Chapter 31: Life and Death
"Alright, let's go!"
Ye Jiaojiao followed the prestige, and the owner of the house was standing at the door, holding a little girl in his hand. The little girl, dressed in rags and with teary eyes, stood there without speaking.
The man who spoke to the owner of the house was a man, also dressed in rags, with messy hair and too much dust on his face, so he couldn't tell his age, but his cheeks were washed out of two tears. Holding a steamed bun in his hand, his eyes kept looking at the little girl.
Ye Jiaojiao took a few steps forward, and saw the ragged man turn around suddenly and walk outside the village. The little girl shouted loudly, "Daddy! The man did not look back and ran out of the village.
Ye Jiaojiao never knew what folk suffering was, even if he had heard of the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, he had only heard of it. When she saw this kind of thing with her own eyes, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, and the man exchanged his daughter for a steamed bun. The girl was crying so hard that she could see that she wanted to chase her father, but she was afraid of the person who held her, and all that was left was tears.
"Princess!" Ani walked over, and she saw the scene as well.
"Ani, why would that father bear to leave his daughter?" Ye Jiaojiao felt distress for the little girl, anger towards the father, and hatred for the owner.
If it weren't for the princess who had to go to Juezhou, she would never have seen this kind of thing in her life! "Princess, no father wants to leave his daughter!" Ani could feel that there must be a huge fluctuation in the princess's heart, "He is looking for a way for his daughter to live, follow him, her daughter may starve to death one day, it is better to stay in a family with enough to eat, and still live well!" ”
"Really?" Ye Jiaojiao just felt uncomfortable, "So that she can live!" ”
After dinner, she went on the road again, and Ye Jiaojiao still suffered from bumps on horseback, but she also saw more life and death. How could she have seen such a miserable world before? She couldn't remember how many times those mothers wanted to give her a child, and the guards reminded her not to be soft-hearted, in case this group of people found out that they had food on them, and they swarmed up, and the result was terrible!
The guards also transferred several officials from the local government to escort the princess Xi to Juezhou. Relying on the guards and officials, Ye Jiaojiao's courage also regained strength, and the fleeing crowd rarely stepped forward to look for trouble when they saw the officials.
It's just that along the way, Ye Jiaojiao has been greatly impacted, and she has seen too many miserable partings in the world, which makes her miss her family in Jingcheng more and more. Whenever this happens, she will recite the Taibai Sect's chicken picking mantra several times to calm her mind.
There was mud everywhere, and Ye Jiaojiao's lower body was all stained with muddy water. Standing on the hillside, looking at the messy Juezhou, the whole city was soaked in water.
"Princess, be careful!" Ani came over and straightened her clothes for Ye Jiaojiao, for fear that the rain would damage her.
I thought that when I arrived in Juezhou, I would at least have a clean house to live in, although I didn't dare to expect it to be the same as when I was in the Ye family, but at least it was reasonable. But as soon as he entered the city, Ye Jiaojiao had no hope. Look at the knee-high water, look at the filthy stuff floating on the water, she's going crazy! It's really a sentence, I can't cry if I want to!
It was easy to find the place where Zheng Luoting lived, Ye Jiaojiao was fortunate in his heart, according to the identity of the prince, he lived in a higher place and got rid of the situation of being with water.
And what made her very unhappy was that Zheng Luoting didn't accept her love at all. Seeing her coming, she was still expressionless, as if Ye Jiaojiao was a troublemaker. But he was willing to come and have a look.
"Princess, do you think it's fun to come all the way to Juezhou?" The matter of cleaning up the river was enough to worry him, and now this princess of Chu has run inexplicably again.
