Chapter 513: Man Dead

As soon as the hot wontons came up, they attracted all of Bai Susu's attention.

The appetite that had just been lost suddenly returned to Bai Susu, and the heat of the wonton couldn't resist her enthusiasm at all.

Listening to the sound of her walking and eating, even the officers and soldiers who came out after eating and drinking next to her couldn't help but scream in their stomachs.

I had no choice but to ask the boss of my stall for a bowl of noodles, and I ate it too, listening to the cheerful voice over there, even the noodles that had no taste became delicious.

Bai Susu did eat a round belly, and even Chu Hengyu saw that she was not enough to eat, so he deliberately dialed half of the bowl for her in advance.

"Boss, your wontons are really good, and the business is not bad, right?"

After Bai Susu finished eating, he chatted with the boss who was cleaning up the table on the side.

The smile on the boss's face was forced.

If he hadn't had some food at home, and he had no livelihood because of the drought, he wouldn't have come out to sell food here.

At this time, the food is expensive, in case the situation is not right one day, he can still take the family and bring more food to the deep mountains and old forests, how can he last a few more days.

But the elderly in the family can't save money for medicine, so they can only take risks.

I don't know if someone will secretly target their family and steal food in the middle of the night.

"What good business is there in this disaster year? It's up to God to let us get better. ”

The boss sighed and continued to wipe the table.

After he wiped the table again, it was not cleaner, but it was stained with moisture and brighter under the lantern.

The night breeze swept the heat in his face, and Bai Susu's heart, which was happy because of eating, also became hot.

Looking at the sky with few stars, my heart is even more depressed.

In the end, it is the people who suffer in the end, and the big families left after the drought will only exploit the people's money, food and even labor force even more, and can only make the gap between the rich and the poor wider.

I don't know how many years it will take to get back to the way it is now.

"But fortunately, our prefect has come up with a way to provide relief through work, so that those homeless people have something to do, and it also saves them from being idle all day long."

Bai Susu nodded absentmindedly.

Leaving the money for the boss, he followed Chu Hengyu aimlessly, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of the prefect's house.

"Let's go and rest first, otherwise we won't have the energy tomorrow, and when things get better here, we will be able to leave, and we will reach the northernmost side as soon as possible and complete the task as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Bai Susu dragged himself back to the room, and woke up groggily and groggily.

Fortunately, as Chu Hengyu said, after a good night's sleep, the feeling of last night has faded, and he recovered his spirit early this morning.

It's just that the prefect's attitude towards her has changed dramatically in just one night?

Even when she called Chu Hengyu to discuss the matter, she didn't ask her to wait on the sidelines, you must know that they were talking happily yesterday.

Chu Hengyu's face was not good when he came out of the study, and he directly left the prefect behind him and ignored it, stepped forward and shouted Bai Susu and walked towards the city wall.

With the homeless people working hard, the originally quiet Fucheng seems to have returned to its former liveliness.

Even the officers and soldiers who helped were talking and laughing with the displaced people, and there was harmony.

Chu Hengyu's heart was finally much more relaxed.

Looking at the construction site not far away, Tong Bai Susu said that he would leave tomorrow.

Bai Susu didn't understand what was going on, but the prefect came running behind her, saying that he wanted to discuss with her the details of this disaster relief matter.

Chu Hengyu intended to stop him, but Bai Susu didn't notice his resistance at all, and hurriedly pacified him and went to talk to the prefect.

He was even more focused on what he was talking about, and he didn't find the prefect's small movements.

Chu Hengyu was just a little late when he arrived in front of her, and the prefect had already signaled for someone to make a move.

"Be careful!"

Fortunately, Baizhu happened to pass by, and he pulled Bai Susu aside, so that the falling stone did not fall on Bai Susu.

"How's it going, what's the injury?"

Chu Hengyu hurriedly stepped forward to ask, pulled Bai Susu to look around, and only dared to block her behind him after he didn't find a problem.

When facing the prefect, Chu Hengyu didn't have so much patience.

"Guo Jieshen, Lord Guo, this official has already told you this morning, how can the people around this official have their own judgment, if you dare to do anything to the people around this official, be careful of yourself."

"Lord Chu, I"

"Let's go."

Chu Hengyu didn't bother to listen to his defense, and pulled Bai Susu and walked back, he still felt scared when he thought about what had just happened.

If it weren't for Baizhu who happened to be by his side, would it be that Bai Susu would really be hit on the head by that falling rock and break his blood, Guo Jieshen would just have to classify the matter as an accident, but he would have to lose this elfty and eccentric girl forever, not to mention how he should face her parents when he returned to Kyoto.

Bai Susu didn't react to what was going on the whole time, but he also clearly felt Guo Jie's malice, and suddenly he didn't have the heart to deal with it.

It's just why did she look at Chu Hengyu and seem to be more worried than her?

"In the future, I don't want others to take you away by just finding a topic, now you are a maid by my side, and I have to say where you want to go."

Chu Hengyu held his breath in his heart, and his tone when he spoke to Bai Susu was inevitably a little rushed.

Fortunately, Bai Susu knew his intentions, and pulling Chu Hengyu's arm was a coquette.

"Okay, I'll have to ask for your permission for everything I want to do in the future, okay?"

"If only you knew."

Chu Heng continued to walk forward angrily, but his pace slowed down more than a little bit compared to just now, so that Bai Susu could keep up even if he walked slowly.

But before the two of them could completely leave the vicinity of the city wall, they heard a scream behind them.

Bai Susu subconsciously turned around, Chu Hengyu, who saw the scene first, had already covered her eyes in time, and only after the officers and soldiers cleaned up the scene did Chu Hengyu let go.

Guo Jie's body was not as white as Bai Susu, so he quickly lifted his robe and ran to see the situation of the homeless people.

Looking at the high city walls again, he could only shake his head and let people carry his body away.

The family members of the displaced people who came to inquire insisted on not letting them go, but they could not stop the able-bodied officers and soldiers, so they could only be pulled aside as if they were half-dragged.

Guo Jieshen tried to let the homeless people continue to work and deal with the matter himself.

But the death of this homeless person was like a stone breaking the calm water, and the remaining homeless people also put down their things one after another, and surrounded them, and they must see the outcome of the matter.

When Chu Hengyu took Bai Susu over, he deliberately blocked her behind him.

I'm afraid that when she sees the bloody appearance of the man, she will have a high fever when she goes back.

"Lord Chu."

Guo Jie bowed to Chu Hengyu and stopped talking, obviously wanting to push the matter to Chu Hengyu, but how could Chu Hengyu answer?

took a step back and let Guo Jie go to the front.

"Although Lord Guo deals with it, the official is watching from the sidelines just so that you can give justice to the people."

These words made Guo Jie a little unable to get off the stage.
