Chapter 252

Seeing this, the group of bandits knew that they couldn't get along well today, so they greeted each other, and ran into the woods, and ran away completely.

Luo Tian didn't even think about chasing them, anyway, he couldn't catch them anyway, they were all ordinary people driven by poverty, although they were a bit hateful.

She remembered that Luo Mingdu rolled down the hillside just now, so she hurried over and said, "Sister, luckily you are fine, did you get hurt just now?"

Luo Mingdu's face turned pale. Hearing Luo Tiandu's question, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not hurt at all, but brother Cheng Sheng has been protecting me just now, and the injury is not serious."

Cheng Sheng on the other end was bending over to check Cheng Qing's injuries. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any serious injuries, so he was relieved. Hearing Luo Mingdu's words, he turned his face and said, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury, and there is no need to apply medicine. ,It will be fine after few days."

Mr. Xu and Zishu restacked the luggage that fell on the road and put it on the mule cart.

Luo Baisu looked at the forest, then looked at Mang Mountain in the distance, where he couldn't see the end at a glance, thought for a while, and said: "The two bags of rice are cracked, forget it, don't need to pick it up again, spill it." Just spill it."

Zishu still couldn't recover, thinking that although the bag was worn out in the fight just now, it didn't have a big hole, so he tied up the broken part with a rope, and then carried it on the cart, it was nothing. It's troublesome, but since Luo Baisu ordered so, he threw two bags of rice on the road, tied the other luggage and the like again, tied them tightly, and then boarded the car.

Because of being frightened by this turn, the group of people were not in a good mood, they sat and drove, and no one spoke.Mr. Xu's brows were even more frowning, and his heart was in a state of confusion. He hated his relatives in his hometown for not learning well, and became a bandit. He was also worried that they would offend Luo Baisu and implicate other villagers. .

The rest of the journey was very peaceful, no more bandits came out of the forest, and the group finally arrived at the county seat of Yi County safely.

On the day we arrived in Deyi County, it didn't rain, and amidst the whimpering of the north wind, the dilapidated small town hidden in the mountain depression looked dilapidated and desolate.

The dilapidated city wall has long been dilapidated due to years of disrepair, the roads in the city are full of potholes, and there are collapsed earth houses on both sides.The mule cart entered the city gate, and it was quiet all the way, which was very different from the bustle and bustle of other counties.

Luo Tian was very surprised.

She knew that Yi County was remote and desolate, and she didn't expect it to be so dilapidated. If she hadn't seen a few houses piled up with firewood outside and dried radishes and dried vegetables under the eaves, she would have thought that the whole county was given to her. It felt like a ghost town.

"Mr. Xu, is there no one in this county? Is it just empty like this?" She asked Mr. Xu next to him.

Mr. Xu probably also returned to his hometown for the first time after moving to Ba Xun. Seeing the deserted city, he felt very uncomfortable: "There were not many people at first, but after that happened, everyone was afraid of being implicated, so we could move to another place." People from other places have all moved out, and over time, there will be fewer people in the city."

"Then it can't be that there are no living people?" Luo Tiandu asked in surprise, this Yi County gave her the feeling of a ghost town.

"Everyone should hide." Mr. Xu said.

"Hide? Where to hide? Why hide?" Luo Tian asked in puzzlement.

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at the deserted city, and sighed: "Little lady, you don't understand, there are many mountains here, and there is not much arable land. Every year, I work hard to grow some food. When the autumn harvest comes, there will The barbarians still want to come and rob. In the early years, the imperial court sent people to watch, but now they don’t send people. The life of the people is becoming more and more difficult, but those who can move out by some means have moved to other places, and the ones who stay... ...Ah! They were scared out of their wits, and when they saw someone coming, they hid in the mountains."

Luo Tian was silent, and after talking for a long time, it turned out that it was because they and their group came that the people in the city thought it was barbarians who came to rob things again, so they all ran into the mountains.

Everyone was in a dull mood, and they walked towards the city without saying a word, and finally the mule cart stopped on a wasteland.It used to be a big house there, but it seemed obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time. The yard was deserted, overgrown with weeds, and the walls had collapsed.

Mr. Xu got out of the mule cart first, walked around to Luo Baisu's driveway, and said, "Grandfather, this is the county government. It's getting late today, so I'll go look around and see if I can find some folks to come over and help out." Grandpa tidied up the house."

Luo Tian could hear it, jumped off the mule cart, looked at this haunted house, very speechless.She had heard that the county government office in Yi county had been burned down once, and it had been left unattended for so many years. It must be very dilapidated, but she never imagined that the house in front of her, which was comparable to a ghost house, was actually a house in Yi County. County government.Most importantly, it's getting dark now, can this house live in?Could it be that Luo Baisu had to live in the street on the first night of taking office?

Fang and the others who got out of the car with her also felt cold when they saw the dilapidated house.

Luo Tian turned his head, looked at his father, opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.

Luo Baisu also looked shocked when he got out of the car, but he is a man after all, and he is better able to withstand wind and waves. After the shock, he quickly recovered and said, "Don't look, Zishu, you and Cheng Qing unload the luggage. , Xiaodu, you and your elder sister go and have a look, choose a house that can live in, and then go to see where there is water, get some water, at least clean up two houses to live in tonight."

Looking at this deserted house, Luo Tiandu was actually a little scared, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Brother Cheng Sheng, you can go with me."

Cheng Sheng was helping Cheng Qing unload his luggage. Hearing this, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Okay, young lady, you are afraid. Don't be afraid. I'll show you from the front." After saying that, he hugged the smaller suitcase and put it inside Walk.

Luo Tian followed behind him, step by step, and looked back and forth, left and right from time to time, for fear that A Piao would come out of nowhere.

The county office was probably refurbished later, and it looks dilapidated from the front, but the house inside looks very solid, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, and the windows and doors are a bit rotten due to the wind and rain.

At that moment, Luo Tiandu and Cheng Sheng chose the slightly neater rooms in the back and moved all the suitcases in. Xiqiao and Xiang Lan took a rag and roughly wiped the dust on the tables, chairs and beds.When he was busy, Mr. Xu brought a few people over.

Luo Tian has seen poor people, such as those refugees outside Jinyong County when the disaster hit the south, but none of those refugees can compare to how these people feel so miserable and poor.These people seem to be quite old, their faces are full of wrinkles, they are all black and thin, their bodies are shriveled, skinny and bone-like, their waists are bent, and their backs are particularly obvious. He was wearing a kudzu clothes outside, because he was too thin, the clothes were like a cloth bag covering his body, bulging by the wind, it looked like a shriveled corpse wrapped in a layer of cloth.

"They are?"

"Grandpa, it's getting late, I called a few people over to help tidy up the house." Third Master Xu said again: "This is a new grandpa, hurry up and help him clean up two rooms before dark." Come out of the clean house."

Those people looked dumb, and after listening to Mr. Xu's words, they bowed their heads silently and dispersed, each looking for something to do, repairing the door, mending the window, and cleaning. When Mr. Xu saw the kitchen, he was about to collapse. Yes, and the other two moved a few stones over and built an earthen stove.

The people kept tidying up until dark, and finally took a few rooms out. Fang and Xiang Lan put up bedding and bedding, and finally had a place to sleep tonight. Fortunately, she was frugal, and when she came, she cleaned up the beds at home. I brought all the quilts I ordered, or else the house was cleaned up and there was no place to sleep.

It was late and there was no light, so the family took out the pancakes they had not finished eating on the road, divided them among themselves, and treated them as dinner.

The few who followed Mr. Xu looked at the rough and unpalatable dry pancakes, their eyes gleamed, but none of them came up to get food. Luo Tian began to think that they were afraid of the government and did not dare to eat, so he Each of them shared two pieces and persuaded them a few words. Later, one of the oldest ones could see that the Luo family really wanted them to eat, so he took the pancakes, put them in his arms carefully, and said, "Grandpa, ma'am , can I take it home to eat? There are two little ones at home, hungry."

Luo Tian only felt that the pancakes he had just swallowed were stuck in his throat, and his heart was sour.

These people are really too poor.

Fang had already wrapped the extra pancakes in cloth, handed them to them, and said, "Everyone divides these, let's go home."

Everyone thanked and thanked each other, divided the pancakes into pieces, wrapped them in their arms, and left.

What happened in the past two days was really shocking. After several months of driving, I was very tired. Now I finally arrived at the destination. It is better to sleep crowded together on a mule cart.

The family hastily washed and cleaned up, and went to bed separately.

Although Luo Tiandu was also very tired, but the previous robbery reminded her, even at this moment, she didn't dare to sleep too much, so she discussed with Cheng Sheng and Cheng Qing, and took turns to watch the night.

Cheng Qing and Cheng Sheng didn't want her to be troubled, they only said that the two of them would let her go to bed in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.She had no choice but to agree, but both Cheng Qing and Luo Tian didn't dare to be careless, they didn't dare to sleep soundly all night, and were wary of the noise from outside, for fear that another thief would come in and kill their family. Killed, or set fire to.I was in a daze all night, not daring to fall asleep, and woke up with a start when there was a slight noise, and being suspicious all night was actually more tiring than not sleeping.

When it was daylight, she heard people walking outside and Fang Shi and Luo Baisu talking, so she felt relieved and went to sleep peacefully.
