Zheng Yichen saw Erlang kneeling, and hurriedly dismounted, still soaking the corners of his robe with stagnant water, and helped the person up.

"Hurry up and be careful with the cold water. What happened to this flood?"

Perhaps it was Zheng Yichen's affinity that relaxed Erlang's vigilance, and he dared to say something in his heart, so he said:

"There have been floods in the past few years, but they are not as big as this year, before flooding at most some crops, but this year directly drowned a lot of people, our village head of the old woman Wang, because no one took care of her, watched her be swept away by the flood, when she was alone on crutches and wanted to climb on the roof, but did not have time. Moreover, we are still upstream, and I really can't imagine what the flood will look like downstream, and I can only see waves of refugees fleeing for several days! According to the people who have fled and passed by, their fields and houses are flooded, and corpses are strewn all over the field. ”

Jiro paused here as he seemed a little unbearable, and then continued:

"After the flood in our village, most of them are still safe, and many people are afraid that the flood will come again, so they all flee to the outside. I don't know what other villages are like! Where the refugees passed, everyone rushed to grab whatever they could eat. ”

When Zheng Yichen heard this, he sighed in his heart, and then Zheng Yichen asked the question he really cared about:

"Why don't you go? After all, your house is almost completely submerged in water. And I don't know how long you can eat the food stored at home?"

Asked this, Erlang's expression was obviously a little unnatural, he thought about it, sighed and said:

"Don't tell you the truth, we are all honest peasant families, and the whole family lives on a few acres of land at home, and if we leave the land, what will we eat? Save a little bit of food at home and eat it for another seven days at most. There are also some more affluent people, who only rely on dry food, and can only live for seven days at most. If you want to go somewhere else, you must go before the fleeing crowd comes! Otherwise, they will be very hungry and will rob everything!"

Zheng Yichen's face was already a little ugly at this time, and there was a lot of haze in his eyes, seven days, relying on the current mobilization system and the government, it was impossible to solve the problem of flooding, everyone saw that Zheng Yichen no longer spoke, they were a little uneasy, Zheng Yichen smiled and exchanged a few words, and then went out and rode away.

Zheng Yichen was very fast and walked in front, Xiao Jian walked a few steps quickly to catch up, and asked, "Third Prince, are we going to Fengcheng next?"

Zheng Yichen took the reins, looked at the continuous refugees, and said, "Yes, go to Fengcheng." With a slight bow, he whipped the horsewhip fiercely, and galloped away like a feather arrow.

However, as soon as he had not gone far, he saw a large group of fleeing people in the south, about a hundred or so people, scurrying around like wild horses without borders, rushing towards this side in a mighty way. The crowd turned pale one by one, some carrying bamboo poles and straddle bamboo baskets, some carrying ragged clothes on their backs, and some were in a hurry and had already lost their attention, so they could only flee with the large team without purpose.

When the water is difficult downstream, the people can only rush to the place where the water is small upstream! But where do they know, the upstream is no better! The two sides see each other together!

"Don't panic, everyone!" Zheng Yichen didn't care about hurrying, worried about hitting someone, hurriedly tightened the horse rope, forcibly stopped the horse and landed, and immediately shouted coldly. However, one man's voice was too weak, and he was drowned out by the cries of the crowd, and he couldn't hear half of it. Women, children, and men shouted and cursed in all kinds of ways, and they were all in a mess.

All the people who had no choice but to flee had already fallen into a deep panic, and the few soldiers who followed behind them looked a little worried. Under the impact of the crowd, there were only a few people, and they could only barely maintain order and stop in front of Zheng Yichen to prevent him from being hurt.

Xiao Jian hurriedly came over: "Childe, leave them alone! It's important to go to Fengcheng first! The subordinates are worried that this group of people will come to snatch them if they are red-eyed! A few subordinates are difficult to resist!"

However, the people, who were already down and vulnerable, didn't know which one was crazy, and when they saw Zheng Yichen's neat clothes and extraordinary clothes, they immediately took the lead in shouting: "It's a rich man! Everyone go find him! They must have something to eat!"

With a loud shout, after the people's families were destroyed, in their opinion, the only ones who could save them at this time were these rich people, they must have money and food on them, if they didn't rob them, they would die by themselves. In order to survive, one by one, their faces suddenly showed ruthlessness, and they stared at Zheng Yichen and the others viciously.

"Grab it!" I don't know who got the head, shouted, and the people instantly became crazy, their eyes were red, and they could no longer care about fear, and the hope of survival burned their only remaining minds, and they all surrounded them. As soon as they touched the soldiers on the periphery, they pushed and pulled the soldiers, and frantically grabbed everything they could find, whether it was silver taels or food, even armor and clothing, they were torn to pieces, this one was just grabbed, and that one was taken away one after another.

Some of the people, armed with sticks, knives, guns and sharp weapons, did not even hesitate, their faces were wildly distorted, and they knocked down and killed those who had been snatched in front of them, whether they were useful or useless, and then took them from their hands. Regardless of whether it was a soldier, a woman or a child in front of them, everything became their hope of life at this time.

Zheng Yichen was protected by a few soldiers in the back and kept retreating, and the first few had been stripped naked by the crowd and drowned in it.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, the corners of Zheng Yichen's eyes were full of cold light. Xiao Jian held a sword in front of him, a little at a loss: "Childe, you run away first, this group of people is crazy, a few of us can't stop them!"

Zheng Yichen listened, suddenly dodged, like a sharp arrow, Xiao Jian only saw a flower in front of him, the sword in his hand had been taken away, he jumped up, and jumped in front of a strong man. This strong man, just when the crowd was chaotic and looting, had already hacked several unarmed people to death with a big knife.

Covered with frost and cold, Zheng Yichen slashed out with a sword like a flash of cold light, and suddenly, a stream of hot blood spurted out of the strong man's neck, and red blood flew everywhere, and the person with the red eyes who followed him was sprayed all over his face, and the blood thrown out of the sword body hit the bodies of the people around him.

This cruel blood red suddenly made the crazy crowd stop moving, and their faces became more frightened. At this moment, blood drenched them. It's more terrible to die here than to be a small life! At this moment, snatching these things is to live, but if you die before you can grab them, then what else is there to rob?

"Whoever of you dares to take a step forward will take your life now!" Zheng Yichen's voice was full of coldness, revealing a trembling and coldness that made people grow from their bones.
