Chapter Ninety-Three: Refugees

It is said that Lin Xiaoxiao led the wedding edict and the reward of the beauties and gold jewelry shells all the way west, the road was difficult, seven days later into the boundary of Xining Prefecture, only to see the village withered along the way, the thatched hut was frozen, the weather was cold and frozen, there were people with disabilities and hunger and cold, and there were old and weak people who froze to death on the roadside.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt desolate in her heart, and ordered someone to give some food along the way, but she had to hurry forward. I thought that if the time and space cage of this 'Red Mansion World' was not broken and allowed to develop, I was afraid that I would starve all over the place and corpses all over the field, turning this 'Red Mansion World' into a 'Miserable World'.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about his thoughts, and came to the outside of Xining City at dusk, only to see many refugees flocking to the city, but they were blocked outside the city gate by the soldiers guarding the city.

There were more and more refugees, and the sergeant guarding the city gate was overthrown by the refugees, and the crowd poured into the city.

Suddenly, arrows rained down on the walls, and many of the refugees fell to the ground, and the crowd broke up. A troop of men and horses rushed out of the gates, and they slashed with their swords like mowing grass.

For a time, wails erupted, and countless dead and injured people were trampled on. Outside the city gates, corpses piled up, like purgatory on earth.

And when he looked at the gate, it was closed with the men and horses who had retreated.

The refugees who came back from the collapse cried loudly, and when they saw the team of Lin Xiaoxiao and others, they were first frightened, and they only watched from afar, and then gradually surrounded them.

The accompanying guards unsheathed their swords, vigilant of the revolving refugees.

The commander of the guard said loudly: "This is the convoy of the national division of the dynasty, you can't get close, leave quickly, and those who dare to approach will be killed!"

When the refugees heard this reprimand, they all stood on their feet.

The convoy was still surrounded by refugees and had to stop.

Lin Xiaoxiao got out of the car, and saw a middle-aged woman among the refugees holding a little girl, cold and hungry, trembling, her eyes were full of horror, so she knelt down towards Lin Xiaoxiao and stretched out her hand.

Lin Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, not knowing what to do.

One after another, the refugees fell to their knees.

The woman cried out, "Please save us." ”

As soon as these words came out, the wails and cries were heard all over the field.

The commander of the guards hurriedly came up and said: "National teacher, according to the subordinates, let's enter the city as soon as possible, there are more and more refugees, and I am afraid that there will be accidents." ”

Lin smiled and said angrily: "Stand down, why say more!"

The commander of the guards had no choice but to retreat as ordered, leading the guards to guard the convoy vigilantly.

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the woman and the little girl and said, "Fellow villagers, you must all be the people of Xining Prefecture, this natural and man-made disaster came suddenly. When I enter the city this time, I will definitely ask the king of Xining to release grain for disaster relief! ”

One person stood up from the crowd and said, "Three points of natural disasters, but seven points of man-made disasters." And we pleaded outside the city for three days, and the king of Sinin would bring out a grain of grain. If it weren't for the war and the collection of food, how would we be starving? You high-ranking people will only fool public opinion and steal authority, but you really care about our life and death. ”

Another man also stood up and shouted: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and the princes who steal the country will be punished! We came to beg them to release grain for disaster relief, but they did not treat us as human beings, and said that they would kill us." Are there still few of our relatives and sisters who died outside the city gates? I see that these dozen carriages must be full of grain and gold and jewelry, so we simply reversed and robbed these grains and treasures, but I am afraid that there is still a way to live. Originally, these things were also looted people's fat and people's ointment, and they were all ill-gotten gains. ”

When the refugees heard this, they began to stir, and gradually they all got up and gathered around the carriage.

The commander of the guard was furious, and with his bow and arrow, he shot an arrow at the man who had stirred up the crowd.

Lin Xiaoxiao was shocked, and it was too late to stop it.

I saw the man snort, and he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and fell backwards.

The crowd was startled, and for a moment they began to mutiny, and then rushed towards the convoy.

The guards guarded the carriage and slashed with their swords, and dozens of refugees fell in pools of blood between the Susu.

Lin Xiaoxiao was in a hurry, jumped into the carriage, pulled out a pistol and fired a shot into the sky, and said loudly: "Blind dates listen to me!"

When the refugees heard the gunshot, they saw that there were many guards around the carriage, dozens of dead and wounded people under the carriage, and ten beauties came out of the carriage.

Lin Xiaoxiao said loudly: "I, Lin Xiaoxiao, promise you that within three days, I will definitely ask people to release grain for disaster relief." Do not make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

The injured man struggled to get up from the crowd and said, "How can we believe you!"

When the commander of the guard saw that the man was not dead, he came again to deceive people's hearts, and he was immediately furious, and he wanted to shoot an arrow.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw it early, and when he raised his gun, he broke the bow in the hand of the guard commander in two.

The guard commander and everyone were shocked, and they didn't know what kind of secret weapon Lin Xiaoxiao shot out.

Lin smiled and said angrily: "All the guards obey the order, take back the bow and sword, if anyone dares to kill innocent people, the gun in my hand will definitely kill him." ”

The crowd immediately settled down, and the accompanying ceremonial eunuch said: "Folks, this smiling monk is today's national teacher, and his magic power is all over the sky. If she casts a spell, not to mention you unarmed refugees, even these armorers with swords and swords, it will not be enough for her old man to snap a finger. The national teacher showed great mercy and promised you to release grain for disaster relief in three days, that is, he will do what he says, with the emperor and the queen of heaven to testify, and the gods to bless you. You must not make mistakes. ”

The man said again: "National teacher, she is young, where did she come from! You are not a liar, you want us to get out of the way, so that we can go into the city and squander our pleasures with the king of Naxining! ”

The ceremonial eunuch said again: "What nonsense are you kid talking about. Although the national teacher looks young, she is already more than 300 years old, she was originally a great virtue of the three Qing Dynasty in the South China Sea, a smiling layman, and the most living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, pinching her fingers and counting, knowing that there is a disaster in Xining Prefecture, so she specially rushed to save you. Now that there is a national teacher here, the king of Xining sees it, how dare he disobey the order to release grain for disaster relief, is he not afraid of being punished by heaven? Our carriage is full of newly closed disciples of the national teacher, knowing that there are natural and man-made disasters here, so we have specially come here to pray for the heavens, so that the heavens will soon stop this heavy snowfall, and there is no gold, jewelry, shellfish and much food. ”

As soon as the ceremonial eunuch said this, the middle-aged woman in the crowd who led the little girl said: "If the national teacher is really a smiling layman, we will be saved." The year before last, I heard from my dead man that it was said that there was a 'daytime meteor' in Kyoto that fell to the Grand View Garden, and auspicious rain fell from the sky, and then turned into a beauty, that is, the Nanhai Sanqing Dade Xiaoxiao Layman. Some people also say that this is a 'flying immortal outside the sky', and it is the Nine Heavens Xuannu who came down to earth. There are many people who know about this, and some people say that she is the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”

When the refugees heard the middle-aged woman's words, they all bowed to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart finally fell, and he was about to shout to the refugees, but a carriage behind him suddenly collapsed, and it turned out to be the horse pulling the cart that had been frozen to death by the wind and snow for a long time in the cold wind.

As soon as the carriage overturned, one of the chests inside fell, and the box cracked a gap, and the gold, silver, yellow and white things of the chests poured out of the snow.
