"You are all doing meaningful things, accumulating grain, building high walls, only in this way can you ensure that the people of Qingzhou can survive as much as possible, you are not wrong...... But, but I just feel uncomfortable, Ning Ning, have you been to the refugee camp outside the city? ”

Song Anning shook his head.

She didn't go.

It's not that I didn't want to go, but I didn't dare to go.

She was afraid that as soon as she went, she couldn't help but soften.

She was afraid that she would be like her second brother, she felt that she was too ruthless, and those people had already asked for help, but she obviously had money and food in her hands, but she had to die and not save her.

Song Xingzhi's tears dripped from his eyes.

"They're miserable, they're miserable...... Do you know? When I went for the first time, I was also frightened, I was an orphan when I was a child, begging on the street, and I didn't have a meal, it was my father and mother who took pity on me and adopted me as an adopted son, so that I could have such a comfortable and comfortable life, but even if I did...... Even when I was a kid, I felt that they were much worse than me. ”

Song Anning poured herself another glass of wine and drank it alone.

Then he chattered: "You shouldn't have seen that a person is still alive, and he is covered with maggots, right?" Because he doesn't have the money to heal, hehe...... I don't have anything to eat, so how can I care about seeing a doctor? Therefore, they can only let the flesh rot and grow worms, from the outside to the inside, slowly die under the gnawing of the insects. ”

"Also, there are those who cut off their own hands and feet to eat, and if they can't cut their own hands, they go to cut something else, oh, vegetable man, how do you sing a poem? The vegetable people mourn, the vegetable people mourn, the year is hungry, tears go, the arm has been broken, and the city is hanging......"

The more Song Xingzhi sang, the more fierce he cried.

Song Anning's tears couldn't help but fall.

It's just that she didn't let people see it, turned her head and wiped it silently, only after Song Xingzhi calmed down a little, she said: "Second brother, you only saw refugees outside the city, have you ever seen what the refugees in the world are like?" ”

Song Xingzhi turned his head and looked at her in a daze.

Song Anning clinked glasses with him.

Song Xingzhi raised his head numbly and drank.

Song Anning also drank the liquor in the cup, and then said: "I saw with my own eyes that people are like dogs and animals, and they eat with their own eyes, I saw them eat the inedible Guanyin soil in order to fill their stomachs, and they died of fullness, I saw people robbing warehouses to release grain to help the people, and I also saw people snatching their last mouthful of food from the people, just to watch them starve to death, so as to have fun." ”

"Guess what else I've heard? I have heard that some rich people took advantage of this opportunity to buy slaves on a large scale, and slaves have long been abolished in this dynasty, but they are still able to raise domestic slaves in large numbers, and they do not pay for them, but only give them a full meal, and the price is that when these slaves are full, they will run to the gladiatorial arena, and they will either be hunted and shot as men, or they will fight each other until they die. ”

"But Rao is like this, there are still a large number of people pouring in, because they are so hungry, they are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of hunger, as long as they can have food, even if they die after eating, they are willing, the funny thing is that such a vicious and unreasonable and inhumane behavior actually provides more than it needs."

"Second brother, what do you say we can do in the face of such behavior? We're just a merchant, are we going to report to the officials to arrest them? But among these people who have fun, there are officials, and even relatives of the emperor, I came back all the way from the capital, I can't look at the hungry people on the side of the road, I once opened our Song family's warehouse to make porridge sheds, but those porridge sheds are just a drop in the bucket for them, no matter how rich our Song family is, how many people can we save? ”

"Second brother, it's not that we can't save it, it's that we can't save it, this world is already in chaos, there is no old one, unless the old edifice is torn down and the new order is reborn in this land, no one can save it, you are the same, I am the same, even if it is ......"

Even if it's Pei Qingyan, it's the same.

Otherwise, why would he have asked her to bring back such a letter?

He was the commander of the Embroidery Division, and he should have seen more than her.

Maybe it's numbness, maybe it's helplessness, but she believes that the person she likes won't be the kind of dog slaughterer, but there are some things that must be preserved before she has the ability to do it.

Otherwise everything is a drop in the bucket, moths to the fire, pointless.

Song Xingzhi calmed down.

He looked at Song Anning.

Before I knew it, this sister seemed to have grown up.

Grow up to be calmer, more sensible, and more aware of the true compassion and governance of the world.

But he still can't control the weakness in his heart, he is not worthy of being her brother.

Song Xingzhi: "When will Pei Qingyan come to Qingzhou again?" ”

Song Anning shook his head.

"I don't know."

She paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "I heard Qingxuan say before that His Majesty has re-established the Governor Department in Beijing, which is specially designed to fight with the Embroidery Division, maybe he is not easy to do as a commander." ”

Song Xingzhi still didn't believe it.

"Isn't he the emperor's junior? The emperor also favors him? ”

Song Anning smiled.

How did she explain to her second brother the pitiful and ridiculous royal affection.

In fact, Song Anning didn't understand it before.

It's just that after living for two lives, there are many things that seem to have been opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du, even if you don't experience it, you can listen to some rumors and find the truth.

Song Anning said: "Second brother, we can't count on anyone, we can only count on ourselves, first protect the people of a city, and then work hard to protect the people outside a city, if you put yourself in the fire and water first, then you can't protect anyone, not only outside the city, all the people you know in the city, the people you care about, will be trapped in this disaster!" ”

Song Xingzhi was shocked.

He looked at Song Anning, in fact, he clearly understood these truths, but he couldn't control his sad and angry emotions, but after listening to Song Anning's words at this moment, he was so inexplicably calm.

"Second brother, but toast a glass of wine, only hear the dynasty and the song."

She raised her glass and said with a smile: "From now on, let's fight side by side, not only for the people we care about, but also for all the people we don't know and who should survive in this world." ”

Song Xingzhi looked at his cup in a daze, then looked at her again, obediently picked up the wine glass, and touched a glass of wine with her.

When he finished drinking, he frowned.

"But what should I do? I don't know how to do business, unlike you and your eldest brother and my parents, I, I only have a little medical skills, but even if I exhaust myself to death, I can only save one person in an hour, I, I can't help too many people. ”

That's probably why he's in a bad mood tonight.

He watched with his own eyes that his father, brother and sister found their place in this troubled world, but he didn't.

He doesn't know anything but medicine.

He couldn't save too many people.

This made Song Xingzhi fall into deep pain and self-blame.
