Chapter 21: Escape from the Famine

Qin Miaomiao flattened his mouth, if things were really as Su Mu said, he couldn't do anything, so why did he just let himself go, didn't he go?

Besides, her departure can be regarded as an escape, she has no relatives here except for the Qin family and him, even if she escapes, where can she go?

The more I think about it, the more depressed I become, why don't I dress as a man, at least there is still a possibility of survival in this society. As far as Qin Miaomiao knows, except for the land of fireworks and wind and moon, women will not be hired in any other industry, and to be a maid means to sell yourself as a slave, it is easy to change a good family into a slave, but it is difficult to change back to a good family. Someone needs to redeem himself.

Seeing Qin Miaomiao bowing her head and saying nothing, Su Mu didn't wait for her to answer that he couldn't let her stay anyway, so he opened his mouth to make the decision for her: "I'll pack up your things later, I'll send you home, you and the Qin family will leave together, although your father is greedy, but after all, he is your relative, and he will be better than others after all, and I will give you two silver taels to keep on the road, but don't let your father know, go and clean up." ”

After listening to Su Mu's arrangement, Qin Miaomiao was still grateful in her heart, I am afraid that the Qin family's parents will not think about themselves like this, but they don't want to leave!

didn't answer Su Mu's words, touched a handful of tears and prepared to run away, who knew that when he knelt beside Su Mu just now, the hem of his clothes was stepped on by Su Mu, he got up and was impatient, and his center of gravity was unstable and planted forward, Su Mu was also defenseless, and he was pounced on coldly, and the center of gravity of the two moved back and both fell to the ground.

And Su Mu made a human flesh pad for Qin Miaomiao, Qin Miaomiao knelt in front of him, and his whole body pressed against Su Mu.

Su Mu put his hands behind his back, supporting his body, with a thin anger in his eyes, this girl did it on purpose!

Qin Miaomiao was also stunned, and when she looked up, she was even more flustered when she looked up and saw Su Mu's eyes full of anger, just glanced at Fu and put her head on Su Mu's chest, her hands tightly wrapped around Su Mu's waist, others seemed to think that Qin Miaomiao was coquettish with Su Mu, but the person concerned knew that she was suppressing Su Mu to the death, in case Su Mu really threw herself out when she got angry, and prayed with a pitiful crying voice: "Don't be angry Su Langzhong, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to!" ”

"Get up!" There was a hidden anger in his tone.

Qin Miaomiao raised her head a little, glanced at it timidly, and then lowered her head again, playing a scoundrel and selling pity: "Su Langzhong, can you agree to a request when I get up." ”

Su Mu was so depressed by Qin Miaomiao that he just wanted to get her up quickly, and was extremely impatient: "If you stay, don't say it, you can mention the rest." ”

Looking at Su Mu with a wrinkled face: "Since Su Langzhong won't let him mention it, then hold it all the time!" ”

"Ahem~" Su Mu, who was startled by a cough, turned his head, Qin Miaomiao also looked out of the door, Daddy Qin was staring at the two people sitting on the ground hugging each other with unkind eyes, he was really ashamed, hugging each other in broad daylight!

Su Mu pushed Qin Miaomiao a little flustered, Qin Miaomiao, who came back to her senses, quickly let go of Su Mu and got up from the ground with a grunt.

Seeing the two of them standing up, Father Qin snorted coldly and entered the courtyard: "Pack up your things and go, the Chen family's ox cart is waiting at the entrance of the village?" ”

Qin Miaomiao lowered her head and stood still for a long time, Su Mu knew that she was still resisting to leave, and went into the house to wrap her clothes for Qin Miaomiao and stood at the door with her baggage: "Miao Miao, come here!" ”

This seemed to be the first time he had called his name, Qin Miaomiao pouted, with a look of reluctance, and slowly moved to him. Su Mu glanced at Father Chen, who was standing in the distance, and lowered his body to his ear: "Miao Miao, I will hide the silver in the burden for you, you find a chance to hide it more secretly, work hard all the way, take care of yourself." ”

Thinking that Qin Miaomiao was leaving, Su Mu was reluctant to talk about it, but there was a faint sense of loss in his heart, it was not good to have her by her company these days, nor was it bad, but he just felt that this girl had some karma with him. A person like him who is alone doesn't care if he accompanies him or not, it's too illusory.

Qin Miaomiao bit her lip, nodded slightly, and looked up at Su Mu again, her eyes full of reluctance was obvious: "Su Langzhong, aren't you leaving?" ”

Seeing the reluctance in Qin Miaomiao's eyes, Su Mu's heart trembled, no matter whether she was true or false at this time, her expression at this time affected her mood, avoiding Qin Miaomiao's gaze, and her voice softened: "I can't go, although the prescription can't cure the cholera, but I can still delay the condition and give the villagers some time, maybe there will be a prescription for the treatment of the disease from the imperial court." "The doctor is benevolent, he can't bear to lose so many lives, although he may not be able to develop a prescription, but staying will give the patient some comfort after all.

"Then you wait for me, I'll come back to you!" Qin Miaomiao's expression was solemn.

Su Mu chuckled and didn't answer, walked to Father Qin's side, and waved his hands weakly: "Miao Miao will take care of you." ”

"I'm ugly in front of me, I don't have the money to support her a person who goes out, you can bring her enough expenses along the way, otherwise you will throw her down halfway, don't blame me for being ruthless." Father Qin's triangular eyes were full of greed and calculation.

Hearing this, Su Mu took out a small purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Qin Miaomiao, and his voice returned to cold and alienation: "These silver taels will buy you some food, and it is not in vain that you have followed me for a few days." ”

Without waiting for Qin Miaomiao to reach out to take it, Father Qin snatched the purse, swept it with his hand, and threw it back into Qin Miaomiao's arms with disgust: "Just give it like this, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." ”

Qin Miaomiao followed behind Father Qin step by step, and the reluctance in her eyes was also very obvious, she was reluctant, reluctant to have a stable life just now, and there was also a little reluctance to be reluctant to this dead man, after all, he was the one who crossed over by himself and really missed him.

Su Mu was looking cold at the door, looking at Qin Miaomiao's back as she left, her expression was not wavering, and she suppressed the faint loss in her heart, this girl was also a hurried passerby, and she shouldn't worry too much.

Qin Miaomiao carried her little burden and followed Father Qin into the ox cart.

It turned out that the people in the village were also aware of the seriousness of the plague, and most of the villagers who were not infected chose to leave. Several ox carts lined up one after another, forming a team of more than 50 people.

Qin Miaomiao sat at the back of the ox cart, watching the ox cart slowly move away from the village with some frustration, the three girls and the younger sisters on the cart did not know what escaping the famine, and naturally they did not know the hardships and dangers. They all looked extremely excited, who had never been far away. Along the way, there was a lot of trouble.

Qin's mother may feel a little ashamed of Qin Miaomiao, grabbing Qin Miaomiao and asking long and short questions, Qin's father was annoyed by the chatter on the side and scolded sharply: "Don't be crooked, the girl who goes out at home, the water that is spilled out, what are you doing with your nosy?" Being yelled at by Father Qin, Mother Qin didn't dare to say much for a long time, closed her mouth stupidly, and hugged the little daughter in her arms and stopped making a sound.

Qin Miaomiao had long expected that Father Qin would be like this, and she didn't react too much, leaning on the miscellaneous packages and closing her eyes and saying nothing.

The sun was very strong all the way, the lips of the people who shook were dry, the ox cart walked on the road and could not be avoided, dozens of people were exposed to the scorching sun like this, the first one who couldn't stand it was Qin Ruhua, who complained: "Dad, it's too hot, my face hurts, let's find a shade to rest and then go." ”

The only thing that Daddy Qin can give a good face to be Qin Ruhua may be the only one, but they are now fleeing the famine, and they must hurry at dawn, and they must feel that there are people in the town before dark, otherwise they will encounter robbers and bandits, and I am afraid that these fifty or so people will not be able to live: "Girl, you can bear with it." It's important to hurry, so let's rest when we get to town. ”

Qin Ruhua frowned, muttered a few words in a low voice, glanced at Qin Miaomiao, wanted to sprinkle his anger on her, kicked Qin Miaomiao with his toes, and raised his voice: "Go and find me a few big leaves to shade!" ”

Qin Miaomiao was already in a bad mood, and there was no place to spread the fire, so she bumped into the muzzle of the gun, turned sideways, looked fierce, and said in a blunt tone: "You treat me honestly, and if you bother me again, I will beat you all over the ground!" ”

Qin Ruhua was not frightened by Qin Miaomiao at all, glanced at Father Qin, sat up straight in a bold manner, and said in a mean tone: "Yo, what is the anger of a cousin who has been driven back to her parents' house?" If I had been sad to death, and you had been driven back, you wouldn't feel ashamed at all, what a shameless thing! ”

Qin Ruhua sat up straight and got closer to Qin Miaomiao, just a position that Qin Miaomiao could touch when she raised her hand, Qin Miaomiao has always pursued the principle of trying not to make noise if she can do it, and she raised her hand with enough strength to pump it forward and backward, Qin Ruhua has always been pampered in the Qin family, although the skin can not be broken by blowing, but it can be regarded as delicate, and the cheeks on both sides of Qin Miaomiao's two slaps were immediately swollen, and the slap prints were clearly visible.

I never dreamed that Qin Miaomiao would hit herself, she was stunned at first, and when she came back to her senses, the whole person fell into a state of madness, and she came to Qin Ruhua with her teeth and claws, and Father Qin, who was sitting on the side, also came back to her senses and pulled the two people who were torn together.

As soon as they saw that the two daughters of the Qin family were fighting together, the ox cart also stopped, and the villagers who accompanied them came over one after another.

Father Qin has always loved face, and being laughed at by so many people, he felt that he couldn't hold his face for a long time. Qin Ruhua was naturally reluctant to fight, so he raised his hand and slapped Qin Miaomiao hard.

The strength of a man is already very different from that of a woman, Qin Miaomiao just beat Qin Miaomiao's cheeks red, but Daddy Qin's slap beat Qin Miaomiao to a stumbling ground and almost planted the ox cart.

Qin Miaomiao easily stabilized her figure, and she felt the smell of rust in her mouth, and when she touched the corner of her mouth, blood actually remained.

Full of anger mixed with bitterness, tears swirled in her eyes, but Qin Miaomiao was stunned and didn't blink her eyes, not letting the tears fall.
