Chapter 258: Don't Suffer Retribution
"Bring it all."
"Let's go."
With Feng Yongsheng's shout, the team slowly moved forward.
The carriage was ahead of the way, and the ox cart was behind.
The men and the women of great strength carried the rice grain, the girls and the children also carried the baskets on their backs, and the old men led the children and marched mightily to the north.
Not long after the team walked out, Xu Jingluo made an excuse and went back again, and collected all the unfinished grain from every household into the space warehouse.
After that, he caught up with the team, and walked at the end with Uncle Ye and others.
Looking at the sea and the hut farther and farther away, a thick bitterness welled up in everyone's hearts.
The wasteland that has been reclaimed, the crops that have been cultivated, and the homes that have been built brick by brick are about to be left behind.
"Don't be upset, everyone." Feng Zhuang said with relief, "We have not made much money in the past two years, as long as we are not afraid of hardship in the future, where can we settle down and find a good way to live?" ”
When everyone heard this, their mood was not so heavy, and they echoed it.
"Master Feng is right, it's very good that slaves like us can live like this."
"Yes, there is food and drink, and there is no suffering."
"Not only did they not endure hardships, but the children also followed Luo Yatou to practice martial arts and study with Mr. Meng, and they have grown a lot of skills."
"Well, after we leave here, we don't know where we're going."
In the end, I didn't know which one said it, and they all fell silent.
The country is ruined, the family is in a foreign land, I really don't know where to go if I leave here.
In case Wei Xuhan refuses to let them go, maybe he will search for them everywhere, and if they don't have identity documents, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
"If anyone has relatives and friends in Beiliang, go to the jungle and go to it." Master Feng was silent for a while before speaking.
No one answered, the hometown is thousands of miles away from Beiliang, who will have relatives and friends here?
"My mother's family is doing business in Jeju Fucheng, North Liang, let's see if we can let everyone go together." Zhang thought for a moment and replied.
She has four brothers, the only daughter in the family, and her parents raised her like treasures.
Back then, he was also coaxed by Xu Wanjun to be fascinated, and he did not hesitate to break with his parents and brothers.
Later, when her family came to Beiliang, she wrote to her a lot, but she was blocked by Xu Wanjun and did not reply, and gradually cut off contact with her mother's family.
The people in the village also knew about this matter, and they all said to Zhang: "Mrs. Zhang, when you get out of the jungle, you will take the children to your mother's house, and we won't go, there are too many people." ”
"Yes, everyone will be fine, and there is still silver on them."
"Did Luo Yatou hear that? Walk out of the jungle and don't have to worry about us. ”
Everyone is actually very reluctant, all the way to live and die with the same family, the thought of having to share happiness is as painful as tearing, very uncomfortable.
But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid that not only will you be separated from Luo Yatou and her family, but you will probably have to be scattered and separate from each other when you get out of the jungle.
After all, there are so many people that attract people's attention, if they are caught by Wei Xuhan, they will die.
Xu Jingluo, who had been silent, spoke in a deep voice.
"I heard from the displaced people who fled from Beiliang that there was chaos outside, let's go out of the jungle to see the situation and then make a decision."
Master Feng Zhuang answered, "Luo Yatou is right, no one knows what it's like outside, go out and have a look." ”
After saying that, everyone began to hurry.
After dawn, the group arrived at Ningjia Town.
When the townsfolk saw their posture, they hurriedly gathered around to inquire about the situation.
"Doctor Wang, are you leaving Double Dragon City? Is something big going on? ”
But anyone who is a person from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, there is no one whose heart has not been hanging in the past two years, for fear that one day a holy decree will come down, and they will all be executed here.
Slaves of the dead country, life and death all depend on the mood of others.
Seeing Xu Jingluo and their families dragging their families, they all felt bad.
Xu Jingluo didn't hide it either, and told them directly.
"The second prince of Northern Liang has ascended the throne, I got news that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, detained Zhu Changling and all the officers and soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't plan to let us go at all, let's run away."
No one dares to disbelieve her words, the two princes of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty have a relationship with her, which is something that everyone knows.
So everyone thanked them and ran home in a panic.
Within half a day, the news spread throughout Shuanglong City, and after a while, the road was crowded with fleeing people.
Everyone wore hats and carried burdens, leading the whole family, looking confused and uneasy.
There are also people who stay, and it is impossible for those Beiliang people who fled to Shuanglong City to escape the war and follow them.
They are also very happy in their hearts, once these slaves of the Southern Zhou Dynasty leave, won't all the land here belong to them?
The fields and mountains are full of crops waiting for a good harvest, and they are rich!
And no one hindered them, and they went away to the fields and houses that had no owner.
In the evening, Xu Jingluo and others arrived at Shuanglong City.
The people in the city were almost gone, and the news spread quickly, and they fled from the city early.
Almost all the shops were looted and their contents were removed.
Xu Jingluo shook his head helplessly.
Most of the officials who live in the city are Southern Zhou officials, and officials of this quality can keep a country? Scold~~
"I really shouldn't have told them the news, like robbers." Xu Jingan looked angry.
Nothing else, Xu Jingluo felt sorry for her Western medicines, many of which were very expensive.
But if they dare to eat indiscriminately, they can also kill people, and they must not suffer retribution.
There was nothing to pack up in the house, and as soon as the clothes and bedding were put into the space, Xu Jingluo went in and came out.
After coming out, I found that nearly 100 people, including the Meng family, the Wu family, and the Jiang family, were all gathered on the street in front of them, waiting for them.
In the entire Shuanglong City, the rest is estimated to be theirs.
Xu Jingling held her pregnant belly and Meng Fei, Aunt Meng and others hurriedly greeted her.
"Sister, we are all waiting for you, hurry up and get out of the city."
"The pig farm was also looted, and I heard that the people of Xiayang Village tried to stop it, and they injured several people."
"They are waiting outside the city, and everyone goes into the jungle together, and the more people there are, the safer they are."
Xu Jingluo originally wanted to deal with these belongings, but there was no need for this, what she didn't expect was that the villagers of Xiayang Village were righteous, and it was not bad to walk together.
"Then let's go, don't delay." Xu Jingluo waved his hand at the team in front of him, and the team slowly moved.
No one is in a good mood, they have paid blood and sweat here, built thousands of miles of barren forests into a decent city, but now they are forced to leave here, all of them are aggrieved.
But what can be done? If the country does not exist, people are like lost dogs, it would be good to survive, but can they still suffer from gains and losses?
After leaving the city, I saw that the villagers of Xiayang Village were waiting there and greeted Xu Jingluo one after another.
After that, the leaders of the three groups of people gathered together to arrange the matter of entering the jungle, and before they could discuss it properly, they saw a group of people running in a panic on the west pier.
"Quick, everyone, let's go into the jungle, and several big boats will come down from the river, looking like Beiliang soldiers."
Hearing the shouts, the crowd was in chaos, and many people threw their burdens off their shoulders and burrowed into the jungle like frightened rabbits.
Xu Jingluo and the three groups of people are still calm, what's the use of losing things and escaping into the jungle? Isn't food a dead end?
Besides, I've seen the big ship, and it's too late to escape.
"What should I do?" The villagers of Xiayang Village approached them in panic, "Is there any way?" Do you want to go into the jungle? ”
"It's too late to get into the jungle." Uncle Wu said loudly, "Quick, everyone retreats to the city, and it is possible to survive by guarding the city gate." ”
As soon as these words fell, the people ran into the city, and soon everyone retreated into the city, and the gates were slammed shut.
After that, Uncle Wu singled out all the men in the city and guarded the city gate with various weapons such as firewood knives.
"This Northern Liang army is coming too fast!" Xu Jingluo's face was a little incredulous, he only got the news last night, this is the time, have you grown wings?
"Did you see that? Is it indeed the Northern Liang soldiers? "Master Feng Zhuang is also full of suspicion.
The men who ran back from the dock answered, "I don't see it clearly, but who else will come besides the Beiliang soldiers?" ”
