Ning Changrong was putting a frame on the black dot at this time, and was about to go out to Taixi County to see the situation when he was ready.

Originally, Ning Changrong planned to go alone, but the ox cart was set, and he was shown to Ning Lao Er.

Ning Lao Er saw that his eldest brother looked like he was about to go out, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going, big brother?" "Why did you suddenly use an ox cart?

Ning Lao Er felt fortunate that he asked, and only after this question did he know that the eldest brother actually wanted to go to the county alone, where could Ning Lao Er rest assured? No one knows what the situation is like outside, but he can't stay in the village for the rest of his life, so he proposed to Ning Changrong that if he goes to the county, he must take him.

He thought that he still had the strength to do it, and Ning Changrong knew that Ning Lao Er not only had great strength, but also had rich experience in fighting. But he still refused on the grounds that he had to keep a man in the house to take care of the house.

Ning Lao Er thought that as soon as he left, there were only women and babies in the house, so he had to give up the idea of going with his eldest brother, but he still didn't worry that Ning Changrong would go to the county with an ox cart alone.

"Big brother, why don't you call a few more people to come with you? If you don't encounter anything, forget it, and if you encounter something, you can have a few helpers. ”

Ning Changrong was right when he thought about it, although he was indeed going to go to the county to buy something, but the news he came back from the inquiry was that the whole village benefited.

Thinking of this, he stopped, first pulled the black dot back, tied it and said to Ning Laoer: "I'll go to the village chief first and see if I can find a few people to go with me." You just take care of your home. ”

Ning Changrong estimated that there might be some people in the village who also needed to buy some things, not to mention anything else, even salt was estimated to have to be added. If he had left the village with an ox cart, someone would have asked him to help carry his things.

He was also not used to this way of life in ancient times, and he didn't remember this stubble for a while. If you have to bring things to these people at that time, that person will definitely not be able to keep busy. Whether it's for safety or convenience, this guy really has to bring one or two.

When Village Chief Ning heard that he was going to the county, he attached great importance to it, and sent his eldest son Ning Husheng to go with him, and finally Ning Daniu, who he found.

The three of them wrote down what the villagers wanted to buy, and drove Ning Changrong's cattle towards the county.

In fact, the people in the village didn't have anything to buy, the ancient small-scale peasant economy was generally self-sufficient, and indeed only those things that they couldn't produce needed to go to the county to buy, but they were displaced and received officers and soldiers, where did every household have any copper coins?

If it weren't for the lack of salt, people would have no strength, and some people in the village might not even be willing to pay for it. So Ning Changrong actually didn't have anything to bring, except for the fact that the village chief's family might be wealthy and would use copper plates to buy some food, and the basic necessities that others needed to bring were daily necessities, such as coarse salt gravel.

Ning Changrong and his family also eat this kind of coarse salt, although it is a little bitter, but there are no other toxic minerals, and they will get used to it after eating it for a long time.

In fact, there is a kind of grass in Xiayuan Village, the locals don't know what its name is, and this grass is called poisonous salt grass, and it also tastes like salt when eaten, but it will poison people.

After knowing that this grass would poison people, no one in the village dared to use this grass instead of salt.

Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan saw it many times when they went up the mountain, and only after consulting the encyclopedia in their minds did they know that this thing was called salt horn grass, which did have a salt taste, but the salt extracted from it could only be used as some industrial salt, and it was not edible.

The three of them did not see any displaced people along the way, but there were many people from other villages, squatting on the ground and digging wild vegetables around, and it seemed that those officers and soldiers played a role.

The three of them drove ox carts and passed quickly against the eyes of the crowd on both sides of the road.

Compared to their village, these people seemed to have a more difficult life, and Ning Changrong could even see someone squatting and digging wild vegetables, and they fell down while digging. Although there is also a lack of food in their village, with the help of Ning Changrong's family, no matter how hungry they are, they will not faint from hunger.

Ning Changrong grabbed the reins and looked at the city gate in front of him, which was still low, there seemed to be mottled blood stains on the wall that had not been cleaned, and the soil under the city wall was darker. In the distance, you can see a dozen or so residents who have left the city, but only a few seem to have entered the city, and they are the last in line.

Passing through the gates, the soldier asked, "Where?" ”

Ning Changrong quickly glanced around and found that many of the soldiers were fresh faces, and the few people he was familiar with before were not there.

"Official, the villain and the two brothers are from Xiayuan Village, and I came to the county this time to add these things to the village." After Ning Changrong finished speaking, he handed over the toll to the other party.

The soldiers guarding the city seemed to be very surprised by the arrival of Ning Changrong and the others.

"Okay, you guys are quite bold, after the opening of the city, you are the only group of countrymen who dare to come from such a far away to enter the city. In the past few days, only a few people from these nearby villages have dared to come. ”

Ning Changrong was keenly aware of the word "Kaicheng" that the other party said, and handed ten cents to the other party from his hand, "Official, we have been living in the village, and we don't know what is happening in the county these days, what do you mean by Kaicheng just now?" And I think that several officials who were at the gate of the city before are no longer there. ”

The soldiers defending the city happily accepted the copper coins in their hands, if they were usually a little too little, this time they thought that it was nothing to be idle anyway, no one entered the city at all, so they simply chatted with Ning Changrong for a while, "It's normal that you live far away from your village, and some time ago there were officers and soldiers who went to drive away the homeless, and your village also saw it, right?" ”

Ning Changrong nodded, where is the expulsion, it is obviously cleared, no matter whether they are old or young, they are not soft at all, those officers and soldiers are not soft at all,

Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng stood quietly behind Ning Changrong, listening to the news confided by the soldiers guarding the city in front of them.

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, that Captain Zhang and his men are in too much of a hurry, those homeless people were killed ruthlessly, some people didn't run away, and ran directly towards our county, if it wasn't for the timely closure at that time, we people who live in the city are afraid that they will suffer."

"The outcasts did not rush through the gates, so they gathered under the walls."

The defender pointed to the wall, and the blood stains on it continued:

"See? This is the blood left behind by those people. Some people are smart and want to step on others to climb up, but fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise maybe they will really do it. However, although the city gate was guarded, we also lost a lot of brothers, and I guess the few you mentioned are gone. ”

"After the displaced people were driven away, the gates of the city were left open for several days, and you were the first to come from such a long distance."

Ning Changrong and the three of them sighed after hearing this, they didn't expect such a fierce battle to happen in this Taixi County.
