Chapter 5 Qin Zheng's Slap (1)
Qin Zheng walked north among the refugees, and the more he went, the more and more people were fleeing.Now it is almost difficult to dig up the roots, and the locusts seem to be extinct. They have always been dug up by the previous group of refugees.So people looked around with hungry eyes, and would snatch as long as they could enter.

Bones and dead bodies gradually appeared beside the road, exuding an unpleasant stench. Some of these dead people still held empty swaddling babies in their arms, thinking that there had been a baby there.

Many things, originally so dirty and inhumane, seem to have become logical at this moment.

What's more, among the refugees there were death row prisoners who had escaped from the sky prison. They were vicious people in the first place, and now they fought and fought for a little food, which was perfectly normal.

Of course, there were young ladies like Qin Zheng among those who fled. Occasionally, they were alone, and were dragged into the wild woods beside them by those desperate men who still had a little strength.People who passed by heard the painful struggle and cries for help from inside, and their faces were numb and dazed.

Dayan Kingdom has experienced floods and locust plagues in the past few years, and now it is being invaded by the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. The Great General Lu Pengfei, who protects the country, led his troops to the south to block the attack. As a result, halfway through the battle, he was executed for embezzlement of military pay and treason.Since then, the Nanman went northward to burn, kill and plunder, and most of the Great Yan Kingdom fell under the iron heel of the Nanman.People have also experienced too much life and death, their compassion has long since died, and they have become indifferent to everything.

Qin Zheng was alone, unarmed, and knew that if he revealed his gender, he might suffer disaster too.Although she was born with amazing strength, she was a girl after all, so she purposely smeared her face and hands with black mud, and made her hair more disheveled.Just because of the dryness, the throat became hoarse.Because of these, although there were many people fleeing famine all the way, everyone ate and lived together day and night, but everyone thought she was just a young man.

On this day, they traveled to a small town, which had not yet been looted by the war. Most of the small town had already fled. When some rich households escaped, there was still food in the granary, so a group of refugees rushed in and took the edible food in this small town. Everything that could be taken was looted.

In the confusion, Qin Zheng snatched half a bag of sorghum, three pieces of hard spinach steamed buns, and a wilted radish.If she finds a treasure, she hides the big radishes and steamed buns in her clothes, stuffs half a bag of sorghum into a sack of casserole and carries it on her back.

Ever since she gave the piece of open oven cake to the dying prisoner, she hadn't eaten any decent food. Now that she suddenly got this, she hurriedly found an empty dilapidated house, hid in a corner, and broke up. Take out half a steamed bun and gobble it up.Naturally, it was not as delicious as Qin's father, but at this moment, Qin Zheng ate these, as if he was eating the best delicacy in the world.

While eating, he suddenly heard movement outside, but it turned out that a group of prisoners rushed forward, and they began to fight for a white fried chicken that they did not know where to find.Prisoners are all desperadoes, they can kill for a grain of rice, let alone fried chicken in troubled times, a top-notch luxury.

In the chaos of punching and kicking, Qin Zheng's eyes widened and he carefully hid in the dark, with dry steamed buns in his mouth that he would not be able to swallow in the future.If she went out at this time, she would either die, be disabled, or be tortured.
