After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 255 The Evil of Man

It was easy to get out, and the official made a gap for the carriage to pass without asking any questions.

Anyone who wanted to come in would squeeze through the crack. The officer pulled out his knife and shouted to stop. After Qin Yao and his party passed by, he immediately closed the fence and stabilized the situation.

There were sounds of confrontation between the two sides behind him, including curses, threats, and a chaotic mess.

But this has nothing to do with Qin Yao and others.

After leaving the checkpoint, the scenery on the road was obviously different. Only the green of the ground could be seen. All the wild vegetables and fruits growing on the roadside were only bare poles.

Every 34 meters you walk, you can see a small group of people sitting or lying on the roadside. They are men and women, mostly young adults with children. They carry backpacks or large bags on their backs. Their clothes are dirty and their faces are dirty. Sallow and thin.

The whole body was covered in gray, but the only pair of eyes that saw someone suddenly lit up, and a faint green light was visible, which was very frightening.

San Lang and Si Niang were still lying in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside through the open back door. When they suddenly met such a pair of eyes, the brother and sister took a deep breath.

Dalang found out in time and closed the back door tightly with a bang.

Erlang climbed to the front door and reported to Qin Yao in a low voice: "Mommy, the looks of these people on the roadside are so scary. Sanlang and Si Niang were frightened just now, but the eldest brother has already closed the back door."

"Just turn it off, don't look around." Qin Yao instructed.

Erlang nodded to express his understanding. When he met villagers begging in the town earlier, Aniang had given them instructions.

You can have good intentions, but the prerequisite is that you don't threaten your own safety.

The eyes of these people on the roadside are so scary, don’t dare let them get close!
However, just as the conversation between mother and son ended, the carriage in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Liu Ji asked loudly and unhappily.

Da Zhuang poked his head out from the side of the carriage, pointed to the front and said, "Someone is kneeling on the road, Master Ding's carriage has stopped!"

That's why he couldn't get through.

It's okay for two cars to run parallel on the official road, but the big guys are in a group, so it's not easy to overtake and go past Ding's house.

"What's going on!" Qin Yao climbed to the top of the carriage to check. It turned out that several people were kneeling in front of the Ding family's carriage, kowtowing and begging for food.

The driver's heart softened, completely forgetting Qin Yao's instructions just now, and stopped the carriage.

Qin Yao pursed her lips, speechless and choked.

Liu Ji looked back and saw that the man who was lying on the side of the road suddenly turned over and sat up and gathered around them tentatively. Then without any reaction, dirty hands stretched out and almost poked him in the heart. .

"Master, please do me a favor and reward me with food. We escaped from the disaster all the way. When we got to this place, the food in our hands was long gone. The children were screaming with hunger. Please have mercy on us."

"You can eat whatever you don't want, or you can eat the leftovers. The main thing is that the child won't be hungry. If he doesn't eat anymore, he will die. Have mercy on us, Mr. Xiangong!"

Liu Ji was so frightened that he quickly waved away the outstretched hands and shouted: "Go away! Get away! I don't even have enough to eat!"

"Grandma!" Siniang screamed from the carriage: "They stole our bookbox!"

"Whoops!" A sharp sword shot down from the roof of the car and pierced the hand that was touching the back of the car.

"Ah!" A painful scream rang out, and several men who had already reached for the suitcases at the back of the carriage looked up in horror, met Qin Yao's cold eyes, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Seeing that Qin Yao actually took out a sharp weapon, Yu Yi quickly took a few steps back.

Qin Yao shouted angrily: "Ding Shi!" Seeing that the stalled carriage in front finally started to move, the guards stepped forward to drive away the people blocking the road. Then they jumped off the carriage, picked up the captured suitcase and tied it to the back compartment again. He got up, patted the carriage door, and urged Liu Ji to drive.

While the carriage was moving, Qin Yao also sat on the shaft of the carriage again, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and drove away the refugees who wanted to surround her.

Liu Li, who was walking in the middle, was also shocked. He didn't expect that after stopping for just a moment, there were so many refugees gathered around the roadside.

Ding Shi, who was leading the charge, was squatting by the car door and giving the driver a bloody lecture.

The coachman realized that he had made a mistake, lowered his head and drove the carriage, driving past those kneeling people.

It turned out that he was also afraid of death. When he saw the carriage approaching, he immediately dodged and got out of the way.

Coupled with the guards driving away from both sides, the refugees on the roadside saw that they were not easy to mess with at all, and they yelled and cursed, no matter how unpleasant they were.

Rich people who have no conscience, no gain and no intention, just know how to bully ordinary people, and have a strong hatred of the rich.

Ding Shi broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. The person who had just begged him pitifully turned out to have such a terrifying face in the blink of an eye. It was the first time for the young man to encounter such a situation, and he was completely shocked.

Only then did he understand why Qin Yao had given such instructions just now.

Because you can’t even imagine how evil people can be.

Seeing that they had guards and a ruthless Qin Yao, those people did not catch up again.

Qin Yao and his party drove out for more than ten miles, and then the speed slowed down.

But as we get further away from the capital, more and more refugees appear on the road.

Most of the time they will stay near a certain village or town and beg for food with local villagers.

When these refugees arrived, almost all the vegetables grown in the fields and fruits grown on the mountains were stolen.

In order to protect their property and food, each village organized many people to guard the only way into the village to guard against these refugees.

When the situation gets fierce, the two sides will start fighting. These refugees, who look pitiful at first, are just as fierce as bandits, and they are very scary.

Especially those young and middle-aged men who act alone are more generous than taking care of children and the elderly. If you see a refugee team full of men, you should be even more wary.

Carriages walking on the road can easily be stopped and money is forcibly demanded.

Because there is still food for sale in Zijin Mansion, money has become the number one target for these people.

The government does not have that many manpower to deal with these refugees from other provinces who come to the country rashly, so they can only let it go and let the local governments handle the situation according to their own circumstances.

With the government's attitude, the people became more and more cruel. Sometimes the refugees fought among themselves for food resources, and it was not uncommon for many people to die.

Liu Ji watched all the way and no longer dared to question the authenticity of the information Qin Yao had obtained. Instead, he became worried about the situation in the village.

"Our village won't be surrounded by refugees like this, right?" Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao worriedly.

There are [-] kilograms of wheat in the granary at home. There is no one to take care of him at home. If the wheat he worked so hard to transport was stolen, he would be heartbroken!

Qin Yao said calmly: "Our village should be fine. Even if something happens, I believe the young men in our village can handle it."

"Dad and eldest brother are both at home, and they will definitely help take care of our food."
