661. The Mountain People
Qi Xiaobai and the jack walked over, and when they walked over, they saw that it was a large courtyard with children and women in it.
The women were stunned when they saw Qi Xiaobai and the jack, and then a woman stood up, looked at Qi Xiaobai and the jack and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"We are ......" The jack wanted to say something, Qi Xiaobai stopped the jack and said: "We are evacuees, passing by here, we want to rest for a while!" ”
The woman nodded, and she didn't doubt Qi Xiaobai's words, because Qi Xiaobai and the jack were all in tatters, and their faces were dusty, and they did look like people who had taken refuge.
In these years, the princes competed for hegemony, and the war was chaotic, and it was not uncommon to meet refugees, so it can be said that they met many refugees.
"Who are you?" The woman looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.
When the jack just wanted to talk about the people of Qi Guo, Qi Xiaobai stopped: "We are the people of Song Land!" ”
The reason why Qi Xiaobai said this is because this place belongs to the Song Land, and if it is said that it is a Qi person, it may cause the other party's disgust.
"Oh!" The woman just nodded flatly.
Qi Xiaobai looked around and found that there were only children and women, not a man, and then he looked at the woman and asked, "Is there no man here?" ”
Qi Xiaobai's heart was full of doubts, it stands to reason that there should be a man in the family.
The woman sighed: "All the conscripts have been taken away, and now only us and the old fathers are left!" ”
"Old fathers?" Qi Xiaobai was stunned and looked at the woman.
"Father, they went to the mountains to farm, and they won't be back until the evening!" The woman replied to Qi Xiaobai's words.
"You wait for me, I'll pour you a glass of water!" The woman said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai nodded, and after a while, the woman brought two glasses of water and handed them to Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai took it and asked, "Conscription?" Where's the conscription? ”
Qi Xiaobai was curious about what kind of conscription it was, the Song State was supposed to be the territory of the Qi State, but the Qi State marched into Luoyang, and it was completely the assembled Yanzhou Army.
"General Qi 'Tian Heng' conscription!"
"After King Qi Huan experienced a great defeat in Luoyang, there was a rebellion in Jixi, and the coalition army soon entered the Song land, and the big merchants before the Song land stood up and united with the coalition army, and the death of the Song Duke caused the anger of our ordinary people, and there were several celebrities who called on the local people to resist the coalition army."
"And at this time, the State of Qi also began to gather soldiers in the Song Land and mobilize Yanzhou to fortify!" The woman said to Qi Xiaobai.
"You are from Song, you should know this, right?" The woman looked at Qi Xiaobai, and had some doubts in her heart, he was from Song, he should know these things, how could he seem to have no idea at all.
Qi Xiaobai has just been running away in the mountains these days, how does he know what happened? After the defeat of the Battle of Luoyang, he entered the mountains, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, he thought to himself, I don't know if this Guan Zhong and Tian Dan have safely escaped the pursuit of the coalition army.
"I know this, we are from Songcheng, the coalition army burned and looted in Songcheng, we fled to this place because we took refuge, and we are ready to go to Qidi Yanzhou!" Qi Xiaobai said to the woman.
"You're going to Yanzhou?" The woman was stunned when she heard Qi Xiaobai's words, and then looked at Qi Xiaobai with both eyes.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "For now, it's safe to go all the way east!" ”
"Well, we are actually taking refuge, originally we lived in Qiu City, but there was a local person named Jia Quan in Qiu City who launched a riot and clashed with the local garrison Qi army, in order to avoid being implicated, we moved our family to this mountain!" The woman said to Qi Xiaobai,
Qi Xiaobai looked at this house, it was indeed like a thatched house that had just been built not long ago.
Think about it, how can there be a family in this barren mountain?
"How many people are in your family?" Qi Xiaobai pulled it up and said homeily.
"There are eight people, but there are only five old people!" The woman said to Qi Xiaobai.
"By the way, we have a little sister in our family, who looks very smart, or you will get married here, right?" The woman suddenly said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai was stunned, he was a little confused, how could he introduce his wife without saying a word?
"I see that your young man is good-looking, and we really need young men here!" The woman said to Qi Xiaobai.
Think about it, it is also to survive in this barren mountain, how can there be no man? After all, there are only a few old people here, but you can't always rely on the old people for farming, right? After all, the old man will not be able to move in a few years.
"We don't plan to live here for a long time, I'm afraid it's ......" Qi Xiaobai wanted to refuse the woman.
But the woman snorted: "You kid, don't know what to do!" The woman's words were a little angry, and the jack behind her immediately moved forward, and Qi Xiaobai immediately stretched out his hand to stop the jack.
"Do you look at my frail and sickly appearance, like I can do farm work for you?" Qi Xiaobai said with a smile.
At a glance, Qi Xiaobai is indeed sick, compared with the prime of life in this era, it is a weak chicken that cannot be weak.
"It's okay to do some farm work, don't you want to get a wife? I'm saying that this little sister in my family is still very good-looking! ”
After the woman finished speaking, she shouted to a woman next to her: "Mu Zhen, call the little sister out and let her see how this man is!" ”
A woman who was weaving cloth nodded after hearing the woman's words: "Okay, big sister! ”
After a while, this woman named Mu Zhen led a woman dressed in white, the woman was dressed very simple, and her face was quite delicate, and she was also a beauty.
But Qi Xiaobai, who is the monarch of Qi State, Qi Xiaobai can be said to have seen many beauties, if you want to evaluate this woman, it is average, but it is attractive, delicate, and has a feeling of sister next door.
"How's it going, my little sister is good, isn't it?" The woman looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.
The girl glanced at Qi Xiaobai and lowered her head, while Qi Xiaobai took a deep breath: "We can't live here all the time, I'm afraid we will live up to your heart!" ”
Qi Xiaobai really can't be here all the time, he still needs to return to Yingqiu and accept the stall of Qi State, he still wants revenge, and he has to wash away the shame that Luoyang lost.
"Hmph, boy, I think you don't know what to do, isn't my sister beautiful?" The woman snorted coldly.
Qi Xiaobai shook his head: "No, the girl is very delicate and beautiful, but I don't want to let the girl down!" ”
"Sister Qing, she doesn't want to, forget it!" The girl shouted which eldest sister said.
At this time, it was night, and five old men walked into the courtyard with hoes, and then an old man looked at the woman: "Liu Qing, what are you doing?" Is the meal ready? ”
"Dad, this meal is ready, a few passers-by are here, I don't want him to marry my little sister and stay here!" Liu Qing looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
