Hong Kang was still seventy or eighty meters away when he heard the noise from the crowd in front.
He kept walking and kept moving forward.
As they got closer, Bai Ling and the others also heard the quarrel.
Bai Ling said: "Mr. Hong..."
Hong Kang said: "It's okay, just some refugees."
Within two minutes, Hong Kang and the others saw a group of people blocking the entrance to Pucheng.
The crowd seemed to be divided into two parties. One party was locals from Pucheng, and the other party was in ragged clothes and must have fled.
A man with a square face and a calm temperament was speaking.
"We Pucheng people are not inhumane."
"Some of the neighbors here are not from Pucheng. Twenty years ago there was a famine. When you came to Pucheng, we didn't take you in anyway."
"Now, these folks from Stone City are fleeing here. Can you bear to see them displaced and starving to death on the streets??!"
Elders in Pucheng, look at me and I will look at you.
Most people at this time are simple, and a few people who are unwilling will not speak at this time.
Another woman also said sincerely: "Think about it, if the people in Pucheng who were in trouble today were us, wouldn't we also hope that we could find a place to stay?!!"
After listening, many people nodded slightly and agreed with what the woman said.
At this time, in the crowd, a man wearing a melon cap and a pair of round glasses shouted out.
"We listen to the leader."
This man looked loyal and said loudly: "How much can we help, please tell me, okay? !!"
In order to strengthen his persuasion, the man in the melon-skin hat raised his hand: "I'm in charge of the steamed buns."
This man's name is Li Tieniu. He also fled to Pucheng and was taken in by kind-hearted people, and then he settled down in Pucheng.
The square man nodded towards him, expressing his relief.
Someone started, and various voices sounded.
A female voice said: "Folks, let's help them!"
"Okay, you can stay at my house."
"My house can accommodate four!"
"I'm in charge of the quilts."
"……my home……"
For a time, the noisy voice could not hide this warm heart.
Hong Kang told Bai Ling and the others what they said, and said, "This Pucheng person is quite warm-hearted."
Bai Ling pointed at the man in the melon-skin hat and said happily: "That's my cousin."
Hong Kang looked up and knew who Bai Ling was talking about.
It seemed that they were getting closer, and Bai Ling and the others also attracted some attention.
The man in the melon-skin hat took it over and said with some surprise and some confusion: "Cousin??"
He pushed through the crowd and trotted over.
"Cousin, what are you...??"
He looked at a bunch of little carrot heads and then at Hong Kang.
Noticing Bai Ling's haggard appearance, he hurriedly took the little girl in her arms.
"cousin……"
"We are the same as them."
Following Bai Ling's gaze and looking at the group of refugees, the man in the melon-skin hat immediately understood.
"No need to say anything, let's talk about it first in the city!"
Bai Ling then introduced Hong Kang to her cousin.
After hearing this, the man in the melon-skin hat held Hong Kang's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Hong, thank you so much for this trip! If you have nothing urgent, why not go to the city to rest for a while, and I will give you a bowl of noodles. I will Tell me, the noodles I made are delicious!"
Hong Kang said: "Thank you then."
On the other side, the refugees were being brought into the city in an orderly manner.
When the man in the melon-skin hat brought Bai Ling, Hong Kang and others over, the leading square man asked: "Tieniu, are they...?"
"Captain, this is my cousin, Bai Ling, who also escaped from Stone City; this is Hong Kang, my cousin's friend."
The Founder man nodded kindly to Bai Ling: "My name is Yang Kenan, and I am the leader of the Pucheng Security Group. This is my wife Zhou Susu..."
Yang Kenan glanced at Hong Kang lightly, then looked at Bai Ling and said, "If you need any help, you can come to us at any time."
Bai Ling showed gratitude: "Thank you, Captain Yang."
Hong Kang smiled and nodded slightly.
He could see the scrutinizing look in Yang Ke's ugly eyes just now.
However, as the leader of Pucheng's security team, Hong Kang felt that this was a qualified land security guard, so he had nothing to be unhappy about.
Moreover, Hong Kang sensed that both Yang Kenan and his wife Zhou Susu were talented.
Yang Kenan should be similar to Ma Feng, and Zhou Susu is not mediocre either.
"Okay, okay, cousin, Mr. Hong, you have worked hard all the way here. Go to my place and have a good rest before leaving."
…
Entered the city.
Hong Kang looked around Pucheng.
The surrounding houses are lined up in rows and are of varying heights.
It seems that the people here live a pretty good life.
Soon, we arrived at the house of the man with the melon skin hat.
Hong Kang raised his head and said, "Tieniu Noodle House!"
The man in the melon-skin hat said: "Yes! My name is Li Tieniu, so I call it Tieniu Noodle House! Come in, everyone!"
After a large group of people came in, they found a place to sit down.
Soon, more than a dozen bowls of steaming hot noodle soup arrived.
"Come on! Iron Bull Beef Noodles, everyone has a try."
Children like Zhao Xinchuan took a deep breath, as if they wanted to take in all the smell of beef and noodles into their stomachs.
Hong Kang took a bite and praised: "The beef is soft and fragrant, the noodles are chewy, Boss Li is so good at his craftsmanship!"
Li Tieniu wiped his hands happily: "Hahaha... As long as you like it."
It didn't take long.
Yang Kenan, his wife Zhou Susu, and some members of the security team came to Li Tieniu's home.
They are here to send these children to live in the homes of other neighbors.
Otherwise, there would be no room for Li Tieniu to live here with so many children.
When they came, they had already discussed it with some neighbors.
In the end, only a child named "Dayuan" stayed with Li Tieniu.
Of course Bai Ling must live at her cousin's place.
Hong Kang and Zhao Xinchuan also temporarily settled here.
After dinner.
Everyone sat together.
Bai Ling recalled: "At that time, a group of Cao soldiers rushed into the school like crazy and killed everyone on sight. Many teachers and students died innocently and tragically. Just because Cao Shaolin didn't like the sound of us reading."
"...When I saw Cao Shaolin killing someone, he looked like a devil..."
As Bai Ling spoke, her body began to tremble slightly, as if she remembered some horrific scenes.
Zhou Susu noticed her abnormality and hurriedly comforted her.
Make her feel better.
Zhou Susu said: "Teacher Bai, don't worry, we Pucheng people are not at the mercy of others."
Li Tieniu also said: "It's okay, it's okay! Don't be afraid when you get to Pucheng."
"My cousin will take good care of you, don't worry."
Bai Ling nodded emotionally.
At this time,
Yang Kenan suddenly looked at Hong Kang and asked casually: "I wonder where Mr. Hong is from? What does he do for a living?!"
…
