Chapter 115: Refugees
After bidding farewell to the two people of the Four Princes, Chu Xiaoxiang and several people hit the road again, and this time they were ready to go to the Wind Country.
"To be honest, I'm a little scared now, after all, Princess Hui suffered a lot of grievances on our side last time, if we go to her territory, do you think she will treat us well?"
Helian Chen heard him say this, and looked at her through the curtain.
"I'll be there for you no matter what, so don't worry."
Some people are not ostentatious, walking slowly on the gate, anyway, they are not in a hurry, what happened in the Moon Country, Mu Xun has been passed back to the emperor.
After leaving for a while, Ye Yuntian said that he had something important to do, so he left first, Chu Xiaoxiang had long been used to Ye Yuntian being so elusive, and he would disappear from time to time to do some other things, so Chu Xiaoxiang didn't say anything.
When the people were gone, the three of them continued on their way, and as they got closer to their destination, they gradually realized that something was wrong, because they saw too many refugees, and these refugees seemed to have fled the famine.
Seeing their intact carriage, their eyes lit up one by one, these refugees were yellow and thin, obviously their lives were not very good, so they showed such an appearance, although Helian Chen brought a lot of dry food, but they did not give it to these refugees, because there were too many refugees, if they gave dry food to these people at this time, I am afraid that more people would come up, and they still knew the truth of Shengmien fighting Mi Hatred.
Mu Xun frowned and wanted to say something, although this was not a citizen of their country, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"What the hell is going on? How can there be so many refugees, logically speaking, the four countries are not peaceful now, and everyone should consolidate the national foundation. ”
"I guess it should be something happened in the Three Kingdoms, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Chu Xiaoxiang also had a little doubt in his heart, and then they hurried a little faster, and after driving for a while, they finally stopped and rested for a while.
After Chu Xiaoxiang got out of the carriage, he went to the side of the stream, and at this time, a pair of villagers came not far away, the villagers were yellow and thin, and it seemed that they had also fled, and the two of them were discussing.
"Otherwise, the daughters of our two families will be exchanged, so that they will not starve to death."
After Chu Xiaoxiang heard this, he first frowned, and then he was a little unbearable, he had heard before that when there was no food to eat, these refugees would even exchange their children for food.
It's just that he didn't expect this situation to be encountered by him, seeing that the two people over there were about to exchange, and the woman in it was full of reluctance, Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help frowning after seeing it.
"Won't you two be troubled in your hearts when you do this? Anyway, it's your children, so take it. ”
Chu Xiaoxiang threw out a bag of dry food at this time and threw it at his feet every day.
Originally, he didn't want to be nosy, but this kind of thing happened right in front of him, even if he didn't want to care.
The most important thing is that if he really doesn't care about this matter, I'm afraid that I will feel uneasy in the future, and every time I think about it, it will make me feel guilty and uncomfortable, so I still decided to give them a little bit of these dry foods, and when the man saw this situation, he immediately snatched the dry food and gave half to the woman, and then the two of them looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with gratitude in their eyes.
"Thank you for this young lady, the great kindness is unforgettable."
After Chu Xiaoxiang finished sending the things, he went back and told Helian Chen about this matter, and he felt a little emotional in his heart, and he would inevitably talk about it.
"Now the world is difficult, and now there are so many refugees, it is estimated that it is not easy for these people to live, and some people can only do this in order to survive, after all, there are still wives and children, and there are many people in a family."
Because there is a growing desire for peace and tranquility in Shikoku, so that there will be fewer people displaced, and if there is a war in Shikoku, there will only be more and more refugees like this, and then they will lose their husbands and sons.
It's just that they were about to leave after resting, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and then a group of refugees surrounded them, led by the man who took the food just now, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes with a hint of light at this time.
"A few well-wishers should give us a little more food, after all, it is not easy for us refugees, and if we don't have food, we will soon starve to death."
Chu Xiaoxiang didn't expect to encounter such a situation, this was obviously forcing them to take out the food, but it was not good for them at all, they had already given a little bit of these people just now, and they were not satisfied, especially the man who led the way, brought all these refugees over, Chu Xiaoxiang's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything.
A few people packed their bags and prepared to leave directly, the longer they were entangled, the less beneficial it would be for them.
"We don't have a lot of dry food to prepare, so we can't help everyone."
Seeing that a few of you are about to leave, this is one of the refugees who suddenly stands up with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Don't believe what he said, this group of people are so well dressed and carrying a carriage, maybe everything is in the carriage, rather than all of us will starve to death, it is better to fight hard, maybe we can grab food, so that our wives and children can survive this difficult time."
As soon as someone said this, all the other people responded, their eyes lit up one by one, looking at Chu Xiaoxiang in front of him and wanting to grab it directly, the faces of the people became more and more gloomy, I didn't expect these people to dare to do this.
Helian Chen directly pulled out the sword in his hand, protected Chu Xiaoxiang behind him, and looked at the eyes of these people, with a trace of unkindness.
"Come up if you don't want to die, and see if you can grab anything."
One of them was a little unbelieving, and walked up quickly, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to grab something, Helian Chen directly stabbed him in the neck, and then kicked it over.
Helian Chen didn't have these wounded, and the surrounding villagers, seeing that they didn't kill people, were a lot bolder, thinking that they could take a little more by taking this opportunity, and they all surrounded them, Mu Xun frowned at this time, and then directly killed one person.
Blood flowed out at this time, and the people around couldn't help but gasp when they saw this situation.
At this moment, no one dared to continue to make up, knowing that they would kill people, they took two steps back one by one, looking at the situation in front of them, one by one stunned.
In fact, the reason why Mu Xun did this was to deter these people, otherwise they would not be able to leave by then, and maybe they would continue to be entangled by these people, and if other refugees saw it, they would also take advantage of the chaos to surround them.
There are only 4 of them now, and it will definitely not be easy to keep these things, and there is still a long way to go before the next post station.
After these people found that they couldn't grab anything, they began to curse Chu Xiaoxiang constantly, and one of the rich men stood up and pointed at Chu Xiaoxiang's nose and scolded.
"You people are rich, but you are not kind to the rich, and you dry food are all scavenged from the people, and you have watched us starve to death."
Chu Xiaoxiang was originally a little unhappy After hearing such a reprimand, he looked at these people coldly, and then sneered.
"I'm not from your country at all, even if you are exploited, it has nothing to do with me, I have never done anything to fish the people, and I give you these things to help you, and I should not help you, why do you say that."
The people around him were silent for a moment, and Chu Xiaoxiang's anger was already rising at this time, pointing at the man in the lead and speaking.
"Just now you were going to give your daughter to others to eat, in order to survive, you can even kill your own child, I am kind to who will help you to avoid that kind of situation, but you repay me like this, it can be seen who is the wolf-hearted person."
Chu Xiaoxiang also knew that there was no morality to talk about with these people at all, and after saying a few words, he was about to leave, and then the carriage began to drive leisurely, and the group went on the official road.
Chu Xiaoxiang has been a little sullen on the road, although he has always known that helping others may not be rewarded, but he didn't expect to end up like this, and the uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger for a while.
"You don't have to take this kind of thing to heart, even if we help, we can't help too many people, we can only do our best to save the four countries from war, we have done our best, otherwise more people will be displaced."
When Chu Xiaoxiang heard Helian Chen say this, he sighed slightly, and after driving for a while, he went to the nearest post station to rest for a while, at this time the people in the post station were very quiet, and there were people in the post station in broad daylight.
It's just that these people are very quiet, as if they have encountered something important, one by one they are silent, and when they see someone coming in, they only raise their eyelids, and then they are like walking dead.
At this time, the boss hurriedly greeted him. "A few of you need to rest here, there are a few spare rooms upstairs."
Chu Xiaoxiang felt a little strange, asked in a low voice, and handed the silver in his hand to the boss by the way, and after the boss accepted the silver, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Seeing that a few of them seem to have come from other places, they should be very curious, why has the Wind Country become like this now, right?"
"Yes! I wonder what happened in the war? Or is there a famine or other human condition, what is the problem? ”
Chu Xiaoxiang had a curious look on his face, and there was a little doubt in his heart, after all, they had been here for so long, and they found that there were many refugees, and even ordinary people seemed very low-key, obviously afraid of being robbed by these refugees.
