In a dilapidated town in Tanglin County, Chu Xiaofeng and the three of them slowly followed behind the flow of people, and after about a cup of tea, everyone stopped in front of a broken temple. In front of the crowd, there was a row of dilapidated wooden tables, on which were placed a dozen large frames, and the frames were full of dark steamed buns. On one side of the wooden table were a few rusty iron pots, which were filled with some pitch-black, viscous substance that smelled fishy.

More than a dozen men in tattered clothes picked up the swarthy steamed buns in the frame and distributed them to everyone. All the refugees consciously lined up and took their own food, without looting or greed. Chu Xiaofeng looked at this scene in shock, he didn't expect that the life of the refugees here would be so difficult.

The food distributed to them was not even eaten by animals, and now it has become an invaluable life-saving food. Looking at the satisfied faces, looking at the gobbling up one by one, Chu Xiaofeng clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to chop himself up for this group of victims to eat. What about the two types of disaster relief for the imperial court? What about Long Shijie's best efforts? Is this world so dark? Don't they know the simple truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat?

A little girl held a broken tile in her hand, ran to the cauldron excitedly, asked for a bowl of dark porridge, she smelled it intoxicated, ran to a woman not far away in a few steps, and said immaturely: "Mother, drink it quickly!" It's fragrant. The woman smiled slightly, her sickly face showed love, she reached out and touched the little girl's head, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Xiu'er, my mother is not hungry, you can eat first." ”

"But mother, you haven't eaten for three days." The little girl pouted, with tears in her eyes, and whimpered. Although she was young, she also knew that if she didn't eat, she would die.

"Ahem, okay, mother." The woman slowly moved her head to the broken bowl in the little girl's hand and smiled lovingly. It's just that the eyes are tearful, and the eyes full of care and reluctance are only helpless and desperate in the end.

"Ahem" The woman had just taken a sip, and suddenly coughed violently, the black porridge was mixed with red blood, and she hurriedly covered the blood with her sleeve, for fear of being seen by the little girl.

"Mother, is it delicious?" The little girl smiled sweetly and asked happily. When my mother finally eats, then she can't die.

"It's delicious." The woman smiled slightly and said lightly. It's just that the voice is so bitter.

"Little sister, you go and get a steamed bun for your mother again, how about I help you feed your mother?" Chu Xiaofeng turned over and dismounted, walked in front of the mother and daughter, and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" The little girl saw that Chu Xiaofeng's face was dark and his face was hideous, and she asked in horror.

"I'm also a refugee, and I saw that you were having a hard time feeding your mother, so I wanted to help you." Chu Xiaofeng still smiled kindly. He was indeed a refugee, he was a refugee of the heart. He had come to save the plague survivors, but who could save him as a refugee?

"Xiu'er, you can go and get another steamed bun for your mother." The woman smiled and said to the little girl. Hearing her mother say this, the little girl raised her little face and smiled at Chu Xiaofeng: "Then it's troublesome big brother." ”

"Hehe, it's just a gesture." Chu Xiaofeng stroked the little girl's head with his hand and said in love.

The little girl handed the broken bowl to Chu Xiaofeng, and ran happily to the row of broken wooden tables. Chu Xiaofeng put the bowl on the ground and reached out to grab the woman's wrist, which frightened the woman and almost screamed. But seeing Chu Xiaofeng put his hand on the pulse of her wrist, he turned his surprise into joy. She asked excitedly and in a low voice, "Sir, are you a doctor?" ”

"Shhhh He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to open the woman's eyelids, looked at it carefully, and then said softly: "Auntie has a cold, and it was not a big deal originally, but it has dragged on for a long time, and it is inevitable that a minor illness will become a major illness." ”

"Then can I still be saved?" The woman asked, expectantly. Ants still steal life, let alone individuals? But where there is a glimmer of life, who will choose to die.

"Hehe, look at what Auntie said, with me, I'm sure you're safe." Chu Xiaofeng smiled, took out the silver needle box from his sleeve, he gently stroked the lid of the box, and said lightly: "Qi Yuan!" A slender silver needle flew out in response and slowly fell into Chu Xiaofeng's hand.

When the woman saw this, her face changed dramatically in an instant, such a miraculous method must be a god. She knelt on the ground struggling, kowtowed to Chu Xiaofeng, and cried with joy: "Thank you for the rescue, thank you for the rescue." ”

"Auntie, why is this? Hurry up, please. Chu Xiaofeng was about to give her an injection, but when he saw her suddenly like this, he hurriedly helped her up, and then said with a smile: "I'm not a fairy, I just know some tricks." He inserted the Qi Yuan needle into the woman's forehead, and then took out several ordinary silver needles and inserted them into different acupuncture points on the woman's body one after another.

The woman suddenly felt a clear mind and a sense of well-being. When Chu Xiaofeng took off the silver needle, she knelt in front of Chu Xiaofeng again and kowtowed to him. Chu Xiaofeng helped her up, sat aside, and said softly: "I'm just giving you a temporary postponement of the condition, if you want to completely cure it, you still need to recuperate." ”

"Hey!" The woman sighed and said weakly, "Now that I am displaced, how can I recuperate?" It's nice to have a meal now. ”

"Didn't the imperial court distribute food?" Chu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously, in fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time. Why is this place so desolate, and where has all the money and food for the imperial court disaster relief gone?

"Imperial Court!" The woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she said angrily: "We have never seen the grain of the imperial court!" Moreover, the plague in Tanglin County only occurred in the town of Huiping in the north, but the government arrested us and insisted that we had the plague! They don't give us anything to eat or drink, and more than half of them die of cold and starvation, and by the time we are released, the crops will have already withered! ”

"What!" Chu Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this, and he felt a flame in his chest, which was burning and was about to erupt. If this woman said it was really terrible. In order to get more disaster relief money and food, the government here did not hesitate to sacrifice innocent people, which is really inferior!

"Tell me, do we still have a way to survive in such a court?" The woman hid her face and wept. His husband starved to death in order to save food for himself and his children.

"Mother, why are you crying?" The little girl's voice suddenly sounded, and she ran over happily, holding half a piece of dark steamed bun in her hand, and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

"Hehe, my mother didn't cry." The woman smiled, put the steamed bun in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Not far away, Yu Wenlang and Zhang Fei looked at all this in a daze, they had never seen such a miserable scene, and they never knew what it was like to be hungry. Looking at the scene in front of them, the two of them intuitively felt depressed in their chests, as if something was blocking their throats.

"Drive!" "Drive!" ”

Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance, and in the dust, a pair of officers and soldiers galloped towards them. They quickly rushed into the crowd, waved their horsewhips, and beat people when they saw them, and the whole scene became chaotic, and the wails were incessant. Several of them rushed to the row of broken wooden tables, knocked the heads and black porridge to the ground, and then trampled them back and forth on horseback.

A leader in a red official mansion shouted: "In the future, if anyone dares to release grain without permission, there will be no mercy!" If you want to eat, go to the yamen to buy it, do you understand? ”

Chu Xiaofeng, Yu Wenlang, and Zhang Fei were shocked to see such a change, and they all hated it, and they all wanted to step forward to teach those officers and soldiers a lesson. Suddenly, a green figure flew by, and instantly came to the front of the group of officers and soldiers, and behind her, more than a dozen eight-foot-tall men followed, they looked at the officers and soldiers in front of them angrily, waving the hoes in their hands.

"What are you trying to do!" The crisp voice of the woman in green was a little hoarse, looking at the head and rice porridge that had long been mixed with dirt on the ground, she questioned resentfully, and the officers and soldiers in front of her.

"Shout! Do you want to rebel? Seeing this, the officers and soldiers at the head shouted loudly. The whip in his hand was slammed towards the woman in green in front of the horse, and the woman in green flashed lightly and deftly dodged. Her face instantly met the eyes of Chu Xiaofeng and Yu Wenlang, and the two glanced at each other, isn't this the woman in green who robbed Yu Wenlang's gold in Longjing Village! How did she end up here?

Chu Xiaofeng grabbed Yu Wenlang and signaled him not to act rashly. Yu Wenlang turned his head to the side angrily, and that day, the woman in green tied him up all over his body for a day, making him make a big fool in front of Chu Xiaofeng. If this revenge is not avenged, how can he Yu Wenlang swallow this breath!

Chu Xiaofeng frowned, and suddenly remembered that when she snatched Yu Wenlang's gold, she once said: There is a plague in Tanglin County, and the people are in need of money, so it is better to do good deeds with this money. It seems that she is really not a bad person, and she really took out the money to help the victims.
