"Time is running out, let's hurry."

Xia Ning hurriedly urged out, and directly picked up two large bags and walked out of the alley.

Helpless, Song Shaoqin had no choice but to carry the sack and follow out.

The two of them came to the mouth of the broken temple alley again, and walked straight in, there was no one around, and they didn't have to care about anything at all.

This ruined temple should be a land temple, the area is not very large, it is a square house, and now even the doors and windows are gone, leaving a bare house door frame.

At this time, the ruined temple was full of people, about forty or fifty people, inside and out.

The people in the broken temple looked at the two people who walked in, the expressions on their faces did not change, and they only glanced lightly, and everyone withdrew their gazes and continued to be in a daze.

It wasn't until Xia Ning opened the food bag that the fragrance of food wafted out of it, and the group suddenly looked at it together, and a hungry green light appeared in their eyes, and some people even swallowed saliva involuntarily.

Song Shaoqin stepped forward to block everyone's sight, glanced at them with a cold expression, and only then opened his mouth after seeing that their eyes were somewhat restrained.

"Is there any of you who is in charge?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes dodged for a while, because they couldn't figure out what the purpose of the two was, so they tacitly kept silent.

But an elderly man in his fifties walked out of the crowd tremblingly.

"This lord, dare to ask what you command? Lao Er is their patriarch. ”

Song Shaoqin said bluntly, "Where are you from? What happened and how did you end up here? ”

Hearing this, the old patriarch noticed that the other party had no malicious intentions, but he relaxed a lot and told their experience truthfully.

"We are from Chengjia Village, fifty miles away from Sanxi Town, five days ago, a group of bandits came to the village, ransacked our village, not to mention, and set fire to our village, we have nowhere to go, so we have to come to Sanxi Town to seek help from the master of the Yamen."

The life of Chengjia Village is quite passable, because the people in the village are very diligent and can endure hardships, and everyone is from the same clan, so they have always been more united and mutually helpful.

This time, I don't know how to provoke a gang of bandits, rushed into the village in the middle of the night, and directly launched a killing and looting, their village originally had more than 100 people, after some resistance, now there are less than 50 people left.

Originally, they came to Sanxi Town with full hope, wanting Lord Qingtian to uphold justice for them and eliminate harm for the people, at least they could help them rebuild their homes.

But who knows, after listening to their statements, the eldest lord not only did not send anyone to inquire about the truth, but beat the people who beat the drum to redress their grievances and drove them out of the yamen.

There was no way, they had nowhere to go, the village had been burned down by the bandits, they had nothing to look up to, and the yamen didn't care about them, so they had to temporarily commit themselves to this ruined temple, in order to have a turnaround, or to inquire about the bandits.

"That's the way it is."

The old patriarch arched his hand, and his whole body was a lot stiffer, thinking that he had endured a lot of blows and pressure during this time.

"Why is this Three Creeks Town so deserted?" Song Shaoqin nodded, and then asked a key question.

The old patriarch sighed deeply, "Today's taxes are more and more year by year, and this year there are two taxes, and everyone is also miserable. Therefore, many stores could not survive, so they closed their doors and went elsewhere to make a living. ”
