Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled
Chapter 13 Meeting Robbers on the Road
Liu was always worried, seeing her daughter back, she asked, "How is that woman okay?"
Just now he saw someone lying on the ground and thought he was hurt.
Jing Yi replied: "Mrs is pregnant. Even though the fetus is panting, it should not be a big deal to come back and take care of the baby. Let's go too, and go to the city before dark so we can find lodging to stay at." Then Jing Yi went up
After boarding the train, the coachman continued his journey. Outside the prefectural city of Suizhou, I saw some refugees fleeing famine, it seems that drought in some northern states has affected here.
Seeing this situation, Jing Yi was increasingly determined to go south. Moreover, the Suizhou House was still too close to the Yi Country, and he was afraid that the Yi Country spies would find them. It was safer to stay away from the Wing Kingdom.
After entering Suizhou Fucheng, her mother and daughter stayed at an inn, and Jing Yi also paid the fare.
After entering the room, Jing Yi opened the wallet that Wu Wenbo had given her earlier, and when she opened it, there was indeed a paper money inside, and it was a five hundred taels note, and it was a five hundred taels note, which is pretty much. Now his wallet is a little more glaring.
This era is still classified as backward in some aspects, such as diet. Some aspects have evolved more. For example, it is now possible to use paper money instead of currency circulation here, which he did not expect.
After arranging for her mother, Jing Yi came out again to ask the news.
Jing Yi found that several northern states were greatly affected by the disaster.Although the imperial court had allocated funds for disaster relief, it was still a drop of water. Food prices in several northern states have risen tremendously, and the money in the hands of ordinary people cannot buy much food at all. Moreover, most ordinary people did not have much money left after paying exorbitant taxes.
People who cannot survive must leave their homes and flee from hunger to survive.
Jing Yi also felt that there was an increasing trend of refugees coming from the north, he felt that they should not stay in Suizhou for a long time and should leave as soon as possible. It is best to get ahead of the refugees, otherwise the road will be very dangerous. It was easy for him to say anything, but he had to be careful with his mother by his side.
Jing Yi told her mother about the situation, and Liu Shi also felt it was better to leave as soon as possible.
The next day Jing Yi rented another car, bought some dry food and left with her mother again. Along the way, she meets some refugees fleeing from hunger one after another, she also sees people dying of hunger, even seeing scenes of selling children and selling girls. This made Jing Yi even more wary. The driver was also very careful.
Their carriages moved faster, gradually leaving behind some refugees fleeing from starvation.
Jing Yi felt that a large number of refugees might not have arrived yet, and the refugees he saw were merely vanguards, it seemed that the drought in the north was quite serious.
The carriage Jing Yi and the others arrived at another county town, and the coachman did not want to go any further, so Jing Yi had to pay for the carriage.
Jing Yi's mother and daughter were staying at an inn, and Jing Yi was out to find out the situation, and spent dozens of taels of silver to get an official household registration for herself and her mother . Their household registration fell in this place called Luhua County.
Jing Yi was in a hurry to apply for household registration because she was afraid that she would experience a household registration check when she was on her way later. With the refugees, the management of household records will inevitably become more stringent.
When Jing Yi went to the inn after registering, she saw beggars on both sides of the road, Jing Yi knew that these were the refugees they had met on the street.
Jing Yi did not want to stay longer in Luhua County, so she rented another train, bought dry food, and took her mother to the street again.
Liu looked at the scene on the street and said: "Brother Yan, all the refugees fleeing from hunger have arrived here. It seems that hunger is quite serious. The place we went to was starving, wasn't it?" Jing Yi said
: "The place we're going is a little south, and there's no news of famine. Let's take it step by step. It seems like so far there are not many casualties, and maybe the situation can be controlled." Liu listened to his daughter in every way,
One day, their train was walking on the road between the mountains and the forest when they suddenly heard someone shouting in front of them: "Hey, I'm driving on this road, this road, and I want to pass by from now on to save money on road trips. "
When Jing Yi heard the phrase that often appeared in these TV dramas, she knew that they had experienced a robbery.
Madam Liu was also a little panicked when she heard that, she grabbed her daughter's arm and said nervously, "What should I do? Brother Yan, I'm afraid someone will rob you," Jing Yi patted the back of his mother's hand
. to comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go out and have a look, not sure who will rob in the end."
Jing Yi came out of the carriage with an evil smile and saw a dozen men buntily standing not far in front of the carriage. The leader was a man with big shoulders and a round waist, his black face full of beard, his eyes staring like bells, and he carried a large knife on his shoulder, which looked quite menacing.
Jing Yi looked at the people behind, some of them were holding knives, some were even holding hoes, he knew it was a horde, and his heart fell into his stomach. It's out of self-control to try to rob him with such a line.
Now the state of Jin is fairly peaceful, there is no chaos or the like. These robbers may be bandits doing little things near here or farmers looking to get a dirty profit.
Jing Yi stepped forward and narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you guys going to block the way to rob?"
The leader, a black-faced man with a large knife, said in a low voice, "Isn't this obvious? As long as you keep your money, I won't hurt you later." Your life."
Jing Yi moved the corner of her mouth and narrowed her eyes and said in a shaky manner: "What if I don't give it to her? "
The black-faced man raised his big knife and looked at him and said: "Then wait to be my knife Go to hell."
Jing Yi patted her chest, "Oh, I'm so scared."
She said she was scared, but there was no sign of fear on her face.
The black-faced man did not know how to look at things, and said: "If you are afraid, take all the money, and I promise I will not hurt your life."
Jing Yi stepped forward as if to pay, "I'll give you money, but you don't know what to do." Don't hurt us."
The black-faced man did not take it seriously when he saw Jing Yi was still a teenager.
Jing Yi who was already walking in front of the black-faced man suddenly moved, stepped forward and pointed at the acupuncture point under the armpits of the black-faced man.
The black-faced man felt numb in the hand that was holding the large blade, and his arm lost strength, and he could not directly hold the large blade in his hand.
As the big blade fell, Jing Yi grabbed it in her hand. In a few seconds, the large blade was in Jing Yi's hands, and Jing Yi had already placed the large blade on the black-faced man's neck.
The situation was reversed in an instant, and the people behind the black-faced man raised his weapon and did not dare to act rashly.
The black-faced man was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good man, save your life, good man, save your life. I was just waiting for some money, and I never hurt anyone's life. Good man, I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed. We really don't have anything. I only came out to do this when I found a way. I beg the hero to save my life.
