Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 373 Xianbei Strikes the Autumn Wind

Wang Pingping nodded to Xu Yue who was in the car. Xu Yue took out a water bag and a bag of dry food from the storage box in the car and got off the car, and gave the food and water to the 13 people in front of her.

The 13 people were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out the containers they were carrying to fetch water, wept with gratitude, and wiped their tears while thanking.

This world is too difficult. Everyone has exhausted all their energy just to take care of themselves and their families. Even a kind person has no spare energy to help others.

The seemingly small leather water bag in Xu Yue's hand had a surprisingly large capacity, and each of the 13 people filled a bamboo tube.

The dry food in the bag is a cake baked with fine flour mixed with coarse grains, with salt and chives added. If it is inconvenient to light a fire for cooking on the road, it can be baked or eaten directly.

The victims looked at the pancakes in their hands and couldn't resist putting them down before eating them. They stuffed them into their mouths hastily, choked on them accidentally, and couldn't bear to spit them out. swallow.

Xu Yue's family leaned on the side of the carriage and watched them sitting on the side of the road chewing and looking at each other, thinking of the scene when their family fled.

Compared with them in the past, the victims were considered lucky. With this bucket of water and two big pancakes, they could survive another two or three days and walk to Yuyang to find a way to survive.

The 13 people are all men in their twenties and thirties. If they are in good health, they will have plenty of strength to work.

In Yuyang, if you can work, you will not starve to death

Wang Pingping looked at them, "Your accent doesn't sound like a local, where did you come from?"

Hearing the benefactor's wife's question, the few people who had recovered some strength hurriedly replied:
"We all escaped from Jusu County in Shanggu County."

Xu Yue asked suspiciously: "Isn't the drought in Shanggu not serious? Why did you come to Guangyang County, where the drought is severe?"

In this drought in Youzhou, Zhuo County and Guangyang County in the central part suffered the most severe drought, and Shanggu in the far north was not bad, at least not to the extent that the whole family had to move.

Hearing Xu Yue's question, one of the young men couldn't help crying,

"The Wuhuan people and Xianbei people came to fight the autumn wind again. They robbed us of our cattle, sheep and food, killed my father and mother, and slaughtered the whole village. My sister and I managed to escape, but my sister wanted Save me, I was taken away by the Xianbei people."

They are all from the same place. Hearing this, the few people who had just smiled because they had food and water were all silent.

Wang Pingping asked: "What about the frontier army? Just let the Wuhuan and Xianbei people go south to invade the village?"

The young man who just cried miserably twitched the corners of his mouth, "The Wuhuan people ran away after they robbed and slaughtered the village. By the time the frontier army came after them, the Wuhuan people would have already run away."

"Xianbei people are not afraid of the frontier army. Master Zhou has friendship with King Xianbei. As long as they don't kill people, the frontier army will turn a blind eye."

"Besides, the harvest is not good this year. Everyone is afraid of starving to death. Many frontier soldiers have fled. The world is in chaos. Who cares about us ordinary people."

Wang Pingping's eyes turned cold, "According to what you say, our army is just a display now?"

The 13 people did not speak, saying that the imperial army was making a display and they dared not, but they felt that it was similar to the display in their hearts.

Especially after the White Horse General Gongsun Zan left Youzhou, without the general's intimidation, there was only one state shepherd, Zhao Yu, and the alien races on the border became more and more rampant.

Seeing the reactions of the 13 people, Wang Pingping knew without their talking that the frontier army adopted a more moderate policy in looting.

In fact, Wang Pingping and Gongsun Zan had the same idea. To deal with these aliens, he had to be subdued and disabled to make them calm down.

Like Zhao Yu's Huairou policy, although it can be exchanged for a stable border temporarily, it cannot last long.

Because of the agreement, the Xianbei army will not enter Daqing territory for the time being.

But small fights from time to time are not small, especially for the local people, who have worked so hard all year round to reap the rewards, but they are immediately robbed by the Xianbei people, which means that they have been busy all year round.

This also has a lot to do with the geographical factors of the two parties. Speaking of it, it is a matter of survival. Xianbei and Wuhuan lived in the desert grassland, so they were destined to live nomadicly.

And the desert has only a little land suitable for farming, how can it support so many people?
The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources, and is naturally suitable for the development of farming civilization, so it will naturally attract people's envy.

If the Xianbei and Wuhuan people did not go south to plunder the supplies of the Central Plains people, their clansmen would not be able to survive.

From the perspective of survival, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people seem to be right.

It's a pity that she is from the Central Plains now, so how can she watch her compatriots being frequently harassed by these alien races?
"Don't stop here in Guangyang, go directly to Shanggu County." Wang Pingping whispered to her family.

Several people nodded, no objection.

Xu Yue reminded these victims, "Two days to the south, you can reach Yuyang County, and there is still a way to survive if you join the Xu family army."

"Will Xu Jiajun really take in refugees?" They asked cautiously.

Xu Yue nodded, "Yes."

The 13 people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was great to have a place to go.

The 13 people insisted on kneeling to express their thanks, and then rested for a while, waiting for the sun to go down at noon, before continuing to rush south.

Before leaving, the young man turned around and asked, "What do you call your benefactors?"

The family looked at Xu Yue tacitly, and Xu Yue smiled lightly and said, "My name is Xu Yue. When you arrive in Yuyang, if the city guards ask, you will say that Xu Yue let you go there, and they will arrange for you. "

"Xu?" Several people looked at each other, thinking that this surname was a bit too coincidental.

But when they turned around and wanted to ask again, the carriage had already driven away.

The 13 people could only temporarily let go of their doubts and continue walking south with hope.

Xu Yue and the others didn't stop, they went all the way north until it was dark, and then they found a slope with a thin mountain spring and stopped to rest.

There was a leather water bag, and there was plenty of water. Xu Erniang asked Xu Yue to take out the pots and pans in the small kitchen of the research room, light a fire, set up a pot, and cook a hot meal.

In the wilderness and ridge, the surroundings were pitch black, and from time to time, there were a few low roars of unknown beasts coming from the mountains.

Xu Dalang got up and suddenly roared towards the mountain, startling the other four people in the camp.

But don't tell me, after this roar, those unknown beast calls disappeared.

Xu Da took out the portable tent, and was directed by Wang Pingping. It took half an hour to finally set up the tent where the family will live tonight.

The dark green tent is big, square, with padlocked windows, some hay is found to spread on the ground, and then moisture-proof mats are put on, and sleeping bags are put on. There will be a place for the family of five to sleep tonight.

Recalling the past and looking at the present, the living conditions are simply very different.

Xu Yue looked at the gnocchi in the pot and was annoyed. Why didn't she think of using energy fruit to change a tent?

　Ask for a monthly ticket!
