"You are more clever and understand our adults' thoughts." His tone suddenly softened.

The man who had always been fierce and vicious suddenly became abnormal. This man was a little unbelievable, but he still kept saying beautiful words.

"Do you want rice?" The man was respected enough, and then he raised his chin and looked at the honest man in front of him, as if he was looking at an ant.

Just when the man was about to reply, he heard the man say slowly again:

"It's not impossible to want rice, it's just that rice is a precious commodity, so there are conditions for wanting rice."

As he said this, the officer and soldier looked around and saw that the refugees were all looking at the rice in their hands with longing expressions on their faces, and said calmly:

"It's also thanks to our Lord Shangguan's blessing. Our Lord has said that whoever wants rice can bring a beautiful child. A child can hold a handful of rice, and any boy or girl can do it."

As soon as these words came out, huge exclamations instantly erupted from the crowd of refugees.

Ji Liangqing, who was not far away, was shocked and at the same time, he finally remembered why he felt that the dogleg who got into the carriage just now looked familiar.

This person was clearly the former Shangguanwai of their county. This Shangguanwai usually bullied men and dominated women, and had countless concubines in his house. Even so, he still always missed beautiful women.

Because of this, his kidneys were weak and his body was weak. Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had one unfulfilled son, just like his father.

Both of them loved women, and when they were about to flee the drought, they heard that the father and son were in love with children and abused them.

At that time, the drought came, so these two people were naturally escorted and ran away to nowhere. I guess they were not far from Lin'an County, otherwise they would not have met on this road.

This official usually did evil things, burning, killing and looting on the streets. But now he was still thinking about having fun on the way to escape and wanted to exchange rice for children.

Really worse than a beast!

Ji Liangqing hated this kind of people deeply in his heart. He saw some people with fanatical expressions, and others with deep resentment and madness in their eyes, who seemed a little ready to make a move.

Looking at the small group of officers and soldiers, Ji Liangqing felt a move and carefully returned to the place where they parked the cattle cart.

"Where have you been?" Li Jiang was obviously relieved when he saw Ji Liangqing sneaking back.

God knows how scared he was when he found out that Ji Liangqing was missing when he settled down just now. He was afraid that this kid was reckless and he didn't know where he was.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Ji Liangqing had his own idea in mind, turned around and called his three brothers and Wang Goudan:

"I just found out front that the official was leading a group of refugees. He only brought less than ten officers and soldiers, but he brought three or four carts of food."

Ji Liangqing saw the brothers' eyes slowly widening. In order to make them realize that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he added:

"It's rice."

Rice is a pure and fine grain. Regardless of how others reacted, at least Brother Ji's eyes lit up instantly.

His daughter-in-law, Su Xiu'er, has just given birth. If she can have a fine meal to replenish her body, pregnant women can also be nutritious.

This is where Ji Liangqing's heart beats. There are old people, children and pregnant women at home. If they can have a good meal, everyone will feel comfortable.

"What's wrong with the rice?" Mrs. Ji's cool voice came from behind:

"Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Ji Liangqing was shocked.

After reacting, I couldn't help but defend myself: "Mom, I didn't say that we were the ones who went to grab food."

As he spoke, Ji Liangqing told Mrs. Ji all his speculations and the refugees' reactions just now, and finally said:

"We are just observing in secret. If it is as expected, we can go up and grab food."

As he spoke, he focused his attention on the machete on the bullock cart.

These five grown men are all strong and not hungry, and they still have weapons in their hands. If it is as he speculated, they will be able to get a lot of good things by then!

Shangguanwai usually bullies men and bullies women. He hates this person so much that it's okay to squat for a while anyway.

Mrs. Ji originally strongly disagreed with her youngest son's approach.

But after hearing him explain the cause and effect, Mrs. Ji was obviously hesitant.

In fact, although they have a granddaughter to send supplies, it is impossible to put everything on her.

And of course the more food, the better. Why is there any objection to having too much food?

Men should also go out and exercise.

There is still almost half a month to go, and we need a lot of food.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ji stopped saying anything and just warned:

"If you can't get it, don't take it. Make sure you don't get hurt."

If you get injured while escaping, not only will it be difficult to recover, but it will also delay everyone's time.

It will be difficult for the body's vitality to recover.

"Mom, don't worry, we know what's going on." It was Brother Ji who answered.

Brother Ji couldn't wait to think about his pregnant wife.

So the brothers took their machetes and walked over there carefully.

The woman in the oxcart was also worried. When Ye Qiuyun opened the curtain, Ji Miaomiao also followed and looked outside.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, she whispered: "Dad."

But he didn't expect Ji Liangqing to hear it.

When Ji Liangqing turned around and saw his daughter, his heart felt warm and he waved his hand to her.

In the dark night, the waving hands could barely be seen clearly. Ji Miaomiao watched as Ji Liangqing and others slowly left her sight.

Everyone was worried, but they also chose to believe in the young adults.

Because Ji Liangqing is a well-known cautious person, I believe he will not go out rashly if anything changes.

Mrs. Ji still has this kind of confidence.

Facts have proved that Mrs. Ji's belief was correct, and Ji Liangqing's speculation was also correct.

Ji Liangqing brought Brother Wang Goudan Ji back to his old position.

This location is relatively hidden, and you can see the general trend clearly, and you can also hide the five big men.

As expected from afar, when they heard that girls could be exchanged for grain, some patriarchal families thought their daughters were troublesome, so they all took their daughters to exchange for rice.

It's not often that a good thing like Nvwa can be exchanged for rice, so they were very happy.

As for those families who abandoned their daughters on the road, they are naturally gritting their teeth and regretting it at this moment.

If they had known that their daughter could be exchanged for fine grains like rice, they would not have thrown her away, and they would have lost a handful of rice in vain.

These people were so remorseful that they didn't know what to do, but they didn't know that the number of girls that officials could take in was limited.

Seeing that there were already more than ten female babies, the officer and soldier frowned and said: "I don't want female babies anymore, I don't want female babies anymore, now I only want male babies!"
