A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 43 Refugee Team
Is it to control people, or to control people.

It all depends on how many resources you have.

Having mastered the transformation pool, Bai Xia's innate conditions are superior to these refugees, and what she provides is what they need. Even because of her appearance, it may reduce the occurrence of such things as "changing children and eating". did a good job.

Bai Xia quietly sized up these refugees, observing their words and deeds, and also quietly seeing who was suitable for trading.

When it was dark, there was movement at the gate of the city again, and the middle-aged official took a big step forward, scanning the refugees in front of him.

"The folks have received their own food, so let's go to Quanzhou while it is dark and the weather is not hot."

"What? Let's go now"

"It's pitch black, how can we go?"

"Besides, we haven't eaten all day, and there is no food in our stomachs. How can we have the strength to walk?"

The refugees complained one after another. After receiving the food, they became more confident, and many of them even didn't want to leave.

Again.

No one wants to be a refugee.

And just as Bai Xia thought before, since the government dared to distribute food to the refugees, it had already made preparations for these refugees to take the food and not leave. After a while, he saw twenty officials with bows and arrows coming out from the city gate behind him. As soon as they came out, they drew their arrows and drew their bows, aiming at the thousands of refugees in front of them.

The refugees were startled by the cold bow and arrow. Some refugees who were still lying on the ground even jumped up from the ground.

If these officials took out their bows and arrows when they broke into the city, how would they survive now?

It was also at this time that they really realized that their thin arms couldn't twist their thighs.

"Officer, don't be angry, let's go now"

"Let's go, let's go"

They didn't dare to stay here anymore, they were afraid that some official would let go, and an arrow would be released at that time, which would stab them to death.

"You guys are acquainted"

"Listen to me, I ask you to walk at least sixty miles a day until you enter Quanzhou, and we will send officials to follow. If you find that you haven't traveled sixty miles in a day, don't blame the grandfathers for their ruthless swords."

The middle-aged official had a cold face, iron and blood ruthless.

Having seen him chop off a person's head without changing his face, these refugees believed in his words, and no one dared to perfunctory them.

"come here"

At this moment, the middle-aged officer pointed to a person in the refugee group, and the others subconsciously moved aside to expose that person. This person was none other than the only scholar among the refugees.

He was about twenty years old, and his long gown was already in tatters. He was also one of the people who went to the city to receive food.

Based on the food he brought out, Bai Xia judged that the scholar was a loner, and he didn't know whether his family members passed away or wandered to this place.

"grown ups"

The scholar was also a little flustered, but he could only walk out of the crowd with the only food he had, and bowed to the middle-aged official with the food.

"what is it call?"

"Xiaosheng Wang Lu"

"Have you ever read a book?"

The scholar's face was a bit bitter, he nodded and said: "No talent, I passed the hospital examination by luck."

"It turned out to be Mr. Xiucai, I'm so rude." The middle-aged official sent his hands to Wang Lu, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Wang Lu, and said, "The county magistrate really has no choice, so let everyone Move to Quanzhou, this is the road map to Quanzhou, so I ask the scholar to collect it, and lead the villagers to rush to Quanzhou as soon as possible.”

Suddenly dropping such a big task, Wang Lu only felt terrified, and said repeatedly: "I...I can't do it"

"Scholar is too humble, hurry up and get it, let's go"

"After all, everyone still has to drive sixty miles away."

The middle-aged officer didn't allow him to refuse, so he stuffed the road map and the torch held by an officer next to him into his arms, crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.

Wang Lu felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to refuse any more, so he could only put the grain in his bag and carry it on his back. He shook the topographic map with one hand and looked at it, and then said to the refugees: "Folks, let's go."

After finishing speaking, without looking back, he held a torch and walked ahead.

With him exploring the way ahead, it can also prevent people from falling into the pit.

It's just that the road is dark, and this road is not easy to walk.

The group of officials were not in a hurry, they just watched the refugees leave. They only needed to ride a fast horse after one night, and go forward to see if the refugees had traveled sixty miles. Hurry up.

After the refugees had left, the officials ordered people to close the city gate. Without these refugees, the people of Wu County would feel at ease. They are also worried.

Bai Xia glanced at the city gate unwillingly, then at the two remaining bamboo tubes of water, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to leave.

She doesn't have the ability to climb over the city wall yet.

"Go, follow them"

Bai Xia led Li Xiuyuan, and followed the refugee team in front of him at a distance.

Since there is a torch in front of the road to illuminate the road, you don't have to worry about losing it when you look at it from a distance.

Wang Lu held a torch and walked ahead, fearing that there would be officials following behind, he didn't dare to stop all the way, everyone walked for a full ten miles without saying a word, only a young man couldn't help but came forward and said: "Mr. Xiucai, Everyone hasn’t eaten for a day, and some haven’t even eaten for two days, shall we stop and rest for a while, let everyone eat something, and then continue on our way?”

There is no way, they are illiterate, and they don't even know the way to Quanzhou.

Only this scholar has a road map from the official, if you don't follow him, I'm afraid everyone will go off the road and starve to death halfway.

And Wang Lu was too tired for a long time. Hearing what this person said, he immediately complied.

"Then please tell everyone, let's rest for an hour before leaving."

An hour is enough for everyone to bury the pot for cooking, and even take a nap after eating.

Bai Xia and the others followed behind, seeing the fire slowly igniting ahead, they couldn't help but stop.

The distance between them and the front is about 500 meters, which is not too far.

"Brother Yuan, you wait for me here, I will come back as soon as I go"

Bai Xia put down the basket and took a bamboo tube filled with water with her, then left the spot and walked forward.

"Eh?"

Before Li Xiuyuan could react, she ran away without a trace.

Bai Xia has eaten enough for the past few days, and her martial arts practice has progressed by leaps and bounds.

So soon, the refugee team was approaching.

Because they had to bury pots for cooking, the refugees all lit a fire, which gave Bai Xia a chance to find the person she wanted to find through the light of the fire.

Hiding in the dark, she approached the refugees cautiously.

Soon, she found the person she was looking for.

It was a family with only one man in his prime, three wives, four children and two elderly people.

The man is about 30 years old. One of the three women is about the same age as the man, and the other two are younger than the older woman. It is guessed that they should be the woman's sister-in-law.
