From city to town, more and more people begged along the way.

Qin Lu looked at the little daughter-in-law, saw that the little daughter-in-law had a depressed face, and reached out to hold her hand, "Now you know why, am I going to bring down the imperial merchant first?" ”

"Did you let Guo Dabao exchange those gold and silver for rice and noodles?"

Qin Lu nodded, "Yes, it's on the way here." ”

Lin An'an exhaled a breath that had been stagnant for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The last days are similar to here. Many people were also starved to the point of detachment. ”

Qin Lu's eyes became distant, and his voice was a little hoarse: "No matter how hungry you are, you have the bottom line of being a human being, you attach importance to children and protect young children." And in the last life, it was so hungry that people ate people here, and finally ...... There is not a single child left. ”

Lin An'an's body stiffened.

What does that mean......

No children......

The law of the jungle eats the strong, and the child is the weak, becoming a ...... Fish.

"They...... Not worth saving. Lin An'an lowered his face, he didn't want Qin Lu to pay money and food to save these people in the future...... Animals that eat children.

She comes from the last days, and the last days are worse than here, there is not even water, there is just no food here. In the last days, people regard children as hope, as the hope of all mankind, even if they are crazy, they will protect children, and when they see children who are lonely in the last days, they will take them on a journey and send them to a safe place, but the people here actually eat children!

It's just crazy, it's not as good as a beast!

"In the future, there will always be a need for vanguards."

Hearing this, Lin Anan didn't react for a while, and when he reacted, his eyes widened suddenly, "You ......"

Qin Lu said indifferently: "Give them rice and grain first, leave their lives, and when it is time to go to war, it is also the time for them to charge forward and stand at the forefront." Food is not eaten for free, and there is always a price. The average vanguard army does not survive many people, it depends on their own luck. ”

Lin An'an: "......" suddenly felt a little sympathetic to these people.

Originally, she thought that Qin Saburo was kind, but it turned out to be another hidden chess move! It's about squeezing out the surplus value of these people!

Getting rid of the beggars who blocked the road and wouldn't give way without food, Qin Lu took Lin An'an into a winding path, avoiding people, and heading to a village.

When you walk out of the trail and look at it, the season when you are about to be busy with farming should be a piece of gold, but now, in front of you, there is a desolation, and there are no particles left in the field.

The locust plague is a kind of disaster that the peasants are most afraid of, whether it is a flood or a drought, it is impossible to run out of grains, at least they can get something from the ground, although it is a small amount, but at least there are still some of them.

But the plague of locusts means that there is really nothing left.

Lin Anan took a deep breath and remembered that the vegetables he planted in Guojia Village, although the roots were rotten, the vegetables on them could still be eaten when they were picked, but here......

"Locusts, I've seen them in books, and there are no locusts in the last days."

"Then you'll be able to see it soon." Qin Lu stretched out his hand, his fingers pointing in one direction.

As far as the eye could see, a black and dense crowd of locusts flew towards the top of the mountain.

As they flew by, the green trees on the hill turned bald.

Lin Anan opened his mouth slightly in surprise: "It's really delicious!" ”

Qin Lu took Lin An'an's hand, and the two walked through the barren fields and came to a wooden house.

This wooden house is very simple, and compared to Guojia Village, Lin An'an's rented wooden house is more dilapidated.

"Is there really a person living here?" Lin Anan asked.

Qin Lu nodded and knocked on the wooden door.
