Akagi finally calmed down in the early morning.

When the first rays of sunlight filled the street, countless windows and doors were opened, and behind them were hidden a pair or pairs of eyes with palpitations. The night's fighting frightened these ordinary people who had gone through the catastrophe. The events of last night reminded them of the riot more than a year ago, and last night there were many people hiding in the corners shivering.

Although the blood on the streets has not yet dried up, months of famine have forced the few thousand remaining citizens of Chicheng County to go out of their homes in fear in search of food. The streets soon swayed with pedestrians, struggling on the death line for years, making them want to live more than anyone else. No one was talking about what had happened last night, and the extreme hunger had left them in the mood or strength to discuss it.

Wang Laosan was also swaying in the crowd with his six-year-old son on his back, he had to get out of the city as soon as possible, it was already spring, and a lot of wild vegetables had grown outside the city. Only those who go out first will find enough wild vegetables to feed themselves.

Wang Laosan is a mason, more than ten years of craftsmanship, in Chicheng within a radius of dozens of miles is famous. He also participated in the maintenance of the Chicheng Prefecture and the city wall many times, and he played the role of a master craftsman. Like all craftsmen, his social status is not high, but whoever builds a house and a wall will invite him to come over, and his life is considered rich. It's just that since the snow disaster for a few years, no one has the heart to build a house and build a wall, and Wang Laosan has completely cut off his source of livelihood.

"Village Chief Qin has released grain! The village chief of Qinjia Village has released grain! Everyone, go to the county government to get food! At this time, Wang Laosan heard a shout.

Wang Laosan thought he had heard it wrong, put grain? Since Mrs. Wang left Chicheng, no one has released a grain of grain this winter, and no one cares about the people in Chicheng County, so someone will release grain now? And, Village Chief Qin? Qin Forget in Qinjia Village is a demon who kills people without blinking, will he put food?

He shook his head in disbelief and continued on his way. But he was soon amazed to see a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys with spears running down the street, and in front of each group was a teenager with a gong in his hand and shouting. The teenagers sped past him in groups and disappeared into the messy alley.

"Third uncle, is what they said true or false?" A rough voice stopped Wang Laosan.

Wang Laosan turned his head and saw that the person who stopped him behind him was Wang Tiehammer, the owner of the iron shop next door to him. This child is pitiful, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he relies on his grandmother to sell some oil tea to feed. How do you know that this kid has grown to fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is not tall and strong, but his stomach is as big as an ox, and he eats the food of three people by himself. His grandmother had no choice, so she sent him to the blacksmith shop to start an apprenticeship, and he didn't need to be paid, so he wanted to make a living with two meals a day. This kid is also down-to-earth, and he has been working for ten years, but he has learned a good craft. In the end, before the master died, seeing that he was honest and filial, he simply married his daughter to him, and the dowry was the blacksmith shop.

I don't know if it's the old Wang Jiajing's artist, don't look at Wang Tiezhu's young age, but he has a good hand. Not to mention hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools, even weapons are also very good, especially long knives and warps

The long knife he punched out in his hand was extremely sharp, not to mention, but also full of toughness, easily unbreakable, and very durable. The landlords around Akagi would find Wang Tiehammer to make weapons for their families. Even the Chicheng County Government has repeatedly asked Wang Tiehammer to build and repair weapons for the county soldiers.

"It's a hammer, why is your house broken?" Wang Laosan waited for Wang Tiehammer to come to his side, and asked as he walked forward.

"Isn't it, this starving bird's world, who else is beating the guys? The mother-in-law at home is getting heavier and heavier, there is nothing to eat, and her legs are swollen like pig's trotters. Third uncle, will Devil Qin give out food? Wang Tiezhu's face was full of sadness, and he asked Wang Laosan again.

"This devil, if he is not bad, doesn't he feed thousands of people? If it's not bad, I killed a lot of refugees more than a year ago, and that ruthlessness really scared people to death. If you want to talk about food, he also has it, can't he see that the convoy has been so long in the past few months that it has been pulled to Qinjia Village several times? I'm afraid he won't let it go. Wang Laosan sighed, how could he not hope that it was true, but at this time, who had extra food?

"I don't care so much, I want to go and see it. If there is no good food, the doll in the mother-in-law's belly will not be saved. Third uncle, let's go together? If it's false, come back. Wang Tiehammer bit his steel teeth, pulled Wang Laosan to turn a corner and walked towards the county office.

There was already a long queue at the entrance of the county government, and the citizens of Akagi County were anxiously waiting one by one. At the beginning, everyone came to take a look with the mentality of trying it out, but I really didn't expect that the gate of the county government was really full of small mountains of grain. Their eyes were red at that time, and they were about to rob as soon as they swarmed up, but fortunately, Yang Xuan had already prepared, hundreds of soldiers, and the people were honest when they went down with sticks.

"How's it going, there's nothing going on, is it?" Qin Forget walked to Yang Xuan's side, looking at the orderly team, he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

"It's okay, it's just a little messy at the beginning. Owner, with five liters per person, no matter how much food we have, it will not be enough. Yang Xuan was a person who was used to suffering, and he couldn't help but say distressedly when he looked at the grain flowing out like flowing water.

"Li Wang's family copied out almost 30,000 stones, enough for the whole county to eat for half a year." Qin Forget smiled slightly and comforted Yang Xuan.

"My God, so much? No wonder so many people starved to death, the food kept these bastards rotting in the warehouse. Yang Xuan exclaimed, 30,000 stones! That's a lot of that.

"Not only that, but the other supplies are enough for the eldest brother to laugh for three days, and you will know at night." Ding Chen on the side took over the conversation with a smile.

"Yang Xuan, the statistics of Dingkou in Chicheng County are good, which is the foundation of the development of people's livelihood. In addition, pay attention to those who have a skill, especially craftsmen and scholars, and be sure to investigate it for me. "Qin forgot to be right.

"Don't worry, the owner, this Akagi will be ours in the future, and I will definitely investigate it clearly. Now the statistics have begun, and these people must register their occupations, specialties, and remember clearly when they come to receive food. Yang Xuan's face was also full of seriousness.

Qin Forget nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Forget stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of grains next to him, all of them were fine wheat, the grains were large and full, the color was bright, and from time to time they exuded bursts of wheat fragrance.

Spread out your palms and let the wheat slide between your fingers

fell, Qin Forget felt a lot of emotion in his heart. People die for money, birds die for food, tens of thousands of people in Chicheng lost their lives for a bite to eat, and Qin Forget also came to this point today because of these. Looking back, the Li family and the Wang family, who guarded the mountain-like grain, finally ended up with a broken family, which is really embarrassing.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, do you know me?" Qin Forget let go of the grain in his hand and shouted loudly at the countless people at the gate of the county government.

People looked at Qin Forget in amazement, Qin Wang's reputation was very loud, but there were really not many people who knew him, and everyone was confused when they heard Qin Forget ask.

"I'm the refugee butcher you said, the big devil Qin Wang!" Qin forgot not to care, and reported to his family.

"Buzz 。。。。。。" There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone took a step back in unison, all looking at Qin Forget with frightened eyes, and even the grain bag in the hand of an old lady was scared off without knowing it, and several children were directly scared and cried.

Looking at the appearance of the common people, Qin Forget smiled bitterly, I don't know when his reputation can actually stop the night cry of children.

"I know what you think, but I just want to tell you that I, like you, am a common man who can't survive. No matter what I've done before, it's for this! Qin Forget raised a mouthful of grain bag with one hand, "Now these are all yours, am I a refugee butcher or something, we will see people's hearts for a long time!" ”

After speaking, Qin Forget turned around and was about to walk towards the county office.

"Rain, rain, wake up, wake up, wake up, there's something to eat, there's something to eat soon." At this time, a heart-rending cry suddenly came from the crowd.

Qin Wang turned around and stretched out his hand to push away the crowd, and saw a young literati holding a woman shaking vigorously. He strode over and noticed that they were no more than in their early twenties, both pale and skinny from hunger, and their clothes were shabby and patched, but they were cleanly washed.

"Ding Chen, go to the backyard and bring a bowl of porridge, don't forget to add some honey water." Qin Forget turned his head and instructed Ding Chen, "This gentleman, Mrs. Zun should be faint from hunger." Don't shake it, pinch her in the middle. The young scribe obviously didn't have much common sense in life, Qin Forget hurriedly reminded.

"Yes, yes," the young scribe nodded in confusion, only to stretch out his hand and retract it awkwardly, "where is the midriff?" ”

Qin Wang's face was full of black lines, and he looked at the young man in front of him speechlessly, "Offended." Human life is at stake, and he no longer shy away from it, reaching out and pressing hard under the woman's nose.

"Uh。。。。。。" The woman exhaled a breath of turbidity and woke up slowly, her beautiful eyes saw Qin Forget for the first time, and her eyes were blank and shy.

"Thank you, Mr. for coming to the rescue, Gu Feng is grateful." Seeing the woman in his arms wake up, the young scribe thanked Qin Forget again and again.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture." Qin Wu turned around and took the rice porridge sent by Ding Chen, "Madam Zun may be hungry." This bowl of porridge is filled with honey water, so let's eat it quickly. ”

After speaking, Qin Forget didn't say anything more, stood up and walked out of the crowd.

After feeding the rice porridge in the woman's hand, the young man raised his head and found that Qin Forget had disappeared, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
