Chapter 92: Secretly Observing

"Now there are two cities, which have declined inexplicably within a few years, Zhangcheng knows what the reason is, but what is the reason for this Quzhou City?" Feng Wei frowned and said, "Otherwise, my subordinates will go to the yamen again." ”

Jin Lingluo said: "No need, I have already inquired, the yamen is not like Zhangcheng, and the people here also respect the yamen very much." ”

"I think it's weird."

Lan Baobao looked at them and said, "So many people don't have enough to eat, but the shops on the street are still full of flowers, how do they make a living?" ”

"I'll visit again tomorrow." Jin Lingluo said.

Feng Wei and Baby Blue nodded approvingly.

The three of them talked for a while, and Feng Wei found an excuse to leave.

When Lan Baobao hesitated to say goodbye, Jin Lingluo suddenly ordered: "Make tea." ”

This hot only opened one window, and he had to make tea, and the air flow of hot water came to his face, and after a while, the blue baby was sweating profusely.

After making the tea easily, she took the folding fan to cool down the tea, sweating more and more, and her face was hot and red.

Jin Lingluo looked at her silently, his eyes unconsciously fell on her slightly pursed lips, pink and tender like flower petals, and one broken place had gradually healed, but he could still see that the color there was different from other places.

Jin Lingluo's Adam's apple rolled a little, thinking of the feeling of bumping into each other that night, the pain was sweet, and the soft touch made him unbearable to criticize the other party's rudeness.

"Okay, it's time to drink." Baby Sapphire spoke suddenly.

Jin Lingluo quickly came back to his senses, calmly put away his gaze, and took the teacup from her hand.

The fingertips unintentionally rubbed into the palms of each other's hands, and the two of them suddenly stiffened.

The blue baby reacted very quickly, and quickly withdrew his hand, trying to hide his flushed face with his head down.

It's not that she's sensitive, but when King Ling observed her just now, she could feel it.

The other party's eyes were a little blazing, and her heart was bumping into each other. For a moment, she even wondered if His Highness was interested in her.

But she was soon vetoed again, and His Highness has been very good to her recently, but it was all under special circumstances.

Maybe it's just because they unknowingly narrowed the distance between each other on the way to escape.

His Highness looked indifferent, but he was very responsible, he took special care of her, and he was simply protecting her.

Blue Baby warned herself that she must not let her feelings cross the line, and there was bound to be an invisible battle between her and King Ling.

Even for the sake of her and Yu'er's future life, she must stay sober and maintain her original intention, King Ling is just a task for her, a task that she must work hard to overcome.

"Stand down." Jin Lingluo said suddenly.

The blue baby woke up and secretly scolded himself for thinking crankily in front of His Highness, and he didn't know if His Highness had seen any clues.

He didn't dare to observe His Highness's reaction at the moment, got up and saluted, and left the room stiffly.

The three of them rested in the inn for the whole night, and the next day they went out together after breakfast.

Walking to the street corner not far away, Feng Wei observed left and right, and then took the initiative to offer: "I'll go to the right, you go to the left, and go back to the inn to gather before dark." ”

Anyway, he left without waiting for King Ling to react.

Blue Baby pouted helplessly at his back, she always felt that Feng Wei was deliberate.

It was to investigate the situation in Quzhou City, but because they could not identify themselves yet, they could only make secret visits on the streets.

The main street looked as peaceful as yesterday.

I don't know if it's not enough to eat, so they walked all the way and didn't meet anyone who came out to beg for food.

And the endless flow of pedestrians around them, most of them are in shabby clothes, and there are less than decent ones, and the current situation in this city is generally - the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and there are many poor people and few rich people.

There was nothing to see on the main street, so they turned to another street, and the further south they went, the quieter it became, with few shops and few vendors on the side of the road.

After this quiet long street, there is a fork in the east, turn in, walk a dozen steps forward, and a large residential area will appear in front of you.

Houses of different heights and sizes look very poorly planned here, and most of the houses are dilapidated, and some can no longer even shelter from the wind and rain.

The streets and alleys inside are also winding around, and the houses are too dense, if you are not familiar with this place, you will definitely get lost after entering.

Blue Baby and Jin Lingluo walked inside for a while before stopping first, and they looked around again.

In the dense residential area, almost every house has people sitting at the door, some in the half-open courtyard.

As soon as Blue Baby and Jin Lingluo appeared nearby, they attracted a lot of attention.

They looked around, and Jin Lingluo walked towards the young man sitting in front of his house not far away.

The man also looked to be in his twenties, tall but very thin, unhealthy emaciation. He was dressed plainly, his hair was slightly unkempt, and his face was a little dirty.

Jin Lingluo stepped forward to talk with the man for a few words, and learned that this was the largest residential area in Quzhou City, Bumingfang, which was densely populated but was poor and white.

The path in the workshop is complicated, and if the two want to go in to find out, they can only find someone who can guide them first.

The man was a little wary of them, and was reluctant to lead the way, but he was impressed by the silver.

Who knew that they had just walked inside not long ago, and there was a sudden commotion nearby, and I don't know who shouted, "The Sheng family has set up a porridge shed at the corner of the street, everyone go quickly." ”

At this time, it was close to lunchtime, and this exciting news soon spread to the whole nameless place.

Every family, men, women, and children, all ran out of the shop with bowls and basins in their hands, like a surging tide.

"Two, I'm sorry, there are still old people at home who need to eat, I have to go and serve porridge."

As soon as the man who was leading the way heard the news, he immediately apologized to them, and without waiting for the two to respond, he ran away.

The houses here are crowded, each aisle is very narrow, and now there are all the people in the square running out, Lan Baobao and Jin Lingluo looked at the surging crowd, and quickly took a few steps back, and found a corner to hide first.

After a while, there were already people in twos and threes who had finished taking the porridge and walked back.

The two of them took a few more steps forward and saw pots and bowls in the hands of the people who passed by them. But without exception, it is not porridge at all, but a clear soup with little water, and it is good to find a few grains of rice in a bowl.

But it's such a soup, and in the eyes of these people, it's better than a big meal.

Jin Lingluo looked at the blue baby and handed over a look.

Blue Baby understood and stopped a woman who was about to pass by them, "Auntie, do you often have soup kitchens here?" ”

The woman was rejoicing with the porridge, but she just glanced up and down at the two outsiders, and then replied: "Every two or three days, someone will give porridge, the most are the Sheng family and the Pan family, and there are other families. ”

Soup porridge is so frequent, this Sheng family and the Pan family are really generous.

"Do they only give soup in the unnamed shop?" Blue Baby asked again.

Nu Ru nodded, "The harvest in the past few years has not been as good as a year, and many people have not been able to eat. If it weren't for the willingness of these great benevolent people to give porridge, I don't know how many people would have starved to death. Later, in order to facilitate relief, the Yamen gathered all the refugees in the city to Bumingfang. This way, it is convenient for everyone and we don't have to go hungry. ”

"Then the Sheng family and the Pan family ......"

Lan Baobao wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by the woman waving her hand, "Hey, no, no, the children at home are still waiting to drink porridge, I'll go first." ”

Before she could finish speaking, the woman had already walked a few steps away.

Lan Baobao could only give up, looked back at King Ling and asked, "Do you continue to ask for someone?" ”

Jin Lingluo thought about it for a while and said, "Go to the porridge shed." ”

The porridge shed of the Sheng family was very large, almost blocking the street entrance, and Lan Baobao counted a total of ten sheds for taking porridge. Rao is like this, those who came to put porridge are also so busy that their feet are sweating profusely, and there are so many refugees in the nameless workshop that they can't be counted.

Looking at this posture, I am afraid that this porridge will not end until the evening.

Lan Baobao looked at the crowded scene and flinched a little, but thinking that King Ling was still by his side, he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'll go over and ask about the situation." ”

"Not necessarily." Jin Lingluo raised his hand and pointed in a direction, and Lan Baobao followed to look over, only to see a familiar face sandwiched between the crowds.

The porridge in front of the man should have been finished, and he was beckoning someone to come over and refill it, but he turned to the side, and when he looked up again, he saw Jin Lingluo and Blue Baby standing outside the crowd.

At this time, his height advantage was revealed, otherwise his vision would not be able to surpass those crowded villagers.

Lan Baobao watched the man walk towards them without crowding, smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said in surprise: "It's really a place in life where you don't meet, the two of you, you met again." How did you end up here? ”

"Why is Zheng Zhutou here?" Baby Smurf salutes him and doesn't answer the rhetorical question.

Zheng Huaiqi touched his nose embarrassedly, pointed to the porridge shed behind him and said, "After I left Zhangcheng, I had nowhere to go, so I went to my uncle's house." ”

"The Sheng family?" Jin Lingluo asked rhetorically.

Zheng Huaiqi nodded, knowing what he wanted to ask, so he explained: "My uncle is a businessman, and he is blessed by his ancestors, and his family is rich. I can't eat and live in vain in the Sheng family, so I came over to help put the porridge, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

Blue baby is darkly fragrant, this Sheng family is not only rich, but I am afraid that it is the richest man in Quzhou City.

There are more than a few thousand households in this unnamed shop, but they can still give soup porridge every once in a while, whether the money is too much to spend, or is it really so kind and generous.

"The two of you came to this Quzhou City to visit relatives and friends?" Zheng Huaiqi looked at them and asked.

The blue baby smiled politely and quietly looked at King Ling next to him.

Jin Lingluo was silent, looking like he had acquiesced.

Zheng Huaiqi didn't continue to inquire, but asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Quzhou City?" Today, I can't get out of the way, how can I be considered half a host in Quzhou City, and I should do my best to be a landlord. ”

"Dongping Inn, waiting for you at any time." Jin Lingluo said.

Zheng Huaiqi saluted them again, and then went back to continue directing the porridge.

When Lan Baobao and Jin Lingluo returned to the inn, Feng Wei was already sitting in the lobby waiting.

"Here."

Feng Wei beckoned to them, and called the guy over to order the food to be served.

"Coming back so early, it seems that your side is going well." After Baby Blue sat down, he kicked Feng Wei under the table.

Feng Wei's face was silent, and he kicked him back in private, but he looked at King Ling and said, "I heard something, and I will talk about it in detail when I go back to the room after eating." ”

Jin Lingluo nodded.

Lan Baobao saw that they were all serious, and he no longer joked about Feng Wei, and the three of them finished eating as fast as they could and went upstairs.

After entering the house, the blue baby made a pot of tea first, and suddenly it was hot and sweaty.

Jin Lingluo looked at her, pointed to the bed and said, "Folding fan." ”

Lan Baobao was slightly stunned, and quickly went to the bedside to take the folding fan and handed it to King Ling with both hands.

King Ling looked at her again and waved his hand.
