Chapter 8: Organized Conspiracy
Originally, the chickens at home laid eggs for the children to eat, and the mutton was also for milk production, but there was nothing left, and the children's eating and drinking became a problem.
The goat's milk stored in the kitchen was also drunk, and even the pot on the stove was lifted, and the pot was smashed and deflated, and all the broken things were thrown into the yard, and the yard was full of things.
The vegetables in the backyard are gone, not even the leaves left.
It is more terrifying than the passage of locusts.
When Chen Mofan came back, he sighed deeply when he saw the mess, he found nails and hammers, sat in the yard and repaired them.
The bowl was broken a lot, some bowls were just missing, some of the bowls were broken into pieces, and the things that were still safe at home were cleaned up, Jiang Yuanyuan went to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's tablet to tidy it up, although the house was so messy, but Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's tablet was still good, but it was moved, and after cleaning, I lit incense, burned the oil lamp, Jiang Yuanyuan tore through the clothes, and sewed it a little bit.
After a while, Jiang Xuan came back.
"How?" Jiang Yuanyuan put down the things in her hand and asked a little nervously.
"The quilt was messed up, there were more than a dozen beds missing, but it was generally fine, and a lot of things over there were also smashed, the shelves were broken, and a few water tanks were broken." Jiang Xuan said, "The three bags of rice in the kitchen have been taken away, and Shopkeeper Liu is fine." ”
"Well, it's okay for people to be fine." Jiang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, what about Sister Qian?" ”
"They're okay too." Chen Mofan said, "They are now at Uncle Sun's house. ”
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, they were also wide open to the door, Jiang Yuanyuan hesitated, and walked in, Sheng Father and Sheng Mother went out for a long time and didn't come back, I guess I would be scared when I came back.
A casual glance at it, the flowers in the yard were torn apart, and nothing else was needed.
Is it not good to casually enter other people's rooms, Jiang Yuanyuan lifted the two fallen door panels to block the door, and reluctantly placed them.
After dawn, Jiang Yuanyuan asked everyone to go to the field together, anyway, the first wave of looting has passed, and there will be no second wave in a short time, everyone's food has been robbed, they are okay, they did not resist and are not injured, but there are many farmers and these refugees quarrel, and finally people are also beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and a night has passed, and the sound of crying is everywhere.
Jiang Yuanyuan sat on the door, rubbing the injured soil, and suddenly wanted to take a big cigarette to smoke, she took a deep breath, suppressed this thought, scratched her head, and her hair was messy.
"Yuanyuan!" Shopkeeper Liu showed Jiang Yuanyuan the accounts he had calculated, Jiang Yuanyuan took it and looked at it seriously, turning page by page, and then nodded tacitly.
"That's it." Jiang Yuanyuan said, her voice was a little hoarse, she coughed, rubbed her chest, "But you can't let people know that we are selling food." ”
"Why?" Jiang Qian asked suspiciously, her due date should be ten days ago, but she did not give birth for a long time, she was a little frightened yesterday, and her stomach was a little swollen and painful, and she asked the midwife, and the midwife said that it would be okay to warm up for a while, but if the feeling of swelling pain became more and more intense, it was estimated that it would be these days, and she must walk more and move more in the past few days.
"Of the people who came to our house yesterday, there was clearly one person who was the leader." Jiang Yuanyuan said in a deep voice, "A group of refugees, a group of displaced people, are all hungry people, even if someone takes them to burn, kill and loot, in the case of insufficient food, who will be so convinced to listen to a person's orders, and willing to give some of the food they have looted to this person." ”
Rubbing his temples: "Even if a few people are willing to listen, it definitely does not mean that all people are willing, there is only one reason why all people are willing, they are organized." ”
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, he tapped the back of his hand nervously, and walked back and forth, also realizing this.
"The news we get is always a mixture of truth and falsehood, but no matter what, we have all received the news that the disaster has been controlled, even if there are refugees, how can there be so many, the first batch of looted refugees may be true, maybe there are false, and the after, more or less, true and false, who can tell the difference."
"What is the purpose of this......" Jiang Xuan said in a daze, his eyes glazed.
"The purpose? Oh, there's a lot of purpose. Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, "Sheng Rong told me before, everything must have a reason, and doing so will only make more and more people unable to live, then, will there be a group of people who are so hungry that they can't stand it anymore and start begging for food, will there be a group of people who will rob and grab like these refugees, there will be a shortage of food, there will be riots of the people, and this person's purpose will be achieved." ”
"The people are rioting, the society is uneasy, the court is not standing, this is to seize the ......" Liu's shopkeeper's voice trembled a little.
"Don't say so much." Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, "In short, we must not let people know that we bought and sold grain, and we can't control the overall situation of the country, just take care of ourselves." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, Jiang Qian touched her stomach slightly, and wrinkled her eyebrows with some concern.
"How can we let others not know that it is us?" Chen Mofan, who was leaning against the door, asked.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuanyuan, and Jiang Yuanyuan stared at the land in front of him deeply: "I have a way, Brother Mo Fan, now follow me to the dart game." ”
Chen Mofan nodded, put the white snow in his arms into Sun Hui's injury, Jiang Yuanyuan stood up and patted his leg, "We'll be back in the evening." ”
"Stay safe." Jiang Qian said, she held her waist weakly and said softly.
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, she only moved the horse back yesterday, but fortunately she moved it back, otherwise they would have lost the money.
Quickly drove the ox cart to the city, Jiang Yuanyuan noticed that along the way, the rice fields on the side of the road were pulled out, it was the autumn harvest season, although the harvest was not good, and a batch of taxes had to be paid, but these autumn harvest rice can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of many people's families, and now these rice have been pulled, no matter whether the harvest is finished or not, there will be no food at home anyway, which is undoubtedly a complete collapse of the people.
This year's lake water is extraordinarily sufficient, but there are not a few fish, the fish were almost caught by their own family, these refugees walked over, and they would not let go, Jiang Yuanyuan saw a lot of people digging things in the ditch in the paddy field, thinking that they were digging eels these, at this time they knew that they were not fools who came out and looked for them quickly.
Rushed to the city, the environment in the city is not better than home, how many families are wailing, sitting at the door beating their chests, but some of everyone's stores, because there are guards, the refugees are invincible, but they have not entered, some small businesses, are crying silently.
Chen Mofan told himself that in the past few days, more than a dozen restaurants in the city have been closed, and some small businesses have also been closed, but even if they are closed, they can't escape the looting.
When I went to the dart game, the door of the dart game was closed, Jiang Yuanyuan stepped forward and knocked, it was quiet inside, and it was opened after a long time, it was opened by a bald man, he was also the person who protected Jiang Yuanyuan's dart, and when he saw Jiang Yuanyuan, he was obviously relieved.
"Miss Jiang, why are you here?" The man scratched his head, "We thought it was those refugees again." ”
"Yuanyuan?" Lao Yang pushed the man away, and said in surprise, "Why are you here, by the way, are you okay?" ”
"We're fine." Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head and said with a smile, "Why don't you invite me in." ”
"Oops, I was negligent, come in, come in." Lao Yang opened the door, Jiang Yuanyuan found that behind the gate, there was a group of people with sticks, followed in, and saw that it was Jiang Yuanyuan, they also knew who it was, after all, the people who sent the darts back in the past few days kept saying how about a Miss Jiang.
The door was closed, Lao Yang ran to the house, and then took them to the hall, sat down, Jiang Yuanyuan looked around, things were in good condition, and they were still facing the rice from generation to generation, it seemed that they were fine.
"Where's Xiao Yang?" Jiang Yuanyuan took the tea sent by Lao Yang and asked curiously.
"He went out to see his mother, and he guess he'll be back soon." Lao Yang waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this first, you guys are okay, zebra, yesterday we were unloading, this group of people rushed over, straight to the grain truck, our dart bureau people and they talked for a night, and it was not easy to hurt them, so they drove them away until almost dawn, and kept the grain." ”
"We're fine." Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head, "You have protected our darts all the way, you should also know that I bought rice, I came this time, mainly to ask you to help us." ”
Lao Yang put down the teacup and thought, "Yuanyuan, although I know what you have to do, I don't think I can help." ”
"No!" Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head, "If you follow what you said, I believe that tonight, the refugees will come back, they will not go anywhere, they will only collect near you, harass you, and are bound to capture you." ”
"Why?" Lao Yang was shocked, "We have more than 50 people in the dart bureau, each of them has kung fu on their bodies, did they move us, and although they have a leader, they know that the enemy can't be beaten, once or twice, at most three times will give up, why do you assert it like this." ”
"Since you know that there are leaders, how can you not guess that maybe not all of these refugees are refugees?" Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head and smiled, "How can such an organized, disciplined, and well-defended person be a refugee who has never been trained?" ”
Lao Yang was shocked, he stood up and walked back and forth a few times, "Let's miss it first." ”
He ran to the inner room, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked out, the middle-aged man looked more like a scholar, but there was a deep anger between his eyebrows.
"Miss Jiang, I understand what you said, what should we do? Or rather, what do you need our help with? ”
