The yellow-faced man sneered, "Ergou, why are you telling them all this? Those rich people have clothes to wear, meat to eat. Our problems, they don't know, and won't want to know, why would they care whether others live or die? If they die, they die, why all the nonsense?"
Although these people were lying on the ground, after hearing the words of the yellow-faced man, they looked at Xia Wenjin and Gu Heng with eyes full of resentment.
Xia Wenjin said, "I know that Shanluo County has suffered badly from the disaster, and you have escaped because you had no other choice. But now the Court has dispatched an imperial envoy for disaster relief, soon things will change!"
The yellow-faced man spat and said, "If it weren't for the Court's corrupt officials, would we be in such a miserable situation?"
Many said, "If we could survive, would we need to flee out here?"
"Easy to talk when you're not suffering; change things? If things could change, would so many people be dead?"
