Chapter 239: Releasing Grain
"What's going on?"
Everyone murmured, and before they knew it, quite a few people had gathered.
Even those who were almost too hungry to have any strength struggled to get up and looked over there with difficulty.
Just then, several carriages slowly approached from a distance.
The back of the carriage was filled with bags of things.
However, the people only took a glance and then looked away.
After all, these things won't be given to them, and it's daytime anyway, so it's better to just watch the fun.
Even though they were far away, they looked at the woman sitting in the middle, who seemed to smile and then said something.
As soon as the words fell, everyone moved.
They all gathered in front of the carriage, unloading the things on the carriage and waving at them.
Judging from the look on his face, he seemed to want them to pass.
The people present were even more confused.
"They want us to pass."
Everyone nodded.
"Shall we go over there?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Have you forgotten that those people beat us up some time ago?"
One sentence reminded everyone of those humiliating days.
At that time, because they were very hungry, they went to the county magistrate's office to ask people to distribute some food.
However, those guards beat them up severely.
"The County Magistrate's Office is not a place for charity. Lowlifes like you deserve to starve to death, yet you still dare to come here and ask for food. How dare you be so shameless?"
As they spoke, they stepped on their faces, and some even urinated on them, humiliating them to the extreme and forcing them to stay away from the county magistrate's office from then on.
And now, the ones waving at them were still the guards from that day.
Faced with these people, they naturally would not go over.
But the guards were about to cry.
They looked back at Gu Jingchun who was smiling at them.
They looked at the ferocious-looking men behind Gu Jingchun again. They always felt that their swords were about to slash towards their necks.
"Come here quickly, food is being distributed for free."
The guards shouted.
They shouted very loudly, but the people on the other side remained indifferent.
"Don't go there, it must be a trap. Why would they be so kind as to give us food?"
"I think so too. There must be some conspiracy."
No one moved, and for a moment, the two sides were in opposition.
Finally, the guards could no longer bear it. They were afraid that Gu Jingchun would kill them, so they immediately knelt down and begged, wanting to personally deliver the food to the victims.
Gu Jingchun sneered.
"It seems that you often bully the people. That's why they dare not accept your food even if they starve to death."
Gu Jingchun smiled as he spoke.
"In that case, why not hand your lives over to the hands of those people?"
"If they are dissatisfied with you in any way, I will kill you immediately."
Everyone nodded while crying, and hurriedly went to the other side with the food.
When the people saw the guards rushing towards them with a bag in their arms, they were so scared that they kept backing away and finally ran away.
The guards behind him were almost crying while chasing them. If the people in front had not looked back, they would have knelt down in front of them.
"Don't run, don't run. We won't hurt you. We're just bringing you food."
But after he finished speaking, everyone ran away.
Only those who were barely alive, who had only one breath left and were sure to be unable to escape, were left looking at them in horror.
Because these guards actually started fighting in front of them.
"This is the food I give you."
"No, you don't want his, you want mine.
His rice is not good, it's from last year. This is new rice from this year. I'm giving it to you. It's delicious. Go home and steam it. Eating this will give you strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled aside by the person behind him.
Another guard came to him with a bowl of hot porridge.
"Come, finish your porridge. It will give you strength, and then you can go get food."
As he spoke, he helped the man sit up and personally fed the porridge into his mouth.
The people hiding in the dark watched this scene and clenched their fists in anger, tears streaming uncontrollably from their eyes.
“These bastards!”
"They're not only trying to starve us to death, they're also trying to poison us."
"This is intolerable."
"I...I'm going to fight them now."
As they spoke, they rushed towards the guards.
"You bastards, I'm going to fight you."
The two guards looked at the people rushing towards them aggressively and wanted to run away.
But when he thought of Gu Jingchun's words, he felt as if he saw his head falling off. He didn't care about anything and immediately knelt down.
"I beg you, just give me some food."
The people who were ready to fight stopped in their tracks when they heard the word "food". Then they all lowered their heads and saw the food held high in the hands of the guards.
They blinked.
"Is the food for us?"
The guards nodded.
"You poisoned it?"
The guards hurriedly shook their heads.
"No, no, absolutely not. These are all good. Take them back and eat them quickly, then notify the people to come and get the food."
But once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. The people still didn't believe it and their eyes fell on the man lying on the ground.
I saw that the man had sat up and was drinking porridge continuously, one bowl after another.
Not only did he not fall down, but his health got better and better and he gained more strength.
This means that there is no poison in it.
Thinking of this, everyone immediately rushed over and started snatching food.
As more and more people came, the situation became increasingly chaotic.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but cough.
Everyone immediately became alert and changed their expressions, with a colder look on their faces.
"Each person can only get one, don't rush, there will be more tomorrow."
These people had accumulated power for a long time, and with just one sentence, they quieted down the crowded crowd.
In this way, for four consecutive days, everyone received food here.
The lives of themselves and their children were finally saved, and the people couldn't help but hug each other and cry.
Gu Jingchun sat at the door the whole time, watching the scene with a smile on his face.
Beside her, Gu Jinxi maintained the same posture as her, but with a smile on his face.
"Mom, you're awesome. I knew that once things were in your hands, they would be resolved."
As the sun sets, the sunset glows half the sky red, but it is far less dazzling than the woman standing in front of them.
Gu Jingchun's plain skirt was covered in dust, and her hair was disheveled by the wind.
The people's cracked lips moved, and their cries of thanks mixed with the wind and sand rose one after another.
Suddenly, a child grabbed the corner of Gu Jingchun's clothes, clenching his skinny little hands tightly.
Gu Jingchun lowered his head and gently stroked the child's hair, but suddenly heard a slight sound.
"Thank you so much, young lady!"
A man suddenly knelt down and banged his forehead heavily on the cracked ground.
"We've been gnawing on tree bark for half a month, and it's you..."
He was choked with sobs before he could finish his words.
The refugees around them knelt down with a loud bang, and the sound of their kowtows startled the crows on the dead trees.
