The young ladies of the Lian family heard about Jiang Tao and asked Jiang Huaixu to tell them what he saw and heard in the town.
Jiang Huaixu, who was not full to begin with, ate a lot of snacks and was a little full in the end.
After returning from the Lian family, their camp was no longer as lively as before, replaced by the occasional rustling of human voices and the night cries of unknown birds in the distance.
Jiang Huaixu did not return to the tent, but walked to a crooked tree not far from the camp, climbed up the tree in two quick strokes, and sat on it to listen to the movements of Liu Sanrong and Widow Qiao on the screen.
She figured out how to use the mechanical flying insects herself. The introduction only said that they could enter the target person's brain and cause severe headaches and tinnitus.
As for why the two had the illusion that telling the truth would relieve the pain, it was because she made a judgment based on their behavior. When she saw that they were not being honest, she increased the activity of the flying insects, and when she told the truth, it weakened it.
These two little things cost her 360,000 points. The advantage is that they can unbind the target person and recycle them. At present, they seem to be very suitable for monitoring and interrogation. However, the prerequisite for interrogation is that she has enough clues.
All in all it's a good deal.
Since there was no picture, she could only hear the heavy breathing of the two people, the occasional painful groan, and the weak cry of the child in between.
Just as she was about to turn it off, she heard noisy, heavy footsteps coming from Widow Joe's direction.
Someone said, "Hey, why is there a woman lying here? Hiccup, there's also a child——"
Another person said, "This woman is pretty! Look at her little face, so white as snow."
"It seems to be that person, the widow who cuckolded the third son of the Liu family..."
"It's a bit dirty, but this woman is really... not as good as us?"
The lewd laughter that followed made Jiang Huaixu feel very uncomfortable. She frowned and turned off the monitoring of Widow Qiao.
It can be heard that Widow Qiao and her son were kicked out of the Liu family. When a woman meets two men who sound drunk, you can guess what will happen next with your toes.
This is not what Jiang Huaixu wants to see.
Even if Widow Qiao's legs were broken, it would be better than seeing her being abused. It's not that I sympathize with Widow Qiao, but I don't want to see a woman being humiliated in this way.
When Widow Qiao sold Jiang Tao and her daughter to a brothel, she probably never imagined that such a day would come upon her. This actually proved the saying that 'everything has its own providence'.
Jiang Huaixu increased the activity level of the flying insects on Liu Sanrong's side to the maximum, set the timer to one hour, and then turned off the light screen.
An hour of torture would probably take away half of Liu Sanrong's life.
An hour later, the two mechanical flying insects flew back to Jiang Huaixu like two stars falling into the mortal world, shining with white light. After putting them into the space, she jumped off the tree and walked towards the tent.
The next day, a special team of two to three hundred people joined the huge refugee group again.
All the refugees looked at them sideways, and seeing that they were all holding weapons, they did not dare to get too close.
Ten days passed in a flash. The daytime temperature remained unchanged, and the further we got toward Chongming Prefecture, the less water there was. After asking the locals, I learned it hadn't rained in over two months, and the drought only intensified the further we went.
There was drought in front and pursuers behind, and no matter how you looked at it, there was no way for them to survive. An atmosphere of panic spread among the crowd.
The vertical lines between Jiang Zhengmao's eyebrows became deeper day by day.
Until one day, a woman in the team ahead of them was kind enough to secretly give food to a child, but was snatched away by the refugees.
Crying, screaming, beating...all kinds of sounds intertwined together, composing a human tragedy.
After the refugees retreated, the team was dispersed and all their food and belongings disappeared. The bodies of many old people and children were scattered on the ground, and occasionally the bodies of young men or women could be seen.
The survivors were also injured. They did not bother to check their injuries, but just hugged the bodies of their loved ones and cried sadly. Their cries were connected as if they were about to converge into a river.
The deepest fear buried in the hearts of all those who witnessed this suddenly arose.
Jiang Zhengmao was extremely grateful for the "precautions" they had repeatedly emphasized along the way, and was also extremely relieved that there were no stupid people in the team, otherwise even if they had bows and arrows, they would not be able to withstand the attacks of so many refugees.
After this day, the originally relaxed team atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the evening, Jiang Huaixu took out the map that Yun Qi had given her and read it by the fire. After looking at it for a while, she waved to Yun Qi, signaling him to come over.
After Yun Qi came over, she asked, "Which road did you take from Chongming Prefecture to Huai'an Prefecture?"
They were now taking the official road, which was a popular route for refugees, as most of them took the route because if they took a detour, no one could be sure which hilltop would be infested with bandits.
If you are careful when walking with refugees, you may still survive, but if you encounter bandits, you will be in danger of death.
Yun Qi lowered his eyes to glance at the map, raised his hand and drew a line between Huai'an Prefecture and Chongming Prefecture, "The shortcut."
"Are there any bandits on the way?"
"have."
"Have you fought?"
"without."
Jiang Huaixu glanced at Yun Qi and understood that the bandits probably wouldn't dare to move if they met this person.
But to her, this person is unreliable.
Yun Qi wanted to hide his identity, and she couldn't reveal his identity and use his identity to protect the safety of the villagers. Not to mention that Yun Qi couldn't act like a prince now, she still had to think about the future.
What if he holds a grudge?
The gain is not worth the loss.
"How about we take a shortcut with so many people?"
Yun Qi raised his eyes to look at her, "Delivering rations to the bandits?"
"Do you believe me when I say I want to rob their rations?"
Yun Qi choked up and looked at Jiang Huaixu as if he were a madman.
Jiang Huaixu laughed awkwardly twice, "It's just bragging, just bragging."
She yelled at Jiang Erlang again, "Second brother!"
When Jiang Erlang came over, she said, "Second brother, wouldn't it be better for us to take the mountain road?"
Jiang Erlang thought for a moment and said, "The horses and donkeys will die of exhaustion."
Yun Qi pointed to two spots on the map. "The team is here. To the southeast is a valley with relatively flat terrain. Bandits love to gather in places like these because it's easy to strike. If we go through this area, we'll be far away from the official road and there won't be any high ground."
"So, is it possible to travel by carriage?"
Yun Qi nodded.
Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Erlang exchanged a glance. "Even though there are many bandits along this route, there are also plenty of water sources. We don't have to fight with other refugees when we come across water sources. Second brother, go talk to the village chief and ask him to discuss this with the adults."
Jiang Erlang agreed.
Jiang Huaixu looked at the busy crowd, his eyes sparkling with stars.
The villagers' good days are numbered, so she has to use her old skills to train these people.
