"These victims are really like dogs biting Lu Dongbin. They don't know how to treat people well. I think about them, lest they fall into the tiger's mouth and be eaten by others without knowing what happened, only to be bitten by them again.
"
Wang Meng's good-hearted attempts to persuade the victims to turn around failed, but after being scolded by the victims, he couldn't help but said angrily.
"Forget it, Mr. Wang, your vision is different. They are short-sighted, so why bother with them. To say that they are also blessed. We went to Jingnan to eradicate Zhu Ping'an, the scourge of corrupt officials. They went to Jingnan and it is not considered the wrong way.
.”
Peng Cheng gently patted Wang Meng on the shoulder, smiled and teased, and comforted Wang Meng.
"Well, that's true. When they meet us, they meet a noble person." Wang Meng said with a bitter smile.
The group continued to move towards Jingnan. The closer they got to Jingnan, the more refugee groups they encountered on the way. Some were local refugees from Taiping County, and more were refugees from other places passing through Taiping County, bringing the elderly and the young.
Dragging their families with them, the fleeing teams came from three directions and gathered together on the official road leading to Jingnan, forming a huge fleeing group. Xu Hai and others roughly counted thousands of people.
So much.
Not only that, the flow of people is still coming from three sides, heading towards Jingnan like ants.
This is not what shocked Xu Hai and others the most. What shocked them the most and made them unbelievable was that the people who had gathered to flee to Jingnan looked in the direction of Jingnan one by one, their eyes full of trust and trust.
Hope, with faces filled with joy and excitement, like a pilgrim.
"Look at Jingnan. After passing the foot of this mountain, Jingnan is in front of you!"
"Dad, please cheer up. We are going to Jingnan. We are saved."
"Okay, hold on to me, dad can still hold on."
"Damn it, that's great, we are finally almost to Jingnan, we are saved, woo woo woo"
The victims of the disaster, all with sallow faces and thin muscles, who had gone through many hardships, could not help but burst into tears of excitement when they looked at Jingnan so close at hand.
Weird things happen every year, especially today!
Xu Hai and others looked at this scene and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Why are there so many hungry victims?!
Don’t everyone know that there is a corrupt official in Jingnan called Zhu Ping’an who does not care about the life and death of the people, colludes with grain merchants, and drives up grain prices?!
Don’t everyone know that Jingnan is not a place of hope, but a scorching hell?!
Don’t everyone know that once they go to Jingnan on this trip, all the bones and dregs will be chewed by Zhu Ping’an?!
Xu Hai and others couldn't help but get wet at the corners of their eyes when they looked at these refugees who were fleeing to Jingnan like pilgrims.
Zhu Pingan, a corrupt official, somehow deceived these refugees. There are so many disaster victims today, but what about yesterday? What about the day before yesterday? How long has this scene lasted?! How many refugees in Jingnan did Zhu Pingan deceive?
Already?! I walked into Jingnan with hope, and then Zhu Pingan first took away the fine gold and silver he was carrying, then peeled off the skin, and then chewed it until not even the bones and dregs were left.
"Let's go to Jingnan quickly and seek justice for the people who have been harmed! Eliminate a big scourge for the people who are about to be harmed!" Xu Hai suddenly fixed his eyes and said to Wang Meng and others.
"Walk!"
The group of people hurriedly passed the huge crowd of refugees and rushed towards Jingnan.
After bypassing a low ridge, we entered the Jingnan boundary. As soon as we entered the Jingnan boundary, Xu Hai and others were dumbfounded.
Damn it!
What about Jingnan?
The sky is blue, the trees are green, the grass is green, the rivers are clear, the green vegetables in the rice fields are swaying in the wind, and the smoke rising from the distant kitchens is full of paintings and poetry. This is Jiangnan!
only
Why is Jingnan so Jiangnan?!
Xu Hai and others were mentally prepared to see such tragic hellish scenes as corpses littering the fields and Yi Zi cannibalizing each other. However, what they saw was not such miserable hellish scenes, but the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the curling smoke of Jiangnan, a Jiangnan that had not been seen for a long time.
, Xu Hai and others couldn't help being dumbfounded, and they were all dumbfounded.
"Dear fellow villagers who have come from afar, please wash your hands first before eating. Don't crowd or grab. Everyone has a share. Uncle, and that auntie, please go slowly. Don't be in a hurry. We have plenty of porridge.
, Enough! The steamed buns have just come out of the pot, and everyone is careful to burn their mouths. After eating, everyone walks forward, and there are people in front of them to help everyone. As long as everyone works hard, not only will they have food to eat, but they will also have money."
"Please get up quickly. Please get everyone up. We can't bear it. If you want to thank us, thank our county magistrate. All this was ordered by our magistrate. We are just running errands."
Walking further, you will see a wide field with ten large porridge pots lined up, each steamer steaming hot. Three bulging grain trucks are parked on the field. The porridge in the pots is finished.
Open the bag at any time to get food, and use the stream water on the spot to cook it in a pot. In front of the site, there are several people wearing government uniforms directing the disaster victims to line up by the stream to wash their hands and faces, and then receive porridge and distribute steamed buns. The entire site is clean.
Neat and organized.
The venue was full of refugees who had fled here, holding bowls of porridge and eating steamed buns, and their faces were filled with happiness.
Moving forward, the refugees who had finished their meals were heading to the resettlement site in front of them one after another under the guidance of the receptionist.
The scenery here is picturesque, there is food and drink here, and the people here are overflowing with happiness and hope.
What kind of miserable hell is this place? Compared with other places in the south of the Yangtze River, especially compared with the nearby Taizhou Prefecture, Taiping County and other places, this Jingnan is simply a paradise.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Xu Hai and others could not help but recall Tao Yuanming's classic "Peach Blossom Spring" in their minds: In the Taiyuan Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling made a living by fishing. They walked along the stream and forgot how far the road was. Suddenly
When you encounter a peach blossom forest, there are hundreds of steps along the bank. There are no miscellaneous trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. This is very strange for fishermen.
This is unscientific!
The way I opened it must be wrong!
Xu Hai and others couldn't help but shook their heads, closed their eyes, and opened them again. What they saw was still Jingnan, which was like a peach blossom garden.
What is going on?! How could this happen?! Is this Jingnan? Did we go wrong?!
Xu Hai and others looked at each other, and were stunned! They were all shocked, like wooden stakes, stuck in place, looking at this picturesque Jingnan with ample food and rice, and a paradise.
, the most serious one was the magistrate of Taiping County, whose mouth opened like the mouth of a box.
Zhang Guyi, a householder in Dongchang, was also shocked, but compared to Xu Hai, Taiping County Magistrate and others, he was much better off.
Before coming, although Du Gong Huang didn't say anything explicitly, his words were full of hints. Coupled with his understanding of Zhu Ping'an, he felt that something was fishy, but he didn't expect that Jingnan's situation would be so good.
