Chapter 56: The Garrison

Although the grain store in Taixi County was closed, I heard from the young man who sold cabbage seeds that the county lord had already asked for help, and it was not long before an officer would come and drive these homeless people back.

When I asked, I found out that there was a military camp near their Taixi County, and the county lord saw that there were more and more displaced people gathered, and if he didn't care about it, he might besiege the city.

At present, there is already a food shortage in the county, and if the city is besieged by the displaced people again, then the black gauze hat on his head will not be able to wear it steadily.

A large number of officials were also sent at the gate of the city, and they were not allowed to enter the city if they encountered displaced people.

Ning Changrong and Ning Da Niu came in with an ox cart, otherwise they would have been stopped outside as refugees. The entrance fee to the city has also increased, and it was originally 3 Wen plus Ning Da Niu had at most 4 Wen for a person with a car, but when they came in, they spent 10 Wen!

Obviously, the county magistrate asked them to work overtime, and they made up the overtime pay from the people.

No money? Well, then don't enter this city.

Ning Changrong knew that according to the urine nature of the most imperial court, these homeless people were estimated to be driven by the army from Taixi County to other places at that time, as for whether to return to their hometowns, those troops and officials would not care about them, as long as they were not within the scope of their own garrison, they would not affect their promotion and wealth, and they would die if they loved it.

Ning Changrong is just an ordinary person, even if he knows what he can do? can protect his whole family in the troubled times, he feels that he has burned incense.

Ning Da Niu sat beside the frame, "Brother Evergreen, don't worry, didn't that guy say it?" The county lord has already gone to ask the army to drive these homeless people away, and our village just needs to hold on to it, anyway, we all have stocked up some food, plus the wild vegetables and leaves on the mountain, we can't go hungry after all. ”

How did Ning Da Niu know that Ning Changrong was not thinking about those homeless people at all, he was just lamenting that the lives of people in the troubled world were like mustard, and there were relatives first, who could say for sure the allowances of these people, was it their tomorrow?

But soon he didn't have time to grieve and be sad.

On the way, I saw a lot of scattered homeless people, two people driving ox carts, and they were relatively tall, so no one grabbed them.

But at the moment, there were about a dozen displaced people, and a large rock was moved and blocked the road in front of them. One by one, their eyes glowed green, and they looked at their cow with fierce eyes.

The black spots were bitten all over the body, the "moo" kept "mooing", the tail flicked uneasily, and the 4 grapes were tapping and walking under their feet.

Ning Changrong didn't have time to appease the black spots, and squinted his eyes and looked at this group of homeless people with a cold face.

The leader was a tall and thin man, looking at the big knife in Ning Daniu's hand vigilantly,

"I don't embarrass you, just put down the cow and go."

Ning Da Niu was already holding a big knife drawn from the carriage in his hand, and Ning Changrong also unconsciously touched the hand crossbow on his waist.

It was also because of this thing that Ning Changrong only dared to come out with Ning Da Niu. Ning Da Niu has a strict mouth and great strength, coupled with the Ning family's reminders to them, so that they can avoid getting dysentery, and now they don't say anything to Ning Changrong, and they will never talk nonsense.

"Whew!"

Ning Changrong didn't talk nonsense, the green eyes of this group of people were not just looking at the cow, but also when they looked at the two of them, the eyes that kept looking at them were like picking out some pork parts.

Not daring to think about it, Ning Changrong directly raised his crossbow and shot it at the chest of the person at the front.

At such a close distance, he still had the same improved iron crossbow with a sight attached to it. Shot straight into the chest of the leading man.

"Poof!"

The sight pierced the man's chest, bursting with a flower of blood.

The surrounding homeless people looked at the weapon in Ning Changrong's hand, and they were all extremely vigilant. Constantly retreating.

Soon another long, skinny outcasts were organizing them.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! He can only shoot once to install an arrow! Let's rush over while he's still unloaded! Then a big cow is ours! There's got a lot of good stuff in their big ox cart! ”

The commotion of the homeless people gathered again, and everyone was ruthless and rushed towards Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong put down the iron crossbow in his hand, took out two bamboo hand crossbows from under the seat of the carriage, and shot them out directly one by one.

This is the case to prevent it.

The first two people who ran the fastest threw themselves directly on the ground and were trampled by the group of homeless people who didn't have time to stop behind. He wasn't dead yet, but he was suddenly trampled on and couldn't breathe.

The two people froze in place for a while, Ning Daniu held a big knife and looked at these people vigilantly, just now a person who suddenly ran over had been slashed by him and fell to his feet. The other two were shot to the ground by Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong's face did not change and looked at the thin man who was suspected of being the leader of the homeless group, "I still have a lot of them in this car, do you want to try it?" As he spoke, he put down two more crossbows and took two more out of the carriage, one of which was still aimed at the thin man.

The thin man among the homeless people asked everyone to rush to the front, but he hung behind, and after being targeted by Ning Changrong's hand crossbow, his scalp exploded, and his hair stood on end! Hurriedly hid behind the displaced people in front.

He could see exactly how lethal that thing was! Where is the life of being shot?

Ning Changrong and the other party stalemate for a long time before speaking:

"I have five loaves of bread in my baggage, and you remove the stones, and I will give them to you, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to get five loaves in a row, but you will have to keep your life! There are so many of you, even if I can't beat it, I can run away with this car by turning around, and you won't get anything. ”

Originally, I was going to grab a cow, but now there are only five cakes, how can so many people divide them? The thin man was unwilling and didn't speak for a long time.

"Whoosh!"

Ning Changrong's crossbow was aimed at the opponent's feet and shot directly at the thin man's leftmost piece of soil.

If you get closer, you can shoot at the opponent's feet.

The thin man was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, and hurriedly beckoned,

"Good, good! Let's move! ”

If he encounters a hard stubble, if he doesn't stop, I'm afraid he will have to stay today, he can't figure it out, how can an ordinary person have such a lethal weapon? I can only consider myself unlucky.

The thin man was obviously the head of this group of homeless people, Ning Changrong estimated that the first person he killed by him should be just a thug, and he didn't have time to inquire about the reason why the other party was just a thin man, but he was able to lead a group of homeless people.

This group of people reluctantly moved the stones in front of them under the threat of Ning Changrong's crossbow, and when they moved over, they had already consumed a lot of strength, and they also thought that they could make a fortune to replenish their bodies.

"Give!" Seeing that the road in front of him was cleared, the group of homeless people all stood on both sides of the road, Ning Da Niu held a machete when Ning Changrong drove over, and looked around vigilantly, and after passing through this group of people, Ning Changrong threw out the five cakes in the bag, letting the black dots speed up and run away.

As soon as the bread was thrown out, the homeless crowd fought for it, and one by one they beat their heads and broke their blood.
