He was drinking in the house, and he was really in a bad mood for the past two days, and he didn't pay attention to the movements outside.

He only found out about it yesterday evening, so he threw away the flask and changed his clothes, and came to her early in the morning.

In his heart, he fiercely recognized Huang Yunqing's brother, if he hadn't suddenly had a child, maybe this thing would have happened, where would he go to cry.

He had already packed up his things, and it was useless to stay here, and he planned to go back to the capital to join the army, but he didn't think that things would take a turn for the better.

He even wants to set off firecrackers to celebrate now.

Zhao Yi didn't give him a look, and directly instructed the coachman: "Let's go." ”

Zhou Jinan was not annoyed, and followed them slowly in the carriage.

When he arrived at the city gate, the army was already waiting here, and when Zhao Yi's carriage came, they knelt down and saluted, and it was Xia Rin who led the team in front, he saw Xiao Tao and smiled at her, squeezed his eyebrows, and Xiao Tao gave him a blank look when he saw this.

It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Tao since the last goodbye, and he still remembers this funny little girl in his heart.

Even Li Baojia glanced at them twice, rolled his eyes, and wondered when these two people had intersected.

Their carriage was in front, Zhou Jinan's carriage was behind, and there were military guards in front and behind, accompanied by Wang Yiming, the head of the Ministry of Works, and Fang Xian, the deputy head of the Ministry of Engineering, who were proficient in water conservancy and drought control.

Among them, although the king is over half a hundred years old, he has studied water conservancy, water tanks, and drainage channels for decades, and is a good hand in this area.

Fang Xian was picked up by Wang Yiming, and he was also taken up by the imperial examination, and his family used to be farmers for generations, but he is not very old now, but he is less than thirty.

This time Zhao Yi wanted to personally treat the disaster, they naturally wanted to go together, these two adults were from poor backgrounds, and their positions in the court were not high, in addition to them, there were other officials who were good at drought management who wanted to come, but for some reason, Zhao Yi only approved these two adults to come.

Fang Xian asked in the carriage, "Teacher, why did you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only brought us out this time?" Many people in the Ming and Ming dynasties were willing to come over to serve. ”

Wang Yiming touched his beard, and his eyes flashed: "How can His Highness's mind be so easy to guess, you and I can do things well." ”

In fact, he had a guess in his heart, but it was not appropriate to say it now.

His eyes looked out the window leisurely, and his heart was firm, if it went well this time, maybe he would be promoted when he went back......

The carriage drove slowly out of the city, and the city was full of prosperity, but outside the city gate was completely miserable.

People of all sizes here were ragged and emaciated, and many of them were lying directly on the side of the road, their bones clearly visible, their eyes glazed over, and their faces ugly.

Li Baojia quietly opened the curtain and took a few looks, and saw some people fighting for half of the steamed buns that fell to the ground.

The steamed buns rolled to the ground and were stained with dust, dusty, but one of the thin men threw himself on the ground and desperately stuffed it into his mouth, two people next to him pulled him, and when he saw him eat the steamed buns, he remembered that his eyes were red, and one person behind him even pulled his mouth and poked his fingers into it to clasp him in the throat and let him spit out the steamed buns.

The man who ate the steamed bun swallowed hard, retched a few times and didn't vomit the steamed bun out, his face was flushed, and his eyes bulged as if they were about to fall out.

These men were scrambling next to them, and a woman here suddenly wanted to rush to Li Baojia's side, but was stopped by layers of guards, she obviously saw Li Baojia open the curtain.

Although a large group of refugees next to them saw this large group of people dressed decently, there were military handles next to them, so they naturally did not dare to move more.

Sometimes it is common for these officials to pass by here, but this has nothing to do with them, no matter how rich the officials are, it is impossible for them to leak even a little bit from their fingers.

They are just a bunch of untouchables.

Who cares if they live or die?

The woman was holding the child in her hand, and she happened to see Li Baojia, but she didn't expect that this time it was a girl sitting in the carriage, and the girl had always been soft-hearted, so she wanted to come and try her luck.

She shouted, "Girl...... Okay, girl, our mother and son haven't had a bite of rice soup for a few days, so let's get some food......"

The baby in her arms had her eyes closed, her face was purple and purple, her head was large and her body was small, wrapped in rags, and she looked pitiful.

The woman was still crying: "Girl, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me, take pity on my child, he's still so young, give him something to eat, a small child can't eat much...... Okay, okay girl......"

Li Baojia couldn't help but be moved when she saw it, she had never seen such a scene like purgatory on earth when she was so old, singing and dancing in the city, but here it was ......

This is the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.

She looked at the remaining pastries in the box and was about to take them out, but next to Zhao Yi grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.

Li Baojia was a little puzzled, they brought enough food, and the army behind them naturally had military food when they arrived in Jingzhou, why didn't Zhao Yi let her give pastries?

"They are so pitiful, and the child is still very young...... Give him something to eat. ”

Zhao Yi raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to look at the child in her arms: "Didn't you find out, that child is dead?" ”

Li Baojia was startled, looked at the small figure in her arms, her face was bruised and purple, her mouth was white, and she didn't see the ups and downs of her breathing after looking at it for a while: "Then, that child is dead?" ”

Zhao Yi said: "Her way of holding the child is unfamiliar, the mouth of the ordinary child is generally open and breathing, especially when she is hungry, and the child is thin like this, but this woman is just dirty in clothes, and she looks stronger than the men next to her, don't you think it's a little strange?" ”

Li Baojia looked at the woman carefully, she was still crying, holding the child tightly in her hands, and her body was indeed not as thin as those people next to her.

And she also noticed that most of these refugees are men, few women and children, and the elderly are even less pitiful, and it is not far from the gate of Huicheng, but it will take many days to walk from Jingzhou.

If you don't have some skills, you can't get here at all, and you won't be able to do it halfway, so most of the people here are young men.

Although they are thin like this, at least they are alive.

Zhao Yi said: "If you give it to her, those people next to you will definitely come up and ask for it, can you give it to so many people?" ”

He asked Li Baojia to look out of the carriage, and sure enough, although the men did not come forward, they all looked at this side, if she gave this woman food, I am afraid that they would immediately flock to the carriage regardless of it.

She had a chill on her back, and quickly lowered the curtain of the car: "Then is that woman really holding her child?" ”

Wouldn't it be to rob someone else's to pretend to be pitiful?

Zhao Yi's finger tapped the edge of the table: "It should be her reserve grain." ”
