Chapter 39: The Disaster
When he came to the door, Leng Yi heard that this person was walking briskly and steadily, and his martial arts must be extraordinary, so he immediately rushed out and stopped this person.
"Leng Shaoxia, I have something important to find Miss Su." Fortunately, he said it quickly, otherwise Leng Yi's sword would have been unsheathed.
This person Leng Yi knew, it was the person next to Feng Jinglan-Blood Eagle, Leng Yi didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the house, he himself suddenly sneered, when had he ever been so nervous.
"Miss Su, please come with me!" The man arched his hand, "My family...... Childe has a request. ”
This person Su Muyu knew, and she knew that it was Feng Jinglan's personal guard.
"Look at this!" After speaking, he handed Su Muyu a jade pendant. Su Muyu looked like the one she dragged off Feng Jingche's body, but the word "Lan" was engraved on it, and now she knew that it was all from the palace.
"I'll clean it up!" After Su Muyu finished speaking, she went to pack her things, she didn't see Zijing, she knew that Zijing's current state was not suitable for going with her.
"Xiaoyu, I'll go with you!" The mute girl heard their conversation and ran in to say to Su Muyu.
Su Muyu nodded: "Then you go and clean up, and we'll set off later." ”
Soon the two of them finished packing up and were about to go out, Leng Yi walked out with a sword: "Without me, I'm afraid you won't be able to live to see the person you want to see." ”
"That's not going yet!" Su Muyu pushed him.
Just then a carriage stopped in front of them.
"Childe said, since there is a request, it will definitely not make the girl too wronged."
These two carriages are very spacious, these are the unique specifications of the prince, and they are even more comfortable inside, to be honest, Su Muyu seems to be looking forward to meeting that person.
This way is also peaceful, I encountered a mountain bandit on the way, there are blood eagles and Leng Yi, which is definitely not dangerous.
After a week of traveling, Su Muyu saw many tents, and Su Muyu knew that these simple tents were inhabited by disaster victims.
She saw a family that took out their children and prepared to sell them to the rich people who passed by.
"Girl, you can do it, take this girl away, just a bag of grain." The child's father dragged the crying girl, "This child is healthy, but she has been hungry recently, you can bring it back, as long as she stutters, she can do a lot of things." ”
The girl's mother didn't say a word, just cried in the back.
"Big brother! Why did you sell this child! The mute girl thought that she had not been loved by her parents since she was a child, only she knew how difficult her life was, and how much she wanted to be able to live with her parents, even if she ate chaff vegetables, "Do you know what kind of life a child lives after not leaving his parents?" She was crying.
"Girl, that kind of life also proves that she is alive, you see now, I only want her to live." The man looked at the girl and pushed away ruthlessly, only the man himself knew what it was like to hold back tears.
"Have you consulted her? Did you ask her if she would leave you or die? The more the mute girl spoke, the more excited she became, and she even raised her voice, which Su Muyu had never seen before.
She pulled away the mute girl: "Big brother! I'm sorry, but my sister is a little emotional! We don't sell children, there are some dry food here, you believe me, this day will be fine. Raise your children well. After saying that, he took the food from the car.
"Miss Su, we still need two more days, you gave them all, what should we do?" Blood Eagle Reminder.
"Naturally, there will be a way, you see this little old child, and the woman is sick, I hope to help them survive the day." Su Muyu didn't get into the car without looking back, but the family of three kept kowtowing.
The remaining two days of travel were the most difficult for Su Muyu, she saw too many families who were ready to sell their children, she had no food to distribute, but she couldn't bear these children to be bought, she sent a message back to ask other girls to continue to raise food, which could make her heart a little better, and the dumb girl didn't show a little smile.
"Dumb girl! Don't worry, let's go find Feng Jinglan first, and then figure out a way together. Su Muyu patted the dumb girl on the shoulder, and the dumb girl reluctantly squeezed out a smile that was not a smile.
Two days finally passed, and they also joined Feng Jinglan, Feng Jinglan was particularly haggard at this time, and she looked like she hadn't rested for a long time.
Feng Jinglan saw Su Muyu hugging her, and everyone was stunned, including Su Muyu, so she stood in the distance and let him hold her.
Leng Yi just wanted to go up and pull away, but was pulled by the blood eagle.
"Feng Jinglan!" Su Muyu tried to call him after recovering from his senses.
Feng Jinglan embarrassedly let go of Su Muyu: "I'm sorry, I'm finally looking forward to you, I'm a little excited." ”
"Looking forward to me coming, what can I do?" Su Muyu didn't understand.
"I think you can, I'll take you there!" After speaking, the group came to a majestic river, "This is the culprit." ”
Su Muyu saw mud everywhere along the way, and many houses and crops were destroyed, and the flood water should have receded at this time. But even if the crops grow now, it will not be too late.
In the past two years, the river has been flooded repeatedly, and this originally fertile land has not been harvested for three consecutive years.
This year's flooding along the river basin and the drought in some areas in the north are really a headache, and in less than three years, there will certainly be great chaos, and foreign enemies will still be eyeing our country.
Su Muyu followed the group for a long time, and although there was no child sale in this vicinity, it could be seen that they were having a hard time.
"This post-disaster reconstruction is not a small project." Su Muyu looked around all the way, did he have any familiar plants or anything.
Suddenly she thought, "Do you have a map?" ”
The officer who accompanied him pulled out a map.
"I mean the whole country!"
"In the tent!"
"Then let's go back!" As they walked back, there were loaches left behind by the receding river in the mud.
"It's not that there are loaches, you see there are them there, I guess there are a lot of them down there, and we have a good mouth tonight."
"Can you eat this?" The accompanying official asked tentatively, this is a small black fish that no one eats in this area, this appearance is not very pleasant, not to mention, it still lives in the mud.
"Of course, you can send someone to catch some of them." Su Muyu explained to the officials behind him.
Soon the group returned to the tent, someone handed over a map of Qianguo, Su Muyu looked up, and saw that this Qianguo is basically this big river, there are almost no big rivers in the north, and there is no river in the high terrain in the northwest.
"Why don't we open a canal to divert water, and divert this water along the river to the north, you see here, and here, it is an area with few rivers." Su Muyu pointed to the map and said, "We can unite these provinces to open canals together." Su Muyu drew a line from a piece of burnt wood on the table.
