Although Hexian is a small county seat, the place is quite large, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a wharf.

Due to the influence of the flood season, they did not take the waterway and chose the land route, even if it was slower, but the scenery along the road was enough to pass the time.

"What's going on in River County right now?" Fu Rongxue leaned against the window and looked out, without looking back.

"It's not good, the money is gone, the houses in the city are damaged, and the people can only stay in tents outside the city temporarily." Ye Hui frowned, and in his hand was the news that the secret guard inquired about, which was even more serious than he said.

Fu Rongxue sighed, not even in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside.

It was almost noon before they arrived in River County, and not far away they could see rows of tents, with firewood burned out last night in front of them.

"These are the people affected by the disaster in the surrounding area, and the county is already full, so they are located outside the city."

The guard explained in a whisper that he was also affected by the disaster at home when he was a child, but fortunately he was rescued by the prince, so he has the life he has today.

"And after that? The prefectural order didn't say how to arrange them? Fu Rongxue then asked, if the refugees are not handled properly, it is easy to riot, especially if they are locked outside the city, which will give them the illusion that the court has abandoned them.

"I haven't heard of this yet." The guards replied that their investigation was also very limited.

"Advanced City." Ye Huiming raised her hand to stop her questioning, and about a mile away from the city gate, they got out of the carriage and entered the city.

The situation in the city was chaotic, and he turned his head and admonished: "Follow me closely, don't run around."

In order to survive, refugees can do anything, and Ye Huiming came a day in advance to see the most real side, and even the clothes on her body were changed into the most simple kind.

But after entering the city, Fu Rongxue felt that their outfit was very eye-catching, and the streets and alleys here were full of straw shops, all of them were skinny, vigilant and envious looking at them.

Fu Rongxue was frightened by their eyes, and shrank closer to Ye Huiming.

"They're a little ......," Fu Rongxue whispered, tugging at his sleeve in embarrassment.

The guards crept closer, forming an encirclement.

"The old lady is okay, pity us, give us something to eat."

Suddenly, a group of children swarmed up and surrounded them, and the guards were helpless, and the other party was all children, and they could not do anything.

"Don't hurt the child." Fu Rongxue whispered, but the strength of these children was more than she expected, and some of them got under the waist of the guards and grabbed her clothes.

"Don't worry, be careful." Fu Rongxue shouted loudly, and Ye Huiming was by her side to prevent her from being injured.

Fu Rongxue was knocked down, and there was a pain in her waist, she screamed softly, turned her head to look, and a black shadow flashed, followed by a group of children to rob.

"Can't give." Ye Hui Ming whispered, there are more eyes staring in the dark, once they give, there will only be more people.

The guards retreated until they were in the corner, and the children seemed to know that they were not coming, so they all left.

The group was extremely embarrassed, Fu Rongxue and Ye Huiming looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect that on the first day, the biggest difficulty was caused by the child.

Fu Rongxue crossed her waist with one hand, and was just about to speak, when her face suddenly changed: "My purse is gone, which of you has seen my purse?" ”

It contained a lot of silver tickets, which were their living expenses here, and now they have lost them. Suddenly thinking of the moment when she was hit in the crowd just now, she said firmly: "Someone hit me just now, it should be him who stole my purse."

Ye Hui frowned, thinking deeper: "Those children just now also have problems, they are very purposeful."

Although they are clearly the masters, if they are really refugees, they should be asked along with the guards, not just ask them individually.

"The child was instructed by someone?" Fu Rongxue asked, touching her chin, no matter what, she should get her purse back first.

She apologized guiltily: "It's all my fault, putting all the money on me."

"It's none of your business, let's find a purse first."

Ye Huiming rubbed her soft hair, turned around and grabbed the child dangling beside her.

"Little friend, tell my uncle, who told you to do this?"

The boy looked shrewd, turned around, and asked him, "Is it any good if I tell you?"

"Hahaha, this kid is still a businessman, and he doesn't forget to ask for benefits."

The child licked his dry mouth, turned a deaf ear to Fu Rongxue's words, and stared at Ye Huiming tightly, this beautiful sister has no money on her, maybe the uncle still has a little.

Ye Huiming didn't know that the child had already given them a bad relationship in his heart, and took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket like a trick.

Shuangshuang sometimes makes trouble unreasonably, he uses this method to coax people well, and over time, he has developed the habit of carrying sugar on his body.

The child's longing eyes stared at the candy in his hand, and his father was reluctant to buy him this kind of good candy before the house was flooded, let alone now.

"Do you want it?" Ye Huiming continued to coax, how could a child be the opponent of the old fox.

"Deal, I don't know that person, but he ran in that direction after stealing something, it's too late for you to chase after him now." After the child finished speaking, he was afraid that his uncle would regret it, so he snatched the candy and ran away.

"Little one, I'm going to give him some more, it's really fast." Ye Huiming couldn't cry or laugh, Fu Rongxue helplessly poked his shoulder and motioned him to look to the side.

Quite a few children had already noticed them, staring at his palms.

"How many more? It's all divided. Fu Rongxue said, the eyes of these children made her feel distressed.

Ye Huiming emptied his pocket, leaving one of the guards to share the sugar, and the rest followed him in the direction the child pointed.

There were fewer and fewer people on the road, and it was not until the end that I realized that it was a dense forest, and there was no road ahead.

"We're going in the wrong direction?" Fu Rongxue frowned and asked, but there was no place to hide people around.

"Keep looking, there will be a way." Yehui said in a deep voice, and the guards were looking for it at the side, and after a while, they found a path.

As they walked through the dense forest, Fu Rongxue was shocked by the scene in front of them, which was densely packed with people, more than they had seen outside the city, and even more impoverished.

The refugees watched them numbly as they arrived, Fu Rongxue glanced at them roughly, and immediately found a familiar face in the crowd.

"He was the one who hit me." Fu Rongxue pointed at the man.

Ye Huiming took advantage of the situation, the other party was staring at him, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said loudly: "Your people have taken our purses, and please ask the steward to come out and speak."

Everyone looked at each other, and even faintly heard a distinct laugh.

Soon an old man came out of the crowd tremblingly, and he was on crutches: "Your money will be honored to the river god in the future, this is your honor, and the river god will bless you."

Fu Rongxue looked up in surprise, didn't she hear it right? There are still people who believe in legends such as river gods.
