Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

In the following days, they kept walking towards the north, and after unremitting efforts, they finally reached a city where there was no drought.

But the absence of drought does not mean that this place has not been affected by drought.

Countless refugees gathered at the city gate, but the gate was closed tightly and there was no sign of it being opened.

Their team had inquired and learned that the city had opened its doors to receive refugees in the beginning, but as the number of refugees grew, the city could no longer support itself.

The angry refugees were irrational. Without food, water or shelter, they immediately became chaotic and rioted everywhere in the city. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil.

In the end, the riot was suppressed with great difficulty only by the army in the city, but many soldiers died in the process.

All the refugees who were causing chaos were killed, and even those who had been resettled were driven out of the city.

From then on, the city closed its gates and no longer accepted refugees.

When everyone in the team heard the news, they knew there was no hope of taking the city, so they didn't delay and continued on their journey.

But the following cities all kept their gates tightly closed, and refused to open them no matter how much the refugees outside begged.

These cities had heard about what happened to the previous cities and learned their lessons, so naturally they would not open their gates.

There was no choice but to keep going.

During this period, everyone was really desperate. They finally arrived at a place without drought or war, but they were blocked outside the city gate again and again. Everyone had hope and disappointment again and again. No one knew how long they had to go and where they would find a place to stay.

But it wasn't long before they heard good news.

One day they heard the news that the new emperor had ascended the throne and ordered all cities to open their gates to accept and settle the refugees. At the same time, the new emperor also sent an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief.

They also heard that the new emperor had sent troops to suppress the rebellious Prince An and rioters in various places, and was said to have won a great victory.

When everyone heard the news, they knelt down to thank the new emperor and shouted "Long live the emperor!". The same thing happened in Baiyin's team.

Many people were crying and laughing at the same time.

They finally had a place to stay and no longer had to keep walking.

Everyone had a very hard time along the way, and countless people died or were injured. In fact, when we got to the end, many families had run out of food, and in the end they could only dig up wild grass, tree roots, and tree bark to eat.

The situation is better in places where there is no drought.

Everyone still had money, so although they couldn't enter the city, they could buy some food from the villagers. If that didn't work, they could also dig wild vegetables and find wild fruits along the way.

That's how everyone survived.

Now that they knew the good news, everyone immediately rushed towards the nearest city.

There are many people who have the same actions as them.

Everyone had a sense of crisis. They had to get to the city first. Otherwise, if the city couldn't accommodate so many refugees, they would have to go to another city.

So everyone tried their best to walk as fast as possible, determined to be the first to arrive.

By the time they reached the nearest city, there was already a queue at the gate, as people closer by who had heard the news had already arrived.

This is Wucheng in Ningzhou. Ningzhou is very close to the border. Wucheng is a big city in Ningzhou.

Everyone obeyed the city's arrangements and no one made trouble, for fear that the city would no longer want them.

When it was Baiyin's team's turn, the person in charge of registration looked at them in surprise several times because there were so many of them.

You know, although they have seen people fleeing famine together, they have definitely never seen a group of so many people.

These people are not only lucky, but also very capable. Only with luck and ability can they bring so many people here.

When the people around heard that Baiyin and his friends were from the same village, they were very envious. Some of them thought of their family and friends who had died on the road and burst into tears uncontrollably.

After completing the registration, Baiyin and his companions were taken to a place in the city that was specially set up to accommodate refugees.

When I got there, I saw that there were already a lot of people there.

When Baiyin and his group arrived, everyone looked up at them, but none of them were interested, and then went about their own business.

When they realized that these newcomers were a group, everyone was very afraid of them and stayed away from them. They would never disturb them or talk to them.

They stayed here for several days before anyone came to pay attention to them. Before that, they just came to distribute porridge when the time came and no one talked to them much.

The village chief did send someone to inquire with the person in charge of distributing porridge, but he found out nothing.

It’s not that those people don’t say anything, but they don’t know when and how the people above will arrange them.

The people who came now were here to take them to settle down.

Baiyin and his team were assigned to one place.

In fact, when the people above knew about the existence of this whole village, they did consider breaking them up. After all, they were afraid that so many acquaintances would gather together and cause trouble.

But after some consideration, they did not separate them. Instead, they gave them a piece of land and let them form a new village.

This arrangement is not only convenient, but also easy to manage.

Baiyin and the others were taken to the place assigned to them. It was really bare here, with nothing there. They had to do everything by themselves.

Despite this, everyone was full of energy. After fleeing for so long, they could finally settle down. No one wanted to live a life of displacement anymore.

The government also allocated land to them. Although they had to reclaim the land themselves, the government stipulated that they did not have to pay taxes in the first three years.

They were not afraid of clearing wasteland because they had plenty of strength, and everyone was happy that they finally had land.

When they finish building their houses, they can go back to their old lives. Not necessarily rich, but stable.

So everyone started working enthusiastically.

Because everyone needed to build a house, the village chief gathered everyone together, allocated tasks uniformly, and worked together.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Lian’s family has separated, and they said that their houses will not be built together.

Since the deaths of Zhou Mu, the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Dazhu, and Yu Dani, the only members of the Zhou family left are Zhou Lian and his family, the mother and son Wang Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaofei from the first wife's house, Zhou Sen, the third son of the Zhou family, and Zhou Lanhua.

Ever since those three people left, the remaining few people couldn't hold on at all and had no opinions of their own on a daily basis.

Moreover, without the two old ones, Zhou Dazhui and Yu Dani, to suppress them, the remaining few had no scruples and no one was willing to submit to anyone else. They quarreled every day on the way to escape.

Moreover, without the second wife as their target for bullying, their previously harmonious relationship immediately began to crack. They quarreled every day over who did the work, and sometimes even got into physical combat.

But it made Zhou Lian laugh.

Zhou Lian sneered disdainfully. In their previous life, because they had this common goal, they loved each other very much.

It’s so satisfying to see them fighting each other now!
