Wang Pingping nodded at Xu Yue in the car, Xu Yue took out a water bladder and a bag of dry food from the compartment storage box and got off the car, and gave food and water to the thirteen people in front of her.

The thirteen people were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out the container they brought with them to come over to receive water, and they were grateful, and wiped their tears while thanking them.

This world is too difficult, and everyone has exhausted all their strength just to take care of themselves and their families, and even those with good intentions have no spare energy to help others.

Xu Yue's hand looked at the small skin water bladder with a surprisingly large capacity, and each of the thirteen people filled a bamboo tube.

The dry food in the bag is a cake made with fine noodles mixed with coarse grains, with salt and chives, and if it is difficult to cook on the fire, it can be used to bake or eat directly.

The victims looked at the bread in their hands, couldn't help but put it down and eat it again, hurriedly stuffed it into their mouths, accidentally choked, and were reluctant to spit it out, covering it with their hands, and slowing it down for a long time before they remembered and swallowed it.

Xu Yue's family leaned on the side of the carriage and watched them sit on the side of the road and chew on them, looking at each other, thinking of the scene when their family fled.

Compared with them, this disaster victim is considered lucky, with this tube of water and two flatbreads, they can last for two or three days, and go to Yuyang to find a way to survive.

The thirteen are all men in their twenties and thirties, and if they have a good body, some of them will have the strength to work.

In Yuyang, if you can work, you will not starve to death

Wang Pingping looked at them, "I don't think you have a local accent, where did you come from?" ”

Hearing the benefactor's question, several people who had recovered some strength hurriedly replied:

"We all fled from Jusu County in Shanggu County."

Xu Yue asked suspiciously: "Isn't the drought in Shanggu not serious?" Why did you come to Gwangyang County, where the drought is severe? ”

In this drought in Youzhou, Zhuo County and Guangyang County in the central part of the country are the most drought, and the northernmost Shanggu is quite good, at least not to the extent that the family has to be moved.

Hearing Xu Yue ask, one of the young men couldn't hold back his tears,

"Wuhuan and Xianbei people came to fight the autumn wind again, they robbed our cattle, sheep and grain, killed my father and aunt, slaughtered the whole village, my sister and I finally escaped, but my sister was kidnapped by the Xianbei people in order to save me......"

They were all from the same place, and when they heard this, the few people who had just smiled because of the food and water were all silent.

Wang Pingping asked: "What about the border army?" Just let Wuhuan and Xianbei people go south to invade the village? ”

The young man who had just cried pulled the corners of his mouth miserably, "The Wuhuan people ran away after grabbing things and slaughtering the village, and when the border army chased after them, the Wuhuan people had already run away." ”

"Xianbei people are not afraid of the border army, the state pastor has a relationship with the Xianbei king, as long as they don't kill people, the border army will turn a blind eye."

"And this year's harvest is not good, everyone is afraid of starvation, many border troops have fled, this world is in chaos, who can take care of us ordinary people......"

Wang Pingping's eyes turned cold, "According to what you say, now our army is just an ornament?"

The thirteen people didn't speak, saying that they didn't dare to set up the imperial army, but they felt that it was similar to the decoration.

Especially after the white horse general Gongsun Zan left Youzhou, without the general's deterrence, there was only one state pastor Zhao Yu, and those alien races on the border became more and more rampant.

Wang Pingping looked at the reactions of these thirteen people, and she already understood that the border army had adopted a relatively moderate policy in the matter of looting.

Wang Pingping actually has the same idea as Gongsun Zhan, and to deal with these aliens, you have to subdue and cripple him in order to make them stop.

Like Zhao Yu's Huairou policy, although it can be exchanged for border stability for the time being, it cannot last long.

Because of the agreement, the Xianbei army will not set foot in the land of Daqing for the time being.

But the lethality of the small fights from time to time is not small, especially for the local people, they finally worked hard all year round to get a harvest, but they were immediately looted by the Xianbei people, which means that they are busy all year round.

This also has a lot to do with the geographical factors of both sides, it is a matter of survival, Xianbei and Wuhuan were born in the desert grassland, which doomed them to live as nomads.

And how can the desert afford to feed so many people with that little bit of land suitable for farming?

The Central Plains is vast and naturally suitable for the development of agricultural civilization, which will naturally attract people's attention.

If the Xianbei and Wuhuan people did not go south to plunder the materials of the Central Plains, their people would not be able to survive.

From the perspective of survival, the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people don't seem to be wrong.

It's a pity that she is now from the Central Plains, how can she watch her compatriots being frequently harassed by these alien races?

"Guangyang doesn't stop here, go directly to Shanggu County." Wang Pingping whispered to her family.

Several people nodded, no objections.

Xu Yue reminded these victims, "If you go south for two days, you can reach Yuyang County, and you can still have a way to survive if you take refuge in Xu Jiajun." ”

"Will Xu Jiajun really take in refugees?" They asked cautiously.

Xu Yue nodded, "Yes." ”

The thirteen people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was great to have a place to go.

The thirteen men knelt down to express their gratitude, rested for a while, and waited for the noon sun to go down, and then continued to the south.

Before leaving, the young man seemed to suddenly remember, and turned his head and asked, "What do you call a few beneficiaries?" ”

The family looked at Xu Yue tacitly, Xu Yue smiled lightly and said: "My name is Xu Yue, when you get to Yuyang, if the city defenders ask, you will say that Xu Yue let you pass, and they will arrange for you." ”

"Xu?" Several people glanced at each other and felt that this surname was a bit too coincidental.

But by the time they looked back to ask again, the carriage was already far away.

The thirteen could only put aside their doubts for the time being, and continued to walk south with hope.

Xu Yue and the others did not stop, all the way north, until it was dark, they found a slope with a thin mountain spring and stopped to rest.

There was a skin water bladder and there was plenty of water, Xu Erniang asked Xu Yue to take out the pots and pans in the small kitchen of the research room, light the fire, set up the pot, and cook a hot meal to eat.

In the wilderness, it was pitch black all around, and from time to time the low roar of an unknown beast came from the mountains.

Xu Dalang got up and suddenly roared towards the mountain, startling the remaining four people in the camp.

But don't say it, with this roar, the screams of the unknown beasts are gone.

Xu Da took out the portable tent, and was commanded by Wang Pingping, and it took half an hour to finally set up the tent where the family was going to live tonight.

The dark green tent is very large, square, with a field window, find some hay to spread on the ground, then put up a moisture-proof mat, spread a sleeping bag, and a family of five will have a place to sleep tonight.

Looking back at the past, and looking at the present, the living conditions are simply very different.

Xu Yue looked at the gnocchi in the pot and was annoyed, why didn't she think of exchanging the energy fruit for a tent in the first place?
