Chapter 171: Rebellion
"Big Treasure, Er Ya, San Ya, quickly bow to our benefactors."
That day, Li Xiaojun’s home welcomed a close-knit family group of four!
Seeing that the mother brought her three children was not easy, they decided to help her with some food.
However, after Li Xiaojun’s family took in the mother with three children, soon after, several more groups of begging refugees knocked on their door.
She Shiyun and She Shihan had kind hearts, and at first, they were able to provide food assistance to the refugees.
However, as the news of their charity spread, the number of refugees coming to their home kept increasing.
This situation began to overwhelm Li Xiaojun’s family.
Moreover, not only were Li Xiaojun’s family disturbed, but others in the village, including She Shiyun’s family, also faced harassment from the refugees.
In this situation, the village eventually organized itself and drove all the refugees away.
Because if more refugees gathered in their village, who knew what would happen next?
Currently, the farmers in Xiaowan Village made up the majority, and if the number of refugees exceeded theirs, a little incitement could lead to looting of the villagers.
So, rather than allow the future to become uncontrollable, it was better to expel the refugees now to avoid future troubles.
Besides, providing aid to refugees should be the responsibility of the court, not the duty of these ordinary villagers.
Faced with so many refugees, if the court did not provide help, how much could ordinary villagers help?
After the villagers of Xiaowan Village united and drove all the refugees out of the village,
soon, all the refugees moved to other villages!
However, like Xiaowan Village, the other villages also rejected the incoming refugees.
In the end, the refugees could only gather outside the county city.
As time passed, the number of refugees outside the city kept increasing.
With so many refugees accumulating near the county city, the county magistrate had long ordered the city gates to be closed, forbidding any refugees from entering!
The county magistrate just ordered the gates closed but did not order food assistance.
Thus, as the number of refugees outside the city grew, many of them were left without food, and some were forced to resort to eating the flesh of the dead, and even exchange children for food.
Amidst such a brutal situation,
one day, a young man rose up with a group of young people.
They began to conspire with all the refugees to attack the county city.
As long as they breached the city, they could access the grain warehouse inside, and then they would be able to eat.
However, while the idea was good, it was unrealistic.
Although many refugees were incited, it was only a small portion.
A group of young people gathered several hundred people to attack the city, only to be shot down by dozens of archers on the city walls.
In light of this situation, the leading young man decided to set their sights on the landowners’ homes outside the city.
They first needed to survive before they could unite more refugees to attack the county office.
Sure enough, after the leading young man focused on the landowners’ homes outside the city, things went smoothly.
The next day, a group of young refugees breached the defenses of a nearby landowner’s courtyard.
As a result, this landowner’s grain warehouse was looted by the young refugees.
Fortunately, these young refugees only robbed food and did not harm anyone.
With the food they managed to steal, more refugees quickly joined their ranks.
As their numbers grew, they plundered an increasing number of landowners’ homes outside the city.
Half a month later, the armed group of refugees led by the young man had grown to over two thousand people.
In such a situation,
the day came when the armed group of over two thousand refugees arrived at Xiaowan Village and quickly surrounded the She family.
They had already learned that the She family was the largest landowner in Xiaowan Village and the surrounding villages.
