Chapter 203: The people are not happy
After eating the meal with their own hearts, everyone dispersed and slept groggily in the small town of Qingyuan, which was as quiet as water on the surface.
Early the next morning, Yin Huilan knocked on Lu Yao's door and specially boiled bird's nest porridge for people to appetize.
Lu Yao was flattered and said, "Why does Miss Yin bother with me? It's really hard for you. ”
Since the girl heard the glorious deeds of her tearing up the concubine, her eyes were shining when she saw Lu Yao from now on, and she hurriedly said, "It's not hard!" ”
Lu Yao returned to the room with the steaming bird's nest porridge, Hongluan did not come with her, she lived with those people in the ranks, it was inevitable that it was rough, and there was a lot of inconvenience on weekdays.
It's really fortunate that this Yin Huilan sent a bowl of bird's nest porridge to let her regain her blood......
But I don't know if this woman is afraid of her, or if she wants to learn from her?
The outpost had been arranged yesterday, and today Gu Congyuan said that he wanted to take a look, so the prince thought about picking up the leak again, and rushed to follow.
Lu Yao also stayed at Yin's house like a pin, so he simply changed into casual clothes and traveled in microclothes.
There were only a few Mu Ne's subordinates around her, and she saw the poor life of the people around her, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, and frowned: "I didn't expect the situation in Qingyuan City to be even worse than I imagined." ”
"But in the few places we passed by just now, the people are still setting up stalls to do business, and they are having a good time." One of the guards wondered, "I wonder what the princess said about this?" ”
"It is precisely because of such a grim situation that there are still people who can continue to do their old jobs, and I feel abnormal." She shook her head and sighed, pointing to a small alley not far away.
The attendants looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that in the dim and dark alley, there were many people huddled there.
It was as if he couldn't live anymore, and even his house was destroyed, so he spontaneously looked for that alley to live in.
Judging by their clothes, they should all be farmers in the fields, not beggars begging along the streets, so the expressions on their faces are also sad and helpless.
"The streets and alleys we pass through are roughly divided into two kinds of people." She said slowly, "One is still alive, so they start to do everything they can to make a living, and the other is the ...... whose fields are destroyed and houses collapse, and they can't even live."
"They're now homeless." Lu Yao lowered his eyelashes, and there was a hint of compassion in his eyes.
If she hadn't insisted on following Gu Cong to the Northland, it is estimated that she would still be blinded by the prosperity in the capital.
I didn't know that the short distance from the capital to Qingyuan could be so different.
The attendants fell into an eerie silence, and after a long time, someone said, "If the princess didn't say it, we really didn't notice." ”
Lu Yao said helplessly: "The prince asked you to come with me, not only to protect me, but also to let you see how bad the situation of the homeless is......"
Those young soldiers scratched their heads stupidly, but in the end, it was the first time they went far away, and they couldn't compare to Lu Yao.
The group walked and stopped, and most of the scenes they saw should have been in line with her vision.
In the small city of Qingyuan, the gap between the rich and the poor of the people has widened, and this bad situation can be more and more manifested at the current juncture of this foreign enemy.
"Stinky boy! Don't bring it to me yet! ”
Suddenly there was an angry roar in the distance, mixed with scolding
Swearing words.
On this noisy long street, the sound is actually not strong, but for Lu Yao, who has a keen hearing, it is still very harsh for her to hear clearly!
"Something seems to have gone wrong?" She immediately turned around, and hurried to identify the alley from which north and south the voice was coming from.
A hundred meters away, in an alley full of debris, surrounded by several men who were five big and three thick, the clothes on several people were in tatters, and it seemed that they had not changed for several days, but the expressions on their faces were fierce.
Behind a dilapidated wooden cart, a middle-aged sick woman was shivering, and in front of her stood a thin boy, who seemed to be her son, just like a chick in anger, with his thin arms spread out, desperately protecting the woman behind him.
"Give me the steamed buns!" The little boy shouted angrily, his voice trembling.
A few strong men have obviously become poor and lowly homeless, and in this case, they still have the heart to bully the weak, and they each take the steamed buns in their hands and feast on them.
"Little rabbit cub, this steaming white-flour steamed bun, shouldn't you honor your grandfathers?" One of them sneered, "What's the use of giving your sick old lady food?" She estimated that she would die in two days! ”
"You're only a woohoo, your whole family is dying!" The boy jumped up and snatched it like crazy, "This is our family's thing!" Why are you robbing! ”
"This shameless, toast and don't eat and drink!" The strong man kicked people far away, ate the only dry food of the mother and son in three or two, and scolded, "Just such a thing, to tell you, it's not enough to even stuff the uncle's teeth!" ”
The mother and son haven't eaten for three days, and these steamed buns are still rewarded by well-wishers, so they don't want to be robbed by these beasts.
"Ahhh The little boy ignored his mother's gentle dissuasion, and rushed forward frantically!
The reckless man screamed miserably, and blood slowly flowed down his calves: "You! Isn't it a dog? ”
Just as he was about to make a dead move, he suddenly heard a voice from the alley: "Stop!" ”
Before a few men could react, they saw a few soldiers in sharp armor blowing like the wind, and before anyone could react, they felt that their eyes were full of gold stars, and they fell to the ground in a daze.
The steamed buns that I swallowed just now almost spit out!
"You ......," the man who bullied the child struggled to get up, "who are you?" ”
Lu Yaolian moved lightly, walked in front of the person, and smiled slowly: "Cong Wangfu Keqing." ”
As soon as the man heard the word "King Cong", his face turned pale, and he rushed out of the alley with a few younger brothers.
Lu Yao didn't bother to chase after him, and hurriedly helped the mother and son behind the wooden cart: "Are you all right?" ”
The little boy had a color on his face, but he was still very brave and said, "It's okay, if my mother can eat dry food, we will be even fine!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh and rubbed his little head.
The attendants around him really carried some dry food with them, and several people pieced them together, took them out and handed them to the mother and son.
When Lu Yao heard the ins and outs, he was furious, and he immediately sent someone to chase those hooligans back.
The woman stretched out her hand and said, "That's it, that's it, Qingyuan City has been like this recently, not to mention this kind of five big and three coarse."
Even if it is a young man who has no strength, he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, just to fill his stomach! ”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Are most of the homeless people in the alley like this?" ”
The woman frowned and nodded with difficulty.
Lu Yao's initial conjectures came true one by one in the following conversations, and what could she do if she was helpless, she could only choose to accept this fact.
"This kid can have such a heart and courage at a young age, and when he grows up, he will be a man who stands up to the sky." She caressed the little boy's head, and suddenly remembered the bun-faced ingot, "What about the child's father?" ”
Speaking of which, she could visibly feel the atmosphere freeze for a moment.
The little boy desperately stuffed the food into his mouth, bulging like a little hamster stockpiling grain, and when he heard Lu Yao ask, he actually stopped moving, and tears slowly appeared in his eyes.
"His father ......," the woman closed her eyes in pain, "and had been beaten to death by the Rouran soldiers. ”
The attendants who looked like newborn calves on the side were furious, and they couldn't wait to be calm now.
"Alright, don't follow suit." Lu Yao frowned and said, "It's also dangerous for you to wander outside, it's better to follow us back first, and we will set up a shelter as soon as possible for you to stay." ”
The mother and son hurriedly thanked them, and eagerly followed Lu Yao to Yin's mansion.
When Gu Congyuan came back and saw this tiger-headed little boy, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
She had to recount the news she had found out in the morning and the situation of the people.
"Now that there are a lot of people in the middle of nowhere, we can set up a few shelters." Lu Yao pinched his eyebrows and said, "But in order to solve the urgent need, you can set up some soup kitchens in the city first." ”
"That's a good idea...... "Gu Congyuan still has doubts, and is considering whether to agree.
The prince tapped his palm with that elegant little fan and vigorously agreed: "What a good idea! Simply wonderful! ”
After all, Gu Ziyan is the best at this kind of showy thing, since he came to Qingyuan, Gu Congyuan has handled the patrol and defense arrangements single-handedly, and there are very few things that the prince can get involved in.
It's just that this matter is as simple as serving porridge for the people.
Lu Yao glanced at people with disdain, and let go of the traffic niches who bought the draft and pushed themselves to the top of the hot search......
Seeing Gu Congyuan's cold and detached expression, the prince was very unhappy in his heart, so he simply gave people a roll of his eyes, and no longer asked for his opinion, turned his head and asked, "Lord Yin, what do you think?" ”
"Good! Nature is good! "How could this person not have done such a thing as giving porridge and doing good deeds? But His Royal Highness the Prince, who is under one person and above ten thousand, is here, where is there anyone who refuses?
Say yes and you're done!
Fu Yin's action was extremely efficient, and it didn't take long for him to order people to set up soup kitchens everywhere in the city, and buckets of hot porridge were carried over one after another, steaming with the fragrance of rice, and even the steamed buns in the cage drawer were very soft and fragrant.
Of course, the most peculiar thing is not Lord Yin's generous move, but ......
The two royal highnesses, the crown prince and King Cong, stood in a porridge shed with dignity and personally helped everyone serve rice, this kind of scene is really rare to see in a hundred years!
