Chapter 110 Entering the City

  Nie Changping was aggrieved: "Didn't you finish eating too?"

  Luo Qinghan asked, "Can you compare with me?"

  Nie Changping dared to be angry but didn't dare to say: "That, that is naturally incomparable."

  Under the cold gaze of His Royal Highness, Nie Changping could only bite the bullet and ate the remaining steamed buns.

  The road is calm and calm.

  Ten days later, the merchant ship docked at Xin'an Ferry near Jingshou County.

  Luo Qinghan and his party disembarked here.

  Xin’an Ferry is near Xin’an County, where it has not rained for four months, but because it’s close to Yijiang, the people bring water back from here every day, barely able to survive.

  They lived in Xin'an County for one night, bought two carriages and five horses the next day, and entered Jingshou County along the official road.

  According to the agreement, they will meet in Gangu County in Jingshou County.

  Gangu County is located in the hinterland of Jingshou County. After the tributary is successfully excavated, the river will flow down the tributary and will converge into a lake in the low-lying areas of Gangu County.

  After the lake is formed, they will hold a rain prayer ceremony at the lake.

  Luo Qinghan sat in the carriage and drove the curtains. He saw that the crops on the roadside were all dry and the soil was dry and cracked.

  A few peasants squatted on the ridge and cried, crying desperately.

  The more they go into Jingshou County, the worse they will see.

  It never rains, there is no harvest in the fields, and many people have nowhere to go.

  There are yellow-faced and thin refugees everywhere, and heart-piercing cries can be heard from time to time.

  This is a scene that Luo Qinghan and Nie Changping have never seen before.

In the past, they could only learn about the drought from the memorials requested by the officials, but the officials said that a certain place was affected by the drought. How many people have been starved to death, they are talking about some very general things, and it does not sound particularly serious.

   But now, those general digits have become reality, and they are placed in front of them, letting them see with their own eyes how crazy people can do when they are hungry to the extreme.

   Selling children and girls, beating, smashing and robbing, gnawing bark and eating Guanyin soil.

  If this continues, they are afraid that even people will dare to eat.

  Luo Qinghan no longer wants to read.

  He and Nie Changping no longer dislike the unpalatable buns anymore.

  The carriage drove along the official road for ten days, and finally saw the gate of Gangu County.

  The gates of Gangu County were closed, and many victims with yellow faces gathered outside the city. These victims were unable to live their lives at home and wanted to go to the city to beg, but the gates were closed tightly. They could not enter, so they could only squat outside the city.

  When they saw a carriage approaching the city gate, they all swarmed over, begging for food around the carriage.

  A lot of similar things have been encountered along the way. The guards are very experienced. Without a word, they pulled out the saber at the waist. The knife was bright and sharp, scaring the victims back in a hurry.

  The carriage went to the gate of the city.

  The guard stepped forward and called the door.

  The head of a veteran protruded above the city wall, and the veteran rushed down and shouted, "Who are you?"

  The guard said: "We came from the north, and we want to spend a night here. This is our road quote."

  He took a copy of the paper from his arms and raised it at the people on the tower.

  After a while, the city gate opened a gap.

  Yang's hand stretched out from the crack in the door.

  The guard thought he wanted to read the road quotation, so he handed it over.

  Who knows that the yakuza pushed the Wen Yan away, and said in a bad mood: "What are you giving me this for? What I want is the entrance fee. Everyone is ten taels of silver. Get the money!"

    Xianyu has started PK, please readers, please vote for your support. Whether Xianyu can pass the customs is up to you, let's cheer! (make a fist)
