Nearly half a month passed, and Jiang Fuyue and his party finally entered Longyou, close to the Liangzhou area.

From the outside, the houses here are also eaves and tiles, and the boxy houses are not much different from those towns that have just left the capital.

The biggest difference is the pedestrians on the street.

Occasionally, there will be a few yellow-skinned people on the street, and although they are neatly dressed and look in good spirits, the physical changes caused by hunger are still noticeable.

"These should be the first to come," Zhou Niangzi looked outside, the expression on her face was indescribably heavy and worried, "...... It's still hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou City, and I really don't know what has become of it in front of me. ”

Jiang Fuyue pursed her lips and said, "Let's get ready to eat." ”

Since she was already close to Liangzhou City, she had to say some necessary instructions.

Zhou Niangzi nodded, put her hand out the window and gestured.

The carriage went some distance further and came to a stop in front of a restaurant.

Gu Yu stepped forward and asked for a private room, and everyone went in together.

The rest of the guards and coachmen were still consciously divided into two groups, one group watched the carriages and horses outside, and the other group went to eat first, and then took turns after eating.

In the simple private room, everyone sat down around the table together, regardless of whether they were high or low.

When the hot meal came up, everyone picked up their chopsticks and bowed their heads to eat.

Even Jiang Fuyue, when she eats these meals again now, she eats very naturally.

"Although you are all people who have seen the world, there are some things that I still have to remind," Jiang Fuyue swallowed a mouthful of food and said, "Even though the homeless people are pitiful, our own safety is more important, so in the next journey, no matter what, we must not let those homeless people know that we have food on us." ”

After thinking about it, Jiang Fuyue said again, "Don't give alms secretly, so that they don't have to fight for a bite to eat, which will only increase casualties." ”

Zhou Niangzi nodded again and again: "Don't worry, girl, we all know." ”

In any case, the first thing to ensure is always your own safety.

What's more, the number of displaced people is huge, and they don't have enough to stuff their teeth.

He Niangzi pursed her lips and said, "The girl has really been in a high position for a long time, and her heart has hardened. Those displaced people are already pitiful, and if we can help, why should we be indifferent spectators? ”

Zhou Niangzi frowned and kicked her under the table.

"He Niangzi's heart is good, but there are hundreds, even thousands, of displaced people, He Niangzi thinks that our Dagong is selfless, and he can save them all?" Jiang Fuyue glanced at her nonchalantly.

In normal times, she is too lazy to take care of this kind of person, but now the situation is special, they are in danger, they are already weak, and they must no longer consume each other's spirits.

He Niangzi pouted and muttered in a low voice: "What about giving them a mouthful, anyway, we bring a lot of dry food......

"What I just said, it seems that the lady didn't listen to a word," Jiang Fuyue simply put down her chopsticks, "For these homeless people who don't know how long they haven't had enough to eat, no matter how good the gold and jewelry are, it's not as important as a bite to eat, in order to survive, they should do their best." Lady, you give a bite to eat, maybe you can save a person, but for this stuttering, how many people have to fight desperately, so there are casualties, have you ever thought about it? ”

At this time, He Niangzi was completely silent.

Zhou Niangzi hurriedly said: "By the way, girl, when it comes to food, do we want to stock up on some food and bring it over?" We'll have to pass through some towns along the way, and if we stock up on a little in each town, it will be a lot! ”

In an instant, Zhou Niangzi even thought about how to stock up on grain at a low price.

As long as they can bring enough food with them, and people are fed, this crisis will be solved!

Jiang Fuyue thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No." Let's bring a few truckloads of food into the disaster area, the goal is too big, isn't it clear that people will come to rob it, we are all women, and the number of guards is limited, in case others come to grab it, we can't hold it, maybe we have to take it ourselves. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Niangzi was stunned, and then nodded.

Several other ladies also nodded their heads again and again.

Except for He Niangzi.

But no one paid attention to her.

Jiang Fuyue continued: "The imperial court must have also received the news, now that the treasury is full, Your Majesty Shengming will immediately allocate sufficient relief materials, those things are escorted by sergeants, it is much safer than ours, we just need to arrive safely." ”

Jiang Fuyue took a sip of soup and said, "I've thought about it, in such a big place, it is impossible to have no grain of grain." The most likely scenario now is that there is food, but most of it is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and the rest is in the hands of the government. However, judging from the current situation, a small number of people still hold on to the lifeline of food and refuse to let go, and the government has run out of food, so the people have to leave their homes. ”

"Since there is food, as long as we go over, there will always be a way to get it out."

Although the number of guards in their line is small, all of them are very skilled, as long as they can find out where the grain is stored, even if it is a bag on the back, that is also a way.

Zhou Niangzi and the others nodded again and again.

Jiang Fuyue bowed her head and ate a few bites of food, and said: "Everyone, please remember that although the homeless people are innocent and pitiful, our group is really weak for the huge number of homeless, even if we count ourselves, it is not enough for them to eat." Therefore, please also recognize the situation clearly and put away your kindness in harming others and yourself. ”

Everyone nodded.

After hastily eating the meal, the crowd continued on their way.

After returning to the carriage, Jiang Fuyue pulled Zhou Niangzi and said, "Are there any relatively large forces in Liangzhou City and its surroundings, do you have any contact with them?" ”

They can't bring food in, so starting locally is also an option.

Zhou Niangzi was stunned: "Yes, yes, but girl, why are you asking this?" Those people are not easy to get along with, so it's better not to have any contact with them! ”

If it weren't for the inevitable dealings in the business field, even Zhou Niangzi didn't want to know them.

At this time, seeing that Jiang Fuyue actually took the initiative to inquire, she was immediately anxious.

"What's more, even if they have food, they will definitely not take it out to help others, so let's not take this risk!"

It's better to steal from them!

"How can you not make contact," Jiang Fuyue thought in her heart, "Since they are powerful and powerful in the local area, if they haven't left yet, then they must have a lot of food in their hands." ”

At present, this group of local snakes is the only breakthrough in this dilemma.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhou Niangzi hurriedly turned her head to look at Jing Yu and Gu Yu, wanting them to help persuade her.

However, Gu Yu glanced at each other, although the two of them were worried in their eyes, neither of them spoke, only clenched their fists.

I wish you good luck on the winter solstice and all the best!
