As soon as Song Xuan was about to say something, he heard a voice next to him: "Second brother, why are you here?"

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Song Mi who came over from the study.

Young Lady Song hurriedly walked over: "Husband, we just heard-"

"Don't hear anything!" Song Mi interrupted his wife's words with a straight face: "You forgot what your father said, don't ask and think too much, this is not what you should ask and think." ”

The young lady was robbed by him for a while, so she could only bow her head softly.

Song Mi walked up to Song Xuan with his hands behind his back and said, "Why did you come here? Didn't Dad let you go to the study?

Song Xuan hurriedly said, "Brother, it's none of their business. As soon as I heard that something was wrong, I hurried here to run here, only remembering that you were all here to listen to the play, but I didn't pay attention to them saying that my father was waiting for me in the study. Let's go, let's not delay, hurry over and don't let Dad wait any longer. ”

Hearing him say this, Song Mi didn't have another seizure, and arched his hand at me very politely, and then the two brothers turned around and left together.

I stood where I was, speechless for a while, and the young lady sorted out her emotions, and then walked over with a smile.

"Miss Yan, I'll accompany you back to rest. ”

"Hey. ”

She sent me back to the room, and originally wanted to stay with me for a while, but seeing that I was not very good, and looked like I was sleeping, she told the maids to wait outside and not to make noise with me, and then turned to leave.

I lay on the bed, heard the door shut, and slowly opened my eyes.

That sentence kept echoing in my head, and it seemed to have become a little deafening at this time.

People began to die in Cangzhou City.

And what Song Xuan said just now made me even more stunned - I thought that they should have used some methods, epidemics, poisoning, and even some more cruel methods, these were all in my mind, but Song Xuan said that they had never done anything, and the Cui family had not done anything.

According to my observation in the past few days, the Song family has indeed not sent a single soldier to make any moves, and Cangzhou City is as quiet as a dead city.

Since nothing was done, how could Cangzhou City start a large number of dead people?

If it is because of the lack of food in the siege, people starved to death, then it has been besieged for so long, such a situation should have occurred a long time ago, why has it not appeared until now?

What is wrong with this?

My breath was short, my heart was beating violently, and I couldn't lie down on the 'bed' at this time, so I got up and walked around the room, listening to the sounds outside, except for a few little maids whispering their own whispers outside, there was no sound.

I stayed in the room anxiously, walked a few steps to the 'door', and opened the 'door'.

The chilly wind outside immediately blew on the face.

And the maids who were guarding outside hurriedly surrounded them and said cautiously, "Miss Yan, do you have any orders?"

"Miss Yan, do you want to eat? Let's go prepare it for Miss Yan. ”

"Are you calling a doctor, Miss Yan?"

“……”

I looked at them in a daze, and suddenly, a light flashed in my head.

When a few maids saw that I didn't say a word, they just watched them distracted, and they didn't know what was going on, so they all looked at me carefully.

One of them said softly, "Miss Yan......?"

"It's fine. ”

After I said these two words briefly, I took a step back and closed the 'door' again.

My hands were still on the frame of the 'door', and I heard the little girls outside looking at each other in surprise, whispering "What's going on", although the earth dragon in the room was burning very hot, but the cold wind just now blew my brain calm.

Song Xuan made it very clear just now that their Song family has not taken any action in the past few days, and the Cui family has not done anything, that is to say, the people in the city did not die because of epidemics, poisoning or anything, but from the current "normal" reasons.

Starved to death!

Before, when the city was besieged and attacked, there was no dead man in the city.

Now the siege is not besieged, but the dead are beginning to die in the city.

That is, the key to the dead is not the siege, but - the attack.

But it was not because of the siege that people died, but because of the siege, no one in the city was starved to death.

That is to say - if you attack the city, you will not starve to death!

Could it be ......

In the next two days, Song Huaiyi and the others still didn't do anything, but since that day, the father and son talked in the study until late, and they rarely accompanied us in the garden to watch the play and have fun;

However, the news from outside has not stopped coming in.

In Cangzhou City, there have been dead people.

Even at noon on the fourth day, I stood in the corridor of the small building and saw from a distance a pillar of black smoke rising from the city of Cangzhou under the cloudy sky.

After experiencing the relief of the victims in Yangzhou City, I knew very well that it was burning corpses.

Even if I had heard so many reports before, I was awakened by the tragic situation that came to me every quiet night when I closed my eyes, but no imagination or words could be more amazing than the scene that appeared in front of me at this moment.

The smoke was billowing out, and from a distance, it looked like a black dragon rushing into the sky, and it was constantly churning in the air, as if there were countless unjust souls wrapped in the smoke and dust, struggling and roaring.

They are complaining.

There is no death more painful than starvation, and there is more sorrow for people to be born.

Seeing me standing in the corridor, looking at the dark smoke, with a heavy expression on his face, Xie Feng slowly walked to my side and said softly, "Miss Yan, let's go back to the house and rest." ”

I turned my head to look at him.

He said: "There are some things that Miss Yan can't change alone. Since you can't change it and you can't accept it, it's better to see 'sex' than to see it. ”

"Can't see 'sex'?" I smiled bitterly, and then looked at the black smoke that rushed into the sky: "Can you not see it?"

“……”

"Mr. Xie," I didn't look at him, but continued to stare at the tragic situation over Cangzhou City, and said slowly: "I don't know what grievances and hatred you came to his side and did these things for him. But—"

"But what?"

I raised my hand and pointed to the black smoke: "How many of them do you say are there, grievances and hatreds?"

"......" this time, he was silent for a long time, and the black 'colored' smoke and dust seemed to be stained into his eyes, covering up the original clarity and aura, and after a long time, he slowly said: "People live from generation to generation." ”

“……”

I was stunned by what he said.

After a while, he smiled faintly: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he turned around a little weakly and turned around and walked away, and when he saw that I was going down, he hurriedly followed: "Where is Miss Yan going?"

"I feel uncomfortable and want to meet Mrs. Zhang. ”

"Mrs. Zhang is sick. ”

"What?"

I was stunned and looked back at him.

"I've been sick for two days," he said. ”

Been sick for two days?

In the past two days, I have been worrying about the dead people in Cangzhou City, and I have also 'spent' too much thought about the problems, and I have not had any 'dealings' with other people in the Song family;

It's so undeserved!

I hurriedly said, "I'll go and have a look." ”

He saw that he couldn't stop me, and he couldn't stop it, so he followed me all the way to the garden of Mrs. Zhang, and after a while he arrived at the 'door', and sure enough, he saw that there were still a few personal servants 'serving' Song Huaiyi and their 'attendants', and when they saw me coming, they hurriedly attached themselves and saluted.

I asked, "How is Mrs. Zhang?"

One of the 'attendants' whispered: "The ancestor is a little better today, but people are still confused. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Song Huaiyi's voice coming from inside: "Who is it?"

I glanced at the 'attendant', he nodded, hurriedly went in to reply, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, Song Huaiyi walked out of it, saw me standing at the bottom of the steps, and hurriedly greeted me: "Miss Yan." ”

I asked with concern, "How is the old lady?"

"Let Miss Yan remember. I have drunk the 'medicine' today, and I have sobered up a lot. ”

"I, can I go see the old man?"

"Of course it's good. It's just that Miss Yan is so worried, it's—"

"Song Gong, don't say that. ”

As we talked, we walked inside, and as soon as we entered the 'door', we saw the old lady lying on the 'bed', very haggard, and even when she breathed, her mouth was wide open, and there was a feeling that there was air in but not out.

I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, and hurriedly walked over and whispered, "Old lady......"

Hearing my voice, the old man's squinted eyes opened, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Daughter-in-law?"

"Yes...... It's me. ”

"Why didn't you come to see me for the past two days?"

I was speechless, so I could only say dryly, "It's me who is not good." ”

She smiled: "I know you're good, but you're uncomfortable. ”

“…… Old lady. ”

"The old woman's heart, why not feel uncomfortable?"

When she said this, Song Huaiyi, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and his voice became hoarse: "Mother......"

Hearing his voice, Mrs. Zhang said weakly: "Huaiyi, you tell your mother, when will we be able to return to the capital?"

“……”

"I want to go back and see, when will I be able to go back?"

“……”

"For my mother, do you have to wait?"

Song Huaiyi almost cried when she said these words, a dignified deacon of the Song family, but he couldn't do anything about his mother's small request when she was seriously ill, and this feeling obviously made him very painful.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mother don't be sad, the son won't let his mother wait any longer." ”

“……”

"Tonight, tonight we're going to—do it!"
