Even though the dust was flying, as the army of disaster victims approached quickly, Duan Jian and the others gradually saw their faces clearly, some men and women, some old and young, some were skinny, like thousands of years of dry corpses, and some were wrinkled, but when they looked at them, their eyes were full of longing, which was the desire for life.

"Listen, everyone, stop moving forward immediately, or you will be killed."
.............
All the officials and catchers shouted one after another, over and over again without stopping, this was also Duan Jian's last resort, hoping to calm down these crazy victims again.
"Twenty Steps"
"Fifteen Steps"
Even though all the officials and catchers used their best strength to shout, it was a pity that the victims who had fallen into madness seemed to have no reaction, and their pace of progress did not stop, and this situation made the hearts of Duan Jian and the others gradually hang.
"Ten Steps"
"Five Steps"
When the army of victims was about to collide with the human wall composed of Duan Jian and others, everyone finally couldn't be as calm as just now, some people were full of horror and trembling, some people shouted, and wanted to turn around and flee back, but unfortunately they were tightly grasped by the people around them and couldn't move, while some people had the same face as usual, as if they didn't feel like they were about to die.
At this moment, not only Duan Jian and the others who formed the human wall felt panicked, but all the people present inside and outside the entire city of Hangzhou changed their faces greatly, and they all knew what terrible consequences would occur if those victims broke through the human wall.
"Lady, you can't go over, at this time, don't say that you are alone, even if there are a hundred more people, there is no power to return to heaven, let's go back quickly!" Just grabbing the arm of Su Wan'er, who was struggling, Aunt Xia persuaded with a solemn face.
"No, no, auntie, please let me go, I want to go and save him, I can't watch him die, even if I can't save him, I have to die with him." Su Wan'er, who was full of grief, struggled and begged at the same time.
It's a pity that Aunt Xia was not moved at all by her plea, but grabbed his arm and said harder, "No, you must not die, when the first Holy Lord entrusted you to the old body, the old body promised that you must not have any accidents, besides, as the Holy Lord of the Holy Sect, you have not unified the Holy Sect and let the Holy Sect stand again in the world, how can you die, no matter what, the old body will not let you go, even if you kill the old body in the future, the old body will not let go." Aunt Xia said solemnly.
Looking at Aunt Xia's solemn expression, Su Wan'er stopped struggling, she knew that in normal times, Aunt Xia might spoil her in some things, if it was related to her safety, Aunt Xia would definitely not compromise easily.
Turning her head to look at the person who formed the human wall not far away, Su Wan'er didn't know what she thought, and a smile suddenly appeared on her sad face, and then she reached out and took out a palm-sized dagger from her waist, but her body was black, and then quickly put this dagger on her neck.
"Ah, you...... What are you doing, put the dragon-killing dagger down quickly, and be careful of hurting yourself. Faced with this sudden change, Aunt Xia said in horror.
"Auntie, I know that you have always taken care of me as your own child, for so many years, if it weren't for you, I might have been killed by those wolf ambitions in the Holy Sect, I'm afraid the bones will no longer be found, if it's a matter of back, I will definitely listen to you, but today's matter, no matter what, I must do it, if you don't let me save him, then when he dies, that is, when my soul returns to the underworld." While holding the dagger against her neck, Su Wan'er said to Aunt Xia.
"You..... You..... You ......"
may be too excited, Aunt Xia said for a long time, but still didn't say a word.
"You, hey, forget it, Holy Master, the old slave has failed your trust, if the little master has any accident today, the old slave can only go underground to make amends to you." Half a day later, Aunt Xia raised her head helplessly and shouted.
"Okay, since you don't even want your life to save that kid, then the old body will also give up this old life, I hope God has eyes, otherwise, even if the old body dies, it will be difficult to see the old master."
As she spoke, Aunt Xia also let go of the arm that had been holding Su Wan'er.
"Hehehehe, thank you Auntie, I know that Auntie is the best for me."

"Three Steps"
"Two Steps"
Looking at the victims who were almost face to face, everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes, because a bloody collision was about to come, and they couldn't bear to see this scene.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that after just over a year, I would die again, but unfortunately my majestic ambitions have just begun, and I don't know what will happen to Wanjun when I die, I hope she won't do anything stupid like those chaste martyrs, and I don't know if I will cross again after I die this time, maybe it won't work, a crossing is already rarer than winning the grand prize under the insider, I'm afraid I won't have this kind of luck again."
At the moment when he was about to collide, Duan Jian didn't feel the slightest fear, it may be that he had already experienced this atmosphere in his previous life, but at this moment, his heart was full of all kinds of whimsical ideas.
People say that thinking is the fastest thing in the world, it is countless times faster than the speed of light, although I don't know if this argument is true, but Duan Jian thought of countless things at this moment, there are things in the past life, things in this life, and even things in the future, he has many plans, as for whether it can be realized, I don't know.
"Well, what's going on, even if my thinking is fast, it can't have been so long, and there hasn't been the slightest movement, can't I be dead yet, but why don't I feel the slightest pain?"
Half a day later, Duan Jian finally felt a slight difference, and then, he slowly opened his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, he was completely stunned, and then a huge joy instantly filled his whole body.
Stopped, the victims stopped in front of them, maybe their shouts had an effect, or maybe the victims were afraid of the swords in their hands, but in any case, the victims finally stopped when they came face to face with them, and they were about to collide with them.
"Hmm...... Ah, stopped, stopped, they stopped, we don't have to die, we don't have to die. ”
"Ah..... Hahahaha..... We survived, we all survived. ”
It was not only Duan Jian who was pleasantly surprised, whether it was the servants and catchers who formed the human wall, or the defenders above and below the city, the people were all shouting with excitement at this moment, I am afraid that only when they really experienced this kind of dying moment, they could feel how beautiful it was to survive.
Compared with the happiness and excitement of Duan Jian and the others for the rest of their lives, the victims who looked at them did not feel very good, because their way forward was blocked, and behind this layer of human walls, there were hundreds of steaming pots of food with an attractive aroma, but now, they couldn't eat it, and this situation was even more unbearable for them than having no food to eat all the time.
Even though they were afraid of the weapons in their hands, in the face of the fragrant food, some people couldn't help but shout loudly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, we want to eat, we want to eat." ”
"Yes, the imperial court let us go south to eat, and you have already prepared a meal, why don't you let us eat, aren't you afraid of the blame of the imperial court?"
"That's it, that's it, hurry up and get out of the way, we're going to eat, if you're blocking it, don't blame us for being rude."
.................
At first, it was just some bold and rough people shouting, but as the situation progressed, some of the other more honest victims couldn't help but shout, and while shouting, they still crowded forward, hoping to push through the blocking wall and eat behind the road.
In the face of the angry shouts of tens of thousands of people, the catchers and officials who had just relaxed became nervous again, for fear that if they were not careful, these victims would go crazy again, but unfortunately, Duan Jian was not worried about all this at all, in the situation just now, those victims were able to stop, let alone this kind of scene.
After commanding a few officials to bring a few desks and stacking them on top of each other to a zhang high, Duan Jian slowly climbed up.
Standing on the desk, Duan Jian looked at the group of people in front of him, and he was both excited and emotional, excited that these people would be the foundation for him to realize his ambitions in the future, and what he felt was that these people were the most hardworking and kind people in the world, but because of their own reasons, they fell to such a tragic state.
Just when Duan Jian was looking at the victims, those victims were also looking at Duan Jian, although most of them didn't know Duan Jian, they could still see from the green official uniform on Duan Jian's body, Duan Jian must be an official here, but what made them wonder was why Duan Jian would climb so high.
"Palace..... Yes..... Lady, it's Duan Langjun, it's Duan Langjun, we finally found Duan Langjun, we don't have to rush anymore, we don't have to go hungry anymore. ”
When Duan Jian was observing the victims, all the victims also focused on Duan Jian, and among the victims, two thin people were talking in a low voice with excitement.
Looking at the somewhat blurry face in the distance, one of the people was full of excitement and dazedness, and he didn't even notice the tears that had unconsciously slid to the corners of his mouth.
"It's been more than half a year, he's taller, thinner, darker, but he looks more mature, and now he looks more official, much stronger than when he was in Chang'an City, but I don't know, if he can still recognize me when he sees me, I'm afraid that now I, even if I stand in front of him, he won't recognize it!"
"A certain is the county magistrate of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Duan Jian, here today to welcome the arrival of your neighbors, and I hope that your neighbors will support you more in the future, and thank you here."
After Duan Jian attracted all the attention of all the victims to himself, standing on the desk, Duan Jian opened his mouth and shouted, it was a genuine shout, the purpose was to let more victims hear.
Hearing Duan Jian's own introduction, some fear flashed in the eyes of those victims, for the people of Huaxia, the officials were high, and there was an essential difference between them and the grass people.
Of course, not everyone is afraid of the government, and there are some quite bold people.
As soon as Duan Jian's words fell, he heard a person shouting to him, "A certain Ding Shiyi Lang has seen Duan Mingfu, and he has a question to ask Duan Mingfu, and he also asks Duan Mingfu to answer it." ”
Hearing this person's answer, Duan Jian was not happy, and after frowning, he said, "Hahaha, okay, if you have any questions, just ask, if you know, I will definitely answer you." ”
"Thank you Duan Ming Mansion, in fact, this matter is very simple, since the imperial court ordered that I and other people who were affected by the disaster go south to eat, we traveled thousands of miles, and countless people starved to death on the road, and finally came to Hangzhou, and look at your preparation, the meal has also been prepared, I don't know why you want to send someone to stop me from eating, is Duan Ming Mansion also like those selfish officials, doing superficial engineering." Ding Shiyi Lang asked.
"That is, that is, if you don't let us eat even though you have already prepared a meal, you must be fooling us like those selfish officials."
"Who said no, the world is as black as a crow, and all the officials are the same, there are few good people."
.....................
Ding Shiyilang's words instantly aroused the sympathy of countless victims, after all, there was fragrant food not far in front of him, who could bear it, even if it was a saint, there were times when he stole things to fill his stomach.
Raising his hands high, Duan Jian shook it a few times, letting the victims who were talking about it slowly stop, and then said lightly, "Deceive you, if you want to deceive you, you only need to boil a few pots of gruel, why do you need to prepare these hundreds of pots of porridge and rice, and you should also know just now, so-and-so also added thick bone broth to these porridge and rice, you said, if so-and-so deceives you, why do these things, it is not that so-and-so dislikes money too much." ”
As soon as Duan Jian said this, most of the victims' faces suddenly became a little gloomy, and they bowed their heads silently, but there were still some victims who were not angry in their hearts, they thought that all this was Duan Jian's means, otherwise why didn't Duan Jian let them eat, but let them stay here.
"But since these meals are intended for us, why don't you let us eat them?" A young man sat on the ground and asked, and from the way he was panting after he said this, it was clear that he was exhausted.
"Who said that you won't be allowed to eat, just now so-and-so has been prepared, and when you come over, I will arrange for all of you to eat, but who knows that you will rush over, if you don't stop you, think about it, what will be the scene now, you believe that you can really eat food." Duan Jian said coldly.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
