The war made these people take out their roots and go on a journey. While getting away from disaster, the people abandoned their houses with property earned, barns, full of grain, yards with flowers, and betook themselves to new places, getting round numerous blockposts. The people carried their children, elderly parents, cats, and dogs, and the rest they left for the enemy looting. The people possessed houses and homes, and now they have nothing but what they can carry.
