“You, you and that woman are not normal people!
Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk to you.
The forest is littered with the bodies of refugees. We should leave as soon as possible. I checked these people and found that there was almost no hope of saving them. They were all killed with one blow. "
"Well, let's wait for them in the town ahead."
The carriage started to move slowly, and the man in the carriage reached out and gently touched a red rope in his hand. There was a wooden bead on the red rope.
This was what he took off the woman's wrist when he fell off the cliff that day.
I wonder if the people who were sent out have any news about her?
Chaoge ran all the way away from this place of trouble.
There was not a single woman in that group of people. Except for the smiling doctor, all of them were guards.
At first glance, they didn't look like a wealthy family who had migrated their entire family because of a famine. Chaoge thought it was best not to provoke such people if possible.
What's more, because of them, she had the opportunity to climb into the cave again and secretly took away the three boxes of gold against her conscience.
Even if they don't know it, people who have done something wrong always feel guilty.
She had never driven a carriage before, but fortunately the official road was wide enough. After a few times, she found the reins in her hands much more comfortable.
Such running around was also thanks to the well-behaved baby in her belly, or perhaps it was because of the stream in the space. Even though she was so tired every day and encountered so many dangers, he still stayed well in her belly without any trouble.
Chaoge ran seventy or eighty miles in one breath before he slowed down.
There were still quite a few refugees around at this time, but it was obvious that the mountains in the distance were becoming more and more green, and one could vaguely see quite a few refugees heading up the mountains, probably to look for food.
It took her 40 to 50 days to escape nearly a thousand miles, even though she had her own means of transportation. Moreover, many refugees fled from the northernmost border. The food they could eat must have been gone long ago.
After walking a few more miles, a small town finally appeared.
"Big sister, there are people selling food over there?!
Does this mean that there is no more famine here!?"
After opening the carriage curtain, Leng Furong and Leng Xiaoran leaned on the windows on both sides of the carriage, looking towards the official road outside a small town, and were surprised to find such an unexpected scene.
After walking for such a long time, not only Leng Furong felt curious, Chaoge felt the same!
There are indeed snacks for sale there, noodles, buns, wontons, porridge, sesame cakes...
Not only is there a wide variety of products, but the business is also booming, and there isn't even a scene of refugees looting!
"It seems that there is indeed no disaster here. There are fewer refugees who are lucky enough to get here. Even though there are still many, don't you see that there are soldiers guarding those stalls?
It was probably because of these soldiers that the refugees did not kill or rob people just for a bite of food like they had encountered before.”
"There are still people selling food over there. If you can't afford food, you can sell your children."
Leng Liecheng was sitting on the horse, and a faint voice sounded. Leng Furong hurried to the window where Leng Xiaoran was lying and looked out.
Sure enough, the dental business is the best.
Many of those who were lucky enough to survive and walk here probably had no food or money left, and the only way out was to sell their children.
Maybe they don't want to, but they probably think that this way everyone has a chance to survive.
"Dad, I beg you, please don't sell me out.
We will be at Taichuan Prefecture soon. I heard that it is the fiefdom of King Ling. King Ling is kind and benevolent and will definitely make good arrangements for us.
It’s only a hundred or two hundred miles away, please, Dad!
Please don't sell me out!
Mom is dead, Dad, can you please not be so cruel?"
I was just planning to find a place to stop the carriage, take the three little ones to eat something, and then make some arrangements.
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from the human trafficking stall.
Without waiting for Chaoge to react, Leng Xiaoran excitedly tugged at the corner of Chaoge's clothes and pointed to the side of the human toothbearer's stall: "Sister, look, that, that's good, it looks like Uncle Dong!"
Leng Xiaoran was probably too surprised. The three-year-old boy stuttered a little when he spoke excitedly.
When Chaoge and the others looked over, they found that it was indeed an acquaintance.
However, Zhou Dong no longer had the villagers around him. He was the only one left, and his daughter Zhou Hehua.
Zhou Hehua knelt down in front of Zhou Dong and cried. Such scenes were countless beside the stall of the human traffickers.
They were all children or women who did not want to be sold, begging their families bitterly.
Zhou Dong's face was full of pain. He pulled up Zhou Hehua who was kneeling beside him and took her to the side: "Be obedient, so we can all survive.
We have been eating grass and tree bark these days, and your brother is seriously injured. Can you please stop being so selfish?
If I sell you, not only will you have a place to go, but you will also have food to eat so that you can survive.
Only by selling you can your brother and I survive.
Lotus, it’s not that dad is cruel, it’s that God is too cruel.
You were captured by bandits, and everyone knows about it. You, you, your body...”
At this point, Zhou Dong's eyes turned red and he was too embarrassed to continue.
The more Zhou Hehua listened, the more painful she felt. She squatted on the ground, covered her ears, and burst into tears.
Looking at the scene not far away, Chaoge sighed silently. He didn't expect that Zhou Dong's family would be so miserable after separating from them.
Although Zhou Dong had selfish motives, they were still companions on the journey. Chaoge was not such a saint as to give everyone some silver, but it was still easy for her to give them food.
“Sister, Lotus is so pitiful.
It turns out that Aunt Zhang is dead, and Brother Daqiang is seriously injured. I want to help them."
These words were not said by Leng Furong, but by the little Leng Xiaoran.
As he spoke, Leng Xiaoran continued to rummage in his lapel and actually took out a gold lock.
Don’t even mention this thing, maybe even the original owner doesn’t know about it!
Seeing the boy take out a gold lock directly, Chaoge hurriedly squatted down and stuffed it back to him.
“I am very happy that my younger brother is kind, but when helping others, you should also consider whether the other person deserves it?
We have received a lot of help from Brother Daqiang before, and we should repay them if we are able to do so, but remember, you are a child.
Never take out valuable things from children casually, as it may cause fatal disasters if you are not careful.
This thing is too valuable, and if nothing unexpected happens, it must have been prepared for you personally by your mother.
From now on, you must not take it out casually. Keep it away carefully and don’t let anyone see it.
No, you are too young. I’d better keep it for you. When you are as big as your brother, I will give it to you, okay?
As for helping them, aren't there my eldest sister, my brother and my second sister here?"
Leng Xiaoran is too young. How can Chaoge stifle his kindness?
