Chapter 372 Muhe witnesses (3)

As time goes by, more and more people gathered in front of the county gate, and the cold weather has not stopped the people from urgently feeling.

"So many people have come, it seems that the news is true, it's great!"

"There are saved, there are saved, and finally there are saved. Heaven opens its eyes!"

"Wuwuwu... Dad, mom, if I had known that the Tang Dynasty was so kind to the people, even if I had broken my legs, I would have taken you to the east to the Tang Dynasty!"

"It's indeed the country of the Celestial Empire. It's really a blessing for the people of Kuz!"

"I originally thought it would be no different for who would be the emperor. Now it seems that the Tang Dynasty is better. If this were in the past, the government would not care about the life and death of us."

"What I said is that in the past, I always heard those merchants brag about how good the Central Plains are, but now it seems that they are not lying!"

...

At first, everyone might still be a little suspicious of the news they received, but as the number of people gathered continued to increase, everything in everyone's hearts also disappeared bit by bit.

It may be just a joke if one person hears it, and it may be a rumor if two people hear it, but three people, three hundred people, or even three thousand people, can it be fake news?

Amid the expectation and anxiety of everyone, someone from the county government finally came out. What surprised and excited them was that the county magistrates who came out did not deny the news that the government distributed food to the people.

According to the county magistrate, he has not received an order from his superior yet, but he will send someone to verify the news as soon as possible so that everyone can wait at home with peace of mind. The government will not let the people ignore it... Isn't this equivalent to admitting the news?

So the people gathered in front of the county government returned home with anticipation smiles and told the big surprise to their families. The whole city was in joy because of this news. Even though the outdoors were frost, it still could not stop the excited people from rushing around and telling each other, and also restored some vitality to this city that was silent due to natural disasters...

Mu He also ran home with excitement on his face. As soon as he entered the house, Gao Sheng shouted, "Madam, good news, good news!"

Wu was sewing clothes for the child. When he saw Mu He who was full of excitement, he stood up and poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, and said in a warm voice: "Look, I'll be happy, drink a sip of water first...what good news?"

"Gulu...Gulu...Hu...Madam, you guessed it right, the government, the government really wants to give us food!" Mu He said excitedly.

Wu also said happily: "That's good, that's good..."

...

In the next few days, Mu He would go to the county government every day to squat in order to know when the government will start to distribute grain and be able to receive the grain as soon as possible!

However, as time passed day by day, the government was not moving at all. Seeing that the surplus grain at home could only barely hold on for two or three days, Mu He became anxious again.

Not only him, as time goes by, the number of people waiting in front of the county government every day has increased. The expressions of expectation and excitement on everyone's faces have long disappeared, replaced by nervousness and anxiety!

"Gobaer, have you asked the shopkeeper Liu when will the government start distributing food?"

In front of the county government, Muhe met Gobaer again and asked him with an anxious face.

Gobaer spread his hands and said, "I want to ask, but Manager Liu didn't know where he went. Since he met last time, he has never seen anyone else!"

"Then...then...you know a lot of people, please help me inquire..."

"If I had been before, I could ask someone to inquire, but now the sky in Kucha has changed. I don't know any of these officials. Who should I ask for?"

Gobaer's answer made Mu He feel more anxious, and he couldn't wait any longer!

"What should I do? The surplus grain at home is only enough for three days. If the government does not distribute food... no, I have to go and ask!"

Seeing Muhe rushing towards the county gate, Gobaer grabbed him and said, "Hey, wait! Why are you going? That's the government office, are you desperate?"

But Mu He said firmly, "I have to ask clearly when will the food be distributed? I promised it well before, but after so long, there was no movement at all!"

Seeing Muhe's firm attitude, Gobaer hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Listen to me first. Although I didn't find out when the government will send food, I heard a message recently, but I just don't know whether it is true or false!"

"What news?"

"I also heard that the government had decided to use the food reserves in Yizhou to provide disaster relief, but the prince of the Tang Dynasty rejected this matter and said that the people of the Western Regions were not the people of the Tang Dynasty, and their life and death had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty! There was no need to use the food of the Tang Dynasty to help the people of the Western Regions..." Gobaer's originally lowered his voice a little lowered a little, and he leaned into Mu He's ear and said, while not forgetting to pay attention to the crowd around him at any time.

"What? You, where did you get the news?" Mu He exclaimed.

Gobaer hurriedly covered the other party's mouth, "Word it low... If the government officials hear it, we must explain our lives!"

"If the government does not send food, my whole family will starve to death. Why do I still have this rotten life? Tell me quickly, where did you get the news from? Is it true?"

"Don't ask the source of the news... As for the authenticity... Look at the government's recent reaction, I feel that it is almost the same. Otherwise, the county magistrate had agreed to send food last time, so why didn't he see the following? "

Mu He didn't say anything anymore, just stood there blankly, looking at the county gate with a dull look, his mind was blank.

When a person is most desperate, it is not the time when he completely loses his disappointment, but when he sees completely lose hope, someone brings a light of dawn, allowing hope to reappear, but in the end he discovers that the dawn is just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, just a false lie... This is the most desperate moment for people!

Mu He was like this at this time. He originally thought that God had opened a window for him, but who would have thought that when he tried to climb to the window, he found that the so-called window was just a painting painted on the wall...

When people are desperate, they are often the most difficult time to control their emotions. The news that Gobaer said soon came as the spread of those who are interested.

After the initial silence of the people, the desperate emotions of despair were completely transformed into a strong sense of anger, and this anger was slightly guided to the government and the Tang Dynasty!

As a result, thousands of people gathered in front of the county gate again, and the Muhe family was among the crowd!

Yes, Mu He not only came by himself, but also brought his wife Wu and two children!
