Out of the city gate, a huge noise rushed in, Yan Ran was puzzled to pick up the curtain on the car window, and looked outside, only to see that outside the city gate I don't know when, it has turned into a sea of people. As far as the eye could see, there were people everywhere, some standing, some sitting on the ground, and some lying directly on the ground...... These people all looked sad, and their eyes were full of despair. The ground was a mess, and there was a mess of everything. These people gathered together, and even if a few people made a voice, it was a cry of mourning.

Before the city gates, many men and a few tall women gathered there, trying to break through the spears in the hands of the soldiers, and enter the city in search of a way to live, but they were so weak that they did not rush away several times, but let the spears stab many people's bodies, and the ground was covered with blood, and the people's wails became even stronger.

When did Dayan's country become like this?

Yan Ran's heart was dripping blood, he reached out and knocked on the wall of the car, Huang Wang's stopped the carriage, probed in, and looked sad, "Miss, all of them are refugees here, let's hurry up, lest they collide with ...... in a while."

"This ......"

There is also this possibility, all of them are hovering on the death line at the moment, but whenever they encounter a little hope of life, there is no reason to let go. They have horses and carts here, for them, this is hope, if they know that their cart is full of weak women, what kind of murder and goods can't be done? You know, once the horse is killed, the scene is food, and the cart can also be exchanged for food......

Yan Ran heard Huang Wang's words, and also felt the seriousness of the matter, without saying a word, urging Huang Wang's family to go back quickly, the big deal is to wait for them to return, and then find some men in Zhuangzi to come over and recruit these people, and then they can save their lives.

So the car went out of the city gate, paused slightly, and then ran out quickly, Huang Wang's whip all the way, and always pay attention to whether anyone followed them, until they got on the new wide road built by Yanran of Luquan Villa, which was slightly relieved.

This relieved, everyone found out that they were already sleepy and embarrassed.

Even so, they didn't dare to let go too much, they just breathed a sigh of relief, and entered the journey again, until they finally entered the Zhuangzi and saw Xiao Wuji patrolling around with a team of people, so they really put their hearts in their stomachs, and the breath they had been holding down was finally relieved.

"What are you?" Xiao Wuji waved his hand and let the others continue to patrol while he greeted them.

Yan Ran looked at the back of the team walking away, and didn't answer him, but asked, "Brother Xiao, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Wuji smiled helplessly, his face revealing infinite bitterness, "Yan Ran, you are in the city these days, you don't know, there are many places near us that have been flooded, and now we are fine because of the high terrain." However, some villagers have recently reported that there have been three throws of things in Zhuangzi, and I suspect that those victims are making trouble, so I gathered some people to patrol around Zhuangzi day and night. How did you go all the way back? ”

Yan Ran was even more helpless than Xiao Wuji, waved his hand, and said, "Don't mention it, the gate of the capital city is surrounded by disaster victims, and they gathered there to enter the city, but they rushed several times, but they didn't find a way." We were afraid that they would be hungry, and seeing that our car was full of women, and if they had any bad thoughts about us, they didn't stop all the way and rushed back. It's reassuring to see you. ”

Xiao Wuji frowned, pondering for a while, "I don't know if the rain is large, if it is......"

Yan Ran knocked on his head, trying to calm himself down, but comforted him instead: "Don't worry, this famine is not a matter of a day or two, wait for me to think about it carefully, what to do next." After a pause, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Wuji and said: "Brother Wuji, you go to the head of the village, and ask him to count the total number of vacant houses left in the village as soon as possible, and by the way, check the surplus grain, and then come to my yard to find me." ”

After listening, Xiao Wuji saw that Yan Ran had no more words, and flew away reflexively.

Yan Ran rubbed her brows and said in a condensed voice, "Let's go back too!" ”

She still has a lot to do, she wants to understand the situation of Zhuangzi as soon as possible, and then make a plan, things have reached the point of urgency.

The horse's hooves clattered on the stone road in the Zhuangzi, looking infinitely ethereal, but Yan Ran's mind was in a mess, and he sighed in his heart and said: It seems that I am still too tender, if it is the imperial grandmother, there must be many ways at this time, right? Even my father should be stronger than her, at least I won't be so helpless, right?

……

……

Yan Ran's side followed Zhuang Tou'er to check the Zhuangzi up and down, inside and out, and there was another shocking news from the court: the Jiang envoy went out of the capital, was beheaded outside the suburbs of Beijing, and the body was hung in front of the city gate for ten days; At the same time, the king of Nan'an was sent to lead 100,000 troops to garrison the northern frontier to prevent the Jiang rebellion!

As soon as this news came out, Dayan's country was even more turbulent, and there was a faint uncontrollable uneasiness everywhere in the air.

According to the statistics, Yan Ran asked Xiao Wuji to take someone outside to recruit a refugee and bring it to Zhuangzi. These refugees are all from one family, and according to Yan Ran's request, there is no one who wants to be single or alone this time. Tugging the family has scruples, and it is easy to manage with scruples, and she doesn't want to put herself in danger when it is convenient for others.

Moreover, because all the people who came over were from one family to another, including men and women, old and young, she could make up for the lack of manpower as much as possible.

The arrival of this wave of people occupied two-thirds of the originally vacant houses, and the rest of the space was limited except for Lu Kun's rent. Yan Ran arranged for all the men who came over this time to go to the barren mountain next to them to build houses, take care of food, and come back to live in the evening, with five hundred yuan a month per person. When the men heard this, they all signed up for work under the leadership of the steward. As soon as the men left, Yan Ran recruited all the women in the Zhuangzi again, because it was already September, and the sky had already cooled down, and it would soon be winter, and it would be completely cold, and the women had to make all the clothes, shoes, hats, quilts and mattresses they needed during this time, otherwise it would be too late by then. The women also take care of food, and live in the Zhuangzi at night, with 400 yuan per person per month. Since then, women, young and old, have all been engaged in intense labor.
