392, Snow Storm
In the evening, after all of Lai's relatives and friends were settled, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin had the opportunity to talk to Lai.
"How did you get here? Don't you live in town? ”
After all, the conditions in the town are much better than the life of the peasant families in the countryside, and the living in a blue-tiled house is much better than the thatched hut and mud house in the countryside.
"That's right, my family lives in the town, although Shaanzhou has suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm, but our Shuangxi town is on the border of Shaanzhou, so it has not been affected much, but with the continuous heavy snowstorm, refugees from the surrounding towns have poured into Shuangxi town.
At first, the refugees could still be resettled, but then there were more and more refugees, and our small town couldn't afford it at all, and those refugees who had no food and couldn't stand the cold directly rioted, and they and others began to burn, kill and loot in the town, and for a time many shops in the town were attacked, and in order to take refuge, the shops had to close their doors and hide. ”
Lao Lai mentioned what happened before, and he had palpitations for a while, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and even felt that something was wrong early, so he hurriedly gathered his relatives and friends, and took advantage of the chaos in the town to escape from Shuangxi Town overnight with his relatives and friends from the back mountain of a City God Temple.
This route is also known only to some of the old residents, and there is a route in the back mountain of the Chenghuang Temple that can go directly to the outskirts of the town, so that they can avoid the chaos and go straight to the land of the Southern Barbarians.
"The government doesn't care about it at all?"
Xia Ning was very annoyed when she heard this, but she was more tired and helpless, because this was not the first time she had heard the bad behavior of the official office, and the inaction of the yamen was really angry.
What a swarm of moths!
It is precisely because of their selfishness and immorality that they will make the lives of the people miserable and miserable.
Lao Lai suddenly sneered, "The people raised by the yamen are just a bunch of waste, and when they saw the desperate fighting style of those refugees, they were so frightened that they hid, and after the shops on the street were smashed one after another, they ran faster than rabbits, how could they care about the lives of the people?"
Anyway, when we fled from Sungai Town, the Yamen was always closed, and there was not a single official on the street, and the refugees were completely hungry, and they didn't care about the royal law and morality, and now Sungai Town is afraid that they have occupied it. ”
As early as the time of the heavy snowstorm, the rich families in the town have taken their families to take refuge in other places, and the rich people are all good luck and avoid evil, and they are extremely life-sparing people, after all, the blizzard is not a simple bad weather, and it will become a disaster if it is serious.
Therefore, the residents who stayed in the town were all ordinary families, and none of them wanted to stay away from their homeland unless they had to do so.
How do you know that there are such fierce villains hidden in the refugees who come to the town, and the town is full of ordinary people, how dare they risk their lives to fight those vicious people?
As a last resort, everyone had to flee for refuge.
The residents of Shuangxi Town either went south to Cangshan County in Nanman, or they went north to Qiongxian County in Ganzhou, which is relatively close to each other.
Compared with other people who fled, Lai Dahai's goal was very accurate, and after seeing the instincts of Miss Xia and Second Master Song, his intuition told him that only by taking refuge in them might he be able to save his life in this troubled world.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring his relatives and friends!
"We met a lot of refugees on the way here, and I heard that other prefectures and cities are not very peaceful, and it is really a variety of natural and man-made disasters."
Lai Dahai sighed deeply, and he didn't know how the way of the world had changed? How long has it been since these peaceful days, and there will be no peace again.
The world is difficult, and the people are the most miserable.
“.” After listening to Lao Lai's words, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin couldn't help but be silent for a while, the information he said was not much different from the outside news that Mai Dong heard, but there was one more recent movement in Shaanzhou.
"What is the current disaster situation in Shaanzhou?"
Xia Ning couldn't help but inquire, after all, the two of them were talking about the disaster in Shaanzhou before this, but what they said they knew was heard from other people's mouths, and no one knew if there was any water in it?
It just so happens that Lao Lai is a native of Shaanzhou, although he lives on the border, but no matter how he knows, he must have more than them, right?
Lao Lai smiled bitterly, "Those who can escape have fled out, but I heard that the most serious towns of the blizzard have crushed many houses and killed many people, and some people are afraid that they can't escape even if they want to, and this road is blocked, and they are directly trapped in the village." ”
They were relatively lucky, the brothers lived relatively close, and immediately packed their luggage and fled after discussion, along the way they deliberately pretended to be a down-and-out refugee, mixed with other fleeing people, so that they were able to escape to Baiyun Village completely.
"Miss Xia, Second Master Song, you have to prepare more in advance, on the way here, I found that several groups of people flocked to Cangshan County."
Lao Lai thought of the scene when he came, and couldn't help but remind the two that although there were not too many people on the way to Pingsha Town, it didn't mean that there would be no refugees running over later?
After all, there are several groups of refugees behind them.
Although Cangshan County is a county seat, it is the poorest county seat in the entire Nanzhou Prefecture, and the area of the entire county is not large, so it cannot accept so many refugees at all.
Therefore, Pingsha Town is not 100% safe.
Xia Ning said, "We know, you go and rest, stay in the village for the past two days to familiarize yourself with the situation, if you have anything to do with Village Chief Li, or if you don't understand anything, you can also ask Mai Dong and Qiaoxin around us, the two of them are the people who serve with us, and they know the situation in the village very well." ”
"Okay, Lai knows, then I'll go rest first." After saying that, Lao Lai said goodbye and left.
Xia Ning's eyes were slightly downcast, "The situation seems to be more serious than we imagined. ”
This feudal dynasty lacked emergency rescue measures and equipment, and the people at the bottom did not know how to deal with the disaster and save themselves, so that countless innocent people died.
Now there are still many people who may be waiting for rescue in a desperate situation, but unfortunately, the government is not a person, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to wait for the rescue of the yamen except for self-help.
"Well, then you are ready here, and I will go and tell my father about the latest information." Song Shaoqin Lisuo said.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Xia Ning instantly understood what her boyfriend meant, he not only supported his own ideas, but also guessed his own thoughts.
is worthy of the man she likes, the two of them are really happy and have a good heart~
