It's nearly May, and it's said to be appreciating spring, but in fact, the fragrance has been exhausted, and it has already revealed a bit of early summer.

Mu Qing finally left the jacket that had been wrapped in the whole winter, changed into a light cyan silk rhombic pattern skirt, and wrapped a thin silk silk. Ah Yue pulled up a spiritual snake bun for her, and still only inserted a golden hairpin of the usual treasure flower.

Because of the simplicity of the outfit, it will be parked after a while, Ada is still setting the car, and Ah Yue is still packing up a silver ball sachet that should be used, replacing the silk and other things.

Mu Qing walked down the stone steps of the main house, and Du Ruhui was playing in the courtyard, supporting his armpits, throwing him high, making him wave his fleshy little arms straight away, and giggling all over the courtyard. Seeing Mu Qing come out, he waved his arms and leaned straight towards her, calling "aunt and aunt" vaguely in his mouth.

"He would like to be close to you." Du Ruhui smiled and handed Fu Yanyan into her arms.

Mu Qing took it in a soft voice, and only hugged it for a while, then he couldn't exert any more energy, and returned it to Ah Liu, "Ah Yan has grown up fast recently, and he can't hold it anymore." ”

"Are you going out of town today?" Du Ruhui glanced at the hem of her rhombic pattern, "Recently, a lot of wandering hungry people have moved outside, perhaps because they heard that the granary in Jinyang City was full, and they didn't know that they could enter the city until they got there, so most of them gathered on the outskirts of the city." If you want to go out of the city and be careful, bring more people. ”

Mu Qing frowned and responded: "I was originally invited by Mrs. Changsun and Mrs. Pei, and there will be nothing wrong if I want to come and travel with them." ”

When he arrived outside the city, Mu Qing understood what Du Ruhui said about "many wandering and hungry people". Less than a mile out of the city, there were some people sitting scattered on the side of the post road, and at first she only talked to Ah Yue in the car, and did not care. After walking out of the city for a while, Ah Yue lifted the curtain on the pane, glanced out casually, and then let out an "ah" in surprise.

Mu Qing leaned in front of the pane, looked around, and opened his mouth slightly in shock for a while, and couldn't close it for a while. In the wasteland on both sides of the official road, thick branches and broken felt cloth, bamboo with branches and leaves, covered with some discarded tents in the military camp, became a shelter for the homeless, or there were abandoned mud-walled thatched huts, and many people were crowded together. Roughly speaking, there are no less than 300 people along the way.

There is a little entrance to the underground, regardless of whether it is wild vegetables or barnyard grass, almost all dug up, and at a glance there are brown soil spots and devastation. The child's crying accompanied him all the way, and Mu Qing only felt that his heart was sore by a soft knife. A thin woman, squatting on the side of the road, hugged a child of the same age as Fu Yanyan, buried her face in the child and screamed bitterly.

"Maybe her child is too hungry to hold on, can I go and give her some money?" Ah Yue's eyes flashed with tears, and she sniffed and said to Mu Qingdao.

"They can't enter the city, and where do they go to buy food when they give her money?" Mu Qing pressed the hand she was about to take out the bag, "See if there is much to eat, give her some first, stay for a few days, and then think of some help." If these many hungry people do not have the mercy of their families and do something for them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive. ”

Ah Yue agreed, stopped the driving Ada, and went to look for food. Because he came out to enjoy the spring, and he was not the organizer, he didn't bring much food, but he only found a piece of bread, and Ah Yue hurriedly took it to the woman.

Mu Qingyi got out of the car to look at the child, but heard Ah Yue say "ah" again, and saw her take two steps back with the cake. Mu Qing took a few steps faster and walked over there.

Ah Yue hurriedly flashed behind her and whispered, "That child, that child is dead." But seeing the woman weeping profusely, seeing Mu Qing coming, put down the stiff child, fell to the ground with a puff, and lay on the ground mourning and weeping, Mu Qing frowned and stood in place looking at her, neither persuasion nor help.

After a while, the woman raised her head and cried, "Seeing that the lady looks like a member of the official family, please save my child." ”

"This kid ...... He was already ......" Mu Qing glanced at the child lying on the side, his body was unmatched, his head was as big as a fight, he was hungry, and his limbs were stiff, obviously dead for a long time.

The woman sat down on the ground, barely suppressing her weeping, and said in a trembling voice, "Those who have lost their conscience, they say, "It is better for a dead child to be buried in the earth and teach wild dogs to dig it out and eat it in the middle of the night...... It's better to cook and eat, and live a few lives. The day before yesterday, a child died, and it was like this...... I really can't bear my child, how can I teach him to be buried in peace, and die as soon as possible......."

Hearing these words, Ah Yue couldn't support it, and almost collapsed, covering her mouth and rippling with tears. Mu Qing closed his eyes, but he couldn't get rid of the scene described by the woman in his mind, and there were waves in his abdomen like a river and a sea.

Ada saw that the situation was not right, jumped off the wheel, came over with a horsewhip, only listened to the second half of what the woman said, and whispered to Mu Qing: "Don't worry about the lady, go back to the car." ”

When the woman heard that she was leaving, she came up and dragged her skirt, and fell at her feet, crying in a hoarse throat, "Lady is very kind, and have mercy on my child...... The lady didn't know that they, they, actually threw the dead children into a big stone mortar, smashed them, and cooked soup ......"

Ah Yue couldn't bear it anymore, leaned over to the side and vomited, Mu Qing was also so shocked that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. The woman was hungry for an unknown amount of time, and she was powerless to pull it, so she fell to the ground and wept heartbreakingly.

"Hugh will say it again!" Ada yelled at her to stop her from going on. As soon as the words fell, a few men ran in the distance, and at a glance they knew that they were also hungry, and when they looked at the situation, they were really coming for the child's corpse. The woman looked back, shook her head like madness, and exclaimed, "Lady, lady, they are coming!" ”

The woman threw herself on the child's corpse in despair, protecting herself, and several men who rushed to the scene stared at the child lying on the ground, with a look of eagerness and eagerness on their faces, only glancing at Mu Qing fiercely, and about to tear the woman apart.

"Ada." Mu Qing turned to Ada, but he couldn't speak, he was shocked, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Ada understood what she meant, shook off the whip in his hand, and a whip was impartial, and it was slashing between the woman and the men. The men glared angrily at Ada and Mu Qing and their party, with a look of tearing eyes and about to pounce at any time, while the two of them still went to pull the woman, and the other three stepped forward viciously to grab the whip of the horsewhip.

How could Ada teach them to get close, wave the whip, and slash over with the sound of the wind, "pop" two crisp sounds, and then the two men's miserable screams overwhelmed the whip, and the two whips fell on the feet of the two, so painful that the two of them squatted down, holding their feet and screaming.

Ada sighed heavily and withdrew his whip. Thinking that they were also blinded by hunger, so he still had a trace of mercy, and could not bear to hurt them too much, but when he threw out the whip, he was very strong, if it were not for this meaning, these two whips would not be able to withstand the two of them, and they would have destroyed their feet.

The two men who were pushing and pulling the woman on the other side, seeing that the situation was not right, and knowing that they were terrified, they put aside the bodies of the woman and the child, and stepped back step by step.

"Ada, let's go and bury this child for her first." Mu Qing stroked his chest, suppressed the frightened stomach, raised his eyebrows, stared at the men stiffly, and said fiercely: "Which one, if you dare to be embarrassed by her again, dare to dig out that child from the ground in private, don't be afraid to be a new soul under this whip!" And there is no need to take the trouble of throwing you into that great stone mortar and grinding it to pieces, but this whip will make people rot into flesh and bones. ”

The woman hurriedly kowtowed to Mu Qing, grabbed the body of the child underground, and hugged it tightly in her arms. Those men were shocked by the whip in Ada's hand and Mu Qing's reprimand, and stood still in place and did not dare to move, still peeking at the child from time to time.

"Do you understand? If you understand, you can go! Mu Qingjun pointed at those people sharply, bluffing them into nodding their heads as they scattered backwards, and responded vaguely in their mouths. The two people on the ground who were holding their feet and screaming in pain also limped and fled.

Ada took the woman to another place to open a pit and fill it, Mu Qing and Ah Yue sat back in the car, Ah Yue was still sobbing lowly, and after a long time, he wiped away the residual tears on his cheeks, and said softly: "Is this world unbearable, I want to eat people." The beasts also know that their kind do not eat each other, and they really don't even have their animal nature left. ”

Mu Qing didn't feel good in his heart, but he wasn't as flustered as her, so he had to talk to her a few words. Secretly sighed that if I had seen this scene a few years earlier, I would not have been as frightened as Ah Yue, and I would only cry and complain, and I couldn't help myself, after a few years, I had witnessed a lot of disgusting things, and it really hardened my heart, and I didn't even shed tears.

After a short time, Adana's head was finished, and the woman trembled forward to thank her repeatedly, Mu Qing looked at her posture of falling in the wind, and did not want her to bow down, gave her a cake, and sent away.

By the time her car arrived at the place where the tent barrier had been set up to enjoy the spring, there were no refugees gathering along the road. I don't know how they found out that there is a view to enjoy here, and it is really extraordinary.

The barrier is set up in a high protruding place, facing a vein of peaks, the bottom of the mountain is verdant, but the top of the mountain is covered with a large area of snow, and the view is like a white head. A wide and turbulent stream is sandwiched between the green hills on both sides, as if extending from the white mountain and winding out through the valley, like a snow dragon patrolling.

The eldest grandson had already sat down at the long table in the tent with the other two ladies, and he was angry that Mu Qing had come late. "It's really mine, the hungry people are delayed on the way, and I will punish one first." Mu Qing smiled and picked up the wine cup that the eldest grandson's maid had poured for her, and took one for herself.

When he put down the wine cup, he turned his head to see Ah Yue's expression, but he had already brushed away his previous appearance of horror and tears, and he stood beside him with a half-smile on his lips. Mu Qing secretly praised in his heart, he was really a smart and forbearant person, and he knew how to advance and retreat, which was really not easy.

The eldest grandson saw that she had punished herself, and smiled at the other two ladies and said: "Qi Niang served a good amount of wine, but I didn't see that day in the camp, arrogant and cloudy, I really admired it." ”

Although Mu Qing didn't like her way of talking about her predecessors, she only laughed at what she said because she had something in her heart, and she planned to take advantage of her in the future, and borrowed her money bag to make a move, so she didn't bother with her, and only put what she said into laughter.
