It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. This Huo? was too bold. How could he confront these soldiers head-on? What if they were arrested and thrown into jail?

Duan Zhili was just about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. After all, they were under the emperor's feet and could not be allowed to be so presumptuous. If Huo and Huo really did not want to work, they would just do more work when the time came.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard a heart-wrenching cry. He turned his head in shock and saw that it was Ning Jing who was wailing loudly.

She cried and shouted, "Dad, what should we do? Our home is gone again. How are we going to sleep tonight? And what are we going to eat? I'm so hungry. We came back too late. Not even a grain of rice is left in the house. Even our cows are dead."

What should we do? Is this uncle here to help us? Should we stay at his house? But will there be enough room for so many of us? Will they provide us with food and drink?

Ning Jing wiped his eyes while crying, but he had the same personality as Ning Yan, not one to express his emotions openly, not as dramatic as his brother. After wiping for a long time, only two tears fell, and they were because he rubbed his eyes until they hurt, and he couldn't help but let them fall.

If Huo Yun was awake, he could definitely act more realistically, and his tears would be earth-shattering and make the gods and ghosts weep. But unfortunately, he was now sleeping on Huo Yun's shoulder like a dead pig.

Ning Yan, who was about to retort to Han Ping, immediately turned around and looked in his direction when he heard Ning Jing crying.

The moment his eyes met Ning Yan's, he understood that his wife had done it on purpose.

So he turned calmly towards Duan Zhili and the others and gave them a wink.

Duan Ruowei, who was standing at the back, was the first to react, so he lowered his head and said a few words to the chubby boy closest to him.

Then the second cry in the open space suddenly sounded: "Mom, I haven't eaten for a day. I'm hungry. I also want to go to the official uncle's house to eat. I also want to take a shower. I stink."

After the second sound, the third sound came: "Dad, are these uncles officials? Are they here to rescue us? Will we no longer have to starve? I want to go with them too.

Dad and Mom, hurry up and pack your things, they're leaving soon and we won't be able to catch up."

Then the fourth tone, the fifth tone...

In front of this area of ​​abandoned houses, there was the sound of children crying, and each cry was louder than the last.

Han Ping saw that something was wrong and shouted angrily, "Shut up."

After all, he was a child. When he saw the adults were angry, he was so scared that he shut his mouth. However, he was still sobbing softly, with tears hanging in his eyes. Coupled with his dirty body, he looked so pitiful.

Han Ping's nerves started pounding when he saw the pitiful expressions of these children. Although these people had suffered a disaster, he couldn't bring them to his home. Not to mention the issue of accommodation, just food was a big problem.

He has not been allocated any funds from above, so how could he have so much food to supply these people? Even if he did, he couldn't give it out so blatantly. Everyone is in a panic now, and if he is the first to speak out, he will be greatly wronged.

However, as the deputy commander, if he doesn't help, it will definitely damage his reputation in the future.

He glared at Huo without any expression. He had known that this man was not easy to deal with, but he did not expect that he would use such a dirty trick. Now he really lost more than he gained.

Seeing this, Huo looked back at him provocatively. He naturally knew what this person was thinking. He wanted to use his official power to intimidate him, but he would not fall for it at all.

He originally thought of having a fight if all else failed, but since his wife had a better solution, he naturally went along with it.

Han Ping then had no choice but to comfort everyone with a few words, saying that if there was any news about disaster relief, they would be notified in advance and they could then go to the government office to collect it.

Then he hurried away with the clerk and several officers and soldiers, fearing that Huo and the others would harass him again.

Aunt Zhou looked at the hurried backs of the few people and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Can we not go? Will they settle the score later?"

Zhou Youfeng, who was standing by, was more open-minded and said directly, "Who cares? We don't even have enough food and shelter, so how can we have the energy to work for them? These officials are just bossing people around. As soon as we mention our difficulties, they run away faster than rabbits."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. They were indeed in a difficult situation now. They left in a hurry yesterday. Apart from money and other valuables, they also took some clothes with them. The rest were all left in the house.

Now the house has become a ruin, and all those things have disappeared. They are so poor that they only have money left, and they don’t even know how to solve the problem of dinner.

At this time, Huo Yu said to everyone, "There are two rabbits in the backpack that I caught in the mountains last night. Aunts, you can clean them up and stew them. Then look around the house to see if there is any food that has not been moved away. We will have a meal today.

After dinner, two of you go to the city to check out the situation. If you can buy food, buy it. If not, I'll find another way. Ah Qi and I won't have dinner. We'll stay in the room on the left, and you can use the rest as you please."

There were four rooms in the back row. Huo Yu chose the smallest one, and the rest of the people just made do with it.

"Okay." Several people responded readily.

Then several people began to act separately and search the house for the things they "left behind".

Finally, I found half a small bag of brown rice, a few pounds of cornmeal, and half a bag of potatoes.

Maybe those people didn't know the value of potatoes, so they were scattered on the ground and no one took them away. They just happened to become their food. Stewing them with rabbit meat made them a rare delicacy.

A group of people were busy outside, so Ning Yan and Huo Yan took their two sons back to the small room.

Because of safety issues, everyone lived in very close quarters before, and this house was also large, so the row of houses at the back was not used.

The room had not been occupied for a long time and was a bit dusty. Ning Yan and the others cleaned it casually, sprinkled some air freshener powder in the room, and then spread a straw mat on the bed. Huo? put his eldest son on the bed and changed the cooling patch for him.

After changing, he complained to Ning Yan, "What's wrong with him? How can he sleep so soundly?"

"I don't know." Ning Yan threw Ning Jing onto the straw mat and then answered.

This was also the first time he encountered such a situation. Perhaps because Huo was there, he felt very relieved and slept very soundly. He didn't wake up when he heard any noise like he did in the temple.

"When will brother wake up?" Ning Jing lay down beside Huo Yun and asked curiously while looking at his sleeping face.
