Lord National Teacher, please forgive me

Chapter 500 Ancient Farmer (12)

It has been raining for five days, the river in the village is full of water, and several landslides have occurred on the mountain.

Qin Yi said to Fengling worriedly, "I bought a few maps from the county before, and found that there is a dam nearby. If there is too much rain and the flood floods back, I am afraid that those officials will release the flood. The place we are in belongs to the downstream. I'm afraid that the whole downstream will be submerged by the flood at that time, we can't stay here anymore

Feng Ling nodded, and then said worriedly, "The roads in ancient times were all dirt roads, and it has rained for several days and the roads are muddy, so I am afraid they will subside.

Why didn't Qin Yi understand this truth? It's just that time was running out, and he couldn't wait any longer. Qin Yi stood up and said to Feng Ling, "I'll go out and discuss it with the villagers."

Feng Ling nodded and watched Qin Yi leave.

Although Qin Yi can be said to be the leader of the entire village at present, Qin Yi is guiding all matters, but whenever there are major events, Qin Yi will also find some respected old people in the village to discuss.

Fortunately, at noon, the rain finally stopped. Qin Yi and Feng Ling were overjoyed. They didn't dare to waste time, so they immediately ordered people to pack their things and set off immediately.

The villagers also knew that the situation was urgent. Although they knew that the road was difficult and the dirt road was muddy, they still gritted their teeth and set out on the road.

This time on the road, except for the very young children, the rest of the people were wearing coir raincoats and straw sandals walking on the road pushing the cart, and the muddy road wheels were particularly prone to sinking.

After walking for two hours, everyone was exhausted. In fact, they didn't go very far in two hours.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the clouds were dense, Qin Yi rode a horse and led people to explore the way ahead, and then let the people walk for half an hour, and came to the foot of a mountain.

Qin Yi asked everyone to walk up the mountain road. They were so exhausted that they sat slumped on the ground and didn't want to move. They couldn't help complaining when they heard Qin Yi's order.

"Little Qin Xiucai, I think we can rest at the foot of the mountain tonight, there is no need to climb up the mountain again?"

"That's right, little Qin Xiucai, everyone is tired after driving for so long, let's rest at the foot of the mountain tonight."

Even Qin Shouren couldn't help walking to Qin Yi's side, and said in a low voice, "I think tonight, let everyone rest at the foot of the mountain."

Qin Yi said to Qin Shouren, "Father, I also want my folks to rest at the foot of the mountain, but if the upstream really releases the flood, we might not survive at the foot of the mountain. To be safe, let's work harder. Moreover, this mountain is relatively gentle, and there are winding roads excavated by hand, although it is a bit more laborious, it is still relatively easy to walk."

Qin Shouren couldn't help doubting, "Just one night, it shouldn't be such a coincidence?"

Qin Yi said, "Father, we can't take chances. If the upstream really releases the flood, we won't even have a chance to regret it in the future."

Finally, under Qin Yi's good words, the villagers finally got up and started on the road again.

When they reached the halfway up the mountain, it was already dark, and many villagers were too tired to get up, especially some women and children, who were so tired that they were crying. In the end, Qin Yi had no choice but to order that everyone gather in the middle of the night tonight. Resting on the mountainside, the villagers couldn't help cheering when they heard the words.

The men still rested, and the women took their children and started to cook. Because of the heavy rain, the surrounding trees were very wet and unusable. Fortunately, they listened to Qin Yi's suggestion and brought some charcoal. There was a smell of food.

Everyone was tired all day, and after the meal was ready, the villagers devoured it hungrily, and some even fell asleep after eating.

Qin Yi did not take a break, but led people to patrol.

When Feng Ling found Qin Yi, seeing that Qin Yi's eyes were blue and black, and his face was tired, he couldn't help but worried, "Go and rest, I'll watch over here."

Qin Yi just smiled gently, stepped forward and held Feng Ling's hand, Feng Ling's heart jumped, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Qin Yi held Feng Ling's hand tightly and said, "I'm fine, you do not need to worry."

Feng Ling's face was burning, but fortunately it was dark at this time, in order to cover up her embarrassment, Feng Ling said quickly, "Remember to rest when you are tired, I will go back first."

Qin Yi nodded, looking at Feng Ling's fleeing back, his eyes were softer.

After eating, everyone began to rest quickly, and the camp was quiet.

It started to rain again soon, and everyone had no choice but to curse God in a low voice. In order to have the strength to continue on the road tomorrow, they had to rest quickly.

Qin Yi didn't take a rest until midnight. He got into the carriage and planned to rest for a while, but he didn't expect that Xiaoshu rushed over, "Brother Qin is not well..."

Qin Yi and Feng Ling, who heard the movement, quickly opened their eyes, opened the curtain, and saw Xiaoshu standing outside the car, with a look of horror on his face, "Brother Qin, the rain has flooded the bottom of the mountain, and the water is growing fast. It will be flooded soon."

"what?"

Qin Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoshu, tell everyone to get up quickly and climb to the top of the mountain, quickly!"

Xiaoshu nodded quickly and said, "I see."

After speaking, he turned and left, and then there was chaos in the camp, with the crying of many children and the disturbed voices of adults.

Qin Yi and Feng Ling hurried out of the carriage to appease the crowd and let them work together to climb to the top of the mountain together.

Qin Yi went outside to look at the rising water level, and said to everyone in a very firm tone, "The water level has risen so fast, it seems that the upstream has already released the flood, we can't stay here anymore, we have to leave quickly."

At this moment, the villagers couldn't help thinking of what Qin Yi said in the evening, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. They didn't listen to Qin Yi's words. Fortunately, Qin Yi had arranged for people to patrol, and those people were more awake, otherwise they, who had fallen asleep, would be silent. were flooded.

Everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, even if they had to climb this time, they had to climb to the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, it was discovered early. When everyone climbed to the top of the mountain panting, and looked down the mountain, the rushing river seemed to be a black hole that could swallow everyone up. A wave of fear.

Qin Yi arranged for everyone to rest, and he took the people with him. First, he counted the number of people and found that there were not many people, so he was relieved.

It was raining all the time, and there were no crowds on the top of the mountain, but in order to survive, there was no other way.

The rain was still falling the next day, and Xiaoshu hurriedly came to Qin Yi to report, "Brother Qin, someone is sick."

Qin Yi put down the unfinished meal, stood up, and said to Feng Ling, "Eat first, I'll go and have a look."

Feng Ling put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Qin Yi, "You didn't sleep all night last night. I'll go and have a look. You can take a rest after eating."

Qin Yi still wanted to refuse, Feng Ling glared at him, Qin Yi nodded with a wry smile, and didn't speak any more.

Feng Ling got up and followed Xiao Shu to the outside, and Xiao Miao quickly followed up with her umbrella. When the three of them left, a smile slowly formed on Qin Yi's lips.

The one who was sick was a three-year-old child. When Feng Ling arrived, the child's mother was holding the child in her arms. Their car was very simple and even leaked. The mother carefully held the child in her arms. The shaking stopped, and the child kept crying because of a high fever.

Seeing Feng Ling coming, the child's mother looked at Feng Ling expectantly, hoping that Feng Ling could save her child.

When Feng Ling came, she brought some herbal medicine. Feng Ling checked the child's condition first, and then asked Xiao Miao to decoct the medicine. Besides, Feng Ling also used silver needles to prick the child a few times. , the child's fever began to subside, and after changing the medicine, the child fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that the child stopped crying, the child's mother showed joy on her face, and thanked Feng Ling non-stop.

Feng Ling first smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, the child should be fine tomorrow morning, if there is any problem, just come to me."

After the child's mother and father thanked each other again, Feng Ling took Xiao Shu and Xiao Miao and left.

The next day, the rain still did not stop, but several old people and children in the village fell ill because of the humid environment and exhaustion.

Feng Ling and Qin Yi visited one by one, gave these old people and children some medicine, and watched them fall asleep, so they were relieved.

Three days later, the water level began to drop, and the rain stopped. Everyone was overjoyed. They had been on the mountain for several days. Although they had food and drink, the humid environment and narrow place made it difficult for them to be happy. .

After another two days, Qin Yi took people down the mountain to investigate, and after making sure that there was no danger, everyone went down the mountain carefully.

As far as the eye can see, there is devastation everywhere, and from time to time, some animals and human corpses can be seen, all of which have been soaked. Many villagers can't bear to look directly, and when they think of themselves, they can't help feeling grateful.

Many people also know that the survival of themselves and their families is all due to the Qin family.

So many people died, it would easily cause a plague. Qin Yi didn't dare to delay, so he asked Feng Ling to take out the masks he had prepared and distribute them to everyone. This was Qin Yi's explicit order to wear them, and he also told everyone about hygiene Epidemic prevention knowledge, after so many things, everyone didn't dare to have any doubts, so they put it on immediately.

The road was still muddy. At this time, everyone had already ignored anything. Walking along the road, they could see three or five survivors from time to time.

After walking like this for three days, Frontier found that there were a lot of fleeing people along the road. These people were in small groups, in a mess, with limited things on their bodies, and there were even many sick people among them. These people looked at Qin There was a hint of envy and plunder in Yi Yi's eyes.

Earthquakes, droughts, locust plagues, and floods almost completely flooded the downstream fields, causing widespread famine. These people can only find some bark and roots to satisfy their hunger every day, while the group of people in front of them are driving ox carts, carts, and carts. There are also a lot of things on the Internet, it should be food, think of food
Many people, especially young people, couldn't help showing a ruthless look in their eyes.

Qin Yi and the people in the village noticed the fierce eyes of those people.

It was getting dark in the evening, and Qin Yi ordered everyone to stop in an abandoned village. After driving for a day, everyone was exhausted, but Qin Yi asked Xiaoshu to call all the strong laborers in the village. It makes people feel very safe.

Qin Yi looked at these people in front of him and said in a heavy tone, "Fellow folks, you should have seen that the refugees along the street have fallen into famine due to drought and floods, and they may have noticed the food in our car." .”

"Everyone should be alert when patrolling at night. If you encounter people who rob food, you can't be polite to them, and you can't escape. If someone escapes, I swear here that if anyone dares to escape, I will drive out the whole family. We are from the same village, and we came out together to escape, I hope that everyone can survive and reach the south alive, and then we can be neighbors."

The villagers are not ignorant people. After listening to Qin Yi's words, they also realize the seriousness of the problem. It's not that they didn't notice the way the refugees walking along the road looked at them. It's also that these villagers have always been simple and kind. I don't want to make people think too badly.

But in order to survive, people can do anything, Qin Yi still needs to vaccinate them in advance, so as not to encounter robbery, these villagers are at a loss, causing an irreparable situation.

Qin Yi divided all the villagers into two groups, and replaced them with patrolling back and forth. The kid Xiaoshu didn't know where to take out a gong. He couldn't help laughing out loud, and then said to the honest little tree, "Good job."

Then handed the gong to the patrolling people, telling them to beat the gong if they have something to do, which is also convenient for everyone to support.

At night, the women, the elderly and children are on duty first. When the women, the elderly and children are walking during the day, they can rest in the carriage for a while. During the journey, the male labor force in the family is the hardest.

In order to allow the husband, son, and father of the family to get enough rest, Feng Ling decided to take the elderly in the village, women and children on duty first, and then switch to men on duty in the early hours of the morning.

Torches were lit in the place where they lived at night, and it was dark all around, Feng Ling could feel it, and many people slowly surrounded them.

The people who surrounded them were all refugees on the road. The food in these refugees' homes was washed away by the flood. Normally, if they wanted to eat tree bark, they would have to grab it. Now they encountered such a large convoy. They were already envious of the food pulled by the cart. As long as they could grab the food, they and their relatives would be able to survive. Anyway, they were going to starve to death, so they might as well risk their lives to grab it.

Many people held this idea, holding sticks picked up from the ground in their hands, staring at the convoy like wolves and tigers, quietly waiting for the time to come.

Qin Yi and Feng Ling were sitting in the carriage, Qin Yi drank his saliva and said to Feng Ling, "I'm afraid those people will do something tonight."

Feng Ling nodded and said, "I can feel it. It's probably in the middle of the night when they do it."

Qin Yi nodded and said to Feng Ling, "Take a rest for a while, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the second half of the night."

Feng Ling shook her head, looked at Qin Yi seriously, and said, "You've been exhausted for the past two days, you should rest, it's much easier for me to sit in the carriage during the day than you are."

Qin Yi has been busy on the road during this period, arranging the travel of the convoy, and has not practiced much, and his face can't help but look a little tired.

On the other hand, Feng Ling spent most of her time practicing in the carriage, but she was full of energy and had a ruddy complexion.

Qin Yi could feel Feng Ling's worry about him, smiled, then nodded, "Okay."

Qin Yi lay in the carriage tonight and quickly fell asleep. Feng Ling got out of the car and took a look around first. There was nothing special about it. He sat on the shaft of the car, staring at the dark place without blinking.

Time passed, and the day was too exhausting. Many old people, women and children, when they were on patrol, cheered up and yawned non-stop.

Just after midnight, I don't know who it was, and suddenly shouted in the dark, "If you want to live, go with me, starve to death or be beaten to death, I'd rather be a hungry ghost."

After finishing speaking, Feng Ling saw a tall but thin man rushing towards him with a kitchen knife in his hand. There were many people behind this man, and those people also shouted loudly, "Speak That's right, even if I have to die, I will be a full ghost."

In this damn world, either you die or I die, and then said, "If you don't want to starve to death, if you don't want to be starved to death, just rob them with me."

"Why are we all starving to death, and they still have so much food?"

This sudden scene frightened many villagers. After all, they were honest peasants before. When have they seen such a battle?

Xiao Miao, who was following Feng Ling, was also a little petrified, Feng Ling immediately ordered Xiao Miao to call for someone in a low voice.

Hearing the classical Chinese, Xiao Miao hurriedly nodded and ran away. After a while, the sound of gongs sounded, and the villagers immediately woke up, holding wooden sticks, and watching the refugees who surrounded them vigilantly.

The leading refugee held a kitchen knife, pointed straight at Feng Ling, and shouted, "If you don't want to die, hand over all the food."

Feng Ling pursed her lips, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone's life is hard. We do have food in the car, but we saved the food with all our strength. If we gave it to you, we would starve to death. We won't give food to you. of."

The big man sneered, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to say."

After the big man finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Everyone come with me, we can only live if we grab the food."

After the big man finished speaking, he took the lead, holding a kitchen knife, and slashed at Feng Ling's face without hesitation.

Seeing the skillful posture of the big man, he might be a practicing family member, and it might not be the first time that he killed someone, Feng Ling turned his head to avoid the blow, turned around and kicked the big man's face.

The big man was kicked more than ten meters away by Feng Ling, his body fell heavily on the ground, his head tilted, and he was directly kicked to death by Feng Ling.

This scene was too shocking. These refugees who wanted to rush forward were all shocked. They were just ordinary people before, and they were also hungry. They wanted to grab other people's food and eat people's world, not you. To die is to die, but they did not expect a young woman to be so powerful. The refugees looked at each other and stood where they were, not daring to move.

Feng Ling's eyes were cold, and she searched the faces of those refugees, and then said loudly, "We won't give food, and whoever dares to take another step forward will end up with that man."

The scene just now was indeed shocking, and it made many people clear their heads, knowing that the group of people in front of them might be difficult to deal with, but if they gave up on this, it would make them a little unwilling, so someone in the crowd shouted, "Everyone, don't I’m afraid, together, she’s just a woman, no matter how powerful she can be, as long as we work together, the food is ours.”

Then you naturally know this truth, so you echoed loudly, and while it was dark, more than a dozen people directly surrounded Feng Ling.At this time, Qin Yi had already rushed over with the strong villagers. Seeing this situation, Qin Yi immediately shouted, "Go!"

The villagers rushed up with sticks, hoes, and shovels in their hands, and the two sides immediately fought together.

This is a battle of death and death, and soon many people fell unconscious on the ground, and the ground was soon stained with blood, and a thick bloody smell permeated the surroundings.

In order to protect their children, many elderly people rushed their children into the carriages and prevented them from coming out.

Feng Ling and Qin Yi were very skilled. After a while, they knocked down those refugees who wanted to grab food. There were still some refugees around who wanted to grab food. Seeing this situation, they dared not move any more. , or have relatively high morality, and cannot do things like grabbing other people's food.

After knocking down all the food grabbers, Qin Yi asked the villagers to throw those people elsewhere, and they set off immediately the next morning.

But at this moment, what Qin Yi and Feng Ling didn't expect was that a woman in her 20s with messy hair fell to her knees in front of Feng Ling with a plop.

In his arms is a child who is only half a year old. The child's eyes are closed tightly, and the heat is emitting from his body, as if he is sick. He is also holding a 3 or 4-year-old child in his hand. The child was emaciated, with sunken eye sockets, and was so hungry that he could hardly walk.

The woman seemed not to be afraid of death, she slammed her head heavily on the ground, bleeding from her head with just one blow, the woman's voice was hoarse, she looked at Feng Ling with a begging face, "kind madam, please help me child
It doesn't matter if I die, but my children are still young, they are still young, please save them, as long as you give them a bite to eat and raise them up, they will be your people in the future, you treat them like cattle or horses Please, madam, please save my child."

With a hoarse voice, the woman kowtowed to Fengling sincerely and eagerly, and made the older child also kneel down to kowtow to Fengling. Ma'am, give us a bite to eat, please."

"Ma'am, this is my grandson. He is only 6 years old. We only have one seedling left in our royal family. Please give him a bite to eat. My old lady, I will be your cow and horse in the next life to repay you."

"Ma'am, this is my daughter. She is 11 years old and can work. When she is at home, she does laundry and cooking. She can do everything. As long as you give me a bite, she is yours. Please help us." .”

Some parents of children want to sell their daughters in exchange for some rations. Some parents really think about their children and know that there is no food to eat. But sooner or later you will starve to death and sell your children, maybe you can still live.

Looking at the group of people who were starving like skeletons in front of them, pleading nonstop, no matter how strong Feng Ling's heart was, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

Feng Ling knew in her heart that this opening cannot be opened, and the disaster has just begun. If at this time, because of kindness, they keep taking in these poor people, no matter how much food they bring, they will not be able to support them. In the end, not only these When people die, they themselves starve to death.

But if it doesn't help...

Looking at the group of people kneeling on the ground in front of them, the villagers couldn't help feeling sad, because they knew in their hearts that if the Qin family hadn't given them a warning and led them away, they might not be as good as these people, and they should have died long ago Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will starve to death sooner or later, so they have deep sympathy and compassion in their hearts. ruthless.

Feng Ling wanted to refuse, but looking at the innocent and pitiful little faces kneeling in front of her, she couldn't say the cold words. Feng Ling has always been the most tolerant to children. The dozens of children kneeling in front of her , the oldest is only a teenager, and the youngest is only a few months old. They are already hungry and thin. If there is no more food, they will all die within three days.

Feng Ling wanted to save them, but in this life, she was not that capable. Although she brought a lot of food, it was just the beginning. After that, she would meet more and more refugees. Help the poor child, will she be saved?Does she have that ability?

All her abilities were sealed. If her abilities were not sealed, she would have the ability to save these people, but if her abilities were all sealed, would she still be able to save these people?
As if seeing Feng Ling's embarrassment, Qin Yi walked to Feng Ling's side, held Feng Ling's hand, and Feng Ling looked up at Qin Yi.

I saw Qin Yi's eyes were gentle, and his tone was gentle, "It's okay, I will support you whatever you want to do."
