After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

Uncle Zhuang Qiangzi's father, Lao Zhuangtou, saw this scene in front of him, stepped forward, praised Pianheng's ability, and expressed his desire to buy this ox cart. There was an ox cart on the way to escape, and he This handful of old bones will not fall apart.

Pian He said that he could resell the ox cart to him. The ox cart was bought for everyone to sit in. If everyone fled together, how could he keep the ox cart empty so that they could not sit in it? He wants to buy better.

At the same time, she also felt that Lao Zhuangtou’s family should be good people and could go with them.

When the old village head heard that he could buy a bullock cart, he immediately called his four sons to him. After some discussion, each of them scraped together a little money. Finally, they collected fourteen taels and seven cents of silver, and said that the rest of the money would be spent first. Thanks, Pian He agreed.

Pian Huo took the money from the old village head, which made Zhuang Ge'er roll his eyes several times. He scolded Pian Huo eight hundred times in his heart, feeling that his grandfather, uncle, father and uncle had all been tricked by Pian Huo. Yes, a broken ox cart costs seventeen taels.

Zhuang Ge'er put on a dissatisfied expression, but Pian He didn't care about her.

The head of the family, Lao Zhuangtou, has no problem with his character, and his uncle and sister-in-law are also good. They are not greedy, and they did not see that Dashan and she were just two children who were easy to bully, so they would bully them hard. It was already great to meet such relatives on the way to escape. It's very good, but you can't expect everyone to be good.

Since we couldn't enter the city and couldn't leave, we had no choice but to stay here overnight. Taking advantage of the advantageous terrain before it got dark, Pian Huan and Dashan began to get busy.

Pian He's leg was injured, mainly because Dashan was busy.

After getting along for the past few days, there was a vague understanding between Dashan and Pianhan. Both of them knew what the other was thinking. Soon, Dashan drove the ox cart to the base of the city wall not far from the city gate and occupied a space. Good location.

Dashan felt that parking the ox cart at this location would not offend the officials guarding the city gate, and it was also close to the city gate. He felt very at ease. Even if the city gate was closed at night, he felt that the closer he was to the city gate, the better. Safety.

After putting away the oxcart, Dashan went to discuss with his aunt and uncle and asked them to bring the oxcart too. The two families would sleep together at night so that they could take care of each other. The uncle agreed and hurriedly called his family to prepare for nightfall. prepare for.

Not long after, mats, bedding and other items were laid out on the two oxcarts.

The uncle's family name is Zhuang, and there are six adult men in the Zhuang family, namely Zhuang's four brothers, and his two eldest nephews Ming De and Ming Wu. The strength of Pian Huo and his party has greatly increased, plus they have two weapons in their hands. Dao, they became bolder and dared to spend the night outside the city gate.

Looking at the getting dark sky and the refugees lingering at the city gate, Dashan went to discuss the night vigil with his uncle Zhuang Qiangzi.

Dashan proposed that the banker's six men, plus himself, make a total of seven people, and the seven of them would take turns keeping watch at night.

The uncle felt that Dashan's proposal was very good, so he agreed on the spot, and then called his three brothers and two eldest nephews to Dashan. They all got together to discuss the specific details of the night vigil.

Pian Huan sat on the bullock cart, one thin leg dangling, and she did not dare to move the other swollen leg. She felt very at ease while eating the warm steamed buns she bought.

Cousin Zhuang's nickname was Gege, and her family members all called her Ge'er Ge'er. Ge'er looked at her cousin Dashan who was chatting with his father, and then looked at her cousin Dashan who was doing nothing, only knowing My cousin, who was eating and occupying the space, felt very angry. Her family only had one bullock cart, but there were more than ten people. How could there be enough space?

Pian He is really ignorant and doesn't know how to give up some seats so that everyone can sit evenly.

Taking one step at a time, Pigeon'er looked like she wished she could make a hole in the ground with every step she took. She walked up to Pianheng and asked angrily: "Cousin Pig, can my mother and I sleep tonight?" Is it on your bullock cart?”

"Yes, at night, all the women can come to my ox cart and squeeze in. As for the men, just sleep in your ox cart." Pian Huan said nonchalantly, and after that, he took another bite of the steamed bun. , chew slowly.

Geer glanced at the mats spread on the ground next to the two ox carts and said, "What about my brother? He is still young. Will he catch a cold if he sleeps on the ground?"

Hearing this, Pian Huo was stunned for a moment. She followed Ge'er's eyes and saw the mats on the ground next to her bullock cart. She couldn't help but suspect that Ge'er's words meant that her brother was going to sleep there tonight. On mats, not on bullock carts.

Oh, by the way, there are so many men in the banker and they are so big that they really can’t fit in an ox cart.

Pian Huan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and wanted to ask, how do you survive these nights without a bullock cart? But after thinking about it, he finally said to his cousin: "Since you care about your brother so much, why not give up your position to your brother?"

Cousin Mingwan is young, so it's okay to squeeze in with the female family members. She doesn't mind, there is no such big defense between men and women.

After hearing this, Ge'er's face changed and she was speechless.

"Geve, it's okay. You, your brother, and Pian Huan squeeze together in the oxcart. Mom will sleep on the floor." The little girl came over with a smile on her face. These days, she either sleeps at the base of the city wall or in a ruined temple. , it’s not about sleeping anywhere, she added: "Pianheng, your cousin is young, we are all relatives, there is no need to distinguish between men and women, don't you think so?"

Pian Huan nodded, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at his cousin, and then continued to eat the buns.

Ge'er was angry, angry that her mother didn't help her, and angry that Pianheng dared to laugh at her. She turned to look at her cousin Hu Dashan who was still talking, and her mood instantly improved.

Moving things, driving ox carts, helping to lay out mats and tidy up bedding, Hu Dashan did it with ease and everything was arranged properly.

Thinking of this, Ge Er smiled like a flower, showing the appearance of a girl obsessed with the mountains, her eyes were full of little stars. Pian Huan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, turned her face away, and continued to eat the buns, desperately wanting to grow taller and fatter. .

The early spring nights come early and it gets dark quickly.

As the sky gets darker, more and more refugees gather in the open space in front of the city gate, in groups, some sitting on the ground, and some simply lying on the ground. They are obviously tired from traveling during the day and don't care about anything. , I don’t have the heart to care about this.

Pian He and his party, with two oxcarts and a mat, were tightly leaning against the base of the city wall, surrounded by more and more refugees gathering inside.

In the bullock cart where Pian Huan slept, in addition to Pian Huan, her sister-in-law, her cousin, and three other girls from the banker's family, plus her sister-in-law's three sisters-in-law, the nine women were not crowded enough, but On the fairly long oxcart, my sister-in-law replaced my little cousin, so my cousin hugged her little cousin and slept next to Pianheng. Pianhen was almost squeezed out of the oxcart by them.

All the things originally on the oxcart were put under the oxcart.

Because everyone was sleeping sideways on the bullock cart, with their legs dangling in the air, there was no point of strength at all, and it was very uncomfortable. Pianheng's legs were injured and he couldn't sleep well at night.

For her who was injured, sleeping like this was simply too difficult.

Another bullock cart was also crowded with people lying close to each other, but the three people, my sister-in-law, uncle and the old village head, who were sleeping on mats on the ground, didn't seem crowded at all.

Pian He was so envious of them.

In the second half of the night, Pian He got up just before he was about to be squeezed out of the bullock cart.

When he woke up, he couldn't fall asleep. His legs didn't hurt much now, but they were sore and numb. He simply got out of the oxcart, wiped it black, pulled out his package from under the oxcart, and carried it on his back.

"Pianheng, why don't you sleep? It's still early." Dashan, who was on duty at night, noticed that his cousin had gotten up and asked in a low voice out of concern.

Pian He twitched the corners of his lips and said softly: "Cousin, you go to the side and squint for a while. I will guard you for a while. Give me the long knife."

Anyway, Dashan was not the only one keeping vigil. At this time, the person keeping vigil with Dashan was his uncle's eldest brother, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.

Pian Huan came down for Dashan and had a long knife in his hand. He thought it should be fine. Dashan was still a child and was growing up. He had been busy all day and had to keep vigil at night, which was really hard.

Pian He couldn't sleep anyway, so he just took Dashan's place for a while.

Dashan was indeed very tired. He handed the long knife to his cousin, sat down next to his cousin on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.

Pian He's legs healed fairly quickly, but they were very uncomfortable when they were hanging in the air at night. Now that they were standing on the ground, they wanted to move around more, stretch their muscles and bones, and get rid of the soreness and numbness.

So, Pian He held a long knife in her hand and began to circle around the mountain step by step. She didn't dare to go further and stretch her muscles.

Hearing that his cousin was walking beside him, Dashan felt relieved, and slowly, he really fell asleep.
