"Why did you return the sword?" Ning Bosheng gave it to Zhu Yuan in the hope that she could have the ability to protect herself, after all, he couldn't stay by her side all the time.

Zhu Yuan hesitated for a while, then took out the dagger and showed it to Ning Bosheng, "I don't need it, it's better to give it to the prince." ”

"It's the same material?" Ning Bosheng touched it lightly and found that the dagger was special.

Zhu Yuan nodded, but did not explain where her dagger came from. Ning Bosheng guessed that she didn't want to say, so he didn't continue to ask.

It was dark, and there was no light in Zhu Yuan's house, and he couldn't see his five fingers. When I walked back, I accidentally stepped on a stone protruding from the ground, and my feet fell to the side.

When he felt hugged by Ning Bosheng again, Zhu Yuan didn't know what to say.

She fell around all night, as if she was throwing herself into her arms.

Ning Bosheng didn't rush to let go of her this time, it is estimated that he was also confused by Zhu Yuan's situation, worried that as soon as he let go, she would fall again.

Zhu Yuan's whole body was surrounded by his breath, and the flush that had just faded resurfaced.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any signs of Ning Bosheng letting go of her. Zhu Yuan could only remind him in a whisper, "Lord Wang." ”

Ning Bosheng suddenly came back to his senses, coughed lightly, let her go, and took a step back in order to avoid embarrassment. Carefully told her, "The night is too dark, be careful of your step." ”

There is no need for him to remind him, Zhu Yuan used twelve points of caution this time, so as not to let himself fall into ambiguity again.

"I'm going to take someone to inspect Taihe Water City tomorrow, do you want to go with me?" Ning Bosheng was temporary, he didn't plan to take Zhu Yuan with him, because he didn't know what the situation was like in Taihe Water City, and he couldn't do it if he brought a girl's family to danger.

Zhu Yuan is an idle character, so she never thought of staying in the prefect's mansion alone. After Ning Bosheng asked, he agreed without thinking about it, "I'll go with the prince tomorrow,"

The quick answer made Ning Bosheng think that they were not going to a drought-stricken town, but a fun market.

"But I want to bring Bai Bei with me, can I?" Zhu Yuan still remembered that Bai Bei said that only she could solve the famine in Taihe, and bringing him with him might help.

Ning Bosheng frowned slightly, "Shuicheng is the place where the drought is most severe, there may be riots among the people, Bai Bei is still a child, it is better to leave him here." ”

"Daddy, I'm not going to make a mess." Ning Bosheng's words were heard by Bai Bei, and he immediately showed that he was very well-behaved and would definitely follow Zhu Yuan firmly.

Ning Bosheng looked at the big one and the small one helplessly, "We are going to inspect, not to play." Danger may be encountered. ”

"I'm not afraid, I can still protect my mother." Bai Bei swears by it.

Ning Bosheng had no choice but to go to see Zhu Yuan, hoping that she would dispel the idea of taking Bai Bei with her.

"Lord Wang, Bei Bei is very powerful, she really won't be fine, and she won't cause trouble for you." Zhu Yuan made up his mind to bring Bai Bei with him.

If Ning Bosheng didn't agree all the time, she would take it quietly, anyway, if Bai Bei hid in the fishing space, no one would find out.

In the final result, Ning Bosheng couldn't say more than two people by himself, so he could only nod and agree.

Early the next morning, Ning Bosheng waited outside, and only got into the carriage when Zhu Yuan and Bai Bei came.

Shuicheng is not very far from the state prefect, and if you want a carriage, it only takes a few hours to arrive.

Before he arrived at his destination, Zhu Yuan saw that there were refugees everywhere, and there were children crying with hunger, and it was useless for his mother to coax him. Later, she saw the woman holding the baby cut through her wizened wrist and fed the blood to the crying baby.

"I want to go down." Zhu Yuan brought dry food, she wanted to give the mother and son, human blood can only give the baby a temporary sense of satiety, and women can't keep bleeding, which will make her die.

Ning Bosheng guessed her thoughts, shook his head at her, and didn't let the carriage stop.

Zhu Yuan was puzzled, she knew that Ning Bosheng was not a cold-hearted person.

Ning Bosheng's slender and good-looking fingers pointed at the piles of refugees not far away, "We don't have much dry food with us, if you give it to the mother and son, do you know what will happen next?" ”

Is there anything more terrible than starving to death? Zhu Yuan quickly understood what he meant.

If Ning Bosheng hadn't stopped her, even if she gave the dry food to the mother and son, they wouldn't be able to keep it, but it would attract other people to rob them, and this dry food might kill them.

"But if she continues to feed her own blood to his children, she will die too." The scene just now seemed to be engraved in Zhu Yuan's mind, and he couldn't forget it no matter what.

Ning Bosheng lowered the curtain of the carriage to isolate the tragic scene outside, "Only by thinking of a way as soon as possible can we save all the refugees." ”

He didn't save one, he saved everyone.

Since then, Zhu Yuan has never looked out.

Taihe Water City, named Water City, actually has not a drop of water. There are refugees inside and outside the city.

Several people jumped out of the carriage, and Zhu Yuan found that there were many cracks in the land, and there was no grass, let alone crops, which had already died due to drought.

"At this level, it should not have rained in months." One of them said.

The first few months are the time when the crops are growing, and the rain is very bad, and if there is not even a drop of water, you can imagine what the consequences will be.

And that's not all, because there has been no rain for months, the lake next to the water city has dried up, and there is no water coming out of the well. Soon, the people here were not only deprived of food, but also water.

If there is no food, there is still the help of the imperial court, but there is no way to have rice and clean water.

"Isn't there a good way?" Zhu Yuan knew that he could bring water from other places, but now he probably doesn't have that kind of technology.

The doorman all shook their heads, their eyes revealing pleading, looking at the scorching sun above their heads, "Unless it rains heavily, there is no other way." ”

Resourceful doormen are also at a loss.

The sun can almost roast people, Zhu Yuanguang sweated all over when he stood up, in such weather, will it really rain?

Whether it can rain or not depends on God's will, and for a while, everyone's face was worried.

Zhu Yuan stood next to Bai Bei, she would not pin her hopes on the ethereal providence. She thought to herself, if they could use the fishing space to rain, would they have fulfilled their wish?

But how to implement this and whether it can be successful, Zhu Yuan has no bottom in his heart.

At this moment, a group of refugees with chapped lips and thin yellow muscles, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, surrounded Ning Bosheng and them, and the words in their mouths took away a thick accent, which Zhu Yuan couldn't understand.
