Quick Travel: After the European Emperor can sign in

Chapter 134 The parents on the road to escape 32

Yuan Xi carefully looked at the villagers in Lijia Village. At a glance, he saw that they were all in tatters, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles. Their hair was withered and yellow like overgrown weeds and had not been taken care of. Their eyes were numb, and some of their lips were chapped and oozing with red blood.

This is the pure image of a refugee. Yuan Xi thought of the people in Zhangjia Village behind him. Life was getting better and better. If they hadn't been homeless and constantly on the road, everyone might have gained a few kilograms. It wouldn't look like they were fleeing the famine. of.

When the clan leader heard the explanation from the village chief of Lijia Village, he knew that he had misunderstood and caused such a big fight.

In a rare moment of understanding, Yuan Xi gave the clan leader a step down, "Chief, since the matter has been clarified and Lijia Village is willing to give way, let's let our village pass first. It's getting late. Try to get to Pingyang Fucheng today. ."

"Yes, it's really late now. We have to hurry up." The patriarch walked down the steps Yuan Xidi led.

"Clan leader, you take the people away first. I'll be here with the security team to watch them."

Yuan Xi stayed to guard the people on the other side and ensured that Zhangjiacun's team passed safely. Isn't it a fool to believe whatever someone they just met said? What if the people from Lijiacun took advantage of Zhangjiacun's team to pass by half of them, then started to sneak attack, grab things and run away, he would be able to chase them back one by one. When the time comes, it will really capsize in the gutter and make me laugh to death.

Being on guard against others, the clan leader nodded, got on his ox cart, and began to lead the team forward slowly.

Yuan Xi led about a hundred people from the security team to block the fork in the road leading back from Lijia Village. People in Lijia Village had to pass through their human wall if they wanted to get there.

The head of Lijiacun, who was so wary, didn't want to say anything. It's normal to be wary. We are all strangers who meet by chance. How can you expect others to trust you as soon as they meet? He has never seen such a fool in his entire life. Met.

Looking at the donkey carts, ox carts and horse carriages on the opposite side, damn, they are so rich! The head of Lijia Village shed tears of envy in his heart. Counting in detail, one ox cart and two donkey carts in my village are gone.

Soon he comforted himself in his heart: It's okay. Although his village is poor, it has its benefits. No one will rob us. Thinking of this, he straightened his back again, feeling inexplicably proud, and looked at Yuan Xi calmly.

It doesn't matter if the opponent is powerful, I'm afraid they don't dare to rob their own village, it won't kill them.

Yuan Xi didn't know that the little old man opposite him had so much inner drama. He saw that the little old man who was still a little scared suddenly became much calmer and dared to look directly at him.

Who did you borrow the courage from? Inexplicably, his courage increased, and there was a proud look on his face.

It's completely off the mark. How can their villagers be so proud?

He must have seen it wrong. Yuan Xi took another uncertain look and finally came to the conclusion that the little old man was really thick-skinned.

Village Chief Li, who was getting more courageous, started to chat with Yuan Xi, "Young man, your village belongs to Pingyang Prefecture. Looking at the energetic people, they must have just started to escape."

As he got closer, he sniffed and said with a bit of envy in his tone, "The locals are so good. Our village is the junction of Shangyuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture. It's not easy to walk all the way. Alas."

The junction of Shangyuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture. Isn't that very close? Isn’t it easy to go on the road for only seven or eight days? This is Versailles for him.

They Zhangjiacun walked through most of Xiyuan Mansion and then came to Pingyang Mansion. What did he say.

Yuan Xi felt a little angry, with a spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "Village Chief Li is joking, we are from Xiyuan Prefecture."

"Xiyuan Mansion?" Village Chief Li thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Oh, is it possible that your village is at the junction of Xiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion?"

"No wonder we met. It's such a fate."

Yuan Xi smiled and said nothing.

When he acquiesced, Village Chief Li said with emotion, "It's getting hotter day by day, the water level in the village is dropping little by little, and the nobles from Shangyuan Mansion are passing by our village one after another. When I think about it, even those big shots have run away, so why not He slapped his head and led the whole village to run with those big shots."

He stroked his beard and laughed twice, "Fortunately I left early, otherwise there would have been natural disasters and man-made disasters along the way, and my life would have been miserable."

"We are almost reaching Pingyang Fucheng. The water has become less and less these days, and the rivers have dried up. Alas."

Village Chief Li rolled his eyes and said, "I wonder if your village can find any water source on the road? I see that your clothes are quite clean, as if they have just been washed."

There was a faint scent of soap on the clothes. Village Chief Li got closer and sniffed. He could smell it very clearly. It was definitely just washed yesterday.

When Yuan Xi heard this, he looked at him a little surprised and said, "It turns out that he came here for this, and he had a lot of thoughts."

Thinking that the water source would be gone the day after tomorrow, he didn't mind helping them.

The main reason is that I don't want them to follow Zhangjiacun. People don't have reason when they are dying of thirst. It would be annoying if the people in Lijiacun were attracted by moths, so it would be better for the two sides to separate.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi pretended to be proud and said with a smile: "It's all good luck."

Village Chief Li's eyes lit up, "Little brother, can you reveal the location to us? The entire Li family village would be grateful."

"Because our two villages are destined to be together, you made way for us again today, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"You follow the way we came, go straight for a mile, turn left, and you will see a village. It is an empty village, but there is still water in the well in the village."

"So close, really..." Village Chief Li suddenly burst into tears, "My benefactor, I cannot repay you for your great kindness."

Lijiacun couldn't hold it any longer, otherwise he wouldn't have seen someone drinking water with his eyes turning green. To be honest, his eyes were a little green at the time.

He thought that a simple thank you could not express the gratitude of their village. "If the benefactor leaves his name, we will definitely offer your longevity tablet to every household."

As he spoke, he also organized the villagers behind who were crying with joy to kneel down and kowtow in thanks.

When they knelt down, Yuan Xi ducked and hid behind the rest of the security team. It’s okay to offer longevity tablets, but there’s no need to kneel down and kowtow.

After the Zhangjiacun team passed by, Yuan Xi and others followed, and they headed towards Fucheng.

After village chief Li led the villagers to watch them go away, he took the villagers to the village mentioned by their benefactor, where there was a water source that could keep them alive.

He walked in front and said to the descendants around him: "I am old and have a poor memory. You must remember the name of your benefactor. Later, you will set up a longevity plaque for your benefactor."

"Second brother, you are good at carpentry. You will carve well when the time comes. Do you understand?"

"Dad, don't worry, I will never forget it. The benefactor's name is Zhang Yuanlin. When I get to the village, I will start carving. I still have the cut wood in my hand, which is just right."

Village Chief Li was very satisfied and nodded.

Do good deeds without leaving a name, so Yuan Xi reported his brother's name.
