An hour later, Granny Yuehua rented a carriage and took Mu Nian'an and them to a village on the outskirts of the capital.

This Zhuangzi is very remote, but after seeing the situation outside Zhuangzi at this moment, Mu Nianan can understand why this Zhuangzi Marquis Mansion can't be managed......

I saw that at this moment, outside Zhuangzi, a group of refugees in ragged clothes were surrounding Zhuangzi.

"Please let us in...... Just give us a sip of water to drink. ”

"Yes! We've come a long way, and the kids can't stand it, so please do it. ”

"We can work too, we can work for you, you give us a bite to eat, anything."

Those who were making trouble outside Zhuangzi were all yellow and thin, and they looked as if they would fall down in the next second.

They have already walked a long, long way, and if this Zhuangzi does not accept them, they really can't guarantee whether they will be able to go to the next Zhuangzi or village.

In front of them there was a fence around them, and in the fence were villagers with hoes on guard.

One of them, a bearded man in his forties, said loudly:

"Everyone, our Zhuangzi is small, and it really can't accommodate so many people, so you should disperse quickly."

"Besides, we are just ordinary tenants, and we can't be masters when the owner is not there."

"It's been a hard time this year, where do every family have extra food? Instead of making trouble here, why don't you go to the capital to find those officials, they have money and food, why should you embarrass us? ”

The bearded man's words were well spoken, but the ears of the hungry refugees could not be listened to at all.

At this moment, suddenly a frightened and mournful voice sounded:

"Ahh Second baby! Wake up, second baby! If you hold on a little longer, we'll be able to get food in no time!" Wake up! ”

In the group of refugees, a skinny three- or four-year-old baby had collapsed into a man's arms at this time, looking like she was about to swallow her breath.

There was a hint of reluctance in the eyes of those refugees.

Although on the way to escape the famine, I have seen a lot of life and death partings, but seeing this little baby still makes these refugees feel a little more sad.

Now it is the child who has fallen to the ground, but no one can guarantee when it will fall, and it is them.

The father holding the child looked sad, looked at the bearded man standing in front of him, and said mournfully:

"Please! Give us a way to live! Give your child a way to live! Or, maybe you just bring the child in, as long as the child can live, even if I die, I will be worthy of my mother's soul in the sky! ”

As he spoke, the man kowtowed desperately to the beard.

The rest of the refugees around him didn't say anything more, but stared at the big man with burning eyes.

Now, the bearded man's decision is likely to influence the next move of these refugees.

"Zhao Chuan, what should I do? Or...... Bring the kids in, right? One of the tenants suggested to the bearded man, a little reluctantly.

The bearded, that is, Zhao Chuan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice:

"If we promise to let a child in today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? ”

If there are only these refugees in front of you, it is better to say that this kind of natural disaster is currently a help.

But......

Refugees are entering the capital in an endless stream, and when the rest of the refugees know that they have received people from Zhuangzi today, they will flock to it.

When the time comes......

The primary and secondary exchanges, and they are the ones who are waiting to die.

Zhao Chuan's words made the tenant open his mouth, but he didn't say anything more, but just couldn't bear to open his head sideways and sighed.

The way of this world......

The man holding the child saw that Zhao Chuan did not let go, he was a little desperate, and after despair, a trace of madness broke out in his eyes!

Obviously, only one step can let the child live, how can he not give up!

Immediately, Zhao Chuan picked up the child on his back and yelled at Zhao Chuan:

"For the baby! Sorry!! ”

As he spoke, the man rushed to the fence in front of Zhao Chuan and them, wanting to forcibly rush into the Zhuangzi.

When the rest of the refugees saw this, they were also a little nervous and stepped forward to help.

Fortunately, Zhao Chuan and the others were also prepared, and hurriedly took a hoe and a rake to meet them.

It's just that although the tenants have weapons in their hands, they don't dare to hurt people, and some of them are tied.

And although those refugees are exhausted, the hope of survival lies ahead, and the strength of the explosion is also amazing.

The two sides were also at a stalemate for a while.

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, saying:

"Stop fighting! There's a good Samaritan handing out rice at the intersection in front! Each person can get a bucket of rice! According to the head, both adults and children can get a bucket! If you don't go, you won't be there!! ”

The refugees, who were in a stalemate with the tenants, heard this and subconsciously looked behind them.

I saw a girl wearing a patch standing there holding a bucket of rice in a cloth bag, shouting.

Looking at this appearance, I am afraid that it is also a refugee from somewhere.

Suddenly, the refugees who were about to rush through the border all hesitated.

They may not be able to get anything out of it with so much effort, but for now...... If you turn around, you may get a bucket of rice!

"You, whose family are you? Wouldn't lie? ”

One of the refugees, apparently hesitant, asked the girl.

"Uncle, I've followed you all the way so far, and I forgot where my home was! However, the rice is real, and you see, it's white. Flower. Flower rice! Not even a stone! A real bucket of rice! ”

Shen Qingqing said, and opened the cloth bag a crack and showed it to the refugees.

Suddenly, the refugees' eyes lit up!

Rice!

White. Flower. Flower of rice!!

How long has it been since they've seen rice like this?

After Shen Qingqing showed it, he carefully put away the cloth bag, and then said: "I see that there is not much rice in the rice tank, there are other refugees who have just passed, I am afraid that it will be gone if it is too late." ”

After Shen Qingqing's voice fell, someone withdrew his hand, and hurriedly ran to Shen Qingqing's side to ask for the direction, and said:

"I'll take a look!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

The man had just run away, and the rest of the refugees couldn't stay any longer.

If it's too late, won't there be nothing left?

Immediately, these refugees did not make any more trouble, but rushed in the direction that Shen Qingqing said.

After a while, the refugees in front of Zhuangzi were almost empty, and only the unconscious man was still resisting.

"What are you messing with us? They're all gone, why don't you go? ”

Zhao Chuan was also slightly relieved when he saw that the refugees had run away, but he was a little helpless when he saw that the man was still there.

"The child can't wait that long, I beg you! Really, I will treat you as cattle and horses, and you should give your children a bite to eat first. ”

The man saw that the refugees had all run away, leaving him alone, and he knew that he couldn't get in, so he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to Zhao Chuan again.

Zhao Chuan really doesn't know what to do now.

"I can help you, but only if you and this kid are going to sell themselves to me, how about that?"
