Chapter 512: Tragic Images in the World
"Hey, I said that a few brothers are enough, we can joke in private, but the pea girl is thin-skinned, and you can't joke with the pea girl in the future......."
There was a burst of laughter in the back, and then the blushing little girl was gone, leaving only a small and cute figure in the distance, and the third master, who had always been five big and three thick, had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Thinking of the red little face and crooked eyes, he was very reluctant in his heart, and when he turned around and explained, Zhao San followed quickly.
The third master is actually less than twenty years old this year, and he is familiar with Zhao San, and people who are familiar with him often call him Zhao San, and over time even he himself is almost forgotten, in fact, his name is Zhao Liangchen, who is his father who has always been slamming the door, and spent three pennies to find a scholar to give him it.
Zhou Muchan and Xiao Man rushed to Peach Blossom Town before dark, their big carriage was really inconvenient in Peach Blossom Town, they left the carriage before entering the city, left someone to guard it, and then the rest of the people rode into the city.
The number of horses is limited, Xiaoman had to ride a horse with Zhou Muchan, the changes in Peach Blossom Town are really great, the previous street shops no longer exist, there is no shadow in memory at all, the road is full of potholes, it rained a few days ago, there is a lot of water on the road, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, their expressions are numb, everywhere is lifeless, walk to a windy place, a group of people suddenly burst out from inside, ragged, all old people and children, with yellow faces and thin muscles with sick faces and dirty hands, Stretched out to Xiaoman, in front of them, these people suddenly appeared, the horse was startled and almost startled, and Zhou Muchan grabbed the reins.
Xiao Man looked at the group of beggars in front of him, his expression was solemn, and Xiao Si and Xiao Qi behind him stepped forward, "Young master...... Are you alright? ”
"It's okay...... you go and see where there are steamed buns around here, you go buy more and come back and distribute them to them."
"It's the young master......."
Xiao Si and Xiao Qi turned their horses' heads and went to buy steamed buns.
Zhou Muchan took Xiaoman and continued to walk forward, but after walking a few steps, he could see some begging people, and some of them were too hungry to stand up.
The two simply turned over and dismounted, and the two walked all the way to see, "It's been more than a year since this flood, why is Peach Blossom Town still like this, and the imperial court hasn't sent people down to rebuild after the disaster?" ”
"For so many years, the emperor has not even been in the court, where will he care about this, maybe our emperor, Your Majesty, will not know about the flood in this little peach blossom town at all."
"If you don't change people early, I think Daxia will ......be destroyed sooner or later."
Zhou Muchan clenched Xiao Man's hand violently, with a serious expression, "Xiao Man, you promise me that you will never say this kind of thing outside in the future...... ”
"I know this is a big crime to kill the head, don't worry, I know I can't say this casually, I'm just complaining in front of you."
Zhou Muchan shook Xiao Man's hand, "There is no way that man-made disasters are encountering natural disasters, and the lives of ordinary people are really getting more and more difficult." ”
"These are not terrible, what is terrible is to meet a mediocre emperor, then there is really no way to live."
The more they walked in, the more frightened Xiao Man and Zhou Muchan became, they were already hungry inside, Zhou Muchan covered Xiao Man's eyes, not letting the situation in front of her, men and women were not covered by clothes, corpses were all over the ground, some time had passed, they had been black and stinky, it was autumn now, the temperature was not high, otherwise the corpses would rot even more.
Xiao Man still saw the tragic image in front of him, buried his head tightly in Zhou Muchan's arms, his stomach was uncomfortable, he lived two lifetimes, such a scene, Xiao Man is really the first time to experience, I have seen photos of African refugees on the Internet before, but that is only seen on the computer, and it is shocking to see the real scene from afar.
Zhou Muchan bent down to pick up Xiaoman, turned around and retreated, the city was about to become an empty city, and it was difficult to see the living.
Xiao Si and Xiao Qi have also returned, and when they came back empty-handed, what they saw was almost the same as what Zhou Muchan saw and what they saw, and everyone's expressions were heavy.
"My mother, I'm going to my mother, here is such a picture, where can she go......."
Xiaoman, don't worry, I'm going to find it, it's time to mess, you can rest assured that he will follow your mother, and there will be no ...... of things. ”
"No, I really can't rest assured, this city is already like this, and the nearby village is definitely not much better, I have to find my mother's ......."
The previous road is long gone, and if you find the right direction, you can only look as you go.
When night fell, they couldn't see anything, they couldn't move at all, they found an empty space and lit a fire, Xiao Man stood in the dark and looked around, applying for sorrow, there was no light around at all, those villages in the past, at night, a little candlelight was like a star in the Milky Way, and a little starlight pointed people in the direction.
Stretched out his fingers in front of him, he couldn't see his five fingers, the night here seemed to be darker than elsewhere, remembering the tragic image he had seen before, Xiao Man's heart was like pressing a big stone, and she couldn't breathe.
Zhou Muchan took the only remaining dry food and came to Xiao Man's side, "Xiao Man, let's eat some, now I only remember this as well." ”
Xiao Man took the plate of dry food and held it in his hand, "What do I want to do?" ”
"Okay, I'll help you, whatever you want to do, I'll help you."
In the night, Xiaoman's eyes were shining, like stars in the night, with a unique light.
It's already autumn, the weather is as cold as water, a few people sit around the fire, everyone is not in a good mood, no one speaks, and occasionally one or two crickets can be heard around.
The ground was too cold, Zhou Muchan spread his big coat on the ground, let Xiao Man sit on his clothes, and sat next to him, but Zhou Muchan felt too cold when he did it, so he couldn't help but say that he held Xiao Man in his arms.
It was a lot warmer, Xiao Man leaned on Zhou Muchan's arms with his eyes closed, quietly listening to his heartbeat, the uneasiness in her heart before had gradually disappeared, she was now extremely clear about what she wanted to do, what she should do, she was not afraid of anything, because he was by her side.
After a while, there was an even breathing sound in his arms, and by the light of the fire, he could see the little man in his arms, who was already asleep.
