Chapter 21: The Hunt
The officials came in time, and soon a team of officials and messengers came to the rescue with long knives in their hands.
Those who were in turmoil were nervous when they saw the official mission, and seeing that the scene was about to be controlled, many people with swords suddenly jumped out of the darkness in several directions and rushed towards the official mission.
"Dog officer, take your life!"
"Take my land, rob my ancestral house, I will fight with you!"
"Die, give me death!"
"Everyone, take back our land, take back our house!"
As if stimulated by these words and empathetic fiercely, those who saw the official messenger was frightened picked up their weapons and roared again.
"Brother, why are they so angry? Did these officials really rob their houses and land? Zheng Erqiao asked suspiciously.
Zheng Daqiao sighed: "Sort of, but they are obviously being used..."
Because these people suddenly resisted again, coupled with the sudden outpouring of mobs, it was obvious that a group of officials could not resist.
The soldiers guarding the city gate looked anxious and hesitant, and just as they were hesitating whether to help, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Oh no, no, no!" Walk the water! ”
The soldier guarding the gate was startled, picked up his long knife and ran to the water.
You must know that walking water was a terrible thing in ancient times, if you can't extinguish the fire in time, you are afraid of heavy losses!
As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate left, Martha quietly walked back, hiding his merit and fame.
Zheng Daqiao only nodded at him, and with a wave of his hand, the city gate was opened, and the group rode wildly.
The city gate and city wall are heavy, unlike some modern tofu scum projects, so the sound insulation effect is good, and because of this, the guards outside the city gate do not realize that there is chaos in the city.
They were a little surprised to see the city gate wide open, but Zheng Daqiao didn't have time to explain, so he led his men and horses to run out.
When the homeless people outside the city saw this, their eyes lit up, and they stood up in an uproar.
"The gates are open! I'm going to rush in this time! ”
"The county master has finally done a good thing, hahaha, son, we can go into the city!"
"Hurry up, while the soldiers haven't closed the door, rush in!"
"Don't squeeze..."
Zheng Daqiao saw that the homeless people were so crazy, and shouted repeatedly: "There is a riot in the city, don't go in!" ”
shouted several times in a row, but most of the people fell into madness, and few people could notice what Zheng Daqiao said. The people who can notice are pushed around by the homeless, and there is no room to dodge at all!
When the displaced people crossed the layers of obstacles and walked to the city gate, the soldiers guarding outside the city gate finally tore open a hole by the displaced people without the support of the city, and took the time to break into the city.
The soldier only had time to say, "Don't go in, there's a riot inside..."
Immediately, the screams of homeless people were heard.
By this time, the people in the city had gone mad. Not only the people who took the lead in causing trouble, but also the shopkeepers and stall owners who were affected, they were fighting and shouting at each other. It was mixed with the pressure of the officials, and the fire in the distance.
The sound of killing, firefighting, crying for help, despair, the sound of despair.
The villagers of Xiushui Village had already begun to retreat during the riots, and they were also smart enough to chase directly in the direction of Zheng Daqiao's escape.
Xia Huai took the time to look back, and there was even more chaos behind him.
Many people took advantage of the riots to rob and rob, whether it was food, gold or silver, even people or clothes.
Where is this world, this is clearly purgatory!
Some people even saw that the fleeing people began to chase after them, and as the riots became more and more chaotic, the officials finally came to the rescue, and they were all dressed in official uniforms, with solemn faces, no matter whether they were good or bad, they were all grabbed and tied up.
After the people in the city were arrested, they did not stop, but began to arrest outside the city, and a group of people actually chased after the people who had escaped.
Xia Huai shuddered, and hurriedly urged Xia Dashan, who was in a hurry: "Dad, hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Where are their mules fast, not only can they not catch up with Zheng Daqiao and others, but they can't get rid of the officials behind them. What's more, most people don't have a car to get around.
Despite the help of those with cars, most were left behind.
Some of them gritted their teeth and ran in other directions, while others chose to give up and stood in place waiting for the officials to arrest them.
Xia Huai didn't have time to sympathize with them, so she could only keep asking her father to hurry up, and faster.
However, God is very fond of playing tricks on people, and they actually go to a cliff, and any further on, it is a dead end!
"Oh my God! What can I do? Liu Qiuhe wiped her tears and cried.
Xia Dazhuang couldn't help but roar: "Don't cry! Are you afraid that the officials won't be able to find us?! ”
Mrs. Feng calmly commanded, "Find a place to hide the grain, let's escape separately!" ”
"Mother!" Xia Dahai was the first to be unwilling: "This can't work, what if I get caught separately?" Will we be able to get together then? ”
Mrs. Feng pursed her lips: "Now that this time comes, there is no other way... Okay, move quickly, don't hide the food in one place, and when these officials don't check, they won't go hungry. ”
Xia Huai couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Mrs. Feng's decisiveness, but she still reminded: "Grandmother, why don't we determine a place to meet, if we can't get together, we will meet in Huating County then, how about it?" ”
Mrs. Feng raised her eyebrows, looked at her youngest granddaughter, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively: "Okay, just follow Xiaohuai's..."
Seeing that Mrs. Feng had no intention of changing her mind, the rest of the people had no choice but to hide the grain. Fortunately, there are forests near this cliff, and it is not difficult to find a place to hide food.
But most people choose to find a low-lying place and bury some straw. Others picked up shovels and dug a hole and stuffed the grain into the hole.
As for money and stuff, you have to carry it with you.
Xia Huai's food she avoided her father and mother, and chose to hide it herself, in fact, she waved her sleeves and hid the food directly in the space.
If there's one safest place in the world, it's her space!
When she came back, Mrs. Feng was distributing the cooked food to everyone: "Bring some water and dry food with you, eat dry food first when you are hungry, I don't know how long this turmoil will pass, you have to save some food!" ”
Xia Huai thought for a while, put down the sack he was carrying, and took out a bag of things from it.
"Grandmother, I have here the multigrain cake I brought back before, this cookie is very hungry, and it can be kept for many days, let's divide a few pieces each!"
This is the compressed biscuit she redeemed in the space before, a box of 100 pieces, which cost her a total of 99 points. The taste is not good, but it smells mellow, it is said that the preferential price is so cheap, and the other messy flavors cost 120 points a box.
She sat on the mule cart and had nothing to do while she was walking, so she peeled the wrapper in the space, and in the sack was a compressed biscuit wrapped in oiled paper.
