Chapter 32: The Deserters
"Look, I'll just say that this surnamed Liu has a plan, can he offend people for no reason!"
Lin Xiaojia muttered behind his back, "We were in a hurry, didn't he also throw the Song family down, didn't he just run to that car!" ”
"I didn't expect this surnamed Liu to be so scheming!"
Other people also feel this way, but they don't dare to shout loudly, in case they offend Liu Guisheng, what if they don't show you if they are sick in the future?
In addition to some brainless complainers, there are also some people who have more eyes, speculating whether the Song family will have nails in their hands.
One by one, they were secretly pondering how to do it so that the Song family could give them some nails.
The price of this nail is not particularly high, but for no reason, Song Jinyue is too lazy to be that bad good person, her current identity is Song Jinyue, not the mysterious person.
However, in addition to Liu Guisheng's family, the other three families who helped them on the mountain before could take some nails and give them them.
Expressing their thoughts to their families, the Song family agreed.
"Cheng, I'll send them over!"
Song Hailong grabbed a handful of nails, and then went to the place where the three families rested, at the beginning, all five of them got sleeping bags, this thing is big, it is very troublesome to carry, and it can be much easier with a flat car.
The other families didn't expect that the Song family would send them nails, they were all surprised, and they naturally thanked Song Hailong again and again.
At dawn, all five families had flat cars, which was envious of other families.
"Alas, I knew that I should have walked around with the old Song family more in the first place!"
Guan Laosan looked at those flat cars and was also envious, but he only made useful people in his life, who would have thought that the Song family, who was poor and white, almost all old, weak, sick and disabled, would have such good luck.
Several families have flat cars, and they feel very easy to catch up with the road.
The children sat on the flat car, pushed by the adults, and when they were sleepy, they got into their sleeping bags and lay down for a while, and there was a lot of laughter and singing along the way.
"After driving for so long, I still can't even see a figure!"
"I guess they're all fucking dead!"
"Alas, do we really have to go to the capital, what if there is not enough food?"
After rushing for more than ten days, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and many people began to plan to be that someone had a yamen somewhere, and then settled on the spot, the royal city was too far away, and they had to walk for a month.
But it's been half a month, and there is still no figure, which makes them panic.
Xu Tiansheng sat on the ground with blank eyes, he kept wondering, will his father be gone, so what will he do in the future?
Now that he has been with Shen Hong's family for so long, the family has begun to dislike him, and they have avoided him several times when they eat, if he hadn't saved a jade pendant from Song Haitao, he would have starved to death.
Mrs. Song's daily practice is to save if she can, there are many people in the family, and most of the food brought on the mountain has been consumed, and she can almost stick to Wangcheng if she saves some food.
After walking for about twenty days, everyone finally saw people on the way forward, but, like them, they also fled
"Brother, let me inquire, where are you going?"
Song Hailong grabbed a person and asked.
The man was leaning forward, his face was sallow, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked very weak, and he was pulled by Song Haishan, revealing displeasure.
Seeing this, Song Jinyue took a raw potato over, "Answer honestly, and it will be yours after that." ”
When the man saw the potato, a deep light came out of his eyes.
"Go south, where you can accept people!"
"That's it!"
His answer disappointed everyone, and there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but this time it was completely shattered.
With the light of Song Jinyue's potatoes, the people of Stone Village surrounded this person and asked nonsense, although the person was impatient, but considering that Song Jinyue had not given him potatoes, they all answered one by one, and when everyone finished asking, Song Jinyue gave him the potatoes, and he hurriedly hid to the side to make a fire and roast potatoes.
The villagers of Stone Village are in a heavy mood, they can't think that the current situation is so bad, this year except for the south, the rest of the places are not very good, the famine is almost nationwide, there is no flood around, but the imperial court has not sent food, and many people have died of starvation.
Moreover, they also found out an important information, the country won the war, a month ago, that is, when the flood occurred in the north, the empire came in from the west, and when the country was in danger, a young general led his troops to repel the enemy, and the war was temporarily calmed down.
In this comparison, everyone couldn't help but think that they were lucky in the mountains, and they couldn't help but miss the mysterious people when they looked at these down-and-out, skinny escapees.
As the journey progressed, the people of Stone Village encountered more and more deserters, at first one or two, and then in groups.
They also found that the villagers of Stone Village were carrying food in their hands, showing covetous expressions.
"Okay guys, we haven't eaten in days!"
"Please, give me something to eat!"
A bunch of people rushed into the team where Stone Village was, and when they saw people, they asked for things, and even made gestures to go up and grab food.
"Fuck off, I'm hungry!"
Guan Laosan had a violent temper and knocked the person who came up to ask for it to the ground.
"Just give us something to eat!"
"Please!"
They pleaded, but their movements were extremely rude, pulling the thin women and children and pulling them out of their pockets.
At this moment, it completely angered the people of Stone Village.
"Made, don't be ashamed!"
"Everybody take the guy out and me!"
Seeing that they couldn't keep these foods, the people of Stone Village were red-eyed, took out the stone axes made on the mountain, and were about to fight with this group of people.
If they don't die, their whole family will starve to death.
The Song family also took out an axe, and it was an axe without looking at the people who came to grab food.
Like Guan Laosan and others, they are even more ruthless, and they greet people directly, Shicun has eaten well these days, and their bodies are in this condition, these people have been hungry for so many days, where are the opponents of Guan Laosan and others.
Suddenly, there was a terrible scream in the ranks, and people kept falling, and the ground was covered with blood.
"Ah, don't!"
"I, I'll go!"
"No, no."
Seeing that these people were really moving, and there were too many people on the other side, and they all had weapons, the escapees who were not dead hurriedly begged for mercy and fled.
"Noise, I'm covered in blood!"
"We have to be careful about the next road!"
After experiencing this, everyone is also a lot more vigilant, and those who are hungry and anxious will lose their minds.
Due to the fierce fight just now, everyone had blood on their clothes, and they all carried axes, giving people a bad look, and the next day, no one dared to come over to find trouble.
At night, everyone takes turns keeping vigil, and the daytime is too scary.
"Hey, did you hear anything?"
Song Hailong's face was shocked, and he looked at the people who were keeping vigil together.
"Phew, what's that sound like?"
"You must have been scared during the day, were you?"
The rest of the group half-jokingly said that they didn't hear anything.
Song Hailong said a little anxiously: "Wait, you listen, the footsteps are very light......"
