Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

What the people are most afraid of is that the land will be full of hunger, and the people will not be able to make a living.

Famine is often the cause of this situation.

There have been severe droughts year after year, and this year is particularly severe. The people have long been green and yellow, and the roadside is full of hungry people.

Although the court has already made every effort to provide disaster relief, the original drought, coupled with the locust plague, has caused almost no grain harvest this year.

At this time, it was the autumn harvest season, but the people of Huguang were not happy at all. Because when it is time to harvest the crops, but the people do not know whether they still have to harvest the grain.

Several books of grain have already been harvested by locusts once, and now only straw can be seen on several books in the field, but there are hardly a few grains of grain on them. Some of the fields, even the grain, have been eaten up by the locusts who hate them.

The court is already doing its best to provide disaster relief, but because of the profiteers' grain stockpiling, coupled with the fact that there are too many hungry people, the court's relief is also a drop in the bucket, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem at all. However, something is better than nothing, and there are still many people who may survive this most terrible autumn harvest season.

The avenue is full of pedestrians, most of whom are homeless.

There are two figures, among the homeless, which are very different.

A woman, armed with a sword, and an old beggar who looked like a hungry man.

The old beggar had a blue mouth and a strange white complexion, and he walked very slowly, and at first glance he knew that he was seriously ill.

In these years, hungry people are everywhere, and no one will notice this old beggar. However, the woman with the sword in her hand was very different.

She was dressed in light blue and looked very clean. The sword in his hand is also like a ghost, revealing a little cold and murderous aura.

Further on, it is Chizhou City.

They didn't want to go into the city, but they had to go into the city to get food.

Because in the government, the hungry people actually robbed the shops when they saw them, and most of the hotels and inns were either moved away or temporarily closed in order to avoid the hungry people.

The woman and the old beggar had walked almost a hundred and ten miles, but they had not found a decent tavern.

In these years of famine, sometimes the most painful thing is that there is money that cannot be bought. Because at this time, grain is often more precious than silver.

The hungry people also went to Chizhou City, because the government had already set up porridge shops in the city and gave them to the poor for free. Moreover, the hungry people drank porridge and could go into the city to beg, after all, there were still many rich squires in the city.

The two finally entered the city, but saw a tall and magnificent restaurant, called Yijia Restaurant, which was very lively, and there were many big men guarding the door to prevent the hungry people from pouring into the city.

There are more and more hungry people in Chizhou City, and many powerful wine shops and restaurants have also closed their doors temporarily. Those who have the strength will spend money to invite many nursing homes, so as to ensure normal business.

The woman was dressed cleanly and could naturally enter, but when she saw that the old beggar was dressed in tatters, and she was dressed as an old beggar, she was naturally stopped by the nursing home.

The woman had no choice but to give the nurse some pure silver, and then brought the old beggar in.

The two of them went upstairs and immediately ordered a lot of good wine and food. It seems that both of them are from the rivers and lakes, and they are very bold. It's just that they looked at the hungry people downstairs, but they couldn't help it, but they still couldn't be happy in their hearts. However, in the face of this situation, they are also powerless.

For even if the woman had money on her, they had not eaten for almost two days.

The woman and the beggar sat by the window on the second floor, and they only wanted to see more of the city, because they would soon be leaving again.

Who knew that at a glance, the most people on the street were actually disaster victims. Naturally, the mood of the two was even worse.

Then the woman had to look in, but she saw a place opposite them, against the inner wall. There was a young man and two small children, who looked a little strange.

Two children, one with his mouth covered, a little older, a little novice. The other was slightly smaller, but again blindfolded with a cloth. Since the faces of both children were half covered by a black cloth, the woman could not see very clearly.

But the young man, the woman only felt familiar with how she looked, and she always felt that she had seen him.

"The eldest young master of the Tang Sect?" The woman reacted immediately, so she exclaimed.

The Jade Rakshasa had already heard that Tang Zhong, the eldest young master of the Tang Sect, had already fallen off a cliff and died, how could this place appear?

"I'm sorry, I don't have the surname Tang, but the surname Yang!" The man replied lightly.

The woman holding the sword is none other than the Jade Rakshasa Luo Chunmei. At this time, he saw that the woman was speaking normally, and she was not surnamed Tang, the most important thing was that he didn't look like a fool, so he had to recognize the wrong person for himself.

However, the two were too similar, so the Jade Rakshasa had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, I see that Your Excellency and a friend of mine are a little kind, so I recognized the wrong person." Although the Jade Rakshasa said this, he still had some doubts in his heart.

"It's fine." The woman replied.

"Daddy! I want to drink water! At this time, the young child shouted. Because he was blindfolded, the man had to bring water to his hands.

This, the Jade Rakshasa finally stopped doubting. This person actually has two children of this age, so naturally it can't be Tang Zhong.

The Jade Rakshasa didn't think much about it, and then the wine and food just came up. The Jade Rakshasa and the old beggar were already hungry and devoured early.

The woman is also a temperamental, and after eating a few bites of food, she picks up the jar and opens it, and is about to pour it into the bowl and drink. The old beggar was the same, and the two were trying to drink. Suddenly, I heard a "bang", as if something was hitting the wine jar.

Both the woman and the beggar had excellent eyesight, and immediately saw that what had been hit on the wine jar was a peanut, and the person who threw it was the young man opposite.

The two of them didn't understand what was going on, but they saw the man speak to them again. Although he was talking, there was no sound, and after only two words, the man immediately shut up again, as if nothing had happened.

The Jade Rakshasa didn't understand, and was about to ask a question, but then the old beggar immediately said, "He said, 'Poison! ’”

It seems that this old beggar is actually more experienced than the Jade Rakshasa, and he has already guessed the man's lip language.

When the Jade Rakshasa heard this, he only poured the wine on the ground, and sure enough, a little green smoke immediately came out of the ground, which was really poisonous.

"Let's go!" The female rakshasa was about to say thanks, but saw that the man had already pulled the two children and quickly went downstairs.

The Jade Rakshasa wanted to catch up, but this person on the side suddenly pulled out his weapon and attacked him.
