Chapter 75: Riot
"yes, okay."
Xie Shiyun agreed, but in fact, her body did not relax at all, and it was strange that she could relax in such a situation. Seeing that she didn't react, Shen Sijun raised a helpless chuckle. That's it, when she gets tired, she will naturally find a comfortable way to sit.
When the accompanying soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but have some gossip in their hearts, but they did look like a good couple, and they were very compatible.
"After this road, the road will be a little smoother, and if the son is tired, he will sleep for a while."
"Although Weichen's chest is not generous and powerful, the son can rely on it if he doesn't dislike it."
When Xie Shiyun heard Shen Sijun's words, her ears quietly flushed slightly. In her previous life, Shen Sijun didn't have the same closeness to her as she was, which made her quite embarrassed.
"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your hard work."
The group continued to rush to the drought zone, alternating black and white, even if Xie Shiyun was unwilling, under the devastation of sleeping in the open air, he had to seek a stability in Shen Sijun's arms.
Looking at the obedient appearance of the person in his arms closing his eyes and taking a nap, Shen Sijun's eyes couldn't help but be full of tenderness. He slowly stretched out a hand, for fear of disturbing her, and stopped less than an inch from her face. Her delicate features were outlined in the air, and he had never been so close to her.
There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by.
At this time, under the sunset in the west, someone seemed to be whispering in his ear, this poem that was very consistent with her.
"It would be nice if time could stand still in this moment."
"Hmm, where are we?"
Xie Shiyun woke up and found that she had turned around at some point and was lying in Shen Sijun's arms. As soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Sijun's sword eyebrows, starry eyes, straight nose and thin lips.
The four eyes met, and two powerful heartbeats were like muffled thunder, resounding uncontrollably in the chests of the two. Xie Shiyun turned her face sideways and stopped looking at Shen Sijun, Shen Sijun also subconsciously dodged, but fortunately, he withdrew his hand in time when he noticed it just now.
"We're almost to Rongchuan, but Childe should be careful, there will be refugees fleeing the disaster on the way."
"I see."
At night, the soldiers began to set up a temporary camp, and Xie Shiyun sat by the campfire in the center of the camp, looking up at the stars in the sky like a beaded curtain. Those stars were dazzling, Xie Shiyun couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and did not hide her yearning for them at all.
"Childe, there will be a difference between cold and warm in this area between day and night, don't catch a cold."
Shen Sijun walked over and draped a thin shirt in his hand over her shoulders, the cold wood fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose.
"The scent is a little different from the daytime."
"Naturally, it's different, Weichen has soft armor mixed with the smell of copper and iron."
Shen Sijun said with a smile in his words, Xie Shiyun realized what he had said, and opened his mouth to cover up, "I see, I was negligent." ”
Shen Sijun sat beside her, looking at the light of the flame swaying with the night breeze, reflecting her side face brightly, and she lost her mind for a moment.
"Lord Shen?"
"Huh?"
Shen Sijun realized that he was out of shape, and a moment of embarrassment and shame flashed on his face.
"What was Lord Shen thinking, so distracted?"
"No, nothing, just wondering if we're going to stop at Yeongcheon."
Shen Sijun is not as straightforward as Shen Wenwen, if he were Shen Wenwen, he would definitely tell the truth without hesitation, and tease Xie Shiyun verbally. Compared with Shen Wenwen's clever tongue, Shen Sijun is an elm head.
"This time, Rongchuan is only on the edge of the drought, and the materials are limited and do not stop."
Xie Shiyun frowned slightly and thought about it, and said her opinion.
"Then obey Childe."
Early the next morning, the group set off again. It's just that as Shen Sijun said, there will be refugees fleeing from time to time on the road. Xie Shiyun was moved by compassion, and she couldn't see it, so she gave some food and water.
"Childe, there are trade-offs in the world, according to your approach, before the most serious place, all the disaster relief materials will be consumed."
Shen Sijun's expression was serious, he could tolerate it once or twice, but this kind of rescue would only harm more people.
Xie Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and the hand holding the bucket was clenched, very entangled. Shen Sijun's words were not wrong, but she couldn't bear the yellow muscles and weak looks on the road.
"Let's go."
In the end, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of more people who need to save the fire and water, she gave up her compassion at this time. The more you go to a place where the drought is severe, the more refugees will be on the road, and there will even be starvation on the roadside. This was the first time she had faced a natural disaster, a natural disaster that would kill her.
"Childe, don't look at it."
Shen Sijun covered her eyes, and felt her eyes tremble and moisten slightly in the palm of her hand.
"I can't save them."
Xie Shiyun said this sentence slowly, containing her deep helplessness, guilt and powerlessness.
"We have no choice, natural selection of the fittest to survive, we can only leave the supplies to the people who need it most."
Shen Sijun has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he is used to seeing countless lives and deaths, and he can only sigh at the demise of these people. There are always dead people in this world, they are not immortals or bodhisattvas, and they can only fight for the least casualties.
"It's not your fault, don't feel guilty."
Xie Shiyun calmed down under Shen Sijun's comfort. Only the eyes that are still faintly red can let others notice the churning in her heart.
After a while, the group saw a group of refugees approaching them. When they saw them, the refugees' eyes lit up, and they all rushed to them with all their might, running or walking.
"Please, sir, save us!"
"We've been hungry for days, save us!"
"Officials, give us saliva!"
Xie Shiyun was very embarrassed for a while, turned to look at Shen Sijun sideways, and frowned slightly to seek his opinion.
"Lord Shen, what should I do?"
"We just passed by a well, and although there was little water, it was enough to save their lives." "Looking at their energy, it's not difficult to get there."
Xie Shiyun nodded, and then said loudly to them, "There is a well less than a hundred miles east of here, so you can go by yourself, don't block our disaster relief road." ”
As soon as the refugees heard that there was a well, they all turned their heads to each other, and they didn't know who in the crowd was up, "I think you just don't want to save us, who knows if you are lying to us!"
"I thought that the people in the court were so sympathetic to the people, but they were all such ruthless people!"
"You have a lot of food and water, why don't you give it to us!"
Suddenly, the refugees began to be restless, shouting and scolding, and Xie Shiyun didn't know what to do for a while.
