Chapter 75 Persuasion
The last time she was in Wu County, everyone was a good citizen with household registration. She was able to get food, and she was somewhat credible.

But now that everyone has become a refugee, who in this world would dare to do business with a refugee.

What's more, when they heard that they were asked to exchange things for food, many refugees felt a little bit of a joke in their hearts. Why did they have to pay a price to exchange for nothing?

It has to be said that sometimes the bad roots in human nature are difficult to get rid of, especially the people who live at the bottom. They have exhausted all their efforts in their lives to seek benefits for themselves, just for a better survival go down.

"Huh? Don't believe it? Don't believe what you are doing around me? Does it look like I have food on me?" Bai Xia sneered.

It's pathetic to laugh at these people.

"You don't have it, Shuanzi has it, let Shuanzi hand over the food"

"Yes, let him hand over the food"

"hand over"

"hand over"

"hand over"

The refugees became confused again, staring straight at Shuanzi's father's stomach, and they could see that he had food in there. If it weren't for the scruples about the knife in Bai Xia's hand, they would have died a long time ago. rushed up.

Bai Xia also turned to look at Shuan Zi's father.

"Benefactor, can't give them"

Seeing her eyes, Shuanzi thought she wanted to give food to the refugees, so he couldn't help standing in front of his father, but Bai Xia just took a look, then turned his head, and said to the refugees in front of him: "He The food in the rift is no more than a dozen catties at most, and you have hundreds of people here, even if I give it to you, how do you plan to divide it?"

The refugees were all taken aback, you looked at me, I looked at you, as if they had never thought about this issue.

"How about this, put the knives in your hands in front of me, and find some clothes and items, and when I find a way to exchange money for you to buy some food, like last time, then everyone of you will be able to eat, Isn't everyone happy?" Bai Xia kindly suggested.

The refugees whispered to each other, as if discussing something.

"Where... are you going to buy food?" At this time, some refugees still did not believe it.

Last time, they didn't see where they bought the grain at all. They wanted more for only one or two catties of grain at a time, and they wanted to know a stable channel to buy grain.

"Oh, this is my secret, do you think I will tell you?"

The refugees became even more noisy, and they quarreled for a long time, but there was no result.

Shuanzi was beside him, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Miss, can you really buy food?" Now he is no longer called a benefactor, not because he doesn't believe in Bai Xia, but because they have done several things along the way. Ten miles away, there is no human habitation. Even if you want to buy food, you must at least find a place where people live. It is precisely because of this that the refugees have been unable to agree for a long time.

After all, it wasn't too far from Wu County before, but now it's out of Wu County, and I don't know how far it is from Cheng County. Everyone has explored the surrounding area, and there is no village or town.

With no village in front and no store behind, where would she go to buy food?
"sure"

If she can't buy food, no one will be able to get it. After all, food is scarce in front of her. Even the government can't guarantee a continuous supply of food, but she can. As long as she has energy value, she can There is endless food.

Hearing her affirmative words, Shuanzi gritted his teeth, and suddenly stretched out his hand in front of his father: "Father, give me the food."

Shuanzi's father was taken aback for a moment, then said with a trembling mouth, "What do you want to do?"

"Give it to me..." Shuanzi didn't explain. There was only one son in their family. He usually listened to Shuanzi for what he had. He pulled out his bag and scolded: "Give it to him if your son asks you to, what are you doing?"

"Here, son"

Shuanzi's father was used to being controlled by his wife on weekdays, so he didn't dare to resist for a while, watching her give the food to Shuanzi, he said, "Son, don't do stupid things, that's the food for our lives."

Shuanzi felt sour, and quickly lifted up the grain bag: "I am willing to take the only food left in my family as a guarantee. You can give the things to my lady, and my lady will be able to buy food."

Holding the grain bag high in his hand, he looked at the refugees in front of him.

Bai Xia glanced at him unexpectedly, she knew very well why their family sold themselves as slaves, and Shuan Zi also knew very well.

It was nothing more than wanting to keep the family's rations, but now, he was willing to take out his own life's food as security for her one word. I have to say that this surprised her a bit.

"Embolic, I believe in you"

At this moment, a voice came from behind the refugees, and the refugees turned their heads to look.

"It's Yu Dahai"

I saw a row of straw sandals hanging on his body, and a large package was dragged behind his back. He dragged it forward and opened it. It was full of straw sandals, probably hundreds of pairs.

"Where did he get all these straw sandals?"

"Hey, don't you know? A few days ago, his daughter-in-law went crazy and said that she wanted to collect straw sandals, and gave a penny for each pair. It seems that she collected a lot."

The refugees muttered, while Yu Dahai glanced at Shuanzi and then at Bai Xia, with excitement hidden in his eyes.

These days, he and his wife not only weave straw sandals by themselves, but also organize other people to weave them. They spent all their savings and collected all these straw sandals. They were originally waiting for tourists to come to their door. Who knew that they had been waiting for so long? , Traveling merchants have never appeared.

Both husband and wife panicked.

Although the money can't buy food now, it's the couple's savings. Last time they didn't trust the girl, so they exchanged for some food. Now, the straw sandals are useless anyway, so it's better to exchange them. The food went.

It has to be said that the courage of the couple is outrageous.

"Look, can these straw sandals of mine be exchanged for food?" Yu Dahai looked at Bai Xia, his eyes darting across the knife in her hand, it seemed to be a knife in the hands of an official
Bai Xia glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, with Yu Dahai leading the way, there was a turmoil among the refugee crowd. Women who hadn't appeared since Bai Xia and the others were surrounded came out from behind these men, some with pots in their hands. bowls, some holding quilts and clothes, some holding diapers, determined to change something.

Now, these men also had to disperse.

There was also a pile of things piled up in front of Bai Xia.

Again, although they have run out of food, they are not at the end of the road. At this time, they have some hope, and they don't want to give up.

To put it bluntly, it means that they are not hungry enough to lose their minds, otherwise they would have done it long ago, and they would not be afraid of the knife in Bai Xia's hand.

The refugees on this side broke the defense, but the refugees on the other side still surrounded Li Xiuyuan and the nine horses. Although they didn't do anything, they didn't intend to just let him go.

They were still worried, afraid that Bai Xia and the others would wrap up their things and run away.

The refugees this time were much more cautious than the last time.
