Chapter 21 Xiangyang City has become a refugee camp
Wu Hui has left the Condor World for 16 years, and everyone knows the story very well during this period, witnessing the love between Jianyu and Lu Zhu, seeing the invention of the era of zero and zero, and also experiencing an alternative blind date in another world!
When he returned to Xiangyang City again, it was no longer a matter of things, most of the familiar faces were no longer there, there were no fathers and daughters begging for a living outside the city, performing juggling, and there were no old scholars selling calligraphy and paintings, and there were no young chivalrous women who wanted to take them all home, a dazzling array of small goods.
At this time, in Xiangyang City, you can see everywhere, people displaced by the war, down to three years old, children who don't know where to sleep at night, up to eighty, old people who need to be supported by others when walking.
"Boss, how many steamed buns do you have in your shop?"
Wu Hui walked to a larger store closest to him and asked the boss.
This shop has been a long-established shop for many years, and the shop is two small houses, and if you had followed the business of the store before, no one would have questioned that the officials on duty, the merchants who had not had time to eat breakfast, the tourists who were in a hurry, or the surrounding households, were all its regular customers.
There is no business today, and it is somewhat affected by the constant harassment of Xiangyang City by the Yuan soldiers!
Speaking of this boss, he can also be regarded as a temperamental, he sometimes carries his lover behind his back, and secretly distributes the steamed buns in the store to the fleeing people.
He knows his own affairs and has limited ability, but he still uses his best efforts to help those who have fled.
"Childe, none of the steamed buns I just made this morning have been sold, and it is estimated that there are about two hundred!"
Looking at Wu Hui's appearance, he is dressed cleanly, looks handsome, and gestures, which makes people feel like the warmth of the spring breeze.
He guessed a big customer had arrived. Smiling, he replied.
"Pack all the steamed buns in your store for me!"
Wu Hui, who was smiling, took out a gold ingot from his arms, put it in front of the boss, and said.
The shot will be to pack all the steamed buns in the store. This is a very big customer, I think at the beginning, when the business is still passable, it is rare to meet customers with a round.
His voice trembled a little, and the wide-eyed boss thought that he had heard it wrong, and confirmed again: "Childe, you want to buy all the steamed buns, could it be that you want to distribute them to the hungry people who are fleeing?"
Surprised that the boss reacted so quickly, Wu Hui nodded.
"Childe. It's just a drop in the bucket for you to do this, our hungry people in Xiangyang City, some time ago, Guo Jing and Guo Daxia had people make statistics, there are about 3,000 people!"
Ordinary bosses, when they see someone buying their own things, they can't wait to sell them all, and even Wu Hui is the first time he has encountered it. Selling steamed buns also cares about what the guests have to do!
"How can there be so many hungry people fleeing?"
What Wu Hui just saw. It was only a very small part of the people who fled and starved, how could he have imagined that the disasters caused by the war were far more than that.
"Don't hide it from the son, the Yuan soldiers are murderous by nature, and these refugees are all from nearby provinces and counties. Originally, the general who was defending the city didn't intend to let them in, but wanted to leave them to fend for themselves outside the city!"
The suffering caused by the scourge of war is far more than hunger and separation, but more importantly, the destruction of families.
The boss paused, and his voice suddenly rose a few points. said: "If it weren't for Guo Daxia's benevolence and righteousness, he forcibly asked the generals defending the city to open the city gate, and the scene you saw might be a different one!"
The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, Guo Jing really deserves the title of hero.
Wu Hui frowned, and asked again: "What do these refugees rely on now, doesn't the imperial court care?"
Seeing that Wu Hui was interested in refugees and was a big customer today, the more he talked, the more excited the boss became: "The imperial court has also been in charge, and has issued 300,000 catties of silver and 100,000 catties of disaster relief food!"
"In that case, why are many refugees still starving to death?" Wu Hui, who was skeptical, clearly did not believe it.
The boss shook his head and sighed, and continued: "Everything has been sent, but the silver and grain for disaster relief, every time you pass through a province, there will be a lot less for some reason!"
slapped it on the table, Wu Hui's palm print was clearly printed on the table, and the shopkeeper was stupid.
Even the food for disaster relief dared to be greedy for ink, causing people to lose the hearts of the people everywhere, no wonder the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan soldiers!
、、、
Have you ever thought about how to change what the refugees are suffering in front of you?"
Wu Hui finished distributing the steamed buns, and was just about to find a place to sit down and slow down, but the impact of the scene on the street was too great for him, and the voice of the Heavenly Dao suddenly sounded.
"What else, historically speaking, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed by the Yuan soldiers, isn't it all in vain to do anything now?" Wu Hui's eyes darkened, and he replied.
Tian Dao shook his head: "The Condor World has undergone mutations, haven't you noticed that after your arrival, the fate of the world's characters has changed? As long as you want, you can change anything! Before the system was upgraded, because the power of the controller of the Condor World was too strong, I am not an opponent, but now, 、、、 hehe!"
、、、
Yuelai Inn, the largest industrial chain store on the rivers and lakes, also has a branch in Xiangyang City, and its owner can definitely make a lot of money every year.
At noon, in the lobby of Yuelai Inn, Wu Hui sat alone in the corner, as usual, two catties of beef and three bowls of old wine became his signature meal.
"Have you heard, the new leader of the Beggar Gang, Lu Youjiao, was assassinated, let's talk about it, who has such courage to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, you know, the disciples of the Beggar Gang are all about plans, and now he can stab the hornet's nest!"
Dressed in a blue coat and with a large ring of gold knives on his back, he spoke in a voice that was estimated to be heard even by the guests on the second floor, which was enough to show that his voice was not small.
He was of medium stature, with a pair of cross-eyed eyes that added a lot of joy, and his messy hair seemed to have not been taken care of in a few days.
"I said Zhao Dadao, you kid spreads rumors all day long, is this really good?" The burly man who was drinking at the other table, he didn't believe the other party's words, who didn't know, Zhao Dadao was the master of listening to the wind and the rain.
"Zhang Banjin, drink your wine well, I got accurate news this time, last night, when I went to see my sister-in-law, I listened to her cousin's brother's neighbor's third aunt's husband, the third aunt's husband is Guo Daxia's groom. Tell me, can this news be inaccurate?" Zhao Dadao, who was full of arrogance, raised his head at a forty-five degree angle, as if thinking about life.
Lu Youjiao was killed, doesn't that mean that Guo Xiang will be in danger tonight, leaving a full ten taels of silver, in the corner of the lobby of the Yuelai Inn, only a lonely ten taels of silver was left on a table, and Wu Hui next to the table was gone!
It was night, Guo Xiang carried a white lantern, step by step to the Yang Taifu Temple, usually, she has a bit of a female personality, but it is really so much that she can't see her fingers at night, and she is still a little apprehensive in her heart.
In terms of feelings, Guo Xiang and Lu Youjiao can be regarded as irreversible friends, often when she is bullied or wronged, the other party will support her.
Over time, the two became good friends who talked about everything!
Last night, I heard that Lu You's foot had an accident, and Guo Xiang, who cried until the middle of the night, had swollen eyes.
No, tonight, when there was no one, she pulled Guo Fu to quietly come over to pay tribute to this former good friend.
"Second sister, how do I feel eerie, could it be that Elder Lu's ghost has returned?" Guo Fu, who is a wife, although her martial arts are good, can still be panicked about ghosts. (To be continued.) )
