The official road from Shiyan City to Chongzhou City is very spacious, more than two meters wide.
Lu Qingqing and others walked to both sides separately, and their figures were soon blocked by the victims in the middle.
At first, there were only a dozen or so victims in the middle walking in a scattered manner, but not long after, the number of victims in the middle group increased.
Each of these disaster victims was pale and thin, their clothes were tattered, some of them didn't even have shoes and were walking barefoot.
When Lu Qingqing saw this scene, her brows slightly furrowed.
It seems that the number of disaster victims fleeing to Chongzhou City is far more than she imagined!
But Chongzhou City is so small, how can it be divided among so many people?
It has been almost a year since they set out to escape famine. During this year, the imperial court has not given them any instructions, as if they were just dead!
But now Chongzhou City is almost here. Even if we no longer treat them as human beings, we should at least give some instructions or send someone over to inform them of the next arrangements for them?
But they had nothing. This abnormal behavior made Lu Qingqing feel uneasy.
Liang Pei was beside her. Hearing her shaking her head and sighing, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it too hot?"
In the weather in May, even if the sun has just come out for a while in the early morning, as long as people move, they will still sweat profusely!
Lu Qingqing looked down at the ground, then quickly raised her head and said:
"It's not hot, I'm just wondering, should we still go to Chongzhou City? Why did the court arrange for us to settle down in Chongzhou City? A northern mountain city arranged for disaster victims from the south to come all the way here to settle down. Isn't it obvious that they don't want us to live?"
Liang Pei had also thought about these questions that Lu Qingqing asked, and he had the same idea as Lu Qingqing. The court clearly wanted them to die, which was why they came up with such a bad arrangement!
But what if he knew that this was the court's arrangement?
Since ancient times, the people have been unable to defeat the officials. Even if they know there is a tiger in the mountain, they will still go to the tiger mountain.
Otherwise, if they were to settle in another city, they would definitely be treated as traitors the next day!
Liang Pei looked at Lu Qingqing and said thoughtfully: "When we get to Chongzhou City, why don't we go in? Let's take a look at the situation nearby before entering the city?"
Although they had to go to Chongzhou City without negotiation, their lives were still in their hands. As long as they found something wrong inside, they would retreat immediately and never enter the city again!
Lu Qingqing nodded solemnly:
"I hope none of this will be needed. Our concerns are all unnecessary."
Lu Yuanzheng, who had been silent, continued, "No matter how many hardships we have encountered along the way, we have survived all of them safely. Even if Chongzhou City is surrounded by a net of heaven and earth, we can still break through it and get out."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng, who has always been not good at speaking, spoke so eloquently this time!
His words comforted them. The three of them smiled at each other and continued on their journey with confidence on their faces.
The victims walking in the middle of the road had already come out of the fear they had just experienced, and everyone was heading towards Chongzhou City in an orderly manner.
However, this peaceful scene did not last long.
There was a huge commotion not far ahead!
First, a miserable scream broke this peace.
Lu Qingqing looked up and saw the victims in front of her, their faces scattering and running in all directions with the same terrified look as when they had just come out of Shiyan City.
