900 Victims
However, on the Ruixian side, it was safe and sound. No family was begging because the crops died and there was no harvest. On the contrary, many disaster victims gathered in this area of Ruixian County, which caused other security risks.
When Gu Xiaowan received Mr. Liu's letter, it was already August, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, even the air she breathed in was hot.
Gu Xiaowan saw that Jian Zhu, the entourage next to Lord Liu Xian, came quickly and handed Gu Xiaowan a letter.
After Gu Xiaowan opened it and looked at it, her brows were also furrowed.
Gu Fang, who was on the side, was pleased to see this, and quickly followed over to take a look.
"Lord Liu's letter, what did you say?"
Gu Xiaowan didn't expect Liu Xian to send her a letter, but after reading the letter, she also knew that she would definitely go to see this matter.
It turned out that the number of victims in Ruixian County has suddenly increased in the past few days. After the official side questioned, they all came from nearby counties, towns and villages.
Because they all heard that there are no victims in Ruixian County, and there is a lot of food in the fields. As long as they steal it, they will definitely not starve to death.
Liujiazhen also found such a situation, but because there were not many victims, there was no large-scale looting incident.
But Ruixian is different. Almost half of the farmland is planted with sweet potato seedlings. When looking at it, all of them are green. Those victims who see something that can save their lives, who will not steal it, who will not steal it .
Moreover, some people even uprooted them. Overnight, the small half-mu of land disappeared, leaving only mud.
Whoever changed it, whoever saw the things in the fields of their own house being plucked out, would be uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, all the restaurants in Ruixian are now blocked by the victims.
Those victims are also smart. As long as the business is good, there will be many people at the door of the luxuriously decorated restaurant.
Every day, dozens or hundreds of people are sitting at the door of the restaurant, all dirty and smelly, and they can't drive them away.
All the restaurants were surrounded, and the guests naturally dared not go in to eat when they saw a group of disaster victims blocking the door.
It's not that the government didn't take care of it, but the yamen was sent over to rush it, but it was in vain.
Blast off this side, there are more people there.
Go over there, and all the people here have gathered here again.
There are only twenty yamen in Ruixian County, but there are thousands of victims.
With one enemy against a hundred, it is like a mighty cockroach shaking a big tree, which is ridiculous and over-the-top.
"How long has this situation lasted?" Gu Xiaowan thought about it and asked Jian Zhu.
"It's been four or five days, and the number of disaster victims is still increasing sharply. On the way from Ruixian County, I also saw many disaster victims rushing to Ruixian County!"
According to this, by then, maybe all the sweet potatoes in Ruixian County will be destroyed by this group of victims.
Don't say that there will be a harvest in time, I am afraid that this time will not pass.
If this situation continues, fights, looting, wounding and death will definitely happen.
"What does Mr. Liu say now?" This matter is really urgent. If it is not handled properly, Ruixian may become an asura field by then.
People can do anything when they are extremely hungry.
In a previous life, there were more than 800 million hungry people in the world. On average, more than 20,000 people died of starvation every day, and nearly half of them were children.
People can't get enough to eat, they can only eat bran, grass roots and leaves. In some places, people are so hungry that they eat the indigestible "Guanyin soil". Many people suffer from malnutrition and edema. If you eat too much, you will soon "fall down and die"
What is even more unacceptable is that there have also been incidents of people eating people, dogs eating dogs, and mice hungry for bricks.
Gu Xiaowan has never experienced a disaster year, and most of the information she knows comes from the Internet and textbooks.
But seeing the tragic situation described, I also know that if there is no food, the victims will be able to do anything.
Gu Xiaowan knew that this matter was no trivial matter, and now it can no longer be said that it was a rain that solved the drought. Even if it rained and the crops withered, it would not help.
"It's not too late, let's go to Ruixian to have a look. Auntie, go with me to help me pack some clothes. I'm going to Ruixian."
Gu Xiaowan said solemnly.
Gu Fang was pleased to see her solemn appearance, and knew that this matter must be no trivial matter, so she was a little worried: "Xiao Wan, let's go together, so that we can take care of you when the time comes."
Gu Xiaowan shook her head: "I only take Ah Mo, auntie, you and Aunt Zhang Shitou will stay at home to watch the house. There have been a lot of disaster victims recently, so don't go out casually, stay at home. Brother Shitou goes to the ground every day to see Two or three times, if there are victims who are pulling sweet potato seedlings in the field, they should be discouraged, and those who cannot be discouraged, just let them go. Don’t start a conflict. Those victims are also very hungry. Stems and leaves, I believe they will listen too!"
Jian Zhu listened to Gu Xiaowan calmly and extremely well arranged work for everyone, and gave a thumbs up in her heart.
Kind-hearted, unhurried, and extremely measured in dealing with things.
When he first came, he also wrote a letter to this girl about why Master Liu wanted to, but now, he understands everything.
After Gu Xiaowan packed up her things and said goodbye to her family, Ah Mo drove the carriage and galloped away to Ruixian County with Jian Zhu.
Along the way, as Jian Zhu said, three
The victims in twos and threes are fleeing to Ruixian County.
There are also some victims, lying on the ground, not knowing what to dig on the ground. After digging it, I was ecstatic, and stuffed it into my mouth without washing it, and I didn't know what to eat!
Gu Xiaowan was a little worried that all those refugees with yellow faces and thin skin, who described as thin, all went to Ruixian County. By then, Ruixian County would be full of disaster victims.
As a result, there are not so many yamen in the entire county, and they cannot be controlled. Second, if there is a large-scale mass incident, I am afraid that Liu Xian will be to blame!
