All the way to the north, the more north, the greater the change of scenery along the way, a few days ago it was still early summer, the branches were luxuriant, full of greenery, and so on into the Xingdi boundary, the green gradually became less. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were fewer and fewer trees, and at first they could see greenery, but later, even the bark was not visible, and all the edible rhizomes on the ground were dug up.

Originally, Di Xin was still in the mood to joke with Tao Bao and enjoy the mountains and rivers, but when he stepped into Xingdi, the smile on his face became lighter and lighter, no matter how greedy he was for enjoyment, when he saw that the people of his country were living in such a miserable state, his heart still rose with compassion.

Along the road, the loess is basically dry and cracked, the water in the river has long since dried up, and the bare riverbed is full of cracks.

Not to mention the local people, even Tao Bao and his party drinking water has become a big problem.

However, with Tao Bao, there will be no shortage of water if there is anything missing.

Recently, Huang Feihu found a very strange problem, the water in the water bladder seemed to be inexhaustible, and told the king about the strange thing, but the king just gave him a squint that did not fluctuate, so that he didn't dare to ask again.

But even so, he still found a clue, every morning, Concubine Su is always the first to drink water, and the natural water bladder is also the first one she takes, it is nothing, but there is not much water bladder left every time, after Concubine Su drinks it, there is always a big pot left, which is strange.

Another point, there is a great drought in Xingdi, and several of their guards, including the king, always show fatigue on their faces, but Concubine Su, who gets off the carriage from time to time and walks away, is not tired at all, and even in good spirits.

Moreover, he didn't find out what skin care products Concubine Su used, which made it even more suspicious.

However, Tao Bao was not afraid of him at all, and found out when he found out, anyway, she didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask, so it would be convenient to get some preventive shots now.

In this way, when Huang Feihu observed Tao Bao on a daily basis and observed that Di Xin was going crazy, they finally officially entered Xingdi's territory.

Today's people are not like modern people, who go to other places to survive in the face of great droughts and floods, and they are more reluctant to their homeland and more superstitious than modern people.

Xingdi City Xingcheng Gate, just arrived here, along the road are praying people, holding incense candles or wooden sticks, on both sides of the road to worship, shouting something, Tao Bao can't hear clearly, but also guessed that it is begging for rain.

There are immortals in this world, and it stands to reason that they should be very positive about accumulating merit, but on the contrary, no one comes to rain, and they just don't know whether to use this as a raft to add guilt to Di Xin, or to leave this merit to someone else.

The carriage had long been abandoned, in order not to be abrupt, Huang Feihu was dressed as beggars, and Di Xin was the same, Tao Bao also changed into coarse cloth clothes, and his face was also plastered, she walked in front of Di Xin, and Huang Feihu fell behind.

There are old and young people on the road, the old ones have sallow faces, ragged clothes, and the small ones are also too thin because they can't eat enough.

They snuggled in the arms of their loved ones, their big heads hanging on their thin necks, looking terrible, as if they could be broken at any time, and their big eyes were full of sluggishness, and they were dead and gray inside.

Blood appeared on his chapped lips, and the child hurried to lick it clean as if he had eaten a delicious meal, but he was really thirsty, and if he continued to boil it, he was afraid that he would even drink the blood.

Seeing Tao Bao and a few people coming, Qi Qi looked over, and saw that they were no better than themselves, so they withdrew their gaze.

But at this moment, Huang Feihu's hand that had originally planned to take out the food was suddenly eaten, there were too many people, and the food was not enough, and there must be a big chaos at that time.

He silently withdrew his hand from his arms, fortunately Tao Bao had already instructed him in advance to wrap the food in leaves, otherwise this in and out, the fragrance would come out, and the scene would be unimaginable.

A few people walked silently to the city, and when they walked to the door, the soldiers guarding the city were also bad, but their faces were much better than those people, although their lips were dry, but they were not so terrible as cracking, obviously, these soldiers still had water from time to time.

When they saw Tao Bao and the others walking in, they looked completely ignorant, but when Tao Bao and the others were about to enter the city, they raised their spears and swept their eyes sharply over the people, and the vigilance in their eyes was very strong.

When did Di Xin feel this kind of treatment? At that moment, his eyes widened, and he wanted to scold, Tao Bao hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Husband, don't forget who we are now, we have to come secretly, let's bear with it first."

When Di Xin heard this, his face softened a little, but fortunately, his face was also covered with ash by Tao Bao, and the two guards didn't notice anything unusual.

Now that the water source is dry, the two soldiers didn't even bother to speak, and seeing that Di Xin and the others still hadn't left, the spear was sent forward by two inches, which frightened Huang Feihu's heart and liver.

Just when Huang Feihu thought that the king would definitely order him to come forward and teach these two soldiers a lesson, he didn't expect that Di Xin actually walked back hand in arm with Tao Bao.

Seeing that the people were scared away, the two soldiers snorted coldly and continued to lean on the city gate to look at the refugees outside.

Tao Bao took the angry Di Xin to the foot of the city wall, chose a place among the refugees that no one occupied, and sat down directly.

Seeing her like this, Di Xin actually sat down, only to see that Huang Feihu and the others were about to stare out of the frame.

And that's not all, but what made them even more incredible was that Di Xin actually started talking to the refugees next to him, something that had never happened before.

Huang Feihu and the four guards looked at each other, and they all saw surprise in the eyes of the other party.

The five of them sat down next to Di Xin and listened to the conversation between Di Xin and the refugees.

"Uncle, I heard that the king has ordered someone to send food to relief, why are you still like this? Also, why are you not allowed in the city? Di Xin looked at the dying old man beside him and asked.

The old man leaned against the city wall, first glanced at the hot sun in the sky, and then turned his head to look at Di Xin, and after a while, just when Di Xin thought he was going to die, he asked weakly:

"You are coming from the south, from the south?"

Di Xin nodded, and the old man continued: "How can that little food be enough, many of us, one person will share half a bowl, and the rest, all the nobles in the city will go." Now there is only one spring and water left in the city in the whole Xingdi, there are so many people every day, the spring water is just like that, in order to save their lives, the nobles in the city naturally do not allow everyone to enter the city to share. ”

"Hehehe, did you hear that there is still water here, so you came here?" He asked, seeing Di Xin's blank face, he laughed at himself, and said:

"There's no water, you can't go into the city, there's nothing...... Now that I'm weak, it's hard to find a way to survive......"
