Zhuang Rou quietly followed the woman into the shack slope, and at this time the porridge was finished, and everyone was at least half-full. Mentally and physically better, many people are planning to go to the river or the mountains to see if they can find some food.

Although it is now winter, and there are too many displaced people, everything that can be eaten out of the surrounding area has been eaten, but maybe there will be some fish that have slipped through the net in the mountains and forests farther away.

With these people walking around, Zhuang Rou followed the woman and became inconspicuous. After following for a while, the woman went into a broken shack.

Zhuang Rou's eyes quickly swept around, and she didn't find anyone she felt was wrong, and it seemed that no one was guarding here. She walked over and glanced in as she passed the fence.

In the small, dark hut lay an old man, and in addition to the child carried by the woman, there were two children, one older and one younger. At this time, the two children were watching the woman take out the bean dregs cake and give it to the old man to eat.

There are no middle-aged men......

Zhuang Rou only stood for a few breaths, glanced inside and walked away, she continued to walk forward, and came to a collapsed shack. Most of the things that could be reused were taken away by the homeless people, and the nest was no longer inhabitable, so she sat here and basked in the sun.

Today's weather is good, the sun is not too cold, and the displaced people are willing to come out of the cold and damp shacks to bask in the sun. If you are warm and warm, you won't feel so hungry, otherwise the taste of hunger and cold will not be good at all.

Zhuang Rou got the information from Chef Liu, the man from the woman's family will leave in the next few days. She wanted to recognize the other party's face, so that she could follow them to see who had found them a job, and she couldn't say who had given them the job.

Now that the person is gone, he must have received the food from the soup kitchen, and after he was full, he went out. The woman still had the dregs on her, and at most in the evening, the man in the shack would inevitably return.

She waited from noon to evening hungry, and the man from this woman's family did not come back, which made Zhuang Rou feel that something was wrong, could it be that she lived in other shacks?

But even if you live somewhere else, you have to come back to eat, and you shouldn't have left quietly before you came!

The homeless people are so poor that no one's shack can light a lamp, and if it weren't for a little moonlight, it would be dark and blind here.

Zhuang Rou thought about it and stood up, ran quickly to the woman's shack, and suddenly leaned into most of her body and shouted, "Sister, go and have a look!" There's a fight down the slope, and I look like it's your man! ”

The woman was startled, and subconsciously said, "Impossible, my man has already gone out to work." ”

Zhuang Rou chuckled in her heart, she had already left before she came out!

She was deliberately stunned, looked at the people in the shack with wide eyes and said, "Ah, this is not the eldest sister's house. It's pitch black, I've found the wrong shack. ”

"But this eldest sister is really blessed, the man can find a job, and now he doesn't have to spend the New Year with us in the wilderness." Zhuang Rou did not leave immediately, but said enviously.

It was too dark, and it was even darker in the shack, if it hadn't been for the second pulse of Ren Du and the eyesight had become much better, she wouldn't have been able to see the expressions of the people in the shack at all.

The woman couldn't see what Zhuang Rou looked like at the door, but she was also a little uneasy, but her own man said that the less people knew, the better. Otherwise, everyone will run to work, and where will they still have their share.

She lowered her head and muttered, "It's not a job, I can't do it for a few days, and I can change a few cakes at most." ”

"I see, then I won't bother." Zhuang Rou retreated and ran down, looking like she was really going to tell the eldest sister that her men were fighting down the slope.

After thinking that the woman should not be able to see herself, Zhuang Rou stopped and slowly walked down the hillside. She snorted, she came for nothing, and she couldn't even follow anyone.

What now, continue to wait outside the city?

She couldn't make up her mind, she had money on her body, and she couldn't die of hunger. Just stay here and wait to see if those looking for work will have new goals.

At this time, Zhuang Rou was a little worried, if he was a man, maybe because he was stronger than others, he would be picked by those people first.

But now she is an adult woman, and she is not a rough and ugly woman, and it is too difficult to pretend to be a man, and it is not easy to find out the news.

She scratched her head helplessly, and her stomach rang uncontrollably. She had not eaten anything except when she came out in the morning, and during the day she had not eaten anything to keep watch over the woman.

Forget it, let's go get something to eat first.

Although the city gate is closed, there are still a few small wine shops at the city gate. It is specially designed to provide convenience for those who want to enter Hongzhou City, but unfortunately come, and can only wait outside the city for the city gate to open.

Zhuang Rou was about to go to these small wine shops, when she suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her behind her. Her ears and eyes are clear now, and at this time the lights are blind, and everyone can't even afford to burn firewood, so they usually don't come out.

As long as there is a difference between ordinary homeless people, she will make up her mind, so she covered her hungry stomach and walked slowly down the slope.

At this time, someone behind him shouted: "The people in front wait." ”

Zhuang Rou stopped, and when she turned her face, it was not the ferocity she was when she scared people in the morning, but the cowardice and horror on her face.

She timidly looked at the people who stopped her, it were two strong men, and suddenly like a frightened rabbit, she took two steps back, and asked very scaredly, "You, what are you calling me for?" ”

"Don't, don't come here. I'm not afraid of you! Zhuang Rou portrayed a timid and scared homeless person vividly, looking at the kind that is always bullied.

Seeing this, the two men laughed twice and said heartily, "Little girl, don't be afraid. We are not bad people, but the families of the rich families in the city, who have come to the workshop to find people to work. ”

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, can there be such a coincidence, deceive the ghost!

She said with a look of disbelief: "Hugh wants to lie to me, how can it be the turn of us women in that coolie work, you are abducting women and selling them to bad places!" ”

Under her control, the Qinglou in Hongzhou City did not dare to buy people indiscriminately, and they had to sell themselves voluntarily, otherwise she would be caught with pigtails and punished again.

Zhuang Rou decided that the two people might have come from other places, and they wanted to abduct and sell the woman by taking advantage of the large number of displaced people here.

If no clues were found in the disappearance case, and two scum who abducted and trafficked women were arrested, it was not in vain.

At this time, a man took out a small cloth bag, opened it and found a piece of yellow paper, revealing three cakes in the paper.

Normally, it is impossible to see what is in the man's hand from such a distance, but Zhuang Rou has already seen it clearly, but he still deliberately pretends not to know, shrinks his shoulders and asks, "What are you going to do!" ”

"This is food, green onion cake, but fragrant." The man shook the cake in his hand, and a faint smell of green onions wafted over.

Although the fragrance is very light, it is enough for people with an empty stomach. To Zhuang Rou's surprise, there were shacks all around, and none of the hungry people who slept in them came out to grab the bread.

It seems that these two people often appear, and everyone has suffered from them, so they don't dare to come out to grab the bread.

Zhuang Rou couldn't help it, but she was afraid to take a few steps forward, revealing a greedy expression. Coupled with the rumbling of her stomach, she swallowed her saliva vigorously and stammered: "You are recruiting coolies, I am a woman, you lie to people, I won't eat." ”

The man said patiently: "We have recruited a lot of people, and they said that they would not pay for their work, but for food. But if there are more cooks, there will not be enough cooks, so my master wants to recruit a few more women who will wash the dishes for the cook. ”

"That's right, no salary, but two meals a day. Seeing that you are still in good spirits, if you want to go into the city with us, these three cakes will be considered a deposit. He stretched the bread to Zhuang Rou again, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Zhuang Rou watched them breathe for a few breaths, and finally came over, snatched the cake, and stuffed the cake into his mouth like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Looking at her hungry and long-term eating, the two men glanced at each other and smiled: "Okay, you just agree." Go talk to your family, come with us now. ”
