Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Chapter 138 1 nest end

These words hit the nail on the head, Li Ji opened his mouth, but couldn't think of any rebuttal words.

Now that the letter has been sent to Shen Tianzhan, there is still no news, and it is not clear what will happen next.If you want justice now, you still have to solve it yourself.

"Since this is the case, we can solve it by ourselves." Li Jinai's son Li thought of various ways, "As long as they don't leave, everything will be easy to handle! Right now, we can only hope that the child will not suffer too much and find him safely. return."

The second day was full of torment. There were children begging on the street, and a few elite soldiers in disguise pretended to be shopping. Can't see any difference.

These children are still there, and those kidnappers must also be in the city.This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.It was not easy to stay up until night, and there were almost no one on the street. Only then did the children pack up the only rags for paving the floor and a Powan, and walked over with difficulty, supporting each other.

Two elite soldiers who were good at tracking just followed the children, throwing some signs along the road, and when they were far away, Li Ji and others went all the way.

None of the children's family members were brought out, for fear that they could not help being emotional and make trouble ahead of time when they got nearby, and they were also afraid that they would cause trouble because they were unarmed and did not know how to fight.They stayed in the inn, fidgeting and waiting for the situation here.

Er Gouzi walked in the front, always paying attention to the movement in front of him, Li Ji was at the back, and he couldn't see anything in front of the dark lights, so he could only slow down his pace as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble for them.

At this moment, the eight kidnappers and a dozen children were nestling in the rented house and counting money.

According to the rules, light a dim oil lamp and start counting money.The one who asks for the most money can eat two bowls of rice until he is full, and the one who gets the least money is not allowed to eat until tomorrow.

This is also the most nervous time of the day for this group of children.Because of such a long period of torture, they had no intention of escaping at all.The biggest wish now is to get more copper coins every day, and then hug and eat.

In order to ask for more money, some children even did not hesitate to hurt themselves, let themselves bleed and be injured, and be pitied by others, in exchange for a few days of full food.

"Nine-six, nine-eight, three hundred! Alright, you alone are going to reach three hundred and four today! Good job, continue tomorrow! Make the next one!"

The child with more than 300 main roads has both legs disabled. After hearing the praise, he took back the empty broken bowl and money bag and stuffed them into his clothes, and then gave them to the people behind with difficulty with both hands. Give Way.

One was counting, and another man and a woman looked at the copper plate reflecting light under the dim light with joy on their faces, not hiding their greedy look at all.

The woman said: "I told you to come here and try it, but you didn't listen. Look! Sure enough, there are people here who are stupid and have a lot of money. A little kid can earn more than 300 copper coins a day. These more than ten children If we persist for half a month, we will grow up."

"We've been here for more than half a month. Did you accept it as soon as you see it? Our children have already got three, so don't let it really happen." The man said a little cautiously.

The woman rolled her eyes, looked at those copper coins, and licked her lips: "Why don't you just say that you make a lot of money? Here the sky is so high that the emperor is far away, there is not even a county magistrate, and the officials are just those rough men with that weapon , What can they do? Not to mention staying for another ten days and a half months, even a year and a half will not be a problem! Even if someone finds out, we can pat our ass and leave at any time. As long as we leave the county magistrate, who can Looking for us?"

Hearing what he said, the man thought it made sense, so he just nodded.

After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at the man and said, "How about the three new boys? I'm busy making money this time, but I'll leave it to you to train and teach."

The man rubbed his hands together, and said, "It's only been a few days, let's keep doing that. If you are spoiled at home, you will inevitably be stubborn when you first come here."

"You can make excuses. Now every day is money. Give you a few more days, and I will count it! If you get it done earlier, it will be money. Don't be reluctant to do it. It's better if you mess it up. It's better if you kill it." Something new."

Over there, I counted out the copper coins that a person wanted. It was less than three hundred copper coins, but it was still a lot.There are more copper coins, and there are more smiling faces counting silver. You can see some smiling faces when you talk to every child.He kept a straight face when the children were afraid, because it represented torture.Now he is smiling happily. In the eyes of the children, he is more satisfied than eating two more bowls of rice.

Those two lurking soldiers could hear them clearly from outside, they gritted their teeth and wished they could go in and tear them alive.But there are only two of them, even if they are skilled, they can't save those children.No matter what you hear right now, you can only bear it!As long as everyone behind has arrived, none of these people can escape!

After a quarter of an hour, all the copper coins here were lost, and they began to distribute food to the children. The least one actually had more than 100 copper coins. I can only squat in the corner and watch other children gobble up food.

Er Gouzi and his party finally arrived.A person who was lurking came out of the yard to report the situation to them.The commander is more skilled in combat. After listening to the situation inside, he directly distributed ten people to squat in various corners suitable for escape outside, and the remaining ten people rushed in to save people with five people in each front and back of the yard!

Suddenly someone broke in, which confused the group who were eating, and the children were even more frightened, screaming loudly together.

The eight kidnappers didn't expect anyone to find this place, and after being frightened, they took out their weapons and confronted each other.

Li Ji was the last to come in, opened the fire folder, blew out the flames, grabbed the quilt placed on the cabinet in the room and threw it on the ground, and threw the fire folder on it.Soon the quilt ignited into the sky, and Li Ji's face was reddened by the flames.

"To tell you the truth, there are twenty of us, and all of them are soldiers. It's not so good if you don't want to put your hands up and kneel down, waiting for us to do it!" Under the firelight, the children could be seen frightened one by one. s face.When Li Ji saw it, he became even more furious.

In fact, the whole country does not know how many such teams there are, and how many children are considered disabled and thrown on the street to beg.

This group of people also panicked, especially Li Ji lit a fire as soon as he entered the house.The heat wave gathered in the room, and the heat turned into an invisible pressure oppressing their nerves.

"When...soldiers? Are you soldiers? Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding! We have something to discuss! It’s all coming out of everyone, who doesn’t want to earn two more silver to go back? We have money to earn together and make a fortune together !"

The leader squeezed out a smile to express his kindness as much as possible, but obviously, these people in front of him didn't like this one.

The commander saw that they had no intention of surrendering directly, so with a wave of his hand, the subordinates went up directly.

They hold things in their hands, and some can write punches and kicks.How can it compare to the elite soldiers who have been trained all the year round?After a few strokes, all eight people were pushed to the ground. In order to prevent hidden weapons, their clothes were stripped off, and they were pressed out with their hands trapped behind their backs.There was a woman who couldn't take off her clothes, so she tied them up with a thin quilt and pushed them out.The house is a thatched house, and the grass on the roof was quickly ignited.

The fire started, and soon the house was on fire.Li Ji led a few people to comfort the frightened children first: "Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you, don't worry, they will not beat you anymore. Tell me, where is the new child they arrested? There I have relatives."

This group of children didn't dare to speak, as if they were afraid that if those people were fine in the future, whoever said that would torture the person who spoke to death.

Li Ji asked twice, but none of the children dared to speak, but some secretly pointed in one direction.

Asking others to take the children out, Li Ji and Er Gouzi looked for the place pointed by the children.There was only the kitchen, and there was no sign of the child at all.Er Gouzi lit the fire folder that he carried with him, and listened carefully to the sound.

"There is crying." Er Gouzi said.

"Where?" Li Ji hurriedly asked.

Er Gouzi looked down, squatted down, found a place with a wooden board and knocked it, it was empty.

It's normal to have a food storage cellar in the kitchen. If you didn't hear the movement, you wouldn't have thought that there would be people hiding there.

When the wooden board is lifted, the light of the fire should not reach the bottom, so it cannot be seen clearly.Li Ji shouted: "San'er? Is San'er here! I am your fourth great-grandfather!"

"Grandpa! Is it really you, grandpa!" The weak and crying voice below remembered.Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally found it! Come up quickly! I waited for the soldiers to come, and the bad guys were arrested! It's all right!" Li Ji took the fire folder in Er Gouzi's hand, took a photo inside, and finally saw three figures.

San'er's voice was weak, and he cried: "Grandpa, I can't move, my leg is broken."

Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.The child has only been lost for a day, so it's done so quickly!

After hearing this, Er Gouzi jumped in and touched a child online.

Li Ji found a place to insert the fire pocket, and picked up the child from Er Gouzi.The two arms that came up first have no strength, and they may be dislocated.If it is more frenzied, it may be really interrupted.

Li Ji patted it distressedly: "Can you still walk around? Go out! Someone will pick you up outside!"

He can't move his hands, but his feet are fine.He didn't know how many days he had been locked up, and he didn't have Li Ji on him, so he thanked him and ran out stumbling.

The second child also burst out. This child has both hands and is very strong.After coming up, he hugged Li Ji and opened his mouth to call out grandpa, this is Li Ji's lost great-nephew.

"It's okay, grandpa is here, wait a minute, and I'll take out the rest of the children."

There was only one left, and the child could feel that he was still running a fever when he was hugged.It was cold and damp in the cellar, and even good people might not be able to bear it. Such a child with a fever still left it alone!

"This group of beasts!" Li Ji scolded, and went out with Er Gouzi each carrying a child.

Those few people were all tied up and gagged, and dragged all the way to the edge of the county.Some of the more than a dozen disabled children were struggling to walk, and they were all arranged in a large courtyard nearby, and asked Li Jin and the others to ask a doctor to look at them to see if any of them could be cured.

There are only two doctors left in the county, one is invited to the courtyard, and the other is invited to the inn.San'er reunited with his parents in the inn, and the doctor also showed San'er's legs in the inn.

San'er's parents and grandma couldn't help crying on San'er's body, and the grandfather was also wiping away tears.Turning around and seeing Li Ji, he knelt down with a plop.

"Fourth Uncle! You are really our family's benefactor!" Kowtowing as if.How could Li Ji dare to accept such a big gift from him at such an advanced age?Even if the seniority is there, Li Ji is afraid of shortening his life.

Reaching out to help him up, Li Ji said, "It's a good thing that the child is back. Don't be so polite to Douzi's family. The child is suffering, let the doctor take a good look at it first."

The bone is broken, and the child is still young, and it is the time when the body is growing. If it is connected, as long as it looks good, there should be no problem in the future, and it will not become lame.

It's also not long since the sobriety was broken. If it was really delayed for ten days and a half months, it would definitely be the root cause of the disease.

The child was fine when he got it back, and the doctor set the bone for the child.San'er was a child after all, he struggled in pain and didn't cooperate at all, in the end it was his father and mother who helped hold him down, and it was done.

In the middle of the night, the doctor prescribed medicine, wiped off his sweat, and planned to go back and rest.

Li Ji stuffed a few taels of silver to the doctor: "I also know that you have worked so hard, but there are still children injured in the courtyard, so it's not good to have only one doctor there. You are so troubled, go and help! "

The money given was a lot, and the injured were all children. The doctor nodded, packed up his things and went to the courtyard with Li Ji and Er Gouzi.

The two newly captured children were heartbroken and the easiest to heal, so they were the first to be healed.The febrile child received a heavy blow to his back, and he might collapse.The one with the dislocated arm was okay, but more frightened.Just go back and take some sedative decoction. ,

Behind are the children who are considered disabled.

Not to mention those children who have been fractured for a long time, even those children who are only dislocated are difficult to treat.Because it's been dislocated for too long.Ordinary dislocations are not considered a disease, and they can be reconnected in a few clicks if you know something, but this kind of dislocation has never been reconnected. It’s just such a dislocation over the years, and the flesh and blood are set. It’s hard to get it back.

These children were full of fear and vigilance when they first came here. They didn't know what they would face in the future, and they were also afraid that those people would come back suddenly and take them away.

The doctor and a group of people working in the courtyard were comforting, and even brought a few children over to talk to them.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi came over and brought another doctor, which relieved the burden of the previous doctor. The two doctors together made diagnosis and treatment faster, and those who couldn't be treated would be like this in the days to come.There are still some cures, and the doctors are trying their best to think of ways.

Li Ji only remembered it when he came over, and hurriedly asked people to cook a good meal for the children. When they first arrived, they were eating, and the lights were dim, so I didn't see what they were eating, but since the meal was not finished, they must be still hungry. belly.

Knowing that they didn't have enough to eat for a long time, they were afraid that they would suddenly eat oily stomachs, so they only ate lean meat porridge that was easy to digest, boiled rotten and added some salt.After it cools down, each child will share a bowl. If you are not full, eat when you are full.

Each child took the bowl without even using a spoon, and raised his neck and drank in big gulps.

It's been a long time since they were late for rice, or something so delicious and delicious. Most of them were crying while eating candy, but they didn't dare to ask for more after finishing the rice in the bowl.

The woman who helped serve the rice was still concerned, and when she saw whose bowl was empty, she would add a spoon to it, and almost everyone stopped after eating two bowls.All of them are so thin, they can't eat all at once, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it.Those with disabled arms were fed mouthful by mouthful with a bowl.The children were full, so they let down their guard.

Some clever children helped to ask some questions, and then told Li Ji the answers.

Some children don't even know where they are from, or how long they have been caught.Some were brought in as babies, and were carried by older children to beg along the street when they were young.Some people see a handicapped child who has to take care of the baby's younger siblings, and feel sorry that they can give more money.

There is only one meal a day, and only children with a lot of money can eat it.Most of the food that children eat can't name it. Only older and more experienced children can tell that it is bran.To put it bluntly, it is for feeding livestock.

Normally, it's a famine that feeds hunger when there's no food, and indeed these children's main food these years.

How can a child get a hundred copper coins a day, and even a copper coin can buy a steamed bun that is enough for a child to eat for a day.But these people put money in their pockets, and treat these children as livestock!

After hearing this, not to mention the children in the courtyard crying, the adults also turned red eyes.

At dawn, the children had eaten, and they were arranged to go to bed.In order not to disturb them, today the teacher will not teach anymore.The children who know how to learn can read for a while by themselves, and those who don't know how to learn can play for a day, as long as they don't make any noise, no one will care.

Li Ji stayed up all night, not having enough energy.I went back to the inn with Er Gouzi.Go to see San'er, at this time San'er has already fallen asleep.Li Ji was so sleepy that he would lie down in his own room and fall asleep.

After sleeping until noon, I went to the courtyard to see that most of the children were awake, and the older children in the courtyard were helping with counseling.It's just that they are basically dumbfounded, and they will shake into a sieve at the slightest sign of trouble.It's really hard to say what will happen after this.

Li Ji didn't know how to arrange them in the future.Just stay in the courtyard like this?They followed those kidnappers for such a long time, they were controlled day and night, no matter their bodies or children, their minds have been changed, can they go back normally?

What if they really have distorted personalities and harmed the otherwise good children in the courtyard?

You can't throw them away, but you can't affect the status quo of your family.

This is a problem.How to solve it remains to be considered.

Back to the inn, let the shopkeeper arrange a carriage, and the two of them went back to the village together.

Except for the woman who was wrapped in a thin quilt, the eight people were all in their underwear and moved outside all night.

The key is tied tightly, not to mention Taobao, walking is not stable.

After just moving like this for a whole night, when Li Jidao was waiting, he felt relieved to see all of them with livid faces.These people don't know how many children have been killed, how many children have been mutilated, and those families have lost their beloved children, just to satisfy their own pockets of money.

Everyone was in their own yard, and Li Ji and Er Gouzi went into the house to warm up by the fire.

After brewing tea and taking a sip of tea to drive away the cold, I began to discuss with the commander how to deal with these people.

"They have committed a heinous crime. They waste food by raising it. It is better to cut it directly." This is what the commander meant.

Li Ji shook his head: "They do a lot of evil, it's too cheap to kill them directly. Give them a sigh of relief and let them work! Lock them up and work all day long. They only feed those children bran, and they will also eat this in the future! Anyone who dares to run will give up a leg, and no one will die for ten or twenty years!"

For such a conscienceless person, death is a relief.Li Ji is not a vicious person. He has seen those skinny and disabled children. At this moment, he really wants to use all the criminal laws of the [-]th hell for them one by one!

Who is the commander?Is from the army.How to make a person's life worse than death can be said to be comparable to that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.For those who march and fight, the use of punishment is also a great learning.After capturing the prisoner, how to ask him everything he knows depends on the method used.

How to make them run without daring to run, there are plenty of ways.Because on special occasions, if there are not enough soldiers to fight, they all rely on strong men to fight.How to prevent them from running depends entirely on the means used!

"Since that's the case, I'm paying attention. Leave these people to me. They'll be guaranteed for ten or eight years. Look, they still have a breath."

Li Ji didn't understand these things, and when the commander said so, Li Ji gave them the man.Why did Li Ji not want to hand them over to the yamen, but where is the yamen at this time?Even if there were them, if they met a greedy person and stuffed some money, this group of people would be punished and betrayed symbolically at best, but it wouldn't be long before they could come out and enjoy themselves.

But their harm to those children is a lifetime thing.

Thinking of those children, Li Ji still had to find a way to settle down.

"Speaking of this, I'm still worried about those children. Although these beasts have been caught now, I don't know what will happen to these children in the future. They have been abused for a long time, and they are all in a daze. What will happen in the future? It's hard to say whether we can make it through the arrangement."

The commander thought about it and said, "You know, the soldiers who have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the more they kill, the less they can go home and live a normal life."

Li Ji has never been a soldier, how could he know this?

Li Ji shook his head, and the commander continued: "Because I have killed people and walked out of the dead. Even if I go back home, I will still be haunted by nightmares. I can't escape for the rest of my life. Those beasts are the nightmares of those children. It's still those children. child."

"What do you mean?"

"killed."

The author has something to say: don't be in a hurry to scold the commander...just look at things from a different angle.

I wrote a paragraph that I thought of was the plot of the circus chapter in Black Butler. The plot is different, but they all kidnap children.Finally, Charles ordered that these people be killed.This is a contradiction, and many people disagree.

However, the Commander's starting point is different from Ciel's.The plot has nothing to do with it.It's just that when I wrote this, I suddenly remembered this...

The plot of the kidnapper was inspired by a piece of news I read a few years ago, that is, a kidnapper organized disabled children to beg for money.Later, they were carried away by a litter. Most of the children were cured with modern medicine, but some of them were permanently disabled.I don't know what happened now.

The fire is modern, at least there is a way to cure the child when he gets it back.In the era in this article, medicine was backward, and the proportion of people who will be disabled for a lifetime in the future is quite large.
