Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 75

Xiao Hong bought a whole set of old clothes from the people, then smeared mud on his face, pretended to be weak, and walked to Baima County where the grain was placed, leaning on a wooden stick.

As we get closer to Baima County, there are more and more people around Xiao Hong. Most of them are sallow and thin, and many old people need the help of young people to move around with difficulty.

"Oops..." A lonely old man accidentally fell to the side of the road.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Hong hurried over and helped the old man up. However, the surrounding people seemed not to see the old man and continued on their way without anyone coming to help him.

In fact, it is not their fault. This time Dongjun County suffered an unprecedented flood, and those who survived the flood have been on the brink of death. Disease, hunger, and pests are constantly eroding their lives. Now there is no one except their own family. Have the energy and ability to help others.

"Young man, thank you." The old man stood up slowly with Xiao Hong's support.

"Ouch..." the old man's ankle was sprained, and he couldn't walk at all.

"Young man, let's go, don't worry about the old man." The old man sat on the side of the road and said: "In this world, if you can help me, young man, I will be very grateful to you. Let's go and go to the county to get food. I heard that Lord Wu An sent a lot of furs, maybe you can get one if you go early."

Xiao Hong looked at the white-haired old man, and said: "Old man, boy, I am in good health and I am fighting the cold. Come and let me carry you to the county seat."

Saying that, Xiao Hong squatted down and wanted to carry the old man on his back.

"It can't be done, it can't be done," the old man repeatedly refused.

"What's wrong with this, old man, you hold my neck." Xiao Hong ignored the old man's refusal, and directly carried the old man on his back.

"Old man, where are your family members?" Xiao Hong walked in the refugee line with the old man on his back, looking out of place.

"Alas" the old man sighed and said slowly: "Both sons died on the battlefield, the eldest daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and the flood took away the two grandsons and the youngest daughter-in-law." As he said this, the old man cried. stand up.

Hearing the old man's cry, Xiao Hong felt very uncomfortable, and he also thought of his father.

Since his father left, Xiao Hong and his mother have been living together with each other, living every day with difficulty. It wasn't until Xiao Hong found a cleaning job in a scientific research institute that his life improved slightly.

But now that he has traveled to the Qin Dynasty, he doesn't know how his mother is now, thinking of this place, Xiao Hong also shed tears.

"Old man, if you don't mind, I will take care of you in the future." Xiao Hong looked at the old man, thinking of his father, and said without opening his mouth.

"This old man can't afford it," the old man refused. From the fact that Xiao Hong was able to walk so fast with him on his back, the old man could tell that Xiao Hong was not an ordinary person.

"There's nothing wrong with this, the elders are respected," Xiao Hong said with the old man on his back.

"Here, I..." The old man didn't expect that he would meet such a good person when he was going to be buried soon, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Old man, you can call me Xiao Shan in the future." Xiao Hong still concealed his name, although he wasn't sure if the old man knew that Lord Wu An was called Xiao Hong, but it's always good to be careful.

"Master, don't you know your name yet?"

"The old man is called Niu Er"

"Old man, you can hold on to your feet."

In this way, Xiao Hong followed the refugee team with the old man on his back for an hour, and finally saw the city wall of Baima County.

Baima County got its name from the Baimajin in the Qin Dynasty, which was covered by the ancient Baima Water and Baima Mountain.

"All the people who receive food go here." In order to prevent unnecessary confusion, the magistrate of Baima County sent soldiers to garrison around, and all the people could only move forward step by step along the prescribed road.

From the time Xiao Hong stepped into Baima County, it took a full hour to get food from Xiao Hong.

"Just this little grain?" Xiao Hong asked with a frown, looking at less than six taels of yellow rice in the bowl (one tael in the Qin Dynasty is equivalent to fifteen grams in modern times).

"Is this too little? In addition, let's go quickly, the people behind are still waiting." The yamen servant who distributed the food pushed Xiao Hong away.

"Is there another person on my back?" Xiao Hong looked at the servant and said.

"This is food for two people!"

"Then you can still get it tomorrow?" Xiao Hong asked uncertainly, although the amount given was small, but if it was distributed once a day, it was still acceptable.

"Tomorrow? What are you thinking? This is your seven-day ration." The yamen servant said impatiently, "If you don't leave, sir, I'll beat you with a whip!"

Xiao Hong endured the anger in his heart, and asked: "Then what about the fur sent by Lord Wu An?"

"No, no, there is no fur for you to use." The yamen servant was already very impatient.

Hearing this, Xiao Hong couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't believe that Qin Shihuang, who had already opened a warehouse to release grain, would give the people this ration. Let alone a week, it would be very difficult for a day.

Xiao Hong was very relieved when Wang Chen was doing things, he didn't believe that Wang Chen dared to make any small moves, and now it has been six days since he left Xianyang, the fur should have already been delivered to a batch.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong immediately released his priesthood, and soon found the furs piled up in the warehouse.

Seeing these furs, it means that the officials here are embezzling the relief food and furs, and they are drinking the blood of these people.

Looking at Xiao Hong who was stunned in place, the yamen servant swung his whip and beat him down.

砰

The whip in the yamen servant's hand broke at the sound, and the yamen servant was also knocked down by Xiao Hong.

"Whoever dares to cause trouble here, come and take it down for me," the magistrate of Baima County sternly said.

The surrounding soldiers held long spears and pressed forward step by step, and surrounded Xiao Hong, while the surrounding people were kept out.

"Grandpa, sit here and rest." Xiao Hong didn't care about the surrounding soldiers, but slowly helped Niu Er to sit down.

"Young man, run away, leave the old man alone," said the old man eagerly.

"Old man, don't worry, nothing will happen." Xiao Hong comforted his godfather with a smile, then got up and looked around at the soldiers who were about to attack.

"Wait," Xiao Hong said loudly.

"Why do you know to beg for mercy now? It's too late, take this troublemaker down." In the eyes of the magistrate of Baima County, a troublemaker like Xiao Hong has no right to beg for mercy.

"Who said I asked for mercy?" Xiao Hong took out the token of Lord Wu'an from his waist, and said, "I am Lord Wu'an, you are still not backing down?"

The surrounding soldiers were suppressed by Xiao Hong's hand, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Hahahaha" the magistrate of Baima County laughed loudly and said, "If you dare to impersonate Lord Wu'an, you will be punished with a death sentence, and these two troublesome people will be killed on the spot."

"You really don't know how to live or die." Xiao Hong looked at the sergeants who surrounded him again, waved his hand, and the wind suddenly blew up.

And Xiao Hong took advantage of the dust blown by the strong wind to block everyone's sight, took out his brocade robe from his private space and changed into it, stood up with his sword, ready to make a brilliant debut.
