Chapter 5 Hunger Tide
Early the next morning, three carriages and an ox cart quietly left Xiaofu Village under the escort of guards.

Aunt Hu, Hongwei and the others really didn't expect that they would be riding in a carriage when they arrived, but when they returned, they could only squeeze into the ox cart and be blown by the cold wind all the way back.

Hongwei huddled next to her grandma, her teeth chattering in the cold, "I have to take all the pots and jars of rags back, and they actually filled two cars and still occupied our seats!"

"Sure, she is indeed a rough and rough girl who grew up in the countryside. If she treats us so harshly, she doesn't understand the general situation."

After she goes back, she will make a fierce complaint and make it difficult for this damn girl to move even an inch in the governor's mansion!
In fact, riding in a bullock cart and enjoying the cool breeze is not the most frustrating thing. What makes Hu and others feel the most uncomfortable is that they are caught in a group of smelly refugees. While smelling all kinds of fishy odors, they are also forced to accept All kinds of strange looks from around.

Hongwei subconsciously tightened the bundle in her arms, feeling that the sight of those unkempt hungry people was very piercing.

"Stop talking nonsense and take good care of your things." Aunt Hu scolded angrily, feeling upset.

Early in the morning, the guards came to report that Mother Fang and her son had disappeared, and she felt that something was strange.

He had been kept well in the woodshed, why did he suddenly disappear before leaving?

The daughter-in-law also carried a gun and a stick with some intentions, making it seem like she had secretly let him go!
It was an injustice to her.

"Sister, please show your kindness and give me some food."

Suddenly someone stretched out his hand, and Hongwei was so frightened that she pushed it away, "Go away, there's nothing, there's nothing."

"Please give me a little, my child is starving to death. A little, just a little! Anything to eat will do."

Hongwei screamed, "Go away, go away! Don't touch me if you're dirty. I'm warning you, this is an official road, don't mess around!"

Several accompanying guards came on horseback to drive away the hungry people. As soon as they raised their sabers, everyone hurriedly retreated and retreated.

Seeing that they were afraid of the guards' knives, Hongwei couldn't help but sneered, and she started to tremble, "You still want to steal our things, but I can't kill you. You are a bunch of stinky beggars with no self-awareness. Get away."

"Young master, please say a few words." Aunt Hu's heart suddenly twitched, and she pulled her arm hard.

Don't let this damn girl really anger these refugees. No matter how many guards there are, it will be difficult for them to deal with it.

"What are you afraid of, mama." Hongwei raised her head and sneered, "Aren't we just some hungry people with a thin life, and they dare to come and attack us?"

After saying that, Wu took out the snacks wrapped in a handkerchief from his bag and showed them off, "Did you see that? We have plenty to eat, but you bunch of stinky beggars don't deserve to enjoy it!"

"You're crazy!" Aunt Hu pulled her back violently, her eyelids twitching wildly and her face deformed with anger.

Why did her old lady take such a mindless piece of trash and hit the road together?
While Nanny Hu was screaming in her heart, the hungry people around her, whose faces were flushed with cold, were already rushing towards her like crazy.

"They have so much to eat!"

"Bring it, bring it to me!"

Hongwei was so shocked that she was dragged from the bullock cart and knocked down without realizing it. Her back was heavily crushed on the dusty ground, and she screamed "Ouch".

"Guard Chen, help me, help me quickly!"

Several guards drew their swords one after another, but more hungry people rushed from behind, hugging their waists and suppressing their legs.

Chen Huwei was shocked, and the knife in his hand was also taken away. In panic, he was stabbed in the shoulder, and blood suddenly gushed out.

"Ahhh." Hongwei screamed miserably.

She was dragged to the ground, and people stepped on her feet countless times in the chaos, causing her whole body to curl up on the ground in pain.

What was even more unfortunate was that one of the knives taken away by the hungry people fell and hit her face, causing a bloody gash immediately.

The hungry people went crazy. Many dirty hands were tearing and scratching in her arms, pulling out the bundles and snatching them from each other. Hongwei screamed and tried to sit up, but someone stepped on her face. The wound completely collapsed, and sticky blood flowed down her chin.

However, no one cared about her life or death. The hungry people fought for the baggage they had snatched. No matter what food they found, they just stuffed it into their mouths.

The woman who had asked for food earlier cried and grabbed the pastry from the strong man's hand, "Please leave some for my child, I beg you, I beg you."

"Get away." The strong man threw the woman away, throwing the child in her arms with him, and rolled down with a "crash".

The scene was extremely chaotic and getting more and more out of control.

The carriages of Yu Linlang and his family were not the only ones traveling on the official road. The pedestrians on the other carriages and donkeys were so frightened that their faces turned pale when they saw the hungry people rioting, fearing that it would affect them.

One person robbed others, and the hungry people jumped onto the Yulinlang carriage like crazy. Jiujin beat several people down with a fire stick.

Yu Lin's face was as cold as frost, and she raised her hand to open the car curtain.

Jiujin flew out, stepped on the top of the carriage and sneered, "I advise you not to touch those two carts. There is nothing to eat in them, only some poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds. Eat them if you are not afraid of being poisoned, but don't blame others if you die." .”

"Don't talk nonsense to them! Search the car!" The hungry people who were looking for help raised their knives high and didn't care about so much.

"Let's see who dares to hit my girl first!!" Jiujin's eyes widened in anger, ready to attack.

"Whoosh!" A stray arrow quickly shot down the knife held high in the hands of the leading hungry citizen.

A loud "clang" sound made the hungry people turn pale in fright.

What followed was rolling horseshoes, accompanied by wind and sand.

Everyone looked back in shock, only to see a young general wearing black armor galloping towards him on horseback, holding a token high in his hand and speaking very fast, "The pacification envoy has been ordered to go to Weizhou City for disaster relief. All the relief food Already on the road. During this period, any hungry people who rebel and disobey control, plunder wantonly and stir up trouble will be severely punished according to the Qi Law, and no one will be spared for rogue bandits!"

The refugees, who were in a mess, retreated one after another. The knives they had seized could no longer be held, and they fell to the ground with a clang.

Both sides were extremely quiet, and the soldiers stepped back to the side to make way for an inconspicuous carriage in the middle.

Yu Linlang glanced casually and happened to see the thick curtain slowly hanging on the opposite side.

In a sudden glance, Yu Linlang caught a glimpse of half of a face as cold as snow, with a few strands of silver passing along the car curtain.

"Girl, what are you looking at?" Jiu Jin jumped off the roof of the car, his eyes curious.

Yu Linlang stared at the curtain opposite and said softly, "Well, that's a pity. He is so young and will die soon."

"Ah?" Jiu Jin turned around and looked back, scratching his head, "Which one are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a woman with her head covered in blood rushed out of the crowd with her child in her arms and called for help.

"Doctor, is there any doctor who can help me? Sir, please save my son! Save him!"

The woman was confused, shaking the unconscious child in her arms, and threw herself in front of the young general's horse, crying bitterly.

"Is there a doctor here?" the young general looked around and asked.

"If you shake him again, he will die or be disabled."

Yu Linlang leaned out half of her body and slowly got out of the car, holding Jiu Jin's hand.

 Dear friends, don’t miss it if you pass by. Save and vote. I love you ()~
