Hongling looked up from the table with satisfaction after eating a meal, although Bai Ju had no appetite, he still ate a few bites, only Chen Jinye looked at the table with a sad face, but it was difficult to swallow.

Seeing this, Hong Ling sighed slightly and said, "You don't have to be so melancholy, if you come, you will be safe, now that you have come, aren't you determined to reverse all this."

Chen Jinye glanced at Hongling and said slowly: "Having said that, the images of those victims suffering in my mind have always been difficult to shake away, thinking of them, and seeing these meals again, how can I swallow with peace of mind?" ”。

Hong Ling has never seen Chen Jinye like this, the dark eyes under his slightly twisted thick eyebrows are shining with sparkling waves at this time, as soon as I come to Xicheng today, I will see that tragic scene, this will be a lingering nightmare for any benevolent and virtuous person, Hong Ling pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and secretly congratulated that she met Chen Jinye instead of Chen Jinsong.

"Since we don't want to eat, then we won't eat it, why don't we go out and walk around early in the morning, maybe we will find some way, how about it?"

Chen Jinye bowed slightly, and motioned for one of the maids to lead the way out of the mansion, Hong Ling and Bai Ju followed behind Chen Jinye, secretly looking at the structure of the mansion of the feudal king, from this dilapidated and deserted small courtyard came out of the side door that could enter and exit the mansion, this is the layout that Hong Ling likes very much, such a location is simply a free outpost, but on the other hand, it also reflects Chen Jinsong's lack of attention to Chen Jinye, Hong Ling puffed out her cheeks slightly, and a sullen mood rose in her heart, When he thought that Chen Jinye was not taken seriously, he felt a little uneven in his heart, and he no longer had the heart to look at the building next to him.

Out of the side door, this is an alley, but unlike what Fang just saw on the street, not only is there not a single victim here, but the road surface is clean and no different from the house, Hong Ling couldn't help but snort coldly.

Chen Jinye glanced at her sideways, "What's wrong?" ”。

Hong Ling slightly retracted her cheeks, and glanced back at the alley coldly, "It can be seen that the eldest prince cares about his surroundings very much, Rao is the alley adjacent to this mansion, and he can't tolerate a trace of uncleanness and chaos."

Chen Jinye followed Hongling's gaze and stared deeply at the alley, and then slowly turned around and walked towards the road step by step.

Standing at the junction of the main road and the alley, the three of them all looked in the direction where they had just gone from the city gate to the vassal king's mansion, and they didn't know what happened to the hungry refugees, but the three of them also had a tacit understanding that none of them proposed to go in that direction.

They have nothing now, nothing can be done for those refugees, and now all they can see in the past is more and more miserable scenes, gratuitously bringing hope to the victims, and then smashing them hard, there is nothing more cruel than this.

"Baiju, how far is the dam from here?"

"Lord Qiqi, if you don't say anything, you have to travel for half a day"

Chen Jinye frowned slightly, Hongling was also in trouble, where should she go? In this way, the three of them stood for a long time on the fork in the road, neither speaking nor moving.

Finally, Chen Jinye bowed his head slightly, as if he had made some firm determination, "Go to the refugees."

Hongling was a little surprised and asked, "Why?" Aren't you afraid that they will surround you again? ”。

I saw Chen Jinye staring at himself fixedly, as if asking and answering, and said, "You want to go there too."

Hongling couldn't help but settle down and secretly asked herself if she wanted to go there too, but the answer she got was always a little vague, if we went, what we brought with us might be more disappointing for the disaster victims, because we had no food, but what if we brought more hope with us? Will it help them survive a few more days?

Seeing Hongling lowering her eyelids and biting her lip strugglingly, Chen Jinye slowly turned around and went in the direction of the victims.

Bai Ju hurriedly tugged at the corner of Hongling's clothes, and then quickly followed, looking at Chen Jinye's back firmly in the direction of the refugee, Hongling couldn't help but sigh and couldn't help but slowly turn the corners of her mouth up, perhaps, his choice was right......

Faced with the three people who had gone and returned, the victims immediately flocked to surround the three of them, their eyes flashing with strange excitement, constantly begging and flattering, hoping that the god-like three people in front of them would give alms again.

Chen Jinye looked at the group of people in front of him solemnly, and after glancing around, he slowly walked towards a thin man, Chen Jinye helped him up, "Do you still have some strength?" ”。

Hearing Chen Jinye's words, the man immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes."

Chen Jinye helped him to the center of the circle slightly, and then said solemnly to the refugees in a low voice: "I am an official sent by the royal city to help you, I implore you to bear with me for a few more days, I will definitely persuade the prince of the domain to open a warehouse for disaster relief", Chen Jinye's words fell, and there was a sigh from the crowd.

"It's useless..."

"The officials of Wangcheng who came last month and last month also said so, but it's not true..."

"Pity my son is less than half a year old, and he will starve to death with me......"

Even the man who had just been pulled up by Chen Jinye next to the three of them slowly turned to ashes in his eyes, not that the victims didn't want to believe it, but they couldn't believe it anymore, if they hadn't believed the words of those officers and soldiers two months ago, they might have been begging for a living elsewhere earlier, not that people are not ghosts and ghosts now, wandering the streets all day long, praying that they can meet passing merchants for a meal and a half.

The funny thing is that since the accident in Xicheng, after a few businessmen occasionally came to bring back the situation here, everyone was willing to come again, and now, what hope could they have?

Hongling couldn't bear to see them look so hopeless in life, and almost blurted out: "Starting tomorrow, we will bring some food every day, and we won't let you starve to death!" ”。

Chen Jinye and Bai Ju looked at Hong Ling in shock, Hong Ling blinked a little weakly, but her words really had a miraculous effect, and the eyes of the victims who were sitting on the side with their heads hung down and lamenting flashed a strange light again, which was really a light of hope.

Hong Ling's heart was empty for less than half a second, so she immediately made up her mind, and then leaned into Chen Jinye's ear and urged: "What do you want to do just now, talk about it now, and we will discuss the matter of delivering food when we go back."

Chen Jinye glanced at Hongling helplessly, shook his head helplessly and dotingly, and then said to everyone: "I came today to understand some of your living environment first, just let this little brother take me, and the rest of you please save some physical strength and rest, don't get together here again."

After everyone got Hongling's promise, they were already very stable, coupled with Chen Jinye's careful reassurance, they scattered even more cooperatively, Chen Jinye turned around with satisfaction and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”。

"Just call me Little Four"

Hong Ling was startled by this crisp voice, the dry, dirty man in front of her was still a child?

Chen Jinye was also slightly stunned when he heard his voice, "How old are you?" ”。

"Ten years old"

"Are you the fourth in the family?" , Hongling couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Right"

"That's... Your family...", Hong Ling asked cautiously.

The little boy barely hesitated, "I'm the only one left."

Hongling didn't dare to ask any more, so she quickly lowered her eyelashes, pursed her mouth and took a half step back, the child was very clever and saw the silent meaning of the three people in front of him, and immediately explained: "They are still alive, but they left me when they left two months ago."

Chen Jinye saw that Hongling wanted to speak and stopped, so he immediately raised his hand and patted the little boy's shoulder, and said, "Little Si, you can take us to the place where the water source is."

Xiao Si was not verbose, and immediately led the three of them to the largest well in Xicheng, which was the largest post station in Xicheng before, but now it is dilapidated, and there is only such a big well left in the empty courtyard.

When he arrived at the well, Chen Jinye first went to the wellhead to smell it slightly, and then picked up the bucket of hanging water at hand and made a large bucket of water, and sniffed it closer, and then probed into the well water that had just been hit with his hand and stirred it, and then slowly spread his eyebrows and paced back a few steps.

"Is there a river around here?"

Xiao Si frowned and rolled his eyes to think for a while, and said: "I don't remember what river there is, the closest to here is the Xicheng River, but it takes more than half a day to get there."

Hong Ling glanced at Bai Ju suspiciously, Bai Ju gave Hong Ling an exact look, the Xicheng River described by Xiao Si is where the dam is located, but why did Chen Jinye suddenly remember to ask this question.

After listening to Xiao Si's words, Chen Jinye frowned slightly and asked, "You have been hungry for so long, haven't you thought about going to the river to catch fish?" ”。

"Can't go! Can't go! Everyone said that the river god was furious, and now was the day to accept people, so he didn't dare to go casually! ”

Fishing? Hong Ling immediately became excited and couldn't care about the horror on Xiao Si's wrinkled face, if she could catch more fish, then she didn't need to worry about the problem of no food, obviously, Chen Jinye had thought of this method early, only to see him calmly pointing to the well in front of him with his chin behind his back.

"You don't have to go to Xicheng River, there is it in this well"

"What!?"

Hongling, Bai Ju, and Xiaosi were all shocked by Chen Jinye's words, there were fish in this well!?

"It's not just this well, I guess, it's found in all the wells in the city"

Listening to Chen Jinye's words, Xiao Si couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his eyes were about to burst out......
