"Sometimes, the way things are in the world, the reason why we are still safe to walk here is because these people are afraid of these guards outside, and secondly, they are not sure that we have food on us, and if we do, maybe we would have been surrounded by now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Ling Niang doesn't want human nature to be like this, but sometimes, no matter how uncomfortable it is, she has to accept the reality. When life is threatened, no one in this world is reliable.

Peach Blossom stopped talking, and looked out the window again, only to see that the person who had been robbed of his burden wanted to take back his burden, but he was beaten violently, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Lin Yuxiu's carriage sped up and left here even faster.

And Lin Yuxiu also decided, it is better not to use the carriage, it would be better to ride the horse directly, after all, the carriage looks too eye-catching.

It is common for people to miss their accommodations when they are traveling, and it is inevitable to travel carefully like this.

On this day, Lin Yuxiu and others accidentally missed the stay.

Lin Yuxiu is not such a pampered person, but in the face of the catastrophe, all human nature has no guarantee, even if there are people around to protect her, Lin Yuxiu and others dare not sleep outside.

Fortunately, when the sky was about to get dark, I finally saw a small village in front of me, about 100 households.

"Girl, let's stay in this village tonight, it's safer than outside."

The leader is called Zhou Qiang, a thirty-year-old man, and several other people call him Brother Qiang, Lin Yuxiu can see that Zhou Qiang has a high status in this group.

However, even so, when facing her, Zhou Qiang can always be polite, and even his attitude has always been a little respectful.

Lin Yuxiu nodded, since she had missed the stay, she could only take refuge in the small village in front of her.

Zhou Qiang saw that Lin Yuxiu agreed, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to go ahead to investigate, although it was said that the village might be safe, but who knew if there was an accident?

Soon, the person who arranged to investigate came back, saying that this village was called Repulse Bay, and it seemed that life was good before, but now it is also a situation where every family has no food to eat.

Since Repulse Bay is called Repulse Bay, there must be water, in fact, before the drought, the life of Repulse Bay is still good, at least compared to the life of other villages is still much better, glory and wealth can not be done, but worry-free food and clothing can be guaranteed, every family can live a quiet and comfortable life.

It's a pity that a major drought has made Repulse Bay, which depends on water, lose all its advantages, and the people here have also lost everything because of the lack of water. More than a dozen people even starved to death, but because of the rain, they saw hope for life, so they insisted on not leaving the village to escape the famine.

The older generation said that at such a time, even if you go anywhere, you will not have enough food, so it is better to stay in your own home, at least you don't have to worry about being a lonely ghost when you die.

Moreover, if the imperial court can provide disaster relief, staying in their own village can receive relief food as soon as possible. In fact, that's why these people want to stay here and suffer.

Therefore, it is rare that the people of 100 families in this village continue to stay in the village and live a miserable life.

It's just that time has passed day by day, but the court has no will, and they are about to lose it. Most of the families in the village no longer have a single piece of food, so they can only dig grass roots everywhere to feed their stomachs. The grass roots around are about to be eaten, and even if it rains, even if it rains, I am afraid that not even a single grass will grow.

If it weren't for the fact that the vegetables planted in the field could already see green, they would probably have lost hope.

Lin Yuxiu stayed overnight at the east of the village to a family that looked good, there were not many people, only five people, and two old people led their sons, daughters-in-law and little grandsons to live.

However, there are many houses in his family, about five or six, except for the two rooms where their family lives, the other houses are enough for Lin Yuxiu's group of more than a dozen people to live.

The family was a little timid about the strangers who suddenly came to the door, especially so many big men, who looked very frightening, but they actually said that they were willing to exchange food for a house to live in.

The originally dull eyes added a lot of brilliance, and the old man's originally dead face had a lot of brilliance, as if he saw hope.

He bent his waist to negotiate the price with these passing guests, but if it was still early, he could see that the old man's face was a little embarrassed and guilty after all.

If it was before, it wouldn't be a big deal to beckon some people to stay. But now, it can't be done, and the family of five has been without food for several days, so they live by digging up some roots and picking up some dry bark.

Adults are easy to say, but this five-year-old little grandson can't hold on, just today, his little grandson mud baby is already hungry and confused, and he fainted directly at night and hasn't woken up until now, but everyone knows that this is hungry, except for food, there is no way.

In order to let the little grandson have a bite to eat, the old man put his face out and bargained for the price, hoping to have more food so that the little grandson could have hope to live.

After some hard negotiations, Lin Yuxiu and others rented three rooms at the price of four catties of miscellaneous grains.

It's not that Lin Yuxiu is stingy, the grain she can take out casually is estimated to be tens of thousands of catties, but she can only deduct the price of the rope to negotiate the price, and the husband is not guilty Lin Yuxiu understands very well, if the people here find that they have a lot of food on them, can they guarantee that they will not be moved?

People die for money, birds die for food, but people will take risks when there is no food.

Lin Yuxiu didn't dare to casually believe in strangers she didn't know at all, so she could only let people do this.

As for the four catties of grain, they can't be given all at once, and the discussion is to give two catties first, and the remaining two catties will be given tomorrow morning.

The old man was obviously a little disappointed, originally thinking that he could meet a wealthy guest and get a little more food for his little grandson to survive, but although this guest had a horse, he was still extremely poor. Also, there are only a few horses, and there are not many salutes, and how much food can they bring?

Although it was a little far from the old man's expected goal, the old man still asked his son to bring the guests to the door.

Although it is not much, there are always four catties of grain, if the little grandson drinks mush alone, he can hold on for a while, plus some vegetable leaves or something, it is enough to eat for a long time, and he may be able to hold on to the relief food issued by the imperial court.
