Chapter 356: The Golden Cicada Escapes from Its Shell (6)

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Xiao Qiyi and his party did not go to say hello to that Xiao Li and left, and yesterday Xiao Li also said that he would leave after finishing this matter, so they didn't have to say hello.

The group of them left early, for fear that something might happen, and when they got up in the morning, they had not yet seen anyone from the village come out of the house.

Xiao Qi looked at the village lightly, "We're about to leave here, I don't know what the road ahead will look like?" ”

"Seventh Miss Jiren has her own natural appearance, and there will definitely be no accidents."

"Did Uncle Xiang Cai ever think about what he was going to do after sending me to Huaihuang Mansion?"

Xiang Cai glanced at Xiao Qi in surprise, "Of course there is something I want to do, but isn't this kind of thing useless if I say it?" I still won't say it. ”

Although it's weird, like Xiao Li said? There are indeed many more refugees who want to return to their hometowns on this road.

A few of them intervened and inquired for a while, only to know that these people were going to return to their hometowns collectively, and the world was now full of gunsmoke, and God knew what obstacles they would have on the way back to their hometowns.

So they stayed in the capital for a day, and the strength of the people was great, and the number of people in the village was enough, so they returned to their hometowns, and there was a response on the way.

According to this man, there are still a large number of people behind who have not left.

The rest of those who did not leave had fled from farther afield, which was no longer the sphere of influence of Chengguo.

They have no hometown, so they can only stay in the capital, as for how they arrange, His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to have issued an order, so they did not leave, it is better to die in the homeland than to die.

Xiao Qi's group of people could only sigh when they heard their introduction, and now they are also living a precarious life, so naturally they can't help those people.

Although there was no devastation along the way, the people's expressions and the desolation of winter. It makes people feel full of gloom.

These men had no extra rations, nor did they have the tents they used to march on the march, and they were destined to go wherever they went.

Hungry and cold, many people retreated halfway, and after a few people complained, a few people compared before and after, and came to the conclusion that it was a difficult trip home.

The refugees fled from their hometowns, and after ups and downs and stumbles along the way, they have long lost more than half of their passion for returning to their hometowns.

"Hey, I knew that we didn't have rations, and we had to travel a long way back to our hometown, so we might as well stay in the capital like those people and not leave, although the government also manages three meals a day, so we still have our lives alive."

Hearing the young people say such frustrating words, some old fellows did not complain, came out on crutches, pointed at their noses and scolded loudly: "Return to the roots, fall to the roots, you boys know what it means to return to the roots?" ”

"The ancestors settled there, we just left, how can we be worthy of the ancestors."

"There are several ancestors in your family who are buried in our hometown, if you stay here, you can only pay filial piety to your ancestors in the future."

"Grandpa! We're going to die now, so what's the deal with those ancestors who have been buried in the earth. ”

"It's grandpa, our old Li family is a single lineage, and now it is counting on me in my lifetime, but I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of inheriting our Li family?"

Even before they left Gyeonggi, the refugees began to have discordant voices within themselves.

"Besides, the doll is still young, why did you go back and suffer that sin? Our land has been annexed by the landlord, and even when he grows up, he will still be a slave. ”

The opposition is only divided into two factions, one is mainly young people, these people are from their hometown, and they have no land in their hands, and the situation in their hometown is still undecided.

After coming to the capital, there is a Guan Guan's family to raise, looking at the official attitude, in case the court can't stand it in the future, so many people give them fields outside, then they will have to turn over.

The rest were the old people, as well as the local landlords.

The reason why they want to go back is also very simple, the old man wants to return to his roots, and the landlord wants to go back and continue to manage the land in his hands.

These landlords are counting on the land in their hands to live, and now they have left their homeland and have no land in their hands, and they are no different from these people.

Now it is no longer suitable for walking in the evening, and it happens that there are some temporary wooden houses built by some merchants in the vicinity.

Dozens of people crowded into one room, the men went out to see what game to look for, and the women worked inside the house to make firewood and take care of the children and the elderly.

At this time, the previous noise was put behind them, but since there were such signs, it was necessary to continue to preach with those old men when they returned.

At this time, the most voiceless to identify which local squires and landlords.

These people can usually bully men and women in their hometowns and bring disaster to their hometowns, but at this time, it is better to talk less.

After all, if you annoy these people, leaving them behind is the most merciful thing to do, and if you really annoy the other party, throwing them into the wilderness is not a good solution.

It didn't take long for the young men to come back dejected, and they didn't carry any food in their hands.

"These people, what is the rebellion of the great winter? We had no food in our hands, and there were no animals to catch outside in the middle of winter. ”

An old man suddenly said to the group of young people, "You young people, why don't you know something?" ”

This old man was the one who had a heated discussion with this group of people before, and Xiao Qi thought that his prestige among these people was very high.

A young man listened to his tone and said very dissatisfiedly: "If you have the ability to find food yourself, you have to let us young people find it, alas." ”

The young man's reply made the old man lift his cane again and point at him, "You... You..."

A middle-aged man walked out, pulled the young man behind him, and said: "Ancestor, don't be angry, we are not out there without nothing, we have found that there are many wild beasts on the roadside of this mountain, and we have already prepared a trap, we can only do this today, and we will definitely have a harvest tomorrow." ”

"This trap doesn't mean that wild creatures will enter the trap by themselves today, and in the past, when hunting, it was not necessary to wait for ten days and half a month for the prey to take the bait by itself."

Although Xiao Qi is walking with them, he is now sitting on both sides with them. Xiao Qi didn't want to go over and bother them, and they didn't want to come over and talk to Xiao Qi.

It's just that looking at the food in the community, those people showed different looks, some were envious and jealous, some were calm, and some had an evil look in their eyes.

Among them, a few middle-aged people looked at Xiao Qi's side with food, and their eyes showed embarrassment and seemed to be a little hesitant.

Xiao Qi didn't mind sharing these foods with them, of course, this was also to ask Mo Yan for their thoughts,

Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, hunting may be a difficult thing for the children of this peasant family, but for Xiao Qi's side, it is easy.

Except for the old monk Nailing Palace, there are no vegetarians in Xiao Qi's group, and it is not a big deal to distribute some food to these refugees.

As long as the other side speaks, Xiao Qi can divide some of the dry food in his hand with them, but these people on the other side would rather starve than hesitate to ask for help.

After a while, some of the children next to Xiaoxi's Joan began to cry, and then the man's loud shout, followed by the woman's first sob.

Stingy looked at a few people around him helplessly, added a pot on the opposite side, and lit a fire, but in the middle of the pass, there was only boiling water.

"Xiao Qi, if you want to save people, take these dry foods."

The hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes are sinister, but there are also good people in the world.

These fleeing people and Xiao Qi have been going all the way for so long. None of them didn't make it difficult for them. In short, when I watched Xiao Qi and a group of them eating, they also showed a look of envy.

As for other malicious eyes, it is normal for people to do so, as long as they don't do anything, it can be shown that these people still have their own bottom line.

Xiao Qi nodded and looked at Xiang Cai, and Xiang Cai, who knew about it, asked his subordinates to take out a burden.

"Although there is not much dry food in this bag, it is all compressed products, let them throw it into the pot, so that they can spend these days."

These compressed products are invented by the ancestors of the Zhang family and the Ying family, and by chance, they compacted and dried the pasta, and found that although this thing is a little heavier, it is more durable and easy to store than ordinary food.

Xiao Qi took the food and walked in front of a child's mother.

"Here's some food, I'll show you how to make it, don't let your child go hungry."

The woman looked at Xiao Qi in astonishment, she didn't dare to pick it up with her hands, she could only look at her husband with an innocent face.

"Why are you still stunned, don't thank your benefactor!"

The man Qiao came up with the woman's idea, and hurriedly pulled the woman and the daughter hiding in the woman's arms to kneel on the ground, and gave Xiao Qi a big salute.

"You're welcome, I'll teach you how to use this."

"Benefactor! I used to be a soldier in the army, and I used to see this thing, and I know how to use it. ”

"Oh? In that case, then I won't interject. ”

Since this man can use this thing, of course Xiao Qi doesn't need to teach him here, nodding, the burden was thrown into the hands of the man, and she herself retreated to the team of her own group, roasted the fire, and began to do her own thing.

When Xiao Qi fled from Zhang's house, he only took the magic book that Zhang Biao left for him.

and left Zhang Li a letter in his room, which only Zhang Li could understand.
