Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 12
Ma Min'er is not a child of a certain age. She knew very well what flashed in the eyes of the wretched man. She wanted to take advantage, but it was not that simple. She just stretched out her hand and punched him with an uppercut.

"Ah..." Chen Heizi fell down in response to the fist, hugging his face with his hands, in excruciating pain.

"father……"

"father……"

The children of the Chen family looked at Ma Min'er in horror, and they looked at the young lady in front of them in disbelief. She is not a charming lady from the capital, but she is as ruthless as Lian's son.

"Little... little lady..." Even Mrs. Guo Li was frightened.

No matter what the brothers and sisters think, or what the Guo family thinks, Ma Min'er lowered her eyelids: "If you want to live, you have to be ruthless."

The crowd was silent.

Guo Li was the first to say: "Yes, yes, the little lady is right, Daping, go down to the well to get water."

"Yes, mother!" Guo Daping came back to his senses and said to Ma Dalang: "We are the two biggest and the tallest, you hold me and go down the well first, and I will catch you when I get down the well."

Looking away from his sister, Ma Dalang and Guo Daping went down to the well to fetch water together.

The Chen family was eager to try, but they were shocked by Ma Miner's gaze, and they dared not move.The Chen family didn't move, the crowd had a herd mentality, and the refugees stood quietly by the well. They didn't realize that no matter how tough the little lady in front of them was, she was afraid of being besieged, just like a fierce tiger on the grassland, their natural enemy It turned out to be a humble hyena.

Ma Miner's face was full of vigor, but her heart was empty. She kept holding the hand at her side tightly, her eyes didn't blink, and her whole body was aggressive until Ma Dalang and the others got the water out of the well. When guarding them far away, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as the Ma and Guo families left, the Chen family and the refugees once again rioted to grab the well water.

Seeing their backs going away, some refugees who hadn't squeezed into the well talked a lot, "I heard that the people in the capital are powerful, it really is!"

"People from big places are really different from us."

"It's different, it's more ruthless than us."

……

The Ma and Guo families found some wild grass roots and edible leaves, and they finally had a full stomach from tonight to tomorrow morning.

"Brother, you take your younger siblings to sit at the entrance of the village, and wait for the messenger to set off together."

"Then... what about you?" For some reason, Ma Dalang became afraid of his elder sister.

"I'm going to see dad." Ma Min'er raised her head and looked towards Xi Tian, ​​it was almost evening.

"I...I'll go to see my father, you...you take your younger siblings!" After saying that, he stuffed the water ladle into Ma Min'er, turned around and ran away.

Those guys couldn't do much in broad daylight, so with a secret sigh, Ma Min'er sat down by the root of the tree on the path, bowed her head silently, waiting for her way.

Ma Sanlang held his younger sister's hand and sat next to his elder sister under the tree root, his little mouth tightly pursed.

"Close your eyes and sleep for a while, you have to drive all night."

The sudden sound scared Ma Sanlang to respond urgently: "Oh oh oh!"

Ma Min'er felt the little guy tremble, and stretched out her hand to hug them to her lap, "Go to sleep!"

"Yes, sister!"

After traveling with his father and elder brother for a day and a night, the seven-year-old Ma Sanlang was really tired, and fell asleep immediately while cuddling on his sister's lap.

"Little sister, sit on the left side of my sister and come to sleep."

Ma Yue'er was timid, and carefully sat on the left side of her sister, and gently snuggled into her lap, thinking that she dared not sleep, but fell asleep right away.

Guo's mother and son were also sitting on the side of the road, resting and waiting to be relieved.

"Why did you follow the exile?" Ma Min'er suddenly asked.

Mrs. Guo Li was dozing off when she suddenly heard a voice and woke up in a jerk, "Isn't it just because of the official post that he has a big knife."

"They won't protect you."

"But when other refugees and rogues see knives, they don't dare to raise them up to snatch people and eat them."

Ma Min'er can understand grabbing food, "Stealing people?"

"Ok!"

"What did you steal it for?"

"Most of them sell money for food." Mrs. Guo Li squinted and looked into the distance.

"What about the small part?"

Mrs. Guo Li let out a long sigh, "I have no food to satisfy my hunger, and I can't sell it, what else can I do..."

"Eat... eat people?" Ma Min'er turned pale with shock.

Guo Lishi nodded silently.

Ma Min'er felt her scalp and back sweating profusely, so she quickly changed the subject, "I'll be in Fucheng in a few days, what are your plans?"

Hearing this, Guo Li looked at the two sons who were taking a nap back to back, and shook his head in a daze, "I don't know, maybe I will sell myself to a rich family as a slave!"

slave?The exiled Ma family may be worse than slaves!

Evening came again, and people set off on the road again. On the way, human nature was fully revealed in the food and water. In order to survive better, in addition to the Guo family, some other refugees with similar temperaments also joined the road without knowing it. Come in, form a force, and block many dangers.

Through intentional or unintentional inquiries, Ma Min'er finally understood the family situation in this life, no, to be precise, it was the family situation.

Before her grandfather was demoted, she was Shao Fu (cong Yipin, equivalent to the emperor's teacher). His grade sounded high, but he had no real power, but because of his special status, he was also a big man in Beijing, because the drought in Yizhou touched the emperor. The Linjiao was not only demoted, but also beheaded by the emperor, the eldest son Ma Qixiang.

The eldest son is the commander of the deputy capital of Wucheng Bingmasi. From the sixth rank, his rank is not high but he has great power. He heard that before he was beheaded, he was expected to be promoted to the commander of the capital.

"Bingmasi has nothing to do with the drought in Yizhou, right?" Ma Min'er asked Ma Dalang.

"I...I don't understand..." Ma Dalang replied in a low voice.

"Does that father know?"

Ma Dalang shook his head, "I don't know if Dad knows, anyway, I heard people say that we were not beheaded by the emperor like Uncle, and the ancestral graves are already smoking."

Ma Min'er believes that in ancient times, the main adult males of the family would be beheaded, and the exiled underage males and females, and the official prostitutes who acted as official prostitutes, could not be like the grandfather, except the eldest son. Others can be exiled to a certain place together, could it be said that the emperor has given mercy extrajudicially?

What the emperor is thinking, Ma Min'er can't control it, and she can't control it, she is now joining forces with the Guo family to find food and drink together, so that Hu Jiechai will not have the opportunity to blackmail Dad and let him be his little girl.

There is no chance to use Ma Qifeng, let alone other things, Hu Jiecha's staring eyes can kill people.

"Brother Hu, without Ma Lao Liu, there are others..."

"I don't want those vagabonds posting it, I just like a little boy to serve you."

"Brother Hu, there is no Ma Lao Liu, but Ma Lao Wu and Ma Lao Qi!" Zhang Eryi said in a low voice with his yellow teeth grinning.

Hu Bingyong stretched out his hand to touch the thick stubble, and squinted at the Ma family, "Ma Lao Liu is a motherless bastard and a calf protector, he's the only one who can handle it well, if someone else... I'm afraid it's not so easy to handle."

"Brother Hu, we'll be in Yizhou Prefecture in two days, and we're about to hand over the Ma family to the Yamen of Yizhou Prefecture. Don't you want to pay for this fresh meat?"

Hu Bingyong pursed his lips and kept rubbing his stubble, "It's really..."

Zhang Eryi chuckled, "Brother Hu, I've got what I should have, haha..."

"How much food and water have been given, don't let Liu Cha get annoyed."

"That's okay, Brother Hu, just a small sip of water and a small corner of cake."

"It's really cheap for you. If you want to stay in the capital, you have to pay a few cents."

"Haha..." Zhang Eryi smiled smugly, "After a hard job, we must take advantage of it."

"Too!"
