Chapter 62

"What?" A villager couldn't help exclaiming, five hundred wen, not fifty and five wen, they can't earn a few hundred wen a month, it's too dark.

Five hundred Wen per person, and the number of people in the family is several taels. It is really rare to be able to come up with this amount of money. No wonder there are so many victims outside.

It's true that Lijia Village is relatively rich, but after such a long time of fleeing famine, the little money in everyone's hands has almost been consumed, and how many people can afford it.

Village Chief Li was also startled, he knew the news he wanted and hurriedly backed away before being bombarded, he finally understood why only a few people came in and out of the huge city gate.

I can't get in at all!
Everyone who returned to the place of detention had a bad expression on their faces. They didn't expect such a result.

Didn't it mean that Yunzhou accepts refugees?Could it be that what they heard was wrong?
All of them looked like mourners.

So... the parents and officials in Chixian County set such harsh conditions because they wanted to make a fortune, or they didn't want to take in the victims at all.

After thinking about it, it is also true. The disaster victims are not easy to control, and there are many people who are prone to chaos. No one would want to do this kind of thing.

Even if they are ordinary people, they also know that the current court is fatuous, and the inaction of officials is even more common. Who cares about the people at the bottom who are displaced.

For their own peace of mind, shouldn't they have gotten used to such things along the way?

But there is still a sense of helplessness in my heart, how should disaster victims like them, who are like duckweed and worse than grass wandering around, survive.

It was impossible to enter the city, and it was even more impossible to settle down. For a while, the people in Lijia Village were in a low mood, and confusion appeared in their eyes again.

"Okay, everyone, stop thinking about it, the living can still be suffocated to death by urine, and the state of Jin is growing, and you can always find a place to stay, just keep going."

The village chief, who had been frowning since he came back, knocked the cigarette holder in his hand and said to the villagers.

What can I do if I don't keep going?The people in Li Family Village were silent.

Gulan didn't comment. From the attitude of the gatekeepers and these harsh conditions, it can be seen that the parents and officials here are not very good.

In the small town of Lingshan, there are wealthy households giving porridge, but in the huge Chicheng, they use weapons to target the victims outside the city gate, let alone giving porridge. Gulan, a county town like this, doesn't want to be there.

Leaving Quran is 100% agreeable.

"Let's take a break, and continue to set off after noon." Village Chief Li said again with a sigh.

Neither can enter the city nor need to stay here, Village Chief Li can't help but sigh at the thought of the long detour.

According to the current situation, I don't know if I can find shelter before winter comes. The wrinkles between the eyebrows are deep enough to trap a fly to death.

Just as everyone was resting, the gate of the city was opened a small hole, and a group of people walked out from the inside.

Then the gong sounded, and there was shouting at the same time.

Even the people in Lijia Village could hear it clearly even if they were far away. It turned out that they went out of the city to buy people.

Except for the elderly, men and women, regardless of size, as long as they are qualified, the prices for adults and children are different, and good-looking men and women are the most preferred, and the price will be doubled.

The things obtained can be food or money, depending on individual circumstances.

Gu Lan found that many disaster victims at the gate of the city were very moved, and many people came forward to inquire.

No one in Lijia Village stepped forward. This kind of thing was strictly prohibited in their village before fleeing from famine. Anyone who sells their sons and daughters before starving to death will be stabbed in the back by the villagers for a lifetime and be killed. won't be able to hold his head up.

Unless you really can't survive and want to find a way for your child to survive.

Of course, there are also some people who are naturally selfish. As long as they can live, such people can do things without conscience.

Here, Gu Lan really realized the cruelty of the feudal society, and buying and selling people can be legal here as long as there is official authorization.

Of course, this must be the case where both parties are willing and have a sales contract. Abduction and trafficking is still a serious crime here. Once it is seized, it is a serious crime of beheading.

The whole transaction process lasted for an hour, and all the food they brought was replaced by live people, who were tied to ropes and entered the city one by one like livestock.

It was a very ironic scene. They who begged for not being able to enter the city before no matter what, just went in so easily, and gave their family and children in exchange for breathing time.

"Father" An An was a little scared to snuggle into Gulan's arms.

From a distance, he saw the tied people walking together one by one. Although they were small and didn't know what they were doing, he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing.

"It's okay, An'an is not afraid, they just want to live."

It has to be said that this may be their only way of survival.

Although it was heavy, everyone seemed to have gotten used to it, except for Gu Lan, everyone's expressions didn't change much.

Time passed unknowingly, and the people in Lijia Village began to pack up and prepare to leave after noon.

Gu Lan also set up the carriage, and the three little guys and Dahei were nestled in the carriage, ready to start at any time.

Just like leaving Lingshan Town, the road to Chicheng is impassable, so if you want to reach the next city, you have to take a detour.

Gulan and the others quickly disappeared outside Chicheng Gate.

On the city gate tower, a city guard was shaking his purse, looking gloomy in the direction in which the Li family villagers left.

"Head, just let them leave like this." The soldier in rattan armor pointed in the direction where Lijiacun disappeared.

"What's the rush, they won't be far away, let's talk about it after dark."

"Then I'm relieved," said the soldier with a sinister smile.

The group of disaster victims outside the city gate had nothing to gain, and the new fish couldn't make them run too fast.

Gulan and the others didn't know that they were already being missed, and they were walking on a small road to detour through Chicheng at this time.

The speed was much slower than the previous half day, obviously affected by Chicheng's refusal to accept the news of the victims, and the mood has not yet recovered from the downturn.

I am also a little confused about the future. I don't know when I will go, when I will stop, and when I will have my own home again. If there is still the leader of the village head, everyone really doesn't know what to do. it is good.

The village head also saw that the villagers were not in the right mood, so he stood on the bullock cart under the worry of his family regardless of his age.

He yelled back vigorously: "Give me some energy, Jin is as big as I said before, there is always a place for us, not every city is the same."

"Think about our children, not for anything else, but for our descendants to have an upright and good citizen status. Are you willing to let your descendants become refugees and be looked down upon everywhere? Everyone must persevere, isn't it just walking? ? I have persisted for so long, and the next road will definitely work.”

Thanks to being the village chief, he knows what is the most important thing in the hearts of the villagers. After these words, everyone's heart was shocked, and their eyes became much clearer. Looking at the children around them, they instantly knew what to do.

"Village chief, I'm sorry for making you worry all the time," someone in the crowd said immediately.

"I'm sorry, everyone just figured it out. Let's go. The road is still long. If you can walk a little longer now, you can walk a little less in the future." Village Chief Li said again.

The awakened people nodded one after another, and their steps quickened.

This is a good village chief, and Gu Lan finally understood why the people in Lijia Village were so united.

After this episode, the speed of the team was significantly faster, and they stopped by a river before night fell.
