Chapter 236: The Cruel Way of the World

The surroundings suddenly became cold, a slight chill rose from the feet low, and the cry of a child came slowly, like a wounded little beast.

They all knew very well that it would be almost impossible to settle 10,000 refugees.

The crown prince's foundation is not deep, and he fights every year, and the governors of some prefectures and counties stick to one side's land, and are naturally unwilling to accept lowly refugees, and when the common documents are approved layer by layer, a few months have passed, and naturally half of these refugees will die, which is the longest trick of the powerful people in the dynasty.

Sending troops to attack again will only increase the burden on Dongtan's military and financial resources, and it will be barren, and there will be no need to compete for it.

The Yunchuan army has done its duty to share its own military rations, but the food will be eaten up one day, the war situation on all sides is urgent, and most of Dongtan's annual harvest is used on the battlefield, how can there be food to support these refugees.

Zhen Yue still repaired a letter and sent it to Xining that night, hoping that Ah Qiu could solve the problem of the refugees as much as possible, so that these people could enter the surrounding county towns smoothly.

Throughout the night, Fu Ziran led a few volunteers to shuttle in the camp tent of the refugees, Zhen Yue and Ji Jianxuan helped decoction the herbs, sorted out the herbs, and finally fell asleep by the pile of dry firewood.

Early the next morning.

"Girl, wake up."

The golden light was dappled on the sleeping face, the eyelashes fluttered, the eyebrows frowned slightly, Zhen Yue slowly opened her eyes, and saw Ah Kang holding a freshly baked steamed bun in his hand, and the sweet aroma faintly brushed the tip of his nose.

"Girl, how can you give the tent to the soldiers, and sleep outside."

Zhen Yue folded the velvet blanket on her body and said, "You have all given the camp tent to the people, and it is hard enough to sleep outside these days, anyway, my tent is big, and you don't have to take care of me in everything." ”

Mu Kang's cheeks were flushed, and he scratched his head a little sneeringly: "When I was in Qilinfang before, people said that although the girl looked cold, she was the most bloody, and I knew that the childe's vision couldn't be wrong." ”

Zhen Yue found that every time he talked to Mu Kang, his cheeks would flush, like a simple and cute little girl, probably for so many years, only Ah Kang still preserved the clarity of the past.

After a night of contact, the volunteers and the Yunchuan army gradually became acquainted, from time to time together to say a few words, a few curious soldiers stared enviously at the volunteers waist of the repeating crossbow, whenever someone asked, the volunteers will proudly boast, how to control the day and how to deal with the enemy in the later period.

After Zhen Yue finished grooming, she saw that Fu Ziran was busy and anxious, the sick people lined up, everyone was pale, and from time to time someone moved out of the tent dead corpses.

"How's it going?"

Zhen Yue was helping Fu Ziran deliver the silver needle, while holding hot water, and saw that his eyelids were faintly blue and black, and she was distressed.

Fu Ziran wiped his hands, walked around the simple and dirty tent, and said sadly: "Most of these people are suffering from cholera, high fever, and diarrhea. ”

"Cholera!" Zhen Yue was taken aback.

"It doesn't matter, if it's cholera, I'm afraid that the Yunchuan army will not be able to bear it for a long time, and the perennial plague has been rampant, but these people's bodies and bones have some immunity, and they are only in the early stage, treat it well, and it won't take long to control it."

Zhen Yue's heart suddenly relaxed, cholera often occurs frequently in summer, and at this time, it has just entered spring, and the disease has already spread, fortunately they came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhen Yue was busy until the evening before leaving the tent, and it was just a simple meal halfway, the sky was gloomy and stuffy, her eyes wandered, only to see the old and weak women and children supporting each other to eat, and some sturdy refugees were also listless, and the perennial poor life made their will gradually wear out, even if the body was strong, they had long been lazy and formed.

As soon as he raised his footsteps, he saw Ji Jianxuan, who was going to Zhoucheng, leading the team back, carrying the purchased medicinal materials one by one, sweating profusely.

Zhen Yue walked over and said, "You went to the county capital Yin." ”

There are too many medicinal materials purchased, and they all have to be registered with the county government Yin, and Ji Jianxuan should have already gone to the county government.

Ji Jianxuan nodded with a calm face and said: "The Fu Yin of Wuyang City has already withheld our approval, and next time we can't go to Wuyang City to procure, we can only go farther away from Yang City, the medicinal materials in Wuyang City have been purchased by us, and the medicinal herb shops in the city have taken advantage of the situation to raise the price." ”

Zhen Yue's face was slightly cold: "These selfish and greedy villains have no national heart at all!" ”

"You and I should see this kind of world very clearly, give it to you."

An oil-paper wrapped thing was handed over, and a faint smell of meat wafted in, causing a slight grunt, Zhen Yue's cheeks suddenly turned red, it was really not greedy, she ate half a steamed bun at noon, and when she smelled the smell of meat, she naturally made a fool of himself.

Ji Jianxuan's ears were good, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said, "I just happened to sell roast goose legs in the market." ”

Zhen Yue was informal, she didn't feel twisted at all, she took the oil paper, and there was a slight heat passing through, making the slightly cool fingertips have a trace of warmth, and she smiled: "This roast goose leg is enough for many people to drink meat porridge." ”

Ji Jianxuan was not surprised at all, lifted the sack on one side and lowered his eyes and laughed, turned around and walked towards the soldiers' camp.

The glow of the sunset renders the earth a golden and warm, and the mountains and rivers here are poor and barren, but the girl who walks on the tip of the sword all the year round feels extraordinarily peaceful.

She turned around slowly, and was stunned for a moment, only to see a little girl about five years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and big eyes staring at the goose legs in Zhen Yue's hand, but she didn't dare to come forward to ask for it, and she didn't leave, her chapped lips chirped.

Zhen Yue's fingers tightened, she half-squatted down, and said with gentle eyes: "Little girl, what is your name?" ”

The little girl didn't speak, she seemed to recognize her life, even if she was greedy for goose legs, she still took a step back with some fear, and kept some distance from Zhen Yue.

The smoke of war, the most bitter thing is these children, Zhen Yue opened the oil paper, revealing the golden and tender goose meat inside, which was bright and golden and invited people to taste.

The little girl was holding her fingers and saliva from time to time, which was particularly distressing.

Zhen Yue tore half of the goose leg and handed it over: "Take it and eat it, don't be afraid." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yue was so bold, the little girl quickly took it over, looked around like a cautious rabbit, and then ran away, as if she was afraid that Zhen Yue would regret it.

Zhen Yue sighed slightly, and before she went far, she heard a howl behind her, and the cry was like a tearing hole in an instant, attracting everyone's attention.

In just a moment, under the towering ancient trees, dozens of refugees who had gathered around to drink porridge were strangled together, and there was a burst of ghosts crying and wolf howls, mixed with unbridled curses and insults.

"What are you doing!"

Zhen Yue was galloping, yelling at the refugees who were fighting together, the Dongtan soldiers were alarmed, and they rushed over one after another, Mu Kang was the closest, and he ran over at once, and drank vigorously while unraveling the fight. (To be continued.) )
