After transmigrating into a book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 103 Meeting fellow villagers

There were only two of them, and they were still driving the ox cart. The speed was much faster, and it didn't take long for them to arrive outside Qingtian County.

Now the imperial court is resettling refugees, and no refugees are blocked outside the city gate, so the two paid a few pennies and entered the city smoothly.

When he came to the city, Mei's second child was at a loss, "Meimei, where can we find someone?"

These refugees were either resettled or persuaded to return to their places of origin. Regardless of other places, it is very difficult to see the victims of the disaster in this entire closed city.

Seeing this, Melomei also ran into difficulties for a while, and suddenly ran to find someone. It was really hard to find, so she thought about it and said, "Why don't we go find some poor people to help?"

This ancient times is the same as modern times, there are poor and rich people everywhere, even at the feet of the emperor, there are many people who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes.

Mei's second child had no choice but to say, "That's the only way."

The two left the ox cart next to a tavern, and asked the tavern clerk for directions, before going to find someone.

When he came to a place, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beggar in the corner out of the corner of his eye. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but he always felt that the figure looked familiar.

Melome stopped, and couldn't help turning her head to look carefully.

Seeing someone coming, the beggar immediately stepped forward with a broken bowl, "I beg Miss, give me something to eat..."

The beggar wanted to beg for something to eat, but when he suddenly looked up, he found two acquaintances. He was very surprised and said, "It's you?"

Then he laughed happily, "I finally met my fellow countrymen."

Melomei didn't expect to meet acquaintances in a city, so she couldn't help but said, "Brother Shitou, why are you here?"

This beggar was Yang Shitou, who helped collect mushrooms in Shanghe Village. After the mushrooms were harvested, he didn't contact him again.

"It's a long story."

Yang Shitou sighed, with endless vicissitudes in his eyes, and asked Melomei, "What about you? Why are you here?"

"It's a long story for us." Melome sighed and said, "How about we go eat something first and talk together?"

"it is good."

The three of them walked to the chaotic stall on the side and ordered three bowls of wontons. While waiting, Mei Lao Er asked, "Why are you alone, where are the villagers in your village?"

Yang Shitou's eyes were red, and his voice was choked up, "Dead, all dead, our whole village was killed by the Turks."

He burst into tears: "I escaped the catastrophe because I lived far away and lived in a crappy shack."

I have been squeezed out by the villagers all the time, but now I escaped a catastrophe because of this crowding out, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Although Yang Shitou is young and mature, he is only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Now when he meets a fellow countryman in a foreign country, he can't help crying.

They lived in Shanghe Village, so after the river stopped in Shuanghe Village, there was still a little water in their river, so everyone was not in a hurry to move, but wanted to wait and see if it would rain in a few days.

As a result, this wait did not wait for the rain, but waited until the Turkic soldiers broke through Yinzhou.

After the soldiers entered the city, they began to burn, kill and loot on a large scale, and people were panicked for a while.

On the night before Shanghe Village was about to leave, a group of Turkic soldiers entered the village, killed the village chief, robbed the remaining food, destroyed a village of yellow flowers and women, and finally burned the entire Shanghe Village.

When Yang Shitou saw the flames and rushed over, he only saw the backs of the Turkic soldiers walking away.

He searched the whole village, and finally found that there was no one alive but him.

He panicked all of a sudden, ran back to his hut to pack his things, and took a shortcut all the way to Shuanghe Village over the mountains.

I wanted to run to the head of Shuanghe Village for help, but when I arrived, I found that Shuanghe Village had long since been deserted, and every house was closed and locked, and they must have left for a long time.

He had no choice but to resist the salute and go on the road alone. Fortunately, he grew up in the mountains and was cautious, so he avoided countless dangers along the way, and finally mixed with some refugees and followed him to the capital.

The group of them came to the capital and were not resettled. Instead, they were repatriated. He sneaked away from the team again, found a hidden place, and dug a hole to hide in it.

It was also fortunate that he had collected mushrooms with Melomei and the others and made some money. At that time, he was afraid of hunger, so he bought a lot of food for storage, and it was good to have these food, so he survived until now.

Later, the government began to resettle refugees, and he saw the right time to sneak into the city and start his life as a beggar.

Yang Shitou was crying while telling what happened in the past three years. After he finished speaking, he couldn't make a sound.

Mei's second son kept sighing, comforting him, and also told him some things they encountered.

Melomei felt sad, and in the end she could only sigh twice, because the world will not change when it will change.

"Three guest officers, the wontons are here, please use them slowly."

The owner of the wonton stall cooked the wontons, brought them over and put them on the table.

"Eat quickly, we can find someone after eating."

Mei Laoer pushed two bowls of wontons in front of the two of them respectively, and handed them to Mei Luomei with chopsticks.

Melomei took the chopsticks and said, "Brother Shitou, do you have a place to live now?"

Yang Shitou poked two chopsticks on the table and said, "Now I live with a group of beggars in a ruined temple outside the city."

In order to grab the territory, there were many fights among the beggars back then. Fortunately, he was physically strong, so he took up a small den.

Melome took a wonton and blew it, put it in her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then said: "Do you want to continue to help me? I am currently in need of people."

Yang Shitou had finished eating two wontons quickly, and raised his head when he heard the words: "Of course, I have nothing to do. I can't get a full meal by begging every day. It's good to have work."

Although this girl is a few years younger than him, he never dared to underestimate her.

Melomei smiled and said, "Okay, brother Shitou will help my house with work, and I will take care of the meals."

Yang Shitou: "It's pretty good to be able to take care of the food. Now people are full of people who can't eat enough. If there is an order, everyone may rush to help you do the work."

This is true, many people now have problems even drinking water, and it is even more difficult to eat. If there is a place where food and housing are managed, everyone may squeeze their heads to drill in.

"Brother Shitou was joking, but you came early, do you know anyone else? I want to find more people now." After a pause, he added: "The character is good, but don't abuse good people."

Yang Shitou finished a bowl of wontons in a few strokes, and said, "I know some people, but I don't know if you'll like them. Do you want me to take you to see them first, and then we'll talk about it?"

Melomei thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Those who work for their own family really have to be seen by themselves.

After eating the wontons, Yang Shitou picked up the bowl and drank the soup, licked the bowl again, and then put it down reluctantly.

Melomei paid the money, and the three of them left the wonton stand and headed all the way to the place Yang Shitou said.

"Sister Luo, let me take you to see if the beggars who live with me are okay, if not, I will take you to the west city to see, where there are all poor people."

Since Yang Shitou said so, Melomei would not disagree, so she went with him.

Came to the outskirts of Qingtian County, walked for a while, and finally came to the ruined temple Yang Shitou mentioned.

"That's right there." Yang Shitou pointed to a dilapidated temple in front of him.

Melomei looked up, and saw that the plaque in front of the temple was gone, and there was only half of the door in the ruined temple. Push it open and enter, and there were only a few piles of dry straw inside.

The walls of the temple are dilapidated, with air leaks everywhere, the beams and pillars have been gnawed by mice, and the roof is full of fist-sized holes, which is very dangerous to look at.

"I found this place after searching for a long time. I even fought with the boss several times before I got a piece of land."

Yang Shitou rubbed his head, feeling very embarrassed.

Mei Lao Er followed up, looked at it for a while and said: "This place is so dilapidated, I'm afraid it will collapse when it rains."

"Yes, but apart from this place, there is no suitable place to live. Other houses, no matter how bad they are, cost hundreds of dollars."

How could they be a group of beggars afford to rent a house!
If it weren't for the fact that sleeping indiscriminately is not allowed in the city, he would want to sleep in the corner of someone else's house with a straw in his arms.

"Brother Shitou, didn't I hear that someone is recruiting soldiers? Why don't you join the army?"

That's at least better than being a beggar!

"Oh, I've heard that too. I wanted to go, but when I first encountered recruitment, I was only 12 years old. They didn't want me anyway. They said that I was too young, and I had to be at least 14 years old."

When Yang Shitou thought of this, he became angry, thinking why he couldn't be a few years older, and when he finally grew up to 14 years old, he ended up not being recruited again.

Melome: "Everything is about fate, maybe you shouldn't join the army, you should make a lot of money."

Yang Shitou said: "If someone else said that, I would definitely not listen to it, but if you say that, I definitely believe it."

In three years, everyone has changed a lot.

The two chatted for a while before Melome remembered the business, "Didn't you say that a group of you live here, where are you?"

They came for a while, but didn't see half a person.

Yang Shitou went out to look at the sky and said, "It's almost time for them to come back."

Beggars usually go out in the morning, come back for a rest at noon, and go again in the afternoon.

"Then I'll wait a little longer."

There was no place to sit in the ruined temple, so Mei Luomei and Mei's second child also went out, and the three found a big tree that had just sprouted a few leaves.

Yang Shitou moved three big stones in front of the temple and put them under the tree as stools.

A few people sat under the tree, and Mei Laoer and Yang Shitou started chatting again. While chatting, they suddenly talked about the fight for water in the third village. you?"

Yang Shitou, "Oh, I usually don't interact with people in the village, so I won't be notified whether they fight or not. I only heard about it later."

Mei Laoer nodded, and commented: "You guys in Shanghe Village are really outrageous for doing that."

Thinking that the whole village has been killed now, he sighed again: "It's really unpredictable. I didn't expect that fight would be the last time."

Yang Shitou clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Those Turkic dogs will always have bad luck."
