Da Chu 233 years, Tianbao five years.

There is a great drought in the southwest, thousands of miles of red land, hundreds of thousands of displaced people, gathering into bandits, looting everywhere, cutting off transportation, and everyone is in danger.

Baiyun City is a small city in Liangzhou and belongs to Linjiang Prefecture.

On this day, thousands of displaced people fled to the famine, and Baiyun City closed its gates, not daring to let the victims into the city, but not daring to ignore them.

So on the second day, some officials and gentry set up porridge sheds outside the city to give porridge to the people to calm their emotions, so as not to storm the city gates.

Jiang Yi staggered to the back of the line and waited for porridge.

He held a missing clay bowl in his hand, craned his neck, and stared at the hot air coming out of the porridge shed, and his mouth kept swallowing saliva.

One by one, the victims received a bowl of porridge and water that could count even the grains of rice, drank it all in a few bites, and licked it cleanly, never daring to leave the team to eat it again.

Because once you leave the team, you will be robbed by someone if you are not careful.

Even if they are all disaster victims, they are hierarchical.

I don't know how long it took to queue up.

Jiang Yi finally saw the big pot of porridge.

But the small official of the yamen who gave porridge turned over the big basin and knocked it with a spoon to show that there was no more porridge.

"Today's porridge is gone, and tomorrow is back."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly felt sour, and he almost burst into tears.

It's about to get him.

Thinking about it made him even more sad.

When did he ever cry over a bowl of porridge.

Some hungry people like him stepped forward to entangle, knelt on the ground and begged the master to give more porridge, but were kicked away by the little official.

If someone stops again, they will be beaten all over their bodies and cried and screamed.

But they didn't dare to resist at all, for fear that tomorrow they would not give porridge.

After beating himself so much that he had no strength, the little official had to take a sip:

"Phew, a bunch of untouchables!"

Only then did he leave haughtily.

If it weren't for the fact that the lord was worried that this group of untouchables would not be able to see a way out of life and storm the city gates, they would not even have this little food.

The little official tugged at his pocket, satisfied.

Inside was the silver he had obtained by deducting half of the victims' rations, enough for him to go to Xiaohong for two nights.

Jiang Yi moved back to the foot of the city wall, where the sun was not shining.

There were many other people like him, all of them motionless, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of their chests, from a distance, they would be rows of dead bodies.

He also tried not to move himself, saving the little energy left in his body, hoping to stay up until the next day's porridge.

If it weren't for this disaster, Jiang Yizhen didn't know that he could bear it so much.

Since crossing over to this dying body two days ago, all he can remember now is one word - hunger.

All he could remember was grass roots, tree bark, and wild dogs for food, and the rice he used to eat became a delicacy that he could only taste in his dreams.

In the face of hunger, he lost all his ambitions.

And he was only sixteen years old, so thin that he couldn't do anything with only his skinny body.

By the way, he also has a plug-in.

A properties panel that hasn't moved for a while.

[Jiang Yi, Strength: 0.53 (0.75), Dexterity: 0.61 (0.81), Constitution: 0.54 (0.77), Spirit: 0.83 (1.20), Attribute Points: 0.00]

(The average of standard attributes for normal adults is 1)

He has read the online article and knows how to add points, but he has no clue where the attribute points come from for the time being.

In a daze, Jiang Yi heard someone calling him.

"Little brother, little brother."

When he opened his eyes, he saw a thin but delicate face.

In memory, this is his sister Jiang Tingting, and she is also his only remaining relative.

On the way to escape, their family first encountered horse bandits, and their father was bumped into by horse bandits in order to protect them.

Then the mother was so sad that she left the only food rations for her siblings and hanged herself from a tree in the middle of the night.

The two sisters and brothers have supported each other so far, and along the way, they can't bear to talk to others.

As a result, two days ago, his younger brother was gone, making him wake up stiff.

"Sister, why did you wash your face?"

Jiang Yi was suddenly startled, and his hand was about to wipe Jiang Tingting's face.

Jiang Tingting doesn't look at the moment so thin that she is a little out of shape, but she has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, so as soon as she escaped from the famine, Jiang Tingting kept plastering her face and deliberately pretending to be ugly.

The previous time Jiang Tingting inadvertently revealed her true face, she provoked a hooligan to covet her, and she came in the middle of the night to forcibly insult her.

Thanks to Jiang Yi's enthusiasm at that time, he smashed the hooligans with a stone and scared people away.

Later, they escaped from the refugee group, mixed in with another group of refugees, and stopped and stopped until they arrived in Baiyun City.

Since that accident, Jiang Tingting has never shown her true face again.

"It's okay."

Jiang Tingting hugged Jiang Yi tightly, tears flowed from her eyes.

"It was my father and mother who picked me up and raised me, and I am a member of the Jiang family.

Now that my father is gone, my mother is gone, and we have you left in the Jiang family. Promised my sister that I must live well.

No matter what, you have to live. ”

She took out three small bags of rice and a grain of broken silver from her arms and stuffed them into Jiang Yi, and whispered:

"Little brother, there are three bags of rice here, one bag of one catty, and two taels of silver, don't lose them."

"Sister, where did you get the food and silver?"

Jiang Yi was overjoyed at first, and then thought of something, and almost screamed.

"You sold yourself!"

In every disaster year, in order to survive, there are not a few people who sell their children and daughters.

In Baiyun City, there will be large families who come out of the city every day to buy some maids and slaves from the disaster victims.

That's pretty good.

Going to work in a large family, even if it is a slave or a servant, it is much better than the disaster victims, and even if you don't need money, there are people who rush to sell their bodies for a full meal.

But I'm afraid it's a tooth person who specializes in buying people from the brothel of the Qinglou and the Goolan kiln.

Regardless of whether a man or a woman falls into the hands of such people, they will go to hell, and they will not stop until the last bit of blood and sweat is squeezed out.

With Jiang Tingting's appearance, if he fell into such a demon cave, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen.

"Only then can you live."

Jiang Tingting stroked Jiang Yi's cheek and said:

"I can't watch you die, you haven't eaten in days, and you won't be able to survive if you don't eat any more."

Jiang Yi's heart tightened: "Don't go, sister, let's run." ”

Jiang Tingting shook her head and glanced not far away.

There was a tall and powerful servant in a melon-skin hat, and the people around him who were weak and skinny were completely polarized.

"I can't run."

Jiang Tingting lowered her head, her lips were lightly imprinted on Jiang Yi's forehead, and a soft smile appeared on her face:

"Little brother, do you remember? My mother used to say that she wanted to marry me to you, and asked me if I would like to, but I didn't answer, but now I can tell her, I do.

Ever since you helped my sister beat that hooligan away, my sister has treated you as a real man. ”

Jiang Yi only felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

Obviously, he had only crossed for two days, but the weight of this girl suddenly became heavy in his heart.

No wonder Jiang Tingting wanted to separate from him today, saying that she was going to get porridge elsewhere, but it turned out that she wanted to avoid him and sell herself.

She knew she was bound to never agree.

"Sister."

Jiang Tingting had already stood up, endured her grief, and squeezed out a smile:

"Little brother, I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourself and take care of yourself."

The servant who was monitoring Jiang Tingting not far away also came at this time and urged:

"It's endless, Aunt Fang kindly asked you to say goodbye, but it wasn't for you to drag."

"Okay, let this big brother wait for a long time, and let's go."

Jiang Tingting wiped her tears and was about to leave with him.

"Hey!"

Jiang Yi stopped the two.

The servant turned around and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Yi only felt that there was a fire in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent.

"Where are you taking my sister?"

Seeing Jiang Yi's wolf-like eyes, the Jian Servant laughed with some disdain.

"What, you still want to come to your sister?"

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. ”

"Haha, then I'll wait for you, the place your sister is going to is called Nuanchun Pavilion, the biggest happy place in the city."

The servant's smile was full of malice.

"If you want to patronize your sister's business, you have enough money on you to come in and drink a pot of tea."

With that, he dragged Jiang Tingting forward.

"!! Thief God! ”

Jiang Yi watched Jiang Tingting being taken away, and roared angrily towards the sky, not only powerless against himself, but also an accusation against this world.

When the others saw Jiang Yi crazy, they all turned their heads and were indifferent.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Instead of having the strength to scream, it is better to lie down for a while.

But there were still three victims who surrounded them with bad intentions after the servants left.

"Boy, hand over your money."
