Chapter 155: Outside the City
After Song Kai came back from the Yang Mansion, he went straight to the inn, asked Feng Tian and the others to prepare the horses, food, and medicinal materials, and went out of the city on the same day, he didn't let Wei Wushuang and Qingniang follow, after all, this time the danger was very great.
Song Kai, Feng Tian and the others rushed to the group of refugees who were pressed by the black, and the death squad recruited by Yang Jian had already waited in front of the city gate and followed out of the city together.
When the refugees saw someone with horses out of the city, they thought they were Yang Jian's soldiers, and they had come out of the city to kill them all. Those refugees who are still in good health and have some strength will run away.
In an instant, there was a panic in the refugee area, and there was a shout from an adult: "Run!" The soldiers are here to kill! The child's crying also rang out, and the screams and cries were mixed together, as if there was a war.
Seeing this shape, Song Kai knew that the refugees were afraid that they would get it, as for why they were afraid, Song Kai didn't think about it, the most important thing now was to reassure this group of refugees: "Don't run, we're here to deliver food to you!" "Song Kai knows that as long as food is mentioned, is he still afraid that the refugees will not turn back? At this point, all the refugees stopped where they were, and no one cried or screamed.
"Deliver food? Will you be so good? The city was not allowed to enter, and so many of us were shot! A middle-aged man about 100 meters away from Song Kai's team pointed to the corpses of the refugees under the city who had not been disposed of after being shot.
"Don't worry, if we are here to kill them all, we will bring more weapons instead of food and medicinal herbs." As he spoke, Song Kai pointed to the grain wagons that were being transported one after another behind him.
Seeing the trucks loaded with sacks behind Song Kai and the others, those refugees were still a little hesitant, after all, the refugees under the city who didn't shoot to death shocked them.
"Rest assured, everyone. This is our young master Song Kai. He's here to bring you food. Feng Tian's words just fell. There was a stir in the refugee area.
"Song Kai is the rich man in Suzhou."
"It's him, it's Song Kai, the one who distributed food to the refugees in Suzhou."
"We just heard that Song Kai, a wealthy man in Suzhou, came all the way to distribute free food to refugees!"
"It's Song Kai, we're saved!"
As soon as Song Kai's name fell, it seemed that everyone recognized him, and the refugees who fled instantly let down their guard and rushed towards Song Kai.
Feng Tian saw that the situation was not good, so many refugees had to rush over. I'm afraid it will threaten Song Kai's life, although those refugees have no malicious intent, but at that time, a group of people who had been hungry for a long time, they were like vicious wolves rushing towards them.
"Young master, it's not good, you quickly retreat!" After Feng Tian finished speaking, he took Song Kai to retreat and protect Song Kai in front of him.
"Listen to me, you must be orderly in receiving food, and you can't ......" Song Kai's words were buried in the hungry sound of a group of wolves eager to survive. A large number of refugees were heard crying and screaming in the midst of the running sound.
Song Kai took a closer look. In order to grab food, hundreds of refugees have already stampeded, and those who were already starving and dying have been trampled back and forth, their lives are in danger, and some of them are even lying on the ground and not struggling.
"Young master, these soldiers we brought can't resist so many refugees at all!" Seeing that a large number of refugees were getting closer and closer to Song Kai, Song Kai was about to hesitate how to stop it, when suddenly a figure skewed in front of Song Kai and kicked the refugees closest to Song Kai to the ground.
Then, several Zhuge crossbows flew out from behind Song Kai and shot several refugees who ran in front.
Seeing the dead people, the refugees immediately stopped running and retreated in panic, they were already frightened by death, and the food they saw was about to arrive, and they were instantly put back by death.
Song Kai took a closer look, and the person who kicked the refugee to the ground was none other than Wei Wushuang.
"Wushuang? Why did you come along? Song Kai nervously ran to Wei Wushuang's side, although her timely appearance saved herself, but the refugee area was not where she should be.
"Young Master!" Before Wei Wushuang could speak, Qing Niang jumped out of a carriage excitedly, and saw Song Kai is ecstasy.
"Young lady? You ......" Song Kai didn't finish speaking, and Wei Wushuang interrupted him: "If we don't come again, you will die at the feet of those refugees." ”
Song Kai was silent for a moment, looking at these archers brought by Wei Wushuang, there were fifty people, fifty crossbowmen, enough to deal with hundreds of helpless refugees, she was right: "It's me who underestimated these refugees, they are not human beings at all now, although they are human bodies, but their souls have been occupied by hunger, they are hungry wolves!" ”
"He said he was going to send us food, but he didn't change his way to trick us into sending us to death!" The refugees began to revolt, and the guards they had lowered at first were now rearmed, and there were complaints among the refugees.
"Listen to me, everybody!" Song Kai raised his voice and stood in the carriage so that all the refugees could see him, "Look at your feet, those who have just been trampled to death by you." ”
As soon as Song Kai finished speaking, he vaguely heard someone crying quietly, shouting a few people who had just been trampled to death.
"You don't care about other people's lives in order to get food, and you say that we are trying to send you to death. We killed people with arrows, but how many died under your feet? After listening to Song Kai's words, those who ran forward regardless of other people's lives looked at the refugees who were trampled to death, no less than twenty or thirty.
Seeing that those refugees began to be silent, Song Kai knew that he had a chance: "Now we are not only here to send you food, but also medicinal herbs, I know that most of you are infected with the plague, so I am also here to treat you." ”
As soon as Song Kai's words fell, there was another burst of celebration among the refugees.
"We thought that with food, we would only be able to live for a few days, after all, this plague can't be avoided, but we didn't expect Young Master Song to treat us!" Someone among the refugees began to speak again.
"We know you're a rich man, so give me some food, and we already feel grateful to you. But this plague is worse than no food, and you are not afraid of being infected? It's a matter of life, and I don't know of a rich man who doesn't care about his life. Some of the refugees began to question Song Kai.
"If our young master was worried about his life, he wouldn't have taken us to your refugee area at the risk of death." Qing Niang shouted a little unhappily, in her heart, she didn't allow others to question Song Kai like this, except for themselves, of course.
Qing Niang's voice, although small, but all the people in the refugee area can hear it, and the refugees are silent again, they feel that what Qing Niang said makes sense.
"Song Gongzi, what can we do to get food?" The refugees get straight to the point, and it doesn't matter what to do as long as they can get it as soon as possible.
"In this way, you first register here, get a sign, remember to be in line, and those who have registered can receive food on the other side, and each of you can only register once, that is to say, each person can only receive food once a day. Since then, we have been distributing food every day according to the registered list. In order to prevent the refugees from asking for more food and preventing no one from getting food, Song Kai chose to distribute food by registering the name of the household.
Then, Song Kai walked to a place fifty meters away from the place where he spoke just now: "We will set up tents here, and those who are infected with the plague and are not in a hurry to receive food can come to my side to see the doctor." After Song Kai finished speaking, he pointed to the open space next to him, "We will set up a tent for the distribution of medicinal materials here, and those who have seen the patient will receive the medicine here." ”
Song Kai said in an orderly manner, and the refugees also lined up in an orderly manner at the place where food was distributed and medical treatment was received.
"How many days has my child had a fever?" Song Kai patiently asked the refugees who came to see him.
"It's been two days, I haven't eaten, and today the fever is even worse. I ran desperately every day to dig the grass to get something to eat for my children, but within two kilometers, even the bark of the trees was stripped away, and there was no grass, so everything that could be eaten was eaten. "A middle-aged woman was crying, holding a hot child of seven or eight years old.
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Song Kai looked up inadvertently, only to find that in this radius of dozens of miles, except for the black and oppressive refugees, there was no grass on the land, and even a few trees in the distance were also bright, and the bark was fine, and from a distance, it looked like naked people running on the vast land.
Look at the refugees, all of them are as thin as wood, and their dirty clothes have long been unable to see their original colors.
"Don't worry, although this child has been burning for two days, but it's not too serious, I'll go and get food, he can get better if he has food, and medicine, we also have a stove over there, you get the medicine and boil it for her in time, and his fever can go away after taking the medicine." Song Kai said seriously.
"Thank you, Young Master Song! We will never forget your great kindness, and when this child grows up, we will definitely repay you! The middle-aged woman cried and thanked Song Kai.
"Also, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, you can't even take care of hygiene without food, so that the plague will spread faster. There are sachets next to the tent where the medicine is distributed, and you can get one for your child and yourself later, so that you can prevent infection. Song Kai continued, ignoring the middle-aged woman's gratitude.
Song Kai didn't come out to save people this time to be grateful, but just felt at ease.
"Thank you, Young Master Song, Young Master Song, you are really a good person...... Whining. As she spoke, the middle-aged woman began to cry gratefully.
"Hurry up and find what I say to do it, the time is precious now, don't delay saving this child." Song Kai hurriedly sent her away, after all, the queue opposite him was so long that there was no end in sight, and every minute and second was precious.
"How many days have you had a fever?" Song Kai repeatedly asked about the next patient. (To be continued......)
