Because he received the order of the Holy Envoy's deployment earlier, Yang Cheng's actions were also relatively fast, all affairs had been arranged before dawn, and the list of escaped personnel who needed to be submitted was also handed in as scheduled.

In the epidemic area, in order to prevent contagion, everyone wore face towels, and Yue Tianyu, who originally wanted to change out of his official robe, put on his official robe again after saying in twilight that he should help Yue Cao confirm his identity and appease people's hearts as a holy envoy.

Therefore, at this time, they carried many complicated eyes all the way to inspect, some of those eyes were full of hope and longing, and some were full of scrutiny and doubt, but no matter what, the common characteristic of their bodies was fatigue, because of this exhaustion, those eyes did not stay on them for too long, for these homeless people who had lived a happy life, but were forced to leave their homes due to natural disasters, no amount of concern and sympathy was less than a bowl of hot porridge, and the old people and women gave most of their limited food to the prime of life and children, So most of us have been hungry for about two days, and if it weren't for the supplies that arrived here yesterday, I'm afraid we would be in trouble.

Nowadays, people who have finally eaten do not dare to move easily, and they all sit obediently in the makeshift grass huts to rest, women hold children in their arms and murmur, the old people close their eyes to rest, and the middle-aged people help errands one by one to deliver food or decoction.

Looking at such a relatively stable scene, Yang Cheng, the accompanying magistrate, was full of gratitude for the arrival of "King Yu" again.

"Hee-hee, come and catch me."

"You wait, don't run."

It didn't match the environment so much that a burst of frolicking came from far and near, and before everyone had time to react, Yue Tianyu only felt a weight on his knees, and the frolicking stopped abruptly, he looked down and saw a little fluffy head buried in his lap, his hair loose with a few weeds, and his dirty little hands tightly grasped his official robe.

After a while, Yue Tianyu leaned down slightly with soft eyes, raised her hand and gently brushed the back of the little guy's head, and she first stiffened, and then inexplicably raised her head with the gentle force, a pair of big watery eyes were full of agility, and it looked extremely bright on the face with stains.

Just that glance, but inadvertently opened up the long-lost memory in Yue Tianyu's heart.

Has anyone ever looked at him with such bright and innocent eyes? With heartfelt surprise and joy, but where has this person gone now, and who of them has lost whom?

He slowly distanced himself from the little one, bent over on his knees, and asked at eye level with her, "What's your name?" ”

The little guy looked at his brother in front of him, who was wearing a mask, but his eyes were clear and gentle, and his smile slowly rose, and he replied in a milky voice, "My name is Little Stone." ”

"Little stones?"

The little guy nodded, "Well, it's called Little Stone, my father and mother said that my life is hard, and this name was given by my grandmother when she was alive." ”

Listening to the milky and innocent answer, Yue Tianyu sighed secretly, now that this world is hard, I really don't know whether it is good or bad, so I touched the back of her head again, and looked behind her, the companion who had just frolicked and chased was long gone, but I didn't see my family looking for it for a long time, and asked, "Are you alone?" What about mom and dad? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Shi's eyes darkened for a moment, and then said with a shallow smile: "My father and mother took my brother away, they said that they were waiting for death here, and they had to leave, but they could only take one with them." ”

"Aren't you afraid to stay in a strange place by yourself?"

"My brother can't call people yet, he's small and thin like a monkey, if he doesn't follow his father, I'm afraid he won't live for a few days, I'm not afraid of my life, I can still have a few mouthfuls of hot porridge to eat if I stay, hehe." After saying that, she couldn't help but giggle again.

She was a child who was abandoned in the famine, and she didn't know the innocence and honesty in her words, which made many people present feel pity, but after answering the words, when she didn't get a response for a long time, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she asked weakly: "Brother, but what did I say wrong?" ”。

Yue Tianyu relieved herself and shook her head with a smile, but before she could answer, she heard Xiao Shi pouting anxiously and said, "I, I don't eat much, really, you believe me." ”

"Well, I believe you." After saying this, the two people, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled.

Yue Tianyu stood up, ignored the group of people behind him who were a little stunned, returned to his previous indifferent appearance, and said with his head slightly sideways: "Lord Yang." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official is here."

"Find someone to settle this child, and by the way, find a doctor to take care of her."

"Your Majesty understands, this will be arranged, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Yang Cheng saw everything in his eyes, although he was surprised in his heart, he still responded respectfully, and immediately ordered his subordinates to do it, and his attitude was so sincere that the chief bookkeeper and others were a little puzzled.

But Yang Cheng himself didn't care, he thought that he had been an official for many years, and he knew the people's aspirations, and he would not naively understand the actions of this Tianhuang nobleman as a momentary kindness, plus now that "King Yu" is in the limelight, and he has the identity of a holy envoy, he disdains flattery, but he will act cautiously with a good intention.

And this, how can a clear-minded person like Yue Tianyu not know, but he doesn't treat it as a bad thing, it is just a way for some people to survive, but it can make children like Xiaoshi get a better settlement, and it can also increase Yuexiao's prestige, why not.

The group returned to the courtyard before noon, Yue Tianyu subconsciously looked at the pillow when he entered the room, there was nothing, and between thoughts, he saw two blue blue as fast as a sword flying towards him, his sleeves waved and rolled, and then spread out, and the two small things of one blue and one blue stared at him innocently with bird's eyes.

His expression was faint, and he hadn't completely relaxed from the episode in the epidemic area just now, but he still doted on the head of one of the birds, "I didn't see you before I went out in the morning, and I thought you didn't plan to come back without saying goodbye." So, I'm looking for a companion, and I'm not back until dinner, right? ”

Xiao Que said in her heart, this person is smart and doesn't save face at all, but if it weren't for this, it really didn't plan to come back so early.

Alas, forget it, send people under the fence, it endures! Whoever let himself look like a bird now, since birth, it has lived in human form for nearly a hundred years, and now let him go out to find worms to eat, it is really better to kill him.

And the departure a few hours ago was indeed to find a companion, but it was not the current one.

He flew most of Qinghua County, and made great efforts to find the place where the durian lived, but because he couldn't speak, he had to exhaust the remaining meager spiritual power, and told the durian with a secret technique, let him be careful of the man in black who hurt him, and let him go back to the Immortal Valley first, and then find a way to contact Bai Ran, and he himself planned to cultivate in Yue Tianyu, and by the way, he stared at the situation so that he could find out the intention of the man in black, because he always had an inexplicable bad premonition that something big was going to happen.

After such a discussion, the durian planned to leave, and before leaving, for the safety of the little finch, he specially left the kingfisher, in case something happened, there was also a response, so there were now two big and one small appeared in front of Yue Tianyu.

It's just that compared to the negative belly slander of the little finch, Xiao Cui not only fully fulfilled the duty of a guard, but also knew more about the consciousness of a pet, so before the little finch did not move, it jumped forward twice earlier, and used its beak to dial the fingers of Yue Tianyu from the top of the little finch's head to his side, and then under his fingertips, swaying from side to side, looking like a coquette.

Yue Tianyu didn't understand it at first, but when she saw it like this, she couldn't help but laugh, these two little ones are so understanding of human nature, it's really amazing.

As a result, the mood that was still a little gloomy was once again magically replaced by this simple beauty.

After lunch, Yue Tianyu, who had been busy since last night, just wanted to rest on the side couch for a while, when he heard a series of hurried knocks on the door, "Your Highness, something happened." ”

"Come in."

The person who came was not Twilight Summer, but the shadow guard Ah Ji, who rarely appeared in Yue Tianyu.

"Your Highness, something happened in the epidemic area."

Yue Tianyu turned his head sideways, looked at him and said, "Talk about the point." ”

"The little girl you asked Yang Cheng to settle down this morning, after the doctor just looked at it, she was infected with an unknown chronic poison, but anyone who has been in contact with her can be infected, so ...... So ......"

"So, it's possible that I've already been infected?"

Aji said, lowered his eyes, and nodded slowly.

"Where's Twilight?"

"After Twilight heard about it, let me report to His Highness, she has now gone to the epidemic area to investigate the situation."

Yue Tianyu nodded when he heard this, slowly spread out his palm and looked at it for a while, but saw a black and invisible dot appear in his palm at some point, so he slowly withdrew his virtual clench into a fist, his face was flat, but his mind was thinking about the causes and consequences of all this.

No matter how you look at it, it's all a game, and they still can't grasp it at this time, the only breakthrough at the moment is Xiaoshi and Twilight, but Xiaoshi ...... A child who is only a young age, thinking of those clear eyes, Yue Tianyu subconsciously denied her possibility, so, is it still twilight?

Probably not, at least she definitely didn't mean to, maybe without her knowing, made someone else's knife? So who is it who came to this trick, trying to kill people with a knife?

Yue Tianyu felt a little suffocated at this moment, he forced himself to stop these conjectures, stood up and changed clothes, before he went out, Xiao Qi'er and Xiao Cui stood on Ah Ji's shoulders respectively, and their eyes chiseled to indicate that they wanted to follow.

Ah Ji looked left and right helplessly, and then looked at Yue Tianyu, but the master obviously had no time to pay attention to him, so he didn't care, and when Prince Yue Tianyu's guards came, he jumped a few times and hid in the dark.

In a temporary medicine house in the epidemic area, a small female doll was lying on a bed in the inner room, and she was still asleep at this time, with a shallow smile on the corner of her lips.

Yue Tianyu was two hours later, and this was the kind of scene when she saw the small stone again, the little girl who had changed into clean clothes after washing revealed her original appearance, her face was fair, her facial features were delicate, her big eyes were slightly closed, her thick eyelashes sprinkled a dark shadow, and suddenly she didn't know what she dreamed of, the corners of her lips that were originally smiling turned down, her eyebrows bulged, and her body trembled slightly and began to sob.

Yue Tianyu reflexively stepped forward, patted her lightly with her palm, and said softly in her mouth that she was not afraid, until she no longer trembled, the warm fingertips of her thumb touched her forehead, and the fear seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye.
