Speaking of which, they were also very curious about Miss Xue, an ugly monkey. She was really ugly.
His face is that of a monkey, but it is more wrinkled than a monkey's face. Not to mention his big hands and feet, he also has a head of white hair. In their tradition, white is not a good color.
Even cats and dogs that have white tail tips must be cut off, for fear of disturbing their owners.
But this monkey is really powerful. It looks small, but it could kill a dozen Khitan people as big as it before with bare hands. I saw that this monkey was raised by Miss Xue's family for self-defense.
So now that they see it coming, they feel a lot more secure.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was very close, and because they were all lying on the ground, it seemed to be right in their ears.
Several people did not dare to take a breath and pressed their bodies as low as possible, wishing they could melt into the soil.
Qingyan once again regretted that she did not have spiritual consciousness, otherwise she could have directly investigated.
Chou Chou was not afraid at all and stepped directly on Qingyan's shoulder, holding her head and looking out.
Given its height, this posture is just enough to expose its eyes outside the ears of wheat.
Qingyan reached back and was about to push it down, and at the same time she sent a message to it: "What are you doing? Don't you know how conspicuous the white hair on your head is? You dare to poke it out!"
Chou Chou twisted away and broke away. He patted her head and replied via voice transmission: "Am I that stupid? I'm holding a handful of wheat ears."
Qingyan made a move, why didn't she think of it?
He reached out and touched the side, and sure enough there was wheat pulled by the three villagers.
He picked up a handful with his hand, held the ears of wheat upward, and slowly poked his head out a little.
Because she stood up, Chou Chou had already gotten off her body. He was a little short of height, so he could only hold her shoulders with one hand and look out on tiptoes.
Both humans and beasts have good eyesight, and the other party is holding a torch. It can be clearly seen that it is a convoy.
There are two people on horseback in the front, five cars in the middle, and two people on horseback in the back. There should be guards in front and behind.
The car was fully loaded and covered with thick straw mats, so it was impossible to tell what was inside.
But looking at the speed, it shouldn't be a fragile item. That thing can't withstand such bumps.
I didn't see it clearly until I got closer, because I couldn't tell my height from sitting on the horse. Judging from the clothes on them, they were not Khitan people, but they were very similar to the clothes on the corpses I saw yesterday.
Qingyan rolled her eyes, couldn't these be the soldiers?
That carriage... was it pulling grain?
Could it be the rear supply for the two previous teams?
However, it seems that the two parties are not here to protect the people. They are fighting with the Khitans. They should be fighting for the right to speak.
Because their clothes were similar except for the cloth scarves on their heads, they probably used different colors to distinguish them.
Qingyan looked at the trembling people beside her, sighed, and gave up her thoughts.
If she was alone, she could try to grab a carriage, so that she would have transportation and food.
But now there are so many people around me. If I fail, they will be implicated or even die, so let it go.
Thinking about having to walk hundreds or even thousands of miles on two legs, she felt her legs were sore now.
And the most important thing is that it is not easy for her to wear sneakers on her feet. If she meets a stranger, she will definitely attract attention.
But the straw sandals worn by the villagers made her feet hurt just thinking about them. As for the ones ripped off the feet of the Khitan people, forget it, she couldn't bear the smell, they were too big, and walking would probably be even more tiring.
After thinking wildly, the motorcade passed by. Listening to the sound of wheels and horse hooves gradually disappearing, there was no need to worry about it now.
"Get up, it's okay, let's continue working."
Qingyan stood up, patted the dirt and wheat straw on her body, turned back and said to the few people still lying on the ground.
A few people first carefully raised their upper bodies and looked outside. When they saw that there was really nothing, they stood up. However, they didn't know whether they got up too hard or were discouraged, and they almost fell back down.
"Zhizhizhi~" Chou Chou was so amused that he couldn't make a human voice, so he had to imitate the monkey's laughter.
Qingyan took it into her arms and rubbed its head, but didn't say anything to it.
Chou Chou smiled like this, which made the tense atmosphere disappear.
Grandma Lanhua and the other three villagers stood up slowly and smiled sheepishly.
"I'll go over and see what's going on over there at Orchid. They're probably scared."
Qingyan also stood up, "I'll go with you, otherwise we can all get together to work. It will be dawn in another hour, so let's hurry up and collect as much as we can."
This field is on the roadside, which is still a bit dangerous, especially since a convoy has just passed by, and someone might pass by at some point.
Grandma Lanhua and the three villagers all nodded. If they thought this way, they would probably have no energy to collect food if they had to do it again.
The five people and one beast headed toward the west first, preparing to call the people on the west to go to the middle.
If you stand and walk, you can still see someone. As soon as you get nearby, someone will ask.
"Who's coming?"
Grandma Lanhua replied: "Sister-in-law Dashan, it's us. Let's come over and ask you to go to the middle together. We don't have much time, so we might as well collect them together."
When Yang Dashan's wife heard this familiar voice, she felt relieved. Although she knew that the person she was looking for was probably an acquaintance of hers, she was still afraid of what might happen.
He turned back to the other two old ladies and said, "It's Lanhua's grandma who asked us to go to the middle. What do you think? Can you stand up?"
Because there is a canal on the west side, which can be filled with water from the river pit not far away, so the land on the west side is softer and easier to pull out, so the three women came over.
At this time, Qingyan and the others had already walked up to them. They saw someone sitting on the ground and asked what was going on.
Dashan's wife said: "Hey~ Forget it, didn't you just get a fright? The Dawang family didn't pay attention when they got up, and stepped on the Erzhuang family's ankle..."
Qingyan walked over and knelt down, stretched out her hand and pinched Erzhuang's ankle, "Can you move? Try turning your feet."
The Erzhuang family turned around obediently, "It's not bad, it doesn't hurt much anymore."
"It's okay. It just hurt when I stepped on it. No bones were hurt. After a while, the skin will be bruised and swollen. Just rub it and it will be fine."
After Qingyan checked, she stood up, took a bundle of wheat that had been bundled not far away in one hand and put another bundle under each arm, and walked towards the east.
When the remaining people saw this, the men took two bundles, and the women each held a bundle and followed.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, this Miss Xue is so strong!
Their bundles were not small, because the wheat in the west was easy to pull, so they pulled a lot. As soon as they were ready to be transported over, the convoy came.
It's a good time now, we can take them away together.
