On the outskirts of the capital, a group of officers and soldiers have recently arrived, forcibly expropriating land and displacing the people, but they have not allowed the displaced people to report it, and they have placed the displaced people in a ruined temple.

At this moment, the ruined temple was crowded with people, men, women, old people, and children, all of them frowning.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to die here"

"The home is gone, the land is gone, how can we live?"

"Yes, the child and her mother are still sick, it seems that alas"

As he spoke, an old man coughed loudly, his cough was heartbreaking, and his face was red.

In this situation, no one was far away from the old man.

Then I heard a doll say, "Dad, I'm hungry, when can we eat?"

The man's eyes turned red, and he said to the child, "You wait here, don't go anywhere, Daddy will go outside and look for it." ”

The man got up and left the ruined temple.

Everyone sighed again when they looked at the back of the man leaving, and it was even more difficult to find food in the current situation

They thought that the man who had just gone out to find food would definitely return in vain.

But what they didn't expect was that in less than a quarter of an hour, two officers and soldiers came back with a man covered in wounds, and they looked at it, wasn't this the man who had just gone out to look for something to eat with the little girl

What kind of mistake did he make to be beaten like this?

When the little girl saw that it was her father, she cried and ran to the man's side, and when she saw the man's injury, she cried even more fiercely.

The two officers and soldiers impatiently threw the man to the ground and warned everyone present: "You still don't want to go out and tell the officials about here, I tell you, even if you tell the officials, it is useless, because the identity and background of the people who enclose the land here are stronger than you think, if you don't listen to the persuasion, your fate will be the same."

The little girl didn't know what the officer and soldier were talking about, but she knew that they had wronged their father, and the little girl cried and said, "I'm hungry, my dad just went out to find me food, why do you do this to my dad"

The two officers and soldiers frowned, ignored the little girl and left.

"Girl, don't cry, hurry up and find something to cover your father, don't let him catch a cold." An old man reminded.

"Hmm." The little girl answered and found some grass to cover the man, and she said as she covered it: "Daddy, wake up quickly, the child is not hungry, the child only needs Daddy to wake up." ”

There are many people who silently wiped their tears when they saw this scene.

"Well, it seems that they are watching very closely, and if we want to escape, it will be even more difficult."

"We can't wait to die here, no matter how closely they watch, we have to try."

"It's a light word, if you want to escape, it's not easy to say."

After saying that, everyone fell into a deep contemplation again.

There are more and more people in the ruined temple, and a small ruined temple is almost crowded

Within a few days, many of the homeless people began to fall ill and have a fever, and the group of officers and soldiers did not ask for a doctor for the homeless people at all, but left them to fend for themselves.

As the situation became more and more serious, the officers and soldiers did not even dare to come to this ruined temple. When there is something, the most they can do is wear a veil and look inside outside

Within a few days, people died in the ruined temple, and the officers and soldiers had to carry the corpses to the mass grave and throw them away.

Realizing that death was coming, everyone was a little scared.

A little boy of five or six years old watched the officers and soldiers carry the corpse out, he quickly pulled the clothes of the old man sitting next to him, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa, why did they die of hunger?"

The old man sighed: "They are all sick to death, if grandpa goes, you have to live well." ”

When the pillar heard this, his eyes turned red, and he cried: "Grandpa, you want to go to the pillar to accompany you, the pillar doesn't want to stay here, I'm so scared here."

The old man wiped away the tears of the pillar with his sleeve, and said earnestly: "Pillar, listen to grandpa, grandpa is old, he will die if he gets sick, and you are still young, and the road ahead is still long."

"I don't, I want grandpa," the pillar cried.

The old man looked at the pillar crying hysterically, he was very distressed, he was reluctant to leave the pillar, but now that he is old, even if he wants to be by the side of the pillar, he can't do it.

"Uncle, you might as well run away with the pillar, after all, the pillar is so small, if you escape, you won't stay here and wait for death."

"I've also thought about this matter, it's okay to escape, but if I can't escape," the old man frowned and glanced at the pillar: "It's okay if I die alone, it's just that the pillar suffers." ”

"Uncle, the left and right are dead, why don't you try it for the sake of the pillar?"

The old man sat next to him and did not speak.

Until the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, he looked around, and when he saw nothing unusual, he picked up the pillar where he was sleeping on the ground and quietly left here.

It was so late, and there were not many officers and soldiers patrolling outside, and the old man was almost discovered by them several times in the process of escaping, but in the end they all saved himself.

Escaping from their sight, the old man fled in the direction of the capital with the pillar, he was going to sue the emperor, he wanted to rescue the refugees

The old man staggered with the pillar on his back, he did not dare to take the right path, but walked on the path, and when the sky was bright, the old man heard the sound of horses' hooves, at first the old man thought that the group of officers and soldiers were chasing, and then listened carefully, it was the sound of the carriage, and the old man was relieved.

It was none other than Hua Luo who was going to Nanjia Academy to find Yunchu in the carriage.

At this moment, Hua Luo was sitting in the carriage, she had been thinking about what Yun Zhengqing said to her, and after thinking for a long time, Hua Luo came to a conclusion that Yun Chu and Yun Zhengqing had a conflict, and their contradiction was related to the national society, as for what they said, she didn't know, so Hua Luo just wanted to ask Yun Chu for clarification this time.

The old man ran panting from the trail to the main road, and the man who was driving the carriage was startled by a person who suddenly appeared, he quickly tightened the reins, and reprimanded the old man: "Don't you want to live, if I don't pull it in time, wouldn't I have hit you?"

The old man hurriedly apologized to the coachman: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill me behind someone, please help me." ”

The coachman frowned, he didn't dare to agree to such a big thing.
