Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 15
"Master Qin, there are green leaves on the tree here!"

Han Jinrong shouted happily.

The green leaves on that tree are very low, it is an elm tree. .

The third son was also very excited, he directly took off the top leaves and chewed them in his mouth.

"Master! Lord! There are green leaves! There are green leaves!"

Qin Shao was also very happy.

"There's no need to pick the leaves anymore. The disaster situation here has eased, so there shouldn't be such a shortage of food. We'll buy some at that time, so we don't have to eat those wild vegetable leaves."

Seeing those two people picking leaves in a hurry, Qin Shao advised
There are also green leaves in the place I passed before, usually at the end of the tall tree tops, and the green leaves below have been picked up and eaten by people.

In severe cases, the bark is ripped off.

There are green leaves in such a low place here.

It shows that the water source here is okay, at least there is no serious drought.

In addition, the hunger of the refugees has been alleviated, at least not as serious as other places along the way.

But then his face darkened.

"Master Qin, what's the matter?"

Han Jinrong was very good at observing words and expressions, and soon noticed Qin Shao's serious face.

"There is no drought and the famine is relieved. There will definitely be a large influx of refugees. I am worried that it will not be so easy for us to enter De'an Mansion!"

What Qin Shao considered was actually reality.

The refugees all went from places with severe famines and wars to places that were less affected or unaffected.

As the disaster situation eases here, there will definitely be a large influx of refugees.

The influx of a large number of refugees has a great impact on the city here.

In particular, good and bad refugees are mixed, and if they are not resettled properly, it is easy to cause a greater disaster.

Therefore, in any era, many places will not directly open the door to the arrival of refugees, which is courting death for themselves.

Even relief is limited to outside the city, and the procedures for entering the city must be very strict.

If they want to enter De'an Mansion in this situation, it will be very difficult.

"We don't need to go into the city."

After hearing Qin Shao's doubts, Han Jinrong said directly.

"My uncle and the others live in Tuqiao Village, Lidian Town, De'an Prefecture. We can just take a detour instead of entering De'an Mansion. I followed my mother to my uncle's house the year before last, and we just detoured from a nearby village. of."

Han Jinrong's uncle was a scholar. Although he later abandoned literature and went into business, he still has a literati sentiment in his bones.

In his spare time, he likes to travel to the countryside and sing poems and eulogy with a group of friends.

Later, he moved from the city to live in a house bought by Tu Liu in the countryside. At the beginning, he occasionally lived in the house in the city, but later he simply rented it out.

"That's great! We don't have to work hard to enter the city. You don't know. I was wandering with a large group of people before, and I wanted to enter some cities. Those guards would fight us when they saw us. They were more vicious than... those rebels!"

The third son said happily.

He has wandered in many places along the way, and he is very familiar with the situation of entering the city in some places.

In his concept, city people are condescending and look down on him, a country bumpkin.

"How to go?"

Qin Shao didn't expect such a surprise, so he hurriedly asked.

"I... I don't know the way. At that time, I was just riding in the car. The housekeeper was driving the car. I... didn't know how to get there!"

Han Jinrong replied dully.

After all, she was just a little girl. She used to follow her parents and family, and was guided by servants, so she didn't care about the way to go.

Qin Shao shook his head with a wry smile, really pleasantly surprised.

However, it is also good news to know that he does not live in the city, just ask passers-by.

I could only take them on the road, and when I met passers-by, I went up to ask them, and finally found out the road conditions.

"We can go around Cuigou and go a short distance to Tuqiao."

……

After walking for about half a day, I finally arrived at the village called Cuigou that passers-by said.

The so-called Cuigou is indeed worthy of its name. The village is located in a low-lying ditch. The village has a large lake surrounded by high mountains, and there is only one intersection that leads into the village.

In this troubled world, it is indeed a rare fairyland on earth.

But at this time, a high wall has been built at this fairyland intersection, and there are a group of strong young men with big knives, long halberds and chopping axes standing at the door.

What was even more frightening was that there were several dried human heads hanging on the fence, apparently for the deterrent effect.

Qin Shao has already learned from the passers-by that the villages are now strictly guarded to prevent refugees from entering.

I just didn't expect it to be this serious.

"They... how could they do this?"

Han Jinrong flinched in fright, a little puzzled. In the past, she followed her parents through these villages, and the villagers were simple and enthusiastic, but now...

"Their village has water and food. There must have been refugees who broke into the village and attacked them. They fought with each other. This is also to deter refugees from entering by force."

Qin Shao observed for a moment and said.

Those people were also very vigilant when they saw them.

One by one, the guys who clenched their hands tightly, whenever they have the movement to enter the village, they will immediately go forward to "greeting".

But there were only three of them, and the three of them had thrown away their thick, tattered clothes and put on thin, clean clothes.

They don't look very similar to ordinary refugees, and they won't take the initiative to do anything.

"Master! Are we going to this village?"

The third son asked.

"No! We are going to the village not far ahead, this is Cuigou Village, and we are going to Tuqiao."

They walked to one side of the mountain road, which was the road from Cuitong to Tuliu.

They have just stepped up the steps and are about to go ahead.

On the other side of the road, a group of people, about a hundred or so, rushed over.

There were men, women, old people, and children, all of them carrying burdens, and some carrying bags, as if they were fleeing.

"hurry up!"

The young man in front shouted, the people behind followed in a panic, and there were occasional cries of children and women.

Although the clothes of those villagers are simple, they are still clean and tidy. Judging by their looks and clothes, they are different from the refugees they saw along the way.

Qin Shao saw that there were too many of them, so he quickly pulled Han Jinrong and Xiao Sanzi aside to make way for them.

"Liu Kui? What's wrong with you?"

The burly young man guarding Cuigou saw someone coming from this side, looked sideways, and someone shouted.

It seems they all know each other.

"Cui Wu! It's not good! Come and help us. Our Tuqiao was invaded by refugees. They seized the village and killed people everywhere. Only we escaped! Tell your patriarch Cui to come out and help us. We must Join hands, or we won't be able to fight those refugees at all!"

The villager named Liu Kui shouted.

Earth Bridge captured by refugees?
When Qin Shao heard this, his face was a little dignified.

Han Jinrong was immediately dumbfounded.

After waking up, she staggered and rushed to the villager named Liu Kui.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, Tuqiao was really captured by refugees? What happened to Liu Shizhong and Liu Xiucai's family in Tuqiao Village? Did they escape? Why didn't you see their family?"

"you are?"

The young man named Liu Kui looked at Han Jinrong in surprise.

"I'm Liu Xiucai's niece. My hometown was hit by a disaster, so I came here to join my uncle. I don't know what happened to my uncle's family?"
