Chapter 33 Assassination
Hearing the cries and begging outside, several children looked frustrated.
"Mom! They are so pitiful!" Lu Tiantian couldn't bear to say.
Jiang Tangtang was silent for a moment, then poured a bowl of sweet soup for one person and said, "Then, can I give the rest to the refugees?" The
brothers and sisters nodded in unison.
Jiang Tangtang smiled, put the remaining sweet soup in a big bowl, and walked out of the carriage.
"This is the sweet soup I made from the wild fruits I picked in the mountains. It was originally meant for a few of my children to drink, but they heard that there were many children like them who were starving and were willing to share some. Some. All the families with children, please come to the front!"
The refugees in the view instantly became commotion. Jiang Tangtang said: "Don't worry, you should all know this kind of wild fruit. For those who didn't get the sweet soup, you can go pick it in the mountains."
As he spoke, Jiang Tangtang showed the remaining prickly pears in the bag to the refugees.
Prickly pears are very common in the countryside. Some farm children went to the mountains to pick them as snacks when they had no food to eat.
However, the prickly pear has thorns on the surface and seeds on the inside. Only a thin layer of skin is edible. Although it can be chewed to bring out some sweetness, it has a hard texture and is not good for satisfying hunger.
The refugees looked disappointed when they saw that the sugar water was boiled with this stuff.
Where can I get enough to eat here?
Moreover, at this time of year, the prickly pears on the mountain are also finished, so you can pick as many as you can.
The refugees all stared at the tightly covered donkey cart. Seeing that the refugees were planning to use a big house and a donkey cart, Lu Yingxun's eyes flashed with a vicious evil smile.
The eldest brother doesn't care about his family ties and doesn't give him anything to eat, so it's no wonder he's so cruel.
He finished the dry food in his hand in a few seconds, limped to a group of refugees, and started chatting with a few men.
Jiang Tangtang didn't notice Lu Yingxun's abnormality. She distributed the sweet soup in the big bowl to the young children and the sick old man.
However, there is not much sweet soup, not enough to share!
Seeing the children who drank the sweet soup obediently thanking her, and the children who didn't drink the soup, looking at her eagerly, Jiang Tangtang felt extremely uncomfortable.
She decided to help these refugees without exposing herself.
Just how to help?
Jiang Tangtang was a little worried.
Rice and other things must not be taken out. On the other hand, some of the crops grown in the space can be taken out and placed in the mountains as if they were wild in the mountains.
It was dark outside and raining, so this plan was not easy to implement for the time being. Jiang Tangtang decided to take a nap first and recuperate before talking about it tomorrow.
Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili guarded the donkey cart on the left and right, while Jiang Tangtang, Su Shi and others were huddled in the donkey cart.
There were too many people and it was a bit crowded. Jiang Tangtang felt uncomfortable sleeping, but she was too tired during the day and fell asleep soon.
I don't know how long I slept when I was suddenly awakened by the noise outside.
Jiang Tangtang was startled and suddenly sat up from the carriage. When he opened the door, he saw Lu Shiyan holding a stick and fighting with several men.
But those men were not like ordinary refugees at all. Not only did they hold soft swords that were inconsistent with their status as refugees, they were also extremely skilled and surrounded Lu Shiyan.
The officers and soldiers led by Liang Jiamin wanted to come over to help, but they couldn't get close to them.
Seeing that the wooden stick in Lu Shiyan's hand was cut off, Jiang Tangtang was extremely anxious. Just as he was about to get out, Lu Shiyan scolded him, "Keep the doors and windows, stay in the car with the children, and don't come down to cause trouble."
At this time, some refugees took advantage of the chaos and came to pull the donkey cart, trying to climb onto it.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't care less about that, so he took out a kitchen knife and chopped at anyone he saw. Lu Zhixi, Su Shi and others also woke up one after another.
Mrs. Lu held several children tightly. Su and Lu Zhixi were like Jiang Tangtang, each holding a weapon in their hands. When they saw someone trying to climb up from the window, they viciously beat them.
Su held a small hoe, while Lu Zhixi held a machete.
Both of them had never even killed a chicken before, but in order to protect the things in the car, the two of them now didn't care about anything and just chopped and beat them with weapons.
Su has a weak temperament. When she saw a refugee being chopped with a hoe, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to stop. In the end, she even cried while chopping hard.
It wasn't until Lu Shiyan had dealt with the big men and came over with a long sword full of blood that the refugees who besieged the donkey cart were frightened, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life!"
Someone also confessed Lu Yingxun at once, He pointed at him and said loudly: "He said that there was a lot of food in your car, that you were unkind and harmed the people because of your wealth, so we came to rob it. It has nothing to do with us!"
Lu Shiyan was covered in blood, like a evil god crawling out of hell. , ignored the refugees' excuses, but pointed to the corpses in that place and said: "Who knows these people? Tell them their identities and I will spare you?" "
They are not from our village, I don't know them. !"
"I don't know them either. I don't know when they joined us. I thought they were fleeing from other villages." ...
The
refugees kept talking, but no one could recognize them. Here come some men.
Liang Jiamin looked at the male corpses on the ground with a solemn expression.
Although his kung fu is not very good, he still has the vision and vision he should have after many years of service.
These men are obviously refugees disguised as masters.
They were hiding among the refugees just to assassinate Lu Shiyan?
Could it be that, on the surface, the emperor was kind and generous, saying that he would let the Lu family go, but in fact, he secretly sent people to kill them all?
This guess made him feel cold.
He just handed the sword to Lu Shiyan, and even helped with a few cuts. If the emperor knew about this...
"Maybe they are robbers among the refugees." Liang Jiamin quickly went to the ground, "Since the robbers have been punished as they should be. Let's just forget about the punishment and bury the person first!"
Jiang Tangtang looked at Lu Shiyan in surprise and uncertainty. He saw Lu Shiyan squatting down, carefully inspecting the bodies of several men, and then followed Liang Jiamin's words and said: " He must be a robber."
As for why the robber did not rob a wealthy businessman, but mixed with the exile team to rob a very poor exile, no one asked.
After simply burying a few men, gray light gradually appeared outside.
This morning, the official did not let Jiang Tangtang cook. Instead, like the exiled prisoners, he ate dry food and shouted on his way.
Those refugees who took advantage of the chaos and tried to snatch the donkey cart were driven away by Lu Shiyan and the official officials.
Only a few refugees who did not participate in the looting did not drive them away, which was regarded as acquiescence that they followed.
When the refugees attacked the donkey cart last night, Jiang Tangtang regretted his bad intentions.
Later, I found out that the women and children she had given food to had not participated in robbing the donkey cart, and I finally felt relieved.
Also, her kindness didn't end up feeding the dog!
