Chapter 125: Villagers Grab Food
In the evening, white tents were set up on an open flat field.
From the capital to this place, the convoy traveled for two days and two nights, Murong Moyi and the soldiers were extremely tired, after everyone had a simple meal, except for the night watchman, they all nested in the tent and fell asleep.
Because the tent was limited, Murong Moyi slept with the soldiers, listening to the soldiers snoring deeply, although he was tired, he did not feel the slightest sleep.
For three years, that woman had eaten away at his heart like a Gu, causing him to suffer from severe insomnia and a serious headache.
Just like at this time, he had a headache again, and he thought of the scene when he and Yin Yi went to the border to distribute food three years ago, as if there was her shadow everywhere, and only when she was drunk could he be freed, so the wine was his best friend in the past three years.
Murong Moyi sat up and quietly walked out of the tent.
The sky has already darkened, but the torches have illuminated the place, and when you look up, the stars are dotted, and tomorrow must be another sunny day.
Dressed in a dark auspicious cloud brocade robe, he stood with his hands in his hands, his posture was still tall and strong, and his hair was still flamboyant, but the original gray and white were more white, reflecting the dazzling white light under the reflection of the moon.
He thought of Yin Yi's thunderous appearance at him at the border, after the grain was burned, and thought of her calm and calm appearance when she saw through the spy of Yin Guo......
Everything about her followed him like a shadow.
This time he took the initiative to distribute food with the army and proposed it to Emperor Yujing, thinking that he could take a break in his mind by being busy, but he didn't expect that no matter where she went, her figure would always linger. This longing in his heart made him feel painful.
At this time, there was a faint figure in the distance, and he fixed his eyes to see that there were thin people walking towards this side one after another, holding cloth bags in their hands, it seemed that they couldn't sleep for the life-saving food, and they came early.
Basically, every time the people come to line up in the middle of the night, but this is just after dark, isn't it a little too early, there is still a whole night, is it not tired to line up all night?
In the distance, I heard the guards shouting for the night to drive away.
"Go back, go back, come back tomorrow morning!"
"Let's go, come back tomorrow morning, and let people rest?"
But the villagers still stayed there and refused to leave, until there were more and more people, and when there were about a hundred people, the twenty or so guards who were patrolling the night could not parry.
At this time, only one of the villagers shouted, "Rob! ”
Everyone broke through the guards' lines like a floodgate and swarmed towards the cartload of grain.
More than 20 guards were directly dumbfounded, they were Murong Moyi's people, naturally they knew that the villagers couldn't fight, so they could only shout loudly, kick with their feet, and pull with their hands, but they could manage one, and they couldn't manage so much!
Villagers with sharp weapons such as scissors in their hands, cut open the sacks, and then frantically poured grain into their cloth bags, and some even directly put the whole bag of grain on their shoulders. Some of them fought because they couldn't grab their hands, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
The case of hungry people looting food happened in times of war, but if it is peaceful today, and it has been divided for three consecutive years, and everything has been peaceful, who would have thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen this year?
More and more villagers came one after another, and the scene became more and more uncontrollable, and many villagers fled in the direction of their homes with the fruits of the battle, and the ground was sprinkled with white flowers......
Murong Moyi couldn't believe his eyes, his head was already hurting, and it was about to explode at this time, so he went back to the nearest tent with difficulty, and called up the forbidden soldiers and guards who were sleeping soundly.
"Quick, wake everyone up, the villagers are grabbing food...... he said, holding his aching forehead.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they instantly lost their sleepiness, and they all picked up their weapons and ran out of the tents.
I only heard Murong Moyi shout again, "Put down your weapons, don't hurt anyone!" ”
The soldiers threw their weapons again and ran out quickly. Soon all the people in the tent were woken up, and each went into battle with his bare hands.
Soon, a burst of cursing and wailing broke the silence of the night, and most of the villagers who participated in the food grabbing ran away, and those who stayed behind were naturally severely punished by the soldiers, and they were basically knocked to the ground and could not move.
Emperor Yujing once issued a heavy order, all villagers who participated in the grain robbery were treated as robbers, and there was no need to report it, and they were directly punished on the spot.
To say that his hundred or so guards must listen to him and not hurt the people, but those forbidden troops are different, they can lay down their weapons and give enough face, but there is no mercy in attack.
Murong Moyi looked at the villagers on the ground who were writhing and wailing, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. It's so ridiculous, even if you don't understand the law, you have to understand reason!
Everyone is hungry, and you have taken away the food, so how will the rest of the people live? What foolishness and ignorance!
Murong Moyi endured his headache and walked to the villagers surrounded by the forbidden army, looking at the emaciated bodies on the ground, there was indescribable pain in his heart, and he only heard him: "Okay, let them go, they have all been punished." ”
A forbidden army hurriedly picked up, "But the emperor has an order, those who rob grain will be killed, and if we release them, it is tantamount to disobeying the order!" ”
Murong Moyi glared at the man fiercely and said, "Do you think you can live if you disobey my words?" I said let it go, the emperor blamed it, and I will bear it alone! ”
Only then did the more than 300 forbidden troops slowly withdraw, and they saw the villagers on the ground standing up with difficulty, limping away slowly, and some even crawled ......
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
The next day, before dawn, Snow Butterfly went to the grain distribution place with a cloth bag, but as soon as she reached a nearby village, she heard a wailing sound from the village.
After careful inquiry, I learned that it was a farmer who participated in the grain grabbing last night and someone died in his family. Not only the dead, but also the unconscious, and the broken arms and legs, the situation is very critical.
Snow Butterfly hurriedly ran home, woke up Yin Yi, and briefly explained the matter.
Yin Yi was stunned as soon as he heard that the villagers were grabbing grain, and all those who participated in the grain grabbing in the years of the war were punished on the spot, and now there are quite strict regulations, thinking that those villagers have their lives and come back alive.
Yin Yi woke up Ao Xue again, and after the three of them dressed up, they picked up two large medicine boxes and went on the road.
After entering the village that Xuedie said, Yin Yi realized the seriousness of the situation, most of the injured people were the pillars of the family, and it was okay to say that the injured ones were lightly injured, and the seriously injured ones could not starve to death in the family?
After surviving all morning, Yin Yi finally put his mind at ease. Fortunately, most people are injured and will be fine after a few months of rest. She went to another village to deal with the wounded. When all was done, it was already dark.
This grain snatching incident not only brought panic to the villagers, but also hurt the hearts of the soldiers who distributed the grain. They came all the way to it, how much sweat they paid, and they were troubled by these villagers, and more than a dozen truckloads of grain were broken and scattered, which made people feel chilling to watch.
It was said that the grain should be distributed today, but after such a fuss, the soldiers were all listless for a whole day, and they dragged their tired bodies to pick up the grain one by one and reload it.
As for whether there will be food tomorrow, it has become unknown.
All the forbidden troops asked to report to the imperial court at this time, but they were suppressed by Murong Moyi, if it was really known by Emperor Yujing, the villagers would wait to starve to death! You must know that these grains are bought from grain merchants from other countries at high prices.
When Yin Yi and the three of them stepped on the stars and dragged their tired bodies home, they deliberately took advantage of the darkness to go around to the grain distribution place to take a look, only to see that the entire grain distribution area was tightly guarded by heavy soldiers, it seems that this matter has caused them a lot of pressure!
The three of them were watching from afar, but they didn't think about it, but they were noticed by Murong Moyi's skilled guards, and they saw the two guards fly up into the air until they landed at the feet of the three of them.
"Who?" The two guards cautiously placed their knives on Yin Yi and Snowdie's necks.
Ao Xue was so frightened that she hugged Yin Yi's thigh, staring at the fierce two with innocent eyes.
Yin Yi has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the two, although they are both wearing uniform armor, but they seem to have seen it somewhere?
Yin Yi made a nervous gesture, hurriedly humbled himself, and said in an honest male voice: "Two generals, I am a doctor in this area, I just came back from a diagnosis, and I happened to pass by here. ”
The two guards looked at each other, then at the two large boxes on her back, only to hear one of them: "Are you really a doctor?" ”
Yin Yi nodded hurriedly and hurriedly opened one of the boxes, only to see that there were some utensils for seeing a doctor and some herbs at the bottom of the box.
The two guards looked at each other and nodded, then put down their knives and said, "You can come with us!" ”
Then the two grabbed Yin Yi's arm.
Yin Yi hurriedly retreated, "We are really good people......"
Seeing Yin Yi's nervous appearance, one person had no choice but to explain: "Don't panic, it's just for you to see a doctor, and the diagnosis money is not less than yours!" ”
Yin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy for these people to come all the way to bring grain, if she refused again, she couldn't be reasonable. Besides, even if they wanted to hurt her, they weren't her match.
Yin Yi looked at Snow Butterfly and Ao Xue on the side, and said to Snow Butterfly: "I'm very tired today, you take Xue'er home for some dinner first, and I'll go back soon!" ”
Snow Butterfly hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, then bent down and picked up Aoxue to leave.
I only heard the immature child's voice sound, "You are not allowed to bully your father!" ”
The two guards glanced at Ao Xue, didn't say anything, and walked towards the tent not far away with Yin Yi.
When Yin Yi approached the tent, she found that all the soldiers looked at her with extremely hideous eyes, it seemed that they hated the villagers for stealing food!
Walking slowly, Yin Yi looked around, and the white tents made her unconsciously think of the scene of following Murong Moyi to the border to distribute grain, everything seemed to happen yesterday, so clear......
The two guards led her to a tent, where a dim candle flame was lit and a man could be seen lying on his side on a wooden bed with his back to them.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go in and report!"
After one of the guards finished speaking, he walked straight into the tent. After a while, he came out and said to Yin Yi: "Go in!" ”
