Liu Shi has been worried, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he asked, "How is it, is that lady okay?" ”

Just now she saw people lying on the ground, thinking they were injured.

Jing Yi replied: "That lady is pregnant, although she has fetal gas, but it shouldn't be a big deal to go back and take care of the fetus." Let's go, let's go to the city after dark to find an inn to settle in. ”

Then Jingyi got into the carriage, and the coachman continued to hurry. Outside the city of Suizhou Prefecture, Jingyi saw some displaced people fleeing the famine, and it seems that the drought in several northern state capitals has spread here.

Seeing this situation, Jing Yi was even more determined to go south. And this Suizhou capital is still too close to the Wing Country, she is afraid that there will be spies from the Wing Kingdom to find them or something. It's safer to stay farther away from the Winged Country.

After entering Suizhou Fucheng, the mother and daughter stayed in an inn, and Jingyi also paid the fare.

After entering the room, Jingyi opened the purse that Wu Wenbo gave her before, and when she opened it, she saw that it was indeed a silver ticket, and it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, which was really a lot. Now her purse is bulging a little more.

This era is still relatively backward in some aspects, such as food. In some respects, it has developed relatively advanced. For example, it is now possible to use silver tickets instead of currency circulation, which she did not expect.

After arranging her mother, Jingyi went out to find out the news again.

Jing Yi found out that several state capitals in the north were seriously affected, and although the imperial court had allocated funds for disaster relief, it was a drop in the bucket. The price of grain in several northern states has risen a lot, and the money in the hands of the common people cannot buy much grain at all. What's more, most people don't have much money left in their hands after paying harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

People who could not survive had to leave their homes and flee the famine in order to survive.

Jing Yi also felt that the number of displaced people from the north was increasing, and she felt that it was not appropriate for them to stay in Suizhou for a long time, and they should leave as soon as possible. It's better to get ahead of the homeless, otherwise the road will be dangerous. She herself can say that she has to be careful when she has her mother by her side.

Jing Yi told her mother about the situation, and Liu also felt that it was better to leave as soon as possible.

The next day, Jingyi hired another carriage, bought some dry food, and her mother went on the road again. Along the way, she met some displaced people who fled the famine, and she also saw people starving to death, and even saw scenes of selling children and daughters. This made Jing Yi even more vigilant. The coachman was also very cautious.

Their carriages moved faster, gradually leaving behind some of the displaced people who had fled the famine.

Jing Yi felt that a large number of displaced people may not have arrived yet, and these displaced people she saw were only the vanguard, and it seemed that the drought in the north was quite serious.

Jing Yi's carriage arrived in a county town again, and the coachman didn't want to go far, so Jing Yi had to pay for the car.

Jingyi's mother and daughter lived in an inn, Jingyi went out to inquire about the situation, she found a local middleman who helped people get a household registration, and spent dozens of taels of silver to get a legal household registration for herself and her mother. Their household registration fell in this place called Luhua County.

Jingyi was in a hurry to apply for household registration, but she was also afraid that she would encounter the time to check her household registration if she hurried in the future. With the homeless people, it is inevitable that the management of household registration will become stricter.

When Jing Yi walked to the inn after applying for household registration, she saw that there were refugees on both sides of the street who were begging for food, and Jing Yi knew that these were the refugees they met on the road.

Jingyi didn't want to stay longer in this Luhua County, so she hired a carriage, bought some dry food, and took her mother on the road again.

Liu Shi looked at the scene on the street and said, "Brother Yan'er, the displaced people who fled the famine have all arrived here, and it seems that the place where the famine is very serious. Isn't there going to be a famine in that place? ”

Jing Yi said: "The place we went to is a little southerly, and I haven't heard of a disaster yet. Let's take it one step at a time. At present, it seems that there are not many people affected by the disaster, and maybe the situation can be controlled. ”

The Liu family listened to her daughter in everything, so she didn't say anything.

On this day, their carriage was walking on the road in the mountains and forests, when they suddenly heard someone shouting in front of them: "Well, I drove this road, and I want to pass by from here to stay and buy road money." ”

When Jing Yi heard this sentence that often appeared in TV series, she knew that they had encountered a robbery.

Liu Shi was also a little panicked when he heard this, grabbed his daughter's arm and said nervously, "What should I do?" Brother Yan'er, I'm afraid that someone will rob the road. ”

Jing Yi patted the back of her mother's hand and reassured: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go out and take a look, it's not certain who robs who in the end." ”

Jing Yi got off the carriage with a wicked smile and saw more than a dozen men in short clothes standing not far in front of the carriage. The man at the head was big-shouldered and round-waisted, with a black face full of beards, eyes like bells, and a big knife on his shoulder.

Jing Yi looked at the people behind her, some of them were holding knives, and some were even holding a hoe, and at a glance, she knew that it was a group of rabble, and her heart also fell into her stomach. It's really self-conscious that such a lineup wants to rob her.

Now the territory of the Jin Kingdom is quite peaceful, and there are no riots or anything like that. These robbers are also likely to be bandits in the neighborhood or farmers who want to make some ill-gotten gains.

Jing Yi stepped forward and squinted and asked, "Are you going to block the road and rob you?" ”

The black-faced man with the big knife at the head said angrily: "Isn't this obvious?" As long as you keep your money, we will not hurt your lives. ”

Jing Yi tugged at the corners of her mouth, squinted her eyes, and said as if she was sloppy: "What if I don't give it?" ”

When the black-faced man heard this, he raised his big knife and glared at him and said, "Then wait to be my knife ghost." ”

Jing Yi patted her chest, "Oh, I'm so scared." ”

She said she was scared, but there was no fear on her face.

The black-faced man didn't look at things either, and said: "If you're afraid, take out all the money, and I promise not to hurt your life." ”

Jing Yi stepped forward as if she wanted to pay for it, "I'll give you money, you must not hurt us." ”

The black-faced man saw that Jingyi was a teenager, and he didn't take it to heart.

Jing Yi, who had already walked in front of the black-faced man, suddenly moved, and an arrow stepped forward and pointed at an acupuncture point under the armpit of the black-faced man.

The black-faced man felt that his hand holding the big knife was numb, and his arm lost strength, and the big knife in his hand couldn't hold it directly.

The moment the big knife fell, it was snatched by Jing Yi. In a few seconds, the big knife was in Jing Yi's hand, and Jing Yi had already put the big knife on the neck of the black-faced man.

The situation reversed in an instant, and the people behind the black-faced man held their weapons and did not dare to act rashly.

And the black-faced man was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, I just grabbed some money, and I have never hurt anyone's life." Hero, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed, and we really have no choice but to come out to do this. I beg the good man to spare my life. ”
