Chapter 12 You have to pay tolls

Guandaokou.

A dozen or so tough-headed men with big swords in their hands were plundering food and money from the luggage of passing refugees one by one.

Next to them, there were two trucks of products.

It's a group of bandits!

When the villagers in Xingshan Village saw this scene, they were so frightened that they quickly protected their food and money, and some even started to retreat.

The meaning of those bandits is obvious...

If you want to enter the officialdom, you have to exchange food and money!

They were refugees fleeing famine, and the whole family relied on the food in the car and the money in their pockets.

If everything is given to them, how can we still live?

But if you don't enter the official road, everyone will have no choice but to return to Xingshan Village. Going back will have no water, no food, and no income. It is also a dead end!

The village chief hesitated again and again and called all the villagers in Xingshan Village aside.

"I watched those bandits only plundering food from the cars. Everyone hid their money with them. If they ran out of food, they could go to the county town to buy it!"

The village chief didn't say anything back, and just asked everyone to hide their money, cutting off their hesitation before they could continue to move forward.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you...

Finally, everyone started hiding money.

The Hua family is also hiding money, but Mrs. Hua, Hua Jikuan and others are hiding it. Wen and Hua Yunrou are already empty.

Mrs. Hua remembered the 500 coins that Hua Yunrou took out from her body yesterday, and wondered if she still had any money on her.

She came over to search Hua Yunrou's body.

Hua Yunrou had no money on her and was not afraid of her searching it.

Mrs. Hua didn't find any money from Hua Yunrou, so she searched Wen's body again, but couldn't find it either. She instinctively wanted to look at Hua Xiaonian again...

As soon as she raised her head, she met Hua Xiaonian who was looking at her with confusion.

When Mrs. Hua searched the bodies of Hua Yunrou and Wen, she didn't say anything, but secretly gave them a fierce look...

Therefore, Hua Xiaonian didn't know what Mrs. Hua was doing when she touched them just now.

Could it be some kind of custom at the foot of the mountain that Master mentioned?

The little nun is still thinking...

If it is a good custom, then should she reluctantly let Mrs. Hua touch her?

As a result, Mrs. Hua just glanced at her and ran away in a hurry?

The old lady said: She was not afraid of her, it was just because she was too unlucky and she didn't want to be contaminated by her dirt.

The villagers in Xingshan Village hid their money and went to the queue to queue up.

It took about two-quarters of an hour to get in line with them.

The village chief's house is at the front.

After several bandits plundered all the food in his family's car as usual, one of them stretched out his rough hand in front of him.

The village chief was puzzled, "Sir, what are you doing?"

The bandit looked impatient, "If you want to enter the officialdom, you have to pay 1 tael of silver each, so hurry up!"

The village chief did not see the refugees lining up in front of him paying money, so he hesitated a little, and subconsciously glanced at the refugees who had already entered.

The bandits have been collecting tolls here for several days. When you see the village chief doing this, you will understand what he is thinking!

Disdainfully, he took out a cloth bag filled with more than half a bag of silver from the side and urged, "Did you see that you have to pay to enter the officialdom?"

The village chief reluctantly paid five taels of silver!

After entering the village chief's house, there are several houses at the back.

Everyone went in one after another, their food was robbed, and they had to reluctantly take out most of their family savings. Several families who went in cried loudly.

The Hua family is among the last few households.

When they waited, the food in the car had also been looted by bandits, and the next step was to pay the toll.

Mrs. Hua endured her angina and took out 5 taels of silver and handed it to the bandit.

The bandits counted 5 people starting from Mrs. Hua and let them go.

Just when Hua Xiaonian stopped counting.

In other words, Mrs. Hua only paid tolls for herself and the four members of Hua Jikuan's family. As for Hua Xiaonian and others.

This is what Mrs. Hua thinks...

Anyway, the unlucky Wen family couldn't lay an egg, so taking them to escape would only be a waste of the Hua family's money.

Just let them stay and fend for themselves!

When she went to the border to find Hua Sui, she lied that Mr. Wen and others had died of illness, and then she would marry her eldest son a wife!

Hua Xiaonian saw Mrs. Hua and the benefactor go in, but they were blocked by the black-headed benefactor holding a big knife.

She was very unhappy.

I wanted to just kick the knife away for him, but then I remembered what Master said: After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, peace is the most important thing, and if you can use your words, don't use your hands.

She is a well-behaved and obedient little nun.

He said, "This donor, your knife is blocking my way."

Seeing that she was a little girl, the bandit didn't pay attention to her words of "donor" and instead shouted to Mrs. Wen behind her who looked like her mother.

"Get the money quickly, don't get any ink!"

Mrs. Wen was already a little flustered because Mrs. Hua had left them behind, and when the bandits shouted at her, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

Tears fell down.

When the bandits saw her like this, they knew she had no money, so they chased her away!

There are still a lot of people waiting in line behind us, so we can’t delay getting paid because of them!

"If you don't have money, get out of here quickly, don't waste time here..."

Before the bandit could finish speaking, a bandit next to him grabbed his arm.

"Hey, look at the little baby in her arms. Last time we went to the county town, wasn't there a member of the Communist Party of China who wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a baby?"

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows at him.

The tolls they collect here will be given to the owner of the village, but if they sell the little doll, the money will be their own.

The two of them suddenly had a strange idea.

"Leave this doll and you three can go over there!"

When Mrs. Hua and others entered the official road, they had already pushed the cart away. Now Mrs. Wen was holding her little daughter.

When she heard that the bandits wanted her child, she was so frightened that she hugged her little daughter tightly, shook her head and refused, "No, we won't go in!"

Even if she starves to death, she cannot sell her daughter!

Since the bandit had already set his sights on the child in her arms, how could he give up so easily?

Immediately come forward to snatch people!

But before they could get in front of Mr. Wen...

Suddenly two feet flew from the side and kicked them away.

Hua Xiaonian looked calm.

It seemed that the two kicks just now were not caused by her.

She said to Wen next to her in a sweet voice, "Donor Wen, let's go!"

The little baby in Wen's arms was the little nun's bottom line. The two bandits should never, never set their sights on her.

But two bandits fell, and there were more than a dozen other bandits.

Seeing their companions being kicked away by a little girl, they immediately became furious and ran over with knives in hand.

That posture looked like he was going to chop Hua Xiaonian into pieces!

But what they never imagined was that this was the worst thing they had done in their lives.

Before they could reach Hua Xiaonian, their bodies were frozen on the spot, unable to move no matter how hard they struggled.

Several refugees who were queuing up at the back were so frightened that they stepped back when they saw this familiar scene.

They didn't forget how they were restrained last night. It wasn't until midnight that the restraints on them were released.

They almost froze to death!

The mental and physical torture was more severe than killing them with a knife!

As everyone knows...

The little nun just used stones to fix their acupuncture points for a few hours last night, but these bandits were fixed with silver needles.

If the silver needles are not removed for them, they will never be able to get rid of the acupuncture points.

The little nuns also have special techniques for inserting needles. If ordinary people pull out the needles for them at will, they will probably be killed on the spot...
