Chapter 501: The Road to Exile
A long sigh came out of her mouth, and somehow she felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart as she faced this simple and honest village woman.
"Oh, by the way, it should be a long way to go, right?" When Sister Wang heard where they were going, she was a little worried, so she hurriedly ran to the kitchen again, and this time she came out again, with an extra bowl of sweet potatoes in her hand.
"The family is full of coarse grains, but the dry food is hard and dry, the child definitely doesn't like to drink, you bring a few more sweet potatoes on the road, soft children should love to eat." She said as she stuffed the sweet potato into her arms along with the bowl.
Shen Lanyue was not easy to refuse, and she also felt deeply moved, she took out her purse from her arms, poured out a few pieces of broken silver, took Sister Wang's hand, and put it in her palm.
"What are you doing, I can't ask for this money!" Sister Wang shouted and tried her best to refuse, but Shen Lanyue refused to take it back: "Sister Wang, let's come to your house, tired of you to help us make rice porridge, how can we eat and drink for nothing?" You just take it, it's just a little money, and it's really insignificant compared to your affection. ”
"No! It's just some rice porridge and sweet potatoes, how much can it be worth? How can I take so much money from you? ”
"Sister Wang!" Seeing that Sister Wang kept shirking, she was a little helpless, so she had to find an excuse to let her accept it: "In this world now, how many people can't even afford to eat rice porridge and sweet potatoes, you have already taken the best food to entertain me, this friendship is more than just a few taels of silver, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid I'm so ashamed that I can't sleep well at night." ”
When she said this, Sister Wang's face was embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, she had to accept these silver taels, and couldn't stop thanking her and thanking her.
It didn't take long for Zhao Wu to come back with Dongdong, Dongdong seemed to have a lot of fun, his little face was flushed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his head.
It was not early, and after saying goodbye to Sister Wang, the family got into the carriage again and gradually moved away in the depths of the bamboo forest.
It was another night of travel, and on the second day they approached a city on the border of Zhao State, and the closer they got to Lei City, the more refugees there were on the way.
Shen Lanyue opened the curtain and saw that many people on the road were in rags and their faces were dusty. Many people dragged their families and families with them, and went all the way to this place. What frightened Shen Lanyue the most was the children among the homeless people.
Some of these children are no more than the size of Dongdong, and some are even swaddling. Those who are still in the country are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and their faces are so thin that they have no flesh, and their eyes are extraordinarily large and silent, like a walking corpse.
After becoming a mother, the last thing you can see is to see your child suffer, which is the power of motherhood. Shen Lanyue's eyes were red, but she gritted her teeth and lowered the curtain, closed her eyes and didn't look at the scene outside the car, and only turned a deaf ear to the wails of the refugees.
Dongdong looked at these people, and a look of pity appeared on his face. The child was ignorant of the world, and said a little sadly, "Mother, shall we give them some money?" ”
"Nope." Although Shen Lanyue couldn't bear it, she could only refuse.
"Why? They are so pathetic. ”
She took her son in her arms and said sadly: "It's not that the mother doesn't want to give, but she can't give." Now that I am showing my wealth, I am afraid that I will be targeted by some people with a heart, and then I will be burned. Dongdong, if you want to help others, you must be able to ensure your own safety on the premise, only when you are safe, can you help more people in the future. ”
As she spoke, she paused, and then her expression became even more sad: "We can save one family, there are so many refugees in the world, can we still save every family?" If you want to save the world, the only way to save the world is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, not to displace them, and then come to give money and food! ”
The young Dongdong couldn't understand his mother's words, but his mother's sorrow and helplessness when she said these words were deeply imprinted on his heart. When his mind is mature enough, he will go back and chew on his mother's words repeatedly, which determines his life's career, which is to serve the country and the people.
Soon arrived at the gate of Thunder City, the two concealed their identities, and they didn't look like homeless, and it was easy to enter the city, but there were still thousands of homeless people who were stopped outside the city, because this city was far from being able to support so many people. Those people can only eat and sleep in the vicinity.
Shen Lanyue and Zhao Wu concealed their identities, and when they entered the city, they found an ordinary inn to live in, and the city lord of Lei City did not receive any news. What they want is this kind of effect, so that they can better understand the people's feelings.
After settling into their lodgings, they rested for a while and prepared to go out for a stroll and see what was going on.
"Father, mother, are you going out again?" Qingyue felt that her butt was still hot, so she quickly stood up again.
Shen Lanyue looked at her son's slightly tired little face, touched his head with some distress, and comforted: "Dongdong, we have something to do when we go out, you have a good rest in the inn, don't run around, okay." ”
"Did you go out to see the people who were suffering?" It was not like a child of his age could say this, Shen Lanyue and Zhao Wu were a little different, glanced at each other, and then nodded.
"I'm going too, and I'm going to see the people!" The child's tone is still very immature, but there is a firmness that cannot be ignored.
Shen Lanyue wanted to refuse, but saw Zhao Wuyi pick up Qingyue and let him ride on his shoulder: "Take the children with you, these are his people." ”
The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Dongdong is a member of the royal family, so he has some royal responsibilities.
Shen Lanyue understood this, looking at Qingyue's firm eyes, she still couldn't say what she stopped after all, so she had to nod and said helplessly: "Okay, then you have to promise your mother that you can't be tired or lose your temper after you go out." ”
"Yes! Mother! Dongdong agreed, and then smiled excitedly and happily.
The commercial street of Leicheng is still relatively prosperous, and it looks like a country and a people's peace, but all this is just an appearance, just because this is a rich area. Shen Lanyue and Zhao Wu only walked a few steps before turning around and walking towards the slum. On the way, I passed a temple, and there was a long queue in front of the temple, all of them were refugees, disgraced, one person holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, and there were dozens of family members guarding the order, but the scene was still a little chaotic.
"Hey, big brother, who is giving porridge here?" Shen Lanyue saw that a man had just come out of the front of the team after receiving porridge, so she hurriedly stopped him and accosted him.
"It's Zhang Yuanwai in the south of the city, this Zhang Yuanwai is a kind person, our family hasn't eaten for several days, the children are hungry, I have to take the porridge back quickly." The man said a few words in a hurry and left.
But in an instant, Shen Lanyue saw clearly the porridge in his bowl, where is this porridge? It's just a few grains of rice floating in the clear water. That feeling of powerlessness came up again, she sighed, and looked at Zhao Wu with a serious face.
"Let's go our separate ways, I'll take Dongdong to the teahouse to find out the situation."
"Well, then I'll go to the people's houses to see how the crops are going."
The two agreed to meet at the inn in a quarter of an hour, and then parted.
