Chapter 259 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (9)
Witnessing Xu Yin cleaning up the robbers, the victims came back to their senses and rejoiced:
“Oh! Fortunately, that black boy was so powerful that he kicked the bandits away. If they succeeded, we would all be doomed!”
“Looking at a skinny little guy, I didn’t expect him to be so powerful! You really can’t tell a person’s face!”
“Perhaps he is a martial arts master who has entered the world!”
“Quick! Go faster! Follow that young hero, no one will dare to rob us in the future!”
Someone suggested this, and everyone spontaneously quickened their pace to keep up with Wang Daniu and his team.
The victims who came later did not know and asked in confusion why they followed the people in front.
These people said, there is a martial arts master ahead, who can beat the **** out of a dozen knife-wielding bandits with one move. If you follow him, your life will be guaranteed!
As a result, the victims of the disaster in twos and threes spontaneously gathered at the back of the team, trying not to fall behind those who were walking slowly, and not to overtake those who were walking fast.
The closer we get to Dongxuan Mansion, the more powerful the team becomes.
Xu Yin turned around and saw the endless queue, and couldn't help but click her tongue: Why are there suddenly so many victims? Originally, there were only a few fleeing teams on this road, but now there are no less than a hundred households.
Wang Daniu was also puzzled, so he called his son to inquire.
After inquiring, I learned that these people came here for Xu Yin’s high strength and were hiding behind her to seek shelter.
Xu Yin: “…”
Looking back, the officials of Dongxuan Mansion shouldn't think that she is going to rebel, right?
…
Wang Daniu's attitude towards her has become even worse since the incident with the bandits. He regards her as his family's savior and rushes to do any work. He also said that after settling down in Fucheng, he would treat her to a good meal.
Wang Daniu's younger son Wang Xiaohu even regarded Xu Yin as his idol, calling him "Brother Hero" all the way.
Erlang no longer snickered. Like Wang Xiaohu, he often looked at her with admiration. One night before going to bed, he leaned into Xu Yin's ear and asked: "Sister-in-law, who is better in a fight between you and my elder brother?"
Xu Yin unexpectedly thought of "fairy fights", how terrible!
She patted Erlang's head away: "Sleep!"
Just like this, when the moon is still high in the starry sky, I put some dewdrops on my lips, get up early and go on the road; after noon, when the sun gets hot, I find a place to rest and accumulate strength; when the sun sets, I continue on the road, and it gets so dark that I can't see the road clearly. I find a place to find a place. rest…
Xu Yin has been paying attention to the vegetation along the way. As long as there is a little bit of green, she will lead some water out.
Behind the team, many victims were staggering due to lack of water and could hardly hold on. The morning dew could only moisten their lips, but could not quench their thirst at all.
Xu Yin felt depressed, forget it if she didn't see it, she couldn't get over it if she didn't do something when she saw it.
But at first she only dared to bring out a little bit of water.
After being thirsty for several days, how can the victims not grab water when they see it? I'm afraid I won't be able to drink enough and I'll die of thirst.
Xu Yin shouted sharply: "There will be more and more water in the future. If you grab it, no one can drink it! Now, stand back! Let the elderly and children come first! Everyone takes turns to drink!"
People who have never seen Xu Yin kick a big man away are unconvinced and step forward swaggeringly: "I want to drink! Why should I give it to others!"
Xu Yin didn't talk nonsense to him and kicked him away from the water source.
Now, no one dares to grab it. They line up obediently and let the elderly and children drink first. The next time they encounter a water source, let the women drink first as Xu Yin said.
Some people couldn't help but mutter: "It's okay for the elderly and children to drink first. Why should women be in front of us? What use can they do!"
…”
Fortunately, as Dongxuan Mansion gets closer and closer, there are more and more unwilted vegetation on the surface, and Xu Yin becomes more and more bold. He leads a little water out from a certain distance, so that the victims can basically take a few sips of relief. thirsty.
Once we passed a shady river, and there were several shallow pools of water on the south bank. Everyone cheered and jumped in to drink. Xu Yin used the reeds on the river bank to release a lot of mountain spring water for everyone to drink.
Erlang led Sanmei and ran over and asked her what she was doing. She pulled a handful of thatch and said, "Weave a straw felt!"
The more withered the thatch on the roadside, the more flexible it will be.
Xu Yin looked up at the sky. It had never rained during this journey, and the sun was scorching in the sky every day. But according to her observation of the surface vegetation, it must have rained in Dongxuan Mansion.
It might rain again at any time, so it would be a good idea to make some straw rugs to prepare for emergencies.
Erlang listened to her words and followed her to pull out a lot of thatch. He taught his third sister how to weave straw mats while riding on the cart.
After driving in this way for seven or eight days, we finally saw dry yellow and brown colors, and large expanses of green began to appear in our field of vision.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be reborn, throwing themselves down on the field and cheering excitedly.
After a few days, water was no longer a problem.
From the shaded ditch to the gurgling stream, to the wide river with vast waves, Wang Daniu said that he must have entered the territory of Dongxuan Prefecture.
He pointed to a certain wild fruit and said, "I have seen this kind of fruit on the street of Dongxuanfu."
The Wang family is both happy and sad.
Happily, I finally see hope.
What’s sad is that they have to leave their hometown to join their relatives, but they don’t know if their relatives are willing to take them in.
Even though I had planned to find work as soon as I arrived in Fucheng, I still had to have a place to stay.
Xu Yin is also thinking about her plans after arriving at Dongxuan Mansion.
But there was no rush, right now she just wanted to find a place with hot water to stay, take a quick bath and wash her hair.
The villages we passed through have been suffering from severe drought in the past few days, and almost all the villagers have fled to avoid the disaster.
So much so that I slept in the countryside every night along the way.
She did not dare to make much noise except for quietly wiping her body with a wet tissue in the dead of night. Her hair was not washed, and her clothes were only secretly changed once.
So much so that when you lower your head you can smell the smell of sweat from your clothes, and when you raise your head you can see how oily and smelly your hair is.
If there was a village nearby, she would want to spend some money to stay overnight, take a thorough bath, prepare a hot meal, and treat the Five Zang Temple.
“Dad, have you noticed that after entering the territory of Dongxuan Mansion, more and more people are fleeing like us. What’s going on?” Wang Xiaohu was puzzled, “I’ll go and find out.”
After a while, he came back after asking about it.
It turns out that the disaster in Tongxing Prefecture was serious, and they were worried that the victims would cause chaos, so they ordered the gates of each city to be closed, and people had to use roads to enter the city.
The victims who were fleeing the famine had nowhere to go, so they had nowhere to go and had to turn around and come to Dongxuanfu.
Wang Daniu slapped his thigh after hearing this: "Then we have to speed up, otherwise the Dongxuan Mansion will also order the city gate to be closed by then, which will be bad!"
Unexpectedly, the words came true: Dongxuan Mansion has closed its city gates!
Not only the gates of prefectural cities, but also the gates of county cities everywhere are closed!
Everyone who enters the city must show a road guide. Anyone who wants to forcefully enter the city without a road guide will be captured as a strong man.
This is like a bolt from the blue for the victims who finally managed to escape the famine.
