Zhao, Zhaoqing three years.

In the land of the north of the sword, the locusts of the past year passed through, and the cicadas of this year are panting and thundering.

On March 12, in the north of Qingxi County, the ground shook the mountains.

In a deserted, devastated mountainous area, rocks cracked, trees were broken, and several corpses could be seen scattered in between.

Judging from the clothes, it should be an official errand.

"Whew~"

Chen Feng struggled to push away the corpse pressed on his body, looked at the surrounding environment, and his heart suddenly cooled.

The wall is ruined.

Broken trees, crumbling rocks, and the smell of blood in the air.

Just now, on the way to take office, there was a sudden earthquake, and the cars and horses were damaged, if it weren't for the people around him to protect each other, I am afraid that I would have become a mess of meat under the rocks.

Yes, Chen Feng is the new county lieutenant of Qingxi County, and he is ranked from the ninth rank in the Jokhang rank.

Maybe no one dares to believe that before being this Jiupin Sesame Official, Chen Feng was still a thief.

"Shhh

Chen Feng, who had a broken leg and struggled to prepare, had to accept this fact.

Enduring the severe pain, he grabbed a broken branch as a crutch, and finally stood up with his uncompetitive body.

After confirming that there were no living people, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it is said that you are under the order of Wanchun to monitor me, but if it weren't for you, my life would be lost now, forgive my little brother for being incompetent, there is no way to let you be buried in peace for the time being,"

"But I, Chen Zishi, have always been grateful for my kindness, and when my younger brother goes out to look for someone, I will definitely not let you lie in this wilderness."

After treating the wounds on his body a little, Chen Feng roughly determined the north-south direction through the tree rings, and then left on crutches and endured the pain.

The sun is shining.

Limp north, north is the direction of Qingxi County, maybe there will be people on the way.

Besides, he has been planning for so long, and he finally got out of the control of Lai Wanchun, and he can't give up.

As long as you see someone and tell each other your identity, you can return to the county government safely.

It's twilight.

Chen Feng saw a cracked field, which was supposed to be the season for sowing, but there were no people busy with the farm.

Between the fields, there is only a group of victims who look like walking corpses.

Chen Feng heard a few months ago that Qingxi was extremely badly affected, but when he saw this scene, he still felt a little unbelievable.

From the dead air that spread from the disaster victims, he knew that the disaster in Qingxi County was even more serious than he imagined.

"Mother, look, there seems to be someone there?"

In the procession of about fifty or sixty victims, a child raised a wooden stick in his hand and pointed at Chen Feng.

For adults, it is not unusual, and along the way, their team has brought in many people who share the same disease.

Chen Feng's haggard face still showed a little light, no matter what, if he can meet someone, he will have the hope of living.

On top of that, his physical strength has been difficult to continue to support himself.

"It turned out to be a cripple."

The child has a dark complexion, and he doesn't know how long he hasn't eaten enough, and he is as thin as a bamboo pole, but when he sees Chen Feng's miserable appearance, he may feel a little comforted.

Several victims gathered around, but they didn't mean to help.

"It's really miserable that my feet are bleeding."

"Who is not miserable in this world?"

"He looks like a scholar?"

Chen Feng propped himself under his armpit with a cane and bowed, "Fellow villagers, I am going to the county seat, I am the newly arrived county lieutenant, and I accidentally fell down the hill beforehand; ”

Speaking of this, Chen Feng had already keenly noticed that the faces of the victims were becoming more and more ugly.

One of them was shocked: "What? You're the new county lieutenant?! ”

You could tell he was angry.

Chen Feng didn't know where his anger was coming from.

"It's actually an official, God has eyes, it's just how not to kill you."

The ground movement that had just happened was very violent, and they naturally knew about it.

Chen Feng was stunned for a while, everyone was ignorant of their lives, why did they scold people as soon as they came up, and they cleaned the county people's customs so strongly?

"No one who is an official will die well!"

A woman who was about to bring water scolded her, then decisively put away the kettle, "Leave him alone, let him fend for himself." ”

"I think it's cheaper for him to fend for himself, and it's thanks to him that everyone is homeless, so it's better to kill him here."

"Yes, kill him, why didn't my three liters of rice support you."

Three liters is not much, it is only about four and a half catties.

But for the victims, it can definitely save lives.

Chen Feng didn't understand at all, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" I only entered Qingxi County today, when will I eat your family's grain? ”

"Anyway, we're dying, let's kill him and bury him!" The man raised the stick in his hand.

Right now.

"Stop!"

A hoarse voice with determination came from behind the crowd, and then a girl in thin clothes ran out, she stopped directly in front of Chen Feng and asked the man, "Uncle Wang, since he only arrived today, how could he take your food?" ”

"Ayazi, you little girl, go away,"

The man surnamed Wang was already a little weak, and put down his crutches again, "I don't know that he only came today, but if it weren't for him, those dog officials would have an excuse to rob us of our food, and besides, there is no good thing in the officials." ”

Officials rush to grab food?

Became an excuse to grab food?

Chen Feng frowned, when he came from Guangyang Mansion, the prefect came to Wanchun and said that the water in Qingxi was very deep, but he didn't expect that not only was the water deep, but also dark, and the officials could grab food in the disaster year?

"The old men of the county government used him as an excuse, is it his crime?"

The girl's body is delicate, her face is exhausted, and her voice is hoarse, "Li Si always cheats and cheats outside under the banner of uncle, does uncle really want to pay for him?" We have to be reasonable. ”

"This..."

One sentence made the man's face red, and he could only say strongly: "But he is an official." ”

The girl asked rhetorically, "Does being an official necessarily be bad?" ”

The man was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I haven't seen a good official in all these years. ”

Someone chimed in: "It's just that they are all things that eat people and don't spit out bones, and it's better to die one less and one less." ”

At this very moment.

"Ayako, come here,"

A woman wrapped in a headscarf stepped out of the crowd with her support and said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business here." ”

"Mother,"

The girl shouted, then turned to look at Chen Feng.

Although the girl was very thin and had a little dust on her cheeks, her eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water.

She was dressed in tattered linen clothes, and a few strands of hair were scattered randomly on her forehead, but it was strangely eye-catching.

She looked light, looked at Chen Feng with a firm gaze, and asked, "Are you a good official?" ”

Chen Feng was slightly stunned, and finally took his eyes off the girl's face, feeling the strong malice emanating from the surroundings.

I thought to myself, can I say a word?

So he said without hesitation: "Ten years of cold window is to benefit one party, and this is the way to be an official below." ”

The girl smiled and said, "A gentleman's word." ”

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's hard to chase a horse." ”

The girl said seriously: "I'll send you to the county seat." ”
