Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen ignored him and stood on the carriage to see if there were any fish that had escaped the net. However, the strong laborers and night patrolmen were all called up, and more than a hundred people beat up a dozen people.

She didn't even have a chance to fight back before they were chopped down by various pickaxes, shovels and axes.

If the Qinghe family had not woken them up, everyone would have lost money and food at best, or even died at worst.

This huge fear and anger was directly converted into strength. He attacked the group of men in black without caring about his life.

Zhao Yuanzhen even saw Sun Zhang holding a stick to finish off the enemy.

While beating him, he was still muttering: "I told you not to learn your lesson, you bastards, you do nothing and rob us every day."

Zhao Yuanzhen was delighted. This little old lady is quite energetic.

Because the number of people was too great, the battle was won without a doubt. The village chief asked someone to find ropes to tie up everyone.

The dead bodies were also brought over and placed together.

They picked out three whose injuries were not so serious and started interrogating them.

Take it in three directions.

The interrogation results came out soon.

They were from Hejian Prefecture. The day before the rain, the prefecture began conscription, and all men over the age of 14 were arrested, regardless of their household registration.

Even paying money or silver is not enough. Forced conscription.

It is said that soldiers were recruited to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

The key point is that even the regular army of the imperial court can't win, so it's even more impossible for them, who have no training at all, to win!

The imperial court was clearly using them as cannon fodder, sending them to their deaths.

Of the 19 people, 11 of them knew each other from the beginning, and they were not good people. They usually stole things in the city to collect protection fees, and they also did a lot of bullying by smashing and looting.

When I heard about the conscription, I was afraid of being caught.

After discussing it, they decided to run away. They all went home to pack their bags. However, there were conscription guards at the door of their house.

These people took nothing with them and wanted to run away quickly. However, they could not get out of the city gate, so they could only find a place to hide in the city. They wanted to go home at night, pack their luggage, and then sneak out from the city wall.

Among them there was one person who knew martial arts. Although he couldn't fly over eaves and walls, he could climb city walls.

After several people packed their luggage, he led everyone to find a section of the city wall that was not guarded by anyone and started climbing the wall.

He climbed up first with a rope, then let them out with ropes, pulled them up one by one, and then flipped them down from the other side.

In this way, after struggling for half a night, the 11 of them finally crossed the wall and left the city.

For fear of being discovered, each person took only a few pieces of clothing, dry food, and some silver.

Although they usually smash, loot and collect protection fees, there are so many of them that the average amount is not much. They have to support their families with this money and drink, eat meat and eat out every day.

Several people discussed, why not cross the river to Kaifeng. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor, a prosperous city. And they are "craftsmen". They will definitely be able to prosper.

But I didn’t know that it started raining in the afternoon before I could finish my dream.

The rain was getting heavier, so they had no choice but to go up the mountain and find a cave to shelter from the rain.

The rain lasted for a week, and the dry food they brought with them was long gone. If they hadn't hunted and dug wild vegetables to eat, they would have starved to death.

When the rain stopped, they hurried down the mountain and headed for Kaifeng Prefecture. After two days of traveling, they happened to meet Zhao Yuanzhen and her village coming down the mountain onto the official road.

Several people became more active. Fearing that they didn't have enough people, they recruited a few people they met on the road who they thought could work together. In this way, there were 19 of them.

Because he was used to doing petty thefts, he always carried drugs with him.

After two days of observation, several people almost broke their legs in order to keep up with the speed of their village's carriages. Their village did not even take a break at noon. If it were not for the temptation of the carriages, they would not be able to run at all.

Finally, after observation, they found that they were just an ordinary village, just a little richer. So they decided to take action.

The main thing is that if we don’t take action now, we will not be able to escape.

The number of people was too large, so they had to drug the people first and then take action. To ensure that everything went well, they sprinkled the drug three times at each vent.

I waited for a long time and made sure there were no accidents before it appeared.

Who would have thought that this was actually a village that pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. It was too bullying.

In fact, they didn't know that if Zhao Yuanzhen's carriage and Zhao Yuanzhen hadn't been there today, they would have really succeeded.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, I met Zhao Yuanzhen.

Everyone was silent when they heard that they all confessed. They were actually being targeted. These were only the people who were exposed. There were countless people who were not exposed.

The village chief was a little worried about what to do with these people.

There were 19 people, 7 died, 8 were seriously injured, and the remaining 4 were still alive.

Seeing that the village chief didn't say anything, Wu Erping shouted

"Second Grandpa, aren't you going to kill these troublemakers? I'm still waiting to have my pockets touched."

She only knew that these people were after her food, which meant they wanted her life.

If someone wants to kill her, how can she let them go? They are not good people to begin with.

"The old man is right. If we don't deal with these people today, they will collude with others to rob us again. They will not be grateful and let us go. In their eyes, we are fat sheep. If they don't eat us today, they will eat us tomorrow."

Zhang Sandao rarely agreed with the old man's words, even though Wu Erping was trying to touch his pocket.

The village chief also knew this, and then he found a few people to deal with the survivors.

Wu Erping quickly searched her pockets. After searching for a long time, she finally found some small change and copper coins. The others were the same, but none of them found any money.

"Bah, a bunch of poor bastards!" Wu Erping cursed angrily.

These people were originally fleeing secretly, and they had to climb over the city wall, so they didn't dare to take too many things with them, and they had to leave some money for their families for living expenses.

If I wasn't so hungry, I wouldn't have done it today.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved at Wu Erping, who came over with a pout.

"What are you doing?"

"Sister-in-law, I saw them coming from the valley over there!"

"Really? Then I'll go check it out!" Wu Erping's eyes lit up immediately and she called everyone over to check the bag.

Zhao Yuanzhen watched a large group of women rushing away, all searching for their bags.

The village chief ordered people to dispose of all the bodies.

It's night time now and we can't burn it because the fire will be too big and attract attention.

The only thing they could do was to find a big hole in the mountains and throw them all in.

Then another layer of soil was filled in.

Fear of infectious diseases.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied with the village chief's performance. Although he didn't have a heart of a saint, he was still decisive in killing.

Zhao Yuanzhen yawned and felt sleepy.

Climb up the carriage and go to sleep.

Only after entering the carriage did she realize that Xiao Zijin was still waiting for her to speak and call him out.

Zhao Yuanzhen touched her nose. She had forgotten.

However, the matter has been resolved at least. It's good that he doesn't have to see such a bloody scene, so the child won't be frightened.

Then he was told to go to bed.

Zhang Zijin put away his sword, listened to his grandmother, lay down obediently and went to sleep.

The most advanced carriage had already been carried away! Zi Jin was standing on the carriage when that man came in and stabbed him in the chest with a sword!

It was dark, and he couldn't see clearly, but he knew someone came up, and then he drew his sword! With a cry, the person fell off the carriage.

After all, he is a carefree child! Otherwise, he would be scared.

The village chief didn't sleep in the second half of the night.

The pace of their village still needs to be faster.

During this period of time, a lot of food has been consumed. The cart can also be lightened a lot. If there are things that are not very important, throw some of them away. Only the most important things are taken with you.

Increase your walking speed.

There were several families with horse-drawn carriages pulling a lot of goods, and people pushing carts. They had been traveling so fast these days and were very tired.

If it really doesn't work, you have to consolidate it and throw away everything on the cart. Try to put everything on one carriage.

In this way, even if the carriage cannot accommodate people, at least people can travel light. Otherwise, the journey will be too tiring and pushing the cart will be unbearable.

Well, I’ll tell everyone tomorrow morning.

When Zhao Yuanzhen woke up, she found the village noisy. What's going on? So noisy. Isn't it always harmonious every time she wakes up?

Li Zhijuan saw her looking at the group of people and came over to help her answer her question.

"The village chief told the meeting this morning that we should all throw away the things that were no longer needed after moving the cart. We felt that pulling the cart would not only affect the speed but also make people unbearable. But no one was willing to do so."

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded. What the village chief said made sense, but for the villagers, any piece of firewood was good and they were reluctant to throw it away.

Finally, the village chief enforced it, and the number of carts pushed by the families with carts was reduced significantly.

Even if people are reluctant to throw away the cart, there is nothing heavy on it, so it can be tied behind the carriage.

This way, people can walk without pushing the cart. They can also walk faster and save energy, making them less tired.

While they were in a mess and no one was paying attention to her family, Zhao Yuanzhen quickly took the milk and handed it to Qian Xiaohui.

Qian Xiaohui immediately found a pot with a lid and boiled it.

Then it was poured into a ceramic jar and carried into the carriage.

Everyone took turns going into the carriage, eating buns and drinking milk.

The buns are the ones that were saved before.

After eating and drinking his fill, he pretended nothing had happened and jumped off the carriage.

Just when they finished eating and cleaned up.

The village chief brought Zhang Sandao to find Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Qinghe family, it's all thanks to you this time. Second grandfather doesn't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you, our village would have been finished yesterday! We would have died or would have lived long."

The village chief was sincerely grateful to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Think about the scene you saw when you woke up yesterday.

If it weren't for her, the whole village would have had its grain, carriages, and money stolen. If she hadn't been killed yesterday, the grain, carriages, and money would have been gone.

What can we eat and drink in this chaotic world? Sooner or later, we will starve to death!

"I was lucky enough to sleep in the carriage and not be drugged."

Zhao Yuanzhen was telling the truth. If it weren't for the carriage, he would have been infected. He had to think of a way to improve his resistance to drugs.

"That is also your credit, and it is all your blessing. Everyone in the village will remember it. Our village doesn't have much money now, but I will keep this in mind. When I have money in the future, I will definitely reward you. When I repair the ancestral hall, I will also tell everyone about these things in the hall, and let all our ancestors hear them."

The village chief would like to thank his ancestors for choosing such a good grandson’s wife!

Zhao Yuanzhen was very surprised. Normally, such things as opening an ancestral hall and burning incense to pray to ancestors were only offered to those who became wealthy or promoted.

Unexpectedly, I also got into it.

"Second Grandpa, you don't have to give me the money. The village is not rich. Leave it to the villagers to repair the ancestral hall."

Although I don't want the money, I still want to pray for you.

This will increase her family's influence in the village in the future, and it will be easier for her to negotiate if she needs help from the villagers when she starts a business.

In addition, the good reputation in the village was also helpful for Zhang Xinshuo and Zhang Zijin to study for the imperial examinations.
