Chapter 59 Departure
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of departure in a blink of an eye. Xiao Ninglang brought Xiaoyu to Tong's house early in the morning.

Tong Zhuzhu was worrying about the big bag her mother gave her, what kind of clothes and shoes, and a big bag for food, she even saw a pot?

She couldn't help but support her forehead and said with a headache: "Mom, I can't take so many things with me, so I'm only going for a few days, not moving."

Tong Dajiang also frowned and persuaded: "Yes, sister-in-law, it's too cumbersome to bring so many things, and it's not easy to hurry."

After she finished speaking, she packed up two changes of clothes by herself, packed some dry food, filled a pot of water, quickly tied up the bundle, and threw it on her shoulders.

This is the way to go into battle lightly. When you are ready, the three of you set off for the town.

When the time arrived, Scar had already been waiting at the pier with his godfather for a long time, so Wang Weiqing chartered a boat and walked by the water first, then got off the boat and walked.

Along the way, Tong Zhuzhu stretched her head and looked around. There were many slim lotus flowers in the river, and the pink flower buds were covered with crystal dew. This is the scenery in the Chinese text. She couldn't help sighing:

"The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers in the sun are different."

"Tong girl, what did you say?" Wang Weiqing asked her with some uncertainty.

"Ah, godfather, I didn't say anything, this lotus is so beautiful." She said guiltily, but fortunately she didn't hear it, she is a country girl, it's not unusual to know a few words, but it's so unusual to be able to compose poems.

Xiao Ninglang on the side hid the amazement in his heart, they didn't hear clearly, but they heard "The lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers in the sun are red."

It's really a good poem, this girl hides it really deep, who would have thought that she could read and compose poems.

It was strange, why did she feel that the man next to her was looking at her with very hot eyes, turned her head and looked at the scenery solemnly, with no expression on her face.

Did she get it wrong?It's the same as usual.

Just thinking about it, the boat slid for a few hours and disembarked at a pier. This is a small town, and everyone just passed by in a hurry because they were in a hurry.

She wiped the sweat off her head, her cheeks were flushed like ripe red apples, she supported her waist and asked:

"Godfather, how far is this An County? Can we get there tonight?"

Wang Weiqing also stopped, and said breathlessly: "Girl, we should be there if we turn down this mountain, we need to speed up, we can only get there after dark."

Looking at the mountaintop that has not been reached yet, she gritted her teeth and swore in her heart that she must buy a horse and learn to ride a horse in the future.

Xiao Ninglang and Dao Scar were the only ones in their group who had good physical strength, and they didn't see how tired they were after walking for so long.

Xiao Ninglang looked at the girl who was lagging behind, turned around and put her burden on his shoulders:
"Do you want me to carry you?"

Although she really wanted to say yes without backbone, but under the watchful eyes of all the people, it is better to go by herself.

"No, I'll go by myself, don't worry, I can."

As if she wanted to prove something, she tried her best to pull herself together and go up.

Xiao Ninglang thoughtfully searched for something, walked into the nearby forest, and slowly left the group.

It's just that no one noticed, and everyone was concentrating on their way.

Tong Zhuzhu was sweating, fanning the wind with her hands while crawling. Suddenly, a stick with two rough ends was stretched out in front of her:
"It's not so tiring to walk with it."

The familiar voice came to her ears, and she took the stick, and she felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

The man was sweating profusely, and his lips were a little chapped due to lack of water. She said with distressed concern:
"Look at you sweating profusely, drink some water quickly."

With a smile on his face, he took off the water bottle on his waist, and poured two sips of water into his mouth.

It almost dazzled her eyes...

With the help of wooden sticks, it was indeed much better. In the evening, the group of people finally saw the gate of the city, and they entered An County a few hundred meters away.

Tong Zhuzhu and Tong Dajiang relaxed their bodies and sat on the ground: "It's almost there, let's rest and eat something, I'm tired and hungry."

Wang Weiqing was also extremely tired, and sat down on the ground regardless of his image.

Everyone was going to rest and fill their stomachs before entering the city. Everyone took out their own dry food and was about to eat.

However, a few thin men emerged from the surroundings, with thin cheekbones on their faces, without any flesh, looking scary at the thief, holding a sickle and ax in their hands.

One of the men with a sickle shouted to the crowd: "To rob, I opened this mountain, and I picked this tree. If you want to pass by from now on, leave it to buy money."

Dao Scar was happy when he heard it, isn't this my previous line?
"You have robbed me, aren't you afraid that I will rob you? I used to be a gangster too."

"Pfft, haha."

She couldn't help laughing.

The man stared at her and said:

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh, hand over the money and food quickly."

"I don't laugh, but we don't have any money." Tong Zhuzhu said nonsense in a serious manner.

It's so bloody, she can meet this incident, and thought it was a bloody line from a TV series.

"No money? Food is fine, hurry up and take out your food." The man who spoke swallowed, he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Now Xiao Ninglang and the others finally saw some clues that these people were not professional.

Looking at everyone's skinny appearance, they used sickles and axes to rob, and their clothes were all patched. Except for the scars, everyone could tell who these people were.

Wang Weiqing opened his mouth and said:
"Are you people from An County?"

Several people panicked, and the leader was also dumbfounded. They were seen through, what should they do?He was so frightened that he knelt down all of a sudden, crying bitterly and begging:

"Please don't report to the officials. We don't want anything. We are forced to. This year's crops have been plagued by pests. There is no harvest. The wife and children at home have no rations. Otherwise, we wouldn't come out to rob people!"

Xiao Ninglang and Tong Dajiang quickly helped them up.

Wang Weiqing frowned, he didn't expect the pests in An County to be so serious, the people didn't have any rations, and it was unknown how many people would starve to death.

Now that these people were forced to do nothing, he naturally didn't care about it, instead he took out the dry food on his body and gave it to them.

Tong Zhuzhu and others also distributed the dry food they brought to several people.

The man in the lead said that you are all good people, good people, and stuffed dry food into his mouth hungrily.

Tong Zhuzhu and the others sat aside, waiting for them to finish eating.

The men didn't eat all the dry food, but only ate a third of it, and carefully packed it in their arms, presumably to leave it for the family.

This action also made everyone feel a little more favorable towards them.

Wang Weiqing saw that they had finished eating, so he walked over and asked them their names and the situation in An County.

The man who took the lead was Zhao Ping, a villager in An County. In the past month, the vegetables grown in the field, or the food, had been ruined by a black worm.

The worm has two big pincers, and the crops in the field are basically cut off by the pincers.

At first, it didn't come out until night. During the day, the villagers didn't know what was ruining the food. Many people went to the field to watch at night, so they didn't know about this insect.
