019. Moving
From this day on, Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan for two consecutive days, with some small gifts, to say goodbye to some familiar villagers in the village.
In the middle, Ren Pingsheng went back to Earth again and brought back the steel crossbow and horizontal knife sent by viagra.
On November 13 of the lunar calendar, it is advisable to travel and move.
Ren Pingsheng took Xiao Wan, Sledgehammer, Liu Qiang, Lao Liu, Liu Shu, and the dart master Liu Shicheng and his two buddies to gather in front of the cave at the village gate.
The village chief and dozens of villagers gathered here to see off Ren Pingsheng and a few people.
After saying goodbye to each other one by one, a group of nine people embarked on the road to Qingcheng Town.
Sledgehammer carries a huge travel bag and is still at ease. In his hand, he was still dancing with the 36-kilogram iron rod that Ren Pingsheng gave him.
This iron rod is wrapped with brass at both ends, similar to Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, and there are anti-slip dark lines on it, Ren Pingsheng was originally used for self-defense, but his strength obviously does not match this iron rod.
Put it in the hands of the sledgehammer, but it is a dancing tiger and a tiger, so happy!
This stick slammed down with the force of a sledgehammer, not to mention those slow-moving living corpses, even if it was a tiger in the mountains, I was afraid that it would have to be hammered to the brain.
Liu Qiang and Lao Liu also couldn't put it down, fiddling with the steel crossbow in their hands and the horizontal knife on their backs.
In the past, Liu Qiang and Lao Liu were already extremely hot when they saw Ren Pingsheng's steel crossbow!
Now, Ren Pingsheng actually gave each of them a steel crossbow, as well as a horizontal knife on his back, which is even more fierce, blowing hair and breaking hair, chopping iron like mud, it is definitely a divine weapon, a priceless treasure!
If they sell it for silver, they feel that they may not be able to spend it in their lifetime!
This is the grace of knowing the encounter, so that they can't help but immediately go into battle to kill the enemy, in order to repay the benefactor's affection.
Looking at the steel crossbow treasure knife, it was the iron rod in Chen Dazhui's hand, which made Liu Shicheng and the three of them envious, and they couldn't wait to get it.
"Wang! Woof! Roar~~Roar~~"
The barking of the dog attracts everyone's attention.
A few roadside dogs bared their teeth and roared in their throats as they looked at everyone, their fierce eyes not like dogs, but like wolves.
The two corpses on the side of the road, their calves and stomachs were gnawed out of the bone sticks.
I don't know if it was a human who gnawed it, a living corpse who gnawed it, or these beasts in front of me.
"Woohoo! Shout! ”
Several dogs, who were not able to measure themselves, were directly nailed to death by the arrows fired from the steel crossbow.
The sixth took out the horizontal knife on his back and went to the side of the road to collect the crossbow arrow inserted in the dog.
"Over the years, it has been either a big cold or a big flood, the winter is getting colder and colder, and I don't know how many people will die from natural and man-made disasters."
Liu Qiang looked at the corpse that was broken on the side of the road, and the internal organs and intestines were taken out, and he couldn't help but hurt it, and sighed.
Everyone went on the road again, and when they were about to arrive at the tea stall in Xiaowang Village, they suddenly heard the vibration sound of "rumbling" on the road.
On the side of the road, I soon saw a group of more than a dozen soldiers on horseback galloping from a distance.
They were dressed in armor, armed with long knives, and had two swords around their waists. The blood stains on the blade were faint, just a dozen horses, the evil spirit was wanton, and the hooves shook to the ground, and it burst out with a shocking momentum!
When they staggered, the leader glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
In a matter of moments, a dozen or so horses were already whizzing by, leaving only dust flying and difficult to see.
"The people of the Imperial City Guard!"
Liu Shicheng squinted and said.
"Imperial City Guard?"
When Ren Pingsheng heard the new name, he couldn't help but ask.
"In addition to the soldiers of the government and the border army, there are also the three major guards of the Snapdragon Division, Nanyang Wei and Huangcheng Wei, which belong to the direct management of the palace.
This imperial city guard has the right to defend the imperial power and supervise the hundred officials, and the three Davids are all privileged institutions, and the flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, and flintlock short gun are all standard equipment of the imperial city guard.
However, in the past, the clean-up work of this official road was maintained and cleaned up by local officials and local government soldiers, and the imperial city guard appeared here, and it seemed that he was still cleaning up the dead and living corpses on the road, which was rare in the past. ”
Liu Shicheng explained: "It seems that there are not enough soldiers and errands in this government, otherwise how would these grandfather soldiers come to do these things." ”
The team continued on its way.
Because it was almost to Qingcheng Town, there were more hungry people on the road.
The crops in Beiwan Province have failed, rebellions have broken out, thieves and soldiers have rebelled, you chase me and fight, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and the people who can't survive can only choose to leave, at least this winter, the refugees on this road will not decrease.
In order to divert and divert the flow and prevent the formation of new rebellions, the province ordered the cities along the route to give soup for disaster relief, and wherever they were close to the cities, there would be no shortage of refugees, which had become a pitiful or disgusting "scenery".
"Son!"
When it came to the people's mouth, there was a cry - this cry was not very loud, and the whimper was uncomfortable.
The woman was holding the head of a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, and beside her a little girl of eight or nine years old, kneeling on the ground with a small gourd, trying to give the boy water.
The young man's teeth were clenched, his face was pale, and his body was stiff, resembling a dried corpse.
The large army of refugees in front of them has already left them, and if they don't catch up with them, there will be no one to support them, and they are afraid that they will freeze to death and starve to death on the side of the road sooner or later.
"Sixth."
Ren Pingsheng shouted and pointed to the mother and son.
The sixth nodded and walked up to the servant: "I'll take a look." ”
In the expectation of the woman and the child, the sixth child touched the young man's neck, then took off his fur coat and draped it on the young man's body.
"Sir, it's still airy, it's freezing."
The sixth turned around and shouted.
"Take it with you."
Ren Pingsheng said.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
As soon as she heard this, the woman knew that she had met a noble person today, so she knelt down and kowtowed.
The girl also hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her.
The sixth handed over the horizontal knife to Liu Qiang, and carried the fluttering boy on his back.
The woman dragged Xiao Ni with her.
"Fleeing?"
Ren Pingsheng asked.
"Master, I came from Beiwan over there, originally a family of seven, only my mother is left here, if I am gone, I just die and I don't know how to go down to tell me to go home, I, thank you, sir."
In the future, I, Erniu, and Xiao Cui'er's life will be sold to you, master, you must not dislike us, we have strength, we can farm, can plow the field for you, I can cook, weave, shoe, paper-cutting, ······"
The woman knew that the people in front of her were the masters, and judging by the clothes they were wearing, they must be wealthy.
If they abandon it, there is only one way left for the mother and son, and this thigh naturally tries its best to hold on.
After listening to this woman's answer and the level of her speech, she knew that it was an ordinary family, and it should not cause any trouble.
There is a lot of power in people, anyway, it is the time to use people, and the women and children of the family are easy to control, so they nodded and said: "You will follow in the future, what is your name?" ”
"Sun Qiaomei, sir, if you don't think it sounds good, just change my name."
Sun Qiaomei hurriedly said.
"It's good."
Ren Pingsheng looked ahead, and the group had already arrived in Qingcheng Town.
