After the climax of everyone's shouting in unison had passed, the sect leader spoke again. "The five of us formed a group, the young and middle-aged went into the mountains to hunt, and the women, children and the old people went to the mountains to pick fruits and wild vegetables together.

Jiang Qianliang lowered his head and followed Fan Xiancheng stubbornly.

According to the principle of the sect leader's speech, he and Fan Xiancheng will definitely not be able to get together.

But at this time, if you are separated, you don't know if there will be any accidents. Anyway, he was wearing an old man's shirt, and his face was still dirty, and he wanted to disguise himself as an old man, as long as no one looked closely, he couldn't find it.

They were separated from the girl and the two children they had just asked, and formed the second team. Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng had never done it before, and they were afraid of leaking horses, and they had been following the girl step by step.

The girl didn't recognize her life, so she accosted her directly, "My name is Xiaoguo, now we are a team, you guys will dig wild vegetables when you are older, and I will go climb trees to see if I can pick fruits." ”

Jiang Qianliang was afraid that his voice and appearance would be exposed, so he followed closely behind Fan Xiancheng and revealed half of his face, and lowered his voice vigorously, and the two of them said in unison, "Mmmm." ”

The little girl left them and climbed the tree. It was really very vigorous, it was already very late at night, and the branches of many trees were looming in the dark night, and the girl was not afraid at all, so she climbed up to see no trace of her.

Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng had no choice but to lower their heads and seriously look for wild vegetables. The two children played with themselves, ignoring them at all.

Everyone's hearts are quite big, at least they shouldn't be exposed in the group.

The two of them gradually took bold action, digging wild vegetables, first of all, the two big men are not good at it, not to mention that this is the land that has just been damaged, it is a little too much to say that the grass is not growing, but it is really difficult to find wild vegetables that can be eaten.

Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng rummaged through and picked up, and found a few wild vegetables. Together, they are not yet the size of a palm.

Looking around, the two of them felt a lot more at ease. It turned out that no one had found a few wild vegetables, and they all had sad faces.

The harvest of wild vegetables and wild fruits was not large, and the girl who climbed the tree did not come down with her cheeks puffing down after a while, and there were only two small green fruits in her skirt.

The young men who were hunting had a great harvest, and seven or eight men dumped a mouthful of wild boar on a large branch, and several men carried it back.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this scene, and finally someone had a harvest and everyone could eat.

A few young men first carried up to the sect leader, patted their chests, and looked proud, and then they obeyed the sect master's orders with their heads held high and prepared to carry them into the city.

A few men in white went to open the city gate again, a few young men carried pigs and the sect leader in front, and the other people followed in an orderly manner, Fan Xiancheng and Jiang Qianliang mixed inside.

Finally able to enter the city.

However, the desolate scene in the city really scared Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng. All shop doors are closed. There were corpses all over the field, and the corpses were as scrawny as firewood.

There was a baby wrapped in clothes, and his mother was holding him to breastfeed, but the mother was supposed to be dead. His eyes were closed, his face turned purple, and the child cried loudly and no one cared.

In the silence of the night, the sound of fierce cries pierced the sky, and the people who passed by lowered their heads one after another, which was really ashamed.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was already too busy to take care of themselves, why would there be such misery.

Jiang Qianliang's eyes were ruthless, and he almost rushed out, but Fan Xiancheng stopped him and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" Jiang Qianliang calmed down suddenly.

Yes, he doesn't have any food in his hands, he has the heart to save the child, but he doesn't have the strength. The fingers were clenched into the flesh fiercely, and a lot of blood flowed out.

Tick-tock, with Jiang Qianliang's slow pace, dripping on the ground.

For the first time, Jiang Qianliang began to reflect on how failed he, the emperor, had done, and such a scene definitely happened not only in this place, but in the places affected by disasters all over the country.

He had almost lost his sense of the number of deaths and the loss of gold and silver on the recital. What he needs is this face-to-face, facing up to the cruelty of the cold reality.

But what made him even more angry was that the officials told him that he was affected by the disaster, and although he didn't do much, he also gave relief food and relief money. Now look at the people of this city. What about the money he allocated? What about the grain?

Those dog officials who are inferior to pigs and dogs will snatch food from the mouths of those who are dying of starvation.

When he returns, he will also give these people a taste of what he has seen as life worse than death.

Just cutting off their heads and asking for beheadings is cheaper for them. On the surface, they are all high-sounding, but in fact, they are all evil ghosts who eat people and do not spit out bones.

Jiang Qianliang was so angry that he almost crushed his back molars. In this way, he followed everyone for a long distance without knowing the direction.

Everyone stopped in front of the government. It can be seen that everything related to the court in the government has been smashed. The plaque was taken down and burned half as firewood, and the remaining half was in the embers of the black charcoal fire, occasionally sparkling from the ground.

In the lobby were a number of well-dressed people suffering from the epidemic, lying next to each other, with simple straw spread on the ground.

A doctor was busy walking among the crowds, followed by several young women who were also dressed in white clothes similar to those of the previous sect leader, and followed the doctor to do some basic diagnosis and care for the patient.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

Jiang Qianliang remembered that the unclothed people he saw on the road were dead like that, no one buried them, and abandoned their bodies between the country roads. And these people who are a little more decent can be treated by doctors here.

Sure enough, no matter how bad life has become, people are still different from each other after all.

Jiang Qianliang remembered that his Taishi had taught him before. As for the people, "they do not suffer from few, but suffer from inequality." "Even if it is a cult, in such a closed county, Jiang Qianliang can foresee that a riot will definitely break out, but the time has not yet come.

Sighing invisibly, the people here are already miserable, and he really doesn't want everyone to kill each other anymore.

The leader instructed everyone to remove a sleeve and wrap it around their mouths and noses to prevent infection. Then he took everyone to cross the lying people one by one and entered the inside of the county office, which was the place where the original county lord rested in the Hou Hall.

It was very spacious, even similar to the county government in front, and basically the people of the whole city were called together to stand in this hall without feeling crowded at all.

The sect leader stood on an octagonal table and began to speak with great appeal. "Everyone still has a lot of harvest tonight, we hit the meat, this is the divine power that the gods have given us to live."

"Shouldn't everyone be grateful to the White Lotus Sect and the Heavenly Gods! Harley! Harley! ”

Everyone hurriedly followed and shouted, "Harley! "Harley!"

Then the men inside brought out several large bags of rice.
