Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 46 The Experience of Lianshan County
Along this main road, you come to the most prosperous street in the county. Some of the shops on both sides have closed doors, and some are in a mess, as if they have been robbed.

Zhou Yue walked into a store and looked carefully. The shelves in the store collapsed and there were debris everywhere. This was a grain store, and some people robbed all the grain.

After walking out of the shop, Zhou Yue looked at the robbed shops on the street. The bun shop, restaurant, butcher shop, all the food shops were all robbed. On the contrary, the doors of the blacksmith shop, jewelry shop, and carpenter shop were inedible. It was tightly closed, and it looked like it hadn't been robbed.

"Only grabbing food... It seems that a group of people fleeing famine from Pingcheng came here and a riot broke out." Zhou Yue speculated that if the bandits came into the city, they must be grabbing money and food. Here they only grabbed food but not food. Money can only be done by hungry refugees fleeing famine.

After grabbing the food, they knew that this place was close to Pingcheng and the Beiling people would attack, so they fled one after another. There was no one in the county. They probably all fled with them. The refugees could not resist them, let alone the Beiling people. .

Looking at the deserted streets, Zhou Yue sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was prosperous but the people suffered, and it died, and the people suffered.In this era, she has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

When returning to the team, Zhou Jiacheng was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw his daughter coming, he immediately ran over, "Is everything okay in there? Are you not injured?"

"Father, I'm fine, there's no one inside." Zhou Yue said.

"No one?" The village chief also gathered around and asked in confusion.

"Yes, the people inside have all left. There must have been a refugee riot. People fleeing from famine in Pingcheng came here, smashed the city gate, and robbed all the food inside." Zhou Yue explained.

"Riot! How could people fleeing the famine in Pingcheng riot?" The village chief was shocked.

"People fleeing famine have no food to eat. On the way to flee famine, their thoughts will become more and more extreme, because hunger, death and fear surround them all the time. It is not surprising that such a thing happens." Zhou Jiacheng explained that he has experienced fleeing famine. , understand those people better.

"Yes, they will become more and more brutal, grabbing food everywhere, gradually enjoying the feeling of plundering, and some of them will even become bandits." Zhou Yue added.

Zhou Jiacheng nodded, "That's right, when I was fleeing famine, I was robbed many times by refugees."

The village chief was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and there was fear in his eyes.If you encounter them, half of the more than 100 people in my village are children and elderly people, and they have no ability to fight back!
"Jia, Jiacheng, what should we do? What should we do? There are more than 100 people in this village, and they will definitely not be able to beat those people. At that time, it will be a dead end!" The village chief pinned his hopes on Zhou Jiacheng at this time. Be smarter than yourself and figure out a solution.

"Village chief, we are better now. We are behind them, and we are relatively safe." Zhou Jiacheng comforted, "We can't go on like this. We have to let women, old and young, go in the middle, and men go out, so as to protect the female relatives." .”

"Nowadays, the whole family walks together, and they are very scattered. It's okay when there is no danger, but it's not good when there is danger." Zhou Jiacheng continued.

The village chief nodded, his analysis was correct, "Jia Cheng, from now on, I will hand over the power to you, and you can direct and arrange as you please, are you willing?"

Li Dashan understood that in the current situation, someone must lead the team. He did not have that ability, but they were equivalent to a burden to Zhou Jiacheng, because they had oxcarts and people who knew martial arts, so they could go on their own.

Zhou Jiacheng was silent for a while, he knew what this meant, which meant that he would be tied to the villagers, "Okay, I will do my best."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed his utmost benevolence for him to agree to take care of the village at this time.

He immediately called everyone together, "Folks, there is a refugee riot in Lianshan County ahead, and all the food in the county has been robbed. Now we not only need to hurry, but we also need to prevent the refugees from robbing things. Everyone Everyone should be alert!"

As soon as the words were uttered, everyone in the village exploded, "What should we do? Why don't we go south, let's go back to the village." A woman said.

"I think it's okay! Let's go back. It's too dangerous ahead!" Another person echoed. They felt uneasy during the past two days of traveling, and the more tired they became, the more they complained.

In fact, this is normal psychology. People like to find a way out when encountering difficulties.

Seeing the people in the village backing down one after another, the village head was very angry, "Shut up, you all think about it, this Lianshan County can't resist the refugees, but can it resist the Beiling people? Why are they all running away? Yes, you left because you knew you would die if you stayed, and you actually want to go back and wait for death?"

After finishing speaking, the villagers bowed their heads and remained silent. That's right, wasn't it because they were fleeing the famine that they were afraid that the people from Beiling would come over?The refugees are so scary, let alone the Beiling people with swords!

"If you want to go back, I won't stop you. Anyway, I, the Li clan, have to go!" Li Dashan is the head of the Li clan, and there are more than 30 Li clan members in the village. He still has the final say.

"Here, village chief, don't be angry. We are too stupid. We didn't think clearly. We won't mention it in the future. We women don't understand anything." The woman who spoke first immediately apologized.

"Yes, we don't understand anything, don't be as knowledgeable as we are." Others also said that leaving the village team at this time is undoubtedly a dead end.

Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Li Dashan spoke again: "From today on, this team in our village will be led by Brother Zhou Jiacheng. Everyone must obey, including me. We must unite and fight all kinds of difficulties together." .”

"Ah? Leader Zhou Jiacheng? He is an outsider!" Someone whispered that the Zhou family had no relatives in the village and was from outside. They were a little dissatisfied.

"If you don't want to be obedient, you can leave the team, but if you choose to stay, you must obey the arrangement!" Li Dashan said loudly, if they are not obedient, the Zhou family will not care about these people. They are outsiders and have no relatives. Why bother to keep them alive.

When everyone heard this, although they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to obey the arrangement.

Seeing that everyone in the village was silent, Li Dashan called Zhou Jiacheng to the front, "Leave it to you!" After saying that, he walked into the crowd.

Zhou Jiacheng looked at the crowd. He knew that some people were dissatisfied, but he didn't care. "From now on, all the old and young women and children will walk in the middle of the team, and the men will walk on the outside. Surround the female relatives inside for protection."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers nodded repeatedly. This was a good way to protect their own women, which was a good thing for them.

"The grains are all put on the oxcart, and the grain cart walks in the middle. Others walk around the grain cart to protect our rations." Zhou Jiacheng continued.
