Chapter 31 Not a compassionate person

Those big men found that their accomplices had already carried away a lot of dry food, and they didn't want to fight.

"Withdraw!"

The menacing big man retreated like a tide.

Li Da wanted to chase after him, but seeing the dead and wounded colleagues on the ground, he could only grit his teeth and give up, "I will catch these thieves sooner or later and put them in the frying pan."

Su Ying didn't go after her either, she was worried about the old, young, sick and disabled in the whole family, fearing that they would become the targets of snatching.

Su Ying looked at the place where the officials stockpiled dry food, there was only one bag left, this amount was not enough for even a quarter of the manpower, she planned to put a few of her bags in the place when people were not paying attention. Material space, so as not to attract looting.

"Boss, what should we do? There is only so much left." The official sent a cry when he saw that there was only one pack of dry food left.

More than 20 officials were killed, wounded, and dry food was also robbed, and they also suffered difficulties for a while.

Li Da had a dark face, "Wait for that boy Wang Hu to come back and see what Yunshui City has to say." Now he can only pin his hopes on the government in Yunshui City. Well, even if it is reported to the imperial court, it will take ten days or eight days to go back and forth, and the waiting time can starve people to death.

Su Ying returned to Xiao Jin and the others, and Mother Zhao stepped forward nervously and asked, "Is Madam not injured?"

Su Ying shook her head, those people couldn't hurt her, but there were too many people in the hall, and she couldn't use it well.

"I'm fine. Mother Zhao doesn't have to worry. She may stay here for a while. The dry food in the hands of the officials has been robbed. These prisoners will definitely make trouble if they don't eat. Let's be careful and play it by ear."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After dawn, Wang Hu who went to Yunshui City came back, but he brought back bad news.

He saw the official of Yunshui City, but the official said that they had already replenished the supplies, and there was nothing more to give them, and let them figure out their own way.

"Boss, what should we do? We can't wait here all the time, we can wait, but will the prisoners be obedient?" Originally, there were not many people on the official post, but now a few more died, and the prisoners really wanted to rebel. They are not rivals at all.

The most important thing now is where to find something to eat and get through these days.

In the next two days, Li Da boiled the remaining dry food into porridge water in a large pot, and distributed a little to each person, but after eating this, there was nothing left.

In the past two days, the rain has not been so heavy. It was sunny early this morning. Li Da wanted to go to the Wujiang Wharf, because yesterday he sent an official to Yunshui City to come back and say that there is a boat at the Wujiang Wharf. .

As long as they can cross the river, they can survive.

"Get up, get up for me, get ready to go." Li Da waved his whip and yelled at the prisoners.

Su Ying and the others have already packed their things and got up.

The prisoners didn’t have enough to eat before, and they’re getting even hungrier these two days, so they don’t have much energy right now.

Those who were lying still on the ground were whipped violently by officials. Some could get up, but some could not get up again.

"Officer, please don't fight, we really can't stand up... If we fight again, we will kill people."

An old woman in ragged clothes knelt on the ground and begged the official, but the official kicked her away and beat a young man on the ground with a whip.

Xiao Jin glanced at the old woman, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Jiang Yang, bring those mother and child over."

Jiang Yang walked up to the officer and grabbed the whip in his hand. The officer raised his head angrily, "Are you looking for death?"

Jiang Yang said with a cold face: "I haven't eaten for so many days, and my body has long been unable to bear the wind and rain. Even if you kill him, he won't be able to get up. If you irritate the rest of the people, it won't be good. fruit to eat."

The officer knew that what he said was right, and after giving him a cold look, he stopped and walked back.

The old woman knelt down in front of Jiang Yang and kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor."

Jiang Yang squatted down to check the man's condition, and found that his body was terribly hot. He had a fever, but he didn't know what caused it.

Xiao Jin took action to save people, which made Su Ying a little surprised. He is not a person who has a compassionate heart casually.

Xiao Jin didn't move his eyebrows, he just said indifferently: "You don't want to form a team. These people have received your favor, even if they don't follow you wholeheartedly, they will be scruples."

Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin was not telling the truth, but he would not be stupid enough to let dangerous people follow them, so when Jiang Yang carried the young man back, she still stepped forward to check his situation.

The young man has no other scars except the trauma of being whipped by the officials just now. The fever should be a cold and fever caused by too much rain.

Su Ying took out the fever-reducing medicine from the bag and handed it to the old woman, "This medicine can cure your son's illness. If you trust us, let him take it."

Jiang Yang saved his son, now that Su Ying gave them back the medicine, the old woman didn't believe the truth, they were already like this, so what else could people plot.

"Thank you Madam, thank you very much." The old woman took the broken bowl that Bai Shuang handed her, and let the young man drink the water and medicine inside.

Because the young man was already burned unconscious, Su Ying could only let him go to the carriage, with Xiao Jin watching in the carriage, nothing would happen.

Before departure, the old lady thanked them a thousand times. Su Ying could see that she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

After leaving the ruined temple, Li Da led the team towards the mountain, presumably wanting to go to the mountain to see if he could find something to eat.

On the road, victims fleeing famine can be seen everywhere. Seeing so many of them coming from the direction of Yunshui City, the eyes of those victims gradually dimmed with a hint of hope.

They were going to Yunshui City to escape disaster, but these people wanted to go in the opposite direction. Did it mean that Yunshui City couldn't give them a chance of life at all.

Some doubtful people stopped to look at them, not knowing whether to move on or what to do.

When Su Ying and the others reached the foot of the mountain, they found that there were disaster victims on the mountain and below. They searched the mountain like a carpet, probably looking for food, and even the leaves of edible wild vegetables on the side of the mountain were all gone.

Seeing such a scene, Li Da was heartbroken. It seemed that it was difficult for them to find food in the mountains.

But the sky is getting dark, so I can only find a place to stay first.

"You guys go pick some people out and follow me to the mountains to see if you can find something to eat." At this time, he was about to starve to death, and he no longer cared about whether there would be any prisoners. escaped.

"yes."

Su Ying pulled the carriage under a big tree and tied it up. As soon as she walked over, she clearly felt countless pairs of eyes falling on her body, and her hand holding the rein tightened.
