Hot summer, big drought.

It's time for soup giving again.

Ning Yan was tired of the scorching sun on his head, dragging his thin body to drown in the crowd outside Luoyang City, the air around him was full of indescribable coaxing stench, and his own body was also stinky, but fortunately, he was used to it these days.

It's been nearly a week since he came here, and Ning Yan has to accept the fact that he has crossed over, and the hunger in his belly and the pain in his whole body are telling him over and over again that all this is true.

This is a refugee camp, and he is now a victim who survives by receiving handout porridge.

In the distance, a group of figures walked out from under the tower of the city gate, which was a group of guards wearing black swords on their waists and waists, and wearing evil ghosts and iron masks on their faces, with more than a dozen iron plate cars clustered in front and behind, and two cauldrons were placed on each car.

In front of the iron plate car is some pitch-black "horses" pulling the cart, these horses are covered by pitch-black armor, under the armor is not flesh and blood, but metal gear machinery, the black horse every step of the "click" gear sound.

Ning Yan's mouth became more and more dry, and he worked hard with everyone, no one dared to make a loud noise, at most he just muttered secretly.

The refugees at the front had consciously lined up, they were all old fritters, and they didn't dare to make trouble under the noses of these armorers, Gain had seen the living die under the black sword.

Ning Yan's position is a little higher in the middle of the first team, and his luck is not bad, the porridge he receives will not be just clear soup and little water, if he goes any further, he will be surrounded by some guys at night.

"The fairy girl is here!"

A shout suddenly sounded in the crowd, and countless people stretched their necks to look, and Ning Yan also saw a figure in the direction of the city gate from a distance, following behind the caravan of armor, it was a plain-clothed female crown.

The female crown wore a loose light gray robe, the clothes were so simple that there was no eye-catching color, a semi-transparent tulle scarf hung on her face, and a whisk of dust was lying quietly in her arms, with a dignified and majestic temperament.

The leader of the Xuanjia Guards came to the back of the group and saluted the female crown in a respectful manner.

After some conversation, the leader of the Xuanjia guards shouted to the refugees: "Put porridge!" ”

The team instantly shouted, and many people knelt down and kowtowed to the female crown, calling them "Xie Xiangu".

The Xuanjia guard said loudly: "This is the real person of Xuanyi, and he came to put porridge and Ji'er and others on the order of the Queen of Heaven!" ”

"There are no immortals in this world, don't call them immortals to real people, immortals won't care about your life or death, only the queen of heaven will remember you, you must remember the grace of heaven, and the disaster will eventually pass......"

The armor repeated the same words as yesterday, and Ning Yan walked slowly through the procession, and received a bowl of thin porridge and a hard cake with yellow and black in the middle, which was what would keep him alive.

He didn't gobble up the food like the people around him, but walked slowly back to the camp, almost everyone went to the queue, and some of them had difficulty moving, slumped on the ground and watched the long line, hoping that someone would give him some of the life-saving food.

Most of these people are women and the elderly, there are no children in the camp, and every day the soldiers come to the area, and when they find young children, they will forcibly pick them up, and some parents will not stop them, and it is better to have a place to live than to be here.

Ning Yan turned a blind eye to those who were paralyzed on the ground, and he couldn't save them.

An Lu looked at Ning Yan coming over with a bowl, and a smile appeared on his withered face.

"Brother Ning Xian."

An Lu was not originally a disaster victim, he met a thief on the way to Luoyang to join his relatives, was looted, and fainted when he insisted on reaching the city of Luoyang, and was thrown into the refugee camp as a fleeing victim, and that night because someone wanted to rob him of the decent clothes, he was beaten half to death, and his leg was broken.

Ning Yan gave him a small half of yellow cake, and he also left him a small half bowl of porridge, An Lu ate a little wolf, he was paralyzed on the ground covered in mud, if he didn't Ning Yan, he would have died a long time ago, and no one would care.

As for why Ning Yan was willing to give his food to An Lu, because he didn't want to stay in this refugee pile all the time.

After the food was eaten, An Lu said: "Brother Ning Xian, rest assured, the grace of saving lives is unforgettable, my uncle is a member of the court, and when we enter the city, we will enjoy endless good days." ”

Ning Yan had heard this many times, and he knew that the other party was afraid that he would leave him alone, so he promised him over and over again.

Town......

While eating his own food, Ning Yan asked casually: "You said that you came to Luoyang for the first time, so does your uncle still remember you?" ”

"My uncle and I haven't met yet."

Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at him sideways.

An Lu hurriedly said: "He was a friend of my father's life, and I brought my father's token with me when I came, and my uncle only needs to see the token to know my identity." ”

Token......

Ning Yan seemed to be thinking, looked at him and asked, "Didn't you snatch the tokens of those thieves you encountered?" ”

"The token is not a valuable thing, and I keep it close to me." An Lu shook his head and said. "I didn't know about this relationship before, and it wasn't until the time when my family was in trouble that my father remembered this and told me to sell the rest of my family property and come to God to seek refuge in this uncle."

"Aren't you afraid that your strange uncle won't recognize you as a junior?" Ning Yan continued to ask.

An Lu hurriedly said: "Uncle and father have a deep friendship, and it is impossible to do something ruthless and unrighteous!" ”

He was afraid that he would not trust him, in fact, he had thought so before he came, he had a little money in his hands after selling his family property, and he could set up a shop in Luoyang City, even if that uncle did not recognize him as a poor relative, he would still be able to live self-sufficient in the future.

But for the time being, I can only pin all my hopes on this uncle who I have never met.

Ning Yan's thoughts turned around in his heart, and when he saw An Lu's eyes staring directly at the food in his hand, and Ning Yan's eyes met, An Lu smiled awkwardly and looked away.

Ning Yan's eyes flickered, and he handed over the remaining porridge and cakes.

An Lu was immediately flattered: "Brother Ning Xian, this ......"

"You're weak, and you need it more than I do." Ning Yan said.

An Lu was immediately moved, and said gratefully: "The kindness of the virtuous brother, the foolish brother will not forget it!" ”

How can an adult's meal for a day, a bowl of porridge and a cake that is not the size of a palm, no one in this refugee camp not be hungry, and the behavior of being disgusted made An Lu's heart very moved.

Ning Yan smiled casually: "It's easy to say, Brother An takes good care of his injuries." ”

He asked again: "What is Brother An's uncle's name?" ”

An Lu thought for a while and said, "My father only said that the largest branch of the Yu clan in the Divine Capital is. ”

Yu ......

Ning Yan looked at the majestic city of Luoyang over there, which was very different from the city in his memory in his previous life, and it was hard to imagine that the ancients could build a building of such specifications.

This is not the Tang Dynasty, but the Xuantang Dynasty.

A strange world.

Ning Yan saw from a distance that many refugees were gathered together, kowtowing to the veiled woman, and Wu Yang knelt down and praised something.

Ning Yan couldn't hear what he was saying if he was too far away, he was more curious about what the face of this "fairy girl" looked like under the veil.

When the porridge was finished, the Xuanjia guards went to drive the vehicle back into the city, and the plain-clothed female crown also left, and the gate of the Shendu was tightly closed, isolating them from the victims.

For the rest of the day until noon tomorrow, I will have to endure the pain of hunger.

Moans and wails of pain can be heard in the camps, and it is not uncommon to see a middle-aged man snatching a woman's belongings.

An Lu was indignant when he saw it: "What a beast! ”

Ning Yan looked sideways and said: "He is a beast, what about us who are watching from the wall?" ”

An Lu was stunned for a moment, and said abruptly: "If you have spare strength, you will naturally not watch from the wall." ”

After speaking, he added unevenly: "You can not save each other, but at least you shouldn't harm the other party." ”

Ning looked at him with disgust: "Brother An, do you think so?" ”

"Brother Fool has also read a few books of sages and sages, and knows etiquette, righteousness, and shame." An Lu said: "Even if I starve to death, I will never take the food from other people's mouths!" ”

Ning Yan just responded to this, did not say anything more, and looked at the woman sitting on the ground sobbing, her eyes were as deep as a pool.

Following.

An Lu was awakened by the scorching sun, squinting at the fireball hanging high, and he struggled to get up.

"Brother Ning Xian, is it time for soup kitchen?"

But there was no response from his side, An Lu licked his chapped lips, looked left and right, and found that the refugees were already queuing up to receive porridge.

An Lu thought that Brother Ning Xian must have gone to receive porridge, he just had to wait here, his leg was broken, he couldn't walk normally, and he was hungry, so it was better to lie here and stay motionless to save energy.

He looked at the crowd from afar, thinking that when he entered the city, he must repay Brother Ning Xian's kindness.

More than an hour had passed, and the crowd had all dispersed, but An Lu did not wait for Ning Yi to come back.

Seeing that the Xuanjia Guards had entered the city, An Lu couldn't help but prop up his body and sit there and look hard, he was so hungry that his whole body was weak, and he couldn't shout loudly at all, the location he was staying in was remote, and it would take great effort for the nearest person to climb over, so he had to give up.

It's night.

An Lu was paralyzed there and didn't even have the strength to repel mosquitoes, and the camp at night was not guarded by soldiers, which was a good time for some guys to run amok.

From a distance, he saw several men punching and kicking a man on the ground, with ugly words in his mouth.

The people around him were watching all this numbly, and no one paid attention to it, and An Lu thought to himself: If he has the strength to spare, he will not watch from the wall.

He looked at those rough and strong men in tattered clothes, and suddenly felt that even if he didn't look like this, he couldn't beat these guys, so when he reasoned with them, would they listen?

He remembered that the night he first came to the refugee camp, a group of guys tried to snatch his decent clothes, and his leg was broken during the argument, and the people next to him were as insensitive as they are now.

Is it worth it to be upset by these people?

Only Brother Ning Xian was willing to give him half a piece of bread and a mouthful of porridge when he was in the most danger.

An Lu took a step back from the thought in his heart: Salvation should only save those who should be saved!

Ning Xian's brother Mo also encountered some gangsters and suffered an accident......

Another day.

An Lu was awakened by a commotion, and he opened his eyes weakly to find that someone had come to his vicinity.

"Brother...... Taiwan, have you ever seen ...... A short-haired teenager? ”

His voice was too quiet, and the man who was squatting on the ground tilted his head and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

An Lu's throat rolled, and he tried to let go of his voice: "Brother, can you eat...... I have relatives in the city, and my brother saved my life...... I can take my brother into the city......"

When the man heard that he was asking him for food, he didn't want to pay attention to it, and sneered, "Do you want to eat?" ”

As for the latter words, the man didn't believe them at all, and went into the city?

Bullshit!

Flies can enter the city, insects can enter the city, but they can't enter the city.

An Lu didn't speak anymore, he couldn't speak anymore, he lay motionless on the ground, the scorching sun in the sky did not let him close his eyes, the warm white light made him feel dizzy in the heavenly realm, and in a trance he saw a figure.

Brother Ning Xian, did you bring back the porridge?

……

When night falls, the fringes of the camp are less crowded because it's a place where people pee and, and it's a bit smellier.

Ning Yan groped carefully on An Lu's body, and only found a piece of pure white jade pendant half the size of a palm, with a word carved on it hollowed out - Night.

Rubbing the white jade in his hand, Ning was disgusted with no sadness or joy on his face.

Brother An, I didn't harm you, I just didn't save you.

Here's what you said.
