Chapter 265: There is hunger on the road

After sending Yang Zhi away, the journey was smooth, and there were not many forks, but along the way, I also saw too many affected people starving to death or gasping on the side of the road.

This made Yang Chun feel very bad, it stands to reason that Tang Yunzhao has already brought a large amount of supplies to Huainan for disaster relief, although it will not allow everyone to return to the previous state, but it will not be so hungry that he will gnaw on the bark of a tree to eat.

Ye Ruiqin has been accompanying Yang Chun, and when he saw Yang Chun's hard-working and hard-working journey overnight, he didn't complain at all, and he admired it in his heart, even he felt a little tired after driving for so many days as a man, but he didn't expect Yang Chun to persevere.

Is this sure that these are those delicate eldest ladies in the capital? This made Ye Ruiqin even more curious about Yang Chun, and he was also a little envious of Tang Yunzhao in his heart, and even thought that only such a woman was worthy of Tang Yunzhao.

At this moment, Yang Chun didn't know that he had thought about so many things in his heart, and when he arrived at another starving person on the side of the road, his hands were still crawling forward, and he seemed to be very unwilling.

This scene completely stung Yang Chun's eyes, so he asked Xiaohe to inquire about the situation, and after a while, Xiaohe brought a homeless person over.

When he saw the homeless people, Yang Chun was gnawing on the dry food in his hand, to be honest, he didn't taste at all, he could only barely satisfy his hunger, but Yang Chun didn't dislike it, after all, they were in too much hurry this way, and they didn't have time to cook together.

The man saw the dry food in Yang Chun's hand, and hurriedly swallowed a few saliva, and Yang Chun couldn't bear it, so he asked Xiaohe to take two pieces of dry food from the pocket on the side.

"Is this for me?" the man asked, a little surprised.

Yang Chun nodded, and Xiaohe also put the dry food in front of him.

I saw that the man hurriedly picked it up and devoured it, which was in stark contrast to Yang Chun.

After all, this dry food was too dry, and the man ate a little urgently, and almost choked directly, Xiaohe hurriedly ran over to give him relief, and poured some water for him.

Two pieces of dry food were in his stomach, and the man seemed to lick his lips a little unsatisfied, and then he came back to his senses and looked at Yang Chun.

"You haven't eaten for a long time?" Yang Chun asked a little confused.

Hearing Lord Yang Chun's question, the man hurriedly nodded: "Since the waterlogging happened, the only bit of food at home has been eaten by us, I haven't eaten the food for a few days, and there are still some grass roots and bark to satisfy hunger a few days ago, and it has become more and more difficult to find in the past two days." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiaohe was surprised, and even more looked at this skinny skinny person, and felt very distressed.

"How can this be? Your prefect doesn't care about you? Didn't you hear that there are already people who have come to provide disaster relief?" Xiaohe hurriedly asked.

Just two simple sentences made the man's eyes completely red, "How can there be any disaster relief materials? Our family was forced to escape from Huainan, and we have never heard of the distribution of disaster relief materials, and now my family is starving to death, and I am the only one left, and I don't know how many days I can last." ”

Yang Chun frowned and listened to what he said, thinking in his heart about what went wrong, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this.

"Didn't the prince come to Huainan with disaster relief materials a few days ago? You didn't receive anything?" Yang Chun continued to ask.

"Don't say this again, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came with those large quantities of supplies, all of us thought we saw hope, but what happened? I've been waiting for many days, and I haven't heard of any distribution of supplies, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, and those supplies are in our pockets after all!"

At the mention of this, the man was even more angry, and now they were about to live to the point of cannibalism, and those officials only cared about their own pleasure, and did not care about their lives or deaths.

They thought they had seen hope, but in the end it was just empty joy, how could they not feel disappointed?

"None of these officials are good people, including those in the court, they are all a group of hypocritical people, who keep saying that they think about the common people in the world, but in the end they do things that disregard people's lives. The man couldn't help but curse.

"Hey, why are you like this? Do you know who this person is standing in front of you? We just gave you dry food to eat. Xiaohe was suddenly unhappy, she always felt that Yang Chun was also scolded, which made her very unhappy.

Yang Chun hurriedly patted Xiaohe and motioned for her to stop talking, it was not a wise thing to show her identity now.

Only then did the man calm down and look at Yang Chun, looking at the brocade clothes on Yang Chun's body, and suddenly realized that her identity was not simple and became vigilant.

"Who are you? Don't you want to take advantage of the flood in Huainan to make a fortune?"

Yang Chun hurriedly smiled and said: "I am a person from Huainan, I went to the capital to visit relatives a few days ago, and stayed for a few more days, but now I heard that there was a waterlogging in my hometown, and I really can't rest assured that the people at home are at ease, so I hurried back with the maid." ”

I heard that it was a Huainan person, and the man let go of Yang Chun, after all, they were all fellow villagers who suffered.

"It's not that I said, at this time, you'd better not go back, look at you like this, you should also be a rich lady in the family, there should be no accident at home, but now it's too chaotic outside, and it's inconvenient for you to walk outside a girl's house, so it's better to go to the capital to avoid the limelight." ”

Now they, the common people, can't force Huainan and can't wait to escape immediately, so there will be no one like Yang Chun who wants to go back temporarily.

Regarding the man's simple words, Yang Chun smiled and said: "Thank you, eldest brother, it's just that I have been away from home for too long, I really miss my family, I still have some broken silver and dry food that I carry with me, and I will give it to you when we are almost home!"

Yang Chun said and asked Xiaohe to take some silver and dry food from the bag and give it to the man.

It's just that the man just took the dry food, but he didn't even look at the silver, which made Yang Chun even more puzzled, what she gave was two taels of silver, which was already a month's expenses for ordinary people, this man was obviously very poor, how could he treat money as dung?

"Why don't you want money?"

Looking at Yang Chun's confused gaze, the man spoke again, "I know that you are a good person, if you gave me two taels of silver in the past, I don't know what it looks like to be happy now, but in the event of a flood and a man-made disaster, now two taels of silver can no longer buy anything, and even the rice has risen to four taels, and it is still sold in batches." ”

Yang Chun couldn't help but be stunned by these words, although the price of this capital is expensive, but the price of this rice is only 20 yuan, but he didn't expect to run to Huainan, and it will directly increase hundreds of times in the future.

This is not a good thing, some people take advantage of this time to get rich, which makes Yang Chun feel very angry.

"Xiaohe, give him some more dry food. Yang Chun sighed and said.
