Chapter 497: For the People

Qiao Mingyue reached out and pulled the cloak on her body, listening to a little baby crying in her mother's arms, the crying voice was very small and weak, the woman was holding the child and coaxing, wanting to feed the child, but there was no milk. water, can only cut the finger to give the child to drink blood.

Retracting her gaze, Qiao Mingyue endured the discomfort in her heart, turned around and got into the carriage, she couldn't look any further, and if she continued to look at it, she was really afraid that she would not be able to help them.

In the carriage, Chunyu had woken up and was packing up her things, Qiao Mingyue asked Chunyu to see how much they still had to eat, Chunyu took a closer look, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Childe, our food is enough to meet the prince in Linqi."

She knew that there must be nothing to eat on the way, so she specially prepared a lot of food when she came, for fear that it would not be enough to eat, and she would buy a little along the way, so this food was enough for them to get to Linqi.

Hearing Chunyu say this, Qiao Mingyue only said: "Chunyu, you will quietly go and give some food and silver money to those victims in a while, don't let people find out, and then go to the next town to meet us."

In this way, they will not be found out that they have given them, and they will be able to help those victims to some extent.

Chunyu covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, "I'll just say it!" Childe is not the kind of person who is vicious, and I guessed it right! ”

Qiao Mingyue looked at Chunyu who was smiling and sorting out the food and scattered silver, and shook her head helplessly, she was not ruthless, she just understood what was more important, and now if she wants to save these refugees, the only way is to help Tuoba Gong let the north return to normal first, only by restoring normal order can the earthquake food allocated above be distributed to the hands of every people.

In the chaotic northland now, even if there is earthquake food, there is no guarantee that everyone will get it.

Qiao Mingyue sighed, it seems that even if Tuoba Gong is not pleasing to the eye, she has to help Tuoba Gong! For the sake of not Tuoba Gong, but thousands of innocent people here.

The carriage was driving on the desolate official road, and there were more and more victims along the road, Qiao Mingyue even saw a few hungry and fainted victims lying on the side of the road, and a few carrion birds surrounded those who were hungry and fainted.

Retracting her gaze, Qiao Mingyue realized for the first time that it was so miserable to live in this era, and she was really unimaginable living in the twenty-first century, it turned out that the people were so powerless when they encountered such a natural disaster.

The road ahead became more and more difficult to walk, many people were digging for bark on the roadside, some were even eating soil, and groups of victims gathered together, either lying down or sitting against bare tree trunks, looking like people who had been beaten to death.

Chunyu couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw the tragic situation in front of her, and didn't dare to continue looking, Qiao Mingyue asked the coachman to hurry up, the coachman answered, and the carriage sped up.

Just walked for four days in a row, the carriage arrived at a small town near Linqi, there are not many people in the town, listen to the old man, basically the young and strong people have gone to Linqi City, some people say where there is food and silver, this town is only left with these old and weak sick and disabled, can't walk, and don't want to leave their own home.

"That old man, did you see a group of people passing by here a few days ago and going to Linqi City?" Qiao Mingyue wanted to inquire about Qi Jingyun's news to see if he had made any moves to attack Linqi.

The old man thought about it carefully, nodded suddenly, and recalled: "Two days ago, a wealthy man went to Linqi with a group of people, and the boy also gave me some food, if it weren't for these grains, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago."

Qiao Mingyue listened to the old man's words, frowning slightly, it was not normal! Qi Jingyun came on horseback, and they were making carriages, the carriage was much slower than riding a horse, and the most important thing was that she had been in a coma for three days before, plus it took two days to cultivate her body, adding up to five days, Qi Jingyun shouldn't have arrived here two days ago!

Qiao Mingyue had doubts in her heart, and now she wanted to know Qi Jingyun's situation, so she had to leave for Linqi.

Hearing that Qiao Mingyue and the others were going to Linqi, the old man hurriedly waved his hand, "You can't go!" After which prince went to Linqi before, I heard that there was a riot in Linqi, killing and injuring some people, and the son has not come back until now, little boy, you are also a good person, I advise you, don't go to Linqi. ”

The old man persuaded again and again, Qiao Mingyue had no choice but to tell him that he was here to find Qi Jingyun, hearing this, the old man understood, and sighed, "Then little boy, take care, after rescuing the son, you must come to my house to sit down, and let me know that you are okay." ”

Qiao Mingyue smiled, nodded slightly, and then left the town.

After they had left, a man came out of the old man's house, and the man had a long scar on his face, from his forehead to his eyelids, which looked hideous and terrifying.

Seeing the man come out, the old man trembled forward and begged, "I have done as you say, can you let my little granddaughter go?"

The man smiled, a flash of coldness in his eyes, "Naturally, I want you to reunite with your little granddaughter!" Before he could finish speaking, the old man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground, blood silently running down the wound on his neck, staining a large area of dry land red.

The figure of the man, disappearing around the corner of the town.

When there were still a few kilometers away from Linqi, Qiao Mingyue got out of the carriage, found a hidden place, hid the carriage, and wrapped the silver taels tightly and buried them in the ground.

In this way, they can be protected from being discovered, after all, the carriage is too ostentatious, and secondly, it can also protect the food, even if the carriage is discovered, it will not be served by others, and there will be no way out for them to retreat.

After cleaning up, Qiao Mingyue asked the coachman to take the steamed buns and change into two tattered clothes, and the two of them changed their clothes, leaving the coachman here to take care of the carriage and answer them.

Qiao Mingyue walked towards Linqi City with the spring rain, and when she was approaching Linqi, Qiao Mingyue saw Linqi City besieged by a group of refugees in the distance at a glance.

Blending into the people, Qiao Mingyue carefully observed, most of these people were young people, and there were also a few women among them, who were either standing, lying or sitting at this moment and surrounded Linqi City.

After turning around, she didn't see the person in charge, Qiao Mingyue could only discuss with Chunyu, go to Qi Jingyun first, and then talk about it, and Chunyu proposed that she stay here to find the person in charge, and let Qiao Mingyue go to Qi Jingyun first, if she has a clue, she will go to her to meet.
