Chapter 88: Being chased by refugees in troubled times (1/2)

Chu Chenyin listened to their shouts from afar, pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

Those people were all skinny and yellow, wearing tattered clothes, and looked rather miserable.

If it weren't for what they just said, maybe someone would really be foolish enough to feel sorry for them.

Unfortunately, the people they met were not someone else, but the Fu family. Ever since they saw Madam Liu's death scene, the people in the Fu family's carriage had become wary of such refugees.

Not to mention seeing them looking like they were ready to rob and kill.

Whoever gives food is a fool.

Fu Qianghong and Chu Chenyin both leaned over to look behind the carriage and snorted coldly, "If they want to steal our food, we'll see if they have the ability to do so!"

As he spoke, he called out to Fu Yanting who was driving in front of him, "Brother, hurry up! They are catching up with us!"

After hearing this, Fu Yanting immediately tightened the reins and shouted, "Drive!"

In order to ensure the safety of food, Uncle Liu and Lai Fu drove the carriage loaded with supplies in the middle, while Chu Chenyin and the Fu brothers and sisters drove in the rear.

The carriage ran faster and faster, leaving those ferocious refugees behind.

As the carriage continued to move forward, they unknowingly arrived at Gaoquan County, more than ten kilometers away from Anzhou City.

Fu Yanting slowed down the carriage and continued to move forward. Chu Chenyin came out of the carriage, sat beside him and looked around.

Gaoquan County is completely different from its name. There are no so-called springs, but endless snow-capped mountains and barren land covered with dead grass.

There are still many bones on the ground.

If you look closely, you can see cows, sheep, wolves, and even children.

When Chu Chenyin saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but think of the no-man's land he had passed through in the past.

This place is more desolate and terrifying than a no-man's land.

From time to time, a vulture feeding on carrion flies overhead.

Chu Chenyin's scalp tingled as he listened to the sound of the vulture flying by.

Fu Yanting pulled the reins, glanced at her sideways, and said, "This place was grassland and forest a year ago. There was also sweet and delicious spring water in the mountains, so this place is also called Qingquan Town."

Chu Chenyin could roughly agree with what happened next: the sudden drought, excessive reclamation, and years of sandstorms. When people still thought nothing had happened, the disaster had already begun quietly.
