The old man had only run for less than ten zhang before he felt that Shangguan Qianyu had chased after him, and he knew that he couldn't run away, so he immediately turned around and knelt down with a plop at Shangguan Qianyu.

Shangguan Qianyu said: "Old man, what are you doing here?"

The old man said: "This little brother, the old man didn't mean to see you, please let the old man go, my old life, killing it will dirty your hands!"

Shangguan Qianyu couldn't cry or laugh, how could he do anything to an innocent old man? He stretched out his hand to help him and said, "Old man, please get up!"

The old man looked at Shangguan Qianyu suspiciously, stood up under his strength, and felt a sense of confusion: "You're not here to kill me?"

Shangguan Qianyu said: "Why should I kill you? I was just passing by here. ”

The old man glanced at Shangguan Qianyu and said vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Shangguan Qianyu said: "I'm just a passerby!"

Although the old man was old and quite shrewd, he said suspiciously: "I don't think the little brother is like a local!"

Shangguan Qianyu said casually: "I am from Jinchang County, our hometown suffered a disaster, and I came here to join relatives, but I didn't expect it to be worse here than ours!"

"Did you find your relatives?"

Shangguan Qianyu shook his head and said, "Go, people go to the empty house, and I don't know where to go!"

He said it casually, because he saw a lot of empty portals along the way, and he didn't know if the family had fled or for some other reason.

But as soon as he replied casually, the old man immediately asked, "Are your relatives young people?"

Shangguan Qianyu saw that he was asking eagerly, and knew something was wrong, and said, "Well, it's my cousin and sister-in-law, who are strong. ”

There is also a reason for this answer, he has seen very few young people along the way, and most of those who have hurriedly closed the door are old people and children.

A trace of grief and indignation appeared on the old man's face, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "These brutes, these brutes, they are really unconscionable!"

Shangguan Qianyu said in surprise: "Old man, who are you scolding? Why do you say that?"

The old man grabbed Shangguan Qianyu and said with a sad and sympathetic face: "Your cousin and sister-in-law must have been arrested to repair the palace." ”

Shangguan Qianyu said: "Palace?" "The palace is not something that anyone can repair, even if the prince who is released wants to repair the palace, he has to hand over a fold to the capital, but he has not received any news at all.

The old man looked left and right, and sighed: "This is not the place to speak, little brother, you better hurry out of the city, you are such a strong young man, it is too dangerous in the city." I see that you are not badly dressed, and you must have some silver in your hand when you can enter the city, but here, silver is not good. ”

As he spoke, he didn't seem to want to say more, so he immediately walked forward, this was to avoid Shangguan Qianyu and go back to his residence.

Shangguan Qianyu followed a few steps and said: "Old man, I just arrived here, I am not familiar with the place, when I entered the city, I also paid a tael of silver to enter the city, this person was not found, and I have to leave, I have nowhere to go!"

The old man glanced at Shangguan Qianyu a few times, saw him sincere, sighed, and said: "What you said is also true, originally in those inns and restaurants, there was also a good business, but with the famine, this world will be chaotic, the officials will force the people to rebel, natural disasters eat people, officials also eat people, the people have no way to live, even if you can live in, you can't save your life." ”
