Chapter 332: Refugees from the Mountains

Changhe Replica World

Outside the mountains.

An old and weak woman and child with a yellow face and thin muscles walked towards Anhui County.

Although the war was over, the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people did not improve, but gradually deteriorated because of the loss of Gepo, the place on which they depended for their survival.

Although Niu Qushuai strictly ordered that the people should not leave the mountain, it was under the intentional connivance of Lu Qushuai.

Most of the people could leave the mountains and travel to the south through this road.

The unknown is obviously the most worrying.

Now that the flight has been made, the next thing that awaits is the threat of death.

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

"Is it the South?"

"South"

"I've heard that there are a lot of fish in the south, I don't know if it's true?"

"It's true, not only fish, but also lotus roots and lotus pods, which are all things that can satisfy the stomach."

In the crowd of people who were grooming, a child couldn't help but swallow hard when he heard the word "hungry".

Since being carried to Gepo by the yellow scarf, he has often been hungry and full.

Every day, when there is enough food, it is three bowls of gruel.

Later, when the tunqi camp arrived, Gepo was short of food, and it changed from three bowls a day to one bowl.

Not long ago, Guo Daqushuai, the new commander of Gepo's Yellow Turban, ordered that after the population was moved to the mountains, even a bowl of gruel became a luxury.

At this time, it sounds like something that can satisfy the stomach, not only children, but also adults can't help but show a look of anticipation.

Then I seemed to think of something, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Is the road to escape really so good?

Not to mention the difficulties along the way, nor how to feed along the way.

Just saying that you have to meet countless bandits can make people's scalps tingle.

"Grandpa, where are the lotus roots?"

"I—I'm hungry"

A child tugged at the corner of the old man's coat.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but be sour.

A look of grief appeared in the old man's eyes, and he spoke softly.

"Come on, do you see this in front of you?"

"Ahead? What's up ahead? ā€

The child's eyes widened and he looked ahead with all his might.

Everyone lowered their heads, looking very lonely.

"I heard that the front is Anhui County, Anhui County, do you know?"

"I don't know"

The child shook his head and replied to the old man, his eyes full of confusion.

The old man couldn't help but sigh and tell the white lie.

"Anhui County is a very big county, if we go to the city, maybe we will have something to eat."

"And next to Anhui County is Wanshui"

"Do you know what that means?"

"Where there's water, there's fish, and then we can stew fish soup and drink, and then you'll not be hungry"

The old man explained, his tone softer.

The child wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hand, although the fish is not delicious, but it is already a rare food in this world.

"I—I want four fish"

"One for me, one for my grandfather, one for my father, one for my mother"

"No, I can't eat enough, I need a lot of fish, let's go to Wanshui to catch fish later."

The childish voice sounded in his ears, and the child looked at the old man with a look of anticipation.

The old man nodded heavily, as if he was replying to the child, and as if he was replying to himself.

"Well, we'll go to Wanshui to catch fish later."

"But now you need to be quiet for a while, because the more you talk, the hungrier you get."

"When your father and they come back, are you talking?"

"Okay, I'll listen to grandpa"

The child said solemnly.

The people who were resting around couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

……

The aroma of rice is fragrant.

One by one, the people who were trimming swallowed.

Subconsciously looked in the direction where the aroma was wafting.

There was a look of astonishment in his eyes, and he tried his best to stand up straight.

I saw a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned figures walking in front of me, and they were the young men who had just gone out to investigate the situation in Anhui County.

Looking behind the figures, I saw a convoy approaching.

And where the smell of rice comes from.

Several men dressed as housekeepers drove the caravanless carriage slowly, pulling wooden boxes and galloping to the scene.

Bang bang bang......

The carriage stopped in front of the crowd, and the wooden box was opened.

I saw that it was full of gruel that had been packed.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes and sucked greedily with all their might.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes gradually turned red, and his breathing became short.

"Thanks to the grace of Anhui County and the county order"

"Distribute gruel for free, give you and wait for your stomach"

"If you are willing to naturalize Anhui County or Chaohu, I can take you to the county government to handle all the affairs."

"I will arrange a job for you then"

"When the time comes, it will be easy to let a family of wives and children make ends meet."

The voice sounded from the convoy, and several young people slowly approached surrounded by a man dressed in the uniform of a servant.

And they all stood still, because they had heard the wrong thing.

"This is the porridge given to us by Anhui County and the county order?"

"Exactly"

The official replied in the affirmative.

I don't know how many times I've experienced such a scene.

It is precisely because of the experience that I have developed a sense of admiration for the county order.

It is worthy of the county order from the Jia family, and he has shown many favors to the county.

I heard that countless refugees have poured in from the mountains, lest they disturb the order in the county. Therefore, while ordering the county to organize and train the army, he also ordered the county to open the treasury and the savings of the Jia clan in Anhui County, and at the same time quickly let the soldiers carry heavy money to buy food.

This series of actions made Anhui County, which should have been dilapidated, once again burst out with amazing changes.

The original withered and dilapidated Anhui County was quickly retold in the swarming refugees.

The most intuitive feeling is that the shops in Anhui County have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and all kinds of shops are dazzling and overwhelming.

The population of Anhui County is only afraid of no less than 100,000 people.

The official sighed in his heart.

"Time is of the essence, and there are so many refugees coming from the mountains, we can't stay here for long," the official said.

looked at a servant beside him: "You give them these gruel, if they want to be naturalized in Anhui County or Chaohu, take them with you."

"No," replied a man dressed as a servant.

The official looked at the young men with yellow faces and thin muscles: "I'll leave it to you here."

"Don't worry, my lord, we will take care of these things," the young man showed a grateful look.

Then he walked to the carriage and removed some wooden boxes from it.

The servant looked around, let out a long sigh, and strode away with the convoy.

The lives of these people are as small as the ups and downs in today's world. If it weren't for the county order's kindness, outside of Anhui County, I don't know how many bones would appear.

Thinking of this, a thought came to my mind.

If all the officials in the world are the same as the county orders, will this world be better?

There was no definite answer, only endless contemplation.
