The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Refugees lying on the ground, motionless, could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

You can clearly see the bones through the collar.

His cheeks were thin and his eyes were gray.

With his mouth wide open, he lay straight on the ground.

There were clusters of shiny black flies surrounding his body.

There were also some people who walked forward numbly with staggering steps.

The mother held her baby tightly in her arms and looked around vigilantly at the people around her.

As soon as the people around her made the slightest movement, she would quickly hide the child in her arms.

Afraid that someone would snatch their child away from them.

They were all skinny and bony, like soulless mummies.

The villagers of Lotus Village were shocked by this situation.

Although they sometimes didn't have enough food during their escape, they didn't encounter any major difficulties overall.

Life in Daqingshan is even more comfortable than in Hehua Village.

They ate and drank, and everyone found a lot of valuable medicinal herbs.

This enables them to move forward with hope all the way.

Suddenly seeing such a tragic scene, I was horrified. This is the real tragedy of starving people everywhere.

The adults covered the children's mouths tightly to prevent them from making any sound.

To prevent those hungry people from rushing over and snatching things.

The children were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but they were sensible and didn't make any sound.

Chief Qian asked the men in the village to surround the women, the elderly and the children.

Wang Zhuzi took the axe given to him by Old Lady Wang and walked towards that place. He was a burly man with a stern face.

He looked ferocious and not to be trifled with, and immediately frightened the refugees around him who were ready to make a move.

Plus there are Boss Zhou, Wang Chengzi, and Qian Laitou.

Qian Lai Tou entrusted his sister to Old Lady Wang, and then stood next to the Wang family with a stick in his hand.

Boss Zhou was originally alone. Ever since he became a disciple, he has been following the Wang family's team.

Now no one dared to move.

"Roar" a roar came from the team.

The deafening noise frightened the refugees so much that they took a step back.

Only then did they discover that there was a big white tiger standing in the team.

This tiger is as big as a grown bull, with strong and sturdy limbs and smooth lines on its body, proving that it is not just a show.

But it is a tiger that dominates the mountains and forests.

Their teeth were so sharp and their bite force was so strong that it seemed like they could break their necks with one bite.

The refugees then completely gave up the idea of ​​robbing the Lotus Village team.

He slowly retreated and lay listlessly on the side of the road.

He just stared at the other fleeing people with a vicious look.

Like a greedy jackal, it would wait for the others not to pay attention and then bite them and tear off a piece of their flesh.

The villagers placed their weapons on their chests and looked at the refugees vigilantly.

No one dared to speak, they just kept moving forward.

At first I thought everything would be fine as long as I went down the mountain, but who knew that the life of people living down the mountain is not even as good as those living up there.

At least they are on the mountain and the team is still intact.

This road is less than forty miles away from Wudu.

They didn't dare to stop for a moment, not even for lunch, for fear of arousing jealousy and causing trouble.

They walked until four or five in the afternoon before finally reaching the city gate of Wudu.

But the city gate that was originally wide open was now tightly closed.

There were many refugees sitting or lying outside the city gate.

They stared at the city gate, hoping that the county magistrate would be kind enough to let them in.

When the villagers saw this situation, they had no choice but to move away from the crowd.

I found a slightly cleaner place and sat down.

They picked up some more firewood, made a few fires, and gathered them in circles.

When Wang Chengzi saw this, he took out half a piece of dried sweet potato from his bag.

Walked towards a refugee family nearby.

This should be a family, with the husband and wife surrounding their child, their bodies covered in mud.

He was so skinny that only his head and eyes looked particularly big.

Wang Chengzi walked over slowly, relaxed his expression, then stretched out his empty hands and shook them.

Indicate that you don't have any weapons and are friendly.

The man's tense body relaxed a little, but he still held the stone tightly in his hand.

As long as Wang Chengzi made any unusual move, he would hit him without mercy.

Wang Chengzi walked up to the man and said, “Brother, we escaped from the south.

There was a drought in our area, and the government still had to levy taxes. Not only taxes, but also people.

There was really no way out. That’s why I thought of coming to Wudu to find a way to make a living.”

As she said this, she secretly stuffed the dried sweet potatoes in her sleeve into the man's hand.

"Brother, we don't mean anything else. We just want to know what the situation is in Wudu now. How about you tell us?"

The man rubbed the thing that Wang Chengzi had stuffed into his palm with his hand.

It only took a few touches to find out that it was food.

Only then did he completely let down his guard. He said to Wang Chengzi, "Brother, if you ask other brothers, they may not know.

But if you ask about Wudu's situation, I can still give you a few words."

After just a few words, the two began to treat each other like brothers and knew everything they wanted to know.

Then Wang Chengzi left.

After Wang Chengzi left, the man secretly broke a piece of dried sweet potato into small pieces without telling anyone else.

Covered by the sleeve, he stuffed it into the child's mouth.

Then he whispered in the child's ear, "Don't talk, eat quickly."

The child holds the dried sweet potatoes in his mouth and feels the saliva slowly softening them.

Then use your teeth to grind off the softened dried sweet potatoes little by little.

She swallowed it, blinked her bright eyes, and nodded to the man, indicating that she understood. She couldn't speak.

Seeing that the child was eating with great relish, he stuffed another piece into his wife's mouth.

The wife shook her head and refused. She wanted to leave it for her husband to eat.

The man had no choice but to coax her in a low voice, saying gently: "Eat quickly, don't let them find out. Otherwise, no one of us will be able to eat. I still have some in my hand."

The woman then opened her mouth and put the dried sweet potatoes into her mouth. It tasted dry, but had the sweetness of sweet potatoes.

Seeing his wife and children enjoying their meal, the man's frown finally relaxed.

He stretched out his cracked and dirty palms and licked the dried sweet potato crumbs that had fallen off when he had just broken the sweet potatoes.

After eating, the family hugged each other tightly, snuggled up to each other, and shielded the children from the cold night wind.

Wang Chengzi also returned to the camp and said something to Old Wang and Old Lady Wang.

He went to find Patriarch Qian and told him the current news about Wu Du that he had just heard.

After hearing this, Chief Qian sighed deeply, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or them.

"It's not too bad. There's still life."

Qian Lizheng also said: "Let's not go to Wudu, let's keep going forward. Go to Fengcheng."
