Fast-wearing female supporting roles: the villain is pretending to be pitiful again

Chapter 1971 We Are Really Fleeing Famine, Not Bandits (253)

In the cold winter in the Northeast, it is really blessed and lucky to encounter a small hot spring.

At least it won't be too cold here in winter.

In addition, they no longer have to worry about salt, and the villagers are very happy.

Although there is nothing but a little luggage now, and the house needs to be rebuilt and the land reclaimed, but none of the bold guys in Yigao panicked.

Under the command of Lao Lizheng, he began to be busy.

Those who pile earth bricks pile earth bricks, those who cut trees cut trees, those who gather firewood gather firewood, those who hunt hunt hunt, those who dig wild vegetables dig wild vegetables, and those who pick up needlework to make clothes and shoes.

In short, whether it is the elderly or women and children, they all have their own tasks.

Yun Miao led a small team to boil salt with a large pot and wooden barrels, and then went hunting or something.

After working for more than ten days, waiting for the simple earthen houses to be completed, before it snowed, the old village took the villagers, holding torches and facing the cold wind, to a distance of more than 60 miles. small county town.

In addition to settling down, their trip was to buy winter rations.

Originally, people like them who fled from refugees should go through the government office first when they arrive at the place, and let the government arrange the place of settlement and stipulate the land for opening up wasteland. , In such a cold Northeast, they are afraid that they will freeze to death and starve to death.

Therefore, I have to grit my teeth and cut it first, then play it, and talk about it after this winter.

Even after the winter, you have to relocate.

Now, the house is basically completed, and some bacon, wild vegetables and wild fruits have been saved. After discussing it, they still feel at ease to settle down first.

Although the big guys have good skills, they are just ordinary people in their bones. They have been farming for generations and have a natural fear of government offices.

Moreover, if you don't settle down, you always feel like a rootless duckweed, with nowhere to land, and you can't even sleep well.

When we arrived outside the gate of the small county town, it was still early and the sun had only climbed up, so it was around nine o'clock.

Leaving most of the people outside the county seat, Lao Li, accompanied by Qiao Laosan, Biaozi, and Yang Laoer, each paid three copper coins and entered the city.

After inquiring for a while, he spent some money to find an informant, gritted his teeth and took out a hundred taels of silver, and contacted the county magistrate who was able to talk in the yamen. Finally, after noon, we finally met magistrate.

After talking about the situation and demands, he took out the household registration certificate and road guides, which proved that all the people in Qiaojia Village were honest farmers.

For this group of villagers who fled all the way from the northwest, both the county magistrate and the county magistrate were shocked.

Although I have heard before that some refugees fleeing from famine came to the Northeast, but this is really the first time I have encountered them in this small and remote county.

The county magistrate discussed it with his subordinates, and cautiously, he immediately sent people on horseback to the yamen of several nearby counties to inquire about the matter.

It's not that they are too cautious, but that the people in Qiao's Village are all well-built, even the elderly and children are very energetic, and they don't look like refugees fleeing famine at all.

Besides, King Zhenbei in the northwest is fighting with the capital in full swing, and there are so-called rebels in the north and south. Who knows if these people from the northwest are some kind of spies?
Furthermore, the men among these people all looked very tough and had a strong aura, which was completely different from ordinary ordinary people. Could it be that they were bandits who migrated from somewhere?
