Chapter 158: Troubled Times
The words have been spoken, there is nothing to hesitate, Ji Ningyu nodded categorically: "You saved my life, I want to repay you." ”
"I don't need your reward."
"But I want to repay you." Ji Ningyu was a little anxious, but tried to suppress her emotions, kept herself calm, and looked at her with restraint, "Although I really don't have any ability, but ...... There's always something I can do to help you. ”
His eyes were completely open, and Feng Shijiu frowned at him slightly, not knowing why this person had to follow him.
"If you're afraid that these people will target you, you don't have to." Feng Nineteen said, "You have read so many books, and they also need talents like you to educate them." ”
"But I want to follow you." Ji Ningyu smiled bitterly, almost unable to suppress his emotions, he lowered his head, not letting Feng Nineteen see his expression, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what you're going to do, and I don't know why you have to do it, but ......"
As soon as his breathing stopped, Ji Ningyu said softly: "Take me, at least there is someone who can collect your body at that time." ”
“……”
The corners of Feng Jiu's mouth moved: "I'm going to settle things, not to send them to death." ”
Ji Ningyu: "I see that you look at death as home, and it seems that there is no difference." ”
“……”
With a hissing in his heart, Feng Shijiu lay back, pressed his forehead with his fingers, and couldn't say anything to refute it, he was right, there was really no difference.
Your own thoughts are no different from sending them to death.
"But you can also say some auspicious words, bless me, maybe it will work."
Ji Ningyu said in disbelief: "That must be because you have disagreed with your mind." ”
That's why you can survive.
Feng Jiu looked at him speechlessly.
Ji Ningyu looked at her calmly and didn't say a word.
I know my own situation too well, and I know how many pounds and taels I have, of course, I don't dare to mention anything that makes her stay, I don't even dare to mention myself, and I don't dare to ask more, for fear that I will break off the already fragile and even shaky relationship.
"You make me think." Feng Jiu pressed his eyebrows again, feeling a little headache.
In fact, I was a little hesitant in my heart.
She was going to the capital to settle with that person, and she really didn't have to do it.
Mu Weixian has already admitted that the so-called pursuit and killing, but he directed and acted by himself, and it had nothing to do with that person, so he may really think that he is dead.
In that case......
With his fingers curled, Feng Nineteen said: "When the troubled times come, if we don't do something, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves." ”
Seeing her move, Ji Ningyu instantly came to her senses: "I have surveyed, this place is very hidden, as long as we pay attention not to appear in front of people, no one will find out." ”
"And then?"
And then what? The pale-faced youth tilted his head.
Feng 19: "And then, how to feed the people in this village?"
"Can't the people here feed themselves?" Ji Ningyu said with some surprise.
Feng Jiu said quietly: "Why do you think you were picked up?" ”
"Kind?"
The woman scoffed.
Ji Ningyu: "It won't be a robbery." ”
Feng Nineteen shook his head: "The last target of their robbery was me." ”
Hearing this, Ji Ningyu didn't know who to sympathize with for a while, but suddenly understood why those people were so honest when they faced Feng Nineteen, like a frightened rabbit.
Feelings have been rectified.
"You mean, they live by robbing people?" Spit and complain, Ji Ningyu still keenly noticed that something was wrong.
Isn't this a bandit?
"Almost."
Ji Ningyu was suddenly silent, feeling that they were now in the bandits' den.
"But they're worse than the average bandit."
Feng Jiu sighed and said: "The people here have perfectly implemented a sentence - poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. ”
Ji Ningyu was keenly aware that her tone was quite heavy when she said the word 'poor'.
Something suddenly flashed in his mind, he almost didn't catch it, Ji Ningyu was not sure: "We've been eating white rice and meat recently?" ”
"Whose money do you think that's that?" Feng Jiu's voice was indifferent, and she was a little worried, this was all her money!
Ji Ningyu: "......"
Swallowing, "I see." ”
No wonder the people here are so friendly, this is the attitude towards the parents of food and clothing!
Ji Ningyu's voice was a little dry: "Then you...... Then why do you keep people here?"
Since they are all bad people, it's okay...... You can just let it go.
"You can't kill them all."
Ji Ningyu didn't speak, he was rethinking, thinking about whether it was a good idea to stay in this place.
"Yizhou is closed, the world will be chaotic, there will be fewer pedestrians on the road, they have no income, if you don't care...... Either starve to death, or choose to join the army. ”
Neither one was what he wanted to see.
"Why don't they farm?" Ji Ningyu finally thought of this and asked strangely.
Feng 19 gave one word: "Poor." ”
Ji Ningyu frowned: "This dynasty prohibits land sales, except for the homeless, all have land to cultivate, even if the poor people are, they can support themselves with land income, and these people can't even have land." ”
"Not really."
Ji Ningyu was stunned, and her brows furrowed even deeper: "What about their land?" ”
This time, Feng Jiujiu didn't answer, but beckoned to a guard who was leaning against the wall and fishing frantically not far away, and when the people arrived, he motioned for Ji Ningyu to ask himself.
Ji Ningyu asked.
The man was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he scratched his head when he heard this: "Our family has no land." ”
With a stroke of his arm, he scratched the whole stockade: "No one in our stockade has any land. ”
"Where is your land?"
"There is no land." After a pause, the boy explained, "I remember that a few years ago, it snowed heavily, crushing many people to death, and the crops in the field were also crushed, so my mother took me to escape. ”
"I was going to go to the city to beg and live on the good porridge from the rich and noble, but when the disaster was over and the weather was warm, I went back, but when I went back, I found that our land was gone."
The boy continued: "I was ten years old at the time, and I remember very well that there was a man from a rich and noble family who pointed to our land and said that it was their land, and they bought it from the government and did not allow us to cultivate it. ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, I also said that we were allowed to plant, but it was to let us tenant their fields, at that time we had no way to live, my father wanted to agree, but my mother disagreed, saying that this is not good, it is not their own land, and they can't get anything if they rent it, in case the other party bullies us, their family is powerful, and we can't afford to provoke it, maybe we will be killed, and the government will not care." ”
"And they took me out."
"On the way, we met a lot of people who fled with us, and finally Uncle Daben and they found this mountain, so we came up and hid on it all the time."
Daben is Juka's father.
