In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Chen Huai and Hu He looked at each other. Although they were suspicious, Shen Lizheng was from a peasant family, and it was even more impossible for him to know the news that even they didn't know, so they temporarily put aside their suspicions.

"Shen Lizheng, I think you have also seen that there are thousands of victims behind me. As the magistrate of Anning County, it is impossible for me to leave these victims and survive."

When the county magistrate said this, he glanced at him and continued: "You don't need to worry. We are just staying here. We will not beg you for food, nor will we seize your houses. Please let the villagers let us go."

Li was wiping the sweat from his forehead and didn't know how to answer. If he took in these refugees, they would definitely not be able to do it with their strength, but if he did nothing, he wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle.

Seeing Li Zheng's hesitation, Chen Huai said, "Shen Li Zheng, can I lend you a hatchet? I'm afraid we have to go to the mountain to chop some bamboo and build a bamboo house, otherwise..."

"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this request, he immediately agreed. Compared to accommodation or food, this request is nothing at all. Let alone borrowing it, he is willing to give it to them and do some good deeds. .

"Then I will go to the village now and ask, and I will borrow whatever I can for you." After finishing speaking, Li Zheng walked towards the village.

"Then I'll ask Hu He to go with you. Record whoever borrowed the hatchet. Don't make any mistakes. If something goes wrong, we..." Chen Huai instructed.

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's just a borrowed knife, it's not so serious." Li Zheng said hurriedly.

Hu He also smiled and said: "Li Zheng is so polite, so I'll bother you." Master Hu cupped his hands and said.

"Don't take it seriously, I'll go right now, I'll go right now, I will definitely lend you all the hatchets I can borrow, and I won't miss any of them." Li Zheng left with a smile.

Chen Huai and Hu He watched Li Zheng walk away before looking at each other.

, "Sir, look, is there anything abnormal?" Hu He asked cautiously.

"No, it seems I am worrying too much." Chen Huai nodded.

......

People in the village soon learned that the county magistrate had brought thousands of refugees to borrow hatchets.

The refugees were placed not far from the village. Some kind-hearted people not only lent hatchets but also a kitchen knife from home. Some enthusiastic villagers also helped the refugees go up the mountain to chop bamboo.

As luck would have it, the wooden house they built was only 200 meters away from Shen Nan's house, and even formed an encircling formation. Now they were safer than before.

"Lord Official Officer, what happened in the county? How come the County Magistrate is here too?" Wei Ba grabbed a handful of roasted peanuts and stuffed them into the official officer's hand.

"Are you from this village?" The officer was about thirty years old. Looking at the peanuts in Wei Ba's hand, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Yes, I live in that house." Wei Ba pointed to the house in the middle.

The official nodded clearly. They still had a good impression of the people in this village. They passed through two villages before, but no one dared to leave them behind.

Until they got here, Li Zheng agreed to let them stay without saying anything. The villagers borrowed hatchets and helped them chop bamboo to build wooden houses without saying anything. They were so enthusiastic.

Ordinarily, they may think it's nothing at this time, but at this time, if you can risk your life to help them, they will remember it forever.

Why! The official shook his head, "Several houses in the city were burned down. Even our grain depot was destroyed by the bad guy, and less than half of it was left." "

"Officials from all over the country have switched sides and proclaimed themselves kings. We, the county magistrate, have no choice. Now there are only more than 1000 victims left. If they are still in the city, they will definitely be forcibly taken in by others."

"If we don't leave, we will probably be forced into labor by the imperial court. In the past few days, the army from the neighboring state has begun to mobilize frequently. I guess it will soon be our county seat."

"Then, why don't you go find reinforcements from the imperial court?" Wei Ba asked.

"There are no reinforcements. The imperial court has too much time to take care of itself. Who can send troops to care about the life and death of us ordinary people?"

"It's unreasonable. As the king of a country, he is obviously capable, but he refuses to help refugees like us." Wei Ba said angrily.

The official shook his head and sighed: "How can there be so many saviors in the world? Take us as an example. If we had a little strength, we would have resisted long ago. Why is it our turn to take refuge in this mountain? In the final analysis, we just have no self-protection." Ability."

After hearing this, Wei Ba couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yes, there is no free food in the world. If you want to get something, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price.

......

There are about 120 official officials in the government office. Excluding the dead and injured, there are still as many as [-] people. There are also many skilled warriors among the refugees. They jointly formed a patrol team of five people, responsible for patrolling the safety around the village.

Everything seems peaceful, but in fact there is a mystery hidden.

At night, the patrol team jointly killed a green-skinned zombie, but one of them was scratched.

"My hand, my hand, brother, am I going to die?" The teenage boy turned pale after being caught, and held his injured right hand with trembling hands.

The boy's brother was the one who had been chatting with Weiba before. When he heard his brother's cry of pain, he immediately got up from the ground and murmured, not knowing how to comfort his brother.

"Oh, brother, I'm sorry for you." He squatted on the ground, trembling all over, crying silently.

"Cut his hand off, maybe there will be a chance of survival." Xu Qi was pulled by Wei Ba and ran to the group of people.

"What?" When he heard that his arm was about to be chopped off, the man raised his head in surprise, with an expression of both pain and surprise.

"Hurry and chop off his hand, otherwise it will be too late." Xu Qi urged.

Hearing these words, the man's eyes lit up and he looked at his brother and his arms. The man couldn't do it no matter what.

"Brother, come on, I'm not afraid of pain." The boy looked at his brother, biting his lip, with a look of determination on his face.

"Brother, I will protect you forever." He gritted his teeth and raised the sword in his hand.

Wei Ba and Xu Qi stood aside. They couldn't bear to see the man actually chop him off, but compared to the pain of losing a loved one, losing an arm was not so difficult to bear.

Wei Ba secretly breathed a sigh of relief, being alive was better than anything else.

Cutting off the injured part was an idea she got from the second lady. Xu Qi verified it twice and it was successful. She has told the villagers.

Even though he was a man, it was painful enough to cut off an arm like this.

"Pfft." The sound of the blade penetrating into the flesh was heard. The boy's face was in pain, and his lips were bitten until they turned white. He could not help but feel the pain when he saw his arm detached from his body.
