The two calmed down and started talking.
After leaving Yongning County, the huge team marched towards the capital. Although the road was slippery due to snow, the speed of the carriage was still much faster than that of the people walking on their own two legs.
The rich people sat in the spacious and comfortable carriages, eating delicious food and enjoying the attentive service of servants. From time to time, they would lift the curtains to point fingers at the common people, mock them and laugh at them, to kill time.
From time to time, people would fall down because of the slippery road, and drag several people next to them down with them, causing the young men and women in the car to laugh continuously.
Some even shouted: "You deserve it! Why do you poor people want to go to Beijing? Do you deserve it?"
And those who rely on their own feet to move forward can only silently...try their best to catch up with the people behind. They carry heavy bags, staggering, and look sluggish. They just mechanically repeat the same actions, constantly reminding themselves in their hearts: Don't fall behind, don't fall behind...
Gradually……
Some people couldn't keep up with the team and were left behind halfway.
Most of these people are elderly people. Some of them do not want to be a burden to their children, while others have been ruthlessly abandoned by their families.
As the days passed, there was not much dry food left. Many families had been out of food for several days and could only rely on digging wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. However, the surroundings were covered with snow, and there were no wild vegetables at all. Many times, everyone would fight over a young wild vegetable seedling. The bark of the trees on the roadside had been stripped clean, and they stood bare by the roadside, which was very desolate.
Such scenes happen every day, with people falling down and never getting up again.
"Hehe, another one falls down, another one falls down, come and see..." A young man in gorgeous clothes stood on the carriage and shouted excitedly, as if he had seen something very funny, and kept clapping his hands.
The woman lying on the man's gradually stiffening body suddenly raised her head, her eyes red, and stared at the boy in the carriage fiercely. Then she staggered to her feet and rushed towards the boy like crazy, "I will beat you to death, you beast who doesn't speak human language, beat you to death..." The woman didn't know where she got the strength she had accumulated from, and she used it all on the boy.
The boy screamed in pain.
The servants and maids around finally reacted and started beating and kicking the woman. Soon she vomited blood and curled up like a shrimp, without any movement. Until her death, her hands were tightly grasping the dead man's fingers. A one-year-old child kept pulling the woman with his hands, "Mom, mom, wake up..." Seeing that the woman kept her eyes closed and ignored him, the child started pulling the man again, "Dad, Dad..."
The women watching couldn't bear it and cried with their hands covering their mouths.
Yan Hui pounded the table next to him. "When I rushed over, that unscrupulous beast..." He was unable to continue.
Butler Wu handed him a bowl of tea and went on, "That young man is the young master of the Huayi Silk Shop. He relies on his family's wealth to do many immoral things. When the young master and I rushed over, he, in order to vent his anger, actually had the child captured alive... and thrown, thrown..." He couldn't utter the rest of the words.
"It was because of his evil deeds that all the people were enraged. They rushed towards the beast like crazy and beat him to death. Everyone was in chaos..."
Naturally, the family was unwilling to give up and shouted loudly that they wanted to kill all these people, using the most nasty words. The people, who were originally a little scared because of the loss of life, could not suppress their emotions after hearing this, and simply went all out...
Although Yan Hui hated the boy's behavior, the bloody scene at that time still made him feel cold when he thought about it. The people who had been hunched over for years were like sharp weapons, waving all kinds of things in their hands, including stones, sticks, and self-defense weapons such as kitchen knives... and smashed them at the family.
The consequences can be imagined.
After everyone calmed down, I realized that my body, face, and hands were all covered in red.
They turned their heads and looked at Yan Hui fiercely, their eyes bloodshot.
Steward Wu grabbed Yan Hui and ran away in fear.
Several wealthy families nearby hid in their carriages, not daring to even breathe, let alone come out to help.
The days that followed returned to their previous calm and everyone continued on their journey as if what happened that night was just a farce.
But everyone knows that some things have changed.
A group of people rushed over and divided up all the food, carriages and items of the rich family. They also elected a person to be in charge. This person was very tall and stood there like a small mountain. When he looked at the rich people, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Although Yan Hui was a thick-skinned person, he also sensed something different.
Old Man Yan asked the servants and strong maids in the Yan Mansion to take the black sticks given by Song Jixiang and strengthen the patrols around. They also put a lot of medicine powder given by Song Jixiang on their bodies.
It turned out that their feeling was correct. On a moonless and dark night, a group of men quietly surrounded them and wanted to kill everyone in the carriage.
Yan Hui grabbed his hair and said, "This must have been what they were thinking at the time. They wanted to kill us all and then eat up our food, clothes, carriages and everything, including the women..." After saying this, he shuddered unconsciously.
"Then what? With the weapons and medicine I gave you, your family should be able to escape, right?" Song Jixiang was really puzzled. The things she gave to the Yan family were enough to arm a small team, so why did they get so embarrassed that they ran so far to ask her for help.
"Alas, we did escape..." Although there were many people, they had never learned any martial arts and relied entirely on brute force. They were simply no match for their black sticks.
Indeed, everyone in the Yan family escaped, and many smart families followed them.
Who knew that he would fall into the tiger's den just after escaping the wolf's den!
Before anyone could catch their breath, a group of strong men armed with swords jumped out from the darkness.
Old Man Yan was quick-witted and pushed him down the hill, then signaled Butler Wu to roll down the hill as well.
Because it was too dark, no one except the Yan family noticed that two people were missing.
"So, your whole family was captured by bandits!"
"My benefactor, you must save my family! Wow wow wow..." Yan's eyes became red when he thought of his family members whose lives or deaths were unknown. What he said about men not shedding tears easily was all bullshit. He just wanted to cry his heart out.
Song Jixiang had a headache. He thought about how he usually comforted his younger brother. He reached out and rubbed Yan Hui's head.
Yan Hui was comforted instantly.
"And, and, after Uncle Wu and I rolled down the hillside, we met a group of soldiers. We thought we were rescued, but that bastard officer not only refused to help me save people, but also wanted to take me away as a conscript. Fortunately, we escaped quickly! We always carry emergency food, water, and self-defense powder with us, otherwise I might not have survived until now."
……
At this time, the dog official mentioned by Yan Hui was leading a team of thousands of people towards them, and the distance between the two sides was no more than a thousand meters.
