The young man cleaned his hands, and the six of them sat around the small table, exchanged pleasantries, introduced each other, and everyone raised their glasses to talk, telling about what happened in the past two days.

The old man's name is Hulun Shanghe, he hunted when he was young, and when he was old, he usually went to the stream ten miles away to fish, which was his hobby.

When you catch fish, in addition to the fresh fish you can eat at home, the rest can be made into dried fish.

The young man's name was Hulun Xuguang, who had taken over his father's daily hunting in the mountains, and would go to the manor market town every once in a while, exchanging animal skins and meat or dried fish for some daily necessities, or selling a few copper coins.

It is also possible to visit the mountain town of Vikchi once or twice a year, where hides are sold for a high price, but the road is dangerous and long, and it takes two or three days to make a round trip.

The old woman guards the house, and there are several terraced fields in front of and behind the house, and those potatoes and sweet potatoes are all planted by her.

In his spare time, he will collect firewood and cut grass, serve the chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, and usually let the family eat chickens, ducks and goose eggs, and when the piglets grow up, they will also have a bumper harvest.

Now his son Hulun Xuguang is going to marry the bride in a month, and he planned to kill the pig to entertain guests, but he was unexpectedly plundered by the homeless.

When Hulun Xuguang heard this, he got up, his face was full of anger, and when he learned that the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs were also taken away, he was even more angry, gritted his teeth, and his forehead was bruised, and he had to settle accounts with the homeless people.

He said that he had seen the outcasts at Dread Manor, but he ignored them. On the way home, I also saw traces of barbecue, as well as leftover pork bones, chicken bones and dog bones, but I never thought they were my own.

When the old man heard this, the atmosphere was also abnormal, and his beard pouted high, "I said why I didn't hear the dog bark when I entered the hospital, it turned out that the black dog also let them eat." ”

Hulun Xuguang clenched his fists and said fiercely: "No! I will go to them tomorrow and ask them to compensate!"

The three of Alayanzong did not talk, Hulun Xuguang was angry, and it was not appropriate to persuade him.

At this time, the old woman said calmly: "You go to them, who are so many people looking for?" Although there are unjust debtors and owners, do you know which one ate pork and which one gnawed dog bones?

"They are all hungry people, people in distress, life and death hang by a thread, so they will eat it. Besides, as for compensation, this little brother has already given us two gold coins, which is enough to cover those poultry and livestock. You should concentrate on hunting, live in peace and prepare for your wedding. ”

After listening to his mother's words, Hulun Xuguang's anger immediately became much smaller, and he hugged his fists to Alayanzong and said, "Then thank you, little brother, it is said that this money should not be paid by you, and it is not the pork and dog meat you eat, and this gold coin should not be collected." ”

Seeing that he was angry, Alayanzong said, "You are about to prepare for the wedding, and it will cost you silver taels, and I will pay them back, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gesture for your wedding." ”

Hulun Xuguang smiled awkwardly, "That's why I'm angry." My parents worked hard to save these for me, just for me to marry, and I never wanted to be plundered, but fortunately, my little brother helped me. Come on, give a bowl to the little brother. ”

Hulun Shanghe also picked up the bowl, "Come! Salute the three of you, everyone come together!

The atmosphere came alive all at once.

After they had eaten and drunk, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, the three members of the Arayan Sect said goodbye to the Hulun family.

Hulun Xuguang told them that more than 100 miles to the north was the Ded Manor, where his bride was located. In a few days, he will go there to buy some chickens, ducks, geese and piglets and raise them again.

The old man Hulun Shanghe said with a smile that he would repair the pigsty before going fishing.

Before leaving, the old woman insisted on stuffing a dozen hard-boiled eggs into Ulla's peach and let them eat them on the road.

Say goodbye to the family and go north.

The road is getting better and better, and the road is wide enough for horse-drawn carriages.

After walking a short distance, beside the rocks on the side of the road, I did see the traces of firewood ash that Hulun Xuguang said, as well as the bones that were gnawed over.

When you get out of the mountains, there are only some low hills around, and the hills are full of flowers and plants.

It only took half a day to come to Dmitry Manor.

It is a market town, and the reason why it is called Dread Manor is because the Mmet family owns a compound alone, which occupies two-thirds of the market town.

The slums outside the manor were inhabited by peasants, tenants, and petty traders.

Entering the market town, you can see the street of homeless people gathered together, all unkempt and languishing.

Someone with a wooden stick and a dog knocked on the door along the street, but he couldn't open it for a long time, so he had to retreat.

Someone squatted under the base of the wall and basked in the sun, helplessly looking at the homeless people with the same fate as themselves.

As soon as the three of them appeared on the street, a little girl of eight or nine years old ran up and held out a broken bowl to Alayanzong.

The little girl's face was covered with dirt, her golden hair had lost its luster, her head was still covered with fragments of firewood and grass, and her clothes had a few cuts, and her skin was faintly visible in some places.

The little hand holding the bowl was pitch black, like a little beggar.

Looking at her deep-set blue eyes, Alayanzong's heart was sour, and he was very sympathetic.

So he reached out to untie the bag that hung behind his waist, and tried to give her some venison jerky, and though there was not much left, he had compassion for the poor child.

Ula Peach grabbed his hand behind him and whispered, "No." There are two of them, and with so many people, our little jerky will soon be gone, and it is not enough. What are we going to do?"

Alayanzong was stunned, and felt that Ulla's Peach was reasonable, and not far away, there were still many babas looking at them with hungry eyes.

Alayanzong reached out and took the girl's shoulder and led her into the nearby alley. The two Ullah Peach followed.

The rest of the displaced people can't see it.

Alayanzong squatted down and said to the little girl, "You eat here first, after eating, we will leave, you will go out again." ”

The little girl looked at him with wide eyes and nodded.

Ula Peach had taken two hard-boiled eggs out of her pocket and gave them to her.

Alayanzong wanted to fetch her some more jerky, but Ula Peach winked and waved his hand.

Seeing that the little girl began to peel eggs and eat them, the three of them got up and walked towards the depths of the alley.

Unbeknownst to them, the little girl ate only one egg, ran out into the street, and gave the other to her mother, who was leaning in the corner and dying.

Alayanzong asked Ula no Peach, "Why don't you let me give me some more jerky?"

Ula no Peach said: "The jerky is relatively hard, and the child can't finish it for a while. If she takes it to the street, she will inevitably be robbed, and the child will be beaten if she doesn't give it. You gave her jerky, not to help her, but to harm her. Besides, you helped her once, you couldn't help her twice. ”

When Alayanzong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, yes! If the source of food cannot be solved, these displaced people will starve to death on the streets. Moreover, if someone has a plague, even if he does not die of hunger, he will die of illness.

There are still some things that are unclear, why are there still hundreds of people who fled from the mountain city of Vicochi in the first place, and where have the others gone?

Why are there all the poor people in ragged clothes, the rich people who are well-dressed, the warriors who wear swords and swords?

Alayanzong raised his own questions, but Ullah's Peach and Allah's Minor Er could not answer him.

After discussing and discussing, the three of them decided to find a family here and find a place to live.

First, the three of them should stay overnight and avoid sleeping on the streets; second, it is convenient to boil herbs to cure the diseases of the displaced people; and third, they can buy some ingredients to make some food and drink for the disaster victims.

Having made up their minds, the three of them began to look for a place to stay.
