I am a local lord on the road to escape

Chapter 21: Purgatory on Earth
"Master Lang, there is Linzhai over there."

Xiao Yelu laughed loudly: "Haha! Bingzhou is short of population, you go and report to Master Shen! These refugees can't be cheap Hulu boy!" After finishing speaking, he galloped his horse, with a dozen or so cavalry scattered in a line behind him Following, the strange screams and wanton laughter disappeared in the dust.

Alas, the scout soldiers can only watch enviously, when will they become the Lord's personal soldiers?
Wang Luowen and Li Te were not close to Linzhai. These days there are many bandits and thieves, and it is difficult to distinguish people from jackals. I am afraid that it is easy to enter the village and it is difficult to leave the village!

There were also refugees who held the same suspicion as Wang Luowen. For example, a few elderly refugees sat in a circle, chatting on the surface, but in fact they were observing the village.

In troubled times, there are many homeless people. When they meet a piece of driftwood, they subconsciously want to grab it!

Among these refugees, the oldest old man is quite knowledgeable. He talked about the situation of the battle in Ye City a while ago: "The Southern Song Dynasty was in chaos! The bastard among the crown princes suddenly shot cold arrows at Xiao Fujun before the battle. Fortunately, Xiao Fujun's personal soldiers Desperate sumo wrestling to prevent disaster for Xiao Fujun! Alas, the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty treats even loyal ministers like this, it is really chilling!"

"Didn't Xiao Fujun take back Yecheng for the royal family this time? Didn't the crown prince force the Xiao family to rebel like the Yu family?"

"Hush! Don't dare to talk nonsense!"

"What are you afraid of? If this matter is serious, it was also done by the prince's subordinate officials. What's the matter with the prince?"

"Who does the prince's subordinates listen to? They don't listen to the prince!"

When everyone was chattering, someone asked the old man, "What happened to Yecheng?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Some people say that Ye City has been captured by Xiao Fu's army, while others say that it was captured by the Hulu family taking advantage of the chaos."

"What about the prince?"

"I don't even know!"

"Hey, I heard that Princess Fufeng is also in the camp in the northern suburbs!"

"Ha, I heard it too, I heard that they were chasing Xiao Fujun all the way."

"Princess Fufeng is in love with Xiao Fujun, everyone knows it!"

People who eat melons are really passed down from generation to generation!Wang Luowen listened with relish.I thought to myself, the Southern Song Dynasty is so open, and the princess chasing the general is simply the material of a novel!
How could this group of people know that the Xiao Fujun they were talking about was not far away from them at this moment.

The battle of Yecheng has come to an end, Yu Jian was captured alive by Huluhou, and the prince and princess of the Southern Song Dynasty were put under house arrest by Xiao Yelu.Huluhou did not break his promise, and transferred Chenliu County to Bingzhou City, which was occupied by Xiao Yelu.

Yecheng was reopened, but all the refugees slaughtered by this war ran away.

If a city wants to be stable, population is the top priority, Xiao Yelu knows this no matter how educated he is.So he and Hu Luhou changed from comrades-in-arms to rival city lords.

On the way back to Bingzhou, Xiao Yelu came to investigate the white ghost.He has a talent, wherever he passes, he will never go wrong again!But when he returned to the place haunted by white ghosts, those two big stone piers were gone!This shows that either someone ran away those two big stone piers during this period of time, or the stone piers have a secret!
Xiao Yelu's intuition is that he was deceived by the "white ghost"!
Could it be that the White Ghost is real?

It was getting dark, Wang Luowen counted the refugees who fled to the village during this period, there must be about thirty people.

At this time, a strong refugee came out of the stockade in a hurry. The group of elderly refugees couldn't bear it anymore. They stopped the sturdy refugee and asked loudly, "How did Mr. Lang leave? But the village is not good?"

"It's because the village is good that I went to find the clansmen and come here! The leader of the village will give meals tonight, and everyone who defected will have a share! I won't tell you, I will go to the clansmen!" Stuffed in the mouth to eat.

Watching this person go away, this group of elderly refugees couldn't sit still. "Why don't we go and see?"

"Go, if it's not good, we'll leave again. If he can leave, we can leave at any time."

Wang Luowen and Li Te still did not move.

After a while, the strong refugees who claimed to be looking for relatives returned alone.He saw Wang Luowen and Wang Luowen on the side of the road, and walked towards them while asking, "Why don't you go to the stockade? Today the leader donates food, everyone will come!"

Li Te stepped forward to block Wang Luowen.

At this moment, the refugee showed his murderous intentions and stretched out his palm to pinch Li Te's neck!
flutter!
Li Te inserted the dagger into the man's lower abdomen and twisted it horizontally.

"Girl, let's go!"

When the two left, the smell of meat in the village also wafted out.

After leaving the village, Li Te said angrily: "Girl, they must be cooking people!"

"Ah."

Otherwise, there will be catastrophe and hunger, where will the meat come from?

Leaving the wooden village, Wang Luowen decided to cross the Fengyang River and head towards Qingzhou County.

Don't go to Chenliu County anymore. Chenliu County is controlled by the three major clans, so it is difficult to recruit migrant labor.

Fortunately, they left!In the middle of the night, all the refugees here, including those nearby, were taken away by Xiao's trilogy.Master Shen ordered the beheading of the five chiefs of the Muzhai, because in the living room of the five chiefs of the bandits, there were as many as twenty corpses of the elderly, women, and children who had been disembowelled!

Three days later, Wang Luowen and Li Te entered the boundary of Qingzhou County.

In the past few years, there has been no harvest in Qingzhou County, and more than [-]% of the people have migrated with their families. However, there are also many middle-class people who are reluctant to support their families and rely on surplus food to survive the natural disaster.

On the street, everyone is dressed in rags and jackets, and there are people who sell their sons and daughters and sell their labor.But the rich don't have to hoard food for three years, and the only ones who can attract tenants are those who are strong.

The appearances of Wang Luowen and Li Te are ugly enough, but they are much better than beggars and terminally ill people on the roadside.

Wang Luowen sighed: "I don't want Qingzhou County to become a purgatory!"

Li Te said: "In comparison, Chenliu County is better."

Wang Luowen stopped walking suddenly.

I saw two boys and girls with grass planted on their heads sitting on their knees beside the dirt road. It looked so miserable!Approaching them, both children looked up.

They looked alike, all wearing single clothes, their bony skin was frozen purple and black, and covered with large frostbite, it was very frightening.

"Sister? Brother or sister?" Wang Luowen squatted down and asked.

Standing behind Wang Luowen, Li Te naturally looked around, but he was actually wary of whether someone would pay special attention to the girl.

"She is my older sister." The boy was trembling from the cold, and said full of expectation: "We can farm! I can also do woodwork! We only need two catties of grain!"

His elder sister looked numb and kept silent.

"I can buy you, but can you two children decide? What about your parents?"

"We can make the decision! I, my father and mother" the boy lowered his head, his voice choked up, not knowing what to say.

"Run away." His elder sister said, indifferently as if talking about other family matters, "Leave me and brother behind, they ran away. They took all the money and food from the family."

"You also farm?" Wang Luowen asked her.

"meeting."

The boy was very honest, and then said: "But we have only grown millet and millet."

"Xiao Lang is strangely capable. How old are you?" Wang Luowen asked the boy again.

"I am ten years old."

ten years old?He looked like he was eight years old at most.

The boy quickly said again: "Girl, my sister is also very capable, and my sister eats less than me."

To be honest, Wang Luowen fell in love with boys, but not girls.
