After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 27

Su Qing ignored his suspicious eyes and handed him the clothes with a cold face. As long as Ji Shuisheng didn't hurt Sakura, she didn't bother to care about or explain anything else.

Ji Shuisheng put on his wet clothes, and immediately felt much cooler. He smelled the soap, and his depressed brows relaxed.

"Let's go quickly, the bandits won't be able to catch up when we get out of the border of Guocheng."

Ji Shuisheng yelled towards the team behind, his deep voice seemed to have penetrating power, the birds in the mountain were startled and flew up, circling in the air and looking at the team underground like a long dragon.

This walk lasted all morning, and no one complained of being tired when everyone was in a hurry. The children were put in the car, which greatly accelerated the speed.

At noon, the sun shone down like a fire, and the lips of the villagers in Taohuawu were dry, cracked and bleeding. There was not much water left in the bamboo tubes, and they cut off the water if they could not find a source of water.

"Yongkang, I'll go ahead and look around to see if there is any water source? Take care not to let people fall behind."

Ji Shuisheng swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, and turned to Qiu Yongkang.

Compared with Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi, two stupid boys, Ji Shuisheng is more at ease with Qiu Yongkang, who is calm and calm.

"Okay, let's go!"

Qiu Yongkang wiped the sweat from his face. After three days of running away from famine, such a refined person has lost the appearance of Yushu facing the wind. His face was black and red from the sun. The meticulously combed hair is also a lot messy.

"Ah."

Ji Shuisheng nodded, and walked forward with vigorous strides. They hadn't walked out of this mountain range yet. With sufficient water, trees can grow lush and lush.

In addition, you can also find water sources based on the footprints of animals. In the jungle, animals are the masters. They know where there is water and food.

Ji Shuisheng grew up in the mountains and is very good at distinguishing animal footprints. He followed the animal footprints all the way to find the water source.

Not long after Ji Shuisheng left, there was the sound of horseshoes behind him, and everyone in Taohuawu was shocked. Did the bandits catch up?

The men hurried to the car to find knives, weapons to fight the bandits.

But what shocked them was that all the weapons captured by the bandits disappeared, none of them disappeared, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

"Take a fork, a hoe, and a shovel."

Su Qing shouted an order, then began to look at the surrounding situation, and directed Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi to go to a high place:
"Li Daniu, Jiang Laoqi, you go to the mountains on both sides and throw rocks down, everyone, don't rush forward and make room for this road."

People obeyed Su Qing's orders subconsciously. Her arrangements were orderly and unhurried, and her calmness made everyone less afraid, just as at ease as when Ji Shuisheng was around.

As soon as Su Qing finished making arrangements, the cavalry behind had already caught up. This is a well-trained troop, all dressed in official uniforms of the imperial court, holding a bow, crossbow, spear and machete, and yelling loudly:

"Stop and don't go, stop, or you will be killed."

These people had murderous looks on their faces, and pointed their knives and spears at the villagers in Taohuawu, shouting orders.

Where have the common people in Taohuawu seen such a formation?The officers and soldiers surrounding them were vicious, with murderous eyes, and the dangling knives in their hands seemed to cut off their necks at any time.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

With Qiu Yongkang's support, Mr. Qiu went over to negotiate with the leading officials. Qiu Yongkang hurriedly took out the road guide and household registration book and handed them to the leading officers and soldiers with both hands.

"Look, my lord, we are all good citizens. It is because our family suffered a disaster and we couldn't survive that we came out to flee famine."

The official took a look at Lu Yin and household registration, and looked up at Qiu Yongkang with sharp eyes like a sword: "Is everyone here? Where did you spend the night last night? Has anyone entered the city?"

"It's all here. Last night we spent the night at the mountain temple on the mountain north of Guocheng, and no one left."

Qiu Yongkang answered in the affirmative, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, and he was not flustered at all.

Su Qing took a deep look at him, this person will be able to achieve great things in the future, he is calm enough, no wonder Ji Shuisheng trusts him.

The leading official was wearing the official uniform of the general soldier, his eyes were like eagles, and he seemed to be able to see through people when he looked at people. He stared at Qiu Yongkang for a long time, Qiu Yongkang bowed his head respectfully, and everyone else was scared Trembling, he saw that he was an honest villager, so he waved to the soldier:

"Search."

These soldiers don't care about your common people's things. They are very rough when they rummage things, throwing things on the ground and trampling them. The villagers in Taohuawu dare not speak out.

The people don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't fight with the officials, especially the officials with knives.

After a rummage, no weapons were found. Looking at the hoes, forks, and shovels found, the leading official asked Qiu Yongkang:

"What are you doing with these things?"

"My lord, there are bandits on the way to escape from the wasteland and these can be used for self-defense. When we get to the new place, we have to farm and live. We need these farm tools to open up wasteland."

Qiu Yongkang hurriedly clasped his fists to answer, he was bookish, he spoke in an orderly manner and he didn't look like a thug, the people in Taohuawu were trembling with fright, the children were crying, women were holding their children, everyone looked nervously at those soldiers .

"Have you found anyone suspicious?"

The official reined in the horse and circled around Qiu Yongkang. Most people would be terrified by such a threat, and Qiu Yongkang also pretended to be quite frightened:
"Reporting to my lord, on the way to Guocheng, I met a group of bandits. They killed everyone they saw and robbed them. Are they suspicious?"

The leading official's eyes froze when he heard the word "bandit", and asked:
"bandit?"

"Yes, it killed a lot of people, but it was fierce."

Qiu Yongkang nodded, and Su Qing kept looking at those people. These soldiers were not county policemen, nor ordinary city guards. They looked like well-trained guards?
Reminiscent of what the officer and soldier who guarded the city said when they were about to enter Guocheng, if the imperial envoy came to Guocheng, then these people must be the guards with swords who came out of the imperial city.

They came out to arrest people, did something happen to the imperial envoy?

While Su Qing was studying these people, the leading official pulled the horse's rein and turned the horse's head, and ordered loudly to the soldiers under him:
"Walk."

These people whizzed away, a gust of wind came when they came, and a gust of wind blew when they left, and the horseshoes splashed dust in the air.

Old Man Qiu asked his son with a trembling voice:
"What happened?"

"I don't know, but it must be a big deal."

Qiu Yongkang shook his head, and didn't look away until he could no longer see those officials, and hurriedly urged:

"Hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong."
