Crossing the famine, the special agent peasant girl blows up one by one

When a hint of light appeared in the dark sky, Qu Qiuning opened his eyes.

After some tidying up, Qu Qiuning left a few compressed biscuits in Qu Xinglan's room and trotted towards the town.

Under normal circumstances, it would take about an hour to reach the town by walking, but Qu Qiuning only took half an hour.

Qu Qiuning followed the memory route in the original owner's brain and entered the town. It was already dawn and there were only a few people on the street.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and there were very few customers in the open shops, making the street seem a bit deserted.

I searched several streets but didn't see any meat stalls.

Qu Qiuning walked into a cloth shop and saw the shopkeeper sweeping the dust off the cloth with a feather duster.

"Uncle shopkeeper," Qu Qiuning greeted softly.

The shopkeeper turned around and saw a delicate, small, oval face with a dark complexion.

His long hair tied up high and his clothes full of patches indicated that he was a poor person.

"Miss, do you want to buy some cloth?"

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm very confused about something. Could you tell me the reason?"

"Oh! What is it? Tell me, I will tell you if I know."

"Uncle, why are there no meat stalls on the street?"

When the shopkeeper heard about this, he frowned and sighed:

"Ah! You must be from far away, girl! You don't know that there has been no meat for sale on the street for half a year.

Even if there was a little bit, it was bought away by the wealthy families in the town at a high price!

Fifty coins per pound, how can ordinary people afford it? "

The shopkeeper looked at Qu Qiuning with a puzzled look.

"Girl, do you want to buy meat?"

Qu Qiuning shook his head: "No, I'm just a little curious!"

The shopkeeper had a worried look on his face. "Alas! It's a time of war and chaos, and it's also a famine. If you don't have anything important to do, don't go out.

I plan to close the shop in a few days and go back to my hometown in the north to take shelter."

Qu Qiuning thanked the shopkeeper and left.

Following the direction of the wealthy family on the east side of the town that the shopkeeper had mentioned, I made many detours and chose a family that looked relatively wealthy and went around to the back door.

Qu Qiuning got the wild boar out of the space and knocked on the back door of the house.

The person who came was a tall and thin man with a mustache. He claimed to be the butler and was accompanied by two young men dressed as servants.

When the housekeeper learned that Qu Qiuning came to sell wild boar meat and saw that the blood on the wild boar's neck had not yet dried, he was very happy.

After some bargaining, he finally bought the whole wild boar for fifty cents per catty.

Qu Qiuning put seventeen taels of silver into the space.

If she wanted to return to the shopkeeper's place, she would have to buy two sets of spare underwear for herself and Qu Xinglan.

But just after walking two streets, I saw a group of people watching the fun gathered outside the luxurious gate of a wealthy family.

From the crowd, screams of "Ah! Ah!" could be heard from time to time as a woman was beaten.

"Madam, please, don't chase me away."

Qu Qiuning approached and saw a girl about thirteen years old holding tightly onto the calf of a noble lady. The lady had a pretty face but a cold expression.

"Madam, please don't chase me away. I will be fine. Please don't chase me away."

The lady rolled her eyes and replied:

"Humph! The master said, she's just a maid, just throw her out!

Besides, you've been ill for a long time! You should get out of here as soon as possible, and don't die here and pollute this place.

The lady glanced at the servant standing next to her.

"What a bunch of rubbish! Throw her away from here."

The servants nearby received the order and two of them grabbed the girl and dragged her out.

"Madam, please don't chase me away."

The girl was being dragged, still struggling and crying, accompanied by bursts of coughing.

The servant left the girl far away from the gate. The girl had blood at the corner of her mouth and she crawled back crying.

When she saw her lady and a group of servants walk into the yard and close the gate, the girl burst into tears and kept sobbing and coughing.

When the onlookers saw the girl coughing, they fled in panic. In ancient times, coughing was a disease that everyone avoided.

Only Qu Qiuning stood not far away, looking at the girl silently.

The girl slowly raised her head and inadvertently met Qu Lin's eyes.

At this glance, the girl's facial expression changed from shock to loss in an instant.

When Qu Qiuning looked at the girl, he had a sense of déjà vu.

When Qu Qiuning turned around and prepared to leave, she heard the girl behind her shouting, "Sister,"

Qu Qiuning took back his steps and quickly searched his brain for information about the girl.

Seeing that her sister was unmoved, the girl stood up and walked unsteadily behind Qu Qiuning.

"Sister, I'm Qu Xiang, don't you recognize me?"

The girl asked pitifully with tears in her eyes.

Qu Qiuning turned around and looked at the girl in front of him expressionlessly. Haha, she turned out to be the original owner's sister.

Just now, scenes about Qu Xiang emerged in my mind.

Five years ago, this younger sister, despite her mother's crying and opposition, took the initiative to ask her grandmother to sell her to a wealthy family as a maid.

I haven't been home for five years, and I didn't even go back to see my mother when she died.

Qu Qiuning said calmly: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Qu Qiuning turned around and strode away.

Since they have different ideas, Qu Qiuning doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Qu Xiang was stunned. She didn't recognize the wrong person! His face was still as dark as before.

Why did she leave like this? Shouldn't I take her back?

Is this still the sister who loved me before?

Qu Qiuning came to the rice shop and bought 20 kilograms of rice and flour each. Rice was very expensive during the famine, and the price of rice and flour was 30 cents per kilogram.

Qu Qiuning went to the clothing store again and bought two sets of underwear for herself and Qu Xinglan.

He also bought a set of men's inner and outer clothes from the shopkeeper.

Qu Qiuning carried rice and flour, with a bundle hanging on his wrist, and rushed out of the town.

Not far out of the town, Qu Qiuning noticed someone following her silently, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.

Occasionally, coughing sounds were heard from far behind her, and Qu Qiuning understood. Who else could it be but her sister?

Qu Qiuning pretended not to know and continued walking forward. As for his sister, she had to walk the path she had chosen herself.

Just like this, one walked in front and the other followed silently behind.

An hour later, Qu Qiuning arrived at Gujia Village.

From a distance, I could see the thatched house whose roof seemed about to be blown off by the wind.

Qu Qiuning was startled to see that her yard was surrounded by people.

Qu Qiuning secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong and rushed towards his home.

I pushed through the crowd and rushed in to take a look. Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed to my head.

Seeing Qu Xinglan being grabbed by Qu Tianchen's arm, Qu Tianchen kicked Fatty in the stomach as she pounced on him.

Fatty stepped back and fell to the ground.

"You are going too far. You took advantage of Sister Qiu Ning's absence to come here and bully the weak. You are worse than beasts."

Pang Ya got up and started cursing. She was really fed up with this family. She didn't know why her grandfather had taken in the Qu family in the village.

If she hadn't accidentally fallen into the water when she was a child and been rescued by Sister Qiu Ning, the weeds on her grave would be three meters high by now.

A man dressed as a scholar was kicking the unconscious man lying on the ground.

He kicked hard and cursed loudly:

"I'll kick you to death, you wild man. I'll kick you to death, I'll kick you to death..."

Fatty yelled, "Stop it, stop it."

The man on the ground was the bearded man who was treated last night. Blood was oozing from the bandage on his right leg.

Qu Qiuning threw the bag on the ground, took a run-up and kicked the scholar in the chest.

The scholar took a few steps back and fell to the ground. Qu Qiuning walked over, grabbed the scholar by the collar and lifted him up.

He held the scholar's shoulders with both hands, bent his legs, pushed his knees hard on the scholar's stomach, and then punched the scholar in the face.

The scholar fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, along with two bloody teeth.
