The Rise of a Farm Girl

The refugees who had fled the famine had all run away after grabbing the meat. The villagers hurriedly gathered together to see how much meat everyone had left.

Putting them together, it seems like there is enough for each of them to get a large piece, and save some to last them a whole day.

Everyone was very frustrated, and the villagers began to blame each other, and they turned their attention to the people who were on night watch.

How did you keep watch? If you hadn’t fallen asleep, would our meat have been lost?

These people also quit. Is it easy for them? Along the way, these men have been guarding the place in turns.

Among those on night watch were Wang Tiezhu, the son of the clan elder, and Wang Heng, a gangster in the village. No one in the village dared to mess with Wang Heng because he was good at talking and no one could beat him.

Moreover, everyone calls Wang Heng a know-it-all. He loves to listen to gossip, such as the long and short stories of the Zhang family and the Li family. If there is anything new happening in anyone's family, he will know it by ear.

The rest of the night watchmen were honest people and said nothing. Wang Tiezhu said, "If you are tired, just lie down and take a nap. We have to travel during the day and keep watch at night. You told us to take a nap, how can we not take a nap?"

You all talk while standing, and don't you feel any pain in your waist? Since you think we are not doing a good job of keeping watch, then I will not keep watch again if you women come. It's simply a thankless task.

Wang Heng went on to say, "Since I fled from the famine, I have been taking turns keeping watch at night. How can I not be sleepy?"

How can you not be tired? You walk all day and then lie down on the ground to sleep, but why don’t you think about the fact that we can only sleep for two or three hours a night?

No one spoke, only Er Laizi's mother was mumbling, "No matter how hard it is, you can't sleep! So much of our meat was taken away!"

Wang Heng rolled up his sleeves and ran towards Erlaizi's mother. He cursed as he walked, "You old woman, you are such a piece of shit. We work hard day and night, but you are worthless in our mouths."

After saying that, he walked up to Erlaizi's mother. Wang Heng was originally a gangster, so Wang Heng went up to her and started beating her.

The old woman was beaten so hard that blood started flowing from the corner of her mouth. However, she was not a good person either and she kept scratching Wang Heng's face.

The two people wrestled with each other. Although Wang Heng was a grown man, the old lady worked all year round, unlike Wang Heng, who was just a street urchin.

Soon Wang Heng was in a weak position, and his face was covered with wounds and scratches. Wang Heng also pulled out a few clumps of Mrs. Wang's hair.

The village chief was so angry that he couldn't say anything. How could they still quarrel and fight with each other when things are like this? But no one listened to him!

By the time the two men had finished their fight and made such a fuss, it was already dawn, and this time no one was angry anymore.

He chewed the meat he was given in small bites, whether it was raw or cooked. As long as there was food to eat, who cares what it was? He swallowed a few mouthfuls of the meat without a second thought, and put the rest back into his arms.

After packing up, everyone continued on their way. Along the way, everyone was in a huff and no one was willing to give in.

Anyway, everyone was angry, the night watchers were angry, and the villagers didn't care about their lives. If something was lost, they blamed them for not keeping a good lookout.

There was no one on night watch, so I blamed those who were on night watch for not watching carefully, and the meat was lost when they fell asleep.

In this way, everyone walked forward in silence. They walked for a whole day and nothing happened, but few people spoke.

Nothing happened that night, and they continued walking the next day. After walking for half a day, they arrived at a county town. Outside the county town, there were refugees and people fleeing famine, some of whom had set up tents outside the county town.

The gate of the county town was tightly closed, and there were still many officers and soldiers on the city wall, patrolling back and forth.

What is going on? There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city gate. If the refugees are not allowed in, they can only stay here. If they want to go south, they must pass through the county town.

This county is called Biannan County. After passing through Biannan County and walking for another two days, you will enter the southern territory. But the county magistrate of this county would not let you pass.

The villagers could only find a place to rest, and the village chief chose a place far away from the city gate. After all, there were too many people at the city gate.

It's strange to say that, among all the members of the Wang family, except for Wang Lao Si who died, the rest are still alive and well! Good people don't pay for their lives, but evil deeds will last for thousands of years.

Each family found a place to rest, and the village chief went to the city gate to inquire about the news. Wang Changxi also went to the city gate with his hands behind his back.

However, after inquiring around, they did not find out any useful information. The next morning, at dawn, the city gates were opened and many soldiers came out to guard the gates.

An officer shouted at the refugees that anyone who wanted to enter the county town had to pay five taels of silver. Those who didn't pay could only stay outside.

They were all villagers and didn't have much money in the village. Where could they find five taels of silver, especially five taels per person?

But there were still people who brought silver into the county town, and there were also many rich people hiding there. They disguised themselves as refugees and joined the fleeing team to avoid being robbed.

The refugees without money could only stand outside, wiping their tears. How miserable they were! Were they going to die here?

The city gate was opened for three days, and the number of people gradually decreased. There were about 7,000 people left outside the city gate. Then the city gate was closed and never opened again.

They were given some water in the first few days, but no water has been delivered since the city gates were closed.

The city gate was built between two big mountains. If you want to pass through the county town, there is only one way to go, which is to take the mountain road, but the mountain is very steep and it is not easy to climb up.

If you want to pass through the county town, you have to get silver. These two options made it difficult for everyone to make a decision. At this time, differences arose and the wealthy villagers left.

They knocked on the gate and the officers and soldiers opened the door for them as long as they showed them money.

Those who wanted to leave through the county town paid money, and some even left their children behind.

He paid five taels of silver and entered the county town, then left without paying attention to his children's cries.

The village chief's persuasion was useless. What a joke. He couldn't even take care of his own life, so why would he want a child? That's human nature. There weren't many people left in the village to begin with, and now there are only about 200 left.

Moreover, they were old, weak, women and children, which made the village chief very anxious. The village chief originally planned to lead these people to climb the mountain and pass through Biannan County.

It's not that the village chief's family didn't have money, but the village chief's son said he would never allow the village chief to stay. His father was so old, and those young and strong ones had all left through the city gate.

If he leaves these old, weak, women and children behind, his father will die in the mountains.

The village chief's sons and daughters carried the village chief to the city gate. Ignoring the village chief's objection, they dragged their father, paid the silver, and the village chief and his entire family also went in.

Wang Jingru dragged her parents to the city gate. When Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang saw their third son spending money to enter the city gate, they shouted, "Third son, you can't abandon dad!"

While Wang Laosan was hesitating, Wang Jingru had already paid 15 taels of silver and quickly dragged her parents into the gate.

Old lady Wang stood outside the city gate and cursed, "Wang Laosan, you are so heartless that you don't even care about your own parents. You are worse than a beast. When I gave birth to you, I should have drowned you in the urine bucket."

You will not die well, you will be punished by God. But no matter how he scolded, Wang Jingru and her family had already been imprisoned. Wang Laosan felt a little bit reluctant.

Wang Jingru said, Dad is fleeing from famine this time, this is not the time for you to be kind.

Since you spent money on your grandparents, you naturally have to spend the money of your uncle and second uncle as well, as well as their sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and daughters. How much money do you have to spend?

Do you have those? And they came in with you, and you have to support their whole family along the way. When asked, Wang Laosan was silent. He really didn't have that much money.

Even if we climbed the mountain, it would be very dangerous. Can you protect these 200 people? They are a bunch of old, weak, women and children, with few young and strong people.

Sometimes people really have no choice but to take care of so many things. After entering the county town, Wang Jingru and her family of three found an inn to stay in.

But in the middle of the night, something big happened. The refugees didn't know how the city gate was opened, and all the refugees rushed in.

A county magistrate can only have a few people under him, and there are more than 7000 refugees. These refugees are like crazy, entering the shops and snatching food, drinks, clothes, silver and money.

Some refugees hated the people who lived in the county towns and set fire to the houses in the county towns. Overnight, the county towns were filled with flames and all things were looted.

The residents of the county town also fought back vigorously, with countless casualties. The original residents of the county town were robbed or killed. Overnight, the residents of the county town also became refugees fleeing famine.

The county magistrate was frightened and fled with the money overnight. He did not even dare to wear his official uniform, and the officers and soldiers who were protecting the county magistrate also changed into civilian clothes.

It was a good county town, but because of the greed of the county magistrate, it was plundered by these refugees.

Wang Jingru and her family were staying in the inn and were also besieged by you, but Wang Jingru knows martial arts.

One was knocked down in two or three moves, and the rest of the refugees chose to stay away from here. Fortunately, Wang Jingru had foresight and bought a lot of ready-made food in the county town.

I bought a lot of pancakes, buns, and steamed buns. I also bought a lot of pastries, and of course I also bought a lot of roast chicken, roast duck, and all kinds of meat.

After Wang Jingru got the inn, she put everything into the space. After dawn, Wang Jingru and her friends left the inn and saw that the street was very deserted. The refugees had looted their belongings and left overnight.

They were afraid that the soldiers would come and arrest them. The people in the city had a pretty good life, after all, it was close to the south, and they could bring in all kinds of things from there.

After all the looting, there was nothing left in the city, and there was no need for them to stay any longer. So they followed the refugees and embarked on the road of fleeing famine.

The refugees looted a lot of food, clothing, and daily necessities. Wang Jingru took out her own horse-drawn carriage, and the family of three rode forward quickly.

After this robbery incident in the city, the villagers all dispersed and went their separate ways.

Wang Jingru and her companions were driving a horse-drawn carriage which went very fast. It would have taken them two days to reach the south by walking, but a horse-drawn carriage was much faster than people, so they reached the southern border that evening.

Thinking that they would have enough food and clothing here, the three of them were overjoyed. When they arrived at a small town, they found an inn, asked for two upper rooms, and asked for bath water, and all three of them took a bath.

They had dinner upstairs before going to bed. Wang Jingru lay comfortably on the bed in the inn. But what the three people didn't know was that they were being watched as soon as they entered the town.

Wang Jingru was not worried about losing the big horse at all. The big horse was in the space, drinking spiritual spring water, and could understand human language. It had already developed intelligence and was very smart.

Even if it takes him away, he can still find himself. When they were sleeping in the middle of the night, they heard the sound of someone prying the door open. Wang Jingru was not sleeping in the bed at all. He entered the space.

Fortunately, he was in the space, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious by the drug. Wang Jingru heard that he was using a knife to unlock the door. At this time, the smoke had dissipated, and Wang Jingru left the space and quickly opened the door.

She dragged the person outside in again. Before the person could react, Wang Jingru put him into the space.

Since you are here, you can do hard labor for her! Wang Jingru quickly left the room and came to her parents' door. She saw that the door had been pried open. Wang Jingru quickly went in and two people came into her parents' room.

Maybe it was because Wang Jingru was just a little girl and had been drugged, so one person was enough to deal with her.

There were originally two people in my parents' room, and Wang Laosan was tall and strong, so he felt uneasy about having two people come.

After Wang Jingru entered the room, she took the two of them into the space without saying a word. After closing the door, she fed her parents some spiritual spring water, and they woke up after a while.

After waking up, the parents were still confused. "Daughter, why are you running to our room in the middle of the night?" Wang Jingru looked helpless. How could her father be so careless that he didn't even stay alert when he was sleeping.

Dad and Mom, you didn't even know someone had entered your room. If I hadn't come, you two would have been killed.

Someone entered my room, and the couple heard it. They were so scared that they broke into a cold sweat. Yu Wenjiao pulled her daughter over. Where are those people!

Are you okay, mom? I’m fine. If I were okay, would I still be standing here?

Then I whispered to my parents that I had put everyone into the space and asked them to work for me.

Fortunately, I couldn't sleep and entered the space, otherwise I would have known what they were doing. They first blew smoke into the door and then pried it open. I was in the space and only knew someone had entered when I heard the knock on the door.

Wang Laosan said, "It's all right, it's all right." This time Wang Laosan didn't dare to sleep, and Wang Jingru said, "Dad and Mom, go to sleep, it's all right."

How could it be okay? They must have accomplices. If they find that these people don't go back, their accomplices will definitely come again. Wang Jingru said, we have to hurry tomorrow!

Dad, you still have to drive the car. You and mom go to sleep first. I will stay in the room and then sleep in the car when we drive tomorrow. Wang Laosan and his wife agreed. They went to sleep first and let their daughter sleep in the car when they drove tomorrow.

Then the couple went to sleep on the bed, while Wang Jingru sat on a chair to rest. Wang Laosan's guess was correct. About two hours later, around two o'clock in the morning, he heard light footsteps in the corridor.

Wang Jingru hurriedly put her sleeping parents into the space. She was afraid that her parents would be hurt, so she hid behind the door. After a while, they blew the smoke again. Wang Jingru took out a wet towel from the space and covered her mouth and nose.

After a while, the smoke dissipated, and then the sound of a knife prying open the door bolt was heard.

Then I heard two people talking. Did the boss open his mouth? You said the third, fourth and sixth brothers were exposed. Or they walked into the wrong room.

I heard another person say, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Then I heard a click and the bolt opened. Two people walked in stealthily.

Before the two could react, they were already taken into the space. Wang Jingru bolted the door again and put her parents back on the bed.

Wang Jingru sat on the chair and thought, these people can come in unimpeded, which is inseparable from this inn. Wang Jingru wanted to go and see the horses, but she was worried about her parents, so she thought about it and put her parents back into the space.

She packed up her things, put them all in the space, and quietly walked out of the room. She originally planned to quietly go to the backyard to take a look, but when she went downstairs.

I heard the shopkeeper talking to the waiter, "Shopkeeper, do you think that group of people who just went in succeeded?"
