Chapter 278

"Strength?" The leader snorted, "Are you sure you're a refugee?"

"That's right!" The second child smiled obsequiously: "It is indeed a refugee! To confirm, the seventh child and I tested him several times, and he couldn't fight back when he was beaten or scolded! Moreover, there is no force, just a few light kicks , all bleeding!"

"I thought, although this person is nothing, but at least his strength is not bad for carrying the burden..."

The commander glanced at him: "Isn't it you two? If it weren't for your rough methods, we wouldn't be able to find any peasants who are willing to work in the nearby villages. As for accepting unclear refugees?"

"For the matter of this coal mine, the above means that we must hurry up! But, you two bastards, let alone hurry up now, it is even difficult to complete the project on schedule!"

The smile on the second child's face remained unchanged, and he did scold countless times in his heart.Now you're putting the blame on us?At the beginning, who forced their brothers to directly lead someone to rob because they thought the method was too slow?
With such a shot, although the local villagers did not know the situation, they did not dare to come over.They even imitated the original coal mine owner and paid wages to civilian husbands, and they directly increased them several times.

It's just...the villagers felt that this incident was abnormally weird, and they didn't dare to come...

"Commander, if you want me to tell you, let my two brothers take people to those villages and kill a few people to stand up!" The second child whispered: "When the time comes, let's see who dares to be disobedient!"

"An idiot is an idiot!" The commander glanced at him with displeasure on his face: "What if you alarmed the government by doing this? We must not let the government see it, understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right!" The second child didn't dwell on this topic any longer: "Then, Commander, shall I let that refugee in?"

The leader pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Go! If there are such refugees in the future, they can also be gathered in! We must speed up!"

The second child got the order, got up and left.When he came to the entrance, he took out a black pancake from his sleeve and threw it on the ground: "Eat it, get out of here!"

Zi Shisan almost used the fastest speed to pick up the pancake from the ground, smiled and took a big bite.This pancake is made of some kind of sorghum noodles, and it is a bit rough in the mouth, and even feels a little bit pungent to the throat.The taste is not delicious, even... a bit unpalatable.

It's just that Zi Shisan didn't struggle at all, and he devoured the whole cake. Then he looked at the two gatekeepers and said with a smile, "Thank you two adults! The little one will leave now..." Turn around and leave.

After walking a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait!"

It was the so-called second child who stopped him. After looking up and down, he finally said, "You are lucky! I happen to have a sick person here! Will you take the burden?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zi Shisan's mouth: "My lord, I will!"

Zi Shisan swallowed the last bit of cake in his mouth, stood up and looked into the coal mine: "My lord, before me, I was the best farmer in our village!"

……

In a village beyond the valley.

A boy who looked like a refugee walked slowly into the village.He seemed to have just escaped from a group of refugees.On his face, there is still a bit of confusion that has lost the way of adulthood, and of course, there is also a sense of numbness brought about by the long-term refugee life.

There are not many people in the village.However, even in the daytime, there were only a few people on the road, walking hurriedly with a trace of fear.For the newly-appeared homeless boy, they just took a brief look, and then continued to move forward, without paying any more attention.

The teenager seemed to be used to this, and didn't pay extra attention to these people.In the long-term refugee life, almost everyone will get used to this situation.

Refugees, in essence, will interfere with the lives of local people.They came from a place of disaster, and many people believed that among the refugees, there were some characters like disaster stars who would bring disaster to the local area.

Of course, not many people think this way, and even if they think about it, they may not be able to say it or show it.The most essential reason is food rations.Refugees, without food, want to make a living and can only beg.As for the common people, after paying the agricultural tax, they are still hungry. Where can there be more food for you?

However, it would be fine if the refugees were half-starved and half-fed, but many of them would starve to death soon.People are going to die, so who cares about moral laws?If you don't want to give alms, the refugees will steal, cheat, and rob!After all, if a person is hungry, he will change his child to eat, so what is stealing and cheating?
There are many such things!In Daqin, it is said that there is a small disaster in three years and a major disaster in five years.But in fact, disasters of different scales occur almost every year.It's just that because they are too common, many small-scale ones that only affect one place or two places are nothing.Therefore, there are many refugees!Many people will be hostile to refugees, or at least be wary.

After all, the upper classes have too much wealth in their hands, while the refugees and farmers are just two sides of the same body, struggling to survive helplessly.They are still farmers today, but maybe they will become refugees when there is a fire tomorrow.

And if the refugees survived this catastrophe, they would eventually turn back into farmers.

The boy just walked so numbly, without even stopping for a moment.He has walked through three villages in this way, and he never stopped when no one called him.He perfectly plays a child who is separated from his father and mother, hungry and poor, but the shyness and fear of the teenager prevent him from asking for help from the outside world as usual.

This person is naturally Qingwa.After Zi Shisan gave some pointers, the boy also thought for a long time.It's not that he has never seen a refugee. In a sense, he was a refugee before he followed Lifu to live in the prison.

Of course, he was as hungry and poor as the refugees, but because of the existence of Lifu, he was stronger and taller than ordinary refugees.

Of course, this also gave him great inspiration.To play an ordinary refugee, he doesn't need to do anything extra.You just need to let yourself be a little depressed and a little scared.

Therefore, abandoning the imitation of appearance, the boy simply dressed up and went on the road.In order to make himself more credible, he endured it in a daze, and didn't take the initiative to talk or beg!
Anyone who sees him must think that this is an ordinary homeless boy.

In this village, no one speaks...
