Chapter 120 Chaos
He Chunliu was not happy at all because this was her own son, and the two of them started arguing.
Su Bingzhong slammed the table in anger, and this group of people finally brought all the victims in.
The middle-aged man in the lead rushed in and picked up Su Bingzhong who was sitting on the kang. "Old man, you are the village chief, right? Tell me, where is the money at home?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and soon the smell of urine could be smelled. The big man said impatiently, "Where's the food? If you don't tell me, you'll go to hell like that kid outside."
Wang Cuicui screamed and shouted "My son", then rolled to the ground and ran out to find her son, but unfortunately Su Dacheng had already died.
The screams outside the house were heard clearly by the people inside. Su Yuan was still calm and whispered to He Chunliu who was standing in front of her, "Mom, let's run quickly. They won't be able to find the silver."
He Chunliu was startled. Yes, if she didn't run now, would she be killed? Women like them might end up worse than Su Dacheng. He Chunliu gritted her teeth and looked at her son and grandson behind her. The head of the family was gone, and her son couldn't be in trouble again.
"The silver is in the old lady's cabinet, and the grain is in the cellar next to the kitchen."
"Bitch! What are you talking about?"
Su Bingzhong was thrown away after a cry of surprise and anger. The big man hurriedly searched the cabinets, and the people outside also swarmed to search the cellar.
He Chunliu rushed out with his family members, and those people did not stop them. Now these people were mainly asking for food and did not want to kill anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
Su Decai hurried to help Su Bingzhong who had fallen to the ground, and Su Youliang and his family also escaped.
Su Bingzhong fell from heaven to hell in an instant. His eldest son and old wife were murdered. Everyone else ignored him as their father and ran away. In the end, only his second son, whom he despised the most, came to his aid.
"Dad, you can't be in trouble. Don't be angry. I'm with you."
Su Bingzhong looked at his empty-handed home and burst into tears.
The men who robbed the silver and food didn't care about these two men and just left after taking the things. There were several other families in the village and no one could escape.
Ten days later, the villages around Huaiyang County were in chaos, and the homeless villagers all gathered at the city gate. Even the small door at the city gate was closed.
Chen Shi was currently in the empty county government office, and his subordinates were reporting on their work.
"Sir, all the wealthy families in the county have moved away, and the people in the nearby villages are basically gone. Those villagers have all fled along the official road to the gate of Jinyang City. Our people said that the gate has not been opened yet."
Chen Shi snorted coldly, "The emperor asked us to check where the grain sent to the border has gone. This prefect is very problematic. Keep a close eye on it. Is there any water in the county?"
The subordinate looked at Chen Shi in embarrassment and said, "Sir, we only have one bucket of water left. There is no water outside the city now. We have to go into the city to buy water if we want to drink it."
Chen Shi frowned, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Sir, there was originally another tank, but for some reason it cracked last night and all the water in it has flowed out."
"Besides, we're running low on food."
Chen Shi was a little puzzled, "Didn't I leave 5,000 kilograms of food?"
"You were not here this morning, so General Chen sent someone to take you away. He said there was a shortage of food at the border."
The men were very frustrated. The other side had more people than them and they couldn't stop them at all.
"This thief! Didn't I just send him 15 kilograms of food? This should last him at least half a month. They also grow crops themselves, so why are they eyeing our food?"
Chen Shi was extremely angry at this moment, and no longer had the calmness he had in front of Su He and the others.
When the subordinate heard this, he stole a glance at Chen Shi and said, "General Chen said that the five thousand kilograms will be deducted from their food and wages."
"Bandits! Why don't you stop them? What will we eat if they take away everything?"
This accident disrupted all of Chen Shi's plans. Without water and food, how could these people survive outside the city?
A day later, the city gates had not yet opened, and Chen Shi's men could not find anything to eat throughout the entire county. If they waited any longer, the horses would starve to death.
"Sir, there is really no food to be found today. The city gates are closed, and no one answered when I called for help."
Chen Shi sneered, this Yuan guy really doesn't want to live anymore.
"Why don't we go to the border to get some food back? General Chen can't just not give us any. We transported all this from Liushu Village with great effort."
Chen Shi shook his head and thought of Liushu Village. Su He's words somehow came to his mind again.
key?
Damn, it looks like he lost it.
"Let's go, everyone, ride on horseback to Willow Village."
In any case, there should be water in the well in Su Hehua's house, so let's solve the water problem first.
Su He's group traveled day and night and covered half the distance in 10 days.
Before sunset that day, everyone arrived at the new small village. This village was smaller than Xiaoan Village, and the village chief was also very young, only in his twenties.
Zheng Da looked at the visitor strangely, but he didn't say anything, pretending that it was his first time here, "Brother, we are just passing by. It's getting late. I wonder if there is an empty house for us to stay for one night."
The young village chief responded politely, "There are two empty houses. I wonder if they are big enough for you to live in."
"Uncle, there are more than 400 of us. How can two rooms be enough?"
Mu Tou suddenly interrupted, and Zheng Da took the opportunity to turn around and scold, "Nonsense, Xiaohua, quickly pull your brother away, the child is ignorant."
Su He stepped forward and advised, "Little head, listen to your uncle and don't be willful."
"No, no, no."
Su He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Uncle, two houses are really not enough. Why don't we hurry up and go to a bigger village?"
Zheng Da also acted well, pretending to dote on his nephew, "Rebellious son, you are the one who is always bothering me. Village chief, I am sorry to bother you. Let's hurry on. We only have this one kid in our family, and we have spoiled him rotten."
The young village chief smiled as if to persuade them to stay, "It's okay if there are too many people. We can squeeze in a few more rooms and make room for them."
Zheng Da refused apologetically, and after a few pleasantries, Zheng Da led his men back to the team.
I returned to the team and immediately informed everyone to leave.
The villagers behind had become more tacit after these days of cooperation. Although they were a little confused, they still quickened their pace.
The young village chief stood in the distance and watched the group of people leave. When they could no longer see their figures, a few more people suddenly appeared behind him. They looked like they did not look like ordinary villagers.
"Sir, do you need to deal with them?"
The young village chief shook his head slightly. "There are too many of them, definitely more than 400 people. There is no need to alert them. Let's leave quickly."
Su He and his group hurried on with gloomy faces. None of them said a word, and they all escaped in tacit understanding.
Two hours later, those at the back could no longer hold on. It was already pitch dark, and they had to sleep outdoors today.
Zheng Da led his men to search around and finally found a dilapidated temple.
"Lotus, there is a dilapidated temple."
Su He looked better. "Village chief, find some people to clean up the temple. We can only spend one night in the temple today. Everyone hurry up, we have to continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Wang Zhun simply called for people at the back, and the team suddenly became busy.
