Chapter 88: I can't bear it anymore One more
Although Village Chief Xu realized that the danger of going on the road with the Yao family was far greater than the advantage of taking advantage of it, it was not so easy to separate, at least before Yao Changming's youngest son was in good health, they couldn't open this mouth here, and even if it did, the Yao family would not agree.
also offended the Yao family, and was scolded for not knowing how to lift.
Village Chief Xu thought optimistically, maybe when the Yao family didn't need Dr. Jiao to see a doctor, he would take the initiative to leave them first, and this possibility was still very high, after all, walking with their team of escaping famine, not only did not save face, but also slowed down the speed of their mules and horses, which was completely thankless.
However, he was still naΓ―ve.
There is still a big distance between theory and imagination and reality, what he thinks, after all, is what he thinks, and the development of things is not as he expected.
Until three days later, Yao Changming's son Yao Bing was able to get out of the car to have fun, and the Yao family's convoy did not reveal the slightest intention of parting ways with Xujiacun.
At this moment, Village Chief Xu was inevitably a little anxious.
Taking advantage of the noon stop in a forest to bury a pot to make rice, Village Chief Xu twisted his brows and came to Xu Huaiyi to discuss things, "What do they mean?" Is it still up to us? What do we have to make them want to figure it, this disease is also optimistic, you can't curse your own children to get sick again, right? β
This they naturally refer to the Yao family.
In the past few days, Village Chief Xu's awe of the big family has been smoothed out a lot, and he seems a little impatient, of course, he still doesn't dare to reveal it on the surface, so he can only complain a few words in private.
Not only him, but the other villagers also have some opinions in their hearts, mainly because they are too unfree, although Xu Huaiyi led the team before, and Xu Huaiyi had the final say with the village chief, they passively obeyed orders, but the arrangement of the two of them is reasonable, they are all for their consideration, these days are good, they are almost becoming the servants of the Yao family.
There is no personal freedom at all.
The Yao family has the final say on everything, the Yao family wants to rest, they have to stop together, the Yao family wants to go, no matter what they are doing, they are all driving them to keep up, the most excessive is that at noon and night, the Yao family's dart master and the nursing home, enclose them in one place, and they are not allowed to wander around, saying that they will collide with the Yao family's female dependents.
What is this? They are not prisoners.
Moreover, they still have to collect firewood for cooking, and they also want to look around for some wild vegetables to eat, and the children, who are always kept in captivity, are choked enough, and the adults do not dare to speak loudly.
These situations, Village Chief Xu knows, Xu Huaiyi has naturally seen it in his eyes for a long time, but he watched coldly, and he didn't have the idea to solve it, he had to let them deeply understand that cheap is not so easy to get into, eat other people's food, look at other people's faces, serve other people's bowls, and be managed by others.
Now that he heard that Village Chief Xu finally couldn't bear to come to him, he said unhurriedly, "I guess, the Yao family really plans to tie up with us and go to the capital." β
"What?" Village Chief Xu was surprised and puzzled, "Why?" β
Xu Huaiyi stirred the porridge in the pot and said casually, "Of course it's profitable." β
Village Chief Xu's heart jumped, "What are they trying to do with us?" What can we have, no silver, no food......"
Xu Huaiyi said lightly, "We have someone." β
Village Chief Xu was stunned, and after a while, when he reacted, his face changed, and he couldn't speak very neatly, "You, you mean, they want to use us to prevent disasters?" β
Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Although the Yao family has hired a dart master and a nursing home, it is enough to deal with small groups of mountain bandits, but what if they encounter large-scale robbers?" Even if they can deal with it, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, especially since they also brought so much food and silver, as well as female dependents, these are the hardest hit areas for people to rob, but if they are tied to us, they can share a large part of the disaster for them, and more importantly, we have people, not to mention women and children, who can pick up machetes and go into battle, and there are seventy or eighty of them casually, even if they are not as good as the dart master, but a few can not beat one? β
After a pause, he reminded again, "Look at the refugees who are following us, how stumbling, but the Yao family hasn't driven them away, why?" Isn't it for a critical time, to launch to block cannon fodder? β
After hearing this, Village Chief Xu gasped, "This, this, this intention is too vicious......
Xu Huaiyi pulled the corners of his mouth, "What kind of viciousness is this?" In the eyes of those of them, the lives of the poor people are like mustard, where is their value? β
Therefore when they die, they die, and they die for them, and they die as they deserve.
Village Chief Xu was originally squatting, but after hearing this, he sat directly on the ground, rubbing his old face with both hands, and only after a long time did he have some strength, eagerly grabbing Xu Huaiyi's hand, like a life-saving straw, "Huaiyi, you have a good brain, think of a rut, we have to quickly separate from them, the farther away the better, we can't get ...... anymore"
Xu Huaiyi didn't shirk this time, "Okay, I'll think about it when I go back." β
In fact, he already had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't just say it.
After Village Chief Xu staggered away, Gu Huanxi walked back with his daughter, drank preserved egg porridge, and asked, "Finally can't bear it anymore?" β
Xu Huaiyi smiled and said "um", "It's a little earlier than I expected." β
"When will you be separated from them?" Not only do the villagers feel unfree and restricted, but Gu Huanxi is also annoyed enough, she is a female dependent, but she is not too restricted, but there are more dart masters and nurses of the Yao family, and she wanders around, and her reputation is not good, so in the past few days, her range of activities has really narrowed a lot, and it is difficult to take a few photos secretly, and the people hired by the Yao family are not easy to bluff.
"Tomorrow." Xu Huaiyi said, stuffing a baked pot cake into her hand, and the meat sauce in it was full of filling, "Eat more, you've lost weight recently." β
Gu Huanxi raised her hand and touched her face, she lost weight? She obviously gained two pounds, okay! On the way to escape from the wilderness, she can still grow meat, and she is the only one in the whole team.
Who told her that her only physical activity is to walk around with her daughter, increase her knowledge, and the rest of the time, either sit in the car and read the book, and when her eyes are tired, she will open the window to look at the scenery outside, or she will lean on the recliner to drink tea and play chess, and teach her son by the way.
This day is more comfortable than traveling in the previous life, and it is strange that it does not grow meat.
Eat and drink enough, the small class started again, Xu Changbai continued to teach literacy, teaching ten at noon every day, to see the children's receptivity, can remember a few count, this is not a formal school, there is no way to come step by step, this belongs to assault intensive training, cramming learning, so, how much can be learned, it completely depends on personal ability, after all, when the capital settles down, the small classroom will be disbanded, there is no need to engage in long-term planning.
Liu Xiuwen still taught everyone arithmetic, and he fiddled with the beads on the abacus while explaining those abacus formulas.
It's too difficult, the villagers can't learn it, they can only understand some algorithms like addition and subtraction, which is barely enough, but there are a few big hearts, and they went to Liu Shishi to help make an abacus, which was used to practice on the road, so that when they arrived in the capital, they went to find work to do, wouldn't it be advantageous?
