Chapter 232 Refugees
The next morning, the group got up and set off.
But when they entered Luozhou, there were suddenly many more refugees.
Chu Changfeng went to ask and found out that someone in Luozhou claimed to be a king and was fighting against the soldiers sent by the imperial court. They occupied the largest and most prosperous county in Luozhou and made it their capital.
The common people inside were exploited miserably.
All the men were taken away as soldiers. They were few in number and were fighting every day. People died every day. Now even random people they met on the street would be taken away.
After hearing this, Chu Changfeng's face instantly became serious.
If that's the case, this journey will not be peaceful, very peaceful.
There are so many refugees fleeing...
"How is it? Is the situation okay? Why are there so many refugees?"
As soon as he came back, Chu Changfeng asked hurriedly.
He sighed, "Someone here claims to be king and is fighting a war with the imperial court. We must leave quickly."
This time they didn't dare to take the pipeline. Even though it was a roundabout way and required a lot more walking, they could only take the small road.
After walking for two days, a war suddenly broke out ahead, and even the small roads were filled with refugees.
It was freezing cold, and all their food had been taken away. They had no idea how long they had been fleeing, and everyone was starving.
As Chu Changfeng and his group were walking, they encountered a group of refugees who were half-naked and had cold eyes.
We have men and women, old and young, but no children.
Seeing them, Chu Changfeng instantly became fully alert.
Shen Zhi didn't understand why he was so nervous.
At night, they and the refugees had to live in a deserted village.
Chu Changfeng didn't want to, but there was no better place to stay.
He didn't dare sleep that night.
When it was time to cook, Chu Changfeng pulled Shen Zhi away.
Shen Zhi didn't know what he was going to say, "What's wrong? Are you hungry? I'll make it right away. What do you want to eat?"
Chu Changfeng shook his head, "Don't cook today, and don't eat anything. Just drink some water at most."
Shen Zhi frowned and couldn't help looking at the place where the refugees were. "You mean these people..."
Chu Changfeng held her shoulders with both hands, "These people's eyes are not right. They have been staring at our bags and carriages on the road. Who knows what they want to do."
Shen Zhi swallowed nervously and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go talk to them."
All of them gathered in a dilapidated house, and Chu Changfeng sat at the door watching, his eyes fixed on those people with vigilance and precaution.
The same goes for those people.
Through the open door, their eyes darted back and forth over the group of children gathered together.
The little guys didn't know that they had become someone else's prey.
Chu Changfeng felt a little uneasy.
I always feel that these people are plotting some big conspiracy.
Everyone in the room was growling with hunger.
Shen Zhi whispered: "We can't cook today. Those refugees outside are not good people. If they see us eating, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
When everyone heard this, they said they understood what she meant.
Naturally agree.
But they still have some steamed buns.
Anyway, those people are not in this room, so they can just hide and have a steamed bun each.
Asking Chu Changfeng to close the door, Shen Zhi distributed the steamed buns to everyone and asked them to finish eating quickly.
Chu Changfeng quickly ate a steamed bun and stood guard at the door.
The others finished their meal quickly.
Seeing Chu Changfeng guarding the door alone, Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou walked up to him.
"Dad, it's very cold here, and there's a strong wind. Let's go in and warm ourselves by the fire."
"Yes, Daddy, those bad guys definitely wouldn't dare to come. There are so many of us."
Chu Changfeng touched their heads and said, "Daddy is fine."
"Then we'll stay here with you for a while!" Chu Jinnian patted his chest.
Chu Changfeng suddenly sensed a gaze that sent a chill down his spine and quickly looked towards the group of refugees.
They inadvertently looked in his direction, their eyes fiery and excited.
Chu Changfeng's eyebrows jumped. They weren't so excited just now. How come...
Suddenly thinking of something, he looked sharply at his two little darlings.
Chu Jinzhou was originally fair and plump, and Chu Jinnian had also become much whiter and fatter without him noticing.
These people...if...
Chu Changfeng's heart sank suddenly, "Niannian, Zhouzhou, the two of you go in quickly, don't come here."
The two little ones scratched their heads. Although they didn't know why their daddy didn't let them accompany him, they still went back obediently.
Chu Changfeng raised his head and looked at the refugees with a vicious look.
When they suddenly looked into his eyes, the heat in their eyes faded away and gradually turned into darkness.
Midnight arrived and everyone went to sleep, but Chu Changfeng did not dare to sleep.
The refugees huddled together, talking about something.
Chu Changfeng couldn't hear what they said clearly, but he was filled with fear.
Chu Xiao came and sat down next to him, "Go get some sleep, I'll watch you."
Chu Changfeng shook his head, "Dad, we must not let our guard down tonight. These people... are starving, they'll eat anything."
Chu Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat. "You...you mean..."
"Yes." Chu Changfeng nodded seriously, "This kind of thing is too common in disasters and wars."
Chu Xiao looked at the sleeping little guys, feeling very heavy in his heart, "Why don't we leave overnight? It's really dangerous to stay here. There are so many of them."
Chu Changfeng: "It's too cold. There's only one deserted village around. Where can we go? We can leave tomorrow."
"Okay." Chu Xiao sighed, "I'll watch with you."
As the sky gradually brightened, everyone woke up and Chu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. However, a man suddenly walked out from the group of refugees.
He walked straight towards Chu Changfeng.
Chu Changfeng woke up instantly. He clenched the knife in his hand and stared at the man who was approaching step by step.
The man was wearing very little and was very dark, but he was not thin. He had dark eyes and it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.
"Stop!" Chu Changfeng said coldly, "This is our territory, what do you want to do?"
Chu Xiao also woke up. A man suddenly appeared at the door, and he became alert.
The man stared at Chu Changfeng, but his eyes couldn't help but glance into the house.
Chu Changfeng drew out his knife and stabbed it into his arm without any warning.
"what!!"
The man wailed in pain.
"If you dare to look around again, next time, it will be your eyes."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Changfeng's eyes.
If they really do something, they won't be afraid of getting their hands on human blood.
The man covered his arm and looked at him angrily. He seemed to feel that Chu Changfeng's strength should not be underestimated, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"I'll give you a woman."
His voice was gruff and his eyes were like venomous snakes.
Chu Changfeng had a blank expression on his face.
"Give me that." The man pointed into the house.
