Chapter 697: On the Way to Escape 3
The Zhang family is afraid that they have never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry in their lives, so they were all shocked, and then there was a burst of joy, when they left the village before, they were beating drums in their hearts, and now with this windfall, they are better at peace in their hearts.
Old man Zhang glanced around and saw the expressions of the family members in his eyes, fortunately, no one was born with any greed, and some were happy and happy.
"This is a windfall, but it's also because those people are not pure-minded that our family picked up the leak, so I'll make the decision and divide the food and the money, everyone has no opinion, right?"
Old man Zhang said.
"No opinion, we all listen to Dad."
Several sons all took a stand.
Song Dachuan also said that he had no opinion, he looked at it more lightly, after all, there were ripples of gold bars harvested from Wankou Mountain, and these things were just icing on the cake for him, and they could also let them spend money in the future to have a source, and he had no opinion on how much or too little.
"That's good! I will divide this money into six parts, I will count it as one share with your mother, and you four brothers and the Dachuan family will each take one share, and when I arrive in Huangzhou, I will use this money to build a house and buy a field. ”
Everyone said they had no opinion.
"Master, after this money is divided, don't put it all in the hands of the family, hide some on the four aunts and three younger brothers, eggs can't be put in one basket, who knows what will happen on the road, if we disperse, we can also have emergency money."
Ripple reminded at the right time.
The three aunts all gave Ripples a kind look, and the money was naturally safe in their own hands.
"Ripple is right, most people will think that the money is in the hands of the man in charge, even if he wants to rob it, it is against them, so disperse the money, and when we encounter those victims who don't want to die, we can give up some of our wealth to get out."
Old Zhang agreed with Ripple's suggestion.
This time, everyone has no opinion.
"After the money is divided, you will work hard to sew everything into the sandwich of your clothes or quilts, how to hide and hide."
Old man Zhang said directly.
Then Old Man Zhang divided the silver money into six parts in front of everyone, he asked his wife to take one share, and let his four sons and Song Dachuan take the rest by themselves.
The four sons gave in modestly, and let their daughters-in-law take it, except for the youngest son, who was chosen by himself, the other three were daughters-in-law who chose the pile of silver money that they liked, and Song Dachuan waited for everyone to choose, so he took the last share.
Then the women were busy, and the men lay down in their clothes to make up for sleep, and tomorrow they were the main force pulling the cart, and they had to rest.
Ripples also let Song Dachuan rest, she also fell asleep with Huzi in her arms, only Huiniang lit the torch and the three concubines together, and began to hide the silver carefully, and whispered a few words from time to time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, there were no moths in the second half of the night, and when the sky was bright, the four of them made breakfast, which also included Liu's confinement meal.
Because of the harvest of those three bags of grain, breakfast and confinement meals are very rich, and everyone can eat seven or eight points full.
After Liu ate breakfast, he held the baby Yuan Bao (nickname) and fed himself.
Although the village suffered a disaster in the late stage of Liu's pregnancy, the food hoarded at home was enough, and as a pregnant woman, she was the only one in the family who could eat enough, just because she still had one in her stomach.
This is the tradition of the Zhang family, no matter how difficult it is, you can't detain pregnant women, the first three sisters-in-law all came over like this, especially this is the youngest brother's first child, everyone is more concerned, and no one says sour words.
Because he was full of food and didn't do heavy work, so Liu's raised well, now the chest is swollen and the milk is very high, and he was sucked by the ingots after a few mouthfuls, and when the ingots finished eating, he fell asleep with a small fist, and it was not troublesome at all.
The Zhang family immediately cleaned up their hands and feet and set off again.
Because of what happened last night, all the men raised their vigilance, but the pace of the road did not slow down at all.
Looking at the fields on both sides of the road that had been gnawed by locusts, everyone was concerned, and they also saw groups of begging people on the road, but these people saw that the men in the team of twenty people accounted for more than half, and they did not dare to rob openly, but just leaned over to beg for some food.
Although these people looked pitiful, the Zhang family didn't dare to stop, and the victims who stretched out their hands to take the opportunity to take the sheep were beaten out by a ripple stick.
Ripples just beat people away instead of injuring them, that is, they were given leeway, and they could be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys, and sure enough, some people saw that the girls in the team were not easy to mess with, so the timid ones naturally retreated, and the bold ones only followed from afar, wanting to wait for them to relax before making a move.
Since hitting the road, Ripple has taken off the white veil on his face, exposing the terrifying right side of his face, first, there is no need to hide it, and secondly, it is to scare off some people.
There are always people who think that the girl with the veil is a beautiful girl, and it is difficult to keep some bad intentions, so she simply shows her ugly face, so that these people don't want to see the second look after the first look.
The Zhang family is used to the ripple face, and they all know that the injury on the ripple face is much lighter than when they first returned to Zhangjia Village.
Since the family is used to seeing it, outsiders will still be scared, so after the ripples whipped people away, there were many fewer people around them, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boss! Pick up the pace! Anyone who can come down and walk down for a while, and then rest after this section! ”
Old man Zhang got off the cart by himself, took two steps, and said to Zhang Zhong, who was the head.
"Yes, Dad!"
The eldest daughter-in-law, Xin, put her youngest daughter on the cart and joined the cart with her two sons.
It was really thrilling just now, if it weren't for the ripples coming with such a hand, it is estimated that their entire team would have been blocked by the beggars who slowly surrounded them.
Ripple is carrying a solid wooden stick, walking back and forth in the team, she asked Song Dachuan to protect Huiniang and Huzi, and she took care of the entire team.
The group hurried for two hours, leaving the place where the victims had gathered, and after leaving those who had no strength to follow, they slowed down slightly.
"Master, it's not safe to rest now, taking advantage of the fact that there are few people now, everyone takes turns to eat their stomachs, and we have to continue to hurry."
Ripple walked to Old Man Zhang's side with a stick and whispered.
Because of the hand that Ripple Dew, Old Man Zhang was also willing to listen to his granddaughter's opinion.
"That's what I mean, I see that a few of those people don't look at us right, maybe we'll have to travel overnight tonight."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Old Man Zhang can also see some ways, so he agrees with Ripple's rhetoric.
"They're still following us from afar!"
Ripple also found these people, although these people were dressed in tatters, but they didn't look like victims who had been hungry for a long time.
