Everyone soon arrived at a grass market by the Yellow River. There were men and women, rows of women and children, with grass tags on their heads, kneeling there like pigs and dogs. The traffickers who came and went took them or

Buy or sell, treat them worse than livestock.

Most of these children, the older ones, were bought as slaves and could still survive, while the younger ones may only be able to make preserved meat. As for the women, the pretty ones were sold into wealthy families or sold to some wealthy families.

Formal brothels and brothels, but ordinary-looking ones, are unimaginable.

And there are countless such grass markets.

No one wants to treat their wife and children like animals and be bought and sold, but they may still be able to survive if they are sold, but they really can’t live if they stay.

Looking at their lifeless eyes, they looked like zombies without any hope of living.

Cao Ang and the three people walking all the way couldn't bear to watch. Especially Zhao Yi, who has always been weak and kind-hearted, couldn't help crying when seeing such a scene.

"Aang, can we buy them away?"

Cao Ang shook his head. He had no money or food in his hands, and he couldn't save people even if he bought them.

As everyone passed through a refugee settlement, they happened to encounter a group of refugees who were fighting. Each of these people had red eyes and ferocious faces, and they looked like ghosts.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ang immediately ordered Xin Wu to rush over with more than ten cavalry including Dingxu, Xin Cuo, Ma Tong and disperse them.

These victims did not dare to resist the knights and were quickly dispersed. When Cao Ang stepped forward, he found a group of people fighting over a pile of white-faced soil.

Tang Gu had never heard of it, so he asked: "Aang, what is white-faced soil?"

Cao Ang knew that this white-faced soil was the famous Guanyin soil, but he had only seen Guanyin soil in history books before, but this time he really saw it.

"This is a kind of soil. Eating it can satisfy your hunger. However, this kind of soil cannot be digested when eaten in the stomach. Eating a small amount will not be fatal, but it will cause abdominal distension and make it difficult to defecate. Because this white flour soil cannot be digested, most of the

People who suffer from famine will still die after eating it, and they will die from being distended alive."

Tang Gu and Zhao Yi were shocked when they heard this. It was also the first time for the people around them to see him, and they all had stern expressions on their faces.

At this time, a thin boy took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly ran over, grabbed a handful of Guanyin soil and stuffed it into his mouth. After Tang Gu saw it, he quickly stepped forward and knocked the white-faced soil out of his hand.

The boy didn't cry even after being beaten. He lay on the ground and continued to lick the white dirt.

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, Tang Gu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Folks, you can't eat this white flour soil. If you eat it, you will die."

But no one paid attention to Tang Gu's words, their faces were all dull and lifeless.

An old man leaned on a stick and said, "Noble man, don't worry. This white flour will only die if you eat too much. But if you don't eat, don't eat, we are hungry." As the old man said, he started to sob.

"Please, noble man, please leave me alone!"

As he spoke, the old man knelt down, and others knelt down, crying and begging.

Cao Ang looked at the people all over the ground, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. This was an empire that died due to strength, but what use was such an empire to the common people?

Cao Ang could not stop anyone from eating dirt, so he could only give the food he brought with him to these victims.

It’s not the Holy Mother of Cao’ang. I really can’t stand it. I would rather go hungry than save one, two, three or even more people.

Zhao Yi whispered: "Aang, does the imperial court really not care about the epidemic in Hanoi?"

"Guess, they are all on the south bank of the river. Why don't you let the people on the north bank cross the river?"

Zhao Yi also fell silent.

What's going on in this world?

Everyone said nothing, and after dividing the food, they continued to move forward.

Cao Ang prepared to rush to Wen County before sunset. He gave all the food to the people. If he could not go to Wen County to replenish food and grass, they would also be without food.

Everyone soon passed another refugee camp, the same tragedy and similar chaos.

A sly-looking guy, carrying a bag of rice, proudly shouted to the victims: "One woman, five liters of millet, first come, first served. I want a hundred people today, and I won't take any more."

After hearing the news, the victims almost broke their heads and rushed forward to grab. In order to survive, it doesn't matter if they sell their wives or daughters. Of course, there are some who don't have to sell, but they can rob.

The scene became chaotic for a while. In order to survive, was there anything that could not be done?

"Don't take my millet. I got it for my wife..."

Seeing this tragic scene, Cao Ang didn't even dare to stop it. What could he say, don't buy and sell people.

You might be able to survive as a slave in a wealthy family, but if you stay here, you can only wait for death.

Tang Gu looked at the women being led to the car one by one and asked in disbelief: "Aang, you just sold people like animals?"

"if not?"

"But!"

Tang Gu was so speechless that he could not speak.

"You can survive as an animal, but you can't survive as a human being."

Zhao Yi asked cautiously: "Aang, will those women really be sent to rich families to be maids?"

"I have no idea."

Does yes or no have any meaning?

"How could they give it up!"

"If I don't sell it now, I'm afraid that if I try to sell it, I won't be able to sell it, and I'll have to eat people."

Zhao Yi and Tang Gu's expressions changed drastically, but Cao Ang closed his eyes in pain.

"Bai Mian Tu, sell Bai Mian Tu, the best Bai Mian Tu!"

In front of a stall, someone was shouting loudly. Some of them couldn't help but went to grab the food because of hunger, but they were knocked over by thugs.

"Good white flour soil, carefully sifted, mixed with fragrant wild vegetables, kneaded into dumplings, steamed and no worse than steamed buns, my mouth watered when I smelled it. Twenty for one woman! Thirty for one green

Strong labor force! No need for children or old people!"

"I want!"

"I want!"

As long as there is something to eat, there will be people grabbing it.

Among the refugees, there is no dignity or ideal. Food is life and everything.

In the end, Tang Gu and Zhao Yi stopped asking because they were used to it.

Everyone headed north and rescued a young boy who fainted from hunger. He looked to be about ten years old. The reason why so many people rescued him was because Cao Ang noticed that even though the boy fainted from hunger, he still held him in his arms.

He has written several volumes of books. Such a desperate and eager to learn person deserves help from others.

Everyone helped him onto the carriage, fed him some water and soaked pancakes, and then revived him. The young man was not seriously ill, but he was too hungry.

The young man's name was Li Ci, a native of Wei County. After the disaster, he fled westward with his family, and in the end he was the only one left in the family.

This young man seemed to come from a wealthy family. Although he was frightened, he could manage to stay calm and even be quite polite.

So Cao Ang decided to take this person with him.

There are not many ordinary people in the world who can read and are not rude when meeting important people.

Li Ci followed Cao Ang and others all the way, but told some of his stories.

"The old bark must be removed first, leaving the tender bark, which is cooked and dried in the sun, ground into fine powder, and kneaded into vegetable balls with the leaf paste. However, we can't eat it now because all the bark has been robbed."

"Look, that's the little lady from our third hometown in the countryside. She must be pretty. I used to like her very much. She didn't like strangers before, but now she spends an entire night with them just for a sesame seed cake."

Li Ci said, with only tears left in his eyes.

"Look, they are changing children."

Zhao Yi asked in confusion: "Why change children?"
