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

Chapter 53 An Unusual Thing Happened
The sky was still bright and the people across the street were still sleeping soundly, so Jingli and the others set off.

Several people in the team were injured. Jingli planned to take them into the city to buy some medicine for injuries. This place was hundreds of miles away from the border of Qingzhou. She hoped to buy some medicine for injuries.

Guard Shen woke up when he saw the group making noise. Facing the bandits who robbed them, he didn't sleep well all night. He would get up immediately if there was any sign of trouble.

Seeing that the person on the other side was getting ready to leave, he hurried forward to report to Madam. Madam Wang frowned upon hearing this: "Are you sure it's a bandit?"

Guard Shen hesitated slightly: "Their mules and carts were the same ones that were robbed before, so they can't be wrong!"

Mrs. Wang said with hatred on her face: "Then follow quickly and report to the Second Master once you enter the city. We can't let these unscrupulous villains escape!"

When the girl heard that the group of people were bandits, she secretly resented: "Seeing that such a handsome young man is actually a bandit? It is in vain that I have been humiliated by him in vain. When I meet my second uncle, I will definitely let him..."

The girl bit her lip and couldn't help but blush when she thought of the young master's god-like grace.

Dalang crossed the crowd and came to Jingli's side: "Sister, those people followed yesterday."

Jing Li glanced back: "If they want to follow, just follow. Tell everyone to prepare for self-defense. If they dare to take action, we will dare to fight them seriously."

When Wang Dalong and others heard this, they were also frightened. That group was different from the refugees who had no enough to eat. They were all strong and armed with swords and guns, but they had to pay great attention.

When approaching Bishui City, dead bodies began to appear on the roadside. Different from those who died of starvation and illness on the road in the past, these dead bodies all had injuries on their bodies. They looked like they had been beaten to death. The important thing was that they had no heads.

Guard Shen looked a little unhappy and stepped forward to ask Mrs. Wang for instructions: "Madam, dead bodies keep appearing on the roadside here. Why don't you send someone into the city to inquire about it?"

Mrs. Wang was extremely contemptuous: "There are refugees everywhere these days, and there are many sneaky and unscrupulous people among them. Is it any wonder that a few people were killed and left on the roadside?"

The girl next to me followed up and said, "What mother said is absolutely true. It would be strange if no one was beaten to death. My second uncle has always been an official in a good manner. These dead people must be those who committed crimes!"

The master has said so. What else can Shen Guards say, but he is very uneasy in his heart.

Also uneasy was Jing Li. At this moment, she was inspecting the corpses with gloves on and explaining to Dalang and the other teenagers: "Look, the wounds on these corpses are all stab wounds, and they are all fatal. The force is extremely strong." It’s so fierce, it can be seen that those who do it are arrogant people, and these dead people are powerless to fight back.”

"And these people were decapitated and dumped randomly in the wilderness. It must not have been the work of refugees!"

Jingli's face became more and more solemn. The refugees would only steal food and clothing. Even if they killed people, they would not cut off their heads. The only ones who would cut off their heads would be...
"Stop! Don't leave yet. Rest where you are and let Auntie and the others get some food as quickly as possible."

Jing Li secretly ordered Da Lang and others to distribute the weapons to the women, and asked Jing Hao Dafu, Uncle Tiesheng and others to check the condition of the wheels of the vehicles. Mr. Jing and the others took good care of the animals, and then ordered everyone to start washing and tidying up their clothes and appearance.

Huo Shen sat at the front of the car and glanced at the dead bodies on the roadside without changing his expression. Hearing Jing Li's instructions from the person in front, a smile appeared on his lips. She was indeed extremely smart.

When Shen Huwei and his party came over, they saw that everyone in Jingjia Village was busy tidying up and grooming, and even the animals were being groomed.

The girl from the Wang family snorted: "A group of beggars are coming to the city, and they still know how to dress up. No matter how they dress up, they can't cover up the smell of mud!" Mrs. Wang glanced at her daughter in surprise: "You always watch what those people do. , Don’t stain your eyes, we are the Wang family of Dongjun, we have nothing to say to these refugees, please pay attention to your identity."

The words were spoken lightly, but those words filled with disgust from above floated in the wind into the ears of people on the roadside.

Immediately, several old ladies felt uncomfortable. They rolled up their sleeves and wanted to start a fight. Who were they trying to eliminate?If you had passed by like this in the peaceful days, we would have knelt down and kowtowed. We didn’t know who you were from a high-ranking family, but we knew that it was right to kowtow while watching this formation.

But now they are all on the run, so no one should dislike anyone. When the sun rises tomorrow, no one can say whether we will see each other again.

Mrs. Ge quickly grabbed a few old ladies and said, "Hurry up and feed the children. Don't be annoying by crying and moaning for a while. The captain has a lot to do!"

The people in Jingjia Village had no time to pay attention to them. They were all busy eating and packing, and they had to be ready to leave at any time when the captain gave the order.

After the Wang family group had disappeared, Jing Li hurriedly called Dalang and several young men with fast feet: "You guys follow from a distance and don't let anyone notice. If you find any accident, don't worry about anything and hurry up." come back,"

Dalang and others took the order and left. Jingli turned back and ordered everyone: "Rack up the mule cart and ox cart, pack everything properly, and all the elderly and children will get on the cart. Those with weak legs and feet will also get on the cart. If there is an emergency, Let’s leave quickly!”

Mr. Jing came over tremblingly, obviously a little frightened by the battle.

"Didn't you say you're going to the city soon? Why are you still so nervous?"

Jing Li looked into the distance and replied: "The dead bodies on the road were probably killed by officers and soldiers. I'm afraid this city has also changed its owner. We need to be more careful."

Mr. Jing trembled a little: "How come these officers and soldiers are still killing people in their own territory? Even if the master changes, it won't happen!"

As for!Jing Li was silent in her heart, thinking that this place might have just experienced a war, and someone killed refugees and pretended to be enemy prisoners to gain military merit.

Huo Shen walked up to Jing Li and looked at the girl next to him. He looked at the girl next to him. There had been a change of masters. These brats hadn't even sorted out their own mess. They were busy fighting for territory all day long. .

For a moment, no one in the crowd lined up with their backs to Sishui City made a sound, and everyone held their breath and looked at the direction Dalang and the others left.

The men kept wiping the machetes in their hands, and the women also held the kitchen knives tightly in their hands. Even the children felt that the atmosphere was really wrong and huddled in the arms of adults without saying a word.

The waiting time was extremely tiring. The fat aunt and several other aunts were looking into the distance with great anxiety. It had been more than an hour, so why was there still no movement?
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, scorching the entire earth. The animals began to open their mouths and pant heavily, and the old people quickly fed them some water.

Everyone stood under the scorching sun and couldn't bear to say that they wanted to find a shade place. An unspeakable tense atmosphere enveloped everything like the scorching sun.

The sun slowly went down, and Huo Shen suddenly spoke: "Hurry up! They are back!"
