Chapter 275 Shen Desheng's Growth
Shen Nanzhi was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. He really knew how to take on too much. Should it be his responsibility to feed more than 10,000 people?
Men, haha, don’t you think before you speak or do anything?
Shen Desheng doesn't know yet how much he will have to pay for this bragging.
"The most important thing now is how to rush out. Those policemen have weapons and there are quite a few of them. The dog official has mobilized the army from the county government. I think there are four or five hundred of them. If we want to rush out, I'm afraid many people will die."
Shen Desheng observed the expressions of the crowd. If they couldn't unite and risk everything now, he wouldn't force himself to step forward.
He just wanted to go home. He had no relatives or family here, so there was no need for him to risk his life.
As expected, everyone hesitated. The cowardice in the common people's bones made them unwilling to take risks as long as there was a glimmer of hope of survival.
This is the servility that the ruling class has instilled in them by boiling them in warm water.
"Go back and think about it carefully, and we'll discuss it tomorrow."
Shen Desheng was a little disappointed. He was still undecided at this point. He really was thinking too well.
Everyone sighed. Some wanted to follow him at all costs, but they were pulled away by their companions. If they died, their wives and children would be left with no one to take care of them. Wouldn't that mean they would die?
Although it is difficult now, at least the county government provides a meal of hot porridge a day, which barely keeps us from starving to death. If we resist the government, we will die in the end.
This is the cleverness of County Magistrate Jiang. He will not push people into desperate situations and can obtain the greatest benefit.
Shen Desheng also scratched his head. He was indeed not cut out to be a leader. He was even worse than his father.
"You just spoke so passionately, don't you think you are very capable? It turns out you are just a big mouth."
Shen Nanzhi's sudden appearance startled Shen Desheng. When he saw her face clearly, he burst into tears again: "Cousin, you came to see me? I must be dreaming, I thought I was going to die here and would never see you again.
Woohoo, I am so miserable, my life is so hard, why am I trapped here and can’t get out? "
Shen Nanzhi avoided him in disgust, crying like a grown man, looking like a shabby person.
"Stop crying and talk properly."
The other members of the Shen family were also excited: "Sister Nanzhi, why are you here?"
"Of course I came to see you. How could I not be worried after not hearing from you for such a long time?"
Shen Desheng was touched again, "Sister is still the best to us, you will be our real sister from now on."
"Didn't we kiss before?"
"True, but not as intimate as we are now."
It really is a timely help, and a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Shen Nanzhi dropped a package and said, "There's food in it. Let's cook some thick porridge first to fill our stomachs."
Four or five pounds of cornmeal, plus some sweet potatoes and pickled vegetables, are enough for them to have a meal.
"Are you going to eat it all? That's too extravagant."
"Just finish eating. It's troublesome to carry it with you. Do you want to stay here forever?"
"Of course not. We're welcome then."
I've been numb to hunger these days, and I'm so happy that I can suddenly have a full stomach.
When the young man had the biggest appetite, he cooked corn and sweet potato porridge, stuffed it with cornmeal pancakes, and ate pickles. It tasted better than any other delicacies.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Desheng's emotions were almost released. He said shyly, "Cousin, now that you are here, we have the confidence to get out. What are you going to do?"
Shen Nanzhi deliberately tested him, "You had a good idea, didn't you? Bring them to our village, why are you asking me?"
Shen Desheng was embarrassed: "I have no choice. I want to unite everyone to find a way out, but looking at their attitude, I don't think it will work."
"You are smart. Imagination and reality are always very different. Your father can be the village chief and the whole village obeys his orders because we are all family members and naturally stick together.
In addition, your father is fair and decisive, and the whole village respects him.
These people are different. You have only learned the surface from your father, but you haven’t learned the real skills.”
Shen Nanzhi saw through him at first sight. He couldn't say that he was a bad person, but he was young, inexperienced, and a little too immature.
Shen Desheng was also open-minded. "Then forget about them. Let's go on our own. I just can't bear it. The old lady who had always helped us died yesterday. I feel so bad..."
He had earned some money in the past few months, and with the subsidies from Shen Nanzhi, they had stored a lot of raw materials, which allowed them to survive until now. He also helped a lot of neighbors. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and failed to save more people.
Shen Nanzhi comforted him, "Her death was not caused by you, but by the inaction of the corrupt officials. Since you feel bad, avenge her."
Shen Desheng hesitated: "Can I?"
"Don't you have mine? Learn it well, make yourself stronger in the future, and protect the people you want to protect."
Shen Desheng's eyes lit up, "I understand. I will study hard when I go back and not let myself be so incompetent."
Shen Desheng grew up quickly and became Shen Nanzhi's most capable right-hand man in the future.
"We can't stay here anymore. I'll take you away first."
Shen Desheng said, "I have to say goodbye to everyone. I'll leave in the morning."
Shen Nanzhi looked at him deeply, "Desheng, I will teach you the first lesson. Face the evil of human nature."
Shen Desheng didn't understand, how could it be sinister? Who was sinister?
Shen Nanzhi didn't say anything, but hid with his men, and didn't go far, but went to the next yard.
After boiling water, cooking and having a big meal, two hours had passed. The sky was turning white and the morning star was high in the sky. A night had passed just like that.
Just as Shen Desheng was yawning, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, and the gate of the courtyard where they lived was pushed open by someone, who turned out to be soldiers.
Shen Desheng came to his senses instantly, his heart was colder than ice, he felt like he was being betrayed.
If Sister Nan Zhi hadn’t come, they would have been arrested by the government and would have lost their lives.
When Shen Desheng saw the people who reported the incident, he wanted to jump out and question them, why?
The officers and soldiers searched but did not catch anyone. Several people who reported the incident were also puzzled: "They were still here last night. Sir, look, there is still warmth from the fire. They must have escaped."
The officer was very angry. "There is martial law everywhere. Where can you run to? Is he being harbored by someone? Investigate the entire market and tell everyone that whoever dares to harbor him will be punished with his entire family."
Several people said: "Your Excellency is wise. We will definitely not rebel with them. Didn't you say there will be rewards for reporting? Our rewards..."
The officials did not make things difficult for them. County Magistrate Jiang had ordered that they should give them benefits to encourage them to report the crime. It was only a matter of a few dozen kilograms of grain and it could solve a big problem.
For some food, their family actually betrayed Shen Desheng?
Without waiting for the officers to start searching, Shen Nanzhi took them away. With Shen Nanzhi's help, they easily climbed over the high wall and escaped from this nightmare-like place.
