Chapter 1278 Without comparison, there is no harm (Part 2)
“These victims are really like dogs biting Lu Dongbin, they don’t know good people’s hearts! I think about them, lest they fall into the tiger’s mouth and be eaten by others without knowing it. What’s going on, they bite me back?”
Wang Meng could not help but get angry after being scolded by the victims after his good intentions failed.
"Forget it, Mr. Wang, your vision is different. They are short-sighted, so why bother with them. To say that they are also blessed. We are going to Jingnan to eradicate the scourge of corrupt officials Zhu Ping'an. They are going to Jingnan. It’s not considered a wrong move.”
Peng Cheng gently patted Wang Meng on the shoulder, smiled and teased, and comforted Wang Meng.
"Well, that's right. When they meet us, they are meeting a noble person." Wang Meng said with a bitter smile.
The group continued to move towards Jingnan. The closer they got to Jingnan, the more fleeing groups they encountered along the way. Some are local refugees in Taiping County, and more are refugees from other places who came through Taiping County, bringing the elderly and children with them and their families. The fleeing teams came from three sides and gathered together on the official road leading to Jingnan, forming a huge fleeing group. Xu Hai and others made a rough count and found that there were thousands of people.
Not only that, the flow of people is still coming from three sides, heading towards Jingnan like ants.
This is not what shocked Xu Hai and others the most. What shocked them the most and made them unbelievable was that the people who had gathered to flee to Jingnan looked in the direction of Jingnan one by one. The eyes are full of trust and hope, and the faces are filled with joy and excitement, like pilgrims.
“Look at Jingnan, after passing the foot of this mountain, Jingnan is in front of you!”
"Dad, please cheer up. We are going to Jingnan. We are saved."
"Okay, hold on to me. Dad can still hold on."
"My dear, mother." , great, I We are finally approaching Jingnan, we are saved, woo woo woo”
The victims of the disaster, who were all sallow and skinny and had suffered a lot, could not help but burst into tears of excitement when they looked at Jingnan so close at hand.
Weird things happen every year, especially today!
Xu Hai and others looked at this scene and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Why were there so many hungry victims? !
Don’t you all know that there is a corrupt official Zhu Pingan in Jingnan who does not care about the lives of the people, colludes with grain merchants, and drives up grain prices? !
Don’t you all know that Jingnan is not a place of hope, but a scorching hell? !
Don’t everyone know that as soon as they go to Jingnan on this trip, all the bones and dregs will be chewed by Zhu Ping’an? !
Xu Hai and others couldn't help but get wet at the corners of their eyes when they looked at these refugees who were fleeing to Jingnan like pilgrims.
Zhu Ping'an, a corrupt official, somehow deceived these refugees. There are so many disaster victims today, but what about yesterday? What about the day before yesterday? How long has this scene lasted? ! How many refugees in Jingnan has Zhu Pingan deceived? ! Walking into Jingnan with hope, Zhu Pingan first snatched away the fine gold and silver he was carrying, then peeled off the skin, and then chewed it until no bones or dregs were left.
“Let’s hurry up. Let’s go to Jingnan and seek justice for the people who have been harmed! Let’s eradicate a big scourge for the people who are about to be harmed!” Xu Hai suddenly fixed his gaze and said to Wang Meng and others.
“Let’s go!”
The group of people rushed past the huge crowd of refugees and rushed towards Jingnan.
Going around a low ridge, we entered the Jingnan boundary. As soon as we entered the Jingnan boundary, Xu Hai and others were dumbfounded.
Damn it!
What about Jingnan
The sky is blue, the trees are green, the grass is green, the river is clear, the green vegetables in the rice fields are swaying in the wind, and the smoke from the kitchen is rising in the distance. It’s a painting, and it’s poetry as far as the eye can see. This is Jiangnan!
Just
Why is Jingnan so Jiangnan? !
Xu Hai and others were mentally prepared to see miserable hellish scenes such as corpses lying in the fields and Yi Zi cannibalizing each other. However, what they came to see was not such miserable hellish scenes, but the beautiful mountains and clear waters and the curling smoke of Jiangnan, a Jiangnan that had not been seen for a long time. , Xu Hai and others couldn't help being dumbfounded, and they were all dumbfounded.
"Dear fellow villagers who have come from afar, please wash your hands first before eating. Don't crowd or grab. Everyone has a share. Uncle, and that aunt, please go slowly, don't be in a hurry. , we have plenty of porridge, it’s enough. The steamed buns have just come out of the pot, everyone Be careful to burn your mouth. After eating, everyone walked forward. There was someone in front of us to arrange for everyone. As long as everyone works hard, we will not only have food to eat, but also money."
"Please get up quickly, everyone. Please get up, we can't bear it. If you want to thank us, thank us, the county magistrate. Master, all this was ordered by our county magistrate, we are just running errands."
As we walked further, we saw a wide field, with ten large porridge pots lined up in a row, and steamers one by one. Steaming out of the air, three bulging grain trucks were parked on the field. After finishing the porridge in the pot, you can open the bag to get food at any time, and use the stream water on the spot to boil the pot. In front of the venue, there are several people wearing official uniforms directing the disaster victims to line up by the stream to wash their hands and faces, and then Then we got the porridge and divided the steamed buns. The whole place was clean, tidy and orderly.
The venue was full of refugees who had fled here, holding bowls of porridge and eating steamed buns, and their faces were filled with happiness.
Moving forward, the refugees who had finished their meals were heading to the resettlement site in front of them one after another under the command of the receptionist.
The scenery here is picturesque, there is food and drink here, and the people here are full of happiness and hope.
What kind of miserable hell is this place! Compared with other places in the south of the Yangtze River, especially compared with the nearby Taizhou Prefecture, Taiping County and other places, this Jingnan is simply a paradise.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Xu Hai and others thought in their minds I can't help but think of Tao Yuanming's classic "Peach Blossom Spring": In the Taiyuan Dynasty of Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling were fishing. Walking by the stream, I forget how far the road is. Suddenly I came across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank. There were no trees in the middle, the grass was delicious, and the fallen flowers were colorful. Fishermen are very different
This is unscientific!
I must have opened it the wrong way!
Xu Hai and others couldn't help but shook their heads, closed their eyes, and opened them again. What they saw was still Jingnan, which was like a peach blossom garden.
What is going on? ! how so? ! Is this Jingnan? Are we on the wrong track? !
Xu Hai and others looked at each other and were immediately confused! Each and every one of them was as shocked as wooden stakes, stuck in place, staring stupidly at this picturesque Jingnan, with abundant food and rice, a paradise-like place. The most serious among them was the magistrate of Taiping County, with his mouth hanging open. Like the mouth of a box.
Zhang Guyi, a householder in Dongchang, was also shocked, but compared to Xu Hai, Taiping County Magistrate and others, he was much better off.
Before coming, although Du Gong Huang didn't say anything explicitly, his words were full of hints. Coupled with his understanding of Zhu Ping'an, he felt that something was fishy, but he didn't expect that Jingnan's situation would be so good. (End of this chapter)
