032 Total solar eclipse
So, the three families gathered together, sat around the shack, and looked at the Wang family.
Wang pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he said firmly: "Go, there is no one left here, there is a place to keep people!" ”
Xu Da glanced at the triumphant scribes under the city gate, and thought of the ugly faces of these people who had not believed their words in the past two days, reversed their word, and repeatedly jumped sideways, and nodded approvingly.
Wang Dayou firmly followed Brother Xu, and he didn't discuss it with the Tong family, he made a decision directly, and he would go wherever the Xu family went.
Wang Dahai was a little hesitant, but his flat wallet did not allow him to hesitate. He didn't have enough money to take his son into the city with him, so he could only choose to go with everyone.
Wang picked up two taro and handed them to Wang Dahai and Wang Dayou, "Then it's decided, there should be many farms around here, and it's better to buy grain with money than to be exploited here." ”
The two of them didn't understand the meaning of the word exploitation, but they also knew that if they were so obedient and looted by these officers and soldiers, even if they entered the city, life would not get better.
The two of them ate taro silently, and once again thanked the Xu family for their benevolence and righteousness, if there was no taro from the Xu family this way, they would have starved to death.
Xu Dapao pulled the taro by the fire, and saw that the gang of bastards who were searching for refugees had started a new round of searching, and his eyes flashed, and he thought about it.
"I'll go and say a few words to them, lady, and give me another taro." Xu Da stretched out his hand to the Wang family, and his dark face was full of calculations.
Wang glanced at him speechlessly, "Don't give me all these moths." He handed over a taro.
"No, no, no." Xu Da took the taro and walked away confidently.
Wang saw with his own eyes that the gang was frightened by Xu Da's initiative to approach, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, ready to watch a good show.
I don't know what Xu Da said, so the two taros brought the gang of people to their side, "conspired loudly", and encouraged these people to go together.
More than a dozen people were muttering, and a group of people in civilian clothes walked out of the city, startling Xu Da, thinking that the official was coming to arrest him, a thief who "bewitched the public".
As a result, the gang went straight out of the city, not knowing where they went.
But soon, I saw a group of bandit-like people rushing from the other side of the river with knives, and killed them in front of the officers and soldiers.
When Xu Da saw it, his intuition was not good, so he hurriedly returned to his own team, and ran out of the city with the children, and the shack was too late to be cleaned up.
This is bright in and out, even a fool can see it.
Where are the bandits? It's just that the officers and soldiers directed and acted on their own!
Human nature is so ugly that even the refugees who have fled are not spared!
Xu Yue's family ran as fast as they could, hid on the ridge on the other side of the river, and watched these officers and soldiers disguised as bandits rip off the refugees' clothes, touch them from the inside out, and leave after getting the money.
If nothing is found, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out!
In this way, I am afraid that it will not only increase the revenue of the government treasury, but also solve the problem of the accumulation of refugees.
And the ones who are behind the blame are the rogue bandits, and there is not a trace of stain on the officers and soldiers.
Good strategy!
What an irony!
The family of five was dumbfounded, hugged together, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
As the sun set, the bandits retreated into the mountains and returned with a full load.
And under the city gates, there were corpses and scattered clothes and shoes everywhere.
The officers and soldiers came out without hurrying out at this time, and the scribe sang in a mournful voice:
"I told you to enter the city earlier, but you didn't enter, now it's okay, it's cheap for the bandits!"
After saying that, he ordered some people to move the body to the mass grave and turned to leave.
The sky darkened, and countless people wept bitterly.
The people who had been hiding early appeared one after another, carefully looking for what they had left behind.
Xu Da met those bastards again, but he didn't expect them to be alive.
Face to face, the bastards who were still a little hesitant before couldn't wait to agree to Xu Da's previous idea at this moment and prepared to go together.
Xu Da told them a few more words, and then the gang began to move among the refugees.
At this time, they only thought that their team was about to usher in a powerful leader, but they didn't know that in Xu Da's heart, they were all cannon fodder.
But the sad thing is that the bedding of the shack is gone, and the only remaining taro is gone, and the back basket and the roe deer skin water bag inside disappeared without a trace!
Xu Da was desperate, Wang was very sad, and the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue, you look at me, I look at you, and I almost cried.
It's so hard, it's really hard!
......
The next day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light, Xu Yue's family was about to run away, followed by hundreds of people, all of whom were her father who relied on two taro flickers to be cannon fodder to improve the success rate of his own escape.
I thought that so many people were going together, and these unconscionable officials were just tired of them refugees, and they shouldn't do anything more.
Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers had already noticed them, and as soon as the group left, the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded and caught up.
The sound of the horse's hooves "booming and booming" made everyone's hearts tremble, and they were still walking leisurely, but at this time they directly used their strength to eat milk and ran wildly.
Xu Da led hundreds of people to run wildly in front, and dozens of officers and soldiers rode horses to chase after him, seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, a team of men and horses suddenly rushed down from the hillside in front of him, blocking Xu Da's way.
It was the gang of "bandits" who hid in the mountains yesterday!
When the leader saw Xu Da, he sneered, raised the white dangling knife and slashed at the top of his head.
Xu Yue, who was followed by her father on her brother's back, was so shocked that she gasped when she saw this action, and secretly said that she was going to finish.
But at this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly darkened.
The leader of the knife was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and saw a black dot in the middle of the sun, which became wider and bigger, directly swallowing the entire sun, and the world in front of him was completely plunged into darkness.
It's a total solar eclipse. Xu Yue said in her heart.
But in the eyes of the ancients, a solar eclipse was an unlucky sign, a sign of impending calamity, a warning that Heaven was about to punish the world!
The knife in the officer's hand clattered down, and the unknown mysterious power made them feel instinctive fear.
Everyone knelt down in fear, trembling all over, their faces turned pale, and they fell directly to the ground, begging God for forgiveness.
When Xu Yue's family came back to their senses, only their family was still standing, and the people next to them knelt on the ground.
A family of five glanced at each other, not to run at this time, but when!
When everyone was submissive, a family of five crossed the crowd with their waists and quickly drove away.
"Daddy!" The eldest lady of the Wang family noticed the movement of Xu Yue's family, and anxiously tugged at the corner of Wang Dayou's clothes.
The child is still young and doesn't know much about what fear is, she only knows that these officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground are more terrifying than heavenly punishment.
So when her father and mother were trembling and completely unable to think because of fear, she immediately discovered the unusual movements of Xu Yue's family.
Wang Dayou was dragged by his daughter, came back to his senses a little, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the five members of the Xu family had slipped out far away!
Wang Dayou grabbed his wife, chose between heavenly punishment and being killed, and quickly made a decision.
The couple took the child and moved to the side with their trembling legs and stomachs.
When passing by Wang Dahai's father and son, Wang Dayou dragged him hard, but I don't know if the father and son were stupid by the punishment of heaven, and they were shocked like caged birds by him, and they trembled even more.
Wang Dayi gritted his teeth, and couldn't take care of him, so he hurriedly led his wife and children to chase in the direction of the Xu family......
