Chapter 45: The villagers of Liujia Village enter the city
The sentence "I thought you didn't want us anymore" made Xu Xiaoxiao feel a little in her heart, and she didn't expect that in the hearts of the villagers, she became their last straw.
"No, I was delayed halfway." Xu Xiaoxiao squeezed out a sweet smile and comforted Liu Lizheng's back.
She also thought that it would be better to take Liu Dahua and Liu Qiao'er, Chu Chu and Tie Zhu into the city alone and go north through Anle Town, but along the way, her feelings for the people of Liujia Village have been heating up day by day, Liu Dahua was born in Liujia Village since she was a child, and she will not run away alone in order to survive.
Since she has the ability, she can help, and the rest is left to fate.
"Chu Chu, Iron Pillar." Liu Dahua rushed out of the crowd through the onlookers of the villagers, and she came to Chu Chu and Tie Zhu's side, and a handful of snot and tears were slapped at the buttocks of the two children.
"Why don't you obey? Can't you stay well? ”
"That.... Liu..."Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to explain, but was pulled by the iron pillar.
"I'm sorry, grandma, I won't dare in the future." Tie Zhu stood in front of Xu Xiaoxiao and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Chu Chu also stepped forward to hug Liu Dahua's thigh and coquettishly, "Chu Chu is hungry." ”
One admits mistakes and one coquettishly makes Liu Dahua, who was originally full of anger, soften, she restrained her anger, and hugged Chu Chu with a gentle face, "Okay, you have to listen well in the future, grandma will get you food." ”
Liu Qiao'er was only late at this time, "I'm back." ”
She looked at the two of them in Liu Dahua's arms, and felt a lot more relieved, and originally thought that she would have to go through a lot of explanations, but it seemed that these two guys had completely mastered her mother's temperament.
"Well, it's more troublesome than expected." Xu Xiaoxiao sighed.
Liu Qiao'er chuckled in her heart after hearing this, even Xu Xiaoxiao felt that it was tricky, it seemed that things were completely out of control.
Liu Lizheng summoned Liu Dazhuang, Liu Mengzhou and others to a meeting, and Xu Xiaoxiao told her about meeting Chu Qing and Chu Qing's identity.
"Lord Wang? Is it the legendary King Yan'an? Liu Lizheng shouted, he couldn't believe that he had met the legendary King Yan'an, who loved the people like a son.
"You've heard of him too?"
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know Chu Qing's past deeds, but seeing that Liu Lizheng was greatly disillusioned when he heard the three words of King Yan'an, it seems that Chu Qing's past has a certain weight in the hearts of the people.
"Of course, he is the third son of the emperor, and he is stationed at the border pass all the year round, and the border pass was lost this time because King Yan'an was transferred out of the army and returned to the dynasty, I heard that a lot of his territories have been exploited, of which Anle Town is one of them."
Liu Lizheng knocked on the cigarette pouch and sighed helplessly, if King Yan'an continued to guard the border pass, they would not be displaced.
"That must be the emperor who is afraid that King Yan'an will support his own troops." After listening to this, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly understood why Chu Qing had a helpless look at that time, it turned out that it was not that he didn't want to do something, but that he couldn't do it.
"Shhhh Liu Mengzhou looked left and right to stop Xu Xiaoxiao from wanting to continue.
"We can't help the intrigue between the royal families, and now we are still discussing how to solve the smallpox matter." Liu Dazhuang was silent for a long time before he spoke, in his heart, it was a big deal for Liujiacun to leave Anle Town smoothly, and other things had nothing to do with him.
"What needs to be done now is to let women who know how to needlework and men who are physically fit come into the village with me." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement with Liu Dazhuang's statement.
"But there are many dangers ahead, so I'm afraid." Liu Qiao'er stayed in the camp for a day and worked with the women, and she understood their thoughts to some extent, but she was afraid that the women would not risk their lives to leave.
"If we don't let the people of Liujia Village participate in it, and wait for the plague to pass, I'm afraid we won't find any excuse to continue north through Anle Town." Xu Xiaoxiao said the worries and plans in her heart, she wanted everyone to understand that she was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
"Yes, the novel is right." Liu Lizheng spat out a puff of white smoke and nodded in approval.
"Then draw lots to decide." Liu Qiaoer had a flash of inspiration and made a suggestion.
"Well, that's fair." Xu Xiaoxiao agreed.
Just do it, Liu Dazhuang brought pen and ink, and Liu Lizheng personally wrote the code words of winning the bid on rice paper, and those who drew "go" went to Anle Town, while those who drew white paper stayed in the camp to take care of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Liu Mengzhou began to gather the villagers and announced the plan and idea of going to Anle Town to the villagers, and sure enough, there were doubts in the crowd.
"Mengzhou, aren't you letting us die?"
"That's it, the situation ahead is unclear now, and it's at least safe for us to stay here."
"That's it, I'm not going anyway."
"That's right, we'll stay where we are."
Xu Xiaoxiao had already thought that such a situation would occur, human nature is like this, no one is willing to sacrifice themselves to fulfill others, and people are selfish.
"I'll go." Hoarse voices came from the crowd.
Xu Xiaoxiao followed the voice and saw the woman with a pale face being helped out of the crowd.
Aunt Zhao?
"You?" There was a suspicious voice in the crowd.
"Yes, I made everyone suffer because of my selfishness before, and now I can't live long, so let me do the last thing for Liujiacun before I die."
Aunt Zhao finished her words with difficulty, because she was seriously injured before, her internal organs were damaged, and her body was emaciated day after day, from the original strong person to the skinny appearance now.
"This ....." Liu Mengzhou didn't know how to answer, after all, the current Aunt Zhao had a breath in her body, and she didn't know if she could get to Anle Town.
"Let the little girl think of a way to continue my body for a few days, and when things are done, I can leave with peace of mind." Aunt Zhao saw Liu Mengzhou's doubts and set her eyes on Xu Xiaoxiao.
In her eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao is omnipotent, has superb medical skills, and solves problems for Liu Lizheng all the way, so it is not difficult for her to live for a few days.
"Little girl, I know that you are a little cheeky now, but I still hope that you can think about it and fulfill my mother's wish." Lin Cui, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but open his mouth.
"I'll give it a try." Xu Xiaoxiao's ears have always been soft, and he was confused by this request.
Even if Aunt Zhao took the initiative to stand up, she still didn't make the villagers realize, they still chattered and shirked and were unwilling to draw lots, seeing that the whole thing was in a dead end, at this time Liu Lizheng stood up.
"Okay, since everyone doesn't want to go, let's stay where we are and wait for death, the plague is spreading faster and faster, and when the food is eaten, what should you do?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the plague recedes, who will give us priority clearance? With so many refugees outside the city, why should our Liujia Village get past them first? ”
