Chapter 12 Rush into the city!

Those few people quickly built a fire and roasted the dog meat.The scent made those hungry faces even more pale.The bold ones looked at the fire, the timid ones lowered their heads, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty. Some adults hugged the children even tighter, for fear that they would naively run forward.

Some people couldn't bear it, and took out a handful of wild vegetables or a few pieces of bark, and were immediately targeted, and some were even robbed.There were several cries in the square.

Chen Fan felt that those who killed dogs were not like ordinary refugees.They ate and talked, and glanced at the city gate from time to time, with some excitement that was inevitable.

Chen Fan didn't feel hungry for the time being, so he sat against a tree and watched all kinds of beings in the nearby square.She saw several people walking around several times, as if they were looking for someone, but they didn't seem to find them yet.She saw a few well-dressed people walking here and there, sometimes stopping, chatting with some refugees, handing out a small bag of food, and leading a child.Some of the refugees were quiet and obedient, and some cried and argued. In the end, the children were dragged away, and the women lay on the ground crying.

We have already reached the gate of the city, why do we have to take this step?
As those few people were walking, there was a short and fat man walking towards Chen Fan and the others.Zhou Qiang and the others immediately surrounded the women and children, and Chu Sheng stood in front of Chen Fan.

The fat man whistled, and four or five people came from different places, surrounding Chen Fan and Chu Sheng.

The fat man waved his hand forward: "Tie them up."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Sheng made a move, and several people fell down with blood on their necks.In Chu Sheng's hand, he held a bloody dagger.

Everyone present was stunned!

A weak voice sounded from the side: "This is too cruel and merciless, it killed several people at once."

Everyone was shocked and looked at the one who spoke.

It was a woman in her 50s, skinny and shrunken.

Chu Sheng looked at her coldly: "They bought or even robbed your children, did you say the same?"

The woman didn't dare to look at Chu Sheng's eyes, and shrank her neck: "They didn't provoke you either."

Chu Sheng stood upright, and his voice was quiet, but it was clearly heard by everyone nearby: "Buying and selling women and children, death will not be punished!"

Everyone who heard it trembled.

Chen Fan turned his head to look at the women and children behind him.The shock of Qian Xiaozhu and Qian Xiaoya had passed, and they looked at Chu Sheng with fiery eyes, as if worshiping him as their teacher and vowing to follow him to the death.The woman hugged the two children tightly, her body was shaking like chaff, but there was a look of approval on her face.The mother-in-law and the little girl were staring at the people on the ground, as if they were thinking about something.

No one showed a look of thinking that Chu Sheng was wrong, not to mention Zhou Qiang and his family.There was even a voice shouting: "Yes!" It was that little girl.

Chu Sheng stared at the woman: "How many women and children they killed, can you imagine? If you dare to hit my girl, you deserve to die."

Your girl?Everyone was shocked, they looked at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan looked at Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng said again: "This is the person I want to protect." Everyone was shocked again.Chen Fan's back felt numb, it was over, she was really being stared at by those people.

Chu Sheng walked up to Chen Fan, and handed the dagger to Chen Fan: "Girl, hold it for a while." Chen Fan took it in a daze. Cold, weak hands and feet.When the cold all over her body dissipated, she felt hotter and hotter again, and the blood all over her body seemed to be boiling.

She finally understood why people with high martial arts love swords so much.

"Girl, it was the first fight yesterday, right? This is not your hometown, so don't be soft-hearted here." Chu Sheng's tone was cold and warm.

There was commotion in the distance. Chen Fan and the others looked over and found a carriage over there. A group of refugees were carrying their children out of the carriage. Several strong men were already approaching the carriage.

How many people are there?How many people are in this group of child traffickers?

Several strong men quickly ran to the carriage and snatched the children from the refugees.The dog killers stood beside the carriage at some point, swung their knives, and chopped the traffickers to the ground.The refugees who took back their children thanked each other, and the dog killer kept saying no thanks.

The refugees hurried away with their children in their arms.

A tall, bearded man raised a kitchen knife and shouted loudly: "Fellows! We have been waiting for days and have been starving for days. The government doesn't care whether we live or die! They won't let us enter the city, so we rushed into the city by ourselves." Looking for food! No one cares about our lives, we can only save ourselves! Rush into the city! There is food to eat!"

For a while, no one responded in the square.Some people raised their heads and looked at him in surprise; some continued to lower their heads as if they didn't hear; some people looked in the direction of the city gate and sighed; those holding the children looked at him suspiciously Me, I look at you.

Chen Fan asked a kind-hearted old lady: "Ma'am, have you been hungry for a few days?"

The old lady shook her head: "Every day, people donate porridge. Several benevolent families in the city pooled money together to make porridge for food. The early people have been there for seven or eight days. We arrived the night before yesterday, and we received two porridge yesterday morning. A bowl of porridge is the same today. The porridge is better than that cooked by many poor people. People basically don’t move around here, and a bowl of porridge can last a day. Wait another night, and you can get porridge tomorrow.” The old lady She spoke her native dialect, which Chen Fan could basically understand, but she didn't know how to speak it in that dialect.

Those people really opened their eyes and talked nonsense, bewitching the public.

Chen Fan looked at those weak people, their faces were helpless and patient.In the past few days when the city gate was closed, many of them had probably been robbed of all their food, so they could only wait for porridge every day.They didn't respond to calls.

The ones who reacted the most to the bearded man's words were those who robbed food everywhere, their faces were full of evil spirits, and their eyes were bright.

Chen Fan looked at both sides and said, "Ma'am, this road can lead to other places, right? Why don't you go somewhere else?"

"Everywhere is full of people." The old lady said, "Several states have been hit by disasters, locusts and drought. In some places, it rained, but there was a flood again, and many houses were washed away. We are Those who go this way, people from other prefectures and counties go to other places. Other places may not be as good as Yuanfeng County."

The bearded man started shouting again: "Fellows! There is food in the city! As long as you enter the city, you will have food!"

Several voices followed: "That's right, there is food and food in the city! Waiting outside will only starve to death!" "You sell your sons and daughters just to survive! If you don't enter the city, we will all starve to death." Are you worthy of the children who have been sold?" "We just want to live and have food. What's wrong with going to the city? There's nothing wrong with going to the city!"

Nothing wrong with going to town!There is food in the city!More refugees raised their heads, and there was a look in their eyes.
