Chapter Twenty-Four: My Life Is Up to Me

The person serving the rice hurriedly kicked the silver into his pocket and said with a smile: "This little brother is generous. ”

Then he brought a new bowl full of two large bowls: "Come on, come on, for you, and come here tomorrow." ”

Jiang Yu thanked her and wanted to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Shen Yanxi first.

"I'll come," he pulled up his robe and held it in one hand.

Jiang Yu took the bamboo chopsticks from the woman who served the rice and followed Shen Yanxi.

There is also a shed full of seats next to the small shed where you line up for porridge.

In order to save space, there is not even a table.

People who finish their meals can take it home and eat it, or they can choose to sit here and finish it.

People on the benches were next to each other, gobbling up the food in the bowl.

Due to the stakes, the food allocated for disaster relief is often disbursed and withheld at various levels, and finally the food that reaches the actual victims is not satisfactory.

Shen Yanxi knew that Jiang Yu wanted to observe the people's feelings on the front line, so he came to the empty stool and sat down with the bowl.

Jiang Yu sat next to Shen Yanxi and took the meal.

The rice in the bowl is full, it should be the effect of that ingot of silver, and the food in their bowl is more than that of the people next to them. It's going to overflow when it's full.

The people who finished lining up to eat came over one after another to find a vacant seat to sit down, although their clothes were low-key, but they exuded a distinctive temperament and attracted the attention of many people.

The man's facial features are handsome, and the veiled woman's exposed big round eyes are as clear as water, and the two of them gesture with an elegant temperament that is difficult to hide.

Because she had to eat, Jiang Yu had to take off the veil on her face. The face as clear as jade was displayed in front of everyone.

A faint smile appeared on the smooth and delicate face, and the dimples at the corners of the mouth made the whole person more pretty.

In the corner on the side, a man in coarse linen was picking up food, and suddenly saw Jiang Yu's face like a stalk.

"Ahem, ahem." The man was in a hurry to open his mouth to speak, and he was choked on the food just in his throat.

The man with a sharp chin next to him, who was also pulling the food, patted him on the back and said, "Big brother, what's the matter, you can choke on a meal." ”

The man coughed while gesturing to Jiang Yu's side with his eyes, and the man with a sharp chin looked over suspiciously, and his eyes lit up: "Hey? This girl is really good-looking. Big brother, are you in love with it? ”

While patting the back of the man next to him, he said excitedly: "At first glance, she is a beautiful lady, if only you could ...... Hey, but she's next to this man, monkey monkey, the three of us will definitely beat him together! Oops......"

The man with a pointed chin was talking about it, and his head was suddenly slapped on the head by the man next to him: "Big brother, why are you beating me." ”

The man named Monkey next to him was all about the rice in the bowl, and he was not affected by the movement next to him in the slightest.

The leading man finally got his way, he glared at the man with a sharp chin and covered his mouth with one hand: "You be quiet, you kid take a closer look at that woman!" ”

The man with a pointed chin looked at it carefully: "Hey~ Hey, don't say it, big brother, why is this woman a little familiar!" ”

The leading man reminded in a low voice: "Mass grave! ”

As soon as the man with a pointed chin heard this, his two small eyes instantly widened, and a coolness instantly rushed from his tail bone to his head, and he stammered: "This, this, this... Not the one who died that day..."

Before the words could be spoken, his mouth was covered by the man next to him. "Shhhh Don't startle the snake. ”

It turned out that these three men were the ones who were bought by Wang Fu and buried Jiang Xiaoyu alive in the mass grave.

It must be terrifying to see this deceitful face again at this moment.

The man named Monkey on the side only raised his head at this moment, and opened his mouth to say: "What should I do, brother, is this woman a human or a ghost?"

The leading man stared at Jiang Yu's every move and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "The movements are flexible, the finger joints are moving normally, and it should be a living person." ”

When the sharp-chin man heard this, he was about to rush over: "This dead girl, dare to pretend to be a ghost." ”

Before he could take a step, he was pressed down by the leading man: "Don't be impulsive, observe and observe first." ”

At this time, Jiang Yu didn't notice the small movements of the three men at all.

But Shen Yanxi noticed it, and inadvertently glanced at the men, silent.

Shen Yanxi quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl, it was tasteless, and there was still a lot of rice sandwiched.

He is not a prince who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, he was fought out in the military camp little by little.

He looked at Jiang Yu, who was eating seriously, and said, "It's not delicious, don't eat it, I'll take you to get drunk Jiangyue." ”

In this form, even ordinary small restaurants have closed. Only the big restaurants that dignitaries can afford are still open for business.

"Not necessarily."

These are the people's relief food, since the meal, no matter whether it is delicious or not, Jiang Yu also wants to finish it.

"If you eat these raw rice, your body will be harmed after a long time, so notify the disaster relief department and strictly control the cooks who cook." Jiang Yu ate the last bite of the bowl and said.

After they got up and put the empty bowl on the side of the bench, Shen Yanxi carefully put the veil back on Jiang Yu's face again, and the two left the porridge shed.

When they were far away, the people who were sitting close to them quietly put away the empty bowls they had eaten.

I still muttered to them in my heart: I bought a bowl for a silver ingot, but after eating, I said that I lost it.

The scorching weather is like an invisible hand, wrapping the skin in the sun. It's like announcing the arrival of summer.

Jiang Yu is the most afraid of hot weather, which makes people feel uncomfortable from physical to psychological. But at this moment, she was walking on the street, but there was no impetuousness on her indifferent face.

"Is there anyone following behind, do you want to solve it?" Shen Yanxi looked tired, and a fleeting murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

"Robbery?"

Judging from the generosity of the two of them and the extraordinary clothes they have just made, they are most likely to be robbed by people with red eyes at this moment.

Shen Yanxi said: "It's not clear, I've been staring at this side since the porridge shed." ”

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment: "Forget it, let them be, it's not easy to eat in the current situation." ”

***

The three men sneakily followed to a street corner, and suddenly lost their target, "Boss, why are there no people?" It's still ahead of you. ”

The leading man waved his hand: "Withdraw first, they should find us." ”

Jiang Yu and Shen Yanxi came to a temple, which was filled with crowds, and the crowd at the door did not have to be as small as the queue for dinner just now.

All of them had solemn expressions, and their mouths were chattering in pieces.

Some even fell to their knees, folded their hands and closed their eyes.

Jiang Yu casually caught someone and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, what is this for?" ”

The man replied, "Pray for blessings, don't you see?" ”

"Why don't you go in and bow down again?"

"Shh The man said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of the Bodhisattva's blame." It's already full of kneeling inside, and I can't kneel! ”

Shen Yanxi raised his hand and threw a silver ingot to the man, and the latter's expression instantly became kind: "Hehe, this girl, if you ask again, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

Jiang Yu asked again: "Are you all here for the flood disaster?" ”

"Of course, if you want to talk about this year's sudden disaster, it has caused a lot of people. There are not a few people who are bankrupt and ruined. ”

Also, when we encounter the problem of natural disasters, because we can't solve them for a long time, we will pin our hopes on God. I want to pray for God's protection.

"Then why don't you bow down with you?"

The man smiled and whispered, "Well, I don't believe this." ”

The man seemed to be trying to avoid Jiang Yu's questioning, and took the lead in speaking: "Actually, my ancestor also has a little money. I've packed my things and I'm ready to move. As for the two nobles, at first glance, they are also the type who do not worry about food and clothing. Pack up your things and get out of this hellish place early. ”

After that, he added a sentence that he thought was kind: "Hey, don't go east, I heard that Runing is also in dire straits now, and there is a drought over there." ”

"Alright, that's all I have to say. I answered everything I could, what you didn't. No problem, I hurried back to pack my belongings. ”

Jiang Yu said: "No, you can go." ”

"Okay, the two of you will meet again." The man waved his hand cheerfully and walked to the other side of the street.

After the man left, Jiang Yu looked at those who knelt down to worship the gods with a complicated expression, and a faint sadness flowed between her eyebrows.

Shen Yanxi said at the right time: "Those small canals have been repaired by Cui Huanzhi, and they will definitely be completed before the summer rains." ”

"It seems that he is not confused, he knows the importance of this matter, and he actually sent Cui Huanzhi."

Shen Yanxi knew that he was referring to the younger brother on the throne.

"Yes, you can always trust Cui Huanzhi's craftsmanship."

He is also considered the most talented person in the prime of his generation in terms of architecture, and has presided over the construction of large and small palaces and water conservancy projects many times.

"Like you, you will use people." Shen Yanxi said lightly.

Jiang Yu laughed helplessly at his serious ridicule: "Do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Do you believe that the Buddha can really bless us? ”

"Of course I don't believe it, my fate is up to me." The uninhibited tone reveals something untouchable.

If this sentence were said by someone else today, he would definitely be said to be arrogant and ignorant of the darkness and cruelty of society.

But this sentence was said by Shen Yanxi, which can only make people awe-inspired.

He was a victorious general who had been charging into battle on the frontier since he was sixteen years old, and had won many battles.

At the age of twenty, he became a king, and he was able to participate in the handling of political affairs during the period of the first emperor. Now that he holds the power of the dynasty and is in charge of the 200,000 troops on the border, all the civil and military officials bow down when they see him. Even the Son of Heaven has to pay tribute to him as a regent.

"Rest assured, we will win."

In the countless dangers that followed, Shen Yanxi's words echoed in Jiang Yu's ears like a spell, encouraging her.

Yes, no matter how difficult it is, we will definitely win!
