Chapter 192: The Great Drought in Baozhou (2)

"Master!" Qingbu saw that the woman was pitiful, and glanced back at Liao Shui. Liao Shui didn't say a word, took off the burden he was carrying behind him, and gave the woman what could be eaten inside, and the woman was about to kneel down immediately, but was held by Liao Shui, "Where are you from, who else is in the family, how did you get to such a point?" The woman's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but shed tears, "I am originally from Baozhou City, and I have parents, husband and two sons at home. Two years ago, there was a severe drought in Baozhou City, and it has been dry until now. Not to mention crops in the field, even weeds can't grow a few. Alas, you look at the trees, and the bark has been eaten!"

Only then did Chai Shien and the others realize that most of the bark and leaves of the big tree beside them had been removed, presumably by those who were extremely hungry and cooked and eaten. The woman continued, "This is also fate, once upon a time when the Son of God was here, the city of Baozhou was in good weather, and since he disappeared, the days have not been as good as the day. If my little girl were still alive, she would be as old as this girl!"

The woman trembled and stretched out her hand, touched the green cloth, and shook her head and walked away.

"Divine Son?" Liao Shui was puzzled, "Where did the Divine Son come from, she can actually keep the peace of a city, isn't she hungry and confused, talking nonsense?" Yi Wuya shook his head with a smile, "This paragraph, let's let Senior Brother Chai talk to you well!"

Liao Shui looked at Chai Shien puzzled, and he was very happy, "Haha, hahaha, senior sister, it turns out that you don't know yet?" Liao Shui was confused by his question, "What do I know?" Chai Shien said, "Have you seen this god son?"

"Ah!" Liao Shui suddenly realized, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Chai, could it be that this god son is you?"

As soon as these words came out, even Yi Wuya laughed, and Chai Shien laughed even more breathlessly, "Thank you, thank you senior sister for complimenting! But I don't dare to call myself a god son, the real god son of Baozhou City is Jiang Yongge!"

"Is it him?" Liao Shui frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little disappointed, "How do you look at him, he doesn't look like a god, it can't be fake, right?" Chai Shien restrained his smile and said to her seriously, "Senior sister, it won't be wrong, it's him." I remember the first time I saw him, his tense face and pretending to be old were really annoying. After a while, when you enter the city, you can casually hear a story of his deeds, which cannot be questioned or refuted!"

"Is it so powerful?" Liao Shui still couldn't believe it, and even muttered in a low voice, "He looks like that, he is not as much like a god as Senior Brother Chai, otherwise Jin Dao Chang would be good." Liu Hong said, "I have vaguely heard in the past, this god son had a vision when he was born, and he saved the people of Baozhou City several times. ”

Yi Wuya got up, "Okay, it's better to hear than to see it in person, let's go into the city and see with our own eyes what Baozhou City is like today!"

The group entered through the city gate, and at first glance, it seemed that there was no difference from the Baozhou City three years ago in Chai Shien's memory. But after walking for a while, I found that the people here were all described as haggard, and the beggars along the streets were one after another. There are a few shops scattered on the street, which is very different from the bustling Baozhou City in the past.

"Three years, just three years, how can this be!" Chai Shien suddenly thought about the father and mother in the family, whether they were also suffering like the people here. At this time, a thin man with only skin and bones left in front of him walked over, he grabbed Jin Hui, and the whole person fell down, his chapped lips moved, and he said, "Give me a sip of water to drink!"

"Quickly help people up!" Yi Wuyan couldn't bear it, and said to Chai Shien, "Go buy a cup of tea, remember to let the guy add a little salt to it." Chai Shien nodded, looked around, and walked into a teahouse.

When the guy saw a guest coming to the door, he licked his floppy lips and greeted him, "Childe, do you want to drink tea?" Chai Shien said, "Come on a bowl of tea and add some salt!" The guy agreed loudly, "Okay!" and said to Chai Shien, "Childe is an insider, this tea with salt is more energetic to drink!"

After a while, the tea was served, and the guy stretched out his hand to Chai Shien and said, "Thank you, son, a tael of silver!"

"What!" Chai Shien almost jumped up, "Aren't you robbing money, what kind of water did you use to make tea, and you dared to sell it for one or two silver, aren't you crazy?" The guy smiled bitterly at him, "Childe, it's not a small one to rob money, it's really the water in this city that is expensive." Yesterday, the water was brought for ten taels of silver, but today it has become twenty taels. Rao is like this, if it is late every day, even water cannot be bought. Alas, there were originally a few in the city, and now there are only four people left. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the big guys will die of thirst!"

Chai Shien felt sad for a while when he heard this, threw down a piece of silver and walked out with the bowl of tea. The man who had fallen was helped to sit on the steps of the street, and Chai Shien handed over the tea and said, "Drink it, add salt!"

A gleam welled up in the man's cloudy eyes, and he took it and drank it, and everyone who watched shook their heads and sighed. Chai Shien suddenly felt that this person seemed to be a little familiar, and the person kept looking at him.

"Brother Ghost, are you Brother Ghost?" Chai Shien recognized that this man was the one who took him to the Jade Pavilion to run errands. At this time, the ghost brother also recognized him, "You, are you Chai Shien?" Chai Shien was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance as soon as he entered the city, "It's me, Brother Ghost, who are you?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" After drinking the tea, Brother Ghost's spirit seemed to be much better, "Soon after you left, news came out that the god son of the Jiang family was gone. Since then, the city of Baozhou has been plagued by disasters. Today's water is stolen tomorrow, and the drought for many years makes the Emerald Pavilion unable to open, and I still have some silver in my hand, so I went to make a small deal. Who would have thought that since last year, the wells in the city have not been watering. Look at it, only these water shops can barely support it, and the rest, alas!"

Hearing the words "Jade Pavilion", Liao Shui couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "Senior Brother Chai, what kind of place is the Jade Pavilion he said, is it a place that sells jadeite?" Good guy, you were also a rich man in the past!" Jin Hui coughed when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "That's not a place to sell jadeite, how can I tell you, that is, it's a place where girls are not allowed to enter!"

"Don't let the girl in?" Liao Shui didn't react for a while, "Could it be that only you men are allowed to enter?" She suddenly thought that this Jade Pavilion was probably that kind of place!
