Chapter 13 Black Wind Ridge

Most of the people stayed in the county town, and only four families came out with the village chief, including the village chief and the Wen family, a total of six families.

Everyone will get together at the gate of the city, and decide to spend the night at the gate of the city, and then head towards the capital early tomorrow morning.

In the evening, everyone gets a bowl of porridge, but it's really porridge. Wen Xin didn't see a few grains of rice until she finished the bowl of porridge.

A lot of people gathered at the gate of the city, and when night fell, the gate suddenly opened wide, and then soldiers in official uniforms came out pushing cart after cart of corpses.

The leading soldier pointed to the dead body on the car and said to everyone: "Look, this is the person who wants to make a living in the city, and you all have to leave here tomorrow morning. If I come tomorrow and see you here, then you will die." It will be the same as them." After speaking, he pointed to the cold corpse on the car.

It was the first time for Wen Xin to see dead people, and there were so many dead people, she was so frightened that she trembled all over.

I thought I was the only one who was frightened, but when I turned around, I found that most of the people were frightened, and the documents were so frightened that they were urinating.

No one dared to argue with the leading soldiers. They were all peasants out-and-out, and they were officials. Even if they killed you, they would be protected by their superiors. What's more, it's a disaster year and human life is worthless.

Although I knew that the ancient times didn't take human life seriously, it was only when I saw Wen Xin that I really knew how to be afraid.When she closed her eyes at night, the corpses stabbed to death by spears would appear in Wen Xin's mind, and she kept opening her eyes until dawn.

At the beginning, Wen Xin still had doubts about the village chief's decision to go to the capital, but now it seems that the only way to go is to leave this road, and he hopes that he can settle down in the capital.

The county magistrate of each county will not allow a large number of refugees to enter the city, but it is not easy to ignore it, so most of them are porridge, but they will not let you stay here for a long time.

There have been several incidents of refugees entering the city to rob food and kill people, and several county magistrates were killed by refugees.

Knowing the county magistrate's fear, Wen Xin bowed behind her back and left the county town together with the village chief, along with other people at the gate of the city, but everyone didn't know each other and was wary of others.

Everyone who knew everyone formed a group and walked together, and those who placed orders were quickly robbed of supplies by others.There were also people who saw that there were a lot of things on the Wen family cart and wanted to grab them, but they were all frightened away by the village head and the crowd.

Wen Desheng even put on a desperate state. If the food was robbed, they would really have no way to survive.I don't have much money on me, and I depend on the food on the cart along the way.

"Grandpa Village Chief, will we really settle down when we go to the capital?" It's been seven days since we left the county town, and we met many refugees on the way, most of them were mentally exhausted, and Wen Xin was even more worried about going. After arriving in the capital, he was still unable to settle down, so he found a chance to ask the village chief.

"To be honest, I don't know, but the people who went to the capital in the past disasters survived the most, and many of them were able to return home. Why didn't they choose the capital if they wanted to escape against the sky?" In his opinion, Wen Xin is more sensible and polite than 15-year-old Wen Sheng.

After listening to the words of the village chief, Wen Xin looked forward to it in her heart, hoping that she could settle down in the capital.

Looking down at the cloth shoes with two toes exposed, she sighed. She only had this pair of shoes, and she didn't know if she could persist in walking to the capital.

Fortunately, the original body has a lot of strength to work all year round, otherwise it would be no wonder that he would not be tired after carrying so many things and walking such a long distance.

She only lives on a few potatoes or red beans every day. If she hadn't often secretly drank the spiritual water in the space, she would have fallen ill a long time ago.

In the past few days, Wen Yue's illness has been repeated repeatedly, Wendi is also ill, Wensheng and Wenshu Wenyuan are both ill, only Wenle and Wenxin are not ill at home.

I quietly went into the space to see, the weeds had grown into pieces, and the hares had made their homes in the space.Looking at those fat rabbits, Wen Xin could only swallow her saliva quietly, but there was nothing she could do with them.

In the past few days, Wenxin has picked up a lot of firewood into the space, but she found sadly that she can't kill rabbits, and the original body has never killed a living being, so she doesn't know how to deal with rabbits.

Wen Xin once thought that after a few days when there was enough firewood, she would kill the rabbit and roast it over fire, and she would not care about the internal organs.

Anyway, no matter what difficulties, don't try to stop her from eating meat.

Wen Xin discovered that the time in the space is the same as outside, but the crops will grow ten times faster than outside.

"Heifengling is ahead, everyone gather together and don't act rashly." The village chief suddenly stopped before walking to a forest and said to everyone.

Heifengling is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Before the disaster came, this was the stronghold of bandits, and the number of bandits in Heifengling also increased a lot after the disaster.

Wen Xin listened to the whispered discussions of the surrounding people, and wondered in her heart, since Heifengling is so dangerous, why didn't he take a detour?After a while, Wen Xin heard the answer.

"If the other official road was not blocked by heavy snow, why would we bother to take the risk of crossing Heifengling?"

"Yeah, it's all to blame for the terrible weather. I hope those mountain bandits are afraid of being cold in the cave and can't come out."

Although we know that this is almost impossible to happen, everyone has fantasies in their hearts.

Almost every family has sick old people and children. Whether everyone recognizes them or not, they have reached a consensus that their current enemy is bandits.

After a while, hundreds of people gathered in the open space in front of the forest, but most of them were the kind of people who were too hungry.Such a person has no fighting power at all, and he may not be able to stop him with a single move when he encounters bandits.

Looking at the food on the trolley, Wen Xin regretted in her heart that she might be peeled off after passing Heifengling this time, if she had known this, she might as well have had enough to eat.

Everyone was unwilling to let bandits take advantage of them, so a few older people with some prestige in the crowd got together and discussed for more than half an hour before they came up with an idea.

"Nowadays, everyone who wants to pass Heifeng Ridge will have to pay a share of supplies. Only in this way can the bandits let us go." Before the village chief finished speaking, the crowd became commotion.

"How can we give food to bandits, so that we can still live?"

"The weather is so bad, we are now relying on this little amount of food to support us. Don't we have to die if we run out of food?"

After all, no one wanted to hand over the food.

The people led by the village head are considered to be a group of people with high combat effectiveness in the crowd. Now that everyone is unwilling to hand over the food, they can only sigh: "Do you think I want to hand over the food? As long as I can think of any other way, I won't give it up." Let everyone hand over the food, if you don’t hand over the food and you can’t get through Heifengling, you will starve to death here, or you will go back to the county and be beaten to death by the officers and soldiers.”

"Although we lost part of our food, as long as we pass Heifengling, we can reach the next county in a day's journey. Everyone can think of a way. It's better than going back and being killed or starved to death."

The village head persuaded them earnestly, and everyone was a little moved.

"But how can we ensure that the bandits only take part of our food? What if the bandits don't agree to let us go after taking the food?" Wen Qingfu thought of these problems with a very flexible mind.

The village head and several older people all looked at Wen Qingfu, thinking that what Wen Qingfu said was very important.
