The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two were in a state of panic.

When the figure of the Taoist Wuwei gradually faded away and disappeared from sight, Qin Shou slowly walked out of the quiet grove.

He looked at the gate of Lingshui City and saw many mortals gathering from all directions.

These mortals all had yellow faces and tattered clothes. It was obvious that they were a group of displaced refugees.

At the gate of Lingshui City, there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing black armor and heavy iron helmets. They held cold long spears and blocked the entry of these disaster victims like a steel barrier.

From time to time, there were shouts of rebuke: "Leave quickly and go beg somewhere else. We don't have any extra food to give out in Lingshui City."

"Sir, please be kind and give us some food. My child hasn't had a bite of food for several days."

I saw a woman in gray cloth holding a girl as thin as a bean sprout, kneeling on the ground together, kowtowed to the officers and soldiers, and the sound of banging echoed in the air, which made people feel pity.

"What's the use of kowtow! Get out!" The soldiers looked ferocious and shouted viciously.

"Mom... I'm hungry..."

After the girl shouted weakly, her little head tilted and she fainted beside the woman.

The woman hugged her daughter who fainted from hunger tightly, and grabbed the trouser leg of an official with trembling hands, crying: "Official, please be kind and have mercy. There is no more food, my child is really starving to death..."

"I said there is no food, so there is no food. You savage woman, let go!"

The soldier was immediately furious, and seemed to be extremely disgusted with the dirty hands of these disaster victims.

But the woman still refused to give in, tightly grasping the soldier's trouser legs, two lines of tears flowed from her dirty eyes, instantly blurring her already dirty face, "Please be kind, I don't want too much, just a bite of bread is enough. My baby is dying, her father has starved to death, I can't lose her again."

The disaster victims around also followed suit and begged, kneeling on the ground together, crying out sadly: "Official, we heard that Lingshui City was distributing relief grain, so we came here from afar, please be merciful and give us some food, otherwise we will all starve to death here!"

Their sad appearance, in this bleak atmosphere, is even more desolate and helpless.

At this moment, a man in his forties wearing a general's armor and with a very thick beard shouted angrily: "Where is the relief food? Get out of here!"

However, when he spoke, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, as if these disaster victims had accidentally revealed some unspeakable secrets.

But these disaster victims were not willing to leave obediently. They had no extra food to support them to go to the next city to beg.

Seeing this, the general was furious and cursed in his heart, how dare these lowly people disobey my orders!

Then, he shouted to the other soldiers: "Go, drive them ten feet away from the city gate. If they insist on not leaving, just kill them!" After that, the general stepped forward quickly and kicked the shoulder of the woman who was hugging the girl.

"Ah——" the woman screamed miserably, and the huge force directly kicked her thin body away like a fallen leaf, rolling on the ground for several rounds.

Fortunately, the girl was held tightly in her arms, so she was fine.

The disaster victims who were traveling with her hurriedly helped her up, stared at the officers and soldiers with wide eyes, and shouted in unison: "You crazy beasts, it's okay not to give food, but you actually beat people!"

A man wearing a Confucian scarf pointed at the officers and soldiers and said angrily: "You must have embezzled the food!"

"You corrupt officials embezzled the relief food, you will not die well!"

The general was instantly unlucky when he heard this. The governor had previously issued a clear order not to allow any refugees to enter the city or give any food.

And if the disaster victims don't obey, they can be driven away by any means!

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Go, kill all these unruly people!"

At this order, the other soldiers surrounded them with long spears in hand.

The sharp long spears exuded bursts of cold air, and the victims saw this

Everyone was trembling, huddled together, gasping for breath due to hunger, and had no extra energy to escape.
