Chapter 451: A Question and a Bite of Cake

"Kids?" Chen Fei walked in and looked curiously at the child being picked. Seeing that he was really thin, only a skin package remained, his eyes were protruding because of the depression of the surrounding skin, his face was sallow and bloodless, and he really looked like a ghost.

"Whew!" The child bared his teeth and tried to pounce on Chen Fei, but because his clothes were picked, he couldn't move, so he could only wave his hands and feet in place, showing his teeth and claws, and wanted to eat the life present.

"Brother Yin, this is your fault, this kid is also pitiful, hungry to the bones, why do you want to make him like this? It's cruel! ”

Yin Ping moved the child to Chen Fei and said calmly: "Then you control him, I am not responsible for being caught and bitten." ”

Chen Fei ......, "Forget it, let's keep this posture, safe!" ”

Chen Fei touched his chin and looked at the child again, and some questions rose in his heart.

This is obviously a deserted village, why is this child here? Could it be that this kid is from this village? What about the others? Also, why was this village abandoned?

Everything seems to have an answer in this child!

Chen Fei asked the strong man who met this child at the beginning with some excitement: "Can this child speak?" ”

The strong man scratched his head and said uncertainly, "It should be... Would it? He asked me if I had anything to eat. ”

"Good! It's good to be able to talk! Who of you has food on you? Hurry up and take it out! Chen Fei rubbed his hands excitedly.

"My bread has been eaten for him!" The strong man spread his hands to indicate that he had nothing to eat.

Chen Fei turned his head to look at others.

"I... I still have a pie here. A soldier took out a piece of bread and handed it to Chen Fei.

"I still have a little half of bacon here." Another soldier was so distressed that he took out his small half of bacon.

"Okay, don't be so reluctant, I'll compensate you when the time comes, it's public!" Chen Fei took the meat strip and patted his chest to assure him, he was a mess of pride.

Then he placed the cake and shook it in front of the screaming and struggling child. The originally noisy and cheerful child immediately quieted down, staring at the flatbread with both eyes, and the saliva was about to flow out, not scary, but a little cute.

"Child, if you answer my question, you will have bread to eat, otherwise you will not be able to eat this bread." Chen Fei shook the flatbread for a while, smiling cheaply.

The child didn't speak, just stared at the cake, looking like he couldn't do it.

"Ahem!" Chen Fei cleared his throat and spoke, "Let me ask you the first question first: Are you from this village?" The answer is yes or no, you have bread to eat, and you have to be honest! ”

The child glanced at Chen Fei vigilantly, kept silent, and turned his head to continue staring at the cake.

Chen Fei is not in a hurry, anyway, he has kung fu to make trouble with this little kid, and while waiting, he is doing some tempting actions.

For example, if you put the bread in front of you and smell it vigorously and intoxicatedly, you will exclaim with enjoyment: "I really want this cake." ”

Or tear off a small piece of bread with your hand, put it in your mouth and chew it a few times to make a delicious expression. "It's delicious!"

And so on, and soon, the kid couldn't resist it. Although he was vigilant, he could not resist the temptation to eat, and finally nodded, hoarsely throated, and said "yes", acknowledging that he was from this village.

"Very good, if you answer, you will have bread to eat! I said I would do it. Chen Fei tore off a piece of cake and put it in front of the child.

He snatched the cake in three or two bites and ate it, and continued to stare at the remaining cake in Chen Fei's hand.

Chen Fei smiled, tasted the sweetness, and then it was simple to open his chatterbox.

"So where did your family go? And where have all the people in this village gone? Chen Fei asked a second question.

The child said calmly, "Dead!" Others fled, and some died. ”

Chen Fei's heart jumped, a child said with an expressionless face that his family was dead, and there was no twist and turn in his heart.

What happened to make a child so cold?

Chen Fei endured the discomfort in his heart, tore off the second piece of cake and handed it to the child. After the child had finished eating, he continued to ask, "How did your parents die?" And why did the rest of the village flee here? What's going on? ”

After the child swallowed the cake, he still said in a cold and emotionless tone: "Those who starved to death, the food was robbed by the government, and if there was no food, they either starved to death or fled." ”

Chen Fei's heart jumped hard! The grain was robbed by the government? Causing the people to starve to death and the name of the village to flee? Oh, my God? What really happened in Luzhou? Are the officials here crazy? Could it be that they really ignore the king's law and the lives of the people in this area? Has the government here rotted to this extent?

It is unimaginable that such a terrible thing would happen to the prosperous era and the reign of Zhenguan at its peak. Is this still the Tang Dynasty he knows? Or is it that except for the surroundings of Chang'an, the government offices everywhere are the same?

Chen Fei suddenly panicked, although he had been prepared, he was still suddenly a little afraid to know the truth of the matter.

"! Cake! Cake! The child suddenly struggled and looked at Chen Fei with red eyes.

Chen Fei woke up and turned around, tearing off the cake in his hand and handing it to the child.

When he had finished eating, he asked the next question. "When did the government grab grain? Did they do anything else? ”

The child tilted his head and thought about it, and replied, "Last month or last month, I don't remember clearly." Some of the strong men in the village were captured. ”

Zhuang Ding was also arrested? How does it feel like you're going to ...... Picking up coolies?

The boundary of Luzhou is really abnormal, and Chen Fei can't figure out what is going on in this ghost place, true and false, false and true, many conflicting news are mixed together, so he doesn't know how to identify it.

"Give you bread and ask you two last questions: first, where do you recognize the people who robbed the grain? Second, what are the big projects going on around here? ”

Chen Fei handed over the bread and meat strips in his hand, and after the child ate them, he licked his fingers and said: "I don't know any people who robbed food, I only remember that there was a person with a big scar on the left side of his face, as for the big project... Does the construction of the Temple of Our Lady count? ”

Temple of Our Lady? First the Church of Our Lady, and now there is a temple of Our Lady? If the government arrests someone to build the temple of Our Lady, then the cat is tired of it.......

"Child, do you know what is going on in this temple of Our Lady?" Chen Fei couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes." The child said calmly, licked his fingers clean, and then stretched out his dirty little hand in Chen Fei's expectant gaze: "I'll tell you what you want to eat." ”

Chen Fei ......, "Hey! Do you still have food on you? Hand it over and compensate you next time! ”

Several soldiers looked at each other and spread their hands: "My lord, there is nothing to eat on your body." ”

Yin Ping frowned, glanced at Chen Fei with disdain, and pouted in disgust: "It's good to bring it back, there are so many things." ”

Chen Fei....... Curse! It seems to make sense........

"What are you going to do?" The child finally felt that something was wrong and wanted to escape, Chen Fei looked at him with a smile, his smile innocent and innocent.

"It's okay, go to our camp, my brother will take you to eat delicious ......."
