The fog was thick, and people from several families ran towards the city gates with their children trapped in a flood of casualties.
Everyone was in a hurry and running very fast, one step behind one place behind, there were so many victims, who knew there would be food and clothing for them when it was their turn?
Qin Sanlang saw that all the victims ran towards the city gate, and said to some adults: "I ran fast, I will go to the gate to occupy a place first." Luo Wu said to Gu Jin'an
: "We'll go too."
They He had long since become acquainted with Qin Sanlang, and they had always been together in every way, Qin Lao was also happy to see this, Erlang was too cold and gregarious, and they were always together in every way, Qin Lao was also happy to see this, so he could only rely on Sanlang to establish a good relationship with some guys.
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Let's go."
The three of them ran towards the city gate like a gust of wind.
Gu Dexing, Gu Qingtian, Gu Qingliang, and Tian Erqiang did not escape. They were terrified with many things on their way to escape from the wilderness. Most of the time they follow their parents and are unwilling to act alone.
“Be careful, be patient when something happens, and do not clash with other victims!” Gu Dashan shouted anxiously behind them, and the three of them disappeared before those words fell.
Father Luo said: "There is no point in saying what you say. Your brother An is fine. Even though my boy doesn't talk much, he's grumpy. If someone else made trouble, he would definitely not stand it." ."
Qin The old man said: "Sanlang is here, so you don't have to worry."
Sanlang's skills are better than Erlang's. If something were to happen, it was very easy to protect Father Luo and Gu Jin'an.
Knowing Qin Sanlang's ability, Gu Dashan felt relieved, supporting the third grandfather with Luo's father, and a few adults ran towards the city gate at a faster speed.
After running for half an hour, he reached the gate of the He'an House.
The city gates were already filled with casualties, and three floors inside and out surrounded the city gates, and ears were filled with noisy sounds.
A yamen waitress held a copper gong, and after hitting the gong five times, she shouted out loud: "It is forbidden to crowd, line up, and get food and clothing based on your household registration! Whoever dares not march, whoever dares to make trouble, will be killed!" After I finished speaking
, he hit the gong five more times, repeating what he just said.
But the victims were so hungry that they could not listen to his words at all, they just rushed to the city gate blindly, wanting to get some food quickly.
Fortunately, the government had sent out a large number of guards to patrol the city gates, once it saw the crowd and encouragement, it said, the little banner leader immediately led his soldiers to drag the victims out of the team and beat them up. .
After defeating hundreds of casualties, the order at the city gates finally improved.
There were ten teams lining up at the city gate. Qin Sanlang and the others were in the middle of the sixth team. Seeing the third grandfather and the others coming, Gu Jinan immediately said: "You guys march first, I will bring the third grandfather and the others." Gu
Jinan was smart, he did not call the third grandfather and the others out loud, but brought them secretly to their queue. If they were seen by the patrolling guards, they would drag some adults out and beat them up.
After Gu Jinan brought the adults from the family, he said to the victims who were lined up in front and behind: "Uncle, this is the adult from our family. We were waiting for an adult before. " The victims say so
Some companies lined up, but the queues moved very slowly, moving only a few steps in a quarter of an hour, they came early in the morning, and it was their turn to gather supplies until the afternoon.
In front of the queue there were two tables, in front of one table stood two state servants who were in charge of handing out the victims, the country's servicemen had knives hung from his waist to prevent victims from robbing goods.
Two scribes were sitting at the table.
The scribe glanced at Gu Dashan who was at the front, and said, "Eject your household registration. Those who do not have household registration can leave now."
Gu Dashan hurriedly took out the household registration from the inner pocket of the skirt, opened the household registration paper, and carefully spread it on the table in front of the attendant.
The attendant glanced at the household registration and frowned: "Your household registration is incorrect. Why is there only a piece of paper and no thick skin seal? Could it be that you stole it from someone else on the street?" The tone of the last sentence has changed Some is not good.
Gu Dashan was puzzled by the question, but he remembered what Gu Jinli had told him last night, he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "My master, my mother died early, my mother died early, and my father was married to a second wife, registration papers from two separate rooms. On the way to escape the famine, my stepmother would sell my wife and children, and the village decided with Qi Juren, that is, which divides our house and gives us our household registration letter , so household registration is just a piece of paper, without the thick leather seal Wife."
As he spoke, he took out the divorce papers and post given by Qi Juren, and placed them on the table one by one for the attendant to take a look.
Pointing to the family behind him, he said, "Master, these are the villagers from our Gu family village. They can testify to younger families. "Grandpa
third, Father Luo, Uncle Tian, and Gu Damu all spoke for Gu Dashan.
Gu Dafu also said: "Master, my father is the head of Gu Village, and our family can testify to Dashan that his family's household registration certificate is genuine, not stolen." After the pro-document
and the post of Qi Mansion, he had stopped looking for mistakes and asked for money. The official stamp was imprinted on the post of Qi Mansion, so it was seen that this family met a noble on the way to escape the famine, so it was not easy to find his family's money.
The clerk handed the household registration paper to the colleague next to him: "Write it according to the household registration."
Then he asked Gu Dashan: "Are you willing to go to Jiangnan? Jiangnan is a good place, there is no shortage of food, and it is better than He'an Mansion. If you want In the past, you can sign up and pay ten taels of silver as a deposit, and then we'll arrange a boat to take you there." Gu Dashan is
a little confused, and asked: "My Master, didn't you say that you can't keep going south?"
The officer said: "Disaster victims are not allowed to go south personally, but we are sent there by the government . It's okay, it's allowed by adults."
The adults above had a lot of opinions about the resettlement of these victims, so they wanted to take the opportunity to send some survivors south of the Yangtze River, he said, that would not only reduce the pressure in Jianghuai prefecture, but also take over the opportunity to earn money.
Hearing this, Gu Jin'an smiled and asked the scribe: "My master, how much more money should I pay after boarding the ship? If the money paid is not much, let's go back and talk about it with my family." The clerk saw that they had
going What Jiangnan meant, he continued: "Pay a deposit of ten taels of silver first, and after boarding the boat, everyone will be given two taels of silver according to the head." First pay
deposit ten taels of silver, then give to each person two taels of silver, less than that, some of them cannot afford.
Gu Dashan turned to look at the third grandfather and the others, seeing them shaking their heads, he said to the officer, "My master, we have been fleeing from hunger until now, he said, and we don't have any money for us, so we're not going south."
