Yan Lao Er said distractedly: "In that case, the eldest master is still a very good official." ”

Yan Huaiwen snorted coldly: "I am soft-hearted, but I am also afraid of responsibility, I expect the officials to be sympathetic in everything, and I will not fight for it in every possible way. ”

"At least he acquiesced in the tax deferrals of the squires." Yan Lao Er thinks this is still good.

"If the court wants to be more serious, he, the eldest lord, will have nothing to do, but those squires will not escape the blame."

Yan Lao Er pondered, this is the reason!

"These people who stick to the old rules believe that it is good not to do it, and they refuse to step more than half a step.

Acting in a peaceful manner, there is no big mistake, for the official side, what is the way when you come, what is the way when you go, the common people call this kind of official clay sculpture Bodhisattva. ”

Yan Lao Er was curious: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's good to worship and offer on weekdays, there are really blessings and misfortunes, it's useless to ask for it, it's hard to protect itself."

Yan Laoer: ......

The evaluation of the common people is good and the image is interesting.

Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but think of all kinds of officials, all kinds of life in them.

Are people bad? Not necessarily.

These people are kind-hearted, compassionate, and empathetic, and some will even burst into tears when they see the people suffering.

When it comes to the body, the left sentence is incompetent, and the right sentence is ashamed.

You don't even know what to do with them.

It's not enough to be dismissed, and you have to be an official, but such an official is a corpse vegetarian meal wherever he is placed.

Sometimes he felt that these mediocre people were more hateful than those who were corrupt and perverted the law.

The latter will also bother to do a face-saving project, and the former will only be left with incompetence......

"I have told the village elders to leave this place as soon as possible, and if they encounter victims on the way, they will be vigilant."

Yan Huaiwen knew that the people who had just come out had some rations on them, and they were not dangerous.

"When you go to Hai today, you will be on the road at two o'clock tomorrow, God bless, don't run out these days."

Yan Lao Er agreed to come down.

Count the number of people and set off as a group.

As usual, the ox cart of the Yan family was in front, the elderly, children and women were concentrated in the middle, and the strong men in the village walked around the team.

This section of the road, Yan Lao Er and San Bao have repeatedly confirmed, it is a section of the road that overlaps with the official road.

Originally, they planned to follow Yan Huaiwen's method, encounter the post station and bypass, and then turn back to the official road.

Now that there is a large force cover, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Walk directly on the official road.

Accustomed to walking on the path, they suddenly turned into the official road, and immediately felt like they were flying.

One after another, I met people fleeing the famine, most of them were traveling on the same road, and so many people like them had never seen each other.

The two-story ox cart of the Yan family is extremely conspicuous, and when you look at it, you can see that there are several mule carts and donkey carts outside.

When Santie came back, he told everyone about the situation in the town, and everyone had palpitations.

If they hadn't come out early with Xiucaigong, and when they had also paid the grain tax, the rest of the food would probably not be enough to get here.

Accustomed to walking in the mountains and countryside, Leng Buding met so many people, and the villagers were a little uncomfortable, especially these people were always staring at them and always trying to talk to them.

What village are you from, and why haven't I seen you?

Where do you want to go? Isn't this road going to Fucheng, are you also going to Leshan Mansion?

We are going to Leshan Mansion to join our relatives, what about you?

The village elders specially confessed and told them to keep their mouths shut and not know what to say and what not to say, so they didn't say it.

Fortunately, they were fast, and after a few words, they left behind.

Even if the people behind can't catch up with them.

Beyond the gang after group, I finally saw the post again.

The front and back of the post station were all occupied by the common people who fled the famine, leaving only a smooth official road.

Look at the sky, they should be resting.

Yan Lao Er drove through, and the people on both sides had long seen his strange ox cart, and thought that they would stop and stay near the post station, but no, this group of people actually went over directly......

When the people who were chasing after arrived at the post station panting, they inquired with someone: "Fellow, have you seen a team of double-decker ox carts?" Where are they? ”

"It's been gone for a long time, and people haven't stopped at all, what's wrong? Acquaintance? "Why don't you wait for the acquaintance.

"I met them on the road, I saw that they were many people, old and young, I wanted to take a companion with them on the road, I didn't want them to go so fast, my donkey cart didn't catch up."

"Look at the people are not short of people or food, look at the strong guy, how solid the body is, it's normal to be impatient to take people away, want to borrow this light, there are many people, see it, that, that, and over there, all pack up and prepare to catch up."

"Why did you go with me?"

……

After Yan Huaiwen talked with several groups of people who caught up, he agreed to follow them behind the team, but in the head, they were all Zhuang households, they walked fast, they could keep up, and they wouldn't deliberately wait if they couldn't keep up.

"Xiucaigong, why do you want to bring them?" Village Chief Luo and the village elders came to ask: "It's not that you should be careful, don't tell people what our situation is." ”

"My brother said, let's always hide, afraid that people will be suspicious, anyway, they only go to Leshan Mansion, and they won't be on the same road with us for long." Yan Lao Er and the big guy explained: "The front is almost all official roads, and with these people accompanying them, they can also cover for us." ”

"But I'm afraid there will be more and more of them." Luo Laohan is experienced, people who flee the famine love to get together, that person is Wuyang Wuyang, as soon as there are many people, it is easy to make trouble.

"If it's really bad, let's run down the road, they can't catch up with us." Yan Lao Er was triumphant.

Yan Huaiwen glanced at him and said to everyone: "The situation in Leshan Mansion is unknown, most of these people are going to join their relatives, and we can also take the opportunity to find out some of the situation." ”

In fact, this year, not only Qishan Mansion, but Leshan Mansion also reported a disaster, but under the backdrop of Qishan Mansion, it was not so conspicuous.

He clearly remembered that in the recital of Leshan Mansion, there was not only drought, but also banditry.

The two mansions are adjacent, and there is a mountain character, Qishan Mansion has many plains, and there are few real mountains, Leshan Mansion is just the opposite, and there are many mountains.

According to his second brother's idea, he wanted to take a shortcut from the mountains, but he didn't take the official road safely.

……

Just like what Village Chief Luo was worried about, starting with a few more tails in the back, the number of people following behind the team increased day by day.

No matter how fast their feet were, these people gritted their teeth and followed, even if they had changed their daily journey to eight hours, it would only stretch the huge army of escapees.

In the dead of night, it is the most nervous time for everyone.

Voices can be heard in the distance, the curses of men, the shrill exclamations of women, and the shrill cries of children......

I don't know what day these sounds will stop abruptly as soon as they sound.

It's like someone grabbed the throat, and it's indescribably weird.

The atmosphere of the desert escape team has also become more and more solemn.

Together with the scorching sun and the suffocating heat, the people were breathless.
