Chapter 84: exaggerated acting
Chapter 84 Exaggerated acting skills
Ye Anlan waited for a cup of tea time, and the young man ran back with more than 20 young and middle-aged men from the village.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Miss Ye, these are all enemies with those wicked bastards, and they turned back halfway when I told them."
Ye Anlan understood that this was a villager who had packed up his things and was about to go up the mountain, but was called back by the young man.
She glanced at the twenty or so young and middle-aged men who were both nervous and excited, "Does your family know?"
The villagers nodded vigorously. They knew that they knew it, but they really didn’t agree with it. The reason why they were allowed to come was because they couldn’t be persuaded.
Ye Anlan was thoughtful, "Then let's go."
She, Yang Xiaotao, Wei Zhen, and Li Jing, three of them wearing coarse cloth long skirts and one of them wearing a fine cloth scholar's robe, pretended to be relatives who fled together with the villagers, and drove a donkey cart towards the direction of the county seat.
Behind them, about two or three miles away, is Chang An and others who are in the second echelon, and behind them are Ye Jinkui and others who are in the third echelon.
According to Ye Anlan's instructions, the two teams kept a suitable distance from Ye Anlan and the others, hanging behind Ye Anlan and the others not too far or too close.
Along the way, Ye Anlan had nothing to do, so she started to fool the villagers who went to the county with them to make trouble.
She didn't directly solicit, but asked these villagers curiously.
How are you doing here? Is the land fertile? How many fields do you have at home? With a busy year at the end of the year, is the grain you eat enough for a family of snacks?
Was the officials who cared about you in the past unscrupulous? Are the taxes collected by the government heavy? Have you ever been exhausted by corvée or something?
If you kill these puppies who are now occupying the county, will your place be occupied by other rebel forces? Which of the rebels around here is kinder to us ordinary people?
You don't know yet, do you? The next three states have not had snow for a consecutive winter, and when we passed by, we heard that it has not rained since the beginning of spring. Coupled with the fact that those big and small forces are fighting fiercely, there are now more refugees than before.
The more Ye Anlan asked and talked, the colder the hearts of these villagers became.
why? Because all of Ye Anlan's questions, the answers they could give were all in the wrong direction.
In addition, Ye Anlan also told them about the bad situation in other states and counties, and these villagers were even more heartbroken when they heard it.
They are all people who have been hungry, and have seen people who are more hungry than them, so they all know that once people are hungry, there is no such thing as bottom line and conscience.
It's a trivial matter to grab things. Maybe the children they tried their best to protect will be stolen by the refugees and cooked.
"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing." After achieving the desired effect, Ye Anlan changed the topic in a timely manner, "Don't call A Jing a younger brother, let's call her a sister."
Everyone:? ? ?
Li Jing: .
He immediately understood what Ye Anlan was planning, but those villagers who were far less intelligent than him couldn't turn the corner.
Ye Anlan then briefly explained her little calculation to them, "Although Ah Jing is a man, he has an outstanding appearance and a slender figure. If he is said to be a peasant girl disguised as a man, those rebels will definitely not suspect him." of."
Everyone: .
Countless sympathetic eyes of Lala all turned to the poor Li Jing who was forced to "dress up as a man".
Li Jing didn't think it was a big deal, he nodded slightly to everyone, "Just listen to Miss Ye."
Everyone: .
A group of big men can't figure out how Li Jing, who is obviously a noble son, has no psychological burden, and nods in agreement to be called his sister.
Let’s say it’s a nobleman like him, it’s just these small people who have eaten their last meal and never finished their meal, they don’t like others to treat themselves as women┓(`)┏
"Girl." Before the villagers could adjust their expressions, Yang Xiaotao called Ye Anlan in a low voice.
Ye Anlan nodded to her, "I see."
After she said this, the villagers surrounding the four of them immediately turned their heads and looked at where she and Yang Xiaotao were in sight.
"It's those wicked things!" The young man gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I saw him in my uncle's village, that one with half of his ears missing."
Ye Anlan nodded, "Then let's start, don't reveal your secrets."
Before the villagers could react, the "rebels" who came around from the other side of the mountain road had already noticed the small group of people here.
The middle-aged man headed by glanced sharply at the three little girls in skirts in the team, and his mung bean eyes suddenly lit up at least ten degrees.
While stroking his oily square chin, he looked at Ye Anlan and the three wantonly with his eyes.
"Hey, they are all rare sign girls, and I'm going to make a fortune now." While talking, the middle-aged man drew out the knife from his waist, "Little ones, give me the donkey drive Take down all the people in the car!"
The villagers tensed up subconsciously. Ye Anlan was afraid that they would get used to resistance and would subconsciously find out the knives and sticks hidden in the donkey cart to **** with others, so she hugged her knees and squatted down, pretending to be trembling very pompously, while Shouting in a shrill voice: "Forgive me, Junye—we are just fleeing famine, not bad people—"
Villagers:
Li Jing, who almost laughed out loud, couldn't do the original squatting movement, so he just cupped his hands at the "rebels" with green eyes, "Yes, Mr. Jun, we are not bad people."
He held back his laughter and endured it so hard, his body was shaking slightly all the time. People who didn't know saw it and thought he was shaking uncontrollably because of fear.
Wei Zhen and Yang Xiaotao, who were hiding behind the two of them, stood there stupidly, looking as if they were frightened, but in fact, one was as steady as an old dog and calm, and the other was overwhelmed by her girl's flamboyant performance. I was so shocked that I didn't even care about putting on a show, I just complained crazily in my heart-I didn't expect you to be such a girl from my family.
The middle-aged man headed by said "Yo", "There is still a young scholar with a fair face. It seems that you guys have a lot of background. You weren't a country gentleman in the past, right?"
The poor can't afford the scholars, and they can take the scholars to escape from the famine. The scholars are still dressed upright and elegant, and they also bring a donkey cart full of things. These rebels preconceived them as a Lao Cai, a landowner with a rich family background.
Ye Anlan saw him walking towards Li Jing in three steps at a time, the knife in his hand was about to hit Li Jing's neck, so she hurriedly pretended to be flustered, calling "Sister", He pulled Li Jing hard behind him.
