Chapter Thirty-Seven: Leaving Tonight
Liu Zhenhua looked at this scene, obviously the housekeeper was collecting from the tenants, how did these people take out the food in the year of the catastrophe.
Listening to the steward's words, he didn't think of the tenants as human beings at all, and said why they didn't starve to death
This reminded Liu Zhenhua of the victims in the movie 1942 who made trouble in the landlord's house.
A farmer who has been honest all his life will also change from a submissive person to a mob in an instant under certain circumstances, just like a spring that has been pressed to the limit, either unable to get up for a lifetime, or directly rebounding.
Liu Zhenhua thought of some words and whispered in Ren Zhuoyue's ear.
After Huangpu was completely gone, Liu Zhenhua led people forward, and after coming to the close place of the villagers, Ren Zhuo stepped forward and patted a man on the shoulder.
The man had a melancholy look on his face, looking at his temperament and age, but the wrinkles on his face were already the same as those in northern Shaanxi.
"What's wrong, who are you," he was obviously stunned after seeing Ren Zhuoyue.
They have stayed in Zhangjia Village all their lives, and they have been as far as Yanchuan County, and they basically can't see outsiders.
The man's words made the surrounding villagers react, and the appearance of hundreds of men turning their heads at the same time was quite oppressive, but Liu Zhenhua and others had killed a lot, so they were naturally not afraid of this momentum.
When the villagers saw Liu Zhenhua and others, especially Liu Zhenhua, they were dressed like ordinary people, maybe they were the young masters from other villages or the ministers from Yan'an, Yanchuan, and they came to their Zhangjia Village, maybe they were looking for the master of the Zhang family, and they suddenly didn't dare to look at them wantonly.
Even the man spoke politely to Ren Zhuo.
"Oh, that's the case, our young master wants to collect some grain, and a bucket of rice can be opened for three more than the price outside, so I want to ask, do you have more grain here."
If they go directly to talk about the affairs of the Zhang family, these villagers will not necessarily say anything, because if they think that Liu Zhenhua and others may have had a relationship with the landlord of the Zhang family, it will harm the interests of the landlords of the Zhang family, and they will not be able to bear this responsibility at that time.
That's why Liu Zhenhua asked Ren Zhuo to say this.
Hearing that he was going to collect grain, the man shook his head, "Why don't we poor people have food, and the wheat bran will be eaten." ”
"In a few days we will eat dirt."
They are right, everything that can be eaten in the house is eaten, and everything that can be eaten in the neighborhood is scavenged, so they have not seen anyone starve to death until now, but this situation will not last long.
If it weren't for the idea that they would be able to redeem the fields, they would have wandered around like the victims.
I can't hold on for much time at the moment, and that old man Zhang is persecuting them like this, maybe they will become disaster victims in two or three days.
"You go to our lord, our lord may have food."
The man said, this is not a big deal, and after a little inquiry, you will know who the landlord here is.
"Oh? You have lived so hard, and eating dirt will kill you. ”
Ren Zhuo looked surprised.
"What's the way to do it, I haven't eaten, there is no porridge shed in Yanchuan County, and I heard that a lot of victims were killed there two days ago."
The man shook his head, Huangpu said earlier that they should go to Yanchuan County, where do they dare to go, I heard in the past that they will be arrested as anti-thieves, and the blood at the door is paved with a road on the dry ground.
"It's so difficult," Ren Zhuo frowned, looking at the villagers.
"It's not a secret, my young master prepares food just to relieve the victims, aren't you any different from the victims?"
Ren Zhuo Zhuo looked at the villagers and said.
The villagers looked at Liu Zhenhua behind Ren Zhuo in surprise, and saw that this person's dress should be the young master in Ren Zhuo's mouth.
At present, this kind of worldly food is so precious, and there are still such good people?
"Really?"
A man who looked a little older asked, pushing aside the man in front of Ren Zhuozhuo.
"Really, my young master has been doing good deeds for many days, and he has rescued more victims than all of you in the village."
Ren Zhuo said with a proud expression on his face.
"I don't know where the young master is giving porridge?"
The man asked.
"Six miles east of Yanchuan, if you can't survive and have nowhere to go, you can go there to join my young master, and there will be porridge every hour," Ren Zhuozhuo said, and he also made a special emphasis.
"Remember, it's the hour, it's late, but there's nothing."
After that, without waiting for the villager to ask something, Ren Zhuo Zhuo turned his head and returned to Liu Zhenhua, and the group of four turned around and left.
"Young Master, will they come?"
Yang Lichao asked, he turned his head to look behind him, those people seemed to be still together, I don't know what they would think.
"Yes, these people have no food to eat, and there are no porridge sheds to put porridge around, looking at their appearance, they don't want to be homeless, they will definitely come to try their luck."
Liu Zhenhua said firmly, these people, to be precise, all the people in ancient times, from the princes and nobles to the common people of Limin, value the land very seriously.
The land of these villagers should be here, and if they don't want to leave, they can only believe Ren Zhuo's words once and go and see.
And will go early.
"I see."
Yang Lichao showed a clear expression.
......
The villagers of Zhangjia Village looked at the backs of Liu Zhenhua and the four of them, and Zhang San couldn't help but ask the person who had just pushed him away.
"Uncle Ability, what should I do, did you say that what that person said was true?"
Zhang Benshi's brows were almost twisted into a Chuanzi shape, "It's really fake, it's really the best, and we have to take a look at the fake." ”
He sighed, "Otherwise, what else can we do, we can't really be homeless, our grandfather's grandfather finally has a land here and a home, we can't wander around." ”
"But... Didn't we sell our land to Master Zhang? ”
Someone asked.
"Hammer you to death," Zhang Benshi waved his fist, "Aren't we thinking that we can redeem it?" It was a last resort to sell. ”
"Six miles east of Yanchuan County, it's not too late, let's go over and take a look, it won't take too long, even if it's fake, there's nothing to lose, if it's true, then don't you have to be homeless?"
Zhang said.
Everyone listened to Zhang Zheng's words, and immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and the place where Ren Zhuo Zhuo said was indeed not far away.
They only took more than half a day to come and go, and the next day was just in time for the evening to go.
"That's it, Zhang San, Zhang Heizi, let's set off in the second half of the night tonight, go over there to have a look, if it's true, we will take the villagers to get porridge the day after tomorrow," Zhang made a decision.
"Good!"
Zhang San and the others should make peace, this is indeed a way, I just hope that what the person said is true, and someone is really putting porridge over there.
