"Don't come here!" Xia Jingjing saw a wooden stick on the ground, picked it up without hesitation, and confronted Chu Yunming.

Although this wooden stick looked thick and intimidating, Chu Yunming didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he laughed coldly and continued to press step by step.

"Don't come here! If you dare to come here again, I will beat you! Xia quietly trembled with a threat, her body couldn't help but retreat, and now she was in the corner of the wall.

"Do you really dare to beat this king?" Chu Yunming raised his eyebrows, and against the backdrop of the candlelight, his face was more like the evil ghost Shura from hell.

"This king is a golden body, if you beat this king, will you know the consequences? Even if this king is not favored by the emperor, he is also the son of the dragon who is high above! If you are really beaten by you, the emperor will investigate it, won't your father be able to eat and walk around. ”

Chu Yunming didn't realize his shamelessness at all, he triumphantly threatened Xia Jingjing to put down the stick, and then obediently listen to his words.

Quietly resisting death, she shook her head vigorously, and when Chu Yunming was about to get close to her, she took the stick and threw it at him.

Chu Yunming had no choice but to dodge the past, and it was precisely because of this that Xia Jingjing ran to the opposite side of the abandoned garden, and the two of them confronted each other across a round flower bed.

Chu Yunming took a few steps to the right, and Xia Jingjing also turned a few times in this direction, always keeping a distance from him.

Chu Yunming ran fast and she ran fast, the two were entangled with each other like monkeys, and they were at a stalemate for a long time.

"You stinky woman, I don't know what to do!" Chu Yunming was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely, but he still couldn't catch Xia Jingjing.

At this time, she didn't have much interest, he was a prince, and if she gave up, wouldn't it be a loss of face.

The stalemate between the two of them continued here, while the bustle of the Imperial Garden continued, and neither of them realized what was happening on their side.

A lively night banquet was being held here in the palace, and in the afternoon just a few hours ago, Chu Xingze and An Wei had already settled everything. They first went to the fields to find out what was going on with the people.

Hongqiang was sent by them to find out the situation, while An Wei and Chu Xingze came to the farmland in person.

"Lord Wang, be careful, old man." An Wei was afraid that Chu Xingze would be too tired to leave, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

Seeing her actions, Chu Xingze seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his face was slightly gloomy.

This woman still regards herself as a prince who can't carry her shoulders and can't lift her hands!

"Woman, can you please refrain from insulting me like this? In your heart, your husband is so useless? There was some displeasure in his words.

His appearance made An Wei show a smug smile, covering his mouth and secretly laughing a few times.

"The prince thinks he has good physical strength?" An Wei raised his eyebrows lightly, looking high-spirited, and even a little confident.

Now that they have been walking for less than half an hour, Chu Xingze is already exhausted and out of breath, while An Wei is still calm and relaxed, and he doesn't feel tired at all.

Although Chu Xingze was dissatisfied, what An Huan said was also the truth, and he could only agree silently.

Holding hands with An Huan to the edge of the farmland, Chu Xingze found that the fields here had already dried up, and even no grass had grown.

The most terrible thing is the cracks in the fields that have long been dry, and the sun at this time is like fire, and the people who are sunbathed are slightly dizzy.

"The field is so dry that it's no wonder they don't have a harvest."

Looking at such a scene, Chu Xingze's eyes felt a little pity, he sighed helplessly, and followed An Wei to the side of a big tree.

Because of the drought, the stout tree had long since withered. Even the originally lush branches and leaves are all withered and yellow, languishing there, like an old man in the twilight, making his last death.

Everything in front of him fell into a state of sadness, which made An Wei and Chu Xingze unhappy in their hearts.

Walking towards the front for a while, I found a village. All the trees in the village, big or small, withered and died!

They came to a farmhouse and found a child crying and an elderly man patting him on the back.

"Old man, is this child sick?" An Wei and Chu Xingze walked in quickly.

Seeing An Wei and Chu Xingze coming, the old man was a little stunned and surprised on his face.

"He's not sick, he's hungry! But there was nothing to eat at home, his mother was starved to death last month, and the only cow in the family died three days ago because he couldn't eat for a long time......

Speaking of which, she didn't go on, but it was enough to highlight her helplessness at this time.

Her home was empty, and when she looked inside, she saw several tablets in the main hall.

"Didn't the local officials help you?" Chu Xingze looked angry in his heart.

But whenever this happens, local officials must play a role model.

This sentence made the old man sigh even more helplessly.

"Even if the local officials do something, what can they do, the grain of drought in this 100-mile radius will not be harvested, and all the young and healthy people will flee outside. Only those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled cannot escape, so we can only stay here and wait for death! How can the local officials take care of all of our poor and remote ......"

The old man didn't go on, but hearing her words, Chu Xingze and An Wei were full of sadness in their hearts, and they didn't expect them to be so sad here.

An Hao suddenly remembered that they had brought some water and food with them when they came.

Immediately untied the kettle from his body and sent it to the old man, Chu Xingze also hurriedly took out some dry food he was carrying and handed it to the two of them.

"Old man, we didn't bring too many things when we came, these are left for you to solve your urgent needs, I believe that the imperial court will soon think of a solution, and I will bother you to wait for some time."

Chu Xingze's impassioned remarks to the old man's side were more comforting.

The old man obviously didn't want to believe their words, but he still thanked them, and even wanted to invite them as guests.

"That's not necessary, the two of us have to go to the front to check, and I hope that the old man will take care of his health, and I hope we have a chance to see each other again."

After An Wei said this to the old man politely, he left hand in hand with Chu Xingze.

An Wei and Chu Xingze went to other places to explore each other, and found that many people here had fled to other places, and now all the people at home were some elderly people, or they were too weak to travel long distances.

After an entire afternoon of exploring here, An Wei and Chu Xingze had a clear understanding of the situation here.
