Escape from famine at the beginning: I use space to raise three cute babies
Chapter 81: Caught
Seeing the villagers getting better day by day, Xiang Jiuling and Dabao, who had been busy for several days, couldn't help but look at each other and both showed smiles of relief.
"Mom, great, the medicine we studied worked!" Dabao pulled Xiang Jiuling excitedly, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
"Yeah, great!"
The mother and son worked together to solve the biggest difficulty, and finally rested contentedly for a day. They slept for a whole day and a night, and Wen Xi and others were considerate and did not disturb them.
The mountain breeze is cool and cold, but the village below is steaming. The village has experienced a disaster, and the village chief specially invited eminent monks from the mountain to perform rituals to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil.
Master Gao Ci Mei Shanmu performed a ritual in the village. People in the village who were in better health gathered at the head of the village and knelt on the ground piously waiting for the master's power to help them avoid disasters.
"My Buddha is compassionate and saves all living beings, Amitabha!"
The old monk sat on the ground and muttered words, the young monk held a handful of lit incense and walked around the atrium, while the kneeling villagers around him worshiped devoutly.
Xiang Jiuling watched the smoke-filled scene from a distance.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
Dabao woke up and looked around for traces of Xiang Jiuling. He finally saw her and found that she was standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her.
"Mom, they..."
Having already recognized the true identities of the two monks, Dabao was very angry as he watched them continue to fool the innocent villagers, and wanted to reveal their true identities, but was stopped by Xiang Jiuling.
"Mom, why don't you let me go up and expose them? It's all their poison!"
Xiang Jiuling can understand Dabao's anger. Although Dabao has experienced more than his peers, he is still a child at heart and cannot find the most critical point in many things.
"Dabao, don't worry, think about it carefully. Only we know the crimes of the two of them now. If we directly accuse them without any evidence, will anyone believe them?"
In fact, Dabao also understands this truth in his heart, but many times understanding it is one thing, but doing it is another matter.
"Mom, I understand, I will listen to you no matter what we do now!"
"Now that the villagers' health has recovered, there should be no problems for the time being. Let's just wait and see what happens. There is no rush!"
Dabao nodded in agreement.
After staying for another two days, seeing nothing unusual in the village, the family decided to continue on their way after discussion. Fortunately, Wen Xi had explored almost all the surrounding areas in the past few days, so they were not without direction.
The family simply packed up their things and continued walking forward, picking wild vegetables and herbs along the way, which was quite a harvest.
When I was taking a rest at noon, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound in my ears, and the sound was very loud.
"Did you hear anything?"
Xiang Jiuling turned to look at Wen Xi beside her and frowned.
Wen Xi looked up at the gloomy sky and nodded, "I heard it!"
Before the two of them could figure out what the sound was, Xiang Jiuling turned around and saw a mass of dark things coming towards them.
It was only after he got closer that he could see clearly. Xiang Jiuling's expression changed immediately, "No, it's locusts!"
Several people looked up and saw a swarm of locusts sweeping towards them like a whirlwind. The situation looked very scary.
There are so many locusts, if they fall on people, they will feel a little chilly just thinking about it.
"Quickly take out your clothes and wrap yourself up!"
Wen Xi immediately pulled out thick clothes and wrapped them together with Sanni. Xiang Jiuling and Qin Zhenzhen followed suit, each pulling a child and wrapping them in thick clothes.
For a while, everyone couldn't see anything, and they could only hear a loud buzzing and squeaking sound coming from their ears, which took a long time to stop.
Xiang Jiuling opened his clothes and took a look. The large army of locusts had already flown forward. The place where they passed was a mess, and the flowers, plants and trees were in ruins.
This was the first time for several children to see such a scene, and they were still looking around curiously. However, Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi's expressions became more and more serious. They both knew what kind of difficulties the locusts would bring to the people.
The two of them didn't say much, and continued to move forward with their families. Along the way, they could see the traces of locust damage, and many farmers' crops were in terrible condition. Not a single piece was good, and all the farmers' hard work was ruined.
"etc!"
Wen Xi stopped suddenly, looked nervously and concentrated, and said slowly amid Xiang Jiuling's confusion, "There is a group of people approaching in our direction!"
As the family walked along, they saw only ordinary people and refugees. They didn't even see a shadow of a soldier. Suddenly they heard that a group of people were approaching, and they couldn't help but become nervous. After all, it was probably someone nearby.
of bandits.
They could still wait for a few people to react, but the rumble of horse hooves had already reached their ears, and they saw a group of people galloping towards them on horseback.
In a stunned moment, a group of dozens of people on horseback surrounded the family. They looked like soldiers wearing armor, but their outfits didn't look like them, so they were probably soldiers and bandits.
The children gathered around Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi in fear. Xiang Jiuling touched their hands to signal not to be afraid.
The leader of the group stepped forward on horseback and looked at this ordinary family. He smiled condescendingly and said, "You guys are so fast, and you still give me a good meal!"
Xiang Jiuling was stunned when she heard that this person came specifically to see them, so she turned her eyes to Wen Xi beside her, but Wen Xi just shook his head at her silently.
Seeing that the other party knew her family, but she had no clue about them, Xiang Jiuling could only smile and test, "Master, our family is just ordinary people fleeing famine. Have you found the wrong person?"
"Looking for the wrong person?" The man laughed loudly, staring straight at Xiang Jiuling with a pair of sharp eyes, "Yes, I am looking for you!"
Seeing that the other person was about to catch them, Xiang Jiuling quietly took out a steel needle from his sleeve, and when the person wasn't paying attention, he shot it hard at the horse.
A neighing sound was heard, and the horse leading the man suddenly ran out of control, and in a blink of an eye the circle of people was dispersed. The man quickly pulled the reins hard, and clamped the horse's belly with both feet, but the horse still refused.
Obediently bumping into each other, as if possessed by a demon.
Xiang Jiuling was about to take advantage of the chaos, but was held down by Wen Xi beside her, who also gave her a calm look.
Sure enough, there were more than a dozen people on horseback coming from behind, and they seemed to be in the same group as them. Fortunately, she didn't take action just now, otherwise how could the two of them deal with so many people?
Now the family had no choice but to be captured and were taken to the nearest town by a group of people. It seemed that this place had become a den of thieves.
