Chapter 174 We are not fat, we are round and cute
Moreover, they had only been bandits for about ten days. Not to mention going hungry for nine meals in three days, they had to go hungry for at least seven meals!
After all, the refugees coming and going were just refugees after all. How could there be too much food if they were refugees? As for the indigenous residents here, they didn't dare to rob for fear of retaliation!
After all, to the villagers here, they are outsiders.
"Is this true? You've been hungry for seven meals in three days? Then why are you still so fat? You're short and fat, worse than a pig!" The villagers looked at the short and fat man who had said that they were like fat pigs, and attacked him personally as if to vent their anger.
The short and fat man's face turned completely red in an instant, but because his weather-beaten face had not been washed for a long time, it looked like a black coal ball and no other color could be seen at all.
"I, I, I am born with this figure. My father and grandfather are both like this. Even if they starve to death, I will still have this figure. This is really not what I eat. We are telling the truth." The short and fat man hastened to assure, his mouth stammering in anxiety.
But the villagers didn't buy it. He could say they were fat sheep, but he couldn't say they were as fat as pigs. Especially the women in the village who loved beauty, this was simply a naked insult to them.
"Hmph, I don't believe it. You must be eating too much. How can you be so fat if you don't eat good food? Didn't you just say that we all eat as much as pigs?" Chen Zhaodi, who had obviously gained weight, glanced at him with contempt. "Why don't you look at yourself? How dare you say that about us?"
Song Hua was also as fuming as the pufferfish, her face flushed red with anger. "Aunt Chen is right, you look like a fat pig, not us. Even though we eat a lot, we are round and cute, unlike you, who are hideously ugly!"
Because of the food, the little girl has become fat like a balloon recently. She is round and plump with baby fat. Her already pretty face is even whiter with a hint of red, and she looks smart and cute.
Originally, she was quite satisfied with her current image, but after hearing this person say that she was as fat as a pig, her face changed color and she has been holding her anger in until now.
The short and fat man was completely stunned when he saw the little girl jumping up and down and cursing at him. Did these people miss the point? He had robbed them, and instead of holding them accountable, they were actually blaming him for something he had said!
"Why aren't you talking? Am I wrong? Are we fat? We're not fat at all. Okay, I'm telling you again, you have to be polite. We're cute and plump, so please be careful with your words from now on, lest your mouth bring you any disaster!"
Song Hua is very talkative, and she keeps venting her dissatisfaction with her little mouth. No one cares about her and lets her vent as much as she wants, because this little girl is their mouthpiece!
The short and fat man finally figured it out now. This group of people didn't particularly care about him robbing them. After all, they couldn't beat them. This group of people really cared about what he said!
The short and fat man was very flexible. He was originally half lying on the ground, but he quickly changed to kneeling on the ground, with his head resting on his hands, and his hands on the ground. "My dear gentlemen, beautiful ladies, please be magnanimous. It's my fault. I can't speak. Please consider that I am so sensible and let us go. I apologize to you all.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! We were also forced to do this. We didn't hurt anyone, we just stole some food, but we didn't take much, otherwise we wouldn't have been starving seven times in three days. Please let us go."
At this moment, he didn't care about his face in front of his brothers. Everyone's life was at stake!
The others followed suit and began to beg for mercy like the short and fat man.
The little girl saw them suddenly kneel down and kowtow for mercy, and she quickly hid backwards, but she didn't feel much in her heart. After all, there were many people begging them for alms along the way, some kowtowed, some knelt for a long time, some sold themselves, some recounted their miserable life stories, and some even hurt themselves in front of them if they didn't give them anything. Which one of them was not more cruel than them?
But with their previous experience, they would not give alms to anyone, no matter how pitiful they were, because this group of people were like leeches, and as long as they saw blood, they would pounce on them regardless of everything.
Qin Qingyun stepped forward and looked at the hands of these people one by one. They were indeed the hands of farmers, not those holding knives.
Seeing the undisguised fear in their eyes, some of them even trembling uncontrollably, he nodded to the person behind him.
Everyone immediately understood that what these people said was true.
"I believe what you say. Let me ask you one more question: where are the bandits who killed and robbed you?"
Those bandits have committed many evil deeds and would be a nuisance if they were kept alive. If it were their turn, they would definitely wipe out this bandit den.
But to their regret, this bandit's nest was not on their route. If they wanted to eliminate this gang of bandits, they would have to take a detour, and it would take a long time to go back and forth, so this idea was temporarily abandoned.
However, Situ Nanyao remembered this matter and planned to go back to his father and ask him to secretly send troops to suppress the bandits!
But his idea was good, and Qin Wanwan's idea was even better, even better than his, and this idea also involved him!
In the end, the people of Daqin Village let these people go, returned their weapons to them, and told them that they would reach the town in one day. Outside the town, the county magistrate would be giving out porridge, and if they wanted to leave, they would also be given food and water, but each person could only receive it once.
The twenty or so people were overjoyed. They didn't expect that they could escape the disaster, and they didn't expect that the county magistrate would give out porridge. This was really God's will.
About twenty people walked happily to the back, but the people in Daqin Village couldn't say how they felt.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad. They were happy that there were not so many cruel people in the world. They were sad that they hadn't robbed bandits for a long time and their hands were itching to rob. They were even more sad that the group of vicious bandits were too far away from them and they couldn't get rid of them personally.
However, the people in Daqin Village did not have time to think so much. What they had to do now was to hurry on their way and then find a suitable place to set up camp and rest!
When the sun rose, they finally found a suitable place, a forest. Compared with the previous forests, this forest was greener and there were even some wild vegetables around.
They did not encounter any other refugees on this path. The further they went, the fewer refugees there were. It was completely different from before. The people in a village felt particularly comfortable staying alone in one place. They did not have to be on guard against others all the time, and they could eat with more confidence.
At this time, every household has started to make fire and cook. Every household has fried meat, and the quantity is quite large. There is no longer the feeling of having to eat a piece of pork for half a year.
"It's delicious!"
