Seeing that the refugees had calmed down, the official also put away his indifferent look and made a sad and compassionate face.

"Folks, I know that everyone didn't mean to make trouble, and everyone was forced to have no choice."

"Speaking of which, it's all the drought that is to blame"

"But this natural and man-made disaster is by no means something that all of us can resist."

"The county magistrate is also very considerate of everyone, but the war is tight here, the Hu people came to our Daxia to rob people and grab food, and the soldiers on the front line fought bloodily, also to protect us from the suffering of the war."

"The county magistrate doesn't want to levy a grain tax, but the soldiers on the front line have no food to use and can't eat, so how can they fight? At that time, the Hu people will enter Great Xia, and every time they cross a border, they will slaughter the city."

"At that time, everyone also had no way to live"

"Everyone can't live their lives, and the county lord is also anxious and considerate, but there is no food in the city now, and you can't find food even if you rush in."

The official said with emotion, and the refugees looked at each other.

The fierceness of the Hu people, many people have seen it, they drink blood, and the most terrible thing is that those Hu people want to eat people.

The kind that really eats.

No one wants to be beaten into Great Xia by the Hu people

"You say there is no food without food? Let us go in and search for it, if there is really no food, forget it" At this moment, a voice came from among the refugees, and the official suddenly looked in that direction, but he did not see who was speaking.

Bai Xia saw it, it was a man as thin as a monkey, and after he finished saying that, he shrank into the crowd.

And because of his words, the refugees also reacted.

"Besides, who knows if what you say is true or false, what if the food is not delivered to Biansai at all?"

At this time, another sentence came out among the refugees.

When they arrived, the refugees fried the pot and said, "They are right, let us in"

"If there is really no food, we just come out"

"You must be weak-hearted, why don't you dare to let us in"

Don't look at the refugees, most of them are women and children, but when people are forced to be in a hurry, they can do cannibalism, let alone just break into a city gate.

At this time, the refugees pushed again, trying to break into the city gate, turning a blind eye to the fate of those who had been knocked down by the officials before.

"All men obey the commands, guard the gates, and never let them rush in"

"Whoever dares to step into the city gate will be killed"

With an indifferent order, the faces of all the officials turned cold, and just a few refugees rushed over.

"Kill" this is the voice of the official.

"Fight with them" is the voice of the refugee.

Soon, the two sides scuffled together, saying that there was no forgiveness for killing, and those officials still couldn't do anything, so they just tried their best to stop it.

It's just that the difference between the number of officials and the number of refugees is too great, and soon, the officials retreated to the position of the city gate, at this moment, I saw the middle-aged official jump up with his strength, and the knife in his hand looked at one of the refugees, and the knife fell in his hand, and a stream of blood sprayed the faces of the people nearby, like a basin of cold water poured down, so that they could calm down.

"Killed, killed"

"The official messenger killed someone"

"Murdered"

A few panicked shouts made these desperate refugees hurriedly retreat, looking at the middle-aged official in horror.

"I said, anyone who dares to step into the city gate will be killed."

All the refugees were shocked by his gaze and stood trembling in place.

The body of the man who had been slain was still in front of them, and the bloody facts told them that they wanted to enter the city unless they died.

It's just that there is nothing to eat, and sooner or later they will die.

"Official, please save us, please save us"

"Yes, sir, you can save us"

"You can't watch us starve to death."

When the refugees saw that there was no hope of breaking into the city, they fell to their knees and cried and begged.

Thousands of people cried, but everyone who saw it, there was no one who didn't shed tears, Bai Xia, who was watching from the side, was a little soft-hearted, of course, it was only for a moment, and she was soon left behind.

With so many people kneeling at the gate of the city, the people of Wu County who wanted to enter and leave the city had no choice.

The refugees gathered and blocked the city gate, and they didn't go in, but if this continued, the people of Wu County would also be trapped here.

"Boss, what should I do?"

At this time, an official asked.

"Go to the county magistrate and ask him to have an idea" The middle-aged official is the head of these officials, at this moment, these refugees are afraid of his iron-blooded methods and dare not make trouble, but if he dares to leave, he is afraid that the refugees who are crying and begging will immediately become a mob and force their way into the city gate again.

When the official heard this, he immediately turned around and ran towards the city.

When the sharp-eyed refugees saw that an official had gone into the city, their eyes lit up and they begged to work harder.

It didn't take long for the official who had gone back to report the news to come back, and whispered a few words in the ear of the official who was in charge, and the official frowned, and then relaxed.

"Folks, listen to me, the county magistrate is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see everyone starve to death, so he is willing to give each person a pound of brown rice according to the head."

Hearing this, the refugees were overjoyed and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Xie County."

Seeing them kowtow and thank them, the official continued: "It's just a little bit, after taking the grain, you must leave Wu County and leave Ganzhou."

Now, the refugees don't kowtow.

I saw an old man about fifty years old raise his head, and his voice trembled slightly: "Official, I have left Wu County, I will wait...... I'll become a homeless person when I wait."

If you become a homeless person, you will have no land, no household registration, and if you are caught by the government, you will be beaten or sold, but you can't help yourself.

No ordinary person wants to leave everything behind and become a homeless.

Otherwise, these people would not have gathered outside the city gate of Wu County.

"Is the government willing to issue a guide for us?" This was said by one of the knowledgeable refugees, and Bai Xia's gaze subconsciously looked towards that person.

Although the clothes are shabby, you can also tell that it is a long shirt.

Only a person with meritorious fame can wear a cheongsam, which is a scholar.

Bai Xia said silently in his heart.

"There is no way," the official said coldly.

"It is up to you to choose whether you will leave on your own with food or starve to death at the gates, but you will never be allowed to step into the gates."

The refugees gasped.

The man who died earlier was still there, and where did they still have the courage to break inside.

They haven't lost their minds yet, otherwise they should have rushed inside regardless of life and death at this time, instead of being afraid of the sword of the government and holding back.

"We are willing to take the grain and leave Ganzhou, but we also ask the official to show me the way, where should I go?"

There is a great drought in Ganzhou, and the refugees are all natives of Wu County, and they have not even been to Ganzhou City a few times, let alone the outside world.

Fortunately, the county magistrate had already thought of this, and the official said: "Quanzhou, which is next door to Ganzhou, is less affected by the drought, so you can go to Quanzhou."

"And Quanzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the history of Quanzhou is also famous for loving the people like a son, after you go, you will be able to open up the wasteland and settle down."
