Chapter 353: Divine Messenger
'Braim City'.
Liang Xie didn't leave in a hurry after reading the senior brother's letter, he knew that the senior brother was worried about his safety, but he was also a member of the 'Yang Dao Alliance', and he should also do something for the gang, so he decided to continue to investigate, especially the previous battle with Gao Licheng, which made him full of confidence and not afraid of an enemy attack.
In that battle, he clearly felt that the distance, speed, strength, mentality, and feel of his moves had earth-shaking changes from before, and he couldn't realize what his upper limit was in terms of internal force, he only knew that he had to use it so far, and his skills were at this level, a porridge, a meal, a breath, a water, a dew were all sweet, all of which brought great strength, and he finally knew why Yun Lao rarely ate good tea and light rice every day, but he was so happy, because all this was originally very beautiful.
In the past few years, the tragic situation he has seen and heard has made him know more how to cherish these ordinary things that can no longer be ordinary, and his state of mind has become much more tenacious and thorough after several baptisms and regressions, especially after the tragedy of the 'Yang Dao League', he has an indescribable feeling, and he faintly feels that this feeling must be related to the master's 'twelve tips for hating knives', so this time it will be more handy than in the past.
October 15, this year's winter is exceptionally cold, the cold is terrible, and the 'Bairui City' that has just started winter is not far behind the capital in the month of that year. In the past few days, many homeless people on the street have frozen to death, and many shops on the street are also full of people, but the shops that have long been deserted, and some half-collapsed houses cannot withstand the cold at all, and the yellow and white things that are frozen into pieces can be seen everywhere on the street, although they do not emit a disgusting smell, they are also extremely dazzling, and the city is so chaotic that it is helpless.
This year's locusts have long since receded, and the people have less and less to eat these days.
Liang Xie saw with his own eyes that there were many homeless people who were cutting the flesh of those who died, he wanted to stop it but finally endured, he had a senior brother, there was a 'Yang Dao League', others did not, he only really realized the greatness of his senior brother at this moment, the senior brother did not reckless to help the victims, but continued to earn not a lot of profits from the 'Gumengzhou' and other places to transport grain from 'Gumengzhou' and other places to the seriously affected 'Zhongzhou', and then continued to provide disaster relief and relief, he was fighting a battle with no end in sight.
In these years, although there are not many people who go to help people for the last time in the world, there are still people, but he is the only one who does this like the senior brother, and more are rich businessmen who take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country, they hoard and raise prices, so that the price of rice has increased by more than 20 times in just a few years, but the silver in the hands of the country and the people is limited, and the soaring price of rice has made grain transportation a great problem, and disaster relief has become a problem, what can be done with one million taels of silver now needs to be done with more than 20 million taels or even more than 30 million taels to do it, and there are not many people who can take out one million taels of silver, but there are still some people, but now no person or organization can come up with five million taels of silver, the imperial court did not, so what could be done in one trip became twenty trips, so what could be done in one month became two years, and because the river was cut off, the cost of land transportation was dozens of times that of Cao Yun, which made the imperial court more cramped, not to mention ordinary people.
So the hoarder made a windfall, so the robber survived, so there was only a dead end for normal trading, and the 'Yang Dao League' struggled to support on the 'dead end' for many years, and now it has not died on the 'dead end', but it has been inexplicably destroyed.
Lei Yi wrote to the court three times, the court knew, but there was nothing he could do, he was in charge of a city and a house, the court was in charge of hundreds of cities and hundreds of houses, not a house lacked food, everyone was lacking, the emperor issued several edicts of guilt, personally knelt down and begged for rain, but all the gods and goddesses were like falling asleep (dropping) collectively without response, and even some of the most effective temples were useless.
The court has no way, the emperor has no way, and Lei Yi has no way, watching the people of 'Bairui City' riot, rebel, starve to death, and fight to death, he can only watch, the rebellion in the city is unprecedented, and he can't do anything.
Liang Xie is accustomed to seeing tragic situations among the homeless, and he knows how terrible people are under the oppression of survival, and he can't do anything about it.
October 20, light snow.
On the day of the light snow, 'Bairui City' did not have a light snow, only cold, cold and clear, there are many people in the city, and the city is also very chaotic.
Last night he and a group of homeless people hid in a shop to sleep, this group of homeless people are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, there are some children and women and children, originally a few women and children were going to be robbed by a group of scoundrels, if they were really robbed, with the current situation I am afraid that it will fall into the belly of that group of people, Liang Xie saw it and drove away the scoundrels, occupied the shop, he stayed here and protected this group of women and children, old and young.
Early in the morning, when he opened his eyes, he looked at the people in the room, but he had a feeling of coldness, the cold wind blew into the house along the broken doors, windows and walls, and the children shivered, and the mothers of the children took the children tightly into their arms, but the skin and flesh of their own clothes were frozen, and the old people were even more curled up like cats leaning against each other to keep warm, and the debris piled up in the holes to keep out the wind at night seemed to have little effect at all.
Seeing this scene, Liang Xie couldn't help but sigh, the famine, the war made these people homeless, and entering the city was just a mouthful of leftovers to make a living, and it was just as difficult for people who couldn't think of it. Liang Xie Moyun' Tiangen Jue's true qi, a warm current flowed out of his body, instantly dispelled the cold and warmed the room, those who originally knew how to shiver felt the warmth and climbed to the door in surprise to watch the cold wind outside sweep the dust and confetti on the street and retracted back into the house very puzzled, they didn't know that this was done by Liang Xie, some people actually worshiped a few times, thanked the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Liang Xie slowly shook his head, how he hoped that those myths and stories were true, how much he hoped that he was a god, like Guanyin Bodhisattva A net bottle of water can save all the people in the world, but unfortunately he is not, he doesn't know if there are really gods and Bodhisattvas in the world, Maybe even if there is, it won't change anything, maybe even if there is, it will be subject to many restrictions, such as the 'dragon god' who doesn't dare to easily attack ordinary people, maybe the gods must also fake their hands to act on talents.
Liang Xie doesn't have Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure bottle or Sumeru's means of accepting mustard seeds, but he has something more practical and reliable- Water and dry food, only enough for a person to eat water and dry food for two or three days, he took out all the remaining water and dry food on his body and handed it to the mother of a sick girl, at this time can still have children around, especially with the girl's family is an extremely difficult thing, and this group of homeless people did not take advantage of his sleep to steal his water and dry food is also rare kindness, this is rare, he has been mixed among the homeless people for seven or eight days, and also saw seven or eight piles of all kinds of homeless, this group is the weakest and the most kind.
Liang Xie came out of the house, he planned to leave here, it was obvious that it was an unreliable channel to find out the news in the homeless pile, whether to change places, to continue the investigation in another way or to return to the helm first, he was still hesitating, in fact, it did not depend on him, but on his water and dry food, as for the suffering of the homeless people, he couldn't manage it for a while, in fact, he couldn't even manage it for a while, and his food and drink were gone from the next meal, he had been dieting and saving water for more than half a month, and now he may have to cut off water and food.
After two abandoned inns and a pawnshop whose plaque fell to the ground and was trampled on, Liang Xie walked out of the street, met a few malicious glances, and when they saw Liang Xie's burden flat and a knife hanging from his waist, several people avoided it from afar, and then exchanged words again. Liang Xie heard the content of their conversation, but ignored them, there are too many people who are thieves and thieves in these years, especially after the officers and soldiers are gone, in the past few days, 'Bairui City' has become a trend of stealing, and the people of the 'Deer King' occupied 'Bairui City' when they were a monopoly, and now everyone is a thief.
Liang Xie walked wherever he went, and along the way, he saw a few old people on the street who froze to death last night.
"Let go of me, you brutes ......" Suddenly there was a woman's roar from the southeast, Liang Xie didn't need to guess to know what was happening, he moved under his feet, and a few ups and downs arrived at the place where the incident occurred, as expected, three or four skinny men were tearing a woman, the woman had yellow muscles and thin muscles, and there was a greedy mole on the corner of her mouth that looked ugly, Liang Xie really didn't know what these three 'heroes' had to rob, and the woman' Wu Gong 'had to bite with his mouth, and he was struggling to resist with his feet, and the three of them really couldn't hold her for a while, and the streets here were full of people who could shelter from the wind and bask in the sun, but no one spoke out to stop them, and no one stood up to rescue the woman.
Although Liang Xie couldn't control these things, but he couldn't ignore them when he saw them, Liang Xie was about to stop shouting, and suddenly someone in the distance shouted "Porridge, the 'God Redemption Sect' sent rice porridge in the east of the city." ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then left the woman's head and ran to the east of the city without looking back, the woman fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and got up with a bone, and even the dust on her body did not beat a gust of wind, as if everything had not happened just now, and she was really worthy of being a greedy mole.
Liang Xie couldn't cry or laugh a little, it was the first time he had seen such a strong woman, but it was okay, this kind of person was at least not hungry, maybe the three people just now didn't want to be rude to the woman at all, maybe they were robbing her of food, Liang Xie flashed such an idea in his mind, and he thought it was quite interesting.
