Chapter 460: Help
"What can they do in that case?" Lin Wan'er understood Yuzhu's mood, and she didn't say persecution, but just lightly persuaded: "If you want to live, you can only find everything you can eat."
There are many records in the history books, whether it is war or famine, the people who fled can't escape the choice of eating human flesh in the end, because they want to live, and you have also seen along the way, compared to here, the situation in Fenglin City is not much better. ”
Yuzhu recalled all the things he saw in Fenglin City, although there was a shortage of food, there were always kind-hearted people who were saving them, and the number of dead people was only in the single digits, and it was the first stop for Lin Wan'er to help.
The refugees are still living a stable life after experiencing grief, and they are constantly developing in a better direction, but Qingluan City is different, the people here are still suffering, and people are losing their lives every day due to diseases, even if they have food and money, they can't be saved.
"When they are still sensible, they must be hesitant, after all, this kind of thing is not good at all if it gets out, but no matter how bad the reputation is, you can only hear it if you live, they just follow the instinct of survival." Lin Wan'er's gaze was far away.
She remembered that in the last days, she had seen too much such helplessness, but fortunately, the people here can still be cured, and as long as they come up with a prescription, they can change the outcome of most people.
Listening to Lin Wan'er's words, Yuzhu lowered her head silently, although this was the truth, but when she thought of that scene, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Lin Wan'er knew that it was useless to talk too much, so she directly offered to take her out to see, in addition to the temple, there are also many poor people on the street, because of illness, they can only hide in small shops or gray boxes, even if the Mayan church arranges people to give porridge, it is far from enough for most people.
Yuzhu followed her out, and when she entered the city, she didn't look carefully, and then she kept worrying about her physical discomfort, and it was only now that she completely saw the tragic state of the city.
Compared with here, Fenglincheng is really lucky, if Fenglincheng is pitiful, then Qingluan City is even more palpitating, and even a little terrifying, the empty eyes of the people seem to have lost the hope of living, and they sit on the side like puppets.
The two continued to walk down the street, when they suddenly heard a baby's cry, and walked over to the sound, only to see a thin woman holding a child in her arms, about a year old, clutching the woman's clothes tightly and crying, her voice was a little hoarse, probably because she had not drunk water.
The crying of children at this age is nothing more than two reasons, either urinating, or hungry, looking at the woman's helpless and somewhat desperate face, they also know that this child belongs to the second type.
Lin Wan'er stood in place and didn't move, the child's cry was very miserable, and Yuzhu who listened to it was also uncomfortable, only to see the woman take out a washed white handkerchief from her arms, carefully wipe her fingers, first put it in her mouth and lick it clean, and then tore off the red scab on it.
Yuzhu was wondering what she was doing, when the woman fed her finger to the baby's mouth, and there was something to suck on, and the baby thought it was the mother's milk, and couldn't wait to grab her finger and suck it hard.
A cloudy tear fell from the woman's dry eyes, and when she saw that the child could not be washed, she squeezed it hard, and Yuzhu noticed that there was more than one wound on her finger, which meant that during the period when there was no food, she was a child fed by her own blood.
When Yuzhu came back to her senses, she realized that she was actually crying, she had complained about her experience more than once when she was in the barracks, and felt that God was too unfair to her, and when she went to Fenglin City, she began to change her mind.
Seeing this scene now, she understands how hypocritical she was before, all to survive, those people didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't have the right to disgust it at all.
After figuring it out, Yuzhu wiped her face and went back to cook some millet porridge, as well as egg custard that babies can eat, as well as clothes and drinking water, the woman saw Yuzhu come to help her, and a bit of strange look appeared in her empty eyes, and only reacted after the child cried again, and quickly fed the child water, and then slowly gave him food.
"Thank you, girl, thank you." The woman's voice was hoarse, her lips were trembling, she looked straight at Lin Wan'er and Yuzhu, her eyes were filled with a burst of heat, today she met a kind person, she really couldn't hold on.
"It's okay, no thanks." Yuzhu wiped his tears while waving his hand, looked at the child who had recovered some of his spirits and said, "It will be fine soon, it will definitely be fine." ”
Yuzhu got up and walked in front of Lin Wan'er, her eyes and the tips of her nose were red, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and apologized for her previous ignorance, there are so many helpless things in this world.
Lin Wan'er had a hint of relief in her eyes, and took the opportunity to say some great words about motherhood, for a mother, a good life for her children is her greatest wish, no matter what age it is.
"I understand the county lord, I'm going to help together." Yuzhu remembered her mother, although she was a small family, she was only a concubine when she got married, because she was a girl and she was not favored, even so, she still gave all her love to herself, and at the last moment of her life, she was worried about whether she could escape.
Looking at Yuzhu's hurried back, Lin Wan'er rubbed the corners of her forehead with a calm face, she also thought of her children, and she didn't know how they were doing in the capital, at least they had no worries about food and clothing, which was already very good.
"Lin girl? Is that you? Just when she was out of her mind, a Chen Hou's voice came, Lin Wan'er looked up suspiciously, and saw a familiar person coming towards her, she squinted her eyes slightly, and actually saw an acquaintance in this place.
The person who came was a doctor from Anxiang Village, named Zhu Kui, who had dealt with Lin Wan'er, but he was not very familiar with it, but it was also a very exciting thing to see acquaintances in this kind of place.
"Doctor Zhu? How did you end up here? Lin Wan'er looked at Zhu Kui with some surprise, because she hadn't seen her for too long, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight.
Zhu Kui sighed and explained: "I originally heard that there are medicinal materials I need here, so I came to find medicine, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, so I simply decided to stay and help, the doctor is benevolent, I can't stand them suffering like that, but it's you, Lin girl, you haven't changed a lot for a while." ”
