At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 20 Driving out the refugees
  After asking around all the way, the villagers of Xiushan Village finally found a road that bypassed Anqing City and went to the riverside. It can't be said to be a road. There are high mountains on both sides of Anqing City, and the road is in the mountains and forests on both sides.

This mountain forest is not the same concept as the ones they have walked through before. Before, they walked along the road at the foot of the mountain and did not really enter the mountain forest.

At the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering mountains, the village chief sighed, forget about donkey carts and ox carts, they can't get on, they have to rely on people's backs, and it's realistic, there are so many old people Weak women and children.

The An family stood in the col at the foot of the mountain, looked at the terrain, and said to the village chief: "Village chief's nephew, I think we might as well settle in this col first, and then send someone to the city gate to check the situation. Maybe Can you open the city gate? You see so many people gathering at the city gate, you can't just crowd in here and let no one care.

We have to wait a few days. Look at this road. It gets shaky as you go up. The front is fine, but there are no roads in the deep woods. What will these families do? Even if you arrive in a new place, you can't live without someone to eat and sleep. "

After smoking the dry cigarette, the village chief calmed down a lot. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the col was not safe, so he led people over the first dirt slope, which was considered the first gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. First, try to walk as far into the mountains as possible until you reach a place where the cows and horses don't go. It will be safe. There are so many people in the village, and if two teams randomly come in and rob them in several waves, there will be no place to cry.

The slope was too steep, and it was quite difficult for donkey carts and ox carts to move. People got down and left. A group of people pulled and cracked their whips, and finally got everyone into the forest. Looking at the situation, whether the donkeys and cows can survive depends on whether the city can allow them to pass through as refugees.

They could accept even a little money, and they had plundered a lot of property from the bandits along the way.

An Laoer followed several people from Liu Erhu's security team to the city gate to see the situation.

It takes more than an hour to get to the city gate from here. When a few people squeezed in, the officers and soldiers on the city tower shouted: "Back off, back off, don't push to the city gate anymore. Disperse quickly, don't stay in the city." Stay near the door."

"Sir, please, open the door!"

"Sir, give me some food! People are going to die."

"Sir, when will the imperial court establish a residence?"

All kinds of longing voices have only one purpose, and that is to survive.

An Lao'er saw it from a distance and was very moved. There were a lot of black refugees gathered under the city tower. There were ordinary people wearing linen, some wearing cloth, and some sitting on tall horses wearing silk. What did they look like? Everyone has it. But most of them are ordinary people.

The people on the tower continued to shout for a while, but after seeing no effect, they started throwing stones down. Yes, they were throwing stones to drive them away.

There were thousands of people below, crying and shouting, and chaos immediately broke out under the city gate.

"Sir, what should I do? Throw these small stones, but the crowd still doesn't disperse." The stones were thrown in a certain area, so the refugees moved to another place and continued to wait.

"We cannot let these people stay here. Once they rush into the city, Anqing City will be doomed. There are so many refugees and there is no way we can save them." said the man dressed like a soldier.

"Does the imperial court have any decree for disaster relief? Should we ask for instructions?" The subordinates wanted to find a way out for these refugees, so they reminded the general.

"There is still a war in the north of Huainan. Not to mention the imperial court, even the King of Huainan may not be able to take care of these victims. But we have already gone to Huainan, and everything will follow the instructions of the prince. We will continue to drive away these refugees tomorrow, and we cannot gather more and more. , let’s wait for the rest!”

The King of Huainan is now unable to protect himself in the north, so he has no spare energy to take care of the south. Their Anqing City is close to the river and has a natural barrier.

The imperial court has not taken care of the affairs of the princes and kings for many years. Everyone knows that it is better to rely on the imperial court than on themselves.

An Lao'er and several others were outside. When they returned, they were careful not to find anyone following them, so they returned to the village where they were stationed.

"The situation is not good. We have thrown stones to drive people away today, but the effect is not great. The small stones thrown do not hurt people, they just drive them away."

"They didn't give out porridge to the disaster relief people, nor did they go out of the city gate to drive them away. It's very strange!"

"Is it possible that these officers and soldiers are also waiting for news?"

"Wait if you don't work! But notify everyone, you can be thrown away without unnecessary things. Once there is something, we will continue to enter the mountain. The donkey car is not convenient to continue." We can't find a way out yet,"

"Go and have a good rest!"

An Ningning dispersed her mental energy. There were still some wild animals in the mountains, but she was not in the mood. After hearing what her uncle and the others said, she felt that these people might...
  These are real people!

How can those in power not treat their people well?

Even in the interstellar world, even against enemy countries, there is humanitarian relief.

She saw a crowd of people at the gate of the city. They were all waiting for charity from those in power and a chance to survive.

Seeing that his sister was unhappy, Sanbao specially gave him a fruit that he had just found nearby.

An Ningning touched Sanbao's head, handed the fruit back to him, and lay down to sleep.

Seeing that An Ningning was so wilted, Mrs. An quickly came over and touched her granddaughter's head, "It's not hot either! Ning Bao, what's wrong with you? My darling! You feel so bad for me."

Seeing the tears that An Ningning wanted to cry, Mrs. An began to feel distressed. Along the way, her granddaughter never complained or complained about being tired, and she was always doing well.

Seeing how much the whole family cared about her, An Ningning felt warm in her heart. She shook her head to get rid of all the negative emotions. At least she was with her family.

She wants to protect such a family, no matter how much she is capable of doing.

The whole family felt a little relieved when they saw that she was getting better.

While the villagers were waiting on the hillside, they took turns dividing themselves into several teams to go to the city gate to hear the news.

Once the gate was opened, they immediately went down and passed through it. If the officers and soldiers at the city gate began to drive them away vigorously, they would have no choice but to take the mountain road.

After waiting for a few days, I saw more and more people coming from all directions, and various teams gathered near the city gate.

Finally, on the fourth day, the city gate was opened, but what came out were soldiers on horseback and holding swords. They shouted on the city gate, "Get out of the city gate immediately, or else you will be punished on the spot."

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked. If they really didn't want to provide disaster relief, they could just let these refugees cross the city to make a living on their own!

Even if the victims cannot stay in the city, they can just leave the city directly. After crossing the river, it is a different place. The south of the Yangtze River has been a fertile land since ancient times, and there is still a way to survive across the river.

Unexpectedly, the King of Huainan did not care whether the victims were alive or dead, and would not even let them leave.

Teams of officers and soldiers not only violently drove people away, but also followed people behind them, arresting only young and middle-aged people. For a time, more people fled now.

Some people left their hometowns to avoid military service and fled all the way, only to be captured again just a step away.

Without the order of King Huainan, these officers and soldiers would not dare to do this.

An Laoer realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ran back with the people in the village. The people under the city wall fled in all directions.

This time they were really desperate to escape. Some people even threw away their wrapped children, and there were people crying and howling everywhere.
