Chapter Seventy-Eight: There Is No More to Eat

Zhu Yuan looked at the back of the guard who delivered the dry food and felt that this was not a solution.

Even if every family had dry food, without water, these people would not be able to survive, and they did not know how many days they would last.

"Lord Wang, it's getting late today, why don't you stay in the village tonight."

The nearest county is also a day and a half away, and she will definitely not be able to reach it today, so it is better to go to the village for a night first, and she can also study how to help these innocent people.

Ning Bosheng looked at the sky, nodded, and ordered the elite soldiers to camp outside the village, while he took Zhu Yuan and his personal guards to the village.

This night, Zhu Yuan and Ning Bosheng heard a lot of tragic things that made people feel heavy, there were old mothers in the family who secretly ate soil to fill their stomachs in order to have enough food for their children and grandchildren, and were supported to death by the soil, as well as women and children who were starved to death.

It turned out that their village plus the two villages next to it, because the city was far away, used to be self-sufficient, and they could only starve to death due to drought and famine.

The county doesn't care, and the people who went to the county to change food don't come back, if it weren't for King Rui as the inspector and envoy, passing through here, I don't know when anyone will remember their small village.

This night, after the famine, the people had eaten enough for the first time, and felt that their bodies had the motivation to persevere.

Because Zhu Yuan borrowed a people's stove and boiled a big pot of rice porridge for the people.

While starving for a long time, these people need water even more.

Zhu Yuan didn't care if anyone would think that the water she used to cook porridge was inexplicable, and she just wanted to let these innocent people live.

And she believed that God had sent her into this world and given her room to fish, not for her to take it for viewing.

It's night, and under the black night, the stars are so beautiful.

Zhu Yuan was lying on the bamboo bed under the window lattice, looking at the stars in the sky, but what flashed in front of him was the villagers holding porridge bowls, or grateful to Dade or hungry.

Closing his eyes, his mind turned, and Zhu Yuan entered the fishing space.

Ning Baibei was affected by the scene he saw today, pouting and squatting on the water, fiddling with his fingers one by one.

"Bai Bei, do you have a way to extract the salt from the sea?"

Prolonged dehydration can lead to weakness in the limbs, dizziness, and eventually death from dehydration.

When Zhu Yuan cooked porridge, he thought that he had a sea area to use, and now it was up to Ning Baibei to see if there was a way to extract the salt from the sea.

Then she boiled seawater and boiled salt by herself, and she didn't know that she would survive until the Year of the Monkey.

"Yes, but what's the use of salt?"

Ning Baibei raised his hand, sucked a handful of white crystals from the seawater area, and asked his mother with doubts on his little face.

Zhu Yuan was shocked by his hand, and pinched a little bit from his little fat hand in disbelief and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough, it's salt! Zhu Yuan's eyes widened, looking at Ning Baibei in front of him, and he felt that he really had a baby.

Zhu Yuan hugged Ning Baibei's face and asked, expectantly:

"Bai Bei, what else would you do? can help them. ”

"I can give them fish, I can make a river, and I can make rain...... "Ning Baibei counted his hands seriously.

"Rain? Can you control the rain? ”

When Zhu Yuan heard Ning Baibei say that it could rain, he immediately exclaimed, if it could rain, the drought would be solved, and there would naturally be no more famine after the drought was solved!

"No, it's just going to the roof and letting the water in the space fall from the sky."

Ning Baibei said embarrassedly, feeling that he was not as powerful as his mother said.

"Let's go, let's go out now."

It's too noticeable to change a fish and build a river, and it won't rain too much at night, after all, who can control "God"?

Zhu Yuan thought this method was simply fantastic, so he asked Ning Baibei to operate it that night, and asked it to fill the water tank in the villager's courtyard with water.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuan was woken up by the exclamations outside, knowing that it must have been raining outside and being discovered by someone who got up early, so he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

When Zhu Yuan got up and went out, he found that the villagers surrounded Ning Bosheng, and kept saying that the arrival of King Rui had brought them auspiciousness.

Zhu Yuan covered his snicker, and then pretended to be surprised, hearing from the villagers that it rained last night, and the water tanks in the courtyard were full, and they finally had water to drink.

Because they had to hurry, Zhu Yuan and Ning Bosheng didn't dare to delay, and left some food for the villagers, so they went on the road.

Being able to help the villagers, Zhu Yuan's mood is much better, and he always has a smile on his face.

It was only not long after they set off, and they found that there were hundreds of people standing on the road in front of them, although they all looked weak and crumbling, but after seeing them, they helped each other up.

Then they knelt down in unison and kowtowed and called:

"Rui Wang, help! King Rui, save us! ”

For a while, Zhu Yuan and Ning Bosheng and his party didn't understand what was going on.

"It's the brother from yesterday."

Ning Baibei pointed to a thin figure in the crowd and shouted.

Zhu Yuan and Ning Bosheng glanced at each other, and then they understood that it was probably after the child went back, and the villagers all went to the official road to ask King Rui for help.

Ning Bosheng looked at the people who were kneeling together, and asked Zhuo Ge beside him:

"How much more food is there?"

"It's not much, it's only enough for us for three days."

Zhuo Ge glanced at the elite soldiers and the frame containing the grain behind him, and replied.

The emperor sent 2,000 elite soldiers to protect King Rui and hurried lightly, but the household department only allocated so much relief food, could it be that these people are beaten with iron and don't need to eat and drink?

said that it was disaster relief food, but it was just a good word, and when the time came, there was nothing that could not solve the disaster, and it was not all the sin of their prince?

Ning Bosheng thought for a moment and said:

"Leave one day, and leave the rest to the villagers."

"Lord Wang!"

Zhuo Ge called out in disbelief, and even Zhu Yuan looked at Ning Bosheng, in such an embarrassing situation, he could still give food to the suffering people, I have to say that Ning Bosheng is responsible.

"Go ahead, it's only a day and a half away from the nearest county, that's enough."

Ning Bosheng waved his hand and asked Zhuo Ge to do as he said.

Unloading most of the grain to the villagers, Ning Bosheng and his party continued to move forward, leaving the villagers holding the grain and kowtowing.

......

After a long time, Ning Bosheng arranged for people to rest for a while, and a group of bandits rushed out to them.

The 2,000 elite soldiers saw that they were only a few dozen bandits, and they didn't care, but the arrows suddenly shot from the high hillside confused them.
