Chapter Seventy-Six: The Widows
Jiang Qianliang took Fan Xixi from Chengnan Village to the east for a distance, and met people in twos and threes on the way, who were hurrying to the west.
At first, the two didn't pay much attention to it, but gradually, they met more and more people on the road, and they met groups of people walking west with the family's luggage.
I finally realized that things are not simple.
Fan Xixi raised his head and looked at Jiang Qianliang with some concern. Jiang Qianliang took the hand on Fan Xixi's shoulder and touched the top of Fan Xixi's head, as if to reassure her not to be afraid.
casually grabbed a middle-aged man pushing a wheelbarrow, "Why are you all going west?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't stop, and hurriedly said to Jiang Qianliang: "Young man, you don't know yet!" ”
"The Woko have come in, run west!"
Jiang Qianliang just wanted to ask about the palace, the army and the like, but just opened his mouth and said, "That official mansion... A few words were interrupted by a middle-aged man.
"Don't expect the government, now there is no government stationed in Ningbo, and the army has not arrived, it is simply the base camp of the Japanese robbers!"
ripped off Jiang Qianliang's arm on his shoulder, shook it ruthlessly, and continued to rush his own way.
Jiang Qianliang saw a frightened woman sitting under the black shed of the wheelbarrow, holding a newborn doll waiting to be fed in her arms.
Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xixi didn't know whether to continue to go east at this time.
The two men had no choice but to retreat to the side of the road first, so as not to be coerced by the large army of civilians fleeing westward.
Although the Japanese from the east were menacing, for Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xixi, the assassins from the west were even more urgent, after all, those people had come to ask for their lives.
Jiang Qianliang took out the grain in the bag and handed it to Fan Xixi, "Xixi, let's eat a little first, and after eating, let's see which way the situation goes." ”
Fan Xixi pursed her lips, Jiang Qianliang's behavior was very heartwarming. She packed her pack with very little food. Because I didn't expect that there would be a Japanese attack in the east, I thought that when I got to Ningbo, I could temporarily get rid of the government's tracking and exchange a little money for some food.
But according to the current situation, I am afraid that there will be no food to buy in the east, and I don't know how long the two of them will have to last with this grain in the baggage.
But Jiang Qianliang handed it to her to eat first, just because he was afraid that he would worry about this troubled world, and he wanted to make himself feel at ease.
Fan Heehi took the cake and took two bites. This kind of cake was specially brought to her by Ge Tongzhou, and it is suitable for long journeys to eat dry food, although it is resistant to damage, but it is very hard.
It is said that it took two bites, but in fact, it was grinding the cake with his teeth for a long time, and all that came to his mouth was some white foam.
"It's too dry!" Jiang Qianliang watched Fan Xixi eat hard, and unscrewed the water bladder for her and handed it to her mouth, "Drink some water and swallow it." ”
When Jiang Qianliang handed it over, there was a reassuring smile on it at the same time, which really made Fan Xixi feel at ease.
In the midst of the hurried passers-by, the two of them stood on the side of the road, eating quietly, watching the people coming and going in a hurry.
It's like two worlds.
The people in front of them were noisy, and everyone's heart was full of fear and unease; But in the hearts of Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xixi, it seems that there is only this moment, and they snuggle up to each other, which is enough to feel at ease.
After Fan Xixi took two bites, he handed the cake back to Jiang Qianliang and handed it directly to his mouth, which meant that he also ate a few bites to pad his hunger, after all, he didn't know how long he had to travel.
Jiang Qianliang didn't have any taboos, and continued to bite down on the small bite that Fan Xixi had bitten on the cake. He chewed hard in his mouth.
This cake also doesn't taste good, and the texture is not good. It's hard and astringent, and something like this is probably better than feeding a dog in the palace.
But this is the only food in the hands of Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xixi, and they have to save these few pieces of bread to eat.
Fan Xixi kept looking up at Jiang Qianliang gnawing on this piece of cake, Jiang Qianliang even used his other hand to pick up the broken pieces that accidentally fell off the cake, and after gnawing the cake, he poured these broken white foam into his mouth, poured a large mouthful of water, and reluctantly swallowed it.
Fan Xixi looked at Jiang Qianliang like this, and was even a little inexplicably moved, because he was now very down-to-earth and simple like a man.
Jiang Qianliang controlled himself to bite two bites of a cake of the same size as Fan Xixi, and then withdrew it into the bag, and the water bladder was also screwed and put inside.
After packing up, he grabbed Fan Xixi's hand tightly and walked west. Because he accidentally glanced at the city gate in the east, there were already officers and soldiers checking one by one, and there was a long queue.
In any case, where there are officers and soldiers, the two of them are very dangerous.
Even if there are Japanese pirates in the east, there will always be a glimmer of life.
They were already gambling with their lives, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
The farther east you go, the fewer people are hurrying away.
Walking and walking, there were only two people on the entire road, Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xixi.
The winter wind, because it is extremely cold in a place where no one is around, the cold air rushes straight into the clothes.
There were only dry branches on the side of the road to keep them company, and it looked particularly bleak.
Fan Xixi held Jiang Qianliang's hand tightly, she was really a little timid in her heart.
Jiang Qianliang also shook it back hard, wanting to help Fan Xixi eliminate this fear.
First of all, Fan Xixi saw that on the far side of the road, there were two men with long knives and obscene figures, pulling a pregnant woman.
The two men resembled the widows Fan Heedy had seen in the portrait before, with scarves tied around their heads, long knives raised above their heads, and clothes that resembled both skirts and shorts, and severe looped legs.
Fan Xixi tugged at the corner of Jiang Qianliang's clothes, and pointed there with his other hand.
Jiang Qianliang immediately surged with blood, placed Fan Xixi on the side of the road, rushed forward with a few arrows, and kicked a flying leg in the middle of a widow's chest pain, and was kicked to the ground.
After Jiang Qianliang stood firm, he kicked back and kicked off the long knife in the hand of another widow, and smashed the cheekbone of this widow with one punch, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing the two widows rolling on the ground in pain, Jiang Qianliang went to help the pregnant woman who had already fallen to the ground.
As a result, helping the pregnant woman halfway, the pregnant woman suddenly screamed, and Jiang Qianliang felt the pain in his back as if it was cracked.
It turned out that he was stabbed in the back by one of the widows in the back.
The sword light and blood shadow, blood stains splashed the face of the widow behind him.
Jiang Qianliang endured the pain, turned around and stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the Japanese coarse, and barely maintained his physical strength, stood up from the ground with the long knife, and stabbed the long knife into the chest pain of the other Japanese coarse.
There was a scream, and blood spurted out.
Chu Shancheng also used up all his strength and fell straight to the ground, his back covered in blood.
