Chapter twenty-five encounters refugees on the road
Zhang Jiuyan's father suddenly became angry, his tone increased three points, and he said, "Of course it was handed over to your father. I am the head of the family, so the money must be kept by me."
Zhang Jiuyan’s father’s words are naturally correct in ordinary families, and they are reasonable.
Because Zhang Jiuyan had not gotten married at this time, according to the general family situation, if Zhang Jiuyan made money, the money would have to be handed over to his father for custody, so that the child would not be ignorant and spend it randomly.
But the situation at Zhang Jiuyan's family is obviously special because Zhang Jiuyan's father is good at gambling.
You said that people who gamble, can they keep money?
Zhang Jiuyan smiled bitterly and replied, "Dad, you are afraid you haven't woken up? I'll give you the money, can you keep it tomorrow?"
Zhang Jiuyan's father was furious and pointed at Zhang Jiuyan and scolded: "What did you say? I am your father. If you dare to talk to me like this, you are looking for death."
Zhang Jiuyan was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he glanced at him, put the cloth bag containing the black bread and water, pulled up the rickshaw and left.
"Stop, come back for me."
Zhang Jiuyan's father chased him far away, but Zhang Jiuyan deliberately ignored him and walked quickly. He left the village and threw him away.
Zhang Jiuyan's father went home cursing all the way. When Zhang Jiuyan's mother saw him, she said, "Now Jiuyan is so big that she can make money and plans, so you don't care about him."
Zhang Jiuyan's father lit a powder barrel and said loudly, "Big? How big? Is it bigger than mine? These are all you spoiled, your wife. I used to scold him, but did he dare to talk back?"
Zhang Jiuyan's mother knew that he had such a temper. She didn't say much, but just picked up the cloth bag alone and went to pick wild vegetables with the women in the village.
Just like yesterday, Zhang Jiuyan pulled a rickshaw towards the county town.
On the way, we met a few vendors who were also rushing to the road yesterday. They were still the same, each carrying a load and walking as fast as flying.
Because I saw him yesterday, Zhang Jiuyan nodded to them and said hello.
They also smiled and nodded, but it was just that, nothing else.
Along the way, everyone walked, and after a while, gradually, a few figures appeared in front of them, looking at the shadows, as if they were kneeling on the ground.
The vendors looked at each other, and then subconsciously narrowed their distance, as if they wanted to take care of each other and take care of each other.
When the figures approached, they saw four refugees, two men, and two children. The children were too dirty to tell whether they were boys or girls.
At this time, they were all extremely hungry and sank on the ground, dying, and unable to breathe.
When they saw a few hawkers coming, they all struggled and kept kowtowing to the hawkers, begging them to give them some food.
But the vendors all looked like they were used to it, and bypassed them and continued on their way.
Several refugees were unwilling to give up and came forward to hold them up and begged them to give them something to eat.
When one of the vendors saw that the refugees were about to come up and grabbed him, he pulled out a kitchen knife from the load with his back hand and shouted, "Get out quickly, if you don't get out, you won't have any miserables if you kill you."
Several other vendors also pulled out knives and held sticks, and helped threaten and intimidate them.
The two adult refugees were startled and dared not chase after them again, while the two young refugees were so scared that they cried.
Then the vendors left with knives and sticks in their hands.
This scene surprised Zhang Jiuyan behind him. Zhang Jiuyan did not expect that the vendors were carrying swords with them.
But soon Zhang Jiuyan felt relieved when he thought about it.
These days, the chaos during the Chongzhen period did not occur overnight. As early as the Tianqi period, some people in the west of the Jiangxi area gathered to revolt because they could not survive.
However, it was later suppressed by the court and did not cause a large-scale chain reaction.
And there are actually many such things.
It can be seen from this that the natural disaster was actually very serious during the Apocalypse period, and the people have also begun to rebel.
It was just because Emperor Tianqi was pretty good. Although he was busy working as a carpenter, Wei Zhongxian helped him watch the civil and military ministers of the court and monitored the people of the world.
Therefore, the court is still under the control of Emperor Tianqi, and the instructions issued by the court can still be implemented.
If the imperial court's instructions can be implemented, the ordinary people's righteousness will naturally not develop into disposal.
However, even though the ruling status of the court was stable, among the people, many people still couldn't survive. They left their hometowns and became refugees in helplessness.
These people walked along the way, begged all the way, and countless deaths were on the road.
Before they starve to death, they will naturally not be willing to do some robbers.
It is precisely because of this that ordinary people should be wary when going out, and it is not surprising that they hide a wooden stick, bring a kitchen knife, etc.
If the refugees really chase after him, they will kill him. Most local governments turn a blind eye and will not investigate too much.
For local governments, they don’t want to see refugees. They starve to death on the road or be killed by others. They are still eager to see them.
Zhang Jiuyan walked over hesitantly. The reason for hesitation was that Zhang Jiuyan did not carry a knife on his body.
If these refugees come up to rob them, Zhang Jiuyan will not be able to intimidate them, and then it will be difficult to end.
But perhaps it was because of the start of intimidation from the vendors that the refugees met Zhang Jiuyan.
Seeing Zhang Jiuyan's young and strong eyes, he had a light in his eyes, he didn't dare to come up. He just knelt aside and asked for help with a pitiful and miserable gaze.
The two children looked at Zhang Jiuyan pitifully at this time, hoping that Zhang Jiuyan could help them.
One of the children actually shed tears again, but he kept wiping with his ragged sleeves to prove his strength.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Jiuyan naturally felt compassion.
After stopping, Zhang Jiuyan gave them all the black buns made by his mother.
This scene made the refugees unable to believe it, and they just thought they were dreaming.
They didn't expect that their prayers would actually be exchanged for food, including steamed buns, black buns, and fragrant black buns.
The black buns that have always made Zhang Jiuyan difficult to swallow are now the most precious delicacies in the world in the eyes of these refugees.
Zhang Jiuyan didn't care about the black bread they gave them. How they would allocate them, so let them decide for themselves.
Because Zhang Jiuyan knew that the four of them must be a family, if not, then these two children would not be able to survive.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, benefactor, benefactor, benefactor will live for a hundred years."
