Disaster victims are disaster victims, where are the strange victims?
Manager Yang was the first to get up from the awning, walked out of the cabin, and asked where they were. Looking in the direction of others' fingers, he saw a group of victims diagonally ahead.
Zhan Muchun in the awning was silent, "Oh!" He sighed softly, collected the banknotes, and got up and went out to see what happened to the so-called strange victims.
The group of victims was obviously heading towards Shangwan City.
This patrol boat also returned to Shangwan City after going out for patrol.
The group of victims obviously set out in front of them, but the victims waded forward in the mud, obviously not as fast as the people rowing in the water, so they were overtaken by the people behind them.
When the two sides were almost parallel, the strangeness of this group of victims became clearer.
Because these victims were actually dragging dozens of simple stretchers. They were not carrying stretchers, but actually dragging stretchers away.
One end of the stretcher was lifted, and the other end was dragged to the ground. The person on the stretcher was also lying sideways, with his head on top and his feet dragged in the mud.
Perhaps to save effort, six or seven people dragged a stretcher together.
Outsiders may not take it seriously when they hear this situation, but for those in the disaster area, this scene is simply a rare miracle in the world!
This is an incredible miracle!
Anyone who is in the disaster area and knows something about it will know that those who cannot walk basically have no choice but to wait for death.
There is also a cruel reality that people don’t want to face or mention, which will become food for others.
When a person is hungry to a certain point, there is no sense of propriety, justice or shame. Any etiquette is just air, and he will become the most primitive animal. Obtaining food is more important than anything else!
In this case, even the government and the imperial court will not help to save a person who cannot walk, and cannot be saved.
It is even less likely that any victims will come to rescue them.
The reason is very simple. It takes physical strength to save a person or lift a person like this. Even if I can't live anymore, how can I still have the strength to carry a person for a long distance? This is simply unrealistic.
Even the instinct to survive does not allow a person to do this.
But what the refugee team in front of them did completely subverted their imagination and exceeded their understanding. They didn't know why these people had such strong perseverance.
Could it be some kind of military personnel in distress? Otherwise, how could there be such good discipline?
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was obviously not the case. The men and women were of different ages. Almost all of them were staggering and leaning on felled wooden sticks as crutches. They were obviously gritting their teeth and holding on. They could not be organized military personnel.
Therefore, one can imagine the shock that the scene in front of them brought to everyone.
The officials standing on the bow could only look in disbelief.
When the rowing boat passed the refugee team, Director Yang saw Yu Qing who was leading the way to explore the way. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey! That guy with the mustache in the lead looks a bit familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. .”
I have indeed seen him. After being named on the gold list, the new Jinshi passed by the door of the household when he was parading across the street. Chief Yang also watched at the door, and he had seen Yu Qing.
It's just that Yu Qing now has a ponytail and a mustache, a sword on his waist, a large leather bag on his side, and a small half bag of dry food on his shoulder. His head is slightly tilted, and his body is covered with mud and water. It's normal to call someone dirty and not recognize him.
After hearing what he said, others also identified it carefully.
Not to mention, Zhan Muchun also felt that this person seemed familiar, and wondered how there could be an acquaintance here and become a disaster victim.
Yu Qing, who was holding a stick in his hand and exploring the path under his feet in front of him from time to time, loudly reminded him backwards: "Everyone, be careful. There is a ditch on the right side. It seems to be a slope. Don't miss your footing and slide down. Follow me." Walk to the left and follow closely. If anyone falls behind, don’t blame me for not caring!”
He was still very energetic, and he suddenly made so much money. He felt that he should send these victims to Shangwan City properly, and then, right, he earned more than 80,000 taels of silver. Also feel at ease.
The young couple may have eaten quite well, may have gradually gained energy, or may have seen the hope of life. They followed Yu Qing closely and helped pass the message to him.
As soon as he heard Yu Qing speak, Zhan Muchun's expression on the boat suddenly trembled. He immediately recognized whose voice it was. Then he put aside Yu Qing's hugely changed appearance and stared at Yu Qing's face carefully. When he saw it, he instantly recognized it. Well, who else could it be if he wasn't Brother Shiheng?
He repeatedly identified it several times. Yes, it was indeed Brother Shiheng. Why did he come here?
Immediately I realized, what else could it be besides disaster relief? The facts are before our eyes.
After such a long time, the news of Tanhualang's resignation has already spread here. He was shocked when he heard the news before. Why? Isn’t this what everyone has been studying hard for ten years? Did he really resign because he was resentful for not winning the top prize?
In short, he couldn't quite understand it.
Today I suddenly saw Yu Qing rescuing people in a disaster area, which really shocked me mentally.
How could that talented person with perfect scores in four subjects end up like this?
Yu Qing also noticed the boats over there and wondered to himself, if he had known there was such a waterway, would it have been more convenient to build some wooden rafts to carry the victims on their way?
Then I thought that I was overthinking. How many rafts would it take to build a raft for thousands of people? Regardless of whether the materials are available, once it is completed, the time to walk around will be almost gone.
What's more, I really didn't know that such a waterway existed at the beginning, let alone the topography of the waterway.
He also saw a few officials wearing official robes on the boat, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them. He didn't even bother to say hello. He no longer counted on these dog officials.
As long as these corrupt officials had the slightest bit of conscience, they should have taken the initiative to walk down and let the people who couldn't walk get on the boat. However, they didn't. They passed by without a word.
He didn't see Zhan Muchun.
Zhan Muchun wanted to shout at first, but then he thought of some questions and turned his head away with a guilty conscience, not daring to say hello to Yu Qing.
For no other reason than because I can't speak and I don't know how to speak.
It was obvious that Brother Shiheng was leading these refugees to Shangwan City, but he knew that Shangwan City had already issued a disaster emergency decree, and you couldn't enter the city without money. He worked so hard to bring such a large group of victims here. After saying hello, should he tell him the truth or not?
I feel guilty and ashamed to see you!
The other silent officials actually had the same mentality. They watched silently, and no one dared to tell the truth to these people who were struggling in a desperate situation.
The boat quickly moved ahead, getting further and further away from the group behind.
"Follow me, everyone. Let's try to get to Shangwan City before dark..."
Yu Qing's angry shouts were still faintly heard.
Zhan Muchun stood in front of the awning and looked behind, his eyes fixed on the leading figure. He could not look away for a long time, his heart was full of guilt and full of admiration!
He found that Brother Shi Heng was indeed a great man and a man who could create miracles. He was able to organize this group of hungry people. I really don’t know how he did it...
The idea of reaching Shangwan City before dark was shattered. The victims were moving too slowly. The originally planned two-hour journey actually took three hours. Thousands of beggar-like victims were dragging their feet. Ra rushed to the city.
Of course, the difficulty of walking is also a reason. In addition, these victims have been hungry for too long and their physical strength cannot keep up.
The half bag of large biscuits and grains carried by Yu Qing has been distributed on the road. The people who do manual labor dragging the stretchers are mostly distributed, and the other four people share a piece of biscuit equally.
Eating big cakes makes one easily thirsty. Without the spring water on the mountain, one can only drink muddy water on the ground.
He could no longer care whether he was dirty or not, whether he would get sick or not, so Yu Qing could only let it go because he was powerless.
Due to the high terrain of Shangwan City, reaching the bottom of the city is like walking out of the water, but the ground is still full of mud with footprints.
The city was lit with torches, and bonfires were also lit under the wall on the other side of the moat.
Outside the moat, there was still a huge crowd gathered, unable to stand, so they were sitting or lying on the muddy ground.
From time to time, some people knelt and begged the officers and soldiers in the city, begging them to be allowed to enter the city. However, the officers and soldiers who followed orders could be described as hard-hearted.
When Yu Qing arrived outside the city, he was speechless and choked, and his heart went cold. He realized that the thousands of people he brought were nothing at all. The majority of the victims who gathered outside the city hoping to enter the city were far more than he brought. of these people.
"Let's go!" Yu Qing turned around and shouted, leading thousands of people to charge into the crowd.
The group forcibly opened a road to the moat. Facing the pulled up suspension bridge, Yu Qing shouted loudly, "Hurry up and lower the suspension bridge so that we can enter the city!"
The guard at the other end of the suspension bridge shouted: "Any trespassers who dare to defy the emergency laws for disasters will be killed without mercy!"
Yu Qing tore open a slit in his big leather bag, took out a handful of banknotes, and shouted, "I have money!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of victims outside the moat immediately glowed green when they saw so much money.
No greeting was needed. The crowd suddenly became chaotic. Someone rushed over immediately, and then a group of people rushed over.
Obviously, grab it!
Keng! Yu Qing faced the city wall and drew his sword with his back turned. He waved a cold light reflected by the fire on the opposite side in his hand, and swung it back without looking. The head of the man who rushed first flew into the sky in an instant, and blood spurted out from his neck. Flop to the ground!
This did not scare the others, and the others who rushed continued to attack.
The sword light flashed like a rainbow, fast, very fast.
Behead anyone you see, kill someone when they come up to you, and blood will fly like rain.
Several people fell down, and some rushed forward who were not afraid of death.
More than a dozen people fell, some fighting for their lives.
It wasn't until dozens of people fell that it finally had an effect.
Corpses fell into piles on the ground. These people had no power to resist in front of Yu Qing, just like melons and vegetables being chopped.
Yu Qing showed no mercy at all and used simple and quick killing moves.
He is the one who saves people, and he is the one who kills.
None of the victims with evil intentions could get close to Yu Qing, and those who came close would die. Some people who were ready to move but were frightened finally did not dare to come forward anymore.
Yu Qing, who was covered in blood, with a lot of blood stains on his face, stepped on the stacked corpses, holding a bloody sword in one hand, and holding the blood-stained banknotes in the other. , waving the bloody banknote like a devil, and shouted sternly: "Come! Come and grab it again!"
No one dared to step forward, and the defenders on the other side of the moat were also shocked.
Yu Qing turned around and shouted with a ferocious face: "I have a banknote, lower the suspension bridge!"
