Everyone was so grateful that if they hadn't spent these days with their benefactor, they would have thought it was a manifestation of a god!
With these grains, the cost of their entry into the city will be much less. If they catch more wild beasts and mutated beasts, they will be able to collect the cost of entry into the city.
Zhang Hui looked towards the direction of the city.
They can easily take out so much food and military spaceships... Who are they?
…
At this moment, Ling Xuewei has entered the city.
She and Qingwu paid ten gold coins and were released.
After coming in, I first found a place to stay.
Their identity documents were forged businessmen, so the other party let them go without much inspection.
They found an inn and the two of them checked in. Ling Xuewei went to take a bath first to wash away the fatigue.
Then I changed my clothes and walked around the street.
The report showed that there was a rebellion in Fuzhou and riots in many places. She had seen a lot along the way. Most areas suffered from natural disasters, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, locust plagues...
Only here, it is still bustling and lively, seemingly unaffected.
The streets are bustling with traffic, people coming and going, shops lined up, and rows of antique buildings as far as the eye can see.
After all, it is a first-class city and still very prosperous.
In fact, Ling Xuewei had seen the map of Qingquan City in the defense map. The military defenses, fortresses, troops, as well as the central finance hall, military bunkers, etc. were all marked in detail, but this was the first time for an on-site inspection.
Ling Xuewei spent the whole afternoon wandering outside.
When I was about to go back, I saw a noise coming from the front.
I saw many people gathered in front of me, accompanied by the sound of fighting.
"How dare you steal something! Catch it!"
"Break his legs!"
"Let me go!"
…
When Ling Xuewei got closer, she realized that a group of people were surrounding several half-year-old children, punching and kicking them.
The oldest of those children was a teenager and the youngest was only as big as a peacock. They should not be more than five or six years old.
They were all dirty, their clothes were torn, and their hair was messy. They were holding a bag in their arms, but the bag leaked and cornmeal spilled all over the floor.
The child was pushed to the ground and kicked and punched, but he still held the bag and didn't let go.
The other children cried and rushed towards him. The older children protected him and were kicked hard by several strong men.
"It was you yesterday, wasn't it? Things are always lost in my shop. How dare you to steal from me? Beat me! Beat me hard!"
There was a beer-bellied shopkeeper with his hands on his hips and fiercely ordering his subordinates.
Accompanied by punches, kicks, and grunts, several children were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
There was no one around to intercede for them.
"These thieves have gone too far!"
"That's right! They look like they are refugees. There have been more than one theft incident recently. Ever since a group of refugees flooded into our Qingquan City, the chaos has not stopped! We only took one gold coin from them and let them in.
The result? More and more people are pouring in. How can there be so many places to accommodate them in the city?"
"That's right! They were all extremely dirty and had unclean hands and feet. They robbed us of food. All the relief food allocated by the superiors was given to them! It's too much!"
"Who says it isn't!"
…
Ling Xuewei understood.
It seems that Qingquan City has also encountered a lot of troubles due to the influx of large numbers of refugees.
"Ah! How dare you bite me!"
"Catch them quickly!"
At this time, the suppressed Xiao Dou Ding suddenly bit them, and several people took the opportunity to break free. Just when the strong men were about to catch them, a burst of thunder and firecrackers exploded around them, and the crowd was in chaos. During the pushing and shoving,
The children took the opportunity to escape.
Ling Xuewei saw keenly that the person who set off the cannon was also a refugee child. It turned out that there was secret support, so she was very thoughtful.
In the blink of an eye, several children fled like mud monkeys and disappeared without a trace.
The angry shopkeeper cursed and cursed!
"You go back first."
Ling Xuewei said something to Qingwu and then disappeared.
…
This way.
Several children are gathering together.
"Xiaojiu, are you okay?"
"It's okay...Fortunately you set off the firecrackers in time."
"It's hard to steal things lately. They are very alert. It's better for us to keep a low profile these days and don't go out."
"No! Shi Qi is sick. We must raise enough money to treat him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!"
"It's a pity that the cornmeal just now..."
The one named Xiaojiu looked disappointed.
"It's so strange. They said all the relief food was given to us! But we didn't even see a grain of rice!"
"Yes, when I went to the street, I also heard people talking about how the people above used the relief food for disaster relief and homeless people."
"Then why didn't we receive it?"
…
"Is what you said true?"
"who?!"
They turned around suddenly and saw a person slowly walking out of the shadows.
The person who came was none other than Ling Xuewei.
Several children looked at her warily, while the younger one hid behind them in fear.
"Who are you?"
"Are you an accomplice of the group just now?"
They looked scared and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Answer me a few questions, these are yours."
As she spoke, a basket appeared in Ling Xuewei's hand, which was filled with various fruits and vegetables.
There are vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc. The fruits are the simplest apples and grapes, which are watery, crisp, red and very fresh.
"Gudong."
There was the sound of the children swallowing, and their eyes widened as they stared at the basket.
You must know that these are vegetables and fruits! They are harder to obtain than food. Even families with good conditions have difficulty eating them!
"Are you really going to give it to us?"
The child named Xiaojiu looked alert and guarded.
"No? Then I'll find someone else." After Ling Xuewei said that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" Xiaojiu hurriedly stopped Ling Xuewei, "Just ask, I will tell you what I know."
"Well, what's the relief food you just talked about?"
"We heard people on the street saying they were giving us relief food, but we didn't receive it."
"Didn't everyone receive it?"
"Yes, we were the first ones to come here. We have been to all the places where refugees are resettled in the city. We have never heard of food being distributed anywhere."
"Xiaojiu is the most well-informed! He is our 'know-it-all'!"
"That's right! There is no relief food!"
"We didn't lie..."
…
Seeing Ling Xuewei's silence, several children spoke anxiously, fearing that she wouldn't believe it.
"I believe you. Then when did you come to Qingquan?"
"A month ago."
"Where have you been staying during this period?"
"Refugee camps, there are many such places in the city."
"No one will accommodate you?"
"Who will resettle us? There are so many refugees that we simply can't accommodate them. Not only that, if we want to stay in Qingquan City, we have to pay money and food every month, otherwise we will be expelled."
