The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 39

When Mrs. Jing saw the raging fire in the village, she hurried back, but Jing Song covered her mouth and pinned her down in the tall weeds.

Mrs. Sun was also worried about her family's little grandson, and was stopped by Uncle Jing.

The whole family heard all kinds of cries in the village, as well as the shouts of the gangsters, and they were so frightened that they lay in the grass and trembled in their calves.

I don't know how long it took before Jing Song helped Mrs. Jing and the family staggered home.

The village was in a mess. The few old people who had not fled with them fell in the middle of the road covered in blood, with their fingers clenched on the soil in front of them. The boss stared straight ahead, which was the direction where the women and children were taken away.

Old Mrs. Jing did not dare to cry, her tears were streaming down her face. When she arrived at the gate of her courtyard, the old man was half-body outside the door, looking ahead with wide eyes. The half of his body at the back had been burnt.

Mrs. Sun and her eldest daughter-in-law were crying and looking for the child. Uncle Jing cursed in a low voice: "Okay, stop crying. What if we turn around and call someone in again?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not dare to cry anymore. The eldest son punched the courtyard wall with red eyes, and his fist was bloody.

Uncle Jing whispered: "Mom, now our family is gone and our food is gone, what will we do in the future?"

The third aunt, Mrs. He, was secretly resentful. Jingli had already told her that people in the city were fleeing, but her mother-in-law didn't believe it. She wanted to listen to Jingsong, believing that no matter which prince was in charge, he would treat scholars favorably.

This is great, a group of unreasonable bandits came, not only robbed people and food, but also burned down the house. What should we do in the future?
Jing Song looked at the ruins in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the fiefdom of King Nanyang. That is the emperor's old uncle. I believe that no matter how many princes fight, they will not beat their elders!"

Uncle Jing rubbed his sore eyes: "A Song is right. If these princes beat you to death, they will definitely have to give you some face in the old life. Just like no matter how powerful we are, if we meet an old man like the patriarch, we will not You have to be respectful!"

The family found the wheelbarrow in the backyard, chopped up the cabbage in the field, and began to flee to Jingzhou.

Jing Li didn't know what this family was thinking. If she knew, she would just sneer and return the favor to the old uncle. If the fight really gets serious, even the emperor, his own father, would dare to kill him. Who cares about the old man in the next room? Uncle Emperor!

It can only be said that Brother Jing San, who only focused on reading on the desk, was a little too naive. He used the same treatment on the royal family as ordinary people did to their elders, without even thinking about it. Is that the same thing?From time to time, a rebellious and unfilial son would appear in ordinary people's families, let alone the ruthless emperor's family!

Jingli's group finally saw a river in early May. The water level of the river was rising rapidly. It had just rained here?
With this question in mind, Jingli looked around and promptly stopped a few men who were about to fetch water: "This water is not edible!"

Several men turned back to look at Jingli: "Captain, why can't we eat this good river water?"

Jing Li pointed to the river embankment in front of her: "Look, are there any dead bodies lying there?"

The two men covered their mouths and noses and went over to take a look. Sure enough, they were two dead bodies. They had been soaked for an unknown number of days. Their whole bodies were white and swollen, and their original appearance could not be seen clearly.

Mr. Jing and Mr. Wang also hurried forward: "Ah Li, why did you suddenly stop and stop walking, and won't let you get water?"

Jing Li looked solemn: "I'm afraid this place is not very good, so hurry up and boil water in a pot. Ask my mother to get a jar of vinegar and pour it in. Everyone's masks must be scalded to cover their mouths before they can leave."

The men immediately found firewood, and the women began to boil water. Jingli quietly poured in some antibacterial disinfectant, which was not even smelly when mixed with vinegar.Little Cuiniang said in a low voice: "Young prodigal girl, you are so jealous that you are soaking the mask. I don't know how the Su family taught her to raise such a prodigal thing."

When she turned around, she saw her man staring at her with an evil look. She shivered in fright and almost dropped the child on the ground.

Her man looked at her fiercely, then turned around and went back to work. Xiao Cui Niang breathed a sigh of relief and slapped Xiao Cui: "Damn girl, you don't know how to do anything to help me. I almost missed your brother if I didn't see him." Did you fall? I don’t know how to help!”

Xiao Cui rubbed her face, then took over her brother, but couldn't help but look at Jing Li, wondering how she could be as powerful as Sister Ah Li, and never have to live in such a miserable state again.

Jingli solemnly called over the two old men and several captains: "We have been in dry land all the way here, but the vegetation here is growing very well. It is obvious that there is no drought."

Mr. Jing was a little puzzled: "Since there is no drought in this place, it must be rich in water. Why are you still worried, Ali?"

"Here's the problem. There is no drought in this place. But looking at the location of the river bed, it is clear that the water level has risen and has only receded in the past two days. Look, grandpa, there is still fine sand from the river on the grass."

Everyone took a look and found that the grass was indeed filled with fine sand, but it was still very high away from the river bed. How much water would it take to reach the grass?

If this had come a few days earlier and there had been a flood, would we all have had to deal with it here? Everyone was frightened.

Jingli continued: "There is a drought over there, and there must be a flood here. The further we go, the more dead bodies there will be. In such a hot day, if no one is here to deal with the corpses, they will probably get damaged." Then the plague began to spread.”

As soon as the old men heard about the plague, they were so frightened that they could not stand upright. Some of them had experienced it when they were young. It was really like ten rooms and nine empty houses!
"So we have to cover our mouths and noses and pass quickly. If anyone is infected with the plague, no one among us, number [-], can survive!"

After receiving the order, several team leaders immediately went down to arrange for people to make masks, and ordered the women to cover their children's mouths and noses. As soon as the villagers heard about the plague, their faces changed with fright, and they did not dare to complain about Jingli's prodigality. But they brought their own vinegar to disinfect everyone!

Jing Li gave the mask Su had sewn to the child: "Here, do you know how to put it on?"

The child nodded, took the mask and covered himself tightly. His eyes remained calm and showed no emotion.

Jingli just felt bored, who was this bastard kid? I couldn't see any expression on his face for the past few days. He must have facial paralysis!

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and continued on the road. After walking less than half a mile, everyone was shocked by Jing Li's judgment.

Sure enough, the further we walked, the more dead bodies there were. Some were floating on the river, some were half-lying on the edge of the river embankment, and some were on the grass not far from the river bed, but they were covered with mud. They were obviously dead bodies. Washed away by the river.

What's more, there are mothers holding their children tightly, which makes people cry.

The corpses of these people had been looking at them for several days. Many of them were rotting. Flies were buzzing on them, and a foul smell could be smelled from a distance.
