Kyoto was very prosperous during the Daisheng Dynasty, and the cries on the streets were bustling with activity

The pavilions, buildings, carved beams and paintings, and even the people walking on the road are dressed to show the wealth and glory of Kyoto.

In the north of the city, a city god temple, due to disrepair, it seems that no one has managed it anymore, and there are no people passing by.

The dilapidated temples and the bustling Kyoto seem to be two worlds, with the sunset shining on the rooftops and the birds carved on the top falling, as if sighing that the gears of this era will turn again

The gate of the temple is very dilapidated, and it seems that someone has covered it from the inside.

Looking through the crack in the door, there were hundreds of people dressed in tatters, each of them skinny and yellow-skinned, and from time to time there were children's cries, as well as the discussion of the elderly, "How can you live this day, I finally escaped to this capital, I thought that the officers and soldiers would send people to help us, but in the end we had to avoid them to the City God Temple"

The people next to him cried even louder, as if they saw a dark future

Li Jingwan was woken up by this crying sound, she still can't believe that she actually crossed into this place, it has been about three or four days, and she has been staying in this City God Temple since she woke up

I had already interviewed for a company with good conditions and treatment in all aspects, but who knew that I had come to this place and became a homeless person

Li Jingwan is an orphan, her living conditions have not been good since she was a child, her adoptive parents also have their own children, and her life at home is not very good, so she has always longed for her independence after work, but she accidentally arrived at this place on the day she was ready to go to work, which made her feel very devastated.

Looking at her surroundings and the people fleeing around her, she felt even more desperate, without any clue and not knowing what to do

The aunt who was leaning next to her pushed her hand and said in a tone full of pity, "Girl, don't sleep, what if you can't wake up"

Li Jingwan seemed to be immersed in her own world and didn't pay attention to others, just when the aunt saw that she didn't react and was about to continue talking, the dilapidated door was pushed open from the outside with a squeak, and everyone looked at the door a little nervously when they heard the movement

A few old people came in, with the same yellow and thin faces, and their clothes were full of stains, and they were holding steamed buns that they didn't know where they came from

"There are so many rich people in this city, and there are several steamed buns, so everyone will share them quickly." The old man who came in and headed him said as he sent a few old men who couldn't get up

Li Jingwan was still half-lying down, and she still couldn't accept this fact in her heart.

The aunt next to her saw that she was so depressed, and thought that on the way to Kyoto with this girl, her mother was seriously ill and died, thinking that she couldn't think about it, or persuaded her, "Girl, cheer up, you are still young, maybe there will be a way out in the future."

Before Li Jingwan could reply, she only heard a bang at the door, and someone kicked it open.

I saw that a group of officers and soldiers rushed in fiercely with big knives. The leader of the officers and soldiers who walked in front saw that there were almost 100 people here, with a fierce expression and a disdainful expression towards the old man who had just arrived at the steamed buns, and took out the knife at his waist and compared it to his neck, and the old man was directly frightened and knelt in front of the head of the officers and soldiers, and the other refugees also knelt down and shouted together

"Spare your life!!"

"Your Excellency, don't drive us away."

"It's going to be winter soon, if you leave here, you'll freeze to death in winter."

Pleas for life and cries came and went

"I just said that when did there be so many stinky people in the city, so you are hiding here?" After the obscene officers and soldiers finished speaking, they kicked the old man in front

The thin old man didn't even have time to hum after being kicked away, and continued to kneel in front of the officer and soldier leader with shaking his body, pulling his official uniform with both hands and begging for mercy loudly

"Official, please let us go, all the sturdy men in the family have been conscripted to serve as soldiers, last month the village was targeted by bandits, our village is some old and weak women and children, the whole village was looted and now destroyed, the local government doesn't care about us, we finally fled here, please give me a way to live."

After speaking, the old man kowtowed and begged for mercy in front of the dice of the officers and soldiers. The other refugees in the back also cried

However, the leader of the officers and soldiers did not show the slightest compassion, and kicked him again, and the old man had been starving for a long time, and naturally he fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength and could not get up for a while

"What kind of place can you come, I am in the capital of the Great Prosperity Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can I let you stinky rats run around, offending the nobles, can you bear it, now leave me immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude"

After the leader of the officers and soldiers finished speaking, he signaled to the people behind him, and they grabbed the refugees one by one and scolded, "Get out of here, get out of here"

The aunt beside Li Jingwan looked at the situation in front of her and cried loudly, "God, my son went to war to defend our dynasty, but why doesn't there even be a place for us now, how can we live?"

The aunt cried out in a very loud voice, and the officers and soldiers on the side seemed to be afraid that she would cry like this, so they were a little annoyed and angry, and took the whip of the person next to her and rushed over and hit the aunt's body, and the aunt was still holding a four or five-year-old child in her arms, and she was also frightened and cried

The whole ruined temple began to wail again

And Li Jingwan felt very frightened in her heart when she saw all this, although her material conditions were not good since she was a child, and no one cared about her, but at least she grew up under the red flag and finished college safely and healthily, and this Dasheng Dynasty, which she had never heard of, was chaotic like this.

In the past few days, I have only heard from these refugees that they are fighting with several gangs at this time, and the focus is on the battlefield, and there are floods, so bandits are everywhere, and the people in the village often do not have enough to eat

But the emperor of this country was extremely mediocre, did not do the slightest, and forced out a lot of bandits, the refugees here are all from a village, and after being robbed by robbers, the local people fled to Kyoto

But when they arrived, they found that the government here was even more ferocious, and they were caught and beaten and driven away, and ordered to leave immediately, who knew that they hid in this city god temple, and took turns to go out to beg for food every day, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, and secretly followed back

What kind of world is this, God, even if you cross over, at least you let me go to a safe place, I don't know how many days I can live when I look like this, Li Jingwan didn't have time to think about it, and the officers and soldiers standing in front of him saw that the aunt was crying louder and louder, and the whip in his hand was raised high again

"Shut up, don't get out, believe it or not, no one knows if I beat you to death here," said the whip in his hand fell heavily

"Ah~~~~~~" screamed out of Li Jingwan's mouth, and when the whip fell, Li Jingwan quickly got up and hugged her aunt to block the whip, and her back instantly opened her back

Damn, it's painful for me, God let me go back, even if no one loves me for the rest of my life, I will never be hypocritical, Li Jingwan wailed silently in her heart......

The aunt who was blocked was even more distressed, and hurriedly helped her up and said, "Girl, why are you so stupid, it's okay if I die at such an old age"

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers standing laughed contemptuously, and the whip in their hands was raised again, and when everyone was nervous, a stone flew out, and the leather whip in the hands of the officers and soldiers fell in response.

"Ouch, who is his grandmother's plotting against me" The officers and soldiers covered their wrists to inspect the crowd, and when they saw that the other officers and soldiers shook their heads, they had to continue unwillingly, "Hurry up, get me out, who doesn't listen to the advice... Hmph" said and pulled out the knife on his waist with his hand, and then everyone had to get up, supporting each other and preparing to go out

Li Jingwan also helped the aunt, and the aunt cried in a low voice as she walked, "Out of this city, but I really can't live, there are rogues everywhere outside, and I don't even have a place to ask for food, and it's going to be winter soon, and I will be frozen to death."

Li Jingwan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, could it be that she came here for some reason to change her death, no, don't go out, she must not die

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving".

At this moment, it was as if someone in the crowd heard the voice in her heart, I don't know who shouted, everyone didn't want to leave, but it was chaotic again, people pushed around, there was chaos, and some people wanted to run away by themselves outside the door, but they squeezed Li Jingwan to the back

At this moment, Li Jingwan saw the dusty Buddha statue, as if the Buddha statue was also watching herself, and the stone on the Buddha's leg fell, and there was a small hole, which was just not visible outside, and the opportunity was rare

Listening to the gradual silence outside, Li Jingwan looked out with her head bowed, but unfortunately these were a group of old and weak women and children, and they were soon escorted back by the officers and soldiers with knives, and the officers and soldiers pulled out their knives and were intimidated, so they escorted everyone out of the city gate again

After confirming that all the officers and soldiers were gone, he sat back on the weeds with a sigh of relief

"Now I'm staying in the city, but how can I survive in this broken place, is it possible to really ask for food" Looking at the half-closed door again, Li Jingwan let out a long sigh!!
