The next road is indeed much more difficult than the previous one. The number of displaced people encountered on the road increased to dozens or hundreds of people, walking together in groups. Their gaze was no longer numb and despairing, but a faint green light.

All the bark and grass roots that could be eaten along the way were eaten, and not even a bird was heard along the way. Wen Wan occasionally lifted the curtain, and could see several people beating their heads and bleeding for a handful of grass.

When the desperate and unclothed people saw their carriage passing by, they dragged their children and knelt upright in front of the carriage to block the way to the carriage, just to beg for food. But Wen Wan saw with her own eyes that because of the short stop, the carriage was surrounded by a bunch of people who came out from behind the trees, and all the rice, grain, and even clothes were robbed.

The whole team shuddered at the scenes, and the only thing that could reassure them was to speed up their way. Wen Wan asked Lin Yuan to inform the housekeeper that everyone must keep an eye on the carriage, even if they sleep at night, they must sleep in the carriage.

Now, with just a few dozen of them, I am afraid that it will not be able to scare off those refugees who are born from the side of their hearts. These people have survived the disaster of war, they have survived hunger, they have survived death, and all that remains is the paranoia of surviving even at the expense of others.

Wen Wan became more and more restless, and for the sake of peace of mind, she specially told Lin Yuan that starting tonight, whenever she stopped to rest and eat, a large pot of boiling water and a large pot of hot oil would be boiled next to each car. All had to be guarded in three shifts, and everyone on duty on each shift had to carry a knife. He also asked Lin Yuan to give each person a large package of chili noodles and a bag of lime powder in his arms.

That night, Wen Wanyi lay in the carriage tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Suddenly, she sat up with her ears pricked up, and pressed her ears to the window and remained motionless. She could tell that there was a rustling movement outside the carriage, and the gang really couldn't help it. She pushed Lin Yuan, put her index finger to her lips, and motioned for him to silence and listen carefully to the movement outside.

Lin Yuan was suddenly shocked, he touched Wen Wan's cold hand and got out of the car. Soon, there was a jumble of footsteps, low exclamations and heavy wheezing outside the carriage.

Then Lin Yuan shouted, "Splash me!" ”

Wen Wan trembled from the screams outside the carriage, followed by the sound of all the servants dressing in a panic and shouting and scolding. Wen Wan pursed her lips and waited for about a quarter of an hour until it was quiet outside, and then she opened the curtain and looked out, and the candles were bright.

"Auntie? What's wrong? Ah Xian felt light, his eyelashes trembled twice and woke up. Seeing that Wen Wan didn't sleep at night, she poked her head out and looked out, and she yawned and rubbed her eyes curiously and wanted to drill out, but Wen Wan pressed back.

"Look at the excitement of the children's house, go to sleep. If you don't obey, tell your dad to beat you! "Gentle and intimidating.

Ah Xian pursed his lips, lay down again, and said who is rare, so he pulled the quilt and fell asleep with his head in a huff.

Only then did Wen Wan see that dozens of thin middle-aged croppers were lying outside the car, rolling on the ground. His face was covered with blisters splashed with hot oil and boiling water, and he was covering his face and wailing violently. Steward Gu and his servants surrounded several people, and his hands and feet trembled with anger.

"Black-hearted things, doing this immoral thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, are not afraid of retribution!" The servant scolded with hatred.

"Phew! Do you still want to steal Lao Tzu's cooking cakes, and when Lao Tzu is dead? The second servant spat out of anger.

"Eating rotten pomegranates and having a belly full of bad ideas, are you worthy of your ancestors? Shame on you! The servant three kicked the strongest man at the root of his body, and kicked the man until he screamed and screamed.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but spit on the leader, these people are so hateful!

Wen Wan saw that the person had been beaten half to death, so she stopped it in a voice: "It's almost dawn, tie people to the tree, let's squint first." ”

Hearing Wen Wan's words, everyone scolded and went back to the carriage to take a nap. Stealing things is not the most hateful, the most hateful thing is that they all have weapons in their hands, if it were not for gentle vigilance, I am afraid that they would not know if they were wiped on their necks.

Early the next morning, Wen Wan sipped porridge in her mouth and quietly looked at the gang who were tied to the tree to die. The oil bubbles all over their bodies and the fact that they were tied up all night were already dying, although they closed their eyes and heard the swallowing sound of Wen Wan drinking porridge, their throats still rolled unconsciously, and Wen Wan clapped her hands after drinking the porridge, "Let's go, continue to hurry." ”

Lin Yuan pointed at the gang and looked at her.

"Just tie it up, if there are accomplices to save them, it will be their fate. If not, it's no wonder we're dead. I didn't ask for their lives, and I was already kind. "Such a person who has no bottom line for food is just a pit for other people to live.

Lin Yuan listened to her words and felt that she was a woman. Turning around, he led people to waste their hands and feet before getting into the carriage and said to her: "If you don't break their legs, whether you catch up with us and take revenge, or harm others with your accomplices, it will be a big disaster." ”

If there is any retribution, he bears it! Wen Wan was silent, and she also knew that her heart was soft.

After three months of running along the dirt road, the climate also transitioned from hot summer to autumn equinox. Wen Wan sat in the car and could smell the strange smell of meat from time to time, and she occasionally lifted the curtain to see the unusually ruddy faces of the people cooking soup, but their eyes were empty and numb.

She chuckled in her heart, and a bad premonition came to her mind. The carriage had not gone far when he saw a haggard woman kneeling beside the road, dressed in a coarse white dress, bowing her head and sobbing sadly, with a slender waist and a good figure. In front of him was a corpse covered in a white cloth. There was a dirty strip of cloth next to it, dipped in blood, and it was written that he was a funeral man.

Seeing a carriage passing by, he raised his head and looked at everyone pitifully, tears falling like rain, and his body was full of gloom.

Wen Wan sneered, and whispered to Lin Yuan, who was driving, "Don't look around, speed up!" Come on! ”

Obviously, whoever wants to stop because of sympathy will not only want their possessions, but probably their lives. The strange smell of flesh is proof of that.

The carriage did not stop, but picked up speed. If it was said that at the beginning, everyone in the Gu Mansion did not take her as a woman in their eyes, but now that she is gentle, everyone has to weigh it carefully.

The haggard woman watched the carriage pass in front of her, and not only did she not stop but quickened her pace. I gritted my teeth and cried out hoarsely, "Pity the poor little woman! My wretched husband! The concubine can't stand you! Heaven does not spare people! ”

Gu Qingning was disturbed by this miserable cry, but the housekeeper shook his head vigorously at him next to him, and finally held back his sympathy and took the book out to read it quietly, but the housekeeper saw that the book was clearly upside down.

When Zhen Niang saw her son looking around in the carriage, she couldn't help frowning and pulled her son closer to her arms, "You also think she is pitiful, don't you?" A-Niang tells you that nothing can just look at the surface. You see that the woman's face is ruddy, how can she be hungry? Look at what's in between her fingernails? ”

Hong Wenli took a closer look, and his eyes glared at the boss, "A-Niang, is it blood?"

Zhen Niang nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, it's blood." She has a lawsuit on her back! Therefore, when encountering things, you should be calm and careful, don't panic, your mind is blinded, all lies have loopholes, can you know? ”

Hong Wenli nodded ignorantly, feeling that people's hearts are complicated. Zhenniang is not in a hurry, she hugs her son and pats it, she has time. Although the child was still young, she also tried her best to teach him how to behave in the world and tell him about the various situations in the world. Born in troubled times, even if she is gone one day, she hopes that her son can live well in this world.
