"It's too much..."After the two left, Chi Jing walked out, looking a little angry, but also a little guilty and dazed.

If she hadn't heard the sound of the jade bottle, she should hate these dog officers and soldiers more than herself, wouldn't she? Just thinking about it, Chi Jing turned his head to look left and right, and the jade bottle that was standing beside him was nowhere to be found. On the ground, there were a few small low sobs.

She looked down and saw that it was indeed a jade bottle. The jade bottle squatted on the ground, covering her mouth with one hand, trying not to let out a mournful cry.

Chi Jing silently. I don't know how long it took, but the jade bottle wiped her tears and stood up. Her eyes were a little swollen, and she smiled reluctantly at Chi Jing and said, "Girl, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Chi Jing answered softly, stepped up and walked towards the greenhouse with his feet in plain cloth shoes and the jade bottle.

At this time, the two of them had changed into the clothes that ordinary people wore when they were farming, and their hair was tied up and wrapped in floral cloth towels, looking like two ordinary peasant women. Ji Jing's face was no longer covered, and the scar on her face was exposed in broad daylight, but she touched it with powder and grease a little, so she couldn't tell that it was a word.

The two of them walked forward generously, because they also smeared their faces and hands with yellow powder, covering their original white faces and hands, and their faces looked sallow and haggard, the same as those of the victims.

Especially the jade bottle that cried just now, there is still a little sadness on his face, as if he had just lost a loved one in this flood.

"There used to be a famine in Gucheng..."

...

As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse, and the words that came out were like a stone stuck in her throat. She cleared her throat before she spoke again: "In the year of the famine in Gucheng... There were a lot of officers and soldiers who came to provide disaster relief. ”

Chi Jing walked with her head down, although she was silent, but Jade Bottle knew that as long as she was willing to speak, she was willing to listen.

"At that time, we could only get two bowls of rice soup a day, sometimes only one. Once. I'm hungry, and a bowl of rice soup isn't enough, far from enough. But I was hungry, and a boy sitting next to us was crying out that he was hungry. ”

Kids, if one of them starts shouting first, the others will start shouting along. Soon, the children throughout the shelter were shouting hunger, hunger, hunger.

"I noticed that one of my mothers had bitten her lip and I made up my mind to go out. It didn't take long for her to bring back a bowl of white rice. ”

It was rice, not piled up as high as a hill, but it was also a bowl full of rice that was pressed firmly. She watched as the boy ate the bowl of rice, and there was not a single rice left.

"I just told my mother, mother, how can they have rice to eat, we don't have it."

When the mother heard this, her eyes turned red. The mother looked at her father, who was lying on the ground unconscious with a high fever, and kept watching, and unconsciously bit her lip.

"The bottle is good, my mother went out to find food, but my mother has a condition, don't you tell your father if it's okay?" The mother hugged her and begged for a promise, and gently pulled her hook.

The mother straightened her hair and walked out like the boy's mother.

Not long after, my mother also brought back a bowl of white rice. The rice was a little more than the boy's bowl, and it was topped with a little vegetable soup, which was very fragrant. The jade bottle said, his nose was sore, and tears flowed down quietly.

She didn't know where her mother had found the rice, and she just thought that it was great to have rice to eat. So during the days when my father was in a coma, she begged her mother every day to go out and find rice and come back for her to eat...

She kept this little secret with her mother, until just now, just now... She just knew.

"It turns out that my mother's bowls of white rice were exchanged for this... Mother... Father... Daughter deserve to die, daughter deserve to die... Yes... Mother..."Anyway, no one knew that they were not disaster victims, so the jade bottle simply squatted back on the ground and cried loudly.

The cry drifted far, far away, but no one poked their heads out to look at it in concern. It's just that there are too many cries like this these days, too much.

...

"You two stop, why haven't I seen you before, what's your name?"

The two walked into one of the sheds that housed the victims, and a soldier noticed that she was both blind, so he came over to interrogate them.

Chi Jing raised his head, and the scar on his face fell hideously into the soldier's field of vision, and the soldier quickly shrank back.

"Official, we were asked to come by the officials of the greenhouses over there, and the ones over there were crowded, saying that there were still vacancies here, so we were tired and accommodating, thank you." The jade bottle couldn't see where to go, and with red and swollen eyes, he secretly stuffed a dozen copper plates into the little soldier's hand.

Xiao Bing saw that she had just cried, and she must have been bullied by the officers and soldiers on the other side, plus these copper plates... It's better than nothing, and after a few words of advice, don't run around, and walk away.

"Jade bottle, will it be too little?" Chi Jing asked in a low voice, a little confused. According to the appetite of these officers and soldiers, a dozen copper plates are enough? That's incorruptible.

The jade bottle quietly pulled Chi Jing to a relatively clean and ventilated place to sit down, and then said softly: "Girl, you don't know. Both of the disaster relief money must have been taken by the senior officials, and the remaining part was distributed to his cronies and subordinates. The cronies and subordinates of the big officials took it, and then the remaining small profits were the turn of these errand officials, but they were all taken by those officials, and they were grassroots soldiers with little status who basically couldn't get touch with oil and water. ”

After that, he looked around again, and saw that no one was coming, so he continued to say with confidence: "At most, they can only get an improvement in food, and sometimes they are stained with meat." And the victims who guarded all day were even more penniless, so let alone a dozen copper plates, even if they were only given a few copper plates, they would turn a blind eye. ”

Chi Jing nodded his head again and again, saying yes, so it takes experience and skill to pretend to be a disaster victim.

"And the other is." The jade bottle said again. "If he is given more than two pieces of silver, he will also be worried."

If he really cares about you, even if he robs you of all the money, you have nothing to say.

...

Chi Jing was about to say something, when he suddenly put his finger to his mouth and "shhhh

"It's time to divide the porridge, come and get the porridge, hurry up." Two officers and soldiers shouted, carrying a steaming cauldron outside the greenhouse, and there were many tattered bowls next to the cauldron.

Stirring the gruel in the cauldron with a spoon, seeing that the victims in front of him were obediently waiting in line one after another, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Yes, isn't this a good day?" If I continue to rob like I did yesterday, I'll have to whip you again. ”

Draw out?

Chi Jing and Jade Bottle looked at the victims around them, and only then did they notice the bloody bruises under the ragged clothes of the victims in front of them.

But the most serious should be the dozen or so victims who were lying on the ground in the rear and couldn't get up, they were unconscious, and they couldn't even get up to get up to receive the porridge.
