Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 75 Refugees outside Wuxian are in turmoil
After discussing things, everyone sat down and boiled water for cooking.

By the time we set off again, it was already an hour later.

They walked a few hundred meters on the small road to the main road, and there were many pedestrians on the road.

After nearly six months, the Jiang family and his party had consumed a lot of food, so they were not so eye-catching.

But compared to other people fleeing famine on the road, it is still much better.

Those who were on the way saw them, only took a few glances, then turned their eyes away, and continued on their way.

The Jiang family observed for a while and followed behind.

During the lunch break on the second day, a man came up to talk to me.

The man asked, "Brothers, you are also from Wu County, right?"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face with your hand, Jiang Yuchao saw him accosting, and replied: "Yes, he came from Wu County, where did this brother also come from?"

The man sat next to Jiang Yuchao very familiarly, he sighed lightly and said, "Isn't that right, if Wu County didn't let us in, we wouldn't have escaped here."

Jiang Yuchao nodded in agreement.

The man said again: "It's a good thing we ran fast, otherwise, when chaos broke out outside Wu County, our lives might have been lost."

The other people sitting and listening were shocked, and Mrs. Jiang was even more surprised and said, "What? The refugees outside Wu County are in turmoil?"

The man looked at him in surprise when he saw them, not less surprised than them.

"Didn't you also just come from Wu County?"

Jiang Yuchao opened his mouth and explained: "Ah, it's not bad that we came from Wu County, but when we set off, there hadn't been any riots outside the city yet."

He saw that everyone seemed to be very interested in what happened in Wu County, so he asked.

"I wonder if this brother can tell me about the situation over there?"

The man looked at the interested expressions of Jiang Yuchao and those around him, and then at the food they brought, his eyes rolled twice.

He pretended to be weak and leaned against a tree behind him, and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm so thirsty after driving for days, I don't have the extra strength to speak."

The corners of the Jiang family's mouth twitched. He was talking vigorously just now, but he didn't see that his mouth was dry.

Ming Yuanqing asked innocently: "But uncle, you didn't look thirsty at all when you spoke just now."

That man was a little embarrassed when he was said, but only a little bit.

He secretly raised one eyelid to look at the Jiang family, and coughed twice pretendingly.

"Oh, my throat is about to smoke. I haven't been very tired just now. It must have become like this after talking so much."

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the reaction of Jiang's family and saw that they were just looking at him but not angry.

He continued to remind: "I don't have much water and food on me, otherwise I will definitely tell you what happened outside Wu County."

"Oh, that's really thrilling, tsk tsk tsk~ It's a pity you didn't see it."

Jiang Zhiyue dragged Ming Yuanqing back who quickly posted it to see if the man was really as tired as he said.

Ming Yuanqing tugged at Jiang Zhiyue's sleeve and said, "Why don't sister Zhiyue give him some food and water, Yuanqing wants to hear him tell stories."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the group of people eagerly, planning to pass the test by being cute.

Mrs. Jiang's heart softened when she saw her. She pulled the coquettish Ming Yuanqing to sit next to her, so that she could listen to that person's "storytelling" more closely.

She looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Shall I give him some?"

Jiang Zhiyue nodded lightly, and she was also willing to exchange a little food and water for news.

Soon, Jiang Dalang took a bamboo tube of water and a few pieces of pancakes and gave them to the yelling man.

The man took the water and pancakes, put them into the dirty bag that couldn't be more dirty with a smile, and patted them with his hands.

The man didn't push forward, and started talking about what happened outside Wu County after getting water and food.

The man said vividly: "Don't you know that the people in the city agreed to give the refugees outside the city a meal every day, but the porridge became more and more rare, and finally it became a meal every two days. back."

Ming Yuanqing said very flatteringly: "Speaking is nothing, they are too bad."

The man looked at the little girl who interceded for him and got the food, she was quite pleasing to the eye, and he continued:

"There is no food, people outside the city can't sit still! In the end, someone provoked us, saying that the government in the city doesn't care about our life or death. How smart I am, I can tell at a glance that the person is uneasy and kind, and wants us to be a raft Force the old men in the city to distribute food."

The man smiled complacently, and continued, "Seeing that the situation was wrong, I ran away and hid behind."

Ming Yuanqing said seriously again: "Then you are really smart!"

Jiang Zhiyue: "..." Girl, do you know that you don't look very smart?

The man continued: "But not all the people outside the city are as smart as us. After hearing what that man said, they actually went to the city gate to make trouble. They don't even think about it. , can you fight it?"

"The people in the city must have been on guard against the people outside the city. After two swishes, I saw that the city wall was full of soldiers holding arrows, and then the arrows flew down. Yes, the troublemakers are dead."

"Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I would have become the lying person."

The man nodded to himself, as if he was satisfied with being so smart.

The Jiang family's group also knew from what the man said that shortly after they left, the refugees outside the city fought with the officers and soldiers in the city.

Sun patted her heart in fright, but luckily they left early.

She asked in shock: "Then there are more than a thousand people outside the city, and they all died?"

The man looked at Sun as if he was looking at a fool, and he said: "How is that possible? Although they are not as smart as me, they will not move forward if they are all dead. They all ran away."

"I came here with those people. If I wasn't smart, I would have starved to death on the way."

Everyone's face darkened, this man was too narcissistic, he kept repeating that he was smart, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

There is no useful news about the rest, and those who survived came by one of the two roads.

After the man finished speaking, he carried his burden and left contentedly.

After the man left, the Jiang family hurriedly ate something.

After eating, they still plan to continue on their way. They should be able to reach the outside of the next county seat before this evening.

After the refugees from Wu County leave, they will definitely come here.

They had been in the woods for so long, and they didn't know if all those people had arrived.

Moreover, Wu County is like that, will the situation here be better?
