Chapter Fifty-Eight: Stubborn Disease
The mangled half-corpse lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the corpse collector to arrive.
It seems that this is his final way home.
The mangled body, the black and red blood on the ground.
Tell everyone all the time.
This is the most real drought! This is the most real situation of the people.
There was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the hungry people were cannibalistic.
The eight big characters on the dossier could not write the most real tragic situation of the victims.
Xu Yi didn't show it on his face, but he had countless mixed tastes in his heart.
"Whew~!"
Xu Yi exhaled a deep breath and looked up at the victims on both sides of the road.
When Xu Yi looked at those victims, those victims were also looking at Xu Yi.
From those eyes, Xu Yi saw numbness, decay, despair and many other emotions.
But he didn't see the hope of life.
Yes also.
The first and second Kyung Zhao Yin exploited them and treated them as goods to be sold.
The third Jing Zhaoyin was dedicated to them, but in the end he ended up with a full slaughter.
Now, the fourth Jing Zhao Yin has arrived, and God knows if this fourth Jing Zhao Yin is good or bad?
And how will it be to them.
Xu Yi silently retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Let's go, continue to move forward!" ”
The words fell.
Xu Yi strode towards the victims.
Behind him, Zhao Shou, who had fallen into deep self-doubt due to cannibalism, quickly came back to his senses when he saw this.
quickly caught up with Xu Yi.
Compared with Zhao Shou's distraction, Xu Yi's five flavors are mixed.
The reaction of the two hundred soldiers was too calm.
It was calm enough that the appearance of such a corpse seemed inevitable.
It's so calm that even if there are hundreds of corpses in front of you! Thousands of similar corpses, they will not be the slightest moved.
Without him, during the days when they were on duty at Xuanping Gate, they saw too many similar scenes.
Everyone slowly moved forward, and after a while, they came to a rice-shaped intersection.
The road leads in all directions, connecting Chang'an City with the many counties below it.
It is precisely because of this that the number of victims on this road is far greater than in other places.
And at this moment, both sides of the road were kneeling with children.
The children, without exception, were all boys, and all of them were marked with straw stickers.
Zhao Shou stretched out his hand and pointed to the boys with straw sticks, and his fingers trembled: "Sixth Master." ”
"This ...... These...... These people sell their children again? ”
Coincidentally, in the few days of waiting for the appointment, Zhao Shou had just read the classic book of inserting the bid and selling the head.
Xu Yi nodded, but did not speak.
I really looked at the boys who were being sold as goods by their parents, and I didn't know what to say.
Can it be said that the boy's parents are ruthless?
No.
If there is a way, who wants to sell their children?
Zhao Shou didn't ask why there were only boys and no girls.
Reason: Zhao Shou heard from the shopkeeper yesterday.
For a while, Zhao Shou lost his soul again.
A moment later.
Zhao Shou raised his head and looked at Xu Yi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sixth Master, let's help them, they ...... They are so pathetic. ”
Xu Yi turned to look at Zhao Shou, whose eyes were red, and sighed in his heart.
Some people, even though they have a very difficult life, will always pity others.
Zhao Shou is like this, and Xu Yi himself is not.
Xu Yi turned around, turned his back to Zhao Shou and said slowly: "Helping is naturally to help, but it is definitely not now." ”
Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi's back puzzled and asked, "Why not now?" ”
Xu Yi, who was facing away from Zhao Shou, wiped the corners of his eyes slightly and asked, "With the strength of you and me, how much can you help?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Shou to answer, Xu Yi said to himself: "With the strength of you and me, even if we go bankrupt, we won't be able to help many people." ”
"Isn't that Zhou Qiping the best example."
"The only way to help them thoroughly is to unite all the forces that can be united and mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized."
There is another sentence that Xu Yi did not say, that sentence is, 'If you want to relieve disasters, you must first get rid of the disease.' ’
In Xu Yi's eyes, the Great Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to a behemoth.
And the appearance of the victims means that this behemoth has been sick.
Disaster relief is the prescription given by the head of the Great Zhou Dynasty (Jinluan Palace) in order to cure diseases.
However, disaster relief alone will not solve the problem at all, and in the end it can only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
In the final analysis, it is the behemoth of the Great Zhou Dynasty that has given birth to parasites.
When a parasite gains enough strength from the prescription to make itself strong.
The rest of the parasites will naturally swarm.
The end result is that those prescriptions don't end up in the pain at all.
Instead, it becomes a nutrient for the growing growth of those parasites.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of the disease, you need to get rid of the parasite first.
Zhao Shou was rarely silent when he heard this.
What Xu Yi said, he could only listen to a half-understanding.
But this did not prevent Zhao Shou from knowing the thoughts of his sixth master.
In front of the road, for some reason, a large number of victims suddenly gathered.
The victims formed a big circle, and there were still the cries of children and the bitter pleading of adults.
Seeing this, Xu Yi looked at Gu Dengyun beside him and said calmly: "Gu Baihu, you and take the soldiers to rest here for a while." ”
Gu Dengyun glanced at the victims gathered in front of him.
What Xu Yi wanted to do, Gu Dengyun could already guess one or two.
Then he looked at Xu Yi in shock. Quickly clenched his fists and said, "My lord can't help it." ”
Xu Yi said calmly: "Where is there anything that can't be helped, a group of unarmed victims." ”
Seeing Gu Dengyun, he wanted to say something.
Xu Yi hurriedly added: "This is an order!" ”
The words fell.
Xu Yi no longer paid attention to Gu Dengyun, who was full of embarrassment, and took Zhao Shou to walk quickly towards the gathered crowd.
There is no way, if you take Gu Dengyun, as soon as everyone arrives, those people will be scattered.
At that time, Xu Yi couldn't inquire about anything.
As for safety, as Xu Yi said, a group of unarmed and hungry victims.
How can you hurt the master and servant who are armed with martial arts and sharp blades?
As the master and servant kept getting closer.
In the crowd, the hoarse cry of the child.
And the humble pleas of the adults became clearer and clearer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am this one son! Please, okay! ”
The voice was clearly made by the child's father.
When the master and servant heard this, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
After a while, they squeezed into the crowd.
Only then did the master and servant see the situation in the circle clearly.
I saw that a small circle was already full of messes.
Some coarse porcelain clay pots, whose original shape is not clear, are scattered in circles.
A middle-aged woman, bleeding from her forehead, was lying in pain and wailing in pain.
Beside the middle-aged woman, a sixteen- or seven-year-old child was crying with horror on his face.
His eyes were full of despair.
And next to the little boy, there was a middle-aged man.
At this time, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically like a chicken pecking rice.
