So they 'carefully selected' a bandit's den with fewer people to rob.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the bandit group was an old man, and Zhou Yidao had not yet taken out the butcher knife on his waist to scare people.
The old man fainted on the spot and died!
However, before the Zhou family could react, a group of people rushed down from the mountain, surrounded the old man, cried, and surrounded the Zhou family, accusing them of killing the old man.
I feel sad and guilty when I hear people cry.
There are people who sell their pity and those who want them to pay with their lives. Anyway, the bottom line is that no one cares about the people in the mountains after the old man goes there, so the Zhou family has to pay compensation.
But where does the Zhou family get the money? Money is more important than life.
Finally, annoyed by the noise, Zhou Yidao shouted angrily: "At worst, I'll pay you with my head!"
After this sentence, the group of people immediately quieted down and carried the Zhou family members up the mountain.
There are a bunch of dilapidated thatched houses, and these bandits are actually raising chickens, pigs and farming in the mountains!
But this is not enough to fill their stomachs, because these people are not vicious bandits at all, they are mountain people!
A group of people who do not have household registration and are not recognized by the government have no way to enter the city to exchange for daily necessities.
If you want to exchange it among the people living at the foot of the mountain, you have to pay double the price.
So this group of people are getting poorer and poorer...
There are a total of 201 people. The young and strong ones are stubborn, and the rest are the elderly, the weak, women and children, living the most primitive life in the mountains.
Ji Changying took a deep breath after hearing this: "Could these people be scammers?"
She deeply suspected that these people were unable to make ends meet and wanted to go out and extort money.
Unexpectedly, he was unlucky enough to meet the Zhou family. He had a lot of muscles but no money.
When Zhou Liu heard Ji Changying's words, her expression became very excited. She slapped her thigh excitedly while sitting there: "You are absolutely right!"
"I think that old man is already on his last legs! Your grandfather was unlucky enough to get close to him, and he got blackmailed before he could even say a word!"
"You don't know how poor people are in the mountains! You have to run three miles to fetch water, and the mountains are so rugged that it takes months to clear a plot of land! Want to buy a piece of cloth? That's even harder! Not only do you have to pay the villagers for running errands, but you also have to pay them bribes before they'll reluctantly give it to you!"
What about daily necessities like soap beans, flower heads, sewing and seasonings, etc.?
If you can buy one, it will be a treasure!
Mountain people are a kind of people between refugees and civilians.
They don't have a formal household registration and the government doesn't recognize them, but they are not as ferocious as refugees or bandits. It's just that their ancestors were bandits, and they gradually gave up later on, but they can't return to a normal life.
Usually such people have a bad reputation, and most people are unwilling to have contact with them.
Fewer and fewer people have difficulty getting married.
Either they are forced into a desperate situation and have to go back to their old jobs and wait to die outside one day, or they can only live a hard life by being self-sufficient.
This group of people is the latter.
The Zhou family also regretted it very much. Why did they choose such a shabby place after choosing so carefully?
In other words, they were in a hurry to get it, so they went there without asking any questions.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have had time to hide!
"Anyway, we're going home now, so what can they do?"
Ji Fengshou also nodded quietly: "That's right, I'm going home anyway, so I don't care about them!"
We had already arrived at the place while we were talking.
Zhou Yidao and the others stopped talking and looked at the Ji family outside.
The house is spacious and elegant, and after a simple renovation it looks like it belongs to a wealthy family.
The people from the Zhou family were a little hesitant to recognize him for a moment.
"Come on, come on, we're home! Everyone, go in and take a rest first. My sister-in-law must be preparing dinner. Wait for Aying to go and call Yue Niang back, and then our whole family will be here!"
When Ji Fengshou saw the expressions of the Zhou family, he immediately straightened his back and spoke in a more confident tone.
Hu had already known about this from Ji Shilin and others, so she boiled a pot of water, added some sugar, and waited for someone to come.
Seeing someone come in, he immediately went forward and took Zhou Liu's hand warmly: "Aunt, you must have come all this way here. Come in! I've prepared tea for everyone!"
You Tianming also put down the carpentry work in his hands and brought a tray of sugar water to distribute to people one by one.
Several aunts of the Zhou family were discussing in low voices how prosperous the Ji family was, and they were also tempted to stay.
After the uncles looked around the yard, they felt completely relieved.
I know my sister is doing really well.
"Mingzi! Ride your horse to the city and call my eldest brother and the others back."
Ji Fengshou pulled You Tianming out of the door and whispered instructions to him.
Mrs. Hu felt much better when she saw people from her hometown. She started chatting enthusiastically with Mrs. Zhou Liu and Ji Changying's aunts.
When talking about her hometown being flooded, shock appeared on Hu's face.
"Alas! It's fate! We're considered lucky, at least we managed to escape. I heard from the neighboring village that several families had to go back to get their belongings, but in the end, none of the fourteen members of the family managed to escape!"
My aunt couldn't help but shed tears: "My mother's family... My mother's family is gone!"
Mrs. Hu was anxious: "Shuangliu Village! What's the situation in Shuangliu Village?"
Her parents' home is right there!
Mrs. Zhou Liu held her hand and said, "Shuangliu Village is located on a higher ground, so the situation should be better than where we are. If you're worried, ask someone to send a letter back and ask."
"Yes, when I sent something to my grandmother's house, I also sent something to Shuangliu Village. The escort agency would definitely deliver the letter when they passed by there on their way south."
Ji Changying pulled Hu to sit down and told her not to think too much.
Several aunts came forward to comfort her.
Ji Fengshou was asking about the situation with several uncles. Seeing this, Ji Changying quietly went out to call Zhou back.
Wheat field.
Song Ruqing was sitting at the top seat, watching the fight between the two groups of people.
Zhou was brandishing two hammers and no one within a hundred meters of the crowd could get close to him. He looked very majestic.
In order to restrain her, the opponent sent ten people to interfere with her position, but she did not panic at all. No matter what formation the opponent used, she broke it with her force.
No matter how you try to stop me, do you have the guts to fight me head-on?
She knocked a hole in the hole and pulled out the small flag that represented victory.
Zhou's companions surrounded her and cheered. She smiled boldly and confidently, and was very dazzling in the audience.
Song Ruqing looked dazed.
I don’t know when it started, but Zhou’s face looked more and more like her nominal mother-in-law.
She even looks more like her than the eldest princess Zhongli Xingyue.
This made her feel a little awkward and weird.
"General! Look, Zhou Yue is indeed a good talent! If we train him well, he will definitely be very effective when we go to war this year!"
Tielan's face was full of excitement, and she pointed at Zhou in the field as if she had won the game.
Song Ruqing restrained his expression and said, "Train her well."
