Chapter 33

She began to fight with Jing Laowen. Years of working in the fields had given this beautiful woman strength, but Jing Laowen could not beat her.

Whenever her parents-in-law caused trouble, she would hit Jing Laowei. If her uncle and eldest brother followed her and hit her, she would suffer a loss. Then she would wait until Jing Laowei fell asleep, tie him up, gag him, close the door and beat him.

After a few times, Jing Laowang didn't dare to provoke her, and her parents-in-law didn't dare to provoke her anymore. If her uncles and brothers dared to take action, she would rush to the other person's house and scold them in front of their mother-in-law until they couldn't hold their heads up.

Over time, everyone in Jingjia Village knew that no one should offend Mrs. Ge, who was as evil as the King of Hell.

Jing Zhenghai hurriedly asked Mrs. Ge's son to hold her back: "Don't let your mother be beaten to death. You still need to be questioned!"

Jing Li then asked, "What was it like when you passed Jingjia Village when you came out?"

The man cried and said: "We passed by Jingjia Village in the middle of the night. We originally planned to touch something during the night. Who knows?"

"You should fucking tell me quickly!" Someone kicked him anxiously.

The people in Jingjia Village were anxious. Although they had escaped, there were still some relatives in the village who were still close to their neighbors, and they still cared about them.

The man shrank and said in horror: "We just entered Jingjia Village, and before we could do anything, we heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, so we hid in the sorghum field at the entrance of the village and did not dare to go in."

"Those officers and soldiers rushed into the village and killed them one after another. Not only the men were taken away, but also the women and children. After that, the whole village was burned down."

"We didn't dare to go out anymore because we looked so scared. After the officers and soldiers left, we hurriedly started to escape."

"I ran away all night last night and will be repairing here tonight. My eldest brother said I would go out and see if I could find some food, and then..."

The man looked at Mrs. Ge's increasingly ugly face and did not dare to speak any more.

The fire at the foot of the mountain was crackling, the porridge in the pot was boiling and bubbling, and the ignorant little baby was babbling.

The adults were all silent. Although they all escaped, they still couldn't believe in their hearts that they were really going to the Northland thousands of miles away.

Wait a little longer, maybe someone will come and tell them that there is no need to run away anymore, the White Lotus Army was beaten back by King Xiaoyao, the bandits were also destroyed, King Hejian also got along well with his eldest brother, and he won’t fight anymore, you guys. Go back quickly.

But now I really met the visitor, and what he brought was not the news that he could go back, but the bad news that his home had been burned to the ground.

Those who were neighbors, those who had quarreled and quarreled, those who fought over fields and corners are gone. The house and fields that I once had are gone. There is nothing but a bleak future.

Sobbing slowly came from the crowd, and then a woman burst into tears, and the men also hugged each other and cried.

Both Mrs. Su and Fat Aunt had tears in their eyes, they had eccentric and mean parents-in-law, and they had cold-blooded uncles. But now that everything had been reduced to ashes, they were not happy, but instead felt unspeakably sad.

When the little kids saw the adults crying, they started to cry too, and the whole foot of the mountain was filled with weeping and wailing.

Jing Zhenghai's back instantly became a little rickety. This highly respected patriarch was once the patriarch of hundreds of people, but now only a hundred or so families around him are left.

Jing Li broke through her sadness: "Grandpa Patriarch, now is not the time for us to cry in sadness. These people might bring others to fight back, and we may not be able to fight by then."

When Jing Zhenghai heard the words "Grandpa Patriarch", he realized that he was still the patriarch of the Jing family. Now everyone was pointing at him to make decisions, but he only wiped away his tears. The old man's eyes suddenly became determined. "Nizi is right, we can't cry anymore. There's no point in crying. Fix it quickly and let's continue on our way!"

The women feed their children in silence, the men serve the animals in silence, and the old people sit silently and look at the sky.

Lao Wangtou limped over with a cane: "Brother Hai, I have the legs and feet of those two people tied up. It's up to them whether they live or die!"

Jing Zhenghai's throat was a little dry: "You did the right thing, let their life and death be left to fate!"

They are honest farmers who have been serving crops all their lives with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky. When they suddenly encounter something like a life-threatening incident, they still feel a little bit unbearable.

Lao Wangtou continued: "I'm afraid our road ahead will become increasingly difficult, so we have to pick some young men to come out to protect our safety."

Jing Zhenghai looked at the dark night: "You can arrange this matter. We don't understand this. You are the only one who has experience."

After the rest, the crowd continued on the road. The women carried their children who could not walk on their backs, and the men put the slightly smaller children on the carts.

The daughter-in-law of Jing Zhenghai's second brother's family scolded her 13-year-old daughter Xiaocui: "Damn girl, you can't walk well, what else can you do? You know how to eat every day, why don't you eat me to death?"

Her daughter Xiaocui wiped her tears quietly, then gritted her teeth and carried her younger brother on her back. Her father had to push the grain, and her mother had to carry the dry food. She had to carry the four-year-old brother, but the road was not easy to walk, and one foot was deep and the other was shallow. , she accidentally fell.

Jingli didn't say anything. She knew that Xiao Cuiniang was scolding her. Xiao Cuiniang felt sorry for her son and wanted to put him in her car, but there was no room in her car. In order to find a place for the things in the space, She had to fill the entire carriage.

The mule was exhausted after walking for a day and had already begun to lose her temper. Now she had to take good care of her, for fear that her ancestor would suddenly go on strike and refuse to leave.

Jing Zhenghai turned around and scolded: "What are you yelling about? You're not tired, are you? It's not good to walk a few more steps if you don't have the energy!"

Little Cuiniang didn't dare to say anything anymore and glared in Jingli's direction for a few times. Damn girl, she didn't let anyone sit in the mule carriage even though there was a mule carriage. No wonder her grandparents didn't like her.

Lan'er came over with a basket on her back, quietly stuffed a bun for Jing Li, and then quickened her pace to keep up with her family.

Jingli laughed a little while holding the steamed buns. This Mrs. Ge was really...
At first, there were still people on the road talking about Jingjia Village, but gradually no one said anything anymore, only the sound of animals breathing and the wheels of vehicles squeaking.

The sky slowly turned pale. Jing Zhenghai turned sideways and asked Lao Wangtou: "How far have we gone? They can't catch up, right?"

Lao Wangtou nodded: "I have traveled almost fifty miles, and I probably won't be able to catch up."

Jing Zhenghai breathed a sigh of relief. The animals couldn't bear it anymore, let alone humans.

"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you?" Widow Qin's eldest son exclaimed from the crowd.

Widow Qin fell to the ground with an earthy face, her eyes closed tightly, and her breath was weak. Her two sons knelt aside and kept shouting.

Lao Wang stepped forward to check: "He's tired. Give him some water quickly."
