Regardless of the process, in the end the other party agreed to help with suspicion, and agreed to wait at the gate of the city at Maoshi the next day, and the Luo family would arrange for someone to open the door for them.As for whether the Luo family will leave or not, they have to go home and discuss it.

On the way back to the inn, Lin Anyu briefly talked to them and asked them to rest early tonight.After returning to the inn, Lin Qianqian came back a while later, and Zhao An, who had gone somewhere, also appeared in the inn.

It's still mid-afternoon, and they ordered a table full of dishes to treat themselves.After today, I don't have so much time to cook food on the road, so I can just get something to fill my stomach.

Afterwards, they went back to their rooms to rest. There was no dream all night, and it was still dark when they woke up in the morning. The dim moonlight did not have much effect on the people on the ground, and they could only see people's shadows vaguely.

But they were not the only ones who got up so early in the inn, there was another person who got up even earlier, went to squat in the hut before dawn, and vomited there after coming out.

Lin Anyu in the stairwell subconsciously avoided him when he went downstairs. This appearance always gave people a bad feeling, especially at such a sensitive time, he didn't want to touch any kind of dangerous possibility.

The air outside is still a bit cold, and the sky is dark without a single star. It seems that the weather tomorrow will not be too good.They took their luggage to the city gate.I saw Wu Shouwei, who had taken the initiative to ask him to lead Steward Luo, was standing there. When he saw Lin Anyu coming, he called the people next to him and pushed the city gate open a crack.After Lin Anyu and the others passed through, the door was closed, with a bang like a dividing line between two worlds.

"Let's go." Lin Anyu only looked back at the tall city wall, and left with them.

The sky gradually brightened. There were old people and children among them, and they couldn't hold on for long. They stopped and stopped along the way, but they met a lot fewer people on the road.Most people stop when they encounter a city, until the city starts to close, and those who come later will continue to move forward.

Two days later, a sudden heavy rain drenched them who were still on the road and had no time to escape.But there is no place to shelter from the rain nearby, and there are no people living on the road I passed before, so I had no choice but to continue forward in the rain.

Their luck was good or bad. Although they had been drenched in the rain for a while, and their hair and clothes were already soaked, at least they found a cave in the end that could shelter them from the rain.

It's just that there are already a few people inside, three men and one woman, and the woman is huddled in a corner.And when they saw them coming in, the men all glared irritablely, glaring at the group of uninvited people, but after seeing more people coming in, they immediately looked away and pretended not to see them.It's just that the eyes are still floating outside, and the small eyes are rolling around, as if they are evaluating their strength and temper.

Lin Anyu didn't pay much attention to them. He saw that these people were fleeing for refuge just like them. Their ragged, sallow and emaciated appearance was very obvious.And in such cold weather, there was no fire, and there were no other traces. It is certain that they did not live here for a long time, and they probably squatted here not long ago.

It was too long in the rain, and some of the luggage was partially soaked by the rain.They went outside to bring back some covered leaves, and then picked some burnable branches, and set up a fire in the cave, and then cooked around the fire to keep warm.

The warm flames were ignited, and they didn't do anything else, just the dry food and hot water, which counted as the meal.As for the three people next to them who were staring at them, none of them cared.

Even the soft-hearted Hao Luo and Lin Anhe, who was only four years old, didn't have any, and they finished their delicious rations on their own.Before they crossed over, Lin Anhe had also endured hardships, so he didn't have a good life for a long time, and now he almost didn't lose his temper at all.It's just that his body couldn't bear it, and someone carried him on his back along the way, but now his face is still a little less bloody.

No one looked at the three of them until they finished eating. After all, they had never encountered such people on the road. They also had old and weak women and children who would feel soft-hearted when they saw the misery of the refugees, and would give them a little from their own hands. .

At that time, Lin Anyu pursed his lips when he saw it and didn't make a sound to stop him. At that time, they still didn't understand how sinister people's hearts are.Now it's okay to have yourself watching, even if he encounters troubles, he can save them, so that they can learn to protect themselves, there is no need to be this villain from the beginning.

In the end, as expected, they gave some rations, and the other party would not be satisfied. They just thought they had a good temper, and then cursed them to ask them to give more, or just robbed them.Lin Anyu is not used to this kind of person, and sometimes he can even take back the things he gave them just now.But some people are smarter, put it in their mouths directly after taking it, and then look at what they have in their hands.

Afterwards, they understood that conscience requires capital, and when it has nothing to do with their own safety, they can remain polite and not covet other people's things.But when his life is almost gone, as long as he can survive, what can't he do?

Lin Anyu and the others had quite a lot of people here, and it was actually quite safe, but the three strangers next to them really had to be more careful, so they arranged for five big men to watch the night in turn.There is no need to do much, just pay attention to the fire so that it does not go out, and then look at the three strangers, beware of their mischief.

However, before they fell asleep, a man next to him suddenly stood up angrily.While Mu Shao was on guard, he walked in, and when he got to the side of the strange woman, he reached out to take off her clothes. Mu Shao was shocked and before he could react, the man rushed towards the woman.

"Ah!" A few underage children screamed, Lin Anyu's expression changed, and he pulled Hao Luoan and Hao Luoan who was next to him, while the other Lin Qianqian and Zhao An consciously turned their backs.

Mu Shao's face turned red instantly, who would have thought that this person would be so shameless, and there were so many people watching him here, so he was in broad daylight, under...

Before Mu Shao could figure out what was going on, his hands were faster than his head, and he had already punched this scumbag.The other two accomplices stood up and tried to stop him, but Mu Shao's previous training was not for nothing, and even Shao Qun didn't make a move, and the three of them had already been beaten to the ground by him and thrown outside.

The woman who had been sitting huddled in the corner put on her messy clothes with trembling hands.Maintaining the posture just now, hugging his knees, buried his head.Although she couldn't hear the sound, the slight tremor could still make people see that she was crying.

These men can be knocked unconscious with one punch, but they are at a loss for the crying woman Mu Shao.But it's not a solution to let her cry like this. The two married people here are brothers, and only He's is more convenient. She used to whisper something to the woman in the corner.

……

The disaster relief team originally thought it would arrive in four days, but it arrived in the county in two days.The disaster relief materials that the county magistrate had applied for from the imperial court due to the snowstorm had just solved the difficulty of the flood by mistake. They even gave the people here the right to open warehouses for disaster relief when necessary, and the local tax will be halved next year.

The county magistrate threw a big banquet in the yamen to welcome the imperial envoys who were ordered to come, and did not send them back to Wenrou Township until midnight.

However, a small number of people with diarrhea began to appear in the city. The symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea, and all the things that were eliminated were cloudy and water-like.What's more, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, the limbs are cold, the abdomen is sunken in the shape of a scaphoid, and even accompanied by muscle spasms and convulsions.

As for the discharged filth, part of it flows into the water source, and part of it just stays in the corner, especially in the part where the refugees are concentrated.Then slowly spread elsewhere.

On the second day, the yamen set up four sheds in the city to serve porridge. The porridge was made by mixing broken corn and unhusked brown rice. A little salt was put in it, which was donated to the victims of the disaster. that's it.

There were eight guards standing next to each porridge shed, their eyes fixed on the crowd who saw the food ready to move in front of them, as long as anyone dared to stand up, he could directly beat that person to death.

The yamen servants in the shed lit the fire, and after seeing the water in the pot boiled for six to seven minutes, they took the pot out and replaced it with the next pot to continue cooking.Another yamen servant who was carried out was in charge of distributing. The porridge that had not been cooked for a long time was more like boiled water plus cooked grain.Stir casually with a spoon, and the shell on the brown rice is separated from the rice in the water and floats on the surface of the water. Other than that, it looks like a bowl of clear soup.

However, there are hungry people staring at such a simple soup in the rain, but it can be eaten anyway, and there are actually some rice in it, which can fool their stomachs a little.There are still some people who can't drink it at all. Most of the time, only one person in the family goes up to make porridge, and then gives the bowl to the other person in the family after he finishes drinking.

And those who don’t even have a bowl can only wait for others to drink to see if they can borrow it. Those who are not patient and see someone who is easy to bully at the end of the line will go up and grab the bowl.The guard raised his eyelids and saw that there was only a commotion behind the queue, and he didn't intend to attack the porridge shed, so he retracted his gaze and stared at the people in front of him.

……

It was raining continuously outside, as if to make up for the rainfall before the flood. Looking out from the cave, the sky was dark even in daytime.The rain curtain outside the cave fell on the ground, and the raindrops were splashed and jumped into the originally dry cave.

"Are you awake?" Lin Anyu saw that the fire was a little weaker, so he stuffed two sticks of firewood into it, and picked up the fire to make the fire a little hotter. Lin Anyu happened to be the last watchman.

"Well, it's a bit cold." Hao Yu was originally leaning against the wall, and when he woke up, he looked beside him for the first time in a daze, and suddenly woke up after not seeing Lin Anyu who was sitting with him.After hearing his words, I got up and dug out the rice from the package next to me, as well as the water I fetched yesterday, and put them into the pot to cook some porridge.

Recently, Lin Qianqian seems to others to feel uneasy because of the last accident, and she is very clingy to Lin Anyu who rescued her.Most of the time, when Lin Anyu wanted to go out, Lin Qianqian would follow him.

They brought this water back together yesterday. Others might be jealous of this sister-in-law, but Hao Yu didn't feel much. After all, Lin Qianqian was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was still a cousin.Besides, they only got a little closer during this period of time, and they didn't see Lin Anyu being special to her at first, and Hao Yu hadn't seen her much since he got married, so what's there to be jealous about?

The inside of the cave is not big, and after cooking for a while, the rice porridge exudes a sweet smell, attracting several people who are still sleeping to wake up one after another, and take care of themselves.And the woman Mu Shao rescued yesterday was also quiet, neither noisy nor noisy, which made Mrs. He feel a little good, this time finally he didn't save the wrong person.

"Boss, it's still raining now, so you won't be leaving today?" Mu Shao got up, stood in the cave and stretched out his hands to catch the rainwater falling from the sky, and splashed it on his face as if he had washed his face.The icy cold rain gave him a jolt and he woke up.

"Look, I won't leave until I stop for an hour, and I'm not in such a hurry after walking for two days." Lin Anyu replied.
