Gu Huanxi didn't know that Xu Huaiyi had helped her brush up on her good feelings in front of the people in the village again, after going on the road in the afternoon, she lay down and fell asleep, the girl on the left, the son on the right, the one-meter-eight big bed was covered with a thick mattress, and she was not panicked at all, because the official road she walked was not so bumpy, and if it shook slightly, it had the same effect as a cradle, which was not too comfortable.

She didn't wake up until she slept in Qingzhou City, stretched out comfortably, pushed open the small window and glanced out, the lazy expression on her face gradually dissipated, replaced by an incomprehensible solemnity and unspeakable sadness.

In her previous life, she came to the ancient city of Qingzhou, and what she saw at that time was the prosperity full of commercial atmosphere, the crowded liveliness, and the tourists who came from afar were busy taking pictures and checking in.

At this moment, the smell of history came to her face, but she couldn't avoid it.

At this time, the city wall of Qingzhou, has not gone through the erosion of the years, the destruction of the war, tall and majestic, the momentum is brilliant, however, not far in front of the city gate, but it seems to be another world, as if from a colorful and gorgeous painting, suddenly turned into a black and white lens, as far as the eye can see, dim, no life.

This sense of impact is too strong, even if Gu Huanxi boasts that he has cultivated the coldness in his heart, when he faces it, he still feels uncontrollably sad and uncomfortable.

Tens of thousands of refugees, lying or sitting, ragged and skinny, as if they were only holding on to one breath, and the despair and numbness on their faces even made people shudder.

This is not a scene in a movie, they are not a group performance, this is a living hell on earth.

On the road, there was no red land for thousands of miles, and there was no hunger all over the ground, so I thought it was lucky, until now.

Gu Huanxi is still like this, and the hearts of others can be imagined, how violent the waves have been set off, and the only scum left that is lucky to be destroyed is not left.

There are those who can't bear to look at it, bow their heads and sob, some are pale and frightened, some are staggering and crumbling, and some are breaking down and crying.

Xu Huaiyi's goal was achieved.

But he would rather not achieve what he wanted, such a reference is really a nightmare.

On the road again, the team was much quieter, most of them were silent, and occasionally whispered conversations, but they were also sharing their inner uneasiness and seeking comfort from their companions.

In the car, Gu Huanxi asked, "Xiaoyu, how do you feel when you see this?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu sat stiffly, and couldn't help pursing his lips when he heard the words, his little face was still a little white, but his eyes were overflowing with guilt and embarrassment, "his heart was blocked......

Gu Huanxi touched his head, "Chang Tai Xi to hide his tears, mourning the difficulties of the people's livelihood, the ancients probably wrote it when they saw the current miserable situation, do you still think this is just a natural disaster, is it a last resort of the imperial court?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head, was silent for a moment, and asked seriously, "Mother, do you have any good coping strategies?" ”

Gu Huanxi pondered, "The specific measures depend on the specific situation, my mother really can't talk to you more, so as not to make you dogmatic in the future, but, in my opinion, at least you can't treat refugees like dogs, right?" Hanging them with a bowl of porridge, keeping them in captivity, and preventing them from making trouble, but this is a symptom but not a cure, and for the refugees, it is tantamount to drinking to quench their thirst, and it will not be long before their spirits and spirits are gone, and when the government and the rich families in the city can no longer feed them, they will only be driven away by force, and left to fend for themselves......"

Gu Xiaoyu listened thoughtfully, the expression on his face was not serious at all, not like a five-year-old child.

Gu Huanxi looked at him and continued meaningfully, "You say, are the government and the rich families doing this to show mercy to the refugees, or to push them into a bigger fire pit?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu's face changed, and he couldn't help but clench his cuffs, "Could it be that they are fighting...... The idea of slowly draining the lives of these refugees? ”

Gu Huanxi said lightly, "They may not be so ruthless, but there must be something left to fend for themselves, otherwise, the government should have come up with feasible and effective disaster relief measures, even if the imperial court does not allocate relief food, the local yamen really has no emergency preparations?" If it is properly arranged, it can raise the strength of the whole city, not to mention the refugees at the door, even us, may not need to abandon their families and businesses to escape the famine. ”

Drought does exist objectively, but she always feels that it is not the main cause of the current situation, and man-made disasters should also account for a considerable part.

Could it be that it has only been more than 30 years since the founding of the country, and there is chaos in the palace?

Thousands of miles apart, information blocked, she can't guess what the royal family and civil and military ministers are busy doing, why is it as if blind, turning a blind eye to the disaster in the Central Plains of more than a dozen state capitals, but at this time seeing the chaos in Qingzhou, she can't help but start worrying, to the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles, if the people in the court are unreliable, and the emperor is confused, then what should their family do?

You can't live for a lifetime.

Compared with her far-reaching and sorrowful thoughts, Xu Huaiyi's mind is much simpler and pure, what do you want to do that hasn't happened yet? Gu Hao is serious now, he has always believed in the endless road of heaven, and if he is really at a desperate point, he will be done.

No matter how thoughtful you are, it's better to give it a go.

Therefore, in the team at this time, he is simply unique and calm, and the whip he raises is even a little bit cheerful.

Xu Changsong was greatly stimulated to see it, and couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Huaiyi, why aren't you worried or afraid?" ”

Look at the big guy, I don't want to say anything uncomfortable, tell him how he did it, he is so curious and eager to learn, he saves his heart from going up and down, like kicking a rabbit, and he is restless.

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him, "A real man, fearless. ”

Xu Changsong, "......"

If he wants to slap himself twice, he shouldn't ask.

After a while, Village Chief Xu came to him again, his face looked a little heavy, "Huaiyi, there are refugees following us, just seven or eight meters away, Lao Gao scared a few words, and they refused to leave." ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi immediately thought of the black oppression outside Qingzhou City, "They came up from the gate of Qingzhou City, right?" Is there a lot of people? Do you have any belongings? ”

Village Chief Xu said, "Look like that, it does look like a refugee waiting at the gate of Qingzhou City to receive porridge, the rough ones don't even look at it, the number of people is not small, more than 30, there are two carts, there are people lying on them, there are bedding, and pots and pans or something, as for food?" I didn't see it, maybe they were all on their backs. ”

Xu Huaiyi muttered, "It seems that these people realized that there was no good end for them to stay in Qingzhou, so they planned to follow our team......

Village Chief Xu frowned, "This is to take advantage of our momentum and protect them?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said disapprerovingly, "If you want to follow, just follow it, anyway, this official road is not ours, we can go, of course they can go, if something really happens, maybe we can still use them, just tell the big guys, don't talk nonsense and be kind, they are more than thirty people, can they still threaten us?" ”

Village Chief Xu thought about it, yes, more than half of them came out of Xujia Village this time, plus two or three hundred people, except for women and children, if they have hands-on ability, seventy or eighty is still enough, unless they encounter robbers and bandits, they are really not afraid.
