Chapter 249: The Heart of the Troubled World

The conquest in the north is not over yet, and Jinyang is also surging. As Jia Xu expected, there are more and more homeless people in Jinyang. The severe drought in Guanzhong has caused hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes. On those avenues and paths, ragged homeless people can be seen everywhere.

The unkempt and numb eyes of the people walked aimlessly like walking corpses. From time to time someone fell on the side of the road, groaning, but no one looked at them again. On this long road, you can't stop, stop, you can't get up again, and in the end it's just a dry bone on the road.

Looking at the crowd of people who were walking in the mud from afar. Listening to the drizzling rain, Lu Lingqi rode on a white pony with a gorgeous red cloak on her shoulders. The two horns on the top of the head, which were originally tied, were also spread out and re-tied, just like a man.

Beside him, he was followed by three people, all with bitter faces.

After all this time, they can understand the nonsense of this eldest lady. But there is nothing to be done, now that Yan Wei is pregnant for ten months, she is also going to give birth to a new child, so naturally she has no energy to care about her. Except for Yan Wei, everyone is quite conniving with Lu Lingqi. Even if Lu Lingqi did something impolite, she laughed it off.

"Miss, it's windy here, why don't you go back first?"

Li Hei asked in a low voice.

To tell the truth, he Li Hei was also the one who followed Lu Bu to assassinate Dong Thief, so he was bold, right? But when he met this Lu Lingqi, Li Hei found that his courage was nothing at all. He is really worried now. Lu Lingqi went out of the city without permission, and there were only three of them around him, if something happened to him, he and Li Hei would die, and it would not be enough to repay their crimes.

"How come there are so many refugees in Jinyang recently?"

Lu Lingqi's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness.

"Hey! Miss, don't you know that there is a great drought in this pass, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people have left their homes......

Qin Yi sighed lightly.

"Hundreds of thousands, ah......"

Lu Lingqi was a little silent. Looking at the trend, looking back at the three people, "These homeless people, there will be someone to take care of, right?" When they came to Jinyang, there must be someone to help their ......"

"That's nature."

Chen Wei has been holding an umbrella for Lu Lingqi, "Miss, Jia Zhizhong will deal with these things, Miss don't worry...... There are a lot of displaced people here, and it's very chaotic...... Miss, let's go back first......"

Staring at these people for a long time, Lu Lingqi witnessed these ragged people, on this muddy road, from time to time someone fell and got up. The cries of children, the shouts of adults, the cries of calls, are endless. In my heart, it was quite heavy.

"Leave quickly, miss!"

The three of them were still persuading.

They have seen a lot of such human tragedies. Even if it is not a taste in my heart, it is much better than Lu Lingqi. Lu Lingqi, who grew up under the care of her since she was a child, has not experienced those hardships, so naturally she has not experienced this kind of life of displacement, no clothes and no food.

Even in the hard days of Wuyuan, at least there was no worry about food and clothing. Besides, Lu Lingqi was still young at that time, and she didn't understand many things.

Not far away, a girl about a teenager dragged a boy younger than him and walked with difficulty. Maybe the little boy was too young to understand anything. Instinctively feeling hungry, he fell to the ground and cried, saying that he would not leave, and when he saw the little boy howling and crying, the girl was also anxious. Those little eyes, looking uneasily in the chaotic crowd, mustered up the courage to timidly beg for some food to the adults who still had packages on their backs. She understands that these people with tattered baggage may have a little bit of food.

However, begging for food among such refugees is undoubtedly met with indifferent faces.

In such troubled times, people can't wait to guard the little food in their arms, where will they give it to others? Even if it's just a small bite, it's enough food to fill a child's belly.

The little boy was still crying.

The girl also seemed to be desperate, and her delicate body carried the little boy on her back, step by step, as if it had been a century, and fell under the dead tree that had been walked to the side.

The indifferent gaze stared at the crowd that was still advancing.

Wow!

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves!

In the little girl's frightened gaze, a smiling face like a flower came into her eyes! Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a red Luanniao cloak, stopped at Le Ma! Jumping down from the colt, Chen Wei, Li Hei, and Qin Yi also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, driving away a few refugees who wanted to come forward to beg.

In such a group of refugees, Lu Lingqi's dress is so beautiful that it naturally attracts the eyes of many people. If it weren't for Lu Lingqi's side, as well as Chen Wei, Li Hei, and Qin Yi, the three fierce and vicious armor soldiers, I am afraid they would all rush forward.

“……”

It seems that she has never seen such a character, and the moment she saw Lu Lingqi, the girl's eyes were a little evasive, but in her flustered eyes, she was also a little more envious and ashamed. Lu Lingqi is like the beautiful white swan standing tall, and she is just a black and ugly ugly duckling.

"Is this your brother?"

Lu Lingqi looked at the crying little boy, the little boy's whole body was dirty, but only the eyes were extremely bright. I was also very surprised that the little boy, after seeing Lu Lingqi, actually stopped crying, and also sucked his little hand, staring straight at Lu Lingqi with a longing gaze.

"Hmmm......"

The girl lowered her head and begged in a timid voice, "Can Miss give me something ......to eat?"

stretched out his muddy hands, staring at Lu Lingqi with burning eyes.

Lu Lingqi glanced at the girl, and then looked at the little boy who had been staring at her, smiled, first took out a piece of white silk from her arms, wiped the girl's muddy little hand, and then took out a piece of cloth wrapped in pastries and gave it to her, "...... When you're full, keep going...... To Jinyang...... There was a ...... to eat."

In Lu Lingqi's gaze, the girl first wiped the white silk on the little boy's hands and face, and then handed him the pastry to eat. Looking at the little boy's satisfied smile, the girl smiled too. looked at Lu Lingqi, showed her white teeth, and said in a low voice, "Thank you...... Can you take in both of us...... We can do anything ......."

"What about your parents?"

Lu Lingqi frowned.

The girl touched the little boy's head, her eyes revealed a trace of grief, and she whispered, "Hungry to death......"

The drifting rain wet Lu Lingqi's face. Lu Lingqi wiped it with her hand, it was full of rain. Looking at the two, Lu Lingqi suddenly understood why her father went out to fight again and again, and was unmoved even if she cried......
