Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 378
The rich households in Lushan County got the news, and the government officials also got the news, of course, this is a later story.

It was a difficult trip for Jiang Ping to bring people back. Apart from time constraints, medicinal materials were not as easy to find as other grains and goods that had been prepared in advance. In addition, he had to find a person who was proficient in various miscellaneous diseases and emergency services, and was willing to travel thousands of miles to Yuzhong. It is not easy for the doctor.

Forget about these, although it is troublesome, but with Liu Yong and Mrs. Qian Siniang's contacts in He Song Town during the past few days, and a lot of money that is much higher than the market price, it took a few days to finally pay the price. Medicinal materials and the doctor sitting in the court, half-pleased and half-forced with luggage, boarded the escort car back to Lushan County.

The real trouble is still on the way back to Yuzhou Prefecture.

There are seven or eight prefectures involved in the flood in Yuzhong this time. Although Yunan has not been affected by the disaster, it is because of the good situation in Yunan that this has caused various forces to move around the border of Yunan. Bandits.

Jiang Ping brought this team of chariots and horses with sufficient goods and a large number of people. As soon as he entered Yuzhou, he quickly became a fat sheep in the eyes of many small forces.

Most of the official uniforms of the prefectures in Yuzhou are similar, but they are completely different from those of Yunzhou Prefecture.

Jiang Ping and the others were wearing the official uniforms of Lushan County, so it was not easy to wear them in Yunzhou Prefecture.But he didn't want to have just passed the Yunzhou border, and before he found a suitable opportunity to change, he encountered a group of rogues with hundreds of people.

In order to make it easier to change the official uniforms along the road, the escort car back to Yuzhong this time did not have the flag of the Four Seas Escort Bureau, and the hundreds of escorts on the car did not wear the uniforms of the four seas, but ordinary hard clothes. This makes this long series of convoys look like a caravan of merchants carrying goods from north to south, not like escorts.

If it weren't for this, this wave of rogues with only a few hundred people would not dare to intercept them easily because they have twice as many people as the caravan.

Of course the results are self-evident.

Although the number of bandits in that wave is not small, there are only a dozen or so people who have seen the real kung fu in the hands of blood. Disabled, but basically useless.

In the usual way of robbing other merchants, the role of these people is to frighten people with their heads, and to bury their corpses afterwards to do coolies.

Jiang Ping and his team dealt with these gangsters as if they were playing.

If it wasn't for the time urgency, and because of the tattered and poor appearance of this gang of rogues, there would be nothing good to keep. I'm afraid that with Jiang Ping's temper, he might really go up the mountain in a hurry and flatten the lair of these rogues.

This disaster did not cause Jiang Ping and the others to lose anything, but after all, it was delayed for most of the day. Coupled with the bad weather, the convoy did not catch up with the original village before nightfall, so they had to temporarily settle in the wild. Live in the dry woods.
-
Whoever imagined it, this move led to troubles in the future.

In today's Yuzhou Prefecture, there are not only rogue bandits who are rebellious, but also Jianghu gangs who occupy land for the king to seek benefits, and there are also border army soldiers who work for tigers and take advantage of power to make profits. Disaster-affected refugees.

When Jiang Ping led his people to resettle in the dry forest temporarily, he never thought that there would be such a large group of refugees deep in the forest, with as many as several thousand people.

In fact, there have been nearly three years of severe drought in Yuzhou Prefecture, and in the last half of the year, there were no victims on the road. Those who escaped from the famine, those who were able to walk had finished walking, and those who could not probably died on the road.

On the contrary, during this period of time, there was a sudden flood in Yuzhong, and there were many more refugees fleeing for survival in the counties of Yuzhong, but there was no flood in the south of Yuzhong.

When Jiang Ping's team went to Yunzhou County with an empty car, they did not encounter a large number of refugees in the border of southern Yunnan, but they didn't want to encounter such a large number of refugees in the depths of such a dry forest that no one cared about when they came back.

Most of these refugees were ragged and haggard, sitting in groups or alone in the depths of the dead wood forest, without even making a sound.

If Jiang Ping and others hadn't accidentally entered the edge of the deadwood forest today and lit torches again, they probably wouldn't have discovered that there were so many refugees hiding in the depths of this deadwood forest.

That's right, these refugees are so quiet that they don't even look like living people.

At that time, there were not many convoys passing by this area, and even if there were, you would not notice that there were people hidden inside if you passed by in a hurry, and there were still thousands of people.
-
Outsiders suddenly entered the withered forest. In fact, not only Jiang Ping and others panicked, but also the gang of refugees.

When the halo of the torch in the bodyguard's hand inadvertently hit the faces of a row of refugees closest to them, one could clearly see the frightened and panicked expressions on the faces of these skinny refugees.

But even so, these refugees did not make any movement, did not move, did not shout, and a few women were so frightened that they opened their mouths wide, but they still did not let out a scream.

The state of these people is so weird that even Jiang Ping, who has always traveled all over the world and is used to eating and sleeping in the open, can't help but feel his scalp tingle, not to mention that there are many young escorts in the team who have just joined the escort team and their faces are pale from fright. .

The unsteady ones retreated several steps in a row, and almost threw the torches in their hands on the haystack in a panic. Fortunately, the experienced escort ordered these boys to stabilize first.

But this did surprise the refugees who were sitting quietly inside.

The victims sitting in the front retreated in an orderly manner, but the victims in the back suddenly stood up, and a large black mass moved forward.Nothing could be heard in the whole forest except for the sound of movement.

The most terrible thing is that although the victims did not speak, they seemed to be well-trained. In a very short time, they turned the team into a fan shape, and then semi-surrounded Jiang Pingping.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Ping hurriedly ordered people to stop the carriage and retreat. Unfortunately, they had too much cargo and were not familiar with the topography of the dry forest. The night was dark and the weather was not very good. There was not even a moonlight. The pace of retreat was much slower than expected.

In this way, the group of chariots and horses had just evacuated to the edge of the dry forest, and before they set foot on the official road, Jiang Ping and others were blocked by these refugees.

If it's just ordinary travel, with light clothes and simple clothes, Jiang Ping and the others are sure to break through the siege quickly even if the opponent has a large number of people.

But the situation is different now. There are [-] or [-] carts of goods, and each cart is full. These can be sent to Lushan County for life-saving food and medicinal materials. An old doctor who has no power to restrain a chicken.

If it is really disturbed by these disaster victims.
Jiang Ping and the others were sweating coldly. If the old doctor and the medicinal materials were damaged because of this, they would really be ashamed to see Seventh Sister.
