Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 160 The powerlessness of the world

In the carriage, Song Yeqing didn't sleep for a long time.

Even if they were all talking about how powerful and smart Song Yeheng was, and what he had done with them.

But from those seemingly relaxed words, she could see the danger and bloody storm in the cottage.

There, if you don't pay attention, you will be decapitated and die without a place to bury you.

But Song Yeheng stayed in that environment for more than four years.

This made Song Yeqing's heart twitch fiercely.

I hope that the second brother will go well in the future and everything will be successful.He has suffered enough.

Compared with Song Yeheng's five years, Mrs. Song is really lucky.

After thinking for a long time, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Once again approaching the border of Qizhou.Because of the war, there were several times more people fleeing on the road than a month ago.

The speed of the team slowed down uncontrollably, because there were too many people on the road and they couldn't get out of the way.

In the past two nights, Song Yeqing could hear extremely mixed voices outside.

Whether near, or far... robbing money, robbing people, robbing cars, robbing food... crying, shouting, cursing, screaming...

Some refugees have formed sizable groups.They defend each other and even attack each other, looking like they can pounce on you at any time.

If people can't survive, how can they care about etiquette, righteousness, honesty, sincerity and kindness.

But at present, these ten strong men straddle swords and ride horses around the carriage, no one dares to make a move.

Song Yeqing closed her eyes and sighed.There was nothing she could do about these situations.

My own ability is not enough to prevent everything from happening, nor can I willfully drag others into trouble.

If she interfered and caused trouble, even ten strong men would not be able to resist a hundred or so people.

So unless they really encountered something they couldn't stand, they didn't care about things on the road.

Everyone in the team was on alert, and everyone kept their swords on their bodies.Even eating a meal is much more low-key, it can be said that it is hiding from people.

What do you mean by something you can't stand?As it is now.

"Stop! Give the child back!"

Song Yeqing had just returned from a remote location when she saw two men on the side of the road robbing an old woman for a child.

She became angry in an instant. This was the third child-robbing incident they encountered on the road.

Leaving other things aside, in today's situation, are these people robbing their children to raise them with good food and drink?
The fate of the snatched child is obvious, and the two brothers in the previous life are a lesson from the past.

Song Yeqing took the knife that was always on her back in her hand, and approached slowly.

She tried to persuade: "I will leave Qizhou soon, the imperial court has a disaster relief center in Dongtang City, and I can get there in at most three days, so there is no need, you know?"

If you can reason first, reason first. In the previous three times, the other party released him twice.

"I'm going to starve to death! I don't care what relief he asks, I want it now!"

The thin man pulled the child who should be only two years old, and shouted angrily with red eyes.

"Let go of me soon...my master will not let you go..." The old woman lay on the ground and grabbed the child's feet.

There were already bloodstains on her face, her hair was disheveled, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Another man kicked her away and said, "That's right! It's hard to wait for her to take orders. Don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll even..."

He didn't say the rest, because he knew that there were many people around Song Yeqing, so he was just threatening now.

Song Yeqing frowned, looking at the crying child.

what to do?The other party is holding a knife. If they rob it by force, they are afraid that they will continue to do nothing and directly hurt the child.

Xiaojia realized that Song Yeqing had been there for a long time, and after walking a few steps, she saw that she was confronting someone, so she hurriedly called someone over.

"I advise you not to act rashly, let the child go, and talk slowly about anything."

Song Yeqing is not a roundabout personality, but the extremely difficult situation at this time made her have to take it easy.

Xiao Jia and the others had already surrounded them, and the two men couldn't run away even if they wanted to.

The man who was strangling the child faintly broke down emotionally. He pointed the knife at them and said through gritted teeth:

"You people are full, how can you understand my suffering. I'm going to starve to death! I'm going to starve to death!"

He yelled the last sentence, and his expression gradually became crazy.

"Back, everyone back!" Seeing that something was wrong with him, Song Yeqing asked Xiao Jia and the others to take a few steps back.

The other party is like this, and can no longer bear the pressure from the outside world.

"Listen to me, I'll trade food with you for my child. I have food. If it's not enough, you'll survive, really..."

Song Yeqing tried his best to stabilize the other party's emotions.

But the man seemed to be unable to hear, and continued:

"The family is gone, the father died along the way, the wife was killed, the child... the child, woo..." He sobbed.

The other man also seemed to have thought of something, sighed deeply, and stopped blocking the old woman who was crawling forward.

After understanding what he said, even men like Xiao Jia who had seen the world couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially Xiao Bing, bent over and retched a few times, then pointed at the man and said, "Bastard, you... are just..."

"Don't..." Song Yeqing wanted to stop him from saying such words.

Because the man is on the verge of complete collapse at this time, as long as he is given a little stimulation, he will do crazy and irreversible things at any time.

Sure enough, he looked up to the sky and laughed. "I am! I am a beast inferior to pigs and dogs!"

The child he was strangling had stopped crying, and his face was blushing, making Song Yeqing more and more anxious.

Suddenly, the man raised the knife, and just when everyone thought he was going to hurt the child, he stabbed the knife towards his companion.

The man grimaced and stared at him fiercely. "You ate too... how about it, huh?"

While talking, he turned the knife around, and dropped the child casually with the other hand.

The old woman quickly crawled over and knelt down, picked up the child, and cried something.

At this time, no one cared, because they were all fooled by this change.

"You...are you crazy!?" The man who was stabbed tremblingly looked down at the place where the knife was inserted, obviously shocked.

Not to mention him, Song Yeqing and the others were also caught off guard by this turn of events.

Why all of a sudden...

The knife was not at the fatal place, and the person who was stabbed also reacted and wanted to escape.

But the man grabbed his shoulder and pulled out the knife again and again...

Only now did they react.Song Yeqing yelled: "Stop him!" She rushed over first.

"Don't come here!" The man looked crazy, covered in blood, and pointed the knife at her.
