Chapter 239: The Past in the Village (I)
Yuan Ruiming glanced at Shao Jingyi, who was arguing with him, and an unusual smell of gunpowder gradually filled the air.
Shao Jingyi couldn't have noticed it,
But now that he is not in the imperial capital, he is not so respectful,
"Well, you can play by yourself for a while."
He touched the little girl's head, stood up, and walked straight past Yuan Ruiming to the table.
"Guanyin soil?"
Bai Jingyin brainstormed, it was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
"What is that, what is it for?"
"Guanyin clay is actually kaolin, which is an excellent material for firing pottery, because it is abundant in the mountains, so it is relatively cheap, so it can also be used to build houses on walls. But in the year of famine, it will become the food of the hungry. I...... I've heard of it before, but it's the first time I've seen it. ā
Ahead of Shao Jingyi,
Yuan Ruiming said all the definitions of this Guanyin soil, as if he was gambling more seriously.
"So it's still dirt after all?" Bai Jingyin picked it up and looked at it, "Even if this soil is white and fine, similar to flour, it can't be eaten." ā
"If you don't eat, you'll starve to death."
The young man snatched it back from Bai Jingyin's hand,
"The village was flooded, and all the grain and farmland were destroyed. We first ate the rotten millet of the old year, and then we began to eat the rotten vegetables like cattle and horses, boiled the bark and grass roots, and waited until these were gone, so we could only eat this Guanyin soil. ā
The tone is calm and forbearing,
is only a few words, but the tribulation and tragedy brought by natural disasters are described in great detail.
"The person who eats Guanyin soil, is he alive?"
Shao Jingyi asked with some unbearability in his tone.
The boy shook his head,
"No, I can live for a while, and I die in the end."
"So these things are useless at all."
He sighed,
"Throughout the ages, in years of famine and when there was no success, there would be people who would take the so-called 'Guanyin soil' and 'white-faced soil' as living things. Yes, eating it can satisfy the stomach, and the belly can be full with a little bit, but this soil accumulates more and more in the belly, stagnates, and cannot be sent out at all. ā
"Those who survive by eating this thing will still be suffocated to death in the end." Yuan Ruiming participated in the management of a famine when he was a prince, and there was frequent news of the death of Guanyintu, but it was repeatedly forbidden, except for contact from the root, otherwise those people would not care about anything in order to survive.
"Brother, hungry."
The little girl tugged at the boy's sleeve and looked at the few pieces of Guanyin soil on the table.
The boy was also very hesitant,
Probably for him,
To eat or not to eat is the difference between living more or living less.
In the end, he slowly stretched out his hand to the Guanyin soil on the table.
"Are you crazy, didn't you hear what you just said?"
Bai Jingyin really didn't expect him to be so stubborn, so he grabbed the three or four pieces, threw them to the ground, stood up and stepped on them with his feet. "Do you want to kill your sister?"
The boy didn't expect white
Jingyin will have such a sudden action, after reacting, he was suddenly excited, and ran over and pushed Bai Jingyin away,
With great strength, Bai Jingyin stumbled a few steps, and was supported by Yuan Ruiming to stand firmly.
"Who made you move!"
He roared heartbreakingly.
The little girl was so frightened that she cried again and buried her head in Shao Jingyi's arms.
The boy didn't care, he just knelt on the ground and gathered the Guanyin soil that had been mixed with the sludge like a baby, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
"You give it back to me, give it back to me, give it back to me......"
As he spoke, even if he endured it, Douda's tears still rolled down, his arms propped up on the ground, he couldn't hold on to crying anymore, his shoulders trembled, and his voice was hoarse.
"Give it back!"
Bai Jingyin hated him when he saw him like this, and he was about to teach him a lesson with angry eyebrows, but he was pulled back by Yuan Ruiming, and said in a deep voice in his ear:
"Maybe there's something else hidden, don't worry."
Listening to Yuan Ruiming say this,
Seeing that the young man who had always been stubborn and forbearant was now crying like a child, Bai Jingyin's expression moved slightly, and he couldn't bear it, and his attitude gradually softened
It suddenly occurred to me that I had brought something with me, but I also took it out of my waist.
"I put away this candied fruit casually before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy. Although it is not a serious dry food, it is also ......" Then, he saw Yuan Ruiming take out three pieces of hemp cake from his sleeve.
āā¦ā¦ā
Bai Jingyin suddenly felt that he had been demolished.
"Are you kidding me, a pampered emperor, do you still have this kind of consciousness?"
She whispered.
"Pampering is not in conflict with common sense and foresight, since you have to go to an unfamiliar place, then dry food and water must always be prepared."
After that, Yuan Ruiming handed the cake to Bai Jingyin and decided to let her be this good person.
"I didn't expect that you are really different from ordinary emperors."
Bai Jingyin glanced at Yuan Ruiming a few times, and it was rare to have some appreciation between his words, and put the hemp cake and candied fruit on the little girl's hand, and said softly:
"Go and ask my brother to eat together, don't cry."
"Brother, eat."
The little girl, still hungry, kept stuffing something into her mouth, and as she came over and gave the rest to the young man, her watery eyes hanging on her short, thin face, which was very pitiful.
Rarely trembling and taking the hemp cake, swallowing it frantically, but the tears became denser and denser, and a whining cry came out of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Bai Jingyin sighed and sat back in the chair,
"Hey, admit that you are a good brother who thinks about your sister, now that there is food, compared to Guanyin soil, this is what can really live, why are you crying."
"IāI." The boy sobbed, swallowed the last bite, wiped away his tears, and calmed down. "I know that Guanyin soil can't be eaten, but these are my father's life."
Bai Jingyin only reacted at this time,
can let the brother, who is not very old, shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of his sister, and the two children go to the dangerous deserted village alone.
Doesn't that mean there are no adults in the family?
"So is it because your father and mother have nothing to eat, or is it because of this Guanyin soil ......?"
The boy shook his head,
"No, they were killed."
Clenched his fists tightly, hatred in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected reversal in the whole thing, Bai Jingyin glanced at Yuan Ruiming, and then at Shao Jingyi, which seemed to be very surprised.
"Little brother, you sit up first, can you tell us what happened?"
Shao Jingyi helped the young man up, patted the dust on his clothes, and patiently opened his mouth to comfort him to calm down first.
The boy sat back in his chair and took three deep breaths,
Looking at the Guanyin soil on the ground, he slowly spoke.
