Jiang Luo couldn't hear Zhou Yan's words clearly, and her eyes fell on the two ancestors and grandchildren who were far away. That's not the way to survive, that's the Huangquan Road.

She opened her mouth to remind the two people not to go that way, Xu An and Wang Qiang were already impatient, "Don't go yet?" I don't want to stay in Yangchuan! ”

I walked along the official road, and finally arrived outside the city gate in the second half of the night.

Even though it was late autumn, there were still many homeless people gathered outside the city gates, and the general situation was similar to what the old man had said, these people had haggard faces and lifeless eyes, and many of them lay on the ground and fell asleep.

So there was an eerie atmosphere in front of the gate, where the dead were piled up on the west side of the gate, and the living were gathered on the east side.

The corpses lay on their backs, some of their limbs mutilated, and the smell of rancid thought emanated from a radius of miles.

Jiang Luo endured the discomfort in his heart and tried to avoid his gaze, so as not to vomit.

Jiang Liushi looked at the corpses in shock, "These...... How did the corpse shatter like this......"

"Can't the eldest aunt see it? The stumps were eaten. Jiang Cheng explained to her "kindly".

She couldn't hold back any longer, her stomach turned upside down, and she vomited with a "wow".

"Gross!" Jiang Luo's despair was tormented by the smell, it was an indescribable smell, she had never seen such a tragic scene.

"Sister!" Jiang Chengdun regretted it, he had always been worried about his grandfather and uncle who wanted to eat people, so he took this opportunity to be sarcastic, but he didn't expect that his sister's ability to bear it was too limited.

It's not that he is strong in his heart, but he is starving all over the wilderness, and he has also seen one or two things about Yi Zi's cannibalism in the history books, and now he has seen it with his own eyes, although he is shocked, but he will not collapse on the spot.

"Gross!" Jiang Luo bent over, choking on tears, she vomited so badly that she couldn't even vomit her stomach to relieve it.

"Luo'er." Chen Xianyue stroked her back, and while helping her to smooth her breath, she begged the yacha, "A few officials, let's leave this first, right?" ”

"The gates of this city will be opened only when the time comes."

"When?" A thin-looking young man passing by burst into laughter when he heard her words.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yan heard his mockery.

"I mean, you still don't dream, this gate may not be opened once in half a month, and it will be opened when it comes."

"I advise you, where did you come from, go back."

He took two steps, was too tired, and sat down on the floor.

Everyone else was dragging their families, but he was the only one with a gray package.

"Presumptuous! Dare to be so rude to officials! Wang Qiang was angry with his attitude and pulled out his knife to threaten.

The man didn't care, rolled over, and turned his back to them.

"You're a messenger from another city, aren't you?" He asked, yawning.

Zhou Yan nodded yes.

"That's it, no wonder you don't understand the rules of Yangchuan City, and you say that you are just a yacha, even if the emperor comes to Yangchuan City, you can't enter the city gate."

"But......" he turned around and looked at them carefully, his gaze falling on Chen Xianyue, "but you may be able to get some rations to survive." ”

"Please advise." Zhou Yan sat next to him, and everyone scattered and sat on the ground to rest.

From the young man's mouth, they learned that many homeless people suddenly came to Yangchuan City half a year ago.

Due to the severe drought, the people in the nearby prefectures and counties have no crops in their fields, so they can only leave their homes and beg to survive.

Only outside Yangchuan Castle is a tributary of the Sichuan River, which winds around the city, so the crops here are barely harvested.

Who knew that the Taishou of Yangchuan, seeing that there were more and more homeless people in the city, ordered the officials to arrest and throw them outside the city, leaving them to fend for themselves.

At the same time, the city gate was closed and no one was allowed to enter, and this Yangchuan City has now become an independent country.

"Why are you waiting here if the gates won't open?" Jiang Luo questioned.

"Little girl, you're smart." The man looked at her with pity, "It's a pity that you are still young, if you grow up, maybe you can help your family change bags of food." ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the past two months, Han Taishou asked people to open the city gate every half month, and at first as soon as the city gate opened, many people grabbed their heads and wanted to squeeze into the city."

"Han Taishou's soldiers don't know how many people they killed before they deterred the riot." The man pointed to the stone lion at the gate of the city, "You look ordinary at that lion, and when the sun comes out tomorrow, you will see a bloody red lion." ”

After they suppressed the displaced people, they opened the city gate, and no one dared to force them through, and Han Taishou's men selected beautiful young women among the many displaced people and brought them into the city. Because they could survive, and they would give the woman's family some food, everyone was willing. ”

！！！

Jiang Luo looked around, and everywhere he looked was the black and oppressive homeless people, and there were countless people.

Zhou Yan still didn't dare to believe it, after all, they were the officials of the public government, this Yangchuan was the same as the cities of Linchuan, it was under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou, how could Lingzhou be so presumptuous by them!

It was barely a night, and on the second day until the third pole of the sun, there was no movement at the city gate.

Zhou Yan and Wang Qiang went to knock on the city gate, but there was no movement in the city at all.

There were a lot of guards patrolling the city wall, and they stared coldly at Zhou Yan and the others, turning a blind eye.

"Official! Please let us know! We are the officials of the government! It's the prisoners! Passing through here......"

Zhou Yan shouted at the top of his voice, and the people on the city wall did not respond at all.

The cyan yacha clothes on their bodies did not fit in with the homeless people around them, but in the eyes of the Yangchuan guards, they were no different from the homeless.

"What should I do?" Zhou Yan's uneasiness intensified with the commotion of the displaced people around him.

It takes about three or five months to reach Lingbei when this place goes north, and there are few towns along the way, and the mountain roads are rugged and very difficult.

If they don't resupply here, I'm afraid they won't survive.

"According to me, why should we sell this worthless life for the imperial court! Let's go back and leave the capital with our families. Wang Qiang punched the ground and gritted his teeth.

"That's it! In this world, we are so desperate, and we don't see a few taels of silver when we die on the road. ”

Xu An squatted aside, took out the sweet potato from the package, and was about to take a bite, when the homeless people next to him rushed up and snatched the package and the sweet potato in his hand.

He didn't even react, and the crowd dispersed in a chaotic manner.

He scolded and carried a knife, but he couldn't find who had robbed him of his food.

Chen Xianyue clutched the package on her body tightly, this was the last ration for her and her child, and she couldn't be snatched away.
