Chapter 346 Victims on the Road
Qin Wan shook his head: "I don't know, but Qin Yang has been passing news about the capital to my grandfather. He should know something. Let's ask my grandfather."
However, before the two men could tell the carriage to stop, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Qin Jingnian, who had just moved his butt off the platform, became unsteady and was almost thrown out of the carriage by the inertia.
Fortunately, Qin Jingnian grabbed the car window in time and was not thrown out.
However, his head still hit the car window wall.
There was a loud bang, which hurt Qin Wan.
Qin Jingnian covered his head and opened the curtain angrily:
"Why are you driving? My head was hit!"
The driver quickly apologized:
"The young master redeems himself because there are refugees blocking the way in front of him. He didn't do it on purpose."
Qin Jingnian's temper came and went quickly. Hearing this, he looked forward.
"Hey, there are so many refugees!"
I saw that the original fork in the official road had been blocked by hundreds of refugees.
The refugees are all in ragged clothes, with sallow complexions and thin skin, and their lips are chapped and peeling.
When they see a carriage passing by the official road, they will rush forward in a swarm, praying that the carriage can give them water and food.
Now this group of refugees is heading towards the convoy of Prince Ding's Mansion.
Qin Wan opened the car curtain and poked her head out, and was slightly surprised to see so many refugees.
"Brother, were there so many refugees when you returned to the capital last time?"
"No, there were obviously not as many refugees on the official road last time as there are now."
"Let's go down and have a look."
Qin Wan jumped out of the carriage first, followed closely by Qin Jingnian.
However, after taking a few steps forward, he was stopped by Qin Tu, the leader of the palace guard.
"Miss, Master, places with many refugees are dangerous. You two should go to the carriage and leave this place to your subordinates."
Qin Wan and Qin Jingnian did not move.
Qin Wan crossed her arms and looked at Qin Tu with raised eyebrows:
"Brother Tu, how are you going to deal with so many refugees?"
"Of course, drive them away."
Qin Tu said without thinking.
"What if they don't leave?"
"Then... then draw your sword and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys when necessary. You can always scare them away."
After saying this, Qin Tu was worried that Qin Wan would sympathize with the refugees, so he carefully explained:
"Miss, please don't think that my subordinates are cruel. In fact, the food and water we brought are not much, and it is simply not enough to distribute to so many refugees.
Rather than not dividing them enough, it would be better not to divide them at the beginning. This would also prevent refugees from fighting over food and water. "
"What you said makes sense, but my brother and I still have to go out. We have a way to get the refugees to leave the official road and make way for them."
"This..." Qin Tu glanced at the group of refugees approaching the convoy, and said worriedly:
"Miss, why don't you tell me the method and I will take care of it."
Qin Wan shook her head:
"Only my brother and I can handle this. Don't worry, we will be fine. You have seen our abilities on the battlefield."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and King Ding poked his head out from inside and told Qin Tu:
"Qin Tu, listen to Wanwan and Jingnian and just do as they say."
Qin Tu bowed his hands respectfully:
"Yes."
Zhang Chuan walked over from the carriage of the eldest princess:
"Jingnian, do you want my help?"
"No need for godfather, just take care of the eldest prince and concubine. Leave this place to me and my sister."
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no refugees surrounding the convoy, the brother and sister drove the last carriage in the convoy to the foot of the mountain not far away.
This carriage contained supplies for the convoy entering Beijing. This amount of supplies alone was naturally not enough for the refugees.
But who told them to have space?
Changing places and taking things out of the space is to conceal others.
Second, they were worried that if porridge was cooked near the convoy, some thirsty and hungry refugees would snatch food and water.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the hill.
The roots and bark of the edible grass and trees on the mountain have been stripped away by the refugees, and now only some dry trees and dry grass are left.
"Brother, you gather firewood to light the fire, and I'll get water and rice."
"it is good."
Qin Jingnian ran towards the mountain, and Qin Wan ducked into the space.
The pond in the space is constantly gushing water, and this water contains spiritual energy.
The porridge cooked with this water can relieve some of the pain of the refugees after drinking it.
The food that Chen Yunzhi went to Luoyang Mansion to stock up on was piled in the open space.
The food was originally prepared for the battle between Dayue and Beixiang. Unexpectedly, it was not used on the battlefield, but now it comes in handy.
There is also space for pots and pans, but they are all prepared for the family to eat. The pots are not big and there are not many bowls.
"Host, there are pots and pans for sale in the mall."
Qiuqiu reminds me.
Qin Wan slapped her forehead, wondering why she had forgotten about the mall.
Worthless things like pots and pans are sold very cheaply in the mall.
Qin Wan estimated the number of refugees and bought 3,000 bowls and five large pots at once.
"Ding, the system mall sold three thousand pottery bowls and five large iron pots, costing 280 points and remaining points."
Qin Wan left the space with a lot of things.
In the open space at the foot of the mountain, Qin Jingnian had already started lighting a fire on the stove.
Qin Wan pointed to the things in the open space:
"Brother, I've already taken out all the food. I'm going to call a few guards to help make porridge. It's just the two of us taking time."
"Ahem, go, go, go," Qin Jingnian raised his head from the smoke-filled fire and urged Qin Wan:
"This fire is too difficult to burn! Sister, call someone quickly."
By the time Qin Wan rode back to the intersection of the official road, the refugees had already surrounded Prince Ding's convoy.
Perhaps it was the dazzling swords in the hands of the guards that shocked the refugees. They did not dare to step forward forcefully to grab things, but knelt on the ground miserably.
With runny noses and tears, I begged the nobles to give me some food.
But if the nobles refuse to give alms, this state will be broken, and sooner or later the refugees will directly grab them.
The rear of the team was also surrounded, and the entire convoy was surrounded by refugees.
Qin Wan had no choice but to shout to the crowd:
"If you want to have something to eat, get out of my way!"
Qin Wan's voice was filled with supernatural power, and the entire refugee group heard it.
The group of refugees who had been praying loudly just now fell silent instantly, and all of them looked in Qin Wan's direction.
Before the refugees could speak, Qin Wan said loudly again:
"Give me half an hour. After half an hour, I guarantee that everyone present will have a bowl of porridge.
Now, make a way for me. I will take people to cook porridge for you. "
The refugees surrounding the convoy did not move. One of them boldly said:
"You said that if there is porridge, there will be porridge? How can you guarantee it? What if there is not, and you want to trick us into letting you go?"
Qin Wan glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke. Compared to the others who were ragged and dirty, this man was much better.
The Chinese character face has a faint bookish air, and it is obvious that he is a fastidious person.
"who are you?"
Qin Wan asked.
Seeing this, the man stood up without being humble or arrogant, "I am the scholar of Xiangshui Village, and my father is the Li Zheng of Xiangshui Village."
The man said, and an elderly man next to him also stood up.
