Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Team Sets Off
He glanced at the way he came, and then at the refugees stationed in the same place, struggled a little in his heart, and suddenly pulled his legs and chased in the direction where Bai Xia and the others left.
"Little girl, please stay"
Seeing the backs of Bai Xia and the two from a distance, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
"What is he doing with him?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.
The refugee team was headed by Wang Xiucai, although he could not fully control these refugees, but with the affection of leading the way in the past few days, most of the refugees still believed in him.
So Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia chose to remind him.
Hopefully, he can find a better place to go with the refugees.
"Is there anything else going on with Xiucaigong?" Seeing that he was really in a hurry, Bai Xia and the two stopped.
"Little girl, little brother, dare to ask how do you two know that this road map is fake?" Wang Xiucai politely gestured.
Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan glanced at each other, and finally Li Xiuyuan stood up and explained: "The elders in my family have told me about some scenes in Quanzhou before, but I just think that this road map seems to be a little different from what my parents said."
In addition, the government has been acting a little strangely recently, so he reminded him, "Li Xiuyuan's words are neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not bite this picture to death, but it made Wang Xiucai believe that there was something wrong with this picture."
If he really said categorically that there was something wrong with this picture, maybe Wang Xiucai would have to doubt it.
Now I feel embarrassed.
"Dare to ask the little brother if he knows where else to go?" Wang Xiucai continued to ask.
Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia were dumb, if they knew what was a good place to go, why should they follow behind the ranks of refugees and grab their road map.
"Xiucaigong, let's not hide it, we got lost with the adults in the family, and we haven't been far away, and we don't know where the best place to go is now" Li Xiuyuan told the truth, but the reason for being lost was made up casually.
Wang Xiucai also remembered it at this time, and asked their adults at the first glance, and said that there were no adults at that time.
It turned out that he was lost with his family.
"Then I don't know where you two are going?" Wang Xiucai asked.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Bai Xia, but in fact, he didn't know where they were going next!
Bai Xia's plan was very simple, he still followed the refugee team, but he couldn't let them know that they were following.
They took out thousands of catties of food at one time, which had already provoked the eyes of some people, letting them know that they were at the back of the team, but they were afraid that they would be harassed.
And being targeted by refugees, her bed is not easy to take out, rather than pretending to leave, and then secretly following them later, which effectively avoids the end of being targeted by refugees.
"We're just looking for a random direction, and we don't know where we can go" Bai Xia lied without changing his face, and didn't intend to let Wang Xiu know their true intentions.
Wang Xiucai's face changed, and he felt that they were not telling the truth, so he had to reluctantly smile: "Then I won't disturb the two of you to hurry, thank you for the reminder."
After speaking, he walked towards the refugee team with some heavy steps.
"Isn't it a little bad that we deceive people like this?" Li Xiuyuan was a little reluctant to go.
Bai Xia glanced at him and said, "Then where do you say we are going to go?" ”
Li Xiuyuan choked, they didn't know the way, thinking of this, he lowered his head a little embarrassed, his fingers unconsciously pinched the sleeves of the cuffs, and rubbed them desperately.
Bai Xia glanced at him, as if when he was nervous or anxious, he would subconsciously pinch his cuffs and rub them vigorously.
She pinched her cuffs with her fingers herself.
Except for pinching a layer of sediment, I didn't feel very decompressed.
It's better to catch lice, and when you strangle to death, it's really decompressing.
Thinking of this, Bai Xia felt that his scalp was itchy, and he reached out and scratched it, but a black thing was stuck in the nail that he hadn't had time to trim, and it was still moving.
Bai Xia: ......
Really, she thinks she should save water first, this lice's hatchery, she can't bear it for a day.
Bai Xia was almost about to run away, and he didn't care about Li Xiuyuan, he turned around and left.
As soon as Bai Xia left, Li Xiuyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
Wang Xiucai returned to the refugee team with a heavy heart, and the refugees had already packed their things, found water, and got some food, so that these refugees, who had run out of ammunition and food, replenished their resources, and had hope for reaching Quanzhou alive.
"Xiucaigong, where is the little boy and the young lady?"
The sharp-eyed refugees saw Wang Xiucai go to Bai Xia and them, and greeted him when he came back.
Wang Xiucai naturally knew what they were thinking, and said lightly: "They're leaving."
"Why did you leave? I also have a quilt at home, a lot of old clothes, "an old dress in the poor family is also sewn and sewn, mended and mended, the adult wears the baby, and the baby wears it for the next baby."
I don't know how many years have worn tattered clothes, except that the poor can exchange them for something, but there is no precedent for exchanging money and food.
Finally, there was a way to exchange old clothes for food, and they tasted a little sweetness, but they told them that they were gone.
The refugee immediately regretted why he hadn't taken a few more old clothes to change.
Wang Xiucai looked in the direction of his house, and saw that the two five or six-year-old babies only had a pair of pants on their bodies, and their slightly black upper bodies were exposed to the sun, and they couldn't help but say slightly angrily: "Aunt Chen, the sun is very strong, and your two children will have sunburns if they go on like this."
"They're gone, but there's no way to change food, so let's hurry up and put on the clothes for the children, we're about to leave."
"Today's journey is less than sixty miles, and the official is to blame, but it is a fatal thing"
Wang Xiucai was already very upset, and when he saw that the Chen family's aunt had stripped the clothes on the child's body and planned to exchange them for food, his tone couldn't help but be heavier.
The aunt of the Chen family is just to survive for the family, so she picks up the child's clothes, mainly because there are not so many old clothes at home that can be changed.
Now that I can't change food, I naturally take my clothes back and put them on my children again.
Originally, there were a few families like her who picked up their clothes and were ready to exchange food with Bai Xia and the others, but when they heard Wang Xiucai say that they had left, they hurriedly put their clothes on the children.
Wang Xiucai's heart was heavy, he spread out the road map in his hand, his eyes lingered on the word Ganzhou, and finally closed it hard, closed his eyes and opened them again, and the complexity under his eyes was covered.
"The government is powerful, what can you do with these old and weak women and children?"
Faintly, he could be heard muttering.
After a quarter of an hour, the refugees were packed, loaded with water, pulled up the carts, replaced their worn straw sandals, and hurried in the direction indicated by the road map with hope for the future.
Bai Xia and the others were far away, almost to the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of the refugees below from a distance, shaking their heads and sighing: "It seems that Wang Xiucai still chooses a path to go to the dark."
