Chapter 89 90. Analysis
"You said Daocheng is in chaos now?" Gu Sanbu wondered if he was hard of hearing. "You are not kidding, are you?"
Village Chief Shi, "This is not a joke. It's absolutely true."
Gu Sanbu said, "That's the city gate, the fortress of Shangjing. Last time, we were lucky enough to rush in. How could something like this happen again this time?"
Village Chief Shi said, “It is because we live at the city gate that we can see more clearly.
Although these refugees were not allowed to enter the city, as long as they could show money and tickets, the police would find a way to get them in.
I don’t know how the others found out, but they took advantage of the moment when these people were picking up people to enter the city and attacked the city overnight.”
Gu Wenheng, "Is it that simple?"
Village Chief Shi took a few gulps of water and said, "It's not that simple. We refugees only have axes and hoes at most. How can we defeat the soldiers guarding the city?
I still remember that there was a very fast figure flying around the officers and soldiers at the city gate. Wherever he passed, the officers and soldiers stood there in a daze, like wooden stakes. "
Acupoint pressing. These two words immediately flashed through Jin Qianqian's mind.
"That's because some gangsters got involved," Gu Sanbu secretly felt lucky that Gu Yuanyu had found this way out, otherwise if they were really involved, who knows what would have been everyone's fate.
"That should be it," Shi Wenshan was also present at the time, "That man is amazing. After dealing with the soldiers at the city gate, he protected the refugees and rushed to the official road."
"You went in again?" Village Chief Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Then why did you come back?"
Shi Wenshan, "I was just curious, so I ran in to take a look. My parents are here, and I can't leave them behind."
Gu Wenheng, "Are there many people going in?"
Shi Wenshan asked, "That's quite a lot. Although I don't know the exact number, it must be tens of thousands, right?"
"Can we enter and exit that city now?" Gu Mingchun was a little curious.
Shi Wenshan glanced at him. This question was really stupid. "It has been locked up for a long time. That expert just helped and didn't guard it. The soldiers who came over once again controlled it. But now more and more people are gathering outside the city gate. If they can't enter the city, I guess they will all go this way."
Gu Sanbu looked at the densely packed crowds near the lake and felt his heart tighten. So many people were crowded together, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating together. It was not a good sign.
He turned his head and glanced at Gu Wenheng, which made Gu Wenheng feel a little numb. The old man's eyes were a little strange. What did he mean?
Village Chief Shi looked around curiously, "It seems like everywhere here is full of people. I wonder where we can squeeze in?"
Gu Sanbu was also very distressed. Since they all came from the same place, it was naturally safer for them to live together. If there weren't so many of them, who knows how many conspirators would have been attracted these days.
Everywhere around here was already occupied, so in the end everyone had no choice but to reduce their own space as much as possible to make room for Village Chief Shi and his group who came later.
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian also cleared out half of their original space and let Li Cuicui and the others live together. It is much better to be able to live together as a family than to live with strangers.
"Yuan Yu, my father asked you to come over for a moment." Just as he had tidied up his sleeping place, Gu Shulin came over to call for help.
"You should go quickly!" Li Cuicui spread out the bedding neatly, while Jin Qianqian and Hong Daya were also helping her to set up the shed.
Gu Wenheng glanced at Jin Qianqian, and waited until she nodded slightly before he stood up and left.
"I didn't expect that you are also afraid of your wife. Do you have to report every step you take?" Gu Shulin wanted to make friends with Gu Wenheng, so he started by teasing.
"A daughter-in-law is a lifelong companion, so we must respect each other," Gu Wenheng didn't want to beat around the bush on this issue, so he turned around and asked him, "Why did Third Grandpa look for me at this time? Is there anything good?"
"Brat, do I have to have good things to find you?" Gu Shulin looked at Gu Wenheng inquiringly, "What on earth did you learn from the old scholar in those years that you even learned medical books?"
Gu Wenheng, "It just so happens that my master has some miscellaneous books, which I use to kill time when I'm bored. I never thought that there would be a day when I would be able to use them."
How could my secrets be exposed so easily? I will have to rely on him to cover for me in the future.
Gu Shulin, "When the old scholar came to our village, no one was optimistic about him. But now many people are beating their hands and stamping their feet, envious and jealous of you!"
Gu Wenheng: "..." Fortunately, I didn't give you the chance, otherwise where would I find such a big cheat?
"Here you are," Gu Sanbu patted the seat next to him, motioning Gu Wenheng to sit over.
"You two have been walking in the mountains for so long. Have you ever come across a place with water like this one?" Without beating around the bush, Gu Sanbu went straight to the point.
The thought of the hunting village flashed through Gu Wenheng's mind, but he quickly dismissed it, "No, it took us several days to get here, and the mountain road there is the same, even more rugged than the road here.
When we got to the middle section, there was a long ditch. We had to use all our strength and courage to climb over it carefully on a single log. "
Although Gu Wenheng could lead these people into Daocheng through the small path, such a large group of hundreds of people would be discovered in minutes.
"Look at us now. More and more people are gathering here, and it's getting dirtier and messier. When there are too many people, conflicts are more likely to arise. Look at these days, several families are often fighting over trivial matters. This is not a long-term solution."
Gu Wenheng noticed that the old man was staring at him, and he really thought highly of him.
"Now we can only wait," Gu Wenheng knew the old man's worries and could only analyze his own views. "Since so many refugees entered the city before, Shangjing must have been affected. As long as His Majesty doesn't do anything, he won't just ignore it."
"You mean the higher-ups will take care of it?" Such a long time had passed, and everyone had already felt disheartened. After hearing what Gu Wenheng said, Gu Sanbu couldn't help but straighten up.
"The current ruler has only been on the throne for a few years. He has suddenly encountered a disaster that happens only once in a century. I guess he has no idea how to deal with it right away. But as long as he wants to be a benevolent ruler, he will not abandon his people."
Gu Wenheng has also analyzed this privately with Jin Qianqian these days. Young and energetic people always behave in the most unpredictable ways.
What worries him and Jin Qianqian the most is the aftermath of the drought, that is, the plague.
Fortunately, the people who come here are relatively conscious and they go to the distant mountains and forests to solve their personal problems.
Even when using water from the lake, everyone supervises each other and fetches the water outside for washing.
In addition, as the weather gets colder day by day, the possibility of an epidemic breaking out is lower, which makes them feel a little relieved.
