how can there be so many more refugees?" ”
Chen Zui said: "Or where is the war, they fled out?" Subconsciously looked at Li Chengjing.
Li Chengjing Yao shook her head and said: "Although our Li family and the Yin family are both ready to move, they have scruples about each other, and the past two years have only been a stalemate, even if there are occasional confrontations, and they are like friction in the corners, there has been no large-scale war, if there is, how can I not know?" ”
Chen Zui said again: "That's strange, these people are obviously fleeing, where did they come from?" Did they flee from the north? ”
Li Chengjing said: "That's not going to happen, my father's spies have infiltrated the north to collect intelligence, even if the north goes to war, we can also get the news, this Spring Festival is very peaceful, and the balance between the forces of all parties has not been broken." ”
The three of them all looked at Li Chengjing in unison, and there was something strange in the night.
Li Chengjing smiled faintly: "It's not just our Li family who will do this, I don't know how many tea houses there are in Ningzhou, there are spies of various forces hidden in the pawn shop, and they have also figured out a lot about the situation of our Li family." "At this time, all the warlords have the intention of annexing the world, and it is normal for them to make secret visits and steal information.
They had already walked forward for a while, and Chen Zui stopped and said, "Let's go back and ask what is going on." ”
When Duan Shaoling saw these people hiding on the side of the road in the starry night, homeless, he was very sympathetic, and immediately went back to Chen Zui to ask about the situation.
"Wait, you don't have to go back and ask." Leng Chuxian pointed ahead.
The situation at the corner in front is the same as that of Fulin Street, so there are many people who suffer. They immediately walked to the front, and Chen Zui squatted down and asked, "Where are you from?" Why are you hiding here homeless? ”
When they saw that the four were all seventeen or eighteen years old, they didn't want to explain so much. However, on this quiet and cold night, there were a few people who sincerely expressed their concern for them, and their hearts couldn't help but feel warm.
So they said that they were all from Nancun, which is the most remote village in the northwest of Guicheng, located at the junction of Guicheng and Nanbin, and it is necessary to go around a big hill to get to Nanbin. But in this remote village, a group of thieves who burned and looted came more than ten days ago, killed their villagers, occupied their village, and robbed men and women, and they were lucky to be able to escape.
Leng Chuxian asked, "How many days have you been fleeing here?" Why don't you report to the police? ”
"Hey," an old man sighed, "In this world, we don't know who should be in charge of us, and where to report?" ”
They were speechless when asked, Li Chengjing walked away first, and they also left.
Duan Shaoling thought to himself that the current new government was just a name, and it had no real power to command the warlords. In the end, the struggle for power between the new government and the warlords is still suffering from the people, who are bullied, and there is no place to appeal for justice. If it weren't for Li Chengjing's face, he would inevitably reprimand those warlords on the spot.
Li Chengjing never spoke again, and when she was about to arrive at the school gate, she said: "I will go to Commander Qi tomorrow, ask him to inquire about the situation clearly, and then bring a team of soldiers and horses to suppress these bandits, and give them a happy home." ”
Duan Shaoling couldn't help but say: "Cheng Jing, I know that you have this heart of suffering, but Commander Qi may not think the same as you, and he may not be able to wade into this troubled water." ”
Li Chengjing smiled and said: "Shaoling, you really underestimate our Li family, we have the heart to chase the world, but I still understand the truth that those who have the heart of the name win the world." I don't deny that we won't do so morally in the face of some self-interest, but since I have encountered this matter today, I always have a way to get Commander Qi to send troops to suppress the bandits. ”
Duan Shaoling was inconvenient to argue with her anymore, after all, he still believed what Li Chengjing said. Chen Zui thought of the situation he and Li Chengjing would have to face in the future, and his heart was at a loss.
Leng Chuxian never asked Li Chengjing about these things, went back to the dormitory, freshened up, and went to bed separately.
Early the next morning, after Li Chengjing finished grooming, she left the school alone and went to the commander's mansion, she still didn't need to embarrass Commander Qi as the eldest lady, as long as she knew what he was doing, the two reached a consensus and then talked to his father on the phone to send troops to suppress the bandits.
Come to the Commander's Mansion. The people in the mansion didn't know Li Chengjing's true identity, but they all remembered that she borrowed a car from Commander Qi last time she came to the mansion, and they were called uncles and nephews.
Li Chengjing didn't see Commander Qi when she arrived in the hall, so she asked her to sit for a while, served tea, and sent someone in to inform Commander Qi. With a cup of tea, Commander Qi walked out of it.
The person who reported it told him that it was Miss Li who came back to ask him to borrow a car, so Commander Qi came out and saw her greet her with a smile, and he was not the slightest surprised.
Li Chengjing stood up and said respectfully: "Uncle Qi, my niece came to disturb this time, and she has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. ”
