Chapter 699 On the way to escape 5
Zhang Zhong asked with a trembling voice. He still didn't believe that people could be so evil.
“Go and smell the smell on their bodies. It’s a rotten smell that you can’t cover up. This is the smell of people who are addicted to eating ‘two-legged sheep’.”
Lianyi said calmly.
No one made any move this time, because just now the four brothers of the Zhang family were fighting hand-to-hand with these four people, and they naturally smelled the smell.
The whole courtyard was eerily silent now, except for the crackling sound of burning torches.
“Listen to Lianyi, since they have already targeted our children, it will be even more troublesome if they recruit their accomplices.”
“Bah” Zhang Shi spit out hard. Drooling, he walked around the yard looking for stones, hoping to kill these beasts who coveted his son.
"Uncle, don't get your hands dirty, just dig a deep hole and bury them directly."
Lianyi knows that these simple farmers have never touched human lives on their hands, so they are soft-hearted Leg shaking is normal.
"All of you go dig a hole. Lianying, wake up your grandma and a few aunts and mothers, clean up, and deal with these five people. We will set off overnight. If these beasts' companions catch up, we will go back again." It’s too late to leave.”
Lao Zhangtou said decisively.
“Yes, Dad!”
“Yes, Master!”
Lao Zhangtou said to the two eldest grandsons beside him:
"Don't tell your sister what you heard and saw just now. Do you remember it?"
"Master, we remember it."
The two grandsons are fourteen years old. They are older children. Although their stomachs are sour, they still hold back. They are half the backbone of the family and cannot be cowed.
"Go and help you, Sister Lianyi."
Lao Zhang waited for his two grandsons and granddaughters to enter the house. He stood leaning against the door frame for a long time before he regained his composure and turned around to go in. When I got into the house, I found that everyone was already packing their things. I looked into the back room and found that several daughters-in-law, led by the old woman, had already put away all the bedding.
At this time, the inner room was also eerily quiet. When there was a commotion, the women in the inner room had all woken up. However, they knew that they could not help if they went out, and would also hinder their men, so they clenched the rolling pin in their hands. , squatting under the wall, they heard clearly what was said outside.
Especially after hearing what Lianyi said about "two-legged sheep", the hair on the back of their necks stood up. The faces of the two daughters-in-law and Huiniang who were named turned pale at that time. If it weren't for Lianyi Be vigilant and guard against these people. Their children are really unthinkable.
The four Zhang family brothers and the five Song Dachuan brothers took less than two-quarters of an hour to dig a three-meter-deep pit in the vegetable patch in the backyard of the village chief's house. , directly gagged the five struggling people and threw them into the pit, quickly filled the pit with soil, Zhang Shi even stepped on it a few times, trampling the soil firmly, leaving no way for them to survive.
When they returned to the front yard, Lao Zhangtou was ready. They held up torches and left this eerie village overnight.
Everyone was silent and just kept walking. It took them a whole night to climb over a mountain. At the other end of the mountain, they finally saw a little green. The family continued on their way. , try to avoid places where disaster victims gather.
"After crossing this mountain, we reach the north of Liangzhou. There has been no disaster here, but because the victims from the south are rushing here, we have to be more careful. In addition to watching out for the victims, we must also pay attention to those who fish in troubled waters."
Lianyi has Da Gan’s map in her mind, so she will never make a mistake in finding the way. "Lianyi, who are those people who fish in troubled waters you are talking about?"
Xin asked immediately.
Ever since the night in the ghost village, everyone has agreed that Lianli, the most knowledgeable person, is the invisible leader. The daily arrangements are still made by Lao Zhangtou. If there are things that cannot be decided, Lao Zhangtou will also take care of Ripples. discuss.
Since they were asked, Lianyi took the time to educate them on the matter, lest she be sold and count money for others. It was not their fault that they had little knowledge. Some people had never left the village where they lived for generations.
“There are two types of people who fish in troubled waters, those who work for people and for money.
The people who work for people are all human traffickers or the madams of some brothels. They take advantage of the victims to sell their children and girls in order to survive. When the opportunity comes, they will buy those children who look good, but there are also people who are unwilling to sell their children. Like our family, those people may steal or rob, or even stun the children with a piece of candy and take them away. .
So when you get to a place like this, you must not get separated, and you must be vigilant, pay attention to your surroundings at all times, and do not chat with those who take the initiative to talk to us. These people are very likely to try to trick us.
For those who want money, what they value is some external things, such as the jade, pearls and so on that we unexpectedly got before. They can exchange these things back with a little grain, and then sell them to other states. You can earn back ten times or a hundred times.
These things cannot be eaten or drunk, so it is better to exchange them for two taels of grain, so many victims will abandon these things. We cannot expose these things to avoid being spotted.
If you have a conscience, give some food at least. If you encounter such a vicious person, there is nothing you can do to rob you. So again, everyone should be vigilant. After all, there are only a few of us. "
Lianyi doesn't mind saying something more terrifying, so that these people can always stay vigilant.
"You all listen to Lianyi. She is not saying this to scare you. We in Zhangjiacun and I are In your generation, there were people who fled famine and settled in the village. Do you still remember Old Man Liu’s family at the west end of the village? "
"Remember, I seem to be somewhat related to my little aunt. ”
"Yes, that's his family. When their family fled famine to Zhangjiacun, there were only four members of the family left. Five children were lost and died on the way, and they were never found again."
When Lao Zhangtou had free time, he would also chat with men from the same village. He heard these things from Old Man Liu himself.
Several women hugged the children in their arms tightly, and then whispered to the children that they should not eat food handed over by strangers, that they should stay close to their parents, and that they should shout if they were separated. Call your parents and eldest sister by their names.
After hearing this, Ripple's head was full of black lines, but when her goal was achieved, she didn't care. After all, it was for the good of the children.
After entering the northern part of Liangzhou, they crossed all the way, trying to leave the territory of Liangzhou as soon as possible. As long as they entered the territory of Huangzhou, they could get rid of the victims. After all, not all the victims wanted to go to Huangzhou. Most of them wanted to go to Huangzhou. They all want to go to Huzhou, which is closer to Liangzhou and is more affluent.
After the Zhang family reached the middle of northern Liangzhou, they were stopped outside the city of Haoyuan County. A large number of victims had gathered here, and it was dark, all staring blankly at the city of Haoyuan County. Door.
“If we want to leave Liangzhou, we must pass through Haoyuan County, there is no way around it.”
Lianyi stood on the cart filled with luggage at home, looking at the distance. Gate Tower said.
