Chapter 129 Chaos and unscrupulous masked cold comments
People are often restricted by habits. Although they know that walking on the farmland can avoid them, many people are still crowded on the official road. Some people hesitate, while others walk forward, saying that they are not thieves and are not afraid of investigation at all.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun ignored the others. They rode two and four of them around the field path, as far as possible, and then walked around.
There are also roads in the fields. Some are small roads in the fields, and some are roads stepped out by people in front. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are on the horse. You can see more than ten refugees in front and more than ten people following you behind. You can observe that there are no connections between the refugees and the people in front and behind, and everyone just meets each other randomly.
But there were only a dozen people in front of me. There were quite a few people who entered the farmland on the official road. Where did the people in front of me go? It was impossible for them to be so far away from each other. It was like people split into groups and entered the farmland, but how could it be so orderly in chaos?
"Be careful, hide in the crowd and don't move around." Zhu Da turned around and reminded him. Li He didn't react slowly, nodded but took a few steps back and mingled with the refugees.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had a tacit understanding. They opened the scabbard spring and held the bow in their hands. Compared to them, the refugees walking on the road were not so alert. Although it was difficult to walk here, it was not as noisy and crowded as the official road. They walked a little lighter, and there were even people talking about the growth of crops.
"If the Tartars hadn't caused the disaster, the harvest this year would have been really good."
"The Tartars didn't have time to harm the crops. If they survived this disaster, they could go back and grab harvests, and they might be able to catch some of the crops in the neighboring village."
It is natural to pursue profit. People still cannot forget to take advantage of small gains at this time. Zhu Da raised his eyebrows when he heard it. Many people told him that every time the Tartars rushed in, they would destroy crops, which would damage the vitality of the Datong border and would not be able to fight back immediately. This is a reasonable measure that must be taken, hurting the enemy and strengthening oneself. This time it was a bit abnormal and proved his own speculation.
The road was always calm, and we walked along the road that our predecessors stepped out. There was nothing unusual, and everyone was getting more and more relaxed as they walked.
Zhu Da suddenly stopped his mount, turned over and dismounted. The girl in the big basket on his back was hit or something, muttering and complaining a few words. Even the refugees who followed them stopped, but they did not dare to say anything. The knife bows on Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were enough to make people awe. Everyone was just wondering, what did this young man squat down to see, could he pick up something after he had dropped something?
"The wheat straw was not broken today, and the place was also trampled strongly. At least a few waves of people have passed here. Let's be careful." Zhu Da said his judgment, Zhou Qingyun nodded silently, pulled out an arrow from the arrow bag and put it on the bow.
At this moment, Li He leaned over and said, "Two brothers, no one has followed behind him."
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun nodded to Li He without responding more. Li He did not show any disappointment or loss, but just quietly retreated into the crowd.
From the moment I entered the farmland and walked halfway through the road, Zhu Da and the others discovered this situation. The official road was getting more and more crowded. If they stayed there, their team, who were relatively decent on horseback, would become the target of public criticism. Not to mention, on the crowded road, the maneuverability of riding horses was gone, and it would be better to go to the open land.
"There must be someone who is making trouble on the road, urging people to take a detour on the farmland, and urging people not to leave, so we should come out to be safer." This is the judgment of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun on the road. Qin Qin can hear these news, but Li He is not qualified to know it yet.
I walked forward for a while and was about to reach a position parallel to the Zhuangzi on the side of the road. What makes people feel strange is that there are many people on the road on the other side, and there are no people even toward the edge of the earthen enclosure here. Could it be that the Zhuangzi's attention is only on the official road? Is it that the Zhuangzi's attention not only? Is it that there is no need to care about it?
The refugees do not have as much experience as Zhu Da and others, or even as scheming as Li He. After all, they are just farmers facing the loess and rarely leave their villages. This time they are just forced to come out to take refuge. They use very simple ideas to judge the safety and danger situation. The refugees only think that the situation in front of them is very beneficial to them, and they feel that they have taken advantage of it. The atmosphere in the team is even better, and some people even laugh.
"Brother Zhu, someone is crying." Qin Qin, who was carrying a basket, suddenly said.
The child was sensitive to five senses, and he was chatting and laughing in the audience. The crying was abrupt, making it easier to be heard. Zhu Da looked at Zhou Qingyun, and Zhou Qingyun frowned and whispered, "I thought it was a trance, but I didn't expect there was a cry. Is there any more?"
"No more, just say that." Qin Qin replied muffled.
Zhu Da let out a sigh of relief, frowned, and glanced around him. He also placed his bow on the saddle. At this moment, he saw something wrong. The wheat around him began to tremble, and it was not a turbulent movement, but a non-natural trembling. Someone was hiding in the field.
From judging that there is something wrong with this road until now, Zhu Da's heart has been hanging, but at this moment he has relaxed a lot. He stopped his mount and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that we plant wheat in this place. If it is sorghum field, we may have been plotted against."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistle. More than a dozen people stood up in the fields around him. They were all young and strong men. The two of them looked like warriors. They were thirty or forty years old and had a stout figure. They both had a saber knife in their hands. The others had three spears, and the others looked like wooden sticks and farm tools.
The more than ten men who suddenly appeared had ferocious and excited expressions. Their eyes looked at the refugees did not look at people at all, but like hunters looking at prey.
"You will not take the main road, but you will have to take this path. You must not be good people, you must be the spy of the Tartars. You will not kneel down, otherwise you will be killed together!"
These more than ten people were familiar with the routine. When they shouted, they were neatly sounded and held weapons. Dozens of refugees were shocked. Several of them were either scared to curl up, or even cried loudly. An older person became more expensive.
"I...we... are good people who flee!"
"The Tartars came over and their families were destroyed. How could we be a thief?"
Some people stutter, some people give it to others, but they just want to explain that they are just slandered as a thief and no one can accept it. However, everyone has a sense of ominousness in their hearts, and no matter how dull it is, they feel something is wrong at this time.
"Is it a thief who has to check it out before he knows that the thief is most willing to pretend to be a woman. We must check it out!" Someone said with a laugh, and the crowd laughed with a lewd look.
"What do you want to do?" This dirty word still aroused the young man. The strong refugee couldn't help but get angry, and shook off the dissuasion family and stood up with a stick.
He shouted, and there was also a little turmoil among the refugees. The people on Datong were different from the hinterland of Daming. They were military households in border towns. They had a lot of experience, had frequent contact with military and military affairs, and had a bit of a sense of daring to fight. One person stood up, and the others were also indignant. Among the more than thirty refugees, nearly twenty young and strong, with a good number of people, they were not worried about Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun. Although these two had swords and bows, they looked young and looked relatively decent and looked like they were not all the people. The refugees even subconsciously thought that the thieves would not touch these two people, and they would not meddle in other people's business.
As soon as the young and energetic refugee left the list, they saw more than ten men who were clamoring to investigate the thief and were a little silent. In the eyes of other refugees, it was obvious that evil did not suppress the righteousness. These bastards were hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and they were suddenly frightened, and the others were also ready to go out.
At this moment, among the more than ten people suddenly appeared, a man holding a spear shouted and stabbed the spear. Although his hands were trembling, he was quite a step.
No one could have thought that he would take action suddenly. The young and energetic refugee only had a wooden stick in his hand, which could block this standard spear. He didn't expect that the other party would really stab him. All the refugees thought that this was just a scare. They all thought that this was really scary. Everyone should stop making trouble. What if they were really bleeding from swords and guns? Everyone is a good citizen and does not have much money...
The spear really stabbed in, a little slow, but it still penetrated the young people's body. The people screamed and screamed. The man holding the spear pulled out the spear. After another moment, the movement became much smoother this time. Blood spurted out from the refugee and fell directly to the ground.
The scene was briefly silent, and even the crying children were quiet. Some were frightened, some were covered by their elders, and then they shouted in unison again: "Don't kneel down yet!"
You can see that the faces of these more than ten men are full of ferociousness. Seeing the attitude of killing people at any time, their yelling in unison this time was much better than the last time. The refugees couldn't help but kneel down nearly half of the people. The others were not brave, but probably were shocked.
It seems coincidental that at this time, there was a gust of wind on the ground. Datong was windy, nothing strange. The wind blew away the crops on both sides. People with sharp eyes could glimpse the people lying inside. If they had a better look, they could see those people tied up and stuffed with their mouths, and naked...
Although they were ignored intentionally or unintentionally, only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were the most conspicuous in the field. When they were on the horse, they were kneeling around them and it was difficult to not be conspicuous.
"Now this group of people may not want to let us go. Look, everyone in front, behind, and left and right have kneeled down. Even if we try our best to step on it, we will be stopped a few times."
Zhu Da said to Zhou Qingyun leisurely. Just as he was just tossing, both of them had already covered their faces and no one paid attention at first. When he looked carefully, he could only see two people riding a horse with their faces covered.
"You are honest and honest, but when you get into such a chaotic situation without rules, you will become a lawless beast. Qingyun, what do you think we should do?"
