Chapter 308 Group of Five (Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Ugly, do you think this is also a tributary of the Yellow River? It's winter, and the river is still muddy. ”
Driving to the stone bridge, Qian Yan looked at the river below and said.
Seeing that there were no passers-by outside, Chougou also jumped out and stood beside her to look into the distance.
Although it can also be seen with divine consciousness in space, it is still different from vision, and it is not so three-dimensional and vivid.
It's like when you see glacial lava on TV, you only have the sights but you can't feel the cold and heat.
"It should be, as long as the water here is not stagnant, after all, it belongs to the Yellow River Basin.
By the way, there was movement in Yunzhou City just now, and the tiger was transported away. ”
Qian Yan looked down at it, "In this broad daylight, it's not easy to carry a tiger out of the city." ”
Ugly nodded, "Of course, I didn't go out of the city, and I was transported to a big mansion on the side of Xicheng, I probed the yard, and there were no suspicious people in it, it seems that we thought too much, it was a pet raised by a big family." ”
Qian Yan frowned, she always felt that it was not so simple, but if the distance was too far, it would be very exhausting to keep the ugly ugly staring.
So he said, "That's it, you can take a look over there when you're bored, and don't stare at it."
You can help me take a look at the Zhou family's side now, if there is any movement, I can't see that side now. ”
Although she walked forward before, her divine sense still probed to Zhoujiazhen from time to time, wanting to see the follow-up development there.
Chou Chou shook his head, "There is no movement, that Bai Yansheng is still looking along the official road, and is about to turn onto the path to the village."
On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Ling's mother was rubbing medicinal oil on her legs, and her father went to a courtyard not far away, which should be his family's relatives, and the two were discussing how to let Bai Yansheng leave by himself. ”
Qian Yan nodded, in ancient times, harmony was also a very preachable thing, even if it was wrong with men.
It seems that the Zhou family is still not ruthless enough, of course, it is also related to the fact that the other party has not yet succeeded, they may not have felt the seriousness of the matter, after all, it is just speculation on her side.
Now the only thing that is certain is that the other party has raised an outer room outside, gave birth to a son, and the point of seeking money and killing has not yet been fully demonstrated.
People are like this, as long as it doesn't become an established fact, they all have a fluke mentality, in case the other party doesn't think like this, in case the other party has a hard time, in case this is their own thinking too much.
Anyway, I don't dare to start first, for fear that I misunderstood and regretted it later.
The Zhou family should have made this kind of wrong thinking, anyway, their Xue family would definitely not handle things like this.
Their family pays attention to the first strike, nipping danger in the bud, especially her father, who will never put herself and her family in danger, even if it is a threat.
That's why her father can make his business bigger and stronger, and he can also become a pivotal underground force abroad, which is not something that can be done ruthlessly, as long as it is a foreseen danger, it will never be allowed to develop.
Qian Yan was able to kill those bandits and robbers directly without hesitation several times, also because she was imitating her father's style, as long as this danger came to her, she would be able to kill her, and she would never leave any trouble.
Just thinking about it, the person who slapped him in the face came in front.
"Phew! This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth! ”
Because I was thinking about things, I didn't pay attention to the situation in front of me, and as soon as I got off the stone bridge, I was surrounded by a group of people.
can't say a group, it's only five people, including two and a half children and a five or six-year-old little bean.
One of the two adults was thin and had a handful of bones left, and his clothes hung straight on it, and the other was directly missing a leg, and there was a Y-shaped crutch under his arm, just under his armpit.
What is more uniform is that they are all wearing tattered, and those one by one are not like clothes, like dun cloth.
She felt that these people didn't need to rob the road here, just squat on the street in the city, and put a bowl in front of them to get a bite to eat.
"Stunned...... What are you doing in a daze! Scared, right? If you're afraid, you'll ...... Just hand over the money and food! ”
One of the square-faced half-sized men tried to pretend to be fierce, but his mouth was not strong, and he shouted a little stumbling.
"Puff~"
Qian Yan couldn't help laughing, because now these people's expressions were like carved out of a mold, and they must have looked at each other and practiced.
"What are you laughing at? You can't be stupid, right? ”
The little bean asked with a puzzled expression.
Qian Yan glanced at them again, she really couldn't bear to beat them, I was afraid that she could press them to the ground with one finger and rub them.
sighed and said, "With you all having your own characteristics, it's really not easy to pull together a team."
Okay, don't pretend, grinning doesn't look fierce, it just makes people think you're funny.
Tell me, where are you from, what did you do before, and I will give you food. ”
It just so happens that she is bored now, and although it is cloudy this day, the snow has not fallen, so it is better to stop and listen to their stories.
She used the method of the ugly and ugly sect to look at the faces of the five people, although they were all thin and a little out of shape, their eyebrows and eyes were all upright, and this robbery should be the first time.
I guess it was because she was a girl who dared to jump out and try it, in case she was afraid to give some money or food directly.
"Really? That's great! ”
As soon as Xiao Douding heard what she was eating, he immediately threw the small stick in his hand, looked at her with bright eyes, and it wasn't the round-faced kid next to him who grabbed him, he was about to run over.
The thin man and the lame man looked at Qian Yan carefully, wondering if what she said was true.
They have been hungry for two days, and they have been relying on drinking water for the past two days, and they really have no strength to do anything, that is, they are just bluffing by the number of people.
However, they are also afraid that the other party will lie to them, although the other party is just a little girl.
Qian Yan nodded affirmatively, jumped out of the car with the ugly ugly, walked to the back of the car, covered it with a box, and took out a basket of baked cakes.
Of course it's not in the ugly space, it's the same as the one that just came out of the oven, it's too abnormal, she took it out of the storage bag, it's already hard, and it's still edible when it's hot.
When the five people saw that she really took out the food, their eyes couldn't hide their excitement, but none of them dared to step forward impulsively, they all stood there and watched, and kept swallowing saliva.
Qian Yan beckoned to the five or six-year-old little bean ding, "Come here, you tell my sister what your name is, and this baked cake will be given to you." ”
"Oh yes!"
Xiao Douding broke free from the shackles of the young man next to him, and ran to Qian Yan's side, and he also gave up for food.
In fact, the young man didn't really pull him hard, and he didn't see that the girl in front of him didn't look like a wicked person, at least he didn't see the malice and disgust they were used to on the other party's face.
When Xiao Douding took a hard cake and nibbled it directly, the five of them also let down their guard and gathered around Qianyan.
It's just that she's still nearly two meters away from her, first, she is still a little guarded, and she can escape at any time if she has a problem, and secondly, she is afraid that the smell on her body will smoke the other party.
Tilt Yan was dressed in clean and warm clothes, her face was white, and she was full of delicateness, if she hadn't driven the ox cart and the carriage didn't look luxurious, they would have thought that this was the eldest lady of a princely and aristocratic family.
It doesn't look like a small family, at least it can be raised by a merchant family.
The little bean on the side has already eaten half of the cold baked cake in one go, probably because his stomach is half full and energetic, and he is looking at the ugly at this time.
Ugly didn't have time to return to space before. However, it is still the same as the little monkey before, and it is not strange and scary to look at, but it is just a little ugly.
Although Xiao Douding looked at Ugly and ugly with a strange face, he didn't reach out and touch it, he just stared at Ugly Ugly, and Ugly also stared at him with big eyes.
The ugly ugly finally got impatient, and directly bared his teeth to scare the other party, but the little guy was not scared and didn't say anything, and quacked.
The other four people were shocked back to their senses by his laughter, and when they saw that Qian Yan really had no malicious intentions, they reached out to take the baked cakes in the basket.
Qian Yan shrank back, the expressions on the faces of several people changed slightly, thinking that she had repented, and just asked her, she listened to the other party: "This cake is too hard and cold to eat, why don't we make a fire and bake it before eating, you can also tell me why you came here to rob." ”
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and took Qian Yan directly to a flat land behind a few trees.
A patch of weeds had been cleared out of the flat ground, and a pit had been dug in the middle, surrounded by broken stones, and sparks in it.
This is obviously the place where they are temporarily resting, except for a few trees in the direction of Gaoguan Road, the other three sides are not blocked, it can be said that the wind is blowing on all sides.
She parked the bullock cart and sat with them around the fire, which had just been filled with firewood and already had flames rising.
Except for Xiao Douding by her side, the other four people tried to distance themselves from her.
In fact, this winter, it really doesn't matter how smelly they are, dirty is really dirty, this clothes have been worn for I don't know how many years, I guess I don't dare to wash them, I am afraid that they will rot into powder when they wash them.
Qian Yan looked at Xiao Douding and wanted to get his whole body into the fire, only to find that his clothes looked like they were piled up on his body, and as soon as he sat down, the gaps in them leaked out, and they were not sewn together at all, they were tied up haphazardly.
looked at the other four people, they were also like this, I really don't know how they survived until now.
Giving them the basket and letting them roast and eat it themselves, she went back to the carriage again, pretending to have taken out four sheepskins and a padded jacket from the carriage.
It's definitely not okay to give padded jackets, her padded jackets are all women's, and if they are given to her, they won't have to be worn.
She has a lot of sheepskins, in addition to the ones she bought before, she also collected them from the yards of those bandits in Liuyuan County later.
As for Xiao Douding, she just gave him the one that Bao Fang Zhicheng had before, she wouldn't wear it anyway, and it was a pity to throw it away, so it was just right for Xiao Dou Ding to wear.
After they put on sheepskin and cotton jackets and nibbled on the crispy baked cakes, Qian Yan asked the previous question again.
The five of them began to answer her while roasting the fire, it turned out that these people were all beggars from the county town where Qian Yan said she was going.
The county seat is called Wu County, before they begged in the city, not to mention food and clothing, they must not die of hunger, sometimes the rich people in the city will give soup porridge and rice when they have happy events, or some shops will also scatter copper coins, they can always get some.
No matter how bad it is, you can also go to Nanshi to pick up some rotten vegetables and leaves to eat, but half a month ago, a new county order was transferred, and the first thing this new county commander did when he took office was to rectify the weathering in the county.
He had all the beggars in the city gathered together, and selected the young and strong ones to clean the alleys and streets of the city every day, and did not give money but three meals, and no one objected to those who were chosen.
But he didn't take care of those old and sick, but drove them out, and even demolished their shelters, abandoned houses that had been empty for many years.
It is said that it is immoral to stay and affects the beauty of the county.
Many of those beggars are staying up this winter, and driving them out of the city is undoubtedly making them die.
After all, there are not many beggars in this era, because they are lazy and lazy, most of them are young children abandoned by their families or some disabled people, and they do have physical problems and can't do heavy work, otherwise where to do some work is better than sitting there begging.
These five people are like this, among which the thin man Zhang Fengnian is the oldest, he is twenty-six years old this year, because he was born weak and often sick, he emptied his family, and his parents also died of overwork, leaving him alone.
He can't do heavy work, because his health is not good, he has never gained weight, he looks like an easy job, he has no ability to do it, not only is he incapable, others dare not use him, the thin is too scary.
Another lame man is named Li Hu, who used to be a shopkeeper, and when he went to deliver to a family, he was crushed by a passing carriage and broke his leg.
The other party lost money, but was taken away by the family, not only did not treat him, but also threw him directly into the beggar's den, saying that there would be no such person as him at home in the future, and he was also disheartened, so he lived directly in the beggar's den.
Two and a half children, one named Xiao An and the other Xiaokang, were abandoned in the beggar's nest, they were the healthiest of the five, but they were not very old, just twelve years old this year.
And because they have been hungry since they were children, they were not asked for them when the county order recruited people, because Zhang Fengnian and Li Hu usually took care of them, so they came out with them.
Xiao Douding's experience is similar, he was also thrown outside the beggar's nest, his name is Xiaole, the names of the three were given by Zhang Fengnian, only he read when he was a child, I hope they can be safe, happy and healthy in the future.
As for them, they are here because they want to go to another county or town to see if they can find a job or continue begging. (End of chapter)
