Chapter 46 -46: City Lockdown

The Qiu family, both father and son, were terrified by Bai Junjun’s fierce appearance, not to mention the woman threatened by the sharp arrow feathers.

The woman, who had just refused to communicate, suddenly fell silent and looked at her trembling.

“Don’t hurt me, I’ll talk, I’ll say anything.”

Bai Junjun did not let her guard down, and still looked at her coldly, “Why are you here? Aren’t the refugees not allowed to enter Xuanwei Seven Cities?”

“Now… the city gates have opened.”

The woman responded tremblingly, “A few days ago, the city was in chaos. Many of the locals fled. They left to save their lives, we entered to save ours.”

“What do you mean?”

“They didn’t want to be conscripted so they fled outside the city, as for us, not to mention conscription, we would do anything just for a meal.”

“However, the first group of refugees that came in took the food and ran away, leaving only the elderly and women. The Government Officials took away the men. They didn’t expel us but also didn’t care if we lived or died, so we had no choice but to find unowned houses to live in.”

“Even so, why didn’t you stay in the city instead of coming here?”

“The empty houses in the city were packed, we, the sick and weak, could only squeeze into corners. Later, someone discovered this vacant Hunter Village, and… well, everyone moved here.”

Most of those who came here were weak, even on the verge of the grave.

Thus, when they suddenly saw strong men arrive, they were all startled.

“What’s the situation in the city now?”

“Now they’ve sealed… sealed off the city again, no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission.”

“Can people still move around freely in the city?”

The woman bit her lip and nodded slightly, “The Government Officials are watching, ordinary refugees don’t dare to cause trouble, the city still barely maintains the order of the past.”

It was then that Bai Junjun finally let go of the woman.

The woman wasted no time, clearly frail yet the moment Bai Junjun released her, she burst with strength and slipped away like an eel, hiding in the back alleys.

Those who had hidden in the house before her had been secretly observing this group of uninvited guests.

Seeing the robust Qiu Da, everyone shrank back in fear, but upon seeing the fungi and wild vegetables on the cart, they couldn’t help but salivate.

Over the years, from the south to the Northern Lands, those who moved quickly could still plunder the crops along the way, those who were slow could only forage for wild vegetables, and those at the very end of the group couldn’t even find wild vegetables, resorting to eating wild grass and tree bark.

In the Northern Lands, they couldn’t enter the cities, constantly staying outdoors in the wilderness, the surrounding woods were stripped bare, they hadn’t seen the kinds of mushrooms on the cart for a long time.

But making a move to take the items was absolutely impossible, after all, they were all old, weak, women, and children, and the other side had four strong men.

Moreover, they were all carrying firewood knives and arrow feathers, clearly not easy to provoke.

However, once they left, it might be possible to go to the place they came from to see if there were any more mushrooms.

Old Uncle Qiu and his family didn’t bother with these covertly prying eyes, after inquiring about the situation, they retreated back into the forest.

Although this was their home, now was not the time to stay with these starving people.

It was better to avoid them than to be constantly on guard, especially since they had learned all the information they wanted.

“It seems the County Magistrate has tacitly allowed the refugees into the city to compensate for the emptied city.”

“That sealing of the city gates was to…”

“Prevent them from fleeing again.”

After all, Xuanwei only has seven major cities, and a city emptied before the conflict began wouldn’t have pleased the Fifth Prince.
