"Is it there?"

"It's about to arrive, there is the Xuzhou boundary in front, after the Xuzhou boundary, everything is fine!"

Hearing his father say this, Ai Hu gritted his teeth and took a few steps.

The last half of the cake was eaten last night, and the family of three only got a small piece two fingers wide each, which was really not full.

Originally, I wanted to see if I could pick up some wild vegetables and fruits to eat on the side of the road, but along the way, I found that there was not even a few grasses growing on the roadside, and the people who came before them had already shaved all the edible ones.

Even they were a team of sixteen people from five families.

"When you arrive in Xuzhou, you have something to eat?" After walking for another half a mile, the strength that had just been aroused subsided, and Ai Hu raised his head and asked his mother.

"There is food, didn't that Uncle Song say, when you get to this place, you will take care of the food, and you will have food and meat if you don't work!"

When my mother said this, she was a little lacking in confidence, how could there be such a good place in this world, if you don't do anything, you can take care of the food, and there is meat!

But the short and fat Uncle Song said so when guiding them to Xuzhou, and his attitude was still very serious. When they met other deserters, the same news circulated among other deserters.

Go to Xuzhou, you want to eat meat!

Because of the apportionment of the land, the magistrates no longer attached as much importance to the number of people under their rule as before, and some magistrates even "kindly" gave them so-called "escape certificates", hoping to send them away, so as not to leave hidden dangers on their own territory.

"Daddy, has Xuzhou arrived?" Ai Hu asked again.

"It's here, it's there...... Ah, it's really coming! ”

Ai Ping saw a wooden sign on the side of the road, and the wooden sign was painted with red paint with the words "Xuzhou is five miles away from here", and said with great joy.

They walked through the wilderness, and when they came to the edge of the Xuzhou boundary, they only felt that behind them, there was a desolate gray, but in front of them, it was a patch of splendor.

At the junction of the two states, Xuzhou Mansion has set up two sheds, and there are people in the sheds to answer, and dozens of people have gathered. Still far away, Ai Hu smelled a fragrance, and he sniffed hard: "Porridge, white rice porridge!" ”

It is indeed the taste of white rice porridge, there is a large pot in each of the two sheds, one of the pots is open, revealing a small pot of white rice porridge, and a chopstick is inserted diagonally on it, although it is a little crooked, but it just does not fall, which proves that the porridge is quite thick.

"New here? Go to the queue over there to get the chopsticks first, and then queue up here...... There are so many people here today, what the hell! ”

A hoarse voice sounded, and then a man dressed as a soapman came over and drove the dozen or so of them aside. There was already a queue there, about 20 people, Ai Hu looked at the pot containing white rice porridge, smelled the aroma of rice porridge, and the gurgling sound of intestines in his stomach suddenly became loud.

But Ai Hu is not ashamed, because almost everyone is like that.

Before receiving the dishes and chopsticks, everyone had to wash their hands in the stream, Ai Hu was about to take a handful of water to drink, but he heard the hoarse voice again: "Don't drink raw water, there are worms in the raw water, and if you drink it, you can get sick and get disease, but you can't enter Xuzhou!" ”

Ai Hu hurriedly put down the handful of water, then took a pair of dishes and chopsticks, followed behind his parents, and finally could go to the porridge shed to line up.

"Poor Jie, there have been no natural disasters in the past two years, why is the child hungry like this!"

It was a fat woman who was cooking, and when she saw Ai Hu's thin appearance, she couldn't bear it and filled the bowl to the brim. Ai Ping's face was full of shame, his own son developed this appearance, of course, he did not have the ability to be an old man.

In addition to rice porridge, two slices of sour radish were stuffed into everyone's bowl, and they squeaked in their mouths, and after eating, the rice porridge was gone.

Ai Hu, who was still unsatisfied, looked at the pot again, there was nothing in the pot, the fat woman brushed the pot, scooped up rice and water, and began to boil again.

"Come here, come here!" In another shed, someone shouted, but the pot over there was opened, and a large pot of white rice porridge was also inserted with a chopstick, waiting for someone to pass.

"After eating, you are here, a bowl of porridge for one person is to help you hang your life, you want to eat enough, and when you enter Xuzhou City, you are full, hurry up and come here!" Ai Hu was still staring at the porridge, but he heard someone shouting, he hurriedly lined up with his parents, and soon, a team of nearly 100 people gathered together.

"Listen, go along this road, there are street signs along the way, there is a place to serve tea every ten miles, and there is a porridge shed for thirty miles, you go straight away, the speed passes, don't delay here!"

The voice first counted the number of people, then wrote something in the account book, and drove the people along the road. Ai Hu was a little dazed, and a little longing, he looked at the person who commanded, his eyes shrank slightly.

Although the person who issued the order was tall, he looked old, that is, thirteen or fourteen years old, not much older than him, but when he commanded people, he was already calm and calm, and he had the air of a general. Ai Hu didn't know what the style of a general was, but he felt that the other party was more powerful than an adult, and he couldn't help but yearn for it in his heart.

The one who gave the order here was none other than Yue Fei.

After coming to Deli National Prison, he first looked around accompanied by Li Bao and others, then went to see it alone, and then left Diqiu to see everywhere under Xuzhou. It took a month, he saw a lot, thought a lot, and then asked Zhou Quan to come to the state border to help pick up the displaced people.

Of course, Zhou Quan will not refuse this.

Ai Hu was looking at Yue Fei, but Yue Fei frowned, jumped up suddenly, put on the beam of the porridge shed, hung on one arm, and looked into the distance.

In the distance, there was a boiling voice, and another group of people came, but this group of people was not like more than ten or even a few before, but a large group, not to mention two or three hundred people.

There are only more than 20 people in this porridge shed, and they can't take care of too much.

After these two or three hundred people came here, the people who listened to the restraint told them to wash their hands first and then receive the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly some people were not happy, they shouted that they were hungry, and after a few words of scolding, they were finally honest, but they refused to wash their hands. You quarrel with me, make a mess, and gossip, relying on a few people to maintain order, where can you fight them?

Ai Hu suddenly felt that his father's hand became tight, he looked up at his father, and Ai Ping pulled him and his wife out of the crowd and retreated a little away from the porridge shed.

"Something is going to happen." Seeing his son coming, Ai Ping said in a low voice, his voice a little helpless.

As the dispute became more and more intense, the two or three hundred newcomers simply ignored the maintenance of order, went to grab the dishes and chopsticks, and went directly to the pot to scoop the porridge and eat it.

"Where's the meat, where's the meat!"

Some people screamed while eating, and there were legends everywhere that when they arrived in Xuzhou, there was meat to eat, but here, they only ate white porridge and pickled radish.

"What about our meat, could it be that these dogs are greedy?"

"Look at the way they looked, one by one, they dared to covet our flesh and beat them, so that they could teach them to pay their debts!"

From time to time, there were such shouts from the crowd, which at first were only sporadic but later, the eyes of these people were not good.

Ai Hu was very surprised in his heart, he rushed here hungry, he was already very satisfied to have a bowl of rice porridge, why did these adults still feel that it was not enough, and they had to have meat to eat. He saw that the fat woman was also slapped in the face, saw the guy who wanted to help the fat woman being knocked to the ground, saw the porridge pot being lifted and the porridge shed being demolished, he really didn't understand why these people were like this.

"Daddy, they do this...... Why? He couldn't help but ask.

Ai Ping squeezed his son's hand tightly and covered his eyes with his hand: "Don't look, don't look, it's not right for them to do this!" ”

It's not right, but no one can stop them.

When he saw this group of people knocking the fat cook to the ground, Yue Fei couldn't bear it anymore. With a roar of rage, he rushed over and kicked the man who had taken the lead in attacking.

"Beat someone, beat someone, this guy is greedy for our meat, and he dares to beat someone, everyone beats him......"

Someone rushed to shout, but before he finished shouting, he heard a loud sound, and then, the knife flashed, and his head was directly cut off.

The one holding the knife was Zhou Quan.

Yue Fei looked surprised, he didn't expect that Zhou Quan would cut people without saying a word.

Zhou Quan's eyes were sharp, and his backhand was another knife, and the man that Yue Fei had just kicked over only got up, and was slashed to the ground by this knife.

Around Zhou Quan, his guards also pulled out their knives one after another, and without saying a word, they rushed into the crowd and slashed with their knives, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten people were chopped to the ground!

It was all the people who had just mixed in the crowd to make trouble, and this burst of slashing made the people who were originally noisy quiet for a moment, and then let out a shout and fled in all directions.

They started with a fierce momentum, and in the face of swords and blood, they were just false bravery.

"Hang the corpse, and if anyone dares to make trouble again, do so." Zhou Quan ordered.

The porridge shed was re-erected, more than ten stake trees were not far from the porridge shed, and those who were cut down were hung on it, fortunately, it was winter, and there were no flies, but their bloody and hideous appearance was enough to make people who saw it frightened.

"Brother?" Yue Fei didn't do it before, very early on, he and Zhou Quan teamed up to kill Manichaeans, but these days, he was used to seeing Zhou Quan's love for the people like a relative, and he was a little surprised to suddenly see a different Zhou Quan.

"These scum, mixed in the crowd, coerced the crowd to make trouble, we have to make an inch, we have few people, if we let them make trouble, we will not survive." Zhou Quan smiled: "Brother Xian, benevolence and righteousness are for the people, for their own people, and such scum is just beasts!" ”

"Brother...... Said yes. Yue Fei thought about it, if it really broke out, it would not be difficult for them to be in danger, and these gangsters would definitely coerce the homeless people and continue to impact the next porridge shack, and even destroy the entire Xuzhou homeless shelter system.

In this way, what they destroyed was not just a porridge shack, but a way out for hundreds of thousands of people, if these hundreds of thousands of people were desperate and rebelled, it was very likely that the entire Great Song Dynasty would be destroyed!

"It's time to teach some people a lesson, Pengju, would you like to do something with me?" He was thinking about it, and Zhou Quan said again. (To be continued.) )
