As the sun sets, the afterglow is reflected on the cold and solid city walls, and the people who enter and leave the city begin to speed up their pace, those who enter the city must return home as soon as possible, or find a place to stay, and those who go out of the city must hurry to the next destination before nightfall.

Yan Yiyun looked up at the words on the city wall, dressed in dust, and finally sat on the horse and relaxed a little, "We're here!" ”

"Yes, we're here! Go into the city, I'm afraid the scene inside will only get worse. Qi Ziyu said behind her.

Since leaving the village that day, I really saw a carriage going to the county seat on the official road, so I took a passing car all the way into the county seat, and then bought a horse, which was a little faster, but Yan Yiyun didn't get back the ability to ride a horse, and after almost being thrown down a few times, Qi Ziyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to ride the two of them together.

Although the trip will be a little slower, it always ensures Yan Yiyun's safety, looking at her appearance on the horse, Qi Ziyu feels that he is going to be scared to reduce his life expectancy for a few years. Moreover, there are not many times when he can hold her in his arms justifiably, and after the episode of the acupoint that night, Qi Ziyu is even more afraid to move, and now it is a God-given opportunity to be able to do this all the way.

After a few days of running to get here, the farther north you go, you will find more and more victims begging along the way, or some simply can't walk and fall on the side of the road, and when you reach the root of the city, Yan Yiyun understands what it means to starve all over the wilderness.

"It's going to be even worse...... Didn't the relief food reach these people? How so! Yan Yiyun saw such a scene for the first time, it turned out that in modern times, he had only seen the appearance of the people affected by the flood and earthquake from TV, and under the camera lens, it was already tear-jerking, but it was more realistic than witnessing it with his own eyes.

"It's just a drop in the bucket, and after layers of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how much can really be left in the hands of the affected people!" Qi Ziyu's eyes were a little cold, he had been in Longwei for many years, so he naturally knew the methods of those corrupt officials, and the life-saving food of others, they could also take it for themselves without conscience.

"In this world, how can there be so many corrupt officials! Could it be that even in the prosperous era of Qingping, there are not many Qing officials who are dedicated to the people! Yan Yiyun couldn't help but clench his fists, from ancient times to the present, how many people's homes have been ruined and how many lives have been ruined by moths in these countries! It's an unforgivable sin, but there are more and more people who are tempted by the name of profit, and they can't be killed at all.

"Of course there is, do you think the emperor will not know about these circumstances? Otherwise, how could so many officials from the capital be transferred down to supervise disaster relief matters, but the stakes at this level are complicated, and the local officials may not have no background, and those Beijing officials may not be able to really find out the real black sheep. Qi Ziyu turned over and dismounted with Yan Yiyun's movements, he could understand Yan Yiyun's thoughts, the roadside was full of people lying down, but they were sitting on high horses, this sense of superiority brought by looking down from top to bottom should never appear at this time.

And on the contrary, the sadness and sympathy in Yan Yiyun's heart and the sense of powerlessness that nothing can be done followed, the people who fell on the side of the road not only lost their strength, but also a large part of them have died here, everywhere you can see the children who have lost their mothers, and the mothers who have lost their children, you can hear the sad sorrow and the pain of powerlessness and sorrow everywhere you go.

As the two of them walked, countless people rushed up to see that they were neatly dressed and out of place here, stretching out their hands to beg for a food that could survive, but they had already given everything they could along the way, and now all they had left was money, but here, money may not be able to exchange for a life.

"What to do? We should buy more steamed buns and stuff, now, what can we do? Yan Yiyun was not asking, she just blamed herself and regretted it, looking at those eyes full of hunger and fear and desire for survival, she felt as if something was blocked in her chest.

"No matter how much we buy, we can't save it, what we have to do is to prevent these poor people from being more miserable!" Qi Ziyu hardened his heart, pulled Yan Yiyun to avoid the more and more victims, and went straight to the city gate.

"In such a situation, you can still have evil intentions and take advantage of the catastrophe to abduct and sell ignorant girls who just want a full meal, it's just a brute!" Yan Yiyun gritted his teeth and said, feeling hated every time he thought of it.

"Hmph, it's not just a brute, it's also bold!" Qi Ziyu nodded, "This time we must find them out together, together with the mastermind behind the scenes, I want to see who is secretly instigating and manipulating this matter." ”

The two of them didn't say anything more, only walked all the way in silence, since the locust plague, some of the abilities in this city have gone outside to find a way to survive, leaving only some people who are unable to leave and cannot leave, so that they can't even find a decent inn.

"At this time, how can anyone come here to stay in the hotel, it is normal! Why don't you find a homestay to stay overnight? Yan Yiyun said helplessly after walking a few long streets.

"With this kind of condition, even if you don't have a home, this is already an empty city, homeless." Qi Ziyu shook his head, he has paid attention to the surrounding environment since he entered the city, ten rooms and nine empty, even if there is a house, there is no owner, no one can live, who can take care of the house.

The two walked forward while talking, and a pigeon flapped its wings head-on and bumped into them, Yan Yiyun intuitively dodged to the side, and just wanted to say why this bird was so hungry that it had no strength to fly, but saw Qi Ziyu calmly stretched out his arm, let it fall steadily, and untied a small bamboo tube from its leg, which contained a rolled note, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, Qi Ziyu's face did not move, but Yan Yiyun clearly saw a tricky sorrow in his eyes.

"What? Is it news from your side? Yan Yijun knew that they had always had a unique way of contact, but they had never seen each other, and now it seems that this carrier pigeon is also the most commonly used one.

"Mo Feng stayed in the capital this time, and the news came that the Criminal Department intercepted a group of trafficked girls in the capital, and the Lord Long Yan was furious, these people are really bold enough, even if they take advantage of the fire to rob and do such a conscience-losing thing, they even don't know how to die and send them to the capital, are they really stupid when the guards in the capital are stupid? Or do you think you ignore these things today? ”

Qi Ziyu sneered and said, "It seems that we have to hurry up, a group of girls have been rescued, and these people are bound to abduct and sell more people to supplement them, and it will be lively here!" (To be continued.) )
