Chapter 101 Robbed
Two days later.
The practice of exchanging labor for food spread from one person to another, and soon spread farther and farther, attracting more refugees.
Food is limited.
But human wisdom is infinite.
Liuzi and his friends used the wood collected by the refugees to quickly make a flatbed cart, while Granny Jiang and Yu Fugui led people to weave straw ropes, straw sandals, and baskets.
Chen Gang also joined in. He organized new personnel with some guards and sharpened a lot of sharp wooden arrows.
Su Linhua, Nian Qiu and others, together with the maids and old women, secretly made a lot of steamed buns, steamed bread and biscuits, and put salt in them. Not only are they easy to preserve, but they also don't take up much space. Everyone in the team carried a few with them, so that everyone felt safe.
Su Chengnan walked over and Nanny Han held her back.
"Miss, put two on you too."
"I don't need it." She refused. There were so many things in the space that she couldn't finish eating them. There was no need for her to take up everyone's food.
"Take it. It's said that everyone has one."
“Here!”
After spending some time with her, Nanny Han's attitude has changed a lot. She speaks to her more intimately and it's obvious that she's really treating her well.
In fact, she also helped to enlighten the lady in private, but unfortunately the lady was confused these days, her personality was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she gradually became less talkative.
"Okay, I'll take two too."
"Thank you, Mammy."
Su Chengnan was stubborn and had to accept it. She planned to secretly feed it to Goudan. The child was being watched by Mr. Sun to memorize his lessons. He was told to make up for the lessons he had missed in the past few days. This made the other children in the Su family complain bitterly.
“Boom—”
“Dongdong——”
At this time, the sound of gongs was heard in the distance.
Oh no, something happened!
Jia Yi came running over from nowhere, "Miss, please get in the carriage. There are two long and one short sounds. Something is wrong."
"Hurry up and let everyone pack up and get on the road."
"Okay, get in the carriage first."
Qingshan and Ashun also ran out of the tent. The gong sound was the signal they had agreed on early in the morning. Now all
After hearing this, the guards started to move.
The people didn't understand what was going on and were frightened by the crowd. They haven't finished the work at hand yet and don't know what to do next.
Su Chengnan held up her skirt, jumped onto the wooden pier, and shouted, "Don't panic, if you want to follow us north, follow us, if you don't want to, leave immediately."
"ah--"
"What should I do?"
"I'll go with you! You have more people, weapons and food, so your chances of survival are always greater."
"Yes! Me too!"
A few men stood up and expressed their opinions first, but the people around them tried to persuade them not to do so.
"Are you crazy? This is heading north!"
"It's freezing cold in the north, and we have to go through Mincheng. What if a fight breaks out?"
The man pulled his arm out with all his strength and frowned, saying, "Let's fight if we want. If Mincheng is really occupied by the white bears, do you think Dayong will be fine? It will still be in chaos."
"I'll follow them and use my strength to earn a meal, which is better than going hungry. Mincheng won't let us in, do you think Luocheng will let us in? Refugees are refugees wherever they go!"
What he said made sense. Some people around him were moved and walked silently into the team, expressing their attitude with their actions.
The action plans had been arranged by Su Chengnan long ago, and the guards were responsible for their own small tasks and the number of people. Throw the things onto the numbered flatbed truck, tie them up with ropes, and run back and forth two or three times to finish the work.
Yi Er ran back panting, sweat dripping down his forehead, "Hurry up, there's a fight going on in Min City. There are cavalrymen from the White Bear Country, setting the city on fire!"
"What?!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
Ah Shun jumped on his horse and set off with the team first. Su Chengnan and others followed behind and got on the carriage.
When the wheels of the carriage began to turn, she was still worried about the people, so she leaned out half of her body and shouted, "There is a war in Mincheng, you should flee quickly."
"Escape? Where should I escape to?"
"This is a chaotic world!"
"It's only been a short time since the new emperor took the throne. Will he take care of it?"
Many people have been growing crops all their lives, but now faced with the chaos of war, they have lost their backbone and in panic have no choice but to follow the convoy.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. The Ningyuan Palace is both the royal family's and the general's mansion. Besides, there are so many guards with knives and sticks in front of us. It is better than running around aimlessly.
"Come on, let's catch up."
"Are you really leaving?"
"If you don't leave, you're going to die!"
"Hey! Okay, then let's all go together! With more people we might even have a better chance of winning."
The refugees had been hungry all the way, and the two of them relied on the porridge stalls for some fish and meat. After they were full, they had strength and their stomachs were no longer empty. Now I walk faster than before.
"The people who followed us picked up some wood and stones on the road as weapons, did you hear me?"
“I heard it!”
There was a loud rustling sound and everyone ran to both sides, picking up whatever they saw. They made sure their hands were not empty.
"Hurry, walk faster."
"Hey, yeah, okay."
A lot of wood was put on the flat board that was hastily made in the past two days. Su Chengnan asked Gangzi to give instructions without hesitation, "Throw away the non-lethal things they picked up and take the wood."
“Does it still need to be recycled?”
Su Chengnan was about to cry because of this guy's stupidity, "Life is more important! What do you want to do with the wood? To add to the transportation burden?"
Gangzi scratched his head and lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Hurry up and spread the word. If we encounter an enemy army, the people should not attack the people, but the horses. Hit the horses' legs and heads! If we kill one, we will have one more horse meat to eat!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Gangzi spurred his horse back. When the news spread, the people were shocked and frightened. Are they really going to fight a war? The key point is what horse meat tastes like. No one has ever eaten it.
Su Chengnan didn't care about that. Telling them about this kind of thing earlier would plant a seed in their hearts. As long as it could reduce the possibility of them running around in the battlefield and the possibility of their guards getting injured, it would be enough.
Professional things should be left to professionals. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. As long as A Shun, Qing Shan and Jia Yi and a few others can kill the enemy's generals in the first place, then the rest of the things will no longer be a problem.
Gangzi went and never came back. He ran back and forth repeatedly, asking himself and answering his own questions loudly:
“What if someone from the White Bear Country rushes over?”
"Let's beat them hard!"
"Who made us lose our home?"
"It's these damn foreigners!"
"Do you guys want to do them?"
"want!"
"Okay! Let's beat them hard in a moment!
"Good! Good! Good!"
There were many old people and children among the people. How could they have the courage to fight against the cavalry of the White Bear Country? But the voices of the young and energetic men around them became louder and louder, and courage slowly began to emerge in their hearts.
