Chapter 171 The mountains are edgeless, and the heavens and the earth are combined
The city was flooded, and the people were struggling to make a living, and the imperial court even sent five military battalions among the twenty-six guards to come to the rescue.
It has been almost a full moon since the incident, but the living are in agony and begging for death, and the dead cannot mourn their bodies.
Looking at it from a distance, I only feel that everything I can see is gray and lifeless.
Diexi was not in a hurry to get closer to the past, coming from the west, the news he heard all the way was terrifying enough, just looking at it from a distance, he knew what was called purgatory on earth.
It turns out that it is not the fight on the battlefield that is the real chapter, it turns out that the hope that cannot be seen is the real despair.
The grievances and helplessness written in those lifeless eyes, I can't find death, but I can't find a way out.
Diexi raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky blue in the past few days was terrible, like a clear lake, and there was not even a trace of clouds to stain it.
Just watched it so quietly, Diexi's lowered eyebrows seemed to be a little sad.
After the accident, King Rui was grounded, and the official even said that he wanted to reduce the honor of his prince, and even the King Huai, who was also in charge of the office, was implicated and was exempted from the court.
The steward here has become a close confidant of the King of Jin, and it seems that he has had a smooth journey after returning from a great victory in the south, first purging Shenwei, and now reacting quickly. Moreover, he used his private money to use it for disaster relief, and this kind of action is almost like a cry for the heavens.
Diexi pulled the corners of his mouth with disdain, everyone can behave coyly, but there are really few people who want to be so shameless and skinless as King Jin.
Somehow, the horses under the seat became a little agitated, kicking their hooves as if trying to escape some danger.
Sure enough, it's Master.
Diexi sighed in admiration in her heart, all the qiē were exactly the same as what was said in Master's notes.
Thinking about it, she didn't stay any longer. He whipped the horse hard, urging it to go down to the makeshift settlement.
This place was arranged at the foot of the mountain, and it was supposed not to be in such a place, but the current shape was forced to set up camp on this higher plain.
After walking in, I found that the security here was really lax, and I was a strange outsider who was so swaggering. But no one came to ask for a question. Not to mention having to stop yourself.
She was still wearing an off-white cloak, which was very strange on such a hot day. A few of the children saw her, but they ran up to her and waved at her with their withered hands. "Good sister, please ask my good sister to give me a bite to eat."
Diexi's hood covered most of her cheeks, and her slightly twitching lips spat out a few gentle voices, "What about your parents?" ”
"Dead."
"Mine is dead, too. drowned. ”
"There, there, I was thrown into a tub to survive."
"I am ......"
The children chattered and twittered. A few of them still had frightened expressions on their faces.
Diexi was stunned, and asked, "Then why don't you ask the officials for food?" ”
The children quieted down suddenly, and a few introverts rubbed the corners of their clothes, silently a little cramped. On one side, an older child looked left and right. Courageously replied to Diexi's words, "Good sister, we haven't eaten in a few days. ”
And so it was. Diexi nodded slightly. He leaned down and untied a bag from his horse, which contained some pancakes and the like. It's not delicious, but it's okay to put it.
The children stared at each other as if they had seen something delicious in the world, with a golden light shining in their eyes.
Die-hee handed the bag to the talking child, and instructed him, "Everyone should be divided, don't favor anyone." Do something for me after eating. ”
The child respectfully took the bag, raised his neck and looked at Diexi with a serious expression, waiting for her to continue.
Diexi smiled, glanced at the children, and then said, "After eating, let the villagers not be at the foot of the mountain, the mountain is about to collapse." ”
A few children looked at Diexi in a daze, and slowly turned their heads to look at the towering mountain rock, the solid mountain wall, the black mountain rock is as solid as a rock, how could it collapse?
Diexi's gaze following them also fell on the mountain wall, and if it collapsed, everyone here would die. If they are all dead, the prince in the capital should laugh.
"Sister, why did the mountain collapse?"
"Is my sister a fairy? So knowing that we are hungry, so knowing that the mountains will collapse? ”
"Sister, is it because there are a lot of monsters living in the mountains, they are going to make trouble?"
The children were eating pancakes and inarticulate to ask her.
Diexi shook her head and suddenly asked them, "Do you know what the steward here is?" ”
What's the last name? What is Last Name?
Several children looked at each other, all shaking their heads innocently.
Don't know? Diexi knew that it would be good for a child in a small mountain village like this to have a name, and he didn't expect to be able to read and go to the school to be taught, I'm afraid it would be...... I don't know a single big word.
After thinking about it, she asked in a different way, "What about it...... Is there that official here who is the most respected? ”
Sure enough, the children nodded their heads and rushed to answer her, "Yes, there is an official who is dressed well." ”
"Yes, yes, he can smell the meat every day in the place where he lives, and he can be full when he smells it."
"He's wearing a good dress, the sun is shining, and it's still glowing with gold."
"Yes, yes, everyone has to give way when they see him. Once, Uncle Wang next door didn't have time to give way, so he was kicked and beaten by the officials. ”
"Really? Which uncle? ”
"It's your uncle's."
"It's your uncle's."
The children didn't speak well, and soon they were giggling and laughing in a circle, and they had long forgotten what Diexi asked in the first place.
"Ahem." Diexi coughed dryly a few times, attracting the children's attention back, and then continued to ask, "What about ...... What does everyone call him? ”
"Tall, sir!" This time it was almost a unanimous reply, and the echo of the three words of the tall man shook Diexi's ears and buzzed.
Lord Gao, it is indeed a good seedling cultivated by His Royal Highness.
Along the way, what I began to listen to was only the disaster, but gradually I got closer, and I heard more about the disaster that I had suffered, and how the local people were suffering and suffering.
But he continued to walk, and the stronger the people's anger he heard, saying that the disaster relief money allocated by the emperor was not much, and compared with the barren people years ago, it was simply not enough to stuff the teeth.
But mosquitoes are also meat, and there are always some people who will worry about it in their hearts, so they are greedy and receive at all levels, and when they reach the hands of the local people, it becomes a miserable situation where they can't even eat a bite of food.
People are doing it, the sky is watching, no, I can't even watch the sky anymore. (To be continued.) )
