Chapter 171: I Saw Hope

Changge grabbed a handful of ash on the ground and smeared it on his face, only to see that the man here was plotting against the woman in broad daylight, Changge wiped his face off just in case. Carrying Xingsheng to this village-like place.

Anyway, let's find a place to stay first......

There were many dilapidated and empty houses here, all of which looked similar, and Changge entered one at random, but was so frightened that he screamed out.

I saw three decomposing corpses in the house, which looked like a family of three, and I don't know if they died of illness or starvation.

Changge took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down

What the hell is this place?

Changge took Xingsheng to find an empty house again, fortunately there was no body in this house, but this house was really dilapidated, it was built with yellow mud, the wooden door was so dilapidated that it seemed to be broken with a little force, and the house was full of dust, and I don't know how long no one had lived in it.

Fortunately, there are still many dilapidated pots and pans, and there is a well in the yard, Changge simply cleaned up the house, and pulled out the weeds in the yard.

The people here are so poor that they can't find anything to eat.

Changge hugged Xingsheng, thinking of the corpse of the previous family of three, did he have to starve to death here?

Xingsheng Xu was also hungry and began to cry, and after Changge fed him, he fell asleep and gently put it on the kang, and he went out to understand the situation.

After asking someone, I found out that these people were all disaster victims, and the court didn't care about them, but trapped them here to fend for themselves.

Don't expect to go out, but when Changge came, he had enough silver tickets with him, and if he could buy the officers and soldiers guarding to help bring things in, he might be able to survive.

However, Changge did not act rashly, who knows what kind of goods these officers and soldiers are, what if they take her money and don't do anything for her.

After Changge returned home with a heavy heart, he was surprised to find that the door was open, Changge was startled, and rushed to the house, and saw a thin old man raising the kitchen knife in his hand at Xingsheng on the kang.

Changge's scalp exploded, and he immediately rushed up and pushed the old man away, and the old man was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and he staggered twice and fell to the ground.

Changge picked up Xingsheng and looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you?!" What are you going to do to my son!! ”

"Ahem, what to do? Ate him, of course. ”

Changge was frightened when he heard this, he was disgusted and afraid, if he was one step late, he would be eaten by this madman!

"Are you crazy?!! Even children eat it!! ”

"Huh. As long as you can live, there is nothing you can't eat! Some people even eat their own children!! I don't think you will live long, let's divide this child equally......"

As he spoke, the old man's dim old eyes had a look at food, and his thin hand stretched out to Xingsheng, Changge was startled, and pushed the old man hard: "Fuck your uncle!" ”

She didn't use much strength, the old man couldn't do it, and the whole person was like a broken candle swaying in the wind, trembling for a while, and then swallowed.

Changge's heart was beating for a while, and she hugged Xingsheng tightly, she had only been away for a while, this kind of thing happened, how should she and Xingsheng live safely here?

……

In the afternoon, Changge came to the officers and soldiers guarding with Xingsheng in his arms, and after being stopped, he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Master Jun, my child and I are about to starve to death, let's eat." ”

After Changge finished speaking, she silently looked at the expressions of these people, and as she expected, the expressions of these people were the same with disdain and disdain.

"Where did you come from, mother-in-law, get out! What does it have to do with Lao Tzu that you starved to death? ”

Changge didn't give up, and continued to plead: "My son and I are not locals, we were deceived here, and we don't ask to go out, so the military master will pity us and eat it!" ”

"It's all telling you to get out!"

The man gave Changge a kick very impatiently, and Changge fell to the ground, which is, a pair of hands helped her up and said, "I have something to eat." ”

It was a young officer and soldier, Changge was stunned, it seemed that there were still good people among these soldiers, and the people on the side couldn't help but say helplessly: "Mosquito, you are nosy again!" Anyway, they're going to starve to death sooner or later, and you're always going to be a bad person. ”

"Mosquito" smiled: "Don't be kind and small, I can help, we don't think this meal is nothing, it's a life-saving thing for them." ”

The man didn't bother to argue with him, and waved his big hand and said, "Whatever you want." ”

The soldier returned to his residence, took two buns and a bowl of pickles, handed them to Changge, and said, "I'm just an ordinary soldier, that's all I eat, don't dislike it." ”

After Changge thanked him, he devoured it, and he was hungry and anxious to eat everything, and after Changge cushioned his stomach, he looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and then said to this person: "Master Jun, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Tell me about it."

Changge took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, and the man couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it: "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"I said that I was deceived, I know that you have the emperor's order, and you can't let me go, do you think you can help me bring something in from outside? The hundred taels of silver will give you twenty taels as a thank-you gift. ”

The officer and soldier said: "It's not difficult, what do you want to bring?" ”

As soon as Changge said to him, the officers and soldiers were stunned and said, "So many? ”

"Are you having trouble?"

The young officer and soldier smiled, "A little, for the sake of your twenty taels of silver, I'll try it." ”

"Thank you, Master Jun."

The luckiest thing is to meet someone who is willing to help in a difficult situation, even if it is a gesture, Changge has it in mind.

"By the way, Master Jun, what's your name, just heard them call you, mosquito?"

"My name is Xiao Wen, and they all call me Little Mosquito."

……

The little mosquito really helps Changge, and he is very lazy, because the officers and soldiers guarding the city can come and go at will, and these people look here every day, and the biggest task is only to prevent the riots of the victims.

On the second day, the little mosquito used a carriage to buy what Changge wanted, a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, more than a dozen catties of vegetable meat, some medicinal herbs, vegetable seeds, and two large iron pots.

Changge knows that if he falls into such an environment, it is impossible to be alone, and things like the old man who wants to eat Xingsheng may happen again, if he wants to live safely with Xingsheng, he must find a way to change the environment here, no matter how bad it is, he must also make these people grateful and trust himself, so as to ensure peace.

Changge set up a soup kitchen shed with his own strength, set up two big iron pots, boiled porridge and fried vegetables in one mouth, and said to these refugees, everyone can get a bowl of porridge, half a bowl of vegetables and a steamed bun, Changge saw a glimmer of hope in the eyes of those people.

These things alone are no less than life-savers for people who are dying of starvation or have not eaten a few meals.

Those people will say thank you to Changge when they receive food, Changge is busy alone, tired and sweaty, but he still has a smiling face.

The bag of rice and noodles quickly went down, but fortunately, Changge successfully won the favor of these people, and after they were full, they all gathered around Changge to thank him, and Changge accepted it safely.

Changge said: "You have been trapped here, haven't you thought about resisting? ”

"Why haven't we thought about it, but how can we resist? Those are soldiers, and any one of them can kill us. ”

"It's not that you have to fight with the officers and soldiers, you haven't thought about changing the status quo?"

"How to change?"

Changge said, "Do you know how to farm?" ”

"Of course it will, we all rely on farming to eat, but there have been frequent droughts recently, and there is no harvest in the field, otherwise we wouldn't be like this!!"

Changge said: "In the drought, there is no water at all?" ”

"Yes, but it's just ......"

"If there is, can't you pick it with a bucket? Do you have to wait for it to rain?! ”

“……”

Everyone was silent for a long time before they said: "Such a big field, and it's not a small vegetable garden, don't you get tired of carrying water and watering it?" ”

"Is it important to be alive or not to be tired?!" Changge said: "I have grain seeds and vegetable seeds here, which of you will farm with me, and you will grow and eat in the future, and everyone will share it equally!" ”

When those people heard this, they saw hope: "Are you serious? ”

"Of course, we are all trapped here now, and it is unlikely that we will be able to wait for the imperial court to save us, we can rely on ourselves!"

Those people were somewhat encouraged by the long song, and they all said: "We are willing to try it together, but this grain is still growing early, so why don't we starve to death before that." ”

Changge still has a lot of silver, and Changge secretly summed it up and said: "In the future, I will give you porridge every day, but I don't give much, I can only ensure that you can survive!" If any of you is sick, I will heal you. ”

When those people heard this, they sent Changge to kneel down and kowtow, Changge knew that his image in the eyes of these people should already be good, and they should not be beating themselves and Xingsheng's ideas.

After that day, under the leadership of Changge, these originally lifeless victims suddenly came back to life and began to regain their one-third of an acre of land, and Changge still gave them porridge every day.

Changge didn't feel how kind she was, helping them was also helping herself, this kind of full and busy days would make her have no time to think about Lin Yanchen.

The officers and soldiers guarding not far away all looked at this scene with some disbelief: "This, are these still those half-dead people, how can they come back to life with the dead one by one." Just because of that woman's porridge and side dishes? ”

Xiao Wen, the little mosquito, said: "The ants are still stealing life, not to mention these big living people, what makes them reinvigorate is not the food, but they see hope." ”

Xiao Wen said, and his eyes fell on Changge, who was diagnosing people's pulses: "She's really an unusual woman!" ”
