"Where did you find that kid?" Xie Yan looks pretty good, you can cultivate it.

"Oh, you said Xiao Qi, didn't you let us go to the barracks to save people not long ago, Xiao Qi is the younger brother of one of them!" Ji Cheng explained.

"Oh, by the way, I'm here today just to let you take me to see those people!" Speaking of this, Xie Yan remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Good! I'll take you there! Ji Cheng still remembered that Xia Cangxun had helped them a lot, and as far as this matter was concerned, he had a good impression of him.

Just except for something......

Walking to the door of the store, Ji Cheng turned back to Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, I have something to do, I have to go out first, you can take care of the store here!" ”

"Good! Just leave it to me! Hu Qi said with an oath.

"You kid! Don't talk too much! Ji Cheng scolded with a smile.

Ji Cheng walked ahead to lead the way, and the three of them left the small pawnshop.

Along the way, the streets slowly became desolate from bustling, and the people became more and more sparse, and the mood of the three of them became heavy little by little.

Xia Cangxun couldn't help but ask, "Where is this going?" Why is it so desolate? ”

Indeed, as Xia Cangxun said, everything here is very desolate, although there are small alleys everywhere, but there are few people.

Occasionally, I saw one or two people, all of whom were ragged, like beggars, except that their faces were relatively clean.

"There are poor people here who don't have much skills, and some criminals who have been exiled here! That's pretty much the way most people's lives are. Ji Cheng explained.

"Isn't Yanjing good? How could it be a place of exile? Xie Yan was a little puzzled when he heard Ji Cheng say this.

Ji Cheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, just looked at Xia Cangxun.

Xia Cangxun was silent for a while, and said, "Before I came, this place was indeed very barren. This is the northernmost part of Daqin, and there are not a few days of warmth throughout the year. In addition, the land is barren and there is too little food production. As a result, many people here do not have enough to eat!

"Then I came here and started to change all that, and I thought, this is a transportation hub, a meeting point for nations.

"So, I opened the gates of the city, and let the merchants of all countries come and go freely, and bring the people here to make money together."

"In just two years, this place has developed really well!" To be honest, Xie Yan praised Xia Cangxun very much, she, the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, might not be able to develop in such a place within two years!

It's just that she also guessed the situation behind this.

"After everything was slowly getting better, I didn't take care of it myself, but handed it over to the people below. Unexpectedly, it turns out that now, there are still people outside here who are the same as before! Xia Cangxun blamed himself a little.

"And what you didn't expect!" Ji Cheng stabbed lukewarmly.

"What do you mean?" Xie Yan asked.

Xia Cangxun also looked at Ji Cheng suspiciously, and his heart jumped inexplicably.

"We'll find out later!" Ji Cheng didn't say anything, he wanted him to see everything for himself!

The three of them quickened their pace, and after a while, the number of people around them began to increase, but they were still in rags, and everyone's faces were either numb or desperate, and few people had smiles on their faces.

Xia Cangxun's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

He thought that under his governance, there were no more people in the entire Yanjing who could not eat enough! Unexpectedly, in the depths of Yanjing City, there are still so many people living so hard!

"How's it going?" Ji Cheng squinted at Xia Cangxun.

Xia Cangxun didn't speak, just looked at those people one by one.

"Lao Deng, do you have any medicine at home! My little girl got sick yesterday! A swarthy man took another man's hand and begged.

"What medicine can I have in my house! My mother is like that, and she doesn't have any medicine to eat! The old Deng shook off the man's hand, turned and left.

The man went to ask another person and got the same result.

The people in this are either old singles, they have nothing, they have families, and there will always be one or two people in the family who are sick, but there is no medicine......

Xie Yan was about to go over to help the man, but was stopped by Ji Cheng.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yan looked at Ji Cheng.

"There are a lot of people like him here, you helped this one, and there are many next, you can't help it!" Ji Cheng persuaded.

At first, he wanted to help them, but gradually found that there were too many people in need of help.

Even, some people will feel resentful when they know that you helped another person but didn't help him!

"Let's go!"

Afraid of seeing more of these people, the three of them walked very fast, and after a while, they arrived at their destination.

Xie Yan stood at the door, looking at this small courtyard, the door, and the places that could be seen around were all old, even a little dilapidated.

Xia Cangxun felt very uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng entered the small courtyard and knocked on one of the doors.

"Knock knock—"

"Thorn-" Someone came to open the door, a crisp voice, "who is it?" ”

It was a little girl with pale skin who came to open the door.

"Yaoyao, it's me!" Ji Cheng squatted down and looked at Yaoyao and said.

"It's Brother Ji!" Yaoyao ran out happily.

Today she is the only one, her mother and brother have gone out, she is so bored.

"I've brought you another sister and another brother today! Would you like to see them? Ji Cheng took out a handful of candy from his arms and put it in Yaoyao's palm.

"Will that sister and brother also give Yaoyao candy?" Yaoyao peeled off a piece of candy in her hand, shook it, and fed it to her mouth.

"Yes! As long as it's something Yaoyao wants, they'll give it to you! ”

"Then Yaoyao wants to see them!" Yaoyao smiled sweetly and behaved.

"Okay, let's go, let's go pick them up!" Ji Cheng took Yaoyao's hand and walked to the gate of the courtyard together.

Xie Yan looked at Yaoyao's thin body, and felt a little distressed.

"Yaoyao, this is the sister and brother I told you." Ji Cheng pointed at Xia Cangxun and Xie Yan.

"Sister! Brother! Yaoyao's sweet voice instantly made Xie Yan's heart melt.

Xia Cangxun couldn't help but feel sorry for the child.

"How old is Yaoyao this year?" Xie Yan squatted down and looked at Yaoyao levelly.

"Yaoyao is eight years old this year!" Yaoyao let go of Ji Cheng's hand and compared eight fingers.

Xie Yan and Xia Cangxun were shocked, they both thought that Yaoyao was only five or six years old, but they didn't expect that she was already eight years old!

But she is only such a small one, I don't know what kind of suffering she has suffered, so she can be like this!

"Really? Can Yaoyao take us in to see your house? Xie Yan learned Yaoyao's tone.

"Okay!" Yaoyao remembered that Brother Ji said that her sister would give her candy.

When a few people arrived at the house, Xie Yan and Xia Cangxun were shocked again, this can be described as a family with four walls!

"Yaoyao, is this your room?" Xia Cang found that there was only one bed in this room.

"Yes! It's also a mother's room! Yaoyao sat on the bed, dangling her calves, playing with the candy in her hand.

"Where does my brother live?" Xie Yan remembered that Yaoyao said just now that she had a brother.

"Brother lives outside!" Yaoyao pointed outside, it was under the windowsill.

If you look closely, it turns out that there is a quilt there, but because it is too narrow, if you don't look closely, you really won't see it!

Xie Yan thought that she had seen people who had suffered before, but she didn't expect that this suffering was also someone outside the world!

Xie Yan took Yaoyao's hand and checked her pulse, and found that Yaoyao's heart was extremely fragile!

"Yaoyao want to hang out with us?" Xie Yan wanted to take Yaoyao out for treatment, because Yaoyao's current situation was too dangerous!

Yaoyao shook her head, "I'm going to wait for my brother and mother to come back!" ”
