"I've got you!" The two furious men hurried forward, their eyes sharp, and after taking the steamed bun in his hand, they took out a piece of flatbread from his wardrobe.

"Okay, you bitch, and you've got a piece of bread hidden! Look grandpa, I won't kill you! "Lifting his coat pocket and stepping forward was a kick, punch and kick, and the big punch against him was beyond the limit.

After a while, seeing the beggar's suffering, if it went on like this, he would definitely be beaten to death.

Yu Jin really couldn't stand it anymore, and walked forward without squinting.

His back was straight, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand.

As he walked, he said softly: "The strong man rests, the strong man is not angry." ”

The strong man was stunned when he heard this, and then he frowned with a blank face.

"Who are you?!"

Yu Jin opened the folding fan elegantly and waved it.

"This person has started stealing, it's his fault, you see you've already taught her a lesson, right?"

Yu Jin took out a silver ticket from his cuff, and one of the strong men hurriedly accepted it, "Since Gongzi said so, then forget it." ”

Then he kicked the beggar lying on the ground again, "You have gone shit luck today!" These words obviously put Yu Jin in an embarrassing situation.

Spit out blood, and said contemptuously: "Young man, you don't have to worry about me, two strong men just kick me to death!" ”

Yu Jin was shocked when he heard this, and the strong man was stunned.

"Don't bother with him, if this person really wants to die, he won't use stealing food crops to maintain his survival, Gongzi farewell!"

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Oh, I think so too." ”

With that, she turned and walked forward.

The beggar was stunned for a long time, and when he saw Yu Jin riding the carriage a meter away from him, he hurriedly got up and staggered down, "Shaoxia, you are a good person, you go to a place with me." He gasped slowly, the rags on his back soaking wet.

At a closer look, her withered and dusty face was covered with new and old wounds, all of which were now exposed.

Shunhua tugged at the corner of her clothes, shook her head and said no.

Yu Jin sighed deeply, pulled down the curtain, still took out a belt of silver, and said straightly: "Keep going." ”

Walking through the lush woods, she came to a small village. The village was not wealthy, and the villagers were no different from the beggars they had been.

The baby had no milk to drink, and cried continuously, and the mother holding the child secretly wept.

Six out of ten people ate the bark of the tree.

I don't know what the outside world has experienced, Yu Jin is compassionate and distributes all the food in the carriage.

The villagers are only busy eating with guns, and you push me. Several old people couldn't scramble, so they simply sat still. Seeing this, Yu Jin hurriedly took some food and stepped forward.

"Good. There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! Although Yu Jin didn't know what this old man was talking nonsense about, she still patiently handed him a baked cake.

Many people saw Yu Jin dressed gorgeously and looked calm, so they regarded her as a temporary savior, and five minutes later, Yu Jin was about to leave the small village, but was stopped by a group of people.

Yu Jin has always been sympathetic to these people, but this does not mean that she will endure some inexplicable behavior. Lifted the curtain and looked straight at it.

"There was no rain in the whole year last year, and the grass and trees dried up."

"As early as August and September, people pick flowers and plants in the mountains to eat."

"There was a great drought in September and October of the leap month of the tenth year of this year, and there was no rain for a long time."

"Many people died because they had eaten some poisonous herbs and trees by mistake. Some lucky people take advantage of it to prolong their immortality. ”

"In October, there was really no food, so people peeled the bark and ate it."

"After months of famine, people frantically dug up the soil and dug stones to eat, where can the stones and loess be eaten, less food and full, within a few days, these people are distended and fell to death."

"We're okay here, the grain harvested last year is almost exhausted, as short as a few days or as long as a few months, and we will be like the victims of the Eight Famines."

Villagers, you and I told Yu Jin about the disaster around me one by one.

The famine is certainly severe, but it is not without remedy.

"Don't worry, it will be solved."

"How do you tell us to rest assured?!"

"People who don't want to starve to death, they start stealing."

"The most pitiful thing is the abandoned dead baby in the suburbs."

"There are dung eaters, and there are people who eat their own kind!" There was another cacophony, no matter what promises, no matter what, they wouldn't believe it. Yu Jin still hit the guts, let's try.

"Everyone, please don't panic, since I distribute food to everyone, your current situation must be reported to the imperial court, and it will be resolved."

After all, there was a lot of boasting underneath.

"I believe him!"

The boy was very thin, not very old, estimated to be eight or nine years old, and wore a tattered khaki dress, which was very ill-fitting and more and more short.

The contours of the face reveal a weather-beaten fortitude.

He still held a crying, skinny baby tightly in his arms, wrapped only in the rag he had on his body. kept shaking his body rhythmically, constantly patting the baby's back gently, and whispering softly over and over again, "Don't cry, don't cry, there's a brother." ”

For some reason, Yu Jin's eyes suddenly became wet, and the big tears couldn't stop falling, Shunhua reached out to soothe, and the tears wet the back of Shunhua's bright hands.

I don't know if these tears are my true emotions or other feelings. After witnessing the life of the people in such a strange village, especially in this year of famine. This small but warm embrace is too precious.

Looking at the refugees in front of the road, what did they do wrong? They are just scared, scared and expectant.

"Well, I'll stay with you for a few days, and I'll be better prepared after I get to know it."

The villagers were stunned for a moment, and the surroundings became quiet. This silence seems to condense time into a pagoda.

"Shunhua, let's go, I'll stay here."

Yu Jin let go of her hand, folded it up and patted it again, "Don't worry." ”

Shunhua hugged Yu Jin and whispered in his ear: "I will be where you are." ”

Yu Jin stopped talking and acquiesced to her.

Shunhua carefully wiped away the tears on Yu Jin's face with her hands, revealing a warm smile, "If the heart is sunny, you will be fearless and sad." ”

I wanted to get out of the car, but I was stopped by the refugees, and I even said sorry, just walked quickly, remembering this place and the refugees in the eight wildernesses.

"We are waiting for you, and the victims of the world are waiting for you."

The world's disaster victims...... Isn't there anyone in charge? Yu Jin shook her head, "It's getting late, let's stay here for one night for the time being." ”

The boy took out a small cloth, handed it to Yu Jin, showed a handsome smile, and said with a smile: "It will absorb and absorb your tears, so that you won't be sad all the time." Yu Jin didn't know what to say, so she took the rag and touched the boy's head. Thank you".

Yu Jin and the others stopped in this small village.

A rough broken bowl, the pattern on the edge has been worn out so that it is impossible to see what it is, and the edge of the bowl is covered with dense notches.

A bowl full of bark soup mixed with fine grains of yellow sand, except for some bark, there is nothing.

Simple bark boiled in the soup, the smell is a smell of grass, the boy handed over a pair of chopsticks made of temporary branches, Yu Jin took it, did not hesitate, took it and ate it with relish, the villagers saw that Yu Jin was not taboo and smiled happily, and began to gradually close the distance with Yu Jin.

Seeing this, Shunhua also followed, Yue'er lowered her head, hesitated and took a bite into her mouth, her mouth was bitter, and the taste of loess was not food, it felt like it was not food, it was more like a foreign body blocking her throat, she couldn't swallow it, she only chewed mechanically.

With an expression that wanted to be disgusting but couldn't, he ate this bowl of boiled bark with tears in his eyes.

Eat a few bites and rest, rest and eat a few bites, I can't help but occasionally gently cover my mouth and gag a few times. The boy looked at Yue'er with his eyes, every time she opened her mouth to take a bite, the boy also gently opened his mouth, as if he was teaching Yue'er how to eat, and when he saw her swallowing hard, he would squint his eyes happily.

The chopsticks were fiddling in the bowl, and suddenly I saw a slender thing, and when I picked it out, it turned out to be a small earthworm.

Yue'er's eyes widened, and the boy shouted happily when he saw this, "Oh, oh, my sister has eaten the 'Earth Dragon', and my sister has eaten the 'Earth Dragon'." In such a difficult environment, it should be very lucky to eat the so-called "earth dragon".

It's so tempting on a night like this. Yue'er held the "earth dragon" with chopsticks and sent it to the boy, saying, "You can eat." ”

The boy immediately blinked his eyes excitedly, chewed without hesitation, chewed finely and spit into the baby's mouth, and then licked his mouth to enjoy the last taste of the "Earth Dragon".

Seeing this, Yue'er looked painfully at the half-bowl of boiled tree bark she had left, stirred it, and couldn't eat it now. "I'm full." The boy was slightly stunned for a moment, looked at the uneaten clear water bark in Yue'er's hand, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and after a long time, he took the initiative to reach out and take it.

He smiled and said to the baby in his arms, "Baby, we have food again." ”

"Baby, today you can finally get a good night's sleep." The boy's eyes were bright, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Her nose suddenly became sore, Yue'er lowered her head, tears swirling back and forth in her eyes, but she always endured and controlled. He quickly said sorry, got up and ran out.

The moonlight is bleak, but fortunately there is a bonfire. Shunhua leaned her body tightly against Yu Jin's body, curled up, small.

Yu Jin looked at the capital, maybe at this moment, the capital is still brightly lit, there are many people in the Chunhua Building who are drunk, silk and bamboo strings, and wine ponds and meat forests.

Behind the splendor of the eternal night lies a group of emaciated people who are bitter and cold.

The famine is extreme, and the flow is a thief, and it can be seen that there are people who are unwilling to starve to death and take risks in this regard, just like the beggar I met today.

On the other hand, there are also those who cannot starve to death and have enough material savings to steal.

If politics is cultivated, then if the other side pays attention to this, the loss is more than one makes up for the shortage, and the manpower can be used to fight against natural disasters, but it is "the division is bound by the strictness of the merit order, and it has to be strictly urged".

This sentence is enough to show that whether it is famine or thieves, it is in fact that politics is the cause.
