Chapter 201: I Met the Government Again
On this day, they had been walking on the road well, but they heard what seemed to be a voice in front of them from a long distance.
That's not good news for them. After all, this is on the way to escape the famine, how can there be a noisy sound in front of the good end?
Could it be that there is another team ahead?
Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Liang Qing, I seem to hear something." At this time, Mrs. Ji opened the curtain, and her expression was obviously a little worried.
"Looks like there should be someone in front of us." Li Jiang's eyes narrowed, and his expression was a little solemn.
He turned to his brothers and explained:
"The speed of the ox cart is slower, don't rush over, let's take a closer look."
In this way, the people of the Ji family were vigilant in their hearts, and the speed of the ox cart slowly slowed down.
It's also unfortunate, although sometimes they feel that there is a sound, but their ox cart is very slow, and they don't see anyone in front of them.
I'm afraid that the crowd in front of me is also moving forward at a similar speed.
The Ji family breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts for the time being.
Unfortunately, at night they walked into the surrounding road, which was basically a bamboo forest.
Mrs. Ji, who originally wanted to stop and rest in advance, saw that there was a bamboo forest around her, and she was worried about any danger.
This kind of bamboo forest makes people uncomfortable at first sight, not to mention that there are snakes now, and it is not good if you are accidentally bitten by a snake.
She still wanted to find a location like last night, and the surrounding area was as empty as possible to be safe.
Knowing Mrs. Ji's thoughts, in order to enliven everyone's emotions, Wang Goudan made a joke lightly:
"Yes, how good that place was yesterday, and the rabbits and pheasants that were delivered to the door, the eldest lady doesn't like flat, but likes pheasants and hares."
His tone was deliberately very funny, and the expression on his face was strange.
Everyone smiled very face-savingly.
Li Jiang looked around with a little hesitation, according to his memory, the dense forest around him seemed to be a long way away, and if he insisted on leaving, he was afraid it would take an hour or two.
But Li Jiang didn't know if his memory was wrong, and besides, it wasn't too late now, anyway, these roads had to be walked in the end, and it was okay to walk more.
So Li Jiang didn't say anything against it, and several people hit it off and decided to continue driving.
But this time they felt the voices in front of them getting closer.
Several people were alarmed, obviously very alert, and a pair of eyes were closely watching the road in front of them.
"Why is it getting louder?" Wang Xueyan frowned and looked at Mrs. Ji, and couldn't help but open the curtain again.
Mrs. Ji also frowned again and again.
It's annoying if you meet any team.
She looked outside, and then said to Li Jiang and the others:
"I heard that there was really someone in front of me, so I might as well find a place to stop and rest."
Li Jiang and the others had this intention, and they were busy responding when they heard the words.
But it is clearly not appropriate to stop directly now.
The road on both sides was very narrow and not suitable for ox carts, and they looked and saw that this part of the road was narrower, and the road in front and behind was wider.
I simply planned to turn a corner and find a place to rest.
When the others heard it, they turned a corner and felt that it was nothing.
Who knew that after they turned the corner, they found that there was a group of people not far in front of them, and the scale was very huge.
Li Jiang and the others have good eyesight, if they are not mistaken, it seems that there is a team of officers and soldiers with weapons in that group.
It's actually someone from the government?
Several people's minds instantly became vigilant.
Li Jiang hurriedly parked the carriage on the side of the road, and then signaled everyone not to make a little noise, while he was closely observing the other side.
Ji Liangqing's heart moved, looking at the familiar flag, faintly speculating, taking advantage of no one's attention, he actually sneaked closer to a closer place.
The closer he got, the more clearly Ji Liangqing saw what kind of situation this was.
There was a carriage here, and the carriage was tightly surrounded, and the people sitting in it obviously had a background.
Behind him were several dragging carts, which, judging from the pockets, seemed to be full of grain.
Even though there was food, it was surrounded by a group of insensitive looking homeless people who looked yellow and thin, and apparently did not receive good food and lodging.
Many of them had children, and the women held the children with pale faces, while the men looked at the carriage in the middle with slightly grim eyes.
Apparently what's going on!
Ji Liangqing clearly saw that one of the officers and soldiers led by him stepped forward respectfully, as if he was listening to the orders of the officer in the carriage.
Looking at the appearance of this dog's leg, I don't know why, Ji Liangqing always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
He wanted to hear more about what was going on.
But because he was afraid of this group of people, Ji Liangqing didn't dare to get too close, so he couldn't hear what they were talking about.
I just saw that the man had listened to the command, nodded and left the carriage, and then said something to the dog's leg that came up from below.
The dogleg responded, and immediately dragged down a sack from the board cart on the side, opened the seal with force, and took out a handful of white rice from it.
The white rice instantly made the eyes of this group of hungry homeless people red.
This is actually rice!
This white rice is so white that it will definitely not cut their throats if they eat it, and it can also fill their stomachs and prevent them from starving.
They followed the group all the way, and they guessed that it was food when they looked at so many things on the cart.
But no one guessed that it was actually a bag of rice.
It's a good thing they didn't eat a few times when they didn't start fleeing.
Among them, a few little boys who were shrunk in their mother's arms saw the white rice in the dog's hand, and seemed to remember the mouth-watering taste of rice soup, swallowing saliva and saying pitifully:
"Mother, I'm hungry~"
The child didn't know how to hide his longing, and looked at the rice in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and his face was a heartbreaking desire for his parents.
The little boy's parents were about to break their hearts, and looked at the officers and soldiers standing in the middle who were looking at them with disdain on their faces, gritted their teeth and stepped forward with a smile:
"Official, this rice ......"
"Go, go, go." The officer and soldier looked at the man in front of him impatiently: "Where is your part to speak, go aside!" ”
The man gritted his teeth and wanted to say more.
Seeing his precious son hungry for so long, his heart was almost broken.
Now this group of people naturally has their plan to take out the food, and they don't give food along the way.
Now suddenly the grain comes out, there must be something.
But this man doesn't think about it so much, as long as he doesn't want to die, he has to give this rice to his son:
"Official, you are doing well, my kid is really hungry and can't stand it, if you have anything to do, just tell the villain."
The official's eyes narrowed, and when he saw the little boy behind the man who was shrunk in the woman's arms, he immediately showed a malicious smile.
