Seongnam Wharf.

When Zhang Shuo got off Lao Wutou's boat, he was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the entire wharf was densely packed with people, these people were not merchants, but groups of refugees with their families and ragged clothes!

"Doctor Zhang, don't go from this side, there are some hungry and faint-eyed victims here, and it will be troublesome for you to walk in like this!" Just when Zhang Shuo was stunned, Wu San rushed out from behind him and said, "Let's take a detour from the riverside to the east gate, where there are officials guarding it, and no disaster victims dare to make trouble." ”

Zhang Shuo also knows that these refugees look pitiful now, but they are also dangerous.

He saw that the refugees in front of him had blocked the entire street, not to mention thousands of people, and if he walked in rashly, he would probably be killed by the hungry refugees in some corner.

This is not Zhang Shuo's imagination, but human nature is like this, these refugees from Yiyang County to here, what they have experienced along the way, needless to say, Zhang Shuo also knows that in this era when the central ruling power is only limited to cities and towns, the refugees who wander abroad have no help from the imperial court, in addition to facing wild beasts, they also have to face dangerous human hearts!

"Lai Wazi is right! The old man saw with his own eyes that yesterday a merchant pulled a boatload of herbs, but before he could go ashore, he was strengthened by these refugees!" Speaking of this, Lao Wu paused, glanced at the refugees in front of him with palpitations, and then said, "These victims are really hungry and eat everything, those herbs are so bitter, they are eaten up by the victims in a blink of an eye!"

"In that case, let's take a detour!"

Zhang Shuo looked at those refugees, they were like penguins in the Antarctic winter, one by one with their heads down, huddled together in twos and threes, and everyone's face carried a kind of indifference, which was a kind of indifference that looked down on life and death.

They walked around the river to the east of the city, and when they entered the city, they could still meet refugees from the streets, leaning against the corners of the walls, staring at the pedestrians with red eyes.

Wu San and Wu Luo went to the county office, and Zhang Shuo was going to go to the grain store to buy some grain, but when he arrived at the grain store, he found that there was a sell-out sign hanging at the door of the grain store.

At first, Zhang Shuo thought that it was just this grain store that had sold out of grain, but after turning around the three or five grain shops in the city, he found that these grain shops were all hanging signs, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Dare to ask the old man, why are all the grain shops in the city closed?" On the way, Zhang Shuo stopped an old man who was strolling down the street.

"Hehe, Housheng, you're not from the city!" the old man smiled and said, "Yesterday, the victims entered the city, and all the grain shops in the city were looted overnight, and even the guys who looked at the shops died!

When Zhang Shuo heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Does the old man know where to buy food?"

"If you want to buy grain, you have to go to the county government to find someone as a guarantee, and then go to the government treasury to pay money for food. The old man pointed in the direction of the county government and said, "However, when you buy grain in the treasury, you can only take one person for ten days at a time, and you can't buy more." ”

"Thank you for telling me. Zhang Shuo thanked him, and after thanking the old man, he immediately walked in the direction of the county office.

After learning about Zhang Shuo's situation, Wu San immediately patted his chest and promised, saying that he could leave the matter of buying grain to him.

I have to say that Wu San has been in the city for so long, although he is mixed with some snakes and rats, but there are always some ways.

Soon after, Wu San led Zhang Shuo to an alley, which was lined with a three-zhang high wall made of bluestone, and Zhang Shuo guessed that the people living here were either rich or noble!

The two turned a corner in the alley, and suddenly the surrounding scenery changed, and a small wooden door appeared on the high wall on one side, the small door was only one and a half feet high, and the width could only accommodate one person to pass through, which seemed to be the back door of a large family.

"Knock knock!" Wu San stepped forward and knocked on the small wooden door, as if he often came here.

"Crunch-" Just after Wu San knocked twice, the small wooden door opened, and an old man with gray hair poked his head out of the door.

"Who am I, it turned out to be Wu Laosan, what is the matter with you coming here?" As soon as the old man saw Wu San, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he was driving away the evil guest.

"Hehe, old man, I'm not here to find you, is your son-in-law here?" Wu San didn't care about the old man's cynicism at all, but said very arrogantly.

"Hmph! my son-in-law is not here!" the old man snorted coldly, and then closed the wooden door, making Wu San in front of the door touch his nose.

"Lao Tzu, I know that you are framing me, hurry up, call your son-in-law over, I have something urgent to do!" The old man's actions made Wu San feel very faceless, and then he shouted through the wooden door.

Zhang Shuo looked strange on the side, looking at the situation, Wu San should know the son of this house, and the people in this mansion also know Wu San, but Wu San didn't go through the front door when he was looking for this son, which is more strange.

Just after Wu San persevered and scolded for about half a moment, the old man in the door finally couldn't help it, and he shouted to Wu San through the wooden door, "Okay, okay! I'll go and invite Gongzi to come, you don't want to talk nonsense!"

Wu San was overjoyed when he heard this, and sure enough, he stopped scolding, and after a while, the small wooden door was opened again, and a young man wearing a blue robe with a ring around his waist ran out of it happily.

"Ninth brother!" Wu San saw someone coming and immediately greeted him, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to die!"

"Third brother, why do you have time to come and see me?" The young man seemed to have a lot of respect for Wu San, and when he heard Wu San's words, he was immediately excited.

"Hey, don't mention it, I went up the mountain to hunt a few days ago, but I fell and injured my leg, and now I can just get off the ground. Wu San said with some regret.

"Really?" The boy's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately looked towards Wu San's legs.

"Oh, the ninth brother doesn't have to worry, the third brother's injury has been cured by Doctor Zhang!" Saying that, Wu San pulled Brother Gongzi to Zhang Shuo and said to him, "Come, this is Doctor Zhang, with excellent medical skills, he can live and die people, flesh and bones!"

"Divine Doctor Zhang!" After listening to Wu San's words, Brother Gongzi immediately bowed to Zhang Shuo.

"Don't dare to be! Divine doctors don't dare to be!" Zhang Shuo hurriedly helped Brother Gongzi up, he knew that most of today's food problems would fall on this Brother Gongzi.

Sure enough, after Wu San introduced Zhang Shuo's identity, he spoke, "Ninth brother, the third brother came today to ask you to do something." ”

"The third brother's business is the younger brother's business, no matter what, as long as the younger brother can do it, he will do his best!"

Wu San smiled and said about the grain, and the boy ran back to the yard without saying a word, and in less than half an hour, two servants walked out carrying two bags of corn.

Zhang Shuo didn't expect that the problem of food would be solved by Wu San so easily, two bags of corn were enough for him to eat for half a year, just like that, the two of them carried the grain, went out of the city from the east gate, got on Wu Luo's boat directly by the river, and returned to Huangxi Village.
