The fog was heavy, and the men of several families ran towards the city gate with their boys caught in the tide of victims.

Everyone is very anxious, running fast, this one step behind is a matter of one position behind, there are so many victims, who knows if there will be food and clothing to receive when it is their turn?

Qin Saburo saw that the surroundings were full of victims who were rushing to the city gate, and said to several adults: "I'm running fast, run to the city gate first to occupy a place." ”

Luo Wu said to Gu Jin'an: "Let's go too." ”

They have long been familiar with Qin Sanlang, and they are together in everything, Qin Lao can also be seen here, Erlang is too cold and unsociable, so he can only rely on Sanlang to have a good relationship with a few kids.

Qin Saburo nodded: "Let's go." ”

The three of them ran towards the city gate like a gust of wind.

Gu Dexing, Gu Qingtian, Gu Qingliang, and Tian Erqiang did not run, they were frightened by many things on the way to escape, and most of the time they followed their parents and were unwilling to act alone.

"Be careful, be more forbearant in case of trouble, and don't conflict with other victims!" Gu Dashan shouted behind them uneasily, and before the words fell, the three of them disappeared.

Father Luo said: "What you said is also in vain, your brother An'er is fine, although my stinky boy doesn't speak, he has a hot temper, if he encounters someone looking for trouble, he must not help it." ”

Qin Lao said: "There is San Lang here, you don't have to worry." ”

San Lang's kung fu is better than that of Erlang, and if something really happens, it is very easy to protect Father Luo and Gu Jinan.

Gu Dashan knew Qin Sanlang's ability, put his mind at ease, and supported the third grandfather with Father Luo, and several adults sped up and ran towards the city gate.

It took half an hour to run before I came to the city gate of Ha'an Mansion.

At this time, the city gate was already full of victims, and the inner and outer three layers surrounded the city gate, and the ears were full of noisy sounds.

A servant took a gong, and after striking the gong five times, he opened his throat and shouted: "Don't squeeze, line up, and get food and clothing with your household registration!" Whoever dares not to line up, who dares to make trouble, will be killed! ”

After speaking, he struck the gong five more times and repeated what he had just said.

But the victims were already hungry and red-eyed, and they couldn't listen to him at all, so they just squeezed to the city gate, hoping to get the food as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the government had already sent a large number of guards to patrol the city gate, and as soon as he saw that there was crowding and pushing, the little flag commander immediately led his soldiers to drag those victims out of the team and beat them up.

After beating more than 100 victims, the order at the city gate was finally much better.

There were a total of ten teams lining up at the city gate, Qin Sanlang and them were in the middle of the sixth team, and when they saw the third grandfather coming, Gu Jinan immediately said: "You guys line up first, I'll go and bring the third grandfather and them over." ”

Gu Jinan was smart, and did not shout loudly to the third grandfather, but quietly brought them to their queue position. If they were seen by the patrolling guards, they would drag a few adults out to fight.

After Gu Jinan brought a few adults, he said to the victims who were queuing up in front and back: "Uncles, these are the adults of our families, and we were queuing up for the adults before. ”

When they first came to line up, they told the victims before and after the disaster, although the victims were dissatisfied that there were a few adults they brought, but they didn't shout out, anyway, they, like Gu Jin'an, also came to line up in advance on behalf of the village, and when the people from their village came, they would also squeeze in, and everyone would not lose.

A few families lined up, but the speed of the line was very slow, and it took a quarter of an hour to move a few steps, and they came early in the morning, and it was not until late in the afternoon that it was their turn to receive supplies.

At the front of the procession, there were two tables, one of which stood two officials who were in charge of distributing supplies to the victims, both with knives hanging from their waists to prevent the victims from looting.

At a table sat two scribes with pens.

The scribe glanced at Gu Dashan at the front and said, "Take out the household registration, and if you don't have a household registration, you can leave now." ”

Gu Dashan hurriedly took out the household registration from the inner pocket of his clothes, opened the household registration paper, and carefully spread it on the table in front of the scribe.

The scribe glanced at the household registration and frowned: "Your household registration is not quite right, why is there only a piece of paper, why is there no thick leather seal?" Whose house did you steal on the way? In the last sentence, the tone was already a little unkind.

Gu Dashan was very flustered when asked, but he remembered what Gu Jinli had said to him last night, and quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "My lord, my mother died early, my father married a stepfamily, and the household registration papers of the two rooms are separated." On the way to escape from the famine, my stepmother wanted to sell my wife and children, and the village was in charge with Qiju people, divided our house into a house, and gave us the household registration paper of our house, so this household registration only has a piece of paper, and there is no thick skin seal. ”

As he spoke, he took out the documents on the severance of relatives and the posts given by Qi Juren, and put them on the table one by one for the scribe to see.

He pointed to the families behind him and said, "My lord, these are the villagers of our Gujia Village, and they can testify to the younger family." ”

The third grandfather, Father Luo, Uncle Tian, and Gu Damu all spoke for Gu Dashan.

Gu Dafu also said: "My lord, my father is the village chief of Gujia Village, and our family can testify to Dashan that his family's household registration paper is real, not stolen." ”

After reading the household registration paper, the document of breaking off relatives, and the post of Qi Mansion, the scribe had already stopped thinking about finding fault and asking for money. The official seal is printed on this Qi Mansion's post, which shows that the family met a noble man on the way to escape the famine, and it is not easy to loot his family's money.

The scribe handed the household registration paper to the colleague next to him: "Write it according to the household register." ”

asked Gu Dashan again: "Are you willing to go to Jiangnan?" Jiangnan is a good place, there is no shortage of food, it is better than He'an Mansion, if you are willing to go over, you can sign up, pay ten taels of silver as a deposit, and when the time comes, we will arrange a boat to send you over. ”

Gu Dashan was a little puzzled and asked, "My lord, didn't you say that you can't continue to go south?" ”

The scribe said: "The victims are not allowed to go south privately, but we are sent by the government in a unified manner, this is fine, it is allowed by the adults." ”

The adults above have a lot of opinions about the resettlement of these victims, so they want to take the opportunity to send some victims to Jiangnan, which can not only reduce the pressure on the Jianghuai provinces, but also take the opportunity to make some money.

When Gu Jinan heard this, he asked the scribe with a smile: "My lord, how much more silver do you have to pay after you get on the boat?" If the money we pay is not much, we will go back and discuss it with our family. ”

When the scribe saw that they had the intention of going to Jiangnan, he continued: "Pay a deposit of ten taels of silver first, and after boarding the ship, according to the head, each person will be given another two taels of silver." ”

Pay a deposit of ten taels of silver first, and then give each person two taels of silver, which is a lot of money, and they can't afford it.

Gu Dashan looked back at the third grandfather and them, and when he saw them shaking his head, he said to the scribe: "My lord, we have fled the famine until now, and we have no money on us, so we won't go south." ”
