At this time, all the refugees became excited and swarmed forward, forcing the marching team to stop on the official road.
The way forward for Jiang Guoguo and his party was blocked, so they had to stop to check the situation.
At this time, grandma and mother also felt bored in the carriage. Taking advantage of the situation outside, they all got out of the carriage.
Many of the refugees who fled all the way here have been without food for many days, although the snowdrifts accumulated from the consecutive days of snow have given them a source of water to quench their thirst.
However, due to famine and winter, granaries in many counties are already in short supply. Prices in towns and cities have skyrocketed. It is too expensive to buy some food. Therefore, many refugees who are strapped can only chew tree bark, eat wild vegetables, and even
It got to the point where children were sold for food.
At this moment, a team escorting military rations passed by. The refugees could no longer bear it and rushed forward one after another.
Facing so many crazy refugees, the soldiers protecting food also had a headache.
At this time, one of the leading soldiers shouted and drew the sword from his waist:
"You unscrupulous people don't want to live anymore? This is military rations!"
The soldier commander looked fierce, but in fact he showed a little helplessness on his brows, and the sword he drew was just to scare these people.
How could he not know that disasters and famines are happening everywhere nowadays?
It snowed several times, and the drought has been somewhat resolved, but it is not completely resolved. Water levels in many reservoirs have still dropped seriously, and rivers and lakes in various places have shown no signs of recovery, and the situation is still bad.
The most serious thing right now is actually famine.
The drought caused a series of chain reactions, resulting in the emergence of refugees in various places.
The emperor ordered the opening of granaries in various places for disaster relief, but there was not much food to be collected in winter, and many granaries were already in deficit.
In addition, every feudal king has his or her own ideas, and if the superiors ask for food to be released, the subordinates may not actually follow the orders.
As a result, the lives of the refugees were extremely difficult.
But what can we do? Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles, wars are raging, and the situation in all war zones is not good.
Their military rations were allocated from the national treasury, so there was only so much.
The frontline soldiers were still waiting to have a full meal before going into battle. Before this, they had neither enough food nor clean water to drink every day.
Although these refugees are pitiful, what will happen to the soldiers if they are given military rations?
The leader's face was solemn, with guilt for these refugees in his eyes, but he could only grit his teeth and wink at the soldiers around him.
The next second, the soldiers showed their swords and began to suppress the people.
Most of the refugees didn't have much courage. When they saw the bright swords appearing one after another, they were so frightened that they quickly backed away.
But the timid will starve to death, the bold will die of hunger, and the extremely hungry will sometimes lose their minds.
After a short pause, some hungry refugees actually picked up their hoes and rushed towards the soldiers.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The soldier commander saw that something was wrong, but he didn't want to hurt the refugees, so he could only lead his men to knock them out one by one with the back of their swords.
When Jiang Guoguo and his party saw this, they couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Guoguo wanted to help, but she was worried that if her wealth was exposed, she would cause even greater trouble.
At the moment, there is no safe way for her to send out the food she has on hand.
Suddenly, the grandma next to Jiang Guoguo became excited and pointed forward with trembling fingers.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Guoguo was the first to notice something unusual about Mrs. Jiang and quickly raised her head to ask.
It was also the first time that Mrs. Lin saw the old lady shaking so badly. She thought she was feeling unwell, so she quickly handed Doudou to her aunt, while she quickly helped Old Lady Jiang up.
Mrs. Jiang was trembling all over and her mouth was trembling. She seemed to have something to say, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat.
After waiting for a long time, the riot of the refugees at the other end was suppressed, and Mrs. Jiang finally found her voice and said tremblingly:
"Xiaoyun, Guoguo, old lady, I seem to have seen other people in our village who have joined the army."
As soon as Mrs. Jiang said these words, Lin and Jiang Guoguo were shocked.
"What are you talking about? Who did you see?" Mrs. Lin suddenly became excited and grabbed Mrs. Jiang's arm.
The movement here attracted the attention of Lu Baoshan and others, and they gathered around them one after another.
"Mei, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she almost shed tears.
"Brother and sister, I saw a few people from the same village. They all joined the army with Tianjun Tianjie and the others. My eldest grandson can be found again!"
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she covered her mouth and started crying with Mrs. Lin, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Baoshan and the others were also excited after hearing this.
When they met, they heard about the situation of the Jiang family, that Mrs. Jiang's son was missing and that her two grandsons had enlisted in the army, and they became worried at that time.
The war was chaotic, and most of the soldiers who went to war before they were twenty years old did not end well.
But now I see my fellow villagers escorting military rations here, can’t I guarantee that the Jiang family’s two children are also here?
