Lucky Girl: Take the Space To Escape From the Famine

   Chapter 101 Corpse Tower

   Chenjia Village is the most remote. Yin Miao doesn’t know what it looked like before the locust plague, but now it is all desolate, and several surrounding mountains have become barren.

   And Chenjia Village was sandwiched between these barren mountains. At this moment, there was no other sound except for the wind. Zhong Liang only felt cold all over and his hair stood up.

   Xiao Xuan decided to go to the village to take a look after hearing the results of Yunjiang's inquiries.

   "Chenjia Village, there should be 147 people."

   Xiao Xuan said.

   "So many people died."

Yin Miao looked at the corpse pile at the entrance of the village. The corpse pile was about one meter high. Due to the dry weather all day long and the wind and sand passing by all the time, the corpses looked mummified, and the top was covered with a corpse. A handful of sand mounds, like a grave.

   It was obvious that someone had gathered all the villagers here and then slaughtered them together.

   What kind of hatred does this have with the village to do such a cruel thing?

   "It was made by people from Northern Johor."

   Xiao Xuan just took a look and concluded.

   "Why? This is the boundary of our Nanxiao country. How do you know that people from Beirou country did it?"

   Zhong Liang asked rhetorically.

   "The army of the North Rou country has a habit. After killing people, they like to stack their bodies in a tower shape. They feel that this will show their strength. The higher the tower, the more excited they will be."

   Xiao Xuan was not angry either, he just explained lightly.

   In the previous life, when the army of the Northern Rou country massacred the people of the Nanxiao country, they also used this method to compete. They were competing to see which team had the highest tower made of corpses.

   "What you said is true? If it's really a good deed done by Beirou, wouldn't these people die in vain?"

  Zhong Liang was just an ignorant and ignorant commoner before he bought an official, but even he knew that the imperial court would not care about such things. Compared to provoking a conflict between the two countries for a few insignificant villagers, the people above will just pretend they don't know about it.

   The atmosphere was silent for a while, Yin Miao wanted to say something, but did not know where to start.

  Liang Jiu, Xiao Xuancai turned around and walked towards the exit of Chenjiazhuang, and several people heard his faint words: "They will not die in vain."

   "Then what about the food, it will be gone if I pull it back, how about our brother?"

  Zhong Liang hurriedly ran after him and shouted.

  …

  The news of the government's release of grain quickly spread to all parts of Tingshi Prefecture, but this grain was only distributed to the recorded villages, and the people in the county could not get the grain.

  The explanation of the imperial court is also very simple, because the locust plague only affected the farmers with crops, so the food distribution was only distributed to the farmers.

   This led to dissatisfaction among many who heard the news later.

After a long time, it was just an empty joy. Many people in the county began to think of ways to live in various villages. Some people even bribed Lizheng in each village to add his name to the village roster. go.

There were also many strange faces outside Changling Village early in the morning. Wei Lizheng knew that these people were all from the surrounding counties, because until now there were only three villages left to distribute food. That's it.

  Changling Village is one of the villages that has not yet distributed food.

   "Changling Village is helping out. My ancestor was also a farmer in Changling Village, but the family moved to the county after doing some small business. If we can live in the village for a while, our family will definitely thank each other with courtesy."

   "We know that there are still many vacancies in the village, and everyone's life is so difficult now, so please be accommodating."

   "Yes, as the common people, the blessings and the difficulties are the same!"

  “…”

   Several people from the county saw Wei Lizheng coming out, and they all went up and begged one after another.

   One person can receive a bucket of food, and if it is a multi-family family, they can easily receive a stone of food, which is too tempting for commoners like them.

   "It's not that I don't help you, it's that there are two copies of this book, and there is also one on it. How can you ask me to add it!"

  Weili was evading, he had been specially told by his wife when he came, and he must not agree to anyone's request, otherwise he would lose his head if he got into trouble.

   "Can Wei Lizheng take a step to speak?"

  A man in a short brown cloth stepped forward and asked.

   "I know what you want to say, but this method is not feasible for our village."

  Wei Lizheng rejected the man's proposal, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a sense of pride because of Changling Village.

   "Why?"

   It wasn't just the plain man who was puzzled, everyone else asked in unison.

  Wei Lizheng smiled and replied: "Because since the roster was updated during the last grain harvest, none of the villagers in Changling Village has died."

He also knows what these people said, that is to impersonate the deceased people in the villages, because the roster in the village is only updated once a year before and after the tax. Hidden in the village, it is not easy to be found.

   For the sake of food, they all thought it was worth the risk.

   "What? Impossible! The plague of locusts has killed so many people!"

  The commoner man was very disbelieving, he thought it was just an excuse that Wei Li was making up for rejecting them.

   "This eldest brother, we are telling the truth. There was a locust plague in our village, and no one died."

   Liu Jinxi said later.

   "Yes, yes, although we have no food to eat, but if you eat some locusts and rice bran wild vegetables, you will not starve to death."

  There are villagers from Changling Village who agree with Taoism.

   Eat some locusts?

   The expressions of several people changed suddenly.

   "You guys, how dare you eat locusts?"

   A woman pointed at Wei Lizheng and asked in disbelief.

   "Why don't you dare?"

   Wei Li asked back and forth, he used to shoot the soles of his shoes directly.

   "Aren't you afraid of being attacked by the locust god? The so-called unity of heaven and man, since this locust is a punishment from heaven, you actually eat it?!"

Beside the    woman, a young man with a scholar's hair in a bun was already flushed with excitement, as if he was about to scold Wei Li for waiting for a group of villagers who had eaten the locusts.

   "Our villagers are not as poor as you are, and chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle are also beasts, and they are still eaten by people. Why can't these little locusts be eaten?"

  Liu Jin said with joy.

   "Huh! They are all made by poor people, they are simply hungry!"

   The expression that the young man looked at Liu Jinxi had become contemptuous.

   "Haha, since you don't talk too much, you can please come back. Anyway, we don't have any vacancies in Changling Village."

  Yin Chengyun shouted to several people outside the wall, and beside him there was Mrs. Zhang who echoed him.

   "That's right, locusts are delicious, and they can be made into pickles, right?"

   Mrs. Zhang also said, this is the method that Miaoer came up with. What is the poor man? Isn't this much more upright than the people who want to impostor?

   "It's delicious, the cooked locusts are really fragrant!"

   "Our chickens started laying eggs within a few days of eating locusts. What does this mean? This means that locusts are nutritious!"
