Ah! The man sighed, talking about how their village was hit by a flood, with most neighbors and family members dead or injured. Those who survived luckily wanted to seek a way out into the town, but had no idea it had already been ransacked by bandits.
They could only return to the village, but sadly, the little food they had was almost finished.
They had no choice but to set out for the county city to make a living, but halfway through, all their food was taken by refugees, leaving them truly at a dead end.
Listening to this group's self-narration, everyone sighed deeply. Times are tough, and everyone's plight is pitiful!
Sharing the same misfortune, the people quickly found common ground and topics, and soon the two sides started chatting openly.
The village chief stepped forward, inquired about news from Yu County, and then distributed some coarse grains to them, letting them cook it themselves.
