"What did you say?" Chu Bing suspected that he had misheard.

Li Yuxi plans to marry herself?

Instead of continuing the topic, he raised his index finger against his lips and made a silent gesture.

Chu Bing was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the curtain of the car had been opened, and Li Mo Han and Li Haoran were standing outside, ready to come in.

Several people were stunned at the same time.

Li Mo Han looked at Chu Bing and Li Yuxi in the car, they sat on the side separately, and they didn't seem to have any intersection, but I don't know why, I always felt that the atmosphere between those two people was very strange.

The two men went in with their heads bowed, and the driver outside drove the carriage out of the city.

Li Mo Han sat beside Chu Bing.

Chu Bing lowered his head and looked at his toes.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward.

"Ahem." Li Haoran clenched his fist to his lips, coughed dryly, and when he raised his head, all three pairs of eyes were staring at him.

He grinned, "When we get to the capital, let's go home first, my father is also on the road now, and he must arrive in Beijing a few days earlier than us." ”

"How do you know?" Li Yuxi looked at him.

Li Haoran took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter from my father." ”

He handed it to Li Yuxi, who glanced lazily, "Forget it, I don't want to look at the old man's things." ”

"Big brother." Li Haoran looked at him disapprovingly, "Father has been thinking about you, he is not in good health these days, even if you have a temper, you should endure it......"

"That's not going to work." Li Yuxi put his hands on his head, his eyebrows and eyes mocked, "If I take a step back, I will have to be forced by the old man to make you a stepping stone when I turn back......"

"Second brother!" Li Mo Han shouted lightly.

His voice was not loud, but it strangely made Li Yuxi and Li Haoran close their mouths at the same time.

The carriage fell silent and fell into an eerie atmosphere again.

Chu Bing's mind was a mess, all of which were the words that Li Yuxi had just said, and he was not in the mood to notice the situation in the carriage.

Nothing was said until it was getting dark.

"Young master, there is a village in front of you, shall we spend the night there? Otherwise, you'll have to travel at night. ”

Said the driver of the car.

It was already afternoon when Haoran lifted the curtain

The sunset was all over the sky, and he glanced back at Mo Han and them.

Li Mohan nodded.

"Alright, let's stay in front for one night."

Soon arrived at the mountain village in front.

When Chu Bing got out of the carriage, he almost thought that he had come to the wrong place.

There were many people around the entrance of the village, as if waiting for them, there were old people and children, most of them were skinny, their cheeks were sunken, and they only had a pair of eyes, which were big and scary.

Some children have big bellies that don't match their size.

Chu Bing's eyes froze, and a sentence from a medical book appeared in her heart.

When the famine year comes, if there is no food, some people will dig up Guanyin soil to eat, and this Guanyin soil is piled up in people's stomachs, but it will not be digested, and eventually ...... People are dying with big bellies.

Her fingers hanging down her sleeves trembled slightly.

"The people here...... How does it look, so pitiful? ”

She asked, lowering her voice.

Standing beside her was Li Yuxi, his voice was extremely cold and ruthless, "It's not just the people here, it's the entire continent, almost all the people are like this. ”

"Why?" Chu Bing's voice raised a little.

Li Yuxi looked at her, his eyebrows were cold, "The faint king is in charge, the government is harsh, and the people's harvest in the land for a year may not be enough for the family to make ends meet, but they still have to hand over sixty percent, and the remaining forty percent, and then the corrupt officials and corrupt officials look at it, and when it comes to the hand, there is less than one cent left." ”

"They don't dare to have children now, and if they are born, they can't survive, and even if they survive, they will eventually be pulled into the battlefield and become cannon fodder."

Li Yuxi's voice was very soft, only Chu Bing could hear it, but every word he said made Chu Bing's heart sink.

She never thought that the people of this world would live such a life.

"Second brother, Miss Chu, come here, we've already negotiated, let's get together at the village chief's house in the evening."

While Chu Bing and Li Yuxi were talking, Li Haoran had already agreed with the people in the village where to stay at night.

Chu Bing retracted his gaze and walked towards them.

Li Mo Han and the others walked over to Chu Bing, and subconsciously asked, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

Chu Bing didn't talk much all the way, which was completely different from the joy this morning, but in front of Liyu

Xi's face, he didn't want to ask anything, so he lowered his voice and asked.

Chu Bing shook his head, widened the distance between the two of them a little, and his tone was stiff, "No, let's go." ”

She raised her leg to catch up with Li Haoran and them.

Li Yuxi, who was left behind, saw the distance between the two people in his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and when he passed by Li Mo Han's side, he said in a low voice, "Big brother, if you don't belong to yourself, you shouldn't think about it." ”

He was stunned by Mo Han, and his expression was cold.

Li Haoran and the village chief walked side by side, and the two of them talked about some harvest problems in the village.

Chu Bing followed behind them, listening intently.

The villagers followed them from afar, and some children looked at them curiously, looking at them with longing in their eyes, but they did not dare to come closer.

Chu Bing's heart was very sour when he saw it.

Those little children, who looked like they were only six or seven years old, were so thin that they only had a handful of bones left, and in modern times, they were still at the age of playing, and they were already on the verge of life and death.

“…… Alas, even if the taxes are heavy, people often come to the county office, and when they see any middle-aged men in any family, even children who are only teenagers, they are all taken away, saying that they are going to serve in labor, but they have never returned. Many families in the village have left, leaving only these old and young, sick and disabled......"

The village chief sighed, his voice choked.

As the head of a village, seeing that there are fewer and fewer people in the village, he really ......

Li Haoran's voice became more and more solemn, "It's already like this, does the county order them to care?" ”

"The county orders have been changed three or four, which one dares to care?"

"Why not?" Chu Bing was stunned for a moment and asked.

The village chief smiled bitterly, "The leading official was born in the Fang family, and he is the nephew of Fang Guifei in the capital, who dares to care about his affairs?" ”

There are a few hard-boned county orders, but they don't end well.

And...... If there is no indulgence of the heavenly family, how dare these people be so unscrupulous, in the final analysis, it is the saint who does not care about things, so that the people are in dire straits.

It's just that the village chief is not easy to say this, they have a deep-rooted respect for the Son of Heaven, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they dare not show it.

Chu Bing squinted his eyes and thought about it, it seems that this Fang Guifei is not a good stubble.
