General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 1197 The Ghost (1)

The refugees were so hungry that they were gnawing on tree bark and grass. They didn't care about the skin and just ate the steamed sweet potatoes directly. The sweet potatoes had a sweet taste and although the potatoes had no taste, their mouths, which had been bland for a long time, could taste a hint of saltiness.

With their mouths full, nothing can calm their hearts better than having a meal.

"Woo, I can finally have something hot to eat!"

"Mom, this is so sweet and delicious!"

“It’s delicious. Really delicious. So delicious.”

"This thing may be tasteless, but if you add a little salt it will definitely be more flavorful."

"What kind of food is this? I ate one and I actually felt full..."

The refugees tasted the delicious food one by one. No matter what it was called, as long as it could fill their stomachs, they would do anything.

Everyone held the food in their hands with gratitude, especially the mothers with their children, who could not stop crying. One sweet potato could make them half full, and they could feel the food entering their stomachs, which made all the refugees who got to eat the food burst into tears of gratitude.

Suddenly, a discordant sound sounded.

"Damn, what is this? It's so disgusting and has no taste at all." A man threw the food in his hand to the ground, trying to stir up trouble.

However, the man’s words did not cause much commotion among the refugees. Some of them even picked up the potatoes that the man threw away and ran away as if they had found a treasure.

"Don't be fooled by Heyang City. This stuff is for animals to eat. We should eat better! We want something flavorful!" Seeing that his accomplice did not attract everyone's attention, another man stood up and spoke out.

"Do you want to eat it?" The refugee next to the man looked at the man and asked, pointing at the food in his hand.

"What's so delicious about this? Don't be fooled by this little thing!" the man advised, but the refugee didn't listen at all. He just wanted to eat his fill. Seeing that the man didn't eat, he grabbed the food and gobbled it up. He almost choked himself to death but he was unwilling to spit it out.

It was a Bai Family disciple who saw that he was having trouble breathing and brought him some water, which allowed the refugee to swallow it. He felt like he was alive again and knelt before the Bai Family disciple. "Thank you, sir."

The people arranged by the prime minister secretly brought food along the way and were not hungry at all. They came to Heyang City intending to stir up trouble, but how could the refugees, who were already starving to the point of eating the ground, throw away the food in their hands just because of a few words from them? They knew better than anyone how precious food was.

"Sir, these people are not refugees, they must have been sent to cause trouble!" The refugee knelt in front of the Bai family disciples, pointing at the man who had just instigated them and complained to the Bai family disciples. "They were not hungry at all along the way, and they kept saying in front of us that Heyang City would give us housing and food, but their hands were very clean..."

The refugees had already made their own judgment as to whether they were their own people or not. They were civilians, but they were not stupid and would not riot at the instigation of others.

What's more, Heyang City had prepared food for them as soon as they arrived. It was obvious that they had made preparations in advance and it was not sudden. It meant that they had been arranged for a long time ago. Everyone could feel from their attitude that they were really willing to accept them, provided that they were obedient and did not cause trouble.

"Who else?" The Bai family disciple nodded and went to the door to get two more potatoes for the refugees who reported the incident.
