Chapter 295 The Fleeing Man
On the way…
"Then where did you come from?"
Could it be that these two are not from Nanxiao?
"Shangyuncheng."
Xiao Xuan also looked at these people, especially the man in front of him.
"That's farther north, isn't there a lot of people starved to death?"
Someone asked again.
"Yes before, no one is starved to death anymore, you should come first."
Yin Miao saw that most of these people had given up their vigilance, so she said again, a few people were still carrying children on their backs, and she felt that they were about to lose their feet.
Everyone hesitated for a while, before a few men who seemed more powerful entered the inn.
"Come in."
the previous man shouted inside.
When everyone went in, they found that the inn was really empty and the size was enough to accommodate so many of them, so they were relieved.
"My name is Chen Axiang, I have offended you a lot just now, please forgive me."
The middle-aged woman who had spoken to the two of them before took the initiative to walk over and said that the two of them did not look like bad people.
"It's okay, are they hurt?"
Yin Miao pointed to several men and women who were sitting down and asked. Those people had cloth strips wrapped around their thighs and arms, and they were always careful not to touch them.
Chen Axiang's face paled a bit. She pulled the two of them to the side before answering, "It's an injury, but it's a scratch."
The wound of scraping flesh? What does that mean?
And these are things that the children don't know, and the adults also choose to hide it.
For the sake of their children's survival, they don't mind enduring the pain of scraping flesh.
Yin Miao didn't know how to respond, she looked at the wounded people who sat down and rested, and suddenly felt extremely sad.
"If it's like this all the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to stick to the destination and fall down."
Xiao Xuan said.
"Hey, that will come later. If the child is gone, it will be a pain in the ass."
Chen Axiang also slightly opened her sleeves, and her arms were also wrapped in blood-stained strips of cloth.
"You... do you have any jade pendant or something on your body?"
Yin Miao asked.
Chen Axiang put away her injured arm and looked at Yin Miao who suddenly asked this question in surprise:
"Yes, yes, I happen to have a hosta here. If you don't dislike it, I will give it to you."
It was just an unremarkable hosta without any decoration. She brought it out accidentally when she went out, and it was completely useless.
"I want it, you wait."
Yin Miao ran to the back of the inn, Xiao Xuan looked at the girl's back with a doting face, and sure enough, she was actually softer than anyone else.
After a while, Chen Axiang stared blankly at a cloth bag beside her feet. The cloth bag was not tied, and the contents inside shocked her.
She actually saw the buns with white flowers? !
"Girl, you are..."
"I want your hosta, these will naturally be exchanged for you. If the rest of you have jade, you can also come to me to exchange food."
When Yin Miao came in with a bag of things, she had already attracted the attention of many people. At this time, her words were also heard by everyone. Seeing Chen Axiang bent down and took out a white and fat bun, the room suddenly boiled. up.
"Mother, mother, my mother bought something!"
The little girl who hid behind the man just now ran over cheering.
"The hostel is fine, can I change my jade pendant?"
"Where's the jade wrench?"
"My child also has a jade pendant here!"
“…”
The people in the house gathered around one after another, looking at the man and woman with fiery eyes.
"As long as it's jade, it's okay."
Yin Miao said.
Xiao Xuan kept Yin Miao behind him, for fear that someone would accidentally bump into her. Seeing this, Chen Axiang's husband Zhao Kui quickly stabilized everyone.
"Since people say they can change, everyone will come one by one."
As soon as Zhao Kui's words came out, many people became quiet.
Xiao Xuan also said: "My wife has a good heart, but if you bump into her, the next transaction will be cancelled naturally."
“…”
These two are actually a couple?
But it does look like a talented woman and a perfect match.
"Brother, don't worry, everyone was just excited just now, we have no ill intentions."
Another man quickly explained.
"Well, you bring the people with jade tools here first."
Xiao Xuan's expression improved a little, no matter how pitiful the person was, if Yin Miao was hurt, he would not let him go.
Yin Miao noticed that most of the people were looking at them blankly and enviously at this time, because they didn't have any and jade.
"Speaking of which, there are still some things on my side that need help. If you do well, you can also get food from us. What do you think?"
Yin Miao asked the people in the house.
The inn, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and after a while, someone responded: "Help, we can help!"
What the heck are you busy with, and you can still change food?
I saw that the young girl ran outside the inn again, and after a while, she came in with two large cloth bags. She threw one of the cloth bags on the ground, and the emerald green lotus pods rolled out from the cloth bag.
"Help me take out the lotus seeds from these lotus pods, these are all yours."
She pointed to another cloth bag and said.
Everyone walked in and saw that there was actually a variety of food in another full cloth bag!
"Girl, is what you said true?"
A young man wants to make sure again.
"Of course it's true, girl, my hand hurts when peeling lotus seeds. It just so happens that you guys are short of food and drink. Why don't you come and help me."
Yin Miao said.
Chen Axiang just thought it was like a dream, the girl even let them sit down to eat first, and the food they ate was even more delicious, not only oily meat buns, but also roasted meat. Ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes, sweet and savory cucumber carrots…
And the two just sat not far away and watched them gobble.
Seeing this, Chen Axiang, Zhao Kui and others have already reacted. It is fake for this girl to exchange jade with them to peel lotus seeds, but it is true that she wants to help them. Otherwise, how could someone be so stupid and use it in this famine year. How many jade pendants can be exchanged for so much food?
"Great kindness and great virtue can't be repaid, can you know the names of the two?"
After eating a few meat buns, Zhao Kui strode over and asked, the wound on his thigh had oozing blood, but he seemed to be used to it and didn't care at all.
