Fu Yuan looked at the figure that was fading away. Thoughts couldn't help but drift gradually. I don't know. How is she now?

took out the jade pendant hidden in the cuffs, and then squeezed it tightly in his hand.

This time, he won't let go. This time, he wants to protect her with dignity. This time, he won't allow himself to continue to be cowardly.

Please, wait for me. Please, wait for me. Wait until I'm strong enough to stand by your side and protect you.

…

Nancheng County Ya

"Ah Feng, is there any news?" Shangguan Ling said, looking at Ling Feng, who had just returned from outside.

However, after seeing Ling Feng come back with a wet look, his brows furrowed unconsciously. Is this, falling into the water?

Shangguan Ling just wanted to ask why, but saw him suddenly look at Wanquan on the side. Forthwith. The face on the face stinks.

"Uncle Wan, is there hot water?" Ling Feng said, bowing the wet corners of his clothes.

"Yes, come with me." Wan Quan said, leading Ling Feng to the back room.

Shangguan Ling didn't know what Ling Feng encountered when he went out today, but it should be quite troublesome to think about it. Otherwise, the expression on his face would not be so strange.

After Shangguan Ling returned to his house for a long time, Ling Feng belatedly entered the house.

Seeing Ling Feng coming in, Shangguan Ling quickly turned his body in a different direction. Immediately, he looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing this, the expression on Ling Feng's face changed. It seems to be a bit complicated, but there's no denying that the food really stinks right now.

However, looking at the sight of the person in front of him, there was a little more inquiry.

That face seemed to say - you really, let me say?

Shangguan Ling didn't know why, but he just felt that he should let himself know about the current situation. During the day today, he knew some things about the county government from his mouth.

As for Ling Feng, he sent him to the town to investigate. Since they are ready to meddle in this matter, it is natural that they need to share information in order to have a good exchange.

Otherwise, isn't that useless work? Blocking the way of thinking and making it into a closed alley of thought?

"Otherwise, I'll talk about it first. Today, I inquired with Uncle Quan about the affairs of the county government and found that the reason for the decline of the county government is that the disaster relief funds have not come down.

As soon as I did, I noticed that the traffic and economy were not as good as I did.

But in fact, the imperial court allocated funds to some not very good towns. And here, in fact, has always been rich.

So, you know what I mean? Shangguan Ling said, slowly looking at Ling Feng on the side.

When Ling Feng heard this, a hint of desire flashed across his face. In fact, judging from the situation in the capital next door, even if the people's living prosperity has not been achieved, it should be almost the same.

After all, in such a place, it is not the labor force that is used to sustain it. But here, there is no such thing as labor.

Because here, there are all old and weak women and children. At least, there were some signs of it since the two of them arrived here.

But now, it's getting more and more intense. The flood may be a huge node and turning point. An opportunity to make corrupt officials more greedy and ordinary people even more hungry.

This is undoubtedly very terrifying. After all, after the beginning of the lack of food, everything has to change quietly and invisibly.

In the beginning, it may have been famine...
