Chapter 117 Rural Investigation (3)

At this time, Geng Jinyan said, "Uncle Six, since the leader gave it to you, please take it away." After all, Geng Jinyan lived with the time travelers for more than ten days and had a certain understanding of their style. She knew that these people were more realistic and did not like to play with false things, so she asked Geng Lu'an to take the rice.

After hearing what Geng Jinyan said, Geng Lu'an stopped refusing. He took the rice bag and of course thanked him repeatedly, asking his son and daughter to put the rice in place, and then told them to boil water quickly and let everyone drink a sip of hot water no matter what. Moreover, Geng Lu'an's heart was much more at ease. It seemed that the group of people would not charge taxes to the village, otherwise they would not give them rice to themselves.

Li Songchen asked again: "How is the harvest in the fields today? Is it good?"

After harvesting the rice, Geng Lu'an's attitude became much more positive, saying: "How could it be good? This year there was a drought, but the drought in Tianjin was still better. Moreover, there were more rivers here, so I could still deal with it. However, it has not stopped since May. First, there was a Boxer Rebellion, and then the foreign ghost came in again. Since July and August were the busiest time before the autumn harvest, watering with fertilizer was inevitable for a moment. As a result, everyone went to hide from the foreign ghost, which delayed the fields. We returned to the village early, so we took the time to get more fertilizer and recover more. It seems that we can start harvesting in more than twenty days. If we don't come back now, it will be bad. The output will be reduced by at least half. If we don't make it well, it is possible."

Li Songchen turned his head and thought about it again, and then said, "If you ask your family to grab some fat in other fields, can you get one more harvest when the harvest is done?"

Geng Lu'an couldn't help feeling relieved when he heard this. In fact, it was like Li Songchen's. When he was snatching his own land, he also snatched some fat from the Liu family and Huang family's more than ten acres of land. Because both families were killed, they were not afraid of anyone coming back. Therefore, when harvesting, they collected all these lands so that they could be collected more this year. In fact, it was not only him, but others did it too. Now, after hearing Li Songchen's question, he could only say vaguely: "It's okay, it's okay."

Li Songchen saw it and felt relieved. He didn't continue asking any more questions. He asked some other questions. Geng Lu'an also replied one by one, which made Li Songchen very satisfied. He did not come in vain this time.

After almost the question was about the same, Li Songchen said again: "My fellow villager, can you take us to the fields to have a look?"

Geng Lu'an hurriedly said, "Of course, let's go now."

Then, everyone stood up one after another, but before they could walk out of the house, Geng Lu'an's son Ji Wu'an ran in from outside and said, "Dad, second brother, go and see. Shuan Jie and Tiezhu led the group of children to Jie's house again. He was beating Jie at this time, and Cui'er was also scared to tears."

After hearing this, Geng Luan couldn't help but sigh again and said, "Oh! This is really a sin!"

At this time, Geng Jinyan said: "Uncle Six, what's going on? Shuanzi, Tiezhu and Jie's family have nothing to celebrate, why did the fight start?"

Geng Lu'an said: "The foreign ghost, Ji Lai, the adults and tenants in Jie's family were killed by foreigners. Only Jie and Cui'er had two children hiding in the cellar and escaped, but they were the two children left in the family. Shuanzi and Tiezhu's family were also killed by foreigners. These two children gathered from there, from several nearby villages. There are a few you should recognize. They sneaked in this area just to find a bite to survive. They didn't dare to go to other families. Only Jie's family had two children. They came to rob them once two days ago, but they were driven away by our neighbors. Unexpectedly, they are coming again. Alas, they are all miserable children."

Li Songchen heard their conversation very clearly, and he also understood what was going on, and immediately said: "Let's go and see."

Geng Lu'an immediately took everyone out after hearing this. Luo Yue also asked the soldiers who were resting in the place to follow him, passing through several uninhabited houses and coming to a room. The door was wide open, and in the main hall, several children were fighting and rolling around on the ground. A girl was crying while there were several children outside rushing in from all over the room, looking for something. The chairs and tables in the room were rolling over, and there were many cracked bowls and jars on the ground.

Without waiting for Geng Lu'an to speak, Li Songchen said, "Plane Leader Luo, please pull these children away and tell them not to beat them again."

After hearing this, Luo Yue immediately walked into the room a few steps before seeing Qing Chu. It turned out that there were four boys fighting, and the three boys were working together to beat a boy. At this time, he was pressing the boy to the ground, punching and kicking, and not scolding. Luo Yue rushed over, grabbed the wrists of the two boys with one hand, pulled them away from the beaten boy, and shouted: "Stop, don't fight again."

Another soldier rushed over and grabbed another boy. The boy who was beaten was considered to be a slaughter. The girl came over and helped the boy who was beaten up while crying.

The two boys caught by Luo Yue struggled hard, but how could they fight to defeat Luo Yue? They couldn't even struggle after a few struggles. When Luo Bing saw that the two children were still not honest, he tried his best to force his fingers. The two boys were immediately pinched and screamed, and then they became honest and dared not break free.

At the same time, the other soldiers also entered the house and controlled the other children one by one. Only a few children who were close to the back door saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away from the back door. The squad leader Li Lixin and a soldier chased them out from the back door.

Only then did Li Songchen see clearly that these children were all unkempt and dirty, dressed in ragged clothes, and were dirty. They were not much better than beggar Hua Jie. Instead, the boy and the girl who were beaten looked a little better. Although they were thin, they looked much cleaner. However, the boy was beaten to his nose and face, and there were several parts of his face, hands, and body bleeding. When Li Songchen saw it, he hurriedly asked Gao Jun to see the child and spray some hemostatic agent.

At this time, outside the door, Geng Lu'an whispered to Geng Jinyan, saying, "Yan Ji, how will they do these children?"

Geng Jinyan said: "Don't worry, the leaders are all good people and will not hurt these children. They will bring these children to Tianjin to raise them, and will teach them to read and read."

Geng Lu'an said a little disbelief: "There is such a good thing?"

Geng Jinyan said: "Of course, after the leaders conquered Tianjin, they had already taken over 160 orphans and planned to open a school in Tianjin to teach these orphans to study. The same is true for them to be taken to Tianjin."

Geng Lu'an heard this and felt relieved, saying, "That's good, that's good. In fact, these children are not bad people, but there is no way. The adults are gone, and they have no food or drink. How can they survive without stealing and robbing? But this is not a solution. Sooner or later, they will become bandits. The leaders really want to raise them, but they have done a great thing."

Just as the two of them were talking, Li Lixin walked back with one hand and a child, like two dogs, and muttered, "Baby, do you still want to run out of my palm?"

After entering the house, Li Lixin put down the two children. At this time, the other children were restrained and stood in a row against the wall. Li Lixin asked the two children he had caught to stand with the others. There were twelve children, two of them were girls, both of whom were about twelve or thirteen years old. Li Lixin said viciously: "Be honest with me, if anyone dares to run away, I won't deal with you." He also waved his fists and acted to hit people.

These children were indeed scared. Some were so scared that they were trembling, while others were so scared that they cried.

Luo Yue said on the side: "Okay, okay, don't scare the kid."

At this time, Geng Jinyan and Geng Lu'an came into the house. When the beating boys and girls saw each other, they rushed over. One was called "Uncle Liu" and the other was called "Sister Yanzi". They all started to cry. Geng Jinyan hugged the girl, turned toward the children standing in a row, and said with a calm face: "Shuanzi, Tiezhu..." A few more children they knew were, "What are you doing, why do you bully Jie and Cui'er."

The children who were named Geng Jinyan lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Geng Jinyan. After a while, one of them cried and said, "Sister Yanzi, I'm hungry. I haven't ordered anything in two days." When he cried, the other children also started crying and said that they hadn't eaten for several days, which made Geng Jinyan feel sour and couldn't bear to scold them anymore.

The others were also very sad to see, and Geng Lu'an sighed even more. When Luo Yue saw this, he took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed them to Gao Jun, saying, "Captain Gao, give this pack of biscuits to these children."

Gao Jun took the biscuits and first came to Geng Luan's side, saying, "Okay, okay, stop crying, eat first." Then he tore open the packaging bag, took out a piece of biscuit, and handed it to Jie.

Jie took the biscuits, but instead gave them to the girl before she could eat them, and said, "Cui'er, you eat them."

Cui'er was a little hesitant and did not dare to pick her up. Geng Jinyan touched her head and said, "Let's eat, Jie still." Cui'er then reached out to take the biscuit and took a bite.

Gao Jun liked Jie quite a bit, so he handed him a biscuit and said, "You are very fond of your sister."

Jay took the cookie and said, "She is not my beauties, but my wife."

Gao Jun widened his eyes and looked in disbelief. He looked at the two of them and said, "How old are you? Are you married now?"
