Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 108 Stealing Water
"Mom, is it the same in Wushan County as in Qingyuan County? There is a place for distributing porridge at the gate of the county town, and those people went to the gate."
This was also Jiang Jiang’s first thought, but it was different from what she had heard from other people about the Wushan County magistrate.
The magistrate of Wushan County, who did not even spare the grain stored in people's homes, actually distributed porridge at the gate of the county town. It was unreasonable no matter how you thought about it.
But apart from this reason, Jiang Jiang couldn't think of any other reasons.
The brothers in the family went to Master Zhou for classes every day without fail. According to the news brought back by Li Dongliang, the Zhou family planned to make another replenishment in Wushan County, because the next destination after Wushan County was Jiangzhou, and it would take a full month on the road.
Jiang Jiang had the same idea. If she could go into the city, she could look around and see if she could stock up on some good things.
It was still a day's journey to Wushan County, and at this point there were almost no refugees on the road.
Even Mr. Zhou couldn't help but praise the magistrate of Wushan County for his good public security. Jiang Jiang felt that something was wrong but she couldn't find out the reason.
These past two days they were finally able to cook during their breaks. Jiang Jiang cooked a pot of porridge and added a few slices of bacon and pickles. Everyone ate voraciously.
This time, Li Shuming informed the villagers in advance and planned to send someone to follow the Zhou family into the county to buy some supplies. Jiang Jiang was also relieved this time, as she didn't have to worry about the petty people saying that she was taking advantage of the villagers.
This time she wanted to see what they could buy if she let them buy it themselves.
It has to be said that a poor family becomes rich on the road. In just such a short journey, many families have spent a lot of their savings of several generations.
It was just that everyone’s thoughts were beautiful, and even Jiang Jiang didn’t expect that Wushan County would become like this.
When they were far away from Wushan County, they heard the sound of fighting.
Flames shot up to the sky, wailing was everywhere, the city gates were lost, and countless refugees squeezed into Wushan County like zombies attacking a city.
They robbed anyone they saw and stuffed any food they saw. These people had lost their minds. Even though the officers and soldiers had sharp blades in their hands, they could not hold out for even an incense stick of time due to the absolute numerical advantage.
The government office was smashed and the county magistrate was so panicked that even his official hat fell off. He cared more about his life than the official hat.
But the refugees already hated him to the core, so how could they let him go?
They blocked the county magistrate at the door, forced him to bark like a dog and slap himself in the face. Just when he thought he would be let off, these people cut him open.
"I want to see if this county magistrate has a black heart."
Perhaps some refugees were just trying to survive, but when they entered the county town, jealousy and hatred prevailed.
Their family members are dead, so why are these families in the county still alive and well?
The tragic scenes of torture and killing can be seen everywhere. Countless people have been blinded by bloodlust and have turned from being bullied into executioners.
Everyone in the Zhou family and everyone in Daxi Village were speechless for a long time after seeing what happened in Wushan County.
They were stunned by the cruel scene.
They thought these refugees were being helped, but they didn't expect that they had been forced to rebel.
"Let's go! Let's leave here quickly!" Mr. Zhou immediately told everyone in the Zhou family to change direction and head directly towards Jiangzhou, not daring to stay here any longer.
What if those refugees cause trouble for them?
Now those people are so bloodthirsty that they don't care about their relatives.
They forgot about the idea of going into the city for supplies.
Everyone was just busy hurrying on their way, trying to escape from here for their lives.
"Grandma, will we become like that too?"
Li Laibao pointed in the direction of Wushan County and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Jiang held him in his arms and patted his back gently.
"No, as long as you are here, our family will be safe and sound."
Jiang Jiang's words seemed to have magical power. After hearing them, Li Laibao finally came to his senses and burst into tears.
After he cried, Jiang Jiang felt more relieved. She was afraid that the child was frightened and thought that if he cried and vented his emotions, he would be fine.
The events in Wushan County cast a gloomy shadow over everyone's hearts.
It would take them a month to reach Jiangzhou without any supplies.
This month's estimate is still based on an optimistic scenario. No one knows what will happen along the way.
Mr. Zhou was no longer cheerful every day. Wushan County was in such a state, so he had no idea what the situation was like in Jiangzhou.
This group of people is like a small boat in the tide of the times. If they are not careful, they will be overturned by the waves and sink to the bottom of the water.
Their destination was Jiangzhou, but the further south they went, the hotter the weather became, and the streams, rivers and pools that they had occasionally encountered became increasingly rare.
In addition to food, everyone faces another serious problem - lack of water.
Jiang Jiang scratched his itchy hair. His family hadn't washed with water for several days. In addition, the weather was hot and they had been running around all day, making them dusty and exhausted. Everyone exuded a strange smell.
Jiang Jiang's family has many water buckets, so they can store more water. Apart from drinking some water occasionally, the family does not waste any water. For now, they can hold on for another four or five days.
But some families are not so lucky.
"Village chief, can you give me some more water? I can not drink it, but my children at home will not survive if they don't drink it."
Whenever Li Shuming heard such words, his head would get bigger.
He had no way to solve these problems.
At the beginning, many families were willing to share their water. After all, they would be able to find a water source in a few days. But now they have been walking for almost a week, and there is nothing but endless cracked earth.
"Grandma, have a drink of water." Li Laibao and his friends returned home from Zhou's house after studying. He opened the stopper of the bamboo tube cup made by Li Sheng for him and handed the cup to Jiang Jiang.
Li Sheng and Sun Qiaoqiao on the side felt somewhat relieved.
This child was very smart since he was young. He knew to get some water from Zhou's house every day to give him milk.
Jiang Jiang just took a sip to moisten his cracked lips, then returned the cup.
"Come on, baby, drink the milk, you can drink the rest yourself."
Li Laibao handed the cup of water to his parents and two sisters, and they all just took a sip.
Everyone in the family knows that we should drink less water unless it is absolutely necessary.
In the evening, Jiang Jiang gave each person some of the fried noodles she had made earlier. After thinking about it, she added a little water to the noodles, turning them into a paste.
"what!!!"
"Well, you are so brave that you dare to steal water!"
After a loud cry, the scene became chaotic.
By the light of the campfire, Jiang Jiang saw a boy being chased and beaten, and the person beating him...
Liang Xiaohua?
