Chapter 126 Who are they?
Liu Shiqi looked at the group of fleeing people and observed them carefully.
She found that there were about forty of them.
Everyone was walking and their shoes were worn out.
Some people carried a small bag on their backs, but most people seemed to have nothing but tattered clothes on their backs.
Liu Shiqi looked more carefully and saw that they were fleeing.
But they didn't describe them as thin, just dirty.
There were a few women who were quite fat.
I guess the village chief is also a little confused.
But the middle-aged man sighed and said, "We have only been escaping for a short time!"
“Just over a month!”
"We actually live in Yangliu Town, under Ningwu County!"
"A month ago, there was a heavy rain and flood in our area, which collapsed all the houses."
"The crops in the fields were all destroyed..."
"Alas, I had no choice but to leave my hometown!"
The village chief nodded.
He had also heard that Ningwu had suffered a disaster.
It seems that these people came from that side.
Even so, I still felt that there was something strange about them.
She looked at these people suspiciously.
Finally, he looked at the women inside.
She stared at them for a few more seconds, and several women suddenly raised their heads and looked at her.
Their eyes lit up.
Obviously, no one expected that there would be such a beautiful little girl in this remote place.
Among them was a woman with a melon-seed face. After looking at Liu Shiqi a few times, she actually glared at Liu Shiqi.
Then he quickly looked away.
Liu Shiqi blinked and raised his eyebrows.
[Is that woman jealous of me?] 】
[No way?] No way? 】
[I’m still a little girl!] 】
[Even if I am good-looking, what does it matter to her? 】
Why is she glaring at me? 】
Liu Shiqi was confused by the glare.
She was a little unhappy and pulled old man Zhong's sleeve.
"Grandpa, come home!"
"What's so good about this?"
"Mother and aunt have prepared the meal and are waiting for you to come back and eat!"
"If you don't go back, none of us can eat!"
【I stewed two chickens today! 】
[I still want to eat chicken legs...]
When Old Man Zhong heard about chicken, he also became greedy.
"Okay, let's go back and eat!"
"Two chickens means four drumsticks!"
"Just wait a moment, don't fight with me for it again!"
Liu Shiqi curled his lips, "When did I rob you?"
She smiled and said, "I am the youngest in the family now and I am still growing. Can't I eat an extra chicken drumstick?"
Old Man Zhong glared at her, "But I am the elder!"
"I have to have a share of the legs too!"
Liu Shiqi snorted, "Then Grandfather, you can eat chicken wings!"
"Why do you always snatch chicken legs from me?"
Old Man Zhong shrugged, "Because I like chicken legs, not chicken wings!"
The two talked as they walked back, and from time to time they could hear the voices of people at the village entrance.
They heard it.
The village chief didn't plan to drive away the refugees.
Decided to be kind and help them.
But this is none of Liu Shiqi and the others’ business.
What they care most about now is going home to eat chicken.
Just had dinner.
After a while, Jiang Cuihua came.
She was obviously a little unhappy.
She pulled Hao and Bai Shuang aside and said.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"The village chief just notified everyone!"
"They asked each of us to donate two steamed buns to help those who were fleeing, saying that each family would accumulate merit."
"I said the village chief is just too idle!"
"If you want to gain fame, go do it yourself. Why drag us into it?"
"I have that steamed bun, how nice it is to eat it at home!"
The reason why Jiang Cuihua was so angry was that he didn't want to give out steamed buns.
Also, her family’s steamed buns are famous in the village for being big and very good.
The two steamed buns taken out here are probably bigger than the three at other people's houses.
Naturally she was not happy about it.
Hao and the others did not expect that the village chief would say this.
Liu Shiqi asked curiously, "Do all families provide steamed buns?"
"What if someone doesn't have steamed buns?"
Jiang Cuihua said, "If you don't have steamed buns, go and exchange them with people who have steamed buns."
"As for what to exchange for him, he doesn't care!"
"Each family must provide two anyway!"
Bai Shuang said with a smile, "Sister Cuihua, isn't it easy now?"
"Why don't you just take something and exchange it with someone else for two?"
Jiang Cuihua was stunned and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Yeah!”
"That's perfect. Do you have any extra ones at home? Change two for me!"
"I'll trade you the vegetables from my farm!"
Bai Shuang nodded, "Yes, yes!"
"Let's switch!"
"That's perfect. I want to eat some vegetables!"
So Jiang Cuihua went back happily to pick vegetables.
Hao sighed and said.
"well!"
“The world is tough!”
"Why would a bad person leave his homeland and flee for his life?"
Bai Shuang felt the same way.
"you do not say!"
“They are all suffering people!”
“There should be some old people and children inside!”
"I think we should prepare some old clothes and quilts from home that we don't wear anymore. We can send them to them later!"
"Although the weather is still warm now, it is still a bit chilly in the second half of the night!"
"Don't get sick from the cold again!"
Mrs. Hao nodded in agreement, "Yes, An'er, I kept all of Zheng'er and his friends' clothes when they were little!"
"I couldn't bear to throw it away before, and I couldn't bear to give it to others either!"
"Now that I think about it, there's no point in keeping those!"
"Why not just sort them all out and give them to them!"
"Just consider it as accumulating merit!"
Old Man Zhong also said, "I still have some unused medicinal herbs here, why not give them to them as well!"
"The elderly and children are weak..."
He paused before he finished speaking.
Liu Shiji also opened his eyes wide.
She said.
"No, no!"
"Grandfather!"
"Among those people just now! Did you see any children? Or old people?"
Old man Zhong narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "Not even a single child!"
"And there isn't a single old man!"
Liu Changying noticed that they looked strange and asked.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"What do you mean there are no children and no elderly people?"
Liu Shiqi explained.
"Just now, my grandfather and I saw those people fleeing at the entrance of the village, and I felt something was wrong!"
"But I can't tell!"
"Now I finally figured out what's wrong!"
"Among so many of them, there are no children or elderly people."
Old Man Zhong went on to say, "Most of the people who are fleeing have families with them. It can be said that they have elderly parents and young children to take care of!"
They also fled to other counties the year Liu Shiqi was born.
I've seen a lot of them, and they all come with families.
"But this group of people today!"
"They are all young and strong, even the women look very energetic!"
"This doesn't look like escaping at all!"
Liu Changying frowned, "What if he's not escaping?"
"Where could such a large group of people come from?"
"Or, what do they want to do?"
