Chapter 11 Self-Inflicted Misfortune
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
At dawn the next day, the familiar sound of hammering iron started again. After Grandpa Qin and the others went to pay homage to Qin Cunying and the others, he took his family and continued to escape with the large team.
Two days later, we arrived outside the county seat of Heluo County.
In the middle of the night that day, Patriarch Gao called Grandpa Qin, Village Chief Hong, and Village Chief Liu to the resting place of the Gao family and told them: "Guanshi Li and Li Jinniu have been taken into custody by the Heluo County Government. This case case It's a credit, and the people at the county government are very happy that they've been included in the book. If someone wants to make trouble about this in the future, you can go to the county government where you settled with your confession to prove your innocence."
< br>
It's just...
"The people in the county government said that the county's military strength is limited, and Boss Ding and the others don't know where they fled, so they don't plan to pursue it anymore."
"They are still afraid of too many victims. If trouble occurs, we are ordered not to stay and to leave Heluo County as soon as possible, otherwise the Yamen will send officials to drive them away."
Village Chief Liu was saddened when he heard this: "Take us. We are chasing them like a plague, and we are not allowed to stay anywhere. When will we stop?”
“Prefectures and counties are afraid that the victims will gather to cause trouble, so they can only drive people away to protect themselves.” However, Gao The patriarch revealed a piece of news to them: "People in the county government said that it seems that Taizhou Mansion is providing disaster relief. As long as we can reach Taizhou Mansion alive, we can receive a sum of relief food."
Village Chief Liu was overjoyed when he heard this and wanted to ask more questions. Patriarch Gao stopped talking and asked Gao Laoer to bring the grain: "In the famine years, things are cheap. Two injured donkeys and a wooden cart were only exchanged for three hundred kilograms of grain. Two pounds of grain." One hundred catties were distributed to the victims, and the remaining one hundred catties It has been divided into four parts, one for each village."
"Thank you, Patriarch Gao." After Grandpa Qin and the others took the food, they returned to the resting place, gave the food to Grandma Qin, and told Patriarch Gao. Tell the guys.
Qin Dashi and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and their eyes were full of life: "That's great. With the disaster relief food from Taizhou Mansion, we can survive this winter. We will go south to look for five grains in the next spring. My uncle’s old brother settled down in the south and lived a life of rice.”
Speaking of the south. Old brothers, Grandpa Qin had a smile on his face, and divided the grain into many small portions: "Each family will tie three portions to their bodies, so that even if they encounter thieves, they will not be afraid that all the food will be stolen."
"Don't worry, Fifth Brother, we will hide it properly." Qin Laoliu and his wife quickly took the grain and tied it happily.
Qin Cunquan and the others were also very grateful. They trusted Grandpa Qin more and more and followed his arrangements. They were united and helped each other along the way, which made Qin Jiupao and the others red-eyed. They dragged Qin Dayan and Qin Eryong's wives to sow discord, but they never succeeded. .
Qin Jiupo became even more angry and scolded Qin Sushi: "Didn't you say you wanted to teach them a lesson and steal their food? Do it quickly. In a few days, they will eat up all the food. You're still trying to steal it."
Qin Sixi patted the bulging chicken breasts and promised: "Don't worry, mother, tomorrow will happen. After setting up camp, his son took his brothers to teach Qin Xiaomi a lesson and rob them of the food they had tied to them, so that bitch would know how powerful our sect is."
Qin Jiupo then became happy: " Then hurry up, I’m waiting for your good news.”
……
On the evening of the next day, when the fleeing team stopped to set up camp, Qin Sushi got entangled with two young men and followed Qin Xiaomi and the others into the mountain.
While Qin Xiaomi and the others were looking for food separately, Qin Sushi called to the losers: "Noble Niu, Baotong, you two go and knock Qin Xiaomi unconscious and drag him over."
"Yes. "The two losers immediately moved towards Qin Xiaomi, but Qin Xiaomi had already discovered them and deliberately left them alone to lure them out.
When they approached, Qin Xiaomi suddenly turned around and slashed Qin Guiniu's calf with a click. The knife penetrated deep into the bone. Qin Guiniu fell to the ground and screamed: "Ah ah ah, leg, my leg." Broken ! "
Qin Baotong was so frightened that he didn't dare to go up to save people, so he ran back: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, help me, Guiniu was chopped by Qin Xiaomi!"
But he shouted several times but didn't see Qin Sushi come out. He ran to the place and saw that Qin Sushi had disappeared: "Fourth brother, where have you been? Come out and help."
Qin Xiaomi He was already chasing after him, holding his knife and sneering: "Stop shouting, Qin Sushi, an irresponsible coward like him, how do you expect him to come out?" Come to save you?”
“Don’t come here. I am the only child in the family. It’s up to me to continue the family line. If you dare to kill me and destroy the roots of my family, my grandparents will not let you go.” !" Qin Baotong threatened while running wildly. After a while, he disappeared, presumably returning to the camp to ask for help. "Coward!" Qin Xiaomi turned around and walked back, calling to Aunt Xu and the others who had come to join them: "Aunt Xu, please go back to my grandpa and ask him to bring someone to escort Qin Guiniu. Let's exchange him for food."< br>
In this situation, food is hard to find, but robbery is easy.
"Hey." Aunt Xu hurriedly ran to the camp, and she and Qin Baotong arrived at the camp. Not long after, the two of them each led a group of people into the mountain.
Qin Guiniu’s mother rushed forward and cried: "Guiniu, my poor son was injured like this by a loser!"
Qin Jiupo pointed at Qin Xiaomi and said: "This bitch has wounded Guiniu. Come on, beat her to death and avenge Guiniu!"
"The old man will kill anyone who dares to move!" Grandpa Qin took Qin Dashi and others to protect him. In front of Qin Xiaomi , pointed at Qin Guiniu and said: "It was Qin Guiniu who wanted to harm Xiaomi first. They deserved to be chopped."
Qin Xiaomi said directly: "Grandpa, Qin Guiniu personally admitted that it was Qin Sushi Let them beat me. I'm generous and won't argue with them. I'll just let them pay ten pounds of food. If they don't pay, we can kill Qin Guiniu on the spot according to the rules of fleeing famine."
Qin Jiupo laughed: "Ha, do you think we are dead? We have more than 20 families, and you only have a few families. If you dare to touch the precious cattle, we will beat you to death!"
Qin Xiaomi also smiled: "Old Qianpo, have you forgotten the confessions of Madam Li and the others? Do you think that all the victims are dead? You'd better compensate my family with food, otherwise I will tell your secrets. Let those who suffer hardship come to your home "Begging for life!"
Qin Jiupao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of the smashed bodies of Qin Huiwen and others. She stretched her arms for a while and saw Gao Laoer bringing someone here, for fear that her youngest son would be arrested by the Gao family. Go to torture, hurry up and let go He said: "I'll pay you, but I don't have ten kilograms of grain. That's all. Do you want it or not?" Leave on.
Grandpa Qin thanked Gao Lao Er: "Thank you, Gao Er Er, for your help."
Gao Laoer waved his hand, seeing that everything was fine here, and left with his clansmen.
Qin Xiaomi held the bag of soybeans and asked a little strangely: "Grandpa, why haven't you seen Qin Laojiu? Isn't he the new patriarch over there? How can he do this kind of show of authority to show his status? Not coming?”
Qin Grandpa shook his head: "I don't know. He has never been careless. Don't pay attention to him. We just need to be more careful."
"Yes." Qin Xiaomi responded and returned to the camp with Grandpa Qin and the others. The soybeans came and I had another full meal.
The people in Qinjia Village were still looking for Qin Sushi everywhere, but they searched all around the camp and could not find any trace of Qin Sushi.
Qin Jiupo finally became anxious and asked the villagers: "Keep looking. Go into the forest and search. Even if we search through the forest, we still have to find our four children!"
She then yelled at Qin Huiwen's wife: "Mr. Qin Zheng , where is Qin Yaozu’s mother? She doesn’t see anyone day by day. Get her back to work quickly, otherwise I will drive you away and make you be killed. The old man who fled the famine team casually caused trouble!"
Qin Dashi was heartbroken and hurriedly came out to protect her: "Mother, Zheng is a weak woman with a child, so why not drive her away? Her life? We are good people, we can’t do such evil things.”
Good people?
Everyone laughs after hearing this.
Qin Zhengshi was soft and weak, and thanked Qin Dashi: "Thank you so much, Brother Dashi... I will work more, and I will not drag down the village."
The voice was lingering, and Qin Dashi felt weak all over. .
