After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1118: Drag him out, he's ruined. [3]

This matter should be announced by the government office outside the mountains, in Taifeng Town. If there is no plague in the future, the Wei people will blame all the supplies spent on epidemic prevention on the Qin family of Taifeng Town.

The Qin family has already done enough; they shouldn't bear any more burdens.

The villagers were stunned when they heard this, and the surroundings were as quiet as the dead of night.

After a long while, Village Chief Cao finally said, "This, this is fake, isn't it?"

As if they had found their pillar of support, the villagers chimed in, "Yes, yes, Young Master Wen, you must be joking, hahaha, alright, alright, we laughed, so stop talking nonsense with us."

With tears streaming down his face, Wen Yang picked up the leather bag and said to the villagers, "The ruthlessness of the enemy is unprecedented in history, and what I am carrying is evidence of their evil deeds... Fellow villagers from outside the mountains, if you can bear it, you are welcome to come up and take a look."

This?
Uncle Qin was shocked. He grabbed the clerk and whispered, "Weren't we here to beat up Liu Ge'er and vent our anger? Why are we putting on such a big show? This is too much! Won't the villagers go crazy?"

The clerk, Guan, had a somber expression. He took Qiong Lao to tell County Commandant Zhong about Qin Ershu's concerns.

The county magistrate replied, "The bloodiest thing the villagers have ever seen is the slaughter of the New Year's pig. They have no idea how cruel war is. Let's take this opportunity to let them see some blood and toughen them up so that they won't be scared to death if war breaks out suddenly."

In the northwest, some people died of fright from the Western Rong army before the war even began.

He added, "Only let the brave people see it; don't show it to all the villagers in public. Don't worry."

But the clerk was still worried: "Wait half an hour."

Soon, the clerk Guan immediately went to inform the Qin family and Madam Guan, telling them: "Take the women and children away. What is about to happen is too big to be seen by women and children."

Qin Xiaomi said, "Looking at military rations? I can, I don't need to avoid it."

Not only did she not avoid it, she also had her servants bring over a row of chairs, and she sat down first.

"Grandma, Second Aunt, Xiao Gu, Xiao Mai, Xiao Zhu, Er Lang, you can avoid this place. The military rations are really scary."

"You go home too, and don't look!" Grandma Qin tried to pull her away, but she couldn't budge her.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The soldiers banged gongs and shouted, "The soldiers are to be used as provisions by the mountain people. Those who are timid should leave immediately. Those who are brave can go to Young Master Wenyang's place and witness the evil of the enemy!"

"This...this is really red meat military rations!"

"No way! I don't believe it!"

"Since the sir has said so, would he be making up lies and boasting like we are? It must be true!"

"Then what should we do? Shall we watch?"

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go home. This isn't a show to watch!"

In the blink of an eye, half of the villagers had left, mostly women, children, and the elderly.

Those who remained were all adult men from their respective families.

But Qin Xiaomi didn't leave. She sat in the chair, her eyes bathed in the morning light, her expression calm, staring directly in the direction of Wen Yang.

The students, including Shi Songxin, Zheng Qianjia, Lu Qian, Si Feng, and Si Pei, looked at her... beautiful, not the kind of beauty that belonged to a country girl, but they dared not let their hearts flutter in the slightest.

Because the Qin family woman wasn't like a person, but like a weapon stuck there, dazzling and sharp, her eyes seemed to flash with a sharp edge, capable of killing them with a single blow.

So they only glanced at it before lowering their heads in unison, not daring to look again.

"I, the third son of the Lü clan chief, am willing to step forward and witness the enemy's atrocities, to serve as a witness for my fellow villagers!" The third son of the Lü clan stepped forward and became the first person to inspect the military rations.

"I, Kong Lizhang, am willing to witness the enemy's atrocities!" Kong Lizhang was going all out, just to show his bravery and elevate his already lowly status.

You bastard, what are you trying to prove?!
The village chief cursed him in his heart, but since both the Lü and Miao families had sent people to investigate, the Miao family couldn't back down. They immediately shouted, "Our Miao family will also send people to observe the enemy's atrocities!" As for who to send?

Miao, the village chief, secretly slipped a tael of silver to his nephew: "Fenggui, you represent our Miao family and go up and take a look... If you don't dare, I can only let Miao Jinke earn this tael of silver."

Miao Fenggui was afraid, but he couldn't bear to part with that one or two taels of silver, and he didn't want Miao Jinke to make money from it. In the end, he gritted his teeth, took the one or two taels of silver, and stepped forward: "I, Miao Fenggui, represent the Miao family village head and his branch to witness the enemy's atrocities! Hmph, I don't believe that this military ration can be that scary?"

Ha, ignorance is bliss.

Soon, the personnel who dared to inspect the military rations had all assembled.

In order to claim credit, Miao Fenggui wanted to cut in line and be the first to see.

Master Lü gave it to him: "Alright, you go."

Miao Fenggui was very brave. He rushed forward, grabbed the leather bag, opened the mouth of the bag, and stretched his head to look inside.

With a cry, Miao Fenggui's vision went black, and he fell straight backward.

Master Lü reacted quickly and caught him before he fell to the ground. He hurriedly shouted, "Doctor! Is there a doctor? Come quickly and save him!"

Old Xun went over, pinched Miao Fenggui's philtrum, and pressed an acupoint on the back of his neck. Miao Fenggui took a deep breath and woke up.

Upon waking, he kept backing away, crying out, "Small little legs... spies aren't human... the military rations they eat are truly human!"

"Father, Mother, waah, take me home, take me home quickly!" Miao Fenggui practically crawled toward his parents, terrified.

His parents were also afraid, so they didn't dare to go to pick him up. They just waved to him and said, "Son, don't be afraid. Your parents are here waiting for you. Just crawl over here."

Miao Fenggui cried and crawled toward his parents.

Miao Jinke couldn't bear to watch, so he and his younger brother helped him up, supported him, and brought him back to the Miao village team.

"Waaah, go home, go home, don't stay here anymore, it's really human legs, it has toes!" Miao Fenggui urged.

"Remember to get him some calming and sedative medicine, otherwise he'll definitely get sick from fright." Old Man Xun instructed the Miao family, and then said to the other villagers, "Miao Fenggui has already shown you what military rations are. If you can't handle it, you don't have to look."

Upon hearing this, nine out of ten villagers backed down.

But Master Lü, Village Chief Kong, Master Zhou, and some of the martial arts school students insisted on watching.

Their reasoning was: "The enemy's intention to destroy us is clear. We must see through them. If we do not know the enemy's evil, how can we resist them?"

“Well said! I will give each of those who witnessed the enemy’s evil deeds five taels of silver to commend the courage of our Wei people!” said the old man Qiong.

These words inspired many hesitant villagers to muster their courage and sign up to watch.

Students such as Zheng Qianjia, Shi Songxin, Lu Qian, and Jia Xiang also signed up: "Teacher, we students are also signing up to witness the enemy's evil deeds, to demonstrate the courage of the Wei people, and to strengthen our resolve to resist the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qiong looked at them and said, "Well done, worthy of being the sons of our Great Wei!"

but……

"Don't force yourself. Do what you can. Otherwise, this visit may become a mental block for you and hinder your future scientific expeditions."

"There's no need to feel ashamed. You are scholars, and you will become civil officials in the future. The matter of fighting the enemy will be handled by the military generals. You just need to stabilize the rear and send a steady stream of supplies to the front."

"The whole nation is fighting the enemy, but there is a division of labor in the fight against the enemy. There is no need to force yourself to do the work of a military general."

Mr. Qiong's words were full of care for the younger generation. He was afraid that these students would force themselves to do things they couldn't bear for the sake of their reputation, thus ruining their lives.

Zheng Qianjia and Lu Qian were indeed putting on an act, but since Master Qiong had put it this way, they were even less likely to back down: "Teacher, you need not worry about your students. Your minds are made up."
