The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain were watching them eagerly, and the big river in the distance blocked their way. There was nothing they could do except wait.
Even though the followers were worried, they had no choice but to give up.

No words all night
The next day, Suman and her friends quietly lit a fire and had breakfast at daybreak.
I can't eat anything with strong smells, so I just cooked some sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.
They had just finished eating when there was movement at the dock.
It turned out that a wave of refugees had arrived.
Looking at them, the villagers seemed to see themselves a dozen days ago, crowding at the dock, begging the officers and soldiers to let them get on the boat.
Before, they were in the middle of it and couldn't see it clearly, but now they were able to understand the tricks of the officers and soldiers as they watched from the sidelines.
If they let the refugees get on board with great fanfare, the refugees would not dare to come up. The more they tried to stop them, the more anxious the refugees would become.
However, the officers and soldiers will probably not let anyone go in a short time. There are only thirty or forty people in this group, which is not enough to fill the seats.
Judging from the indifferent look of the officers and soldiers, it seems they are still waiting for the large force behind them.

Unless, they have already investigated the whereabouts of these refugees clearly.
How many villages, how many towns, and how many people are there in them.
The more Su Man thought about it, the more frightened she became. The government clearly wanted to seal the refugees in the city, but they did not block them at the source, but simply waited until they came along.
Along the way, countless people died of starvation, were killed by bandits, or died of disease.

No wonder, no wonder there are so many bandits along the way.
I think the government not only ignores it, but may even secretly facilitate it.
It's really abominable.
If Suman's guess is correct, there will probably be more refugees coming from all over the place.
These officers and soldiers are keeping their troops in place at the moment, planning to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Since there are still people...
Su Man looked at the big ship on the river and suddenly had an idea.
