The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 52 Walking on the same road

Yan Laoer said calmly: "Then, the old man is still a very good official."

Yan Huaiwen snorted coldly: "I have softened my heart, but I am also afraid of taking responsibility. I count on the superior to be considerate in everything, and I will not fight for it in every possible way. Above, he is incompetent in governing the subordinate, and under the subordinate, he has no achievements. Such an official is considered good." ?"

"At least he acquiesced in tax deferral for those squires." Yan Laoer thought this was good.

"If the imperial court wants to be serious, he is fine as an elder, but those country gentry cannot escape the responsibility."

Yan Laoer pondered for a while, this is the reason!

"These sticklers believe that doing nothing is good, and they don't want to go too far.

He behaves peacefully and peacefully, and has no major mistakes. As an official, he looks like he comes and leaves. The common people call this kind of official a clay bodhisattva. "

Yan Er was curious: "What do you mean?"

"It's good to worship and make offerings on weekdays. It's really useless to pray for it. It's hard to protect itself."

Second Yan: ...

Common people's evaluation is good and the image is interesting.

Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but think of all kinds of officials, all kinds of life are among them.

Are people bad? not necessarily.

These people are kind-hearted, compassionate, empathetic, seeing the suffering of the people, and some even shed tears.

The question is all over the body, the left sentence is incompetent, and the right sentence is shameful.

You don't even know what to do with them.

If the demerit is not enough to be dismissed, one has to become an official, but such an official is always a vegetarian meal wherever he is placed.

Sometimes he thinks these mediocre people are more hateful than those corrupt people.

The latter will bother to do face-saving projects, while the former is left with nothing but incompetence...

"I have made an agreement with the village elders to leave this place as soon as possible, and be alert if you encounter disaster victims on the way."

Yan Huaiwen knew that the people who had just walked out carried some rations on them, so it was not considered dangerous.

"Travel until Haishi today, and start on the road at Yinshi two quarters tomorrow. God bless, don't run out these days."

Yan Er Er agreed.

Count the number of people, and a group of people set off.

As usual, the bullock carts of the Yan family were in the front, the elderly, children and women gathered in the middle, and the strong men of the village walked around the team.

This section of road, Yan Laoer and Sanbao have repeatedly confirmed that it is a section of road that overlaps with the official road.

Originally, they planned to follow Yan Huaiwen's method, bypassing the station when they encountered it, and then turning back to the official road.

Now that there is a large army to cover, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Walk directly on the official road.

They, who are used to walking on small roads, suddenly turned to the official road, and immediately felt like they were walking like flying.

One after another, I met people fleeing famine, most of them were traveling on the same road, and I have never seen so many people like them.

The bullock carts on the second floor of Yan's house are extremely conspicuous. Looking at it, there are several mule carts and donkey carts outside.

When Santie came back, he told everyone about the situation in that town, and everyone was still in fear.

If they hadn't come out early with Mr. Xiucai, after they had paid the food tax, the remaining food might not be enough to get here.

I am used to walking on the mountain and country roads, and the villagers are not used to meeting so many people suddenly, especially these people are always staring at them, and they always try to talk to them.

What village are you from? Why haven't I seen you?

Also ask where do you want to go? This road is not going to Fucheng, do you also go to Leshan Mansion?

We are going to visit relatives in Leshan Prefecture, how about you?

The village elders specifically told them to keep their mouths shut. If they didn't know what to say or not to say, they didn't say anything.

Fortunately, they walked fast, and they hesitated to say a few words, so they were left behind.

Even if the people behind ran and bumped, they couldn't catch up with them.

After passing group after group of people, they finally saw the station again.

The front and rear of the post station were all occupied by ordinary people fleeing from famine, leaving only a smooth official road.

Looking at the sky, they should be resting.

Yan Laoer drove through, and the people on both sides saw his strange ox cart a long time ago. They thought they would stop and stay near the post station, but unexpectedly, this group of people went straight past...

When the chasers arrived at the station panting, they asked, "My fellow, have you seen a double-decker ox cart team? Where are they?"

"I left a long time ago, and they didn't stop at all. What's wrong? Did you know each other?" Why didn't we wait for the meeting.

"I just ran into them on the road. I saw that they were a lot of people, old and young. I wanted to go with them on the road together. I didn't want them to go so fast. My donkey cart couldn't catch up."

"Looking at the family, there is no shortage of people or food. Look at that strong guy, he is so strong. It is normal to be impatient and take people away. If you want to take advantage of this, there are many people there. Have you seen that, that, that, still Over there, everyone packed up their things and prepared to catch up."

"Why do you want to go with me?"

...

After Yan Huaiwen chatted with the group of people who were catching up, he agreed with them to follow behind the team, but the point was that they were all peasants, and they walked fast, so they would follow if they could.

"Mr. Xiucai, why do you want to bring them?" Village head Luo and the village elders came to ask: "It's not that you should be careful, don't tell people what's going on with us."

"My brother said, we always hide for fear of being suspicious. Anyway, they only went to Leshan Mansion, and they won't be on the same road with us for long." Yan Laoer and the big guy explained: "The front is almost all official roads. With these people walking, It can also give us cover."

"But I'm afraid that there will be more and more people." Old man Luo is experienced. People fleeing from famine tend to gather together, and that person is black and white. When there are too many people, it is easy to cause trouble.

"If it's really bad, we'll run down the path, and they won't be able to catch up with us." Yan Er was complacent.

Yan Huaiwen glanced at him and said to everyone: "The situation in Leshan Mansion is unknown. Most of these people are visiting relatives. We can also take this opportunity to find out some information."

In fact, this year, not only Qishan Mansion, but also Leshan Mansion reported disasters, but it was not so conspicuous against the backdrop of Qishan Mansion.

He clearly remembered that in the memorial to Leshan Mansion, there were not only droughts, but also bandits.

The two prefectures are adjacent to each other, and both have the word mountain. Qishan prefecture has many plains and few real mountains. Leshan prefecture is just the opposite, with many continuous mountains.

According to his second brother's thinking, he wanted to take a shortcut from the mountains, but it was not safe to take the official route.

...

Just as Village Chief Luo was worried about, starting with a few more tails behind, the number of people following behind the team increased day by day.

No matter how fast their footsteps were, these people gritted their teeth and followed, even if they changed to walking for eight hours a day, it would only lengthen the huge fleeing team.

In the dead of night, when everyone is most nervous.

You will hear various voices from afar, men cursing, women screaming, and children screaming...

I don't know from which day these voices will stop abruptly as soon as they start.

It was as if someone had strangled her throat, it was indescribably weird.

The atmosphere of the fleeing team also became more and more dignified.

Together with the scorching sun and the suffocating high temperature, people can't breathe.
