When Li Ji was dozing, Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru brought the old man and the child over, and the old man's body was so light that Lin Huiru wondered, but fortunately, he also woke up after pouring a bowl of mung bean soup.

"Grandpa, you're awake! That's great! Grandpa, you're scared me to death!" The boy was excited and his eyes were red again, and when he saw the old man's hand to wipe the boy's tears, Lin Huiru's nose was sour for some reason.

She couldn't see the old man suffering the most.

"Old man, I don't know where you're going? If you don't rest on such a hot day, you and your child's body will not be able to bear it. Lin Huiru saw that the lips of the two were still dry, and asked with a few bowls of mung bean soup.

The child just saw the mung bean soup, and his eyes lit up, and he drank it with two large bowls, and under the thin clothes, he could see that his stomach was propped up like a leather ball.

"Slow down, you haven't thanked your brothers and sisters yet, thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, even if our ancestors and grandchildren died on the road, no one cared." The old man sighed and sniffed.

Lin Huiru's brows furrowed even tighter, "Dare to ask you, what happened?"

"I can't talk about it... There was a drought in our entire western city, the money and supplies allocated by the imperial court were delayed, and the officials only let people in but not out, so we finally ran out with a group of refugees, and escaped overnight before being caught. When the old man said this, tears flashed in his eyes, if he was not forced to do so, who would want to leave his hometown.

"There's a drought in the west? Why have you never heard of it all the way, and you haven't received supplies and closed the city gates, isn't it clear that you want the lives of the people?" Li Ji said indignantly.

If the relief supplies are not enough, shouldn't they be evacuated elsewhere? This keeps people in a place where there is a lack of water, and it is clear that they don't want to leak the news.

The old man shook his head, "We don't know why this is happening, but if we stay in the city any longer, we will either starve to death or die of thirst, and we will still have a glimmer of life if we run out, thank you for your great kindness, you are the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"

Xu Ziqiao, who didn't say a word, quickly grabbed the old man who was about to kneel for them, and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to make this big gift, but where are you going when you come out like this?"

"We originally organized a self-development organization to go to the capital, but there were very few people who ran out, and even if we said it now, no one would believe it, so we thought about going directly to Bian'an City in front to join a relative." The old man's words were full of bitterness and helplessness.

Lin Huiru took out the money bag, there was a lot of expenses on the way, and the money bag was fluttering, but it was enough for the two of them to be entangled.

"Grandpa, you take this silver, and fill your stomach on the road with your little brother, this road is still long." Lin Huiru stuffed the hundred dollars into the old man's pocket and said earnestly.

At this moment, the old man can't get over it in his heart, and if he doesn't accept this long journey, he is afraid that he will starve to death.

"Hey! You are really the living bodhisattvas who save the suffering, and you gave me and my grandson this life! My relative's house is in Fu County, Bian'an, if there is anything useful, you can come!" The old man was pulled by Xu Ziqiao, and could only bow his head deeply to express his gratitude.

Although the child looked thin, he should actually be not small, and when he saw the old man doing this, he lowered his head, "Thank you, sister!" Thank you, brother! Grandpa has always taught me to be kind and to be gracious! When I grow up, I will be able to make cows and horses for my brothers and sisters!"

This child is very well-behaved, Lin Huiru likes it very much, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the boy's head, and said with a smile, "I know that you have this mind, then grow up first, grandpa is old, and you need to take care of it more on the road." ”

The boy nodded vigorously, with a firm look, "I should be filial to my grandfather when I grow up!" You should also repay the favor! My name is Sun Da Niu! When you're full, you're so strong! My brother and sister must come to me where they are useful!"

"Okay, we still have to hurry, so let's go first, you guys pay attention to safety along the way." Lin Huiru rubbed the child's head again and said goodbye, seeing Xu Ziqiao's solemn face, he couldn't help but ask when he went out, "What's wrong with you?"

"If the disaster is really as serious as they say, then those officials blocked the news and told the people that they had not received the materials and money from the imperial court for disaster relief, and someone must have done something in it, and Your Majesty may not know about this matter, and you may have lost the support of the people before you know it, and the people only regard Your Majesty as the sky, so if you suffer heavy casualties, you are afraid that it will cause a riot." Xu Ziqiao's consideration was always extremely sharp, and after he said this, Lin Huiru's back suddenly became cold.

Li Ji took a sip and got into the carriage, "Then we have to hurry up and send this news quietly, otherwise sometimes the consequences will be serious, but it is irreparable, it is the life of a city!"

But at this point, Lin Huiru suddenly had a trace of hesitation and jealousy, "If this matter is made by the relevant officials in collusion with each other, it will be difficult for a few of us ordinary people to see Your Majesty, if this news is intercepted halfway, we will cut off other people's financial routes." If things are at the stall, it will be a big deal. ”

"But we can't just watch this kind of thing go unchecked." Li Ji had a fire in his heart.

Lin Huiru's brain turned fast, this matter is not so simple, there are tens of thousands of residents in the city, or if there are really victims who die of thirst or starvation, the city gate cannot be opened and the corpses cannot be transported out in time, and the piles of corpses may rot if they are not properly handled, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, if it causes a plague or something, it will affect far more than one city of people.

"Let's hurry first, it's useless to think too much now." Xu Ziqiao stretched out his hand to smooth Lin Huiru's frowning brows, and sighed softly.

It's because he's not good, Lin Huiru has a lot of things to worry about, and he has to think about these things again for the sake of being thorough, and the pressure is too great.

"No, I have a way." Looking at Xu Ziqiao, Lin Huiru's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although they could not see His Majesty, and no one could reliably send the news in, someone could, and that person should still be extremely willing.

It depends on whether it is really as coincidental as she thinks.
