While Liu Dalu was thinking about how to gather the displaced people so that he could have more believers, a group of people were coming towards Tiejiabao.

This group of people knew at first glance that they were embarrassed.

There are men and women, old and young, most of the clothes on their bodies are tattered, their faces are full of vegetables, and their eyes are a kind of disappointment in life.

This group of people can be said to be homeless, or they can say no, at least not a few days ago, a few days ago, they had their own village, they had their own home, but now, there is nothing, a locust plague has destroyed everything, they have to leave their homeland in the background, looking for another way out.

Zhou Gui, who is about forty years old, is the leader of this group of people, he used to be the head of the village, and that village is called Zhoujia Village.

This is the characteristic of most villages in ancient times, almost all of them are villages formed by clans, the advantage of such a village is strong cohesion, and the disadvantage is naturally a bit xenophobic, but compared to the benefits, this disadvantage is not worth mentioning, because ancient people really rarely leave home, just like Zhou Gui, he is also a well-informed person in Zhoujia Village, but he has never left the scope of Qingping County, which is unbelievable in the eyes of modern people.

Zhou Gui looked at the tired and numb expressions of the people behind him, and his heart was quite heavy.

After the locust plague, Zhou Gui went to Qingping County for help for the first time, but unfortunately, several small officials he knew were quite indifferent, and in the end, Zhou Gui finally met a high-level in the county after paying a lot of price, but unfortunately it was useless, because Zhou Gui hoped that the county town could come forward for disaster relief, and the other party told him that disaster relief was impossible, and there were still so many displaced people in Qingping County who had not been resettled, and Zhoujia Village was not ranked at all.

Of course, disappointment and frustration are certain, he has realized that there is no hope in the county town at all, and the people of Zhoujia Village have to find their own way to survive, so Zhou Gui thought of some large villages around Qingping County, and finally, Tiejiabao came into sight.

Tiejiabao is really famous in Qingping County, the village of nearly 3,000 people is already comparable to a small half of the population of Qingping County, and the most important thing is that Tiejiabao has a very good reputation in Qingping County, and has repeatedly defeated the raids of bandits, which means that Tiejiabao is safe enough and has a large population, which means that Tiejiabao can accept people from other villages, and on the premise that there is no way to live in Qingping County, Tiejiabao has become Zhou Gui's first choice.

So, Zhou Gui came with the people of Zhoujia Village, Zhou Gui hoped that Tiejiabao could accept them, as for the consequences of not being accepted, to be honest, Zhou Gui did not dare to imagine.

When they saw the huge outline of Tiejiabao, everyone, including Zhou Gui, breathed a sigh of relief, and something that represented hope burst out in their eyes again.

...........

"Stop, what are you doing?" Tie Wei on horseback frowned and looked down at Zhou Gui's group, he observed very carefully, for fear that he would miss something.

Tie Wei is the captain of the first team of the fort, is the most outstanding son of the Tie family's generation, and is the armed force of Tiejiabao, when the chaos first appeared in Qingping County, Tie Yong advocated the formation of a fort team to protect everyone's safety, it is because of the existence of the fort team, Tiejiabao can become a happy land now.

Recently, there have been a lot of bandit spies near Tiejiabao, as the captain of the fort protection team, Tie Wei has to be vigilant, and now he thinks everyone is a bandit's spy...

"This strong man, the little old man's name is Zhou Gui, and he is the village chief of Zhoujia Village." Zhou Gui bowed to Tie Wei and said with a flattering attitude.

"Zhoujia Village? Which Zhoujia Village? ”

"Zhoujia Village under the General's Mountain, I don't know if the strong man has ever heard of it?"

"General Mountain? So how did you get here? ”

Tiejiabao is in the east of Qingping County, and Jiangjun Mountain is in the west of Qingping County, almost more than 200 miles away from each other, so Tiewei is a little suspicious.

"The village has suffered a locust plague, and there is no harvest this year, so we have to leave our hometown in the background, trying to find a way to survive."

"Then you should go to the county seat too, right? Why come to my Tiejiabao? ”

"The county doesn't care if I live or die, this strong man, the little old man tasted the name of Tiejiabao Leshan, so he took the whole village to Tiejiabao, and hoped that the strong man could give the village head, take me in, and give me a place to live and live, Xiao Lao'er and Zhoujia Village nearly 80 people are grateful."

Tie Yong pondered for a moment: "Then you wait a minute, I will go to the Ming Sect Elder, as for whether to leave or stay, I can't make the decision." ”

"It should be like this, but strong man, the little old man still has an uninvited invitation."

"Say."

"I've been waiting all the way, I'm weak and thirsty, and I don't know if the strong man can get some water to drink."

"No problem."

Tie Wei first asked the members of the Fort Guard Team to get a few buckets of water for Zhou Gui and his party, and then went to see Tie Ma and told him about it.

"What do you think of the people of Zhoujia Village? Could it be a bandit? Iron Horse asked.

"It's not like a spy." Tie Wei is very sure, the fort team has dealt with the bandits several times, the bandits are all vicious and ruthless, and there is a big gap between them and ordinary farmers, and the people of Zhoujia Village are all yellow and thin, and there are many people, it is impossible for the bandits to make up a Zhoujia Village that Tie Wei knows, as long as Zhoujia Village is the real Zhoujia Village, relying on the characteristics of the village in this era, whether there is a foreign population, you can know it when you ask.

"In that case, let's let them join Tiejiabao." Tiema didn't hesitate much, because this is Tiejiabao's consistent style, it can be said to be inclusive, Tiejiabao can have such a scale, it is related to this style, now Tiejiabao has half of the outsiders, and there are dozens of more people.

After a simple identity verification, the people of Zhoujiacun joined Tiejiabao and became a part of Tiejiabao, but the difficulties of the Zhou family still exist, because it is summer, it is impossible to farm anymore, they must survive until next spring, and then rely on their own strength to reclaim the wasteland, maybe after the autumn harvest next year, they can really gain a foothold in Tiejiabao.

At the same time, the Zhou family also brought precious news to Tiejiabao, this news is that there is already a locust plague near Qingping County, this news is quite bad, so that the people of Tiejiabao are quite worried, worried that Tiejiabao will also suffer from locust plague.

Displaced people like Zhoujiacun are a microcosm of the homeless people in Qingping County, because they are all from Qingping County, when they found that the county did not care about the life or death of the homeless, these people began to look for other ways out, and Tiejiabao, which has always been very famous, naturally entered the sight of the homeless.

Many homeless people are coming to Tiejiabao, and the officials in the county town are like wood, they don't care about this kind of thing at all, some mud legs are just some mud legs, and they can still turn the sky upside down?
