Chapter 21
The officials came in time, and soon a group of officials rushed to rescue the emergency with long knives in their hands.

When those turbulent people saw the official post, they became nervous subconsciously. Seeing that the situation was about to be controlled, many people with swords jumped out from the dark in several directions and rushed towards the official post.

"Officer dog, take your life!"

"Take my land, rob my ancestral house, I will fight with you!"

"Death, die for me!"

"Everyone, come on, take back our land, take back our house!"

As if stimulated by these words and sympathized fiercely, those who saw that the officials were frightened picked up their weapons and roared again.

"Brother, why are they so angry? Did these officials really rob their houses and land?" Zheng Erqiao asked suspiciously.

Zheng Daqiao sighed: "That's right, but they are obviously being used." It's just a riot launched by some people who want to take advantage of the fragile psychology of these people.

Because these people suddenly resisted, coupled with the sudden mob, it was obvious that a team of officials could not resist.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city looked anxious and hesitant. Just as they were hesitating whether to help, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's not good, it's not good! It's flooded!"

The gatekeeper was startled, immediately picked up his long knife and ran towards the water.

You must know that flooding was a terrible thing in ancient times. If the fire cannot be extinguished in time, I am afraid that the loss will be heavy!
As soon as the gatekeepers left, Ma Da came back quietly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Zheng Daqiao only nodded to him, and with a wave of his hand, the city gate opened wide, and a group of people galloped on horseback.

The city gates and walls are thick, unlike some modern tofu projects, so the sound insulation effect is good, and because of this, the gate guards outside the city did not realize that the city was in chaos.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open, they were a little surprised, but before Zheng Daqiao had time to explain, he led his men and horses and ran out.

When the refugees outside the city saw this, their eyes lit up, and they all stood up with a clatter.

"The city gate is open! This time I must rush in!"

"The magistrate of the county has finally done a good thing hahaha, son, we can go to the city!"

"Hurry up, rush in while the soldiers don't close the door!"

"Stop squeezing"

Zheng Daqiao saw that the refugees were so crazy, he kept shouting: "There is a riot in the city, don't go in!"

He yelled several times in a row, but most of the people fell into madness, and few people could pay attention to what Zheng Daqiao said.People who can notice are pushed around by the refugees, there is no room to hide!
When the refugees crossed the barriers and reached the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the gate without support from the city were eventually torn open by the refugees and took the time to break into the city.

The soldier only had time to say: "Don't go in, there's a riot inside."

Immediately thereafter, the screams of refugees were heard.

At this time, the people in the city have gone crazy.Not only the people who took the lead in causing trouble, but also the shopkeepers and stall owners who caused trouble, they were fighting and shouting at each other.It is mixed with the suppression of officials, and the flames in the distance.

The sound of killing, firefighting, pleading for help, and despair all entered my ears.

The villagers of Xiushui Village had already started to retreat during the riots, and they were smart enough to follow Zheng Daqiao in the direction he was fleeing.

Xia Huai took the time to look back, and there was even more chaos behind her.

Many people took advantage of the riots to rob and rob, whether it was food, gold or silver, even people or clothes, there were people who robbed them.

This is not the world, this is clearly purgatory!

Some people even saw the fleeing people chasing after them, and as the riots became more and more chaotic, rescuers finally came from the officials. They all wore official uniforms with solemn faces, and they grabbed and tied up everyone, no matter the good or the bad. .

After arresting the people in the city, they didn't stop. Instead, they started to arrest outside the city, and a group of people rushed to chase after the fleeing people.

Xia Huai shuddered, and quickly urged Xia Dashan who was driving the car: "Father, hurry up, hurry up!"

Their mules are not as fast as horses, not only can't catch up with Zheng Daqiao and others, but they can't get rid of the officials behind them.What's more, most people don't have cars and horses to travel.

Although people with cars extended a helping hand, most people were left far behind.

Some of them gritted their teeth and ran in other directions, and some chose to give up and stood there stupidly waiting for the officials to arrest them.

Xia Huai didn't have time to sympathize with them, so she could only keep telling her father to hurry up and hurry up.

However, God just likes to play tricks on people. They actually came to a cliff, and if they went any further, it would be a dead end!
"God! What can we do?" Liu Qiuhe cried while wiping away tears.

Xia Dazhuang couldn't help shouting: "Don't cry! Are you afraid that the officials will not find us?!"

With a sullen old face, Mrs. Feng calmly commanded: "Hide the food somewhere, and let's escape separately!"

"Mother!" Xia Dahai was the first one who was unwilling: "This is not good, what if we are arrested separately? Will we still be able to get together?"

Mrs. Feng pursed her lips tightly: "At this moment, there is no other way. Come on, hurry up, don't hide the food in one place, and you won't be hungry when these officials stop checking."

Xia Huai couldn't help giving Mrs. Feng a thumbs up for her decisiveness, but she still reminded: "Grandmother, why don't we decide on a meeting place, if we can't get together, we will meet in Huating County when the time comes, how about it? "

Granny Feng raised her eyebrows, looked at her youngest granddaughter, and couldn't help but nodded appreciatively: "Okay, just follow Xiaohuai's order."

Seeing that Mrs. Feng had no intention of changing her mind, the rest had no choice but to hide food.Fortunately, there are forests near this cliff, so it is not difficult to find a place to hide food.

But most people choose to find low-lying places and put some straw to bury them.Some picked up a shovel to dig a hole and stuffed grain into the hole.

As for money and the like, it must be carried with you.

She avoided her parents and the others and chose to hide Xia Huai's food by herself. In fact, she waved her sleeves and directly hid the food in the space.

If there is one place in the world that is the safest, it must be her space!

When she came back, Mrs. Feng was distributing the prepared cooked food to everyone: "Everyone take some water and dry food with them, and eat dry food first when you are hungry. I don't know how long it will take for this storm to pass, so you have to save some food! "

Xia Huai thought for a while, put down the sack she was carrying, and took out a bag of things from it.

"Grandmother, I have the multigrain biscuit I brought back here. This biscuit is very hungry and can be stored for many days. Share a few pieces with each of you!"

This is the compressed biscuit she exchanged in the space before. A box of 100 yuan cost her a total of 99 points.The taste is not good, but it smells mellow. It is said that it is so cheap because of the preferential price. Other messy flavors cost 120 points per box.

When she was on the road, she had nothing to do while sitting in the mule cart, so she peeled off the wrapping paper in the space. At this time, there were compressed biscuits wrapped in oiled paper in the sack.
