There is an old saying: The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Everyone knows the truth, but anyone who has not completely lost his conscience is a born anti-social element. No one with great ability can really ignore the suffering of the people, even if no one is grateful, even if someone who should be respected by all people is not.
It happens to be unknown, but when really needed, it is difficult for anyone to say "it has nothing to do with me."
The more capable people are, their state of mind is somewhat higher than that of ordinary people. Many people have done it but I don't care what others think. However, not caring and having it are two different things.
That feeling of being sincerely appreciated and that your efforts were not in vain is really quite nice.
Patriarch Xuanqing looked at Qi Bao'er who was suddenly a little dull, and there was a buzz in his head. Is his request too much? Doesn't he just want to stay in the human world for a while, or just want to follow her to Zhuque?
Traveling?
"...If you really don't like it, I won't interfere in your affairs, and I will just stay with you and make sure that others can't see it."
Qi Baoer: "..."
Haha, "Uncle Master, don't you just want to look around, and I can't stop you."
Ancestor Xuanqing's face was accumulated over thousands of years. It was so thick that he was not embarrassed at all by his younger generation. He even followed the words and said rather sarcastically: "That's true, unless the law of heaven drives my brother here.
Arrest me."
As for the way of heaven, there is no saying that this realm is the realm of heaven. No matter where you are from, you must be bound by it.
As for the brothers he was talking about, they were naturally not the ones from Daliang, but the Princes of Hell under the underworld. Although he was also a Ghost Emperor and had the same level as those few, the Prince of Hell and others had a natural suppression of the other Ah Piao.
.
Qibaoer was speechless again, silently taking out a sugar cane and chewing on it.
-
The land is dry and cracked. Not to mention food, there are only a few sparse weeds on the ground, and they are still dead and the leaves are swaying gently in the wind.
Everyone looked up at the sky. The sun was not strong or even warm enough. Then they felt the air around them. The cool breeze blowing on their faces brought a slight chill.
Yuchi looked back with a frightened expression, then stepped forward, tilted his neck and poked his head to take a look, "Is it October now?"
Gongsun wiped away the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said, "It was the first day of August when we set off from the capital. We have been walking for twenty-seven days. Today happens to be the seventh day of October."
A group of people came back one after another to look at the team of nearly ten thousand people, but it was not the glamorous team that everyone imagined, not even a team of businessmen. Instead, they looked more like a team of people fleeing for safety.
Apart from the fact that the people at the front of the team looked better dressed, the people towards the back looked more and more impoverished. Some of the people with sallow complexions could tell at a glance that they had not had a full stomach for a long time.
The fact is, this is indeed a refugee team.
A small country called Baal adjacent to Suzaku has been in a civil war for nearly a hundred years. At first, it was a constant fight between two forces, and then it gradually turned into a fight between several forces.
Last year, there was a severe drought in the whole country. There were already no people farming the land due to the constant fighting. But another severe drought...
With no way to survive, the people had no choice but to flee to Zhuque.
Qi Bao'er and the others were still thinking about how to sneak into Suzaku, but they happened to see this huge fleeing team, so they wore old clothes and got some broken carriages and infiltrated into the fleeing team.
Most of this refugee team are people who escaped together from a place called Yede City. There are no officials in it, but the wealthy businessmen in the city are there. At the same time, there are also refugees who have sneaked in from other places on the road, so I pray.
Bao'er and others didn't look too obtrusive.
Eunuch Lin, who was wearing a butler's uniform but had several stains on his clothes, oh no, he should be called Butler Lin now, walked behind Yuchi and Gongsun.
"Two captains, the young master of the Qianhua family just came to our young master. They were going to stop for a while and just ordered people to go to the front to explore the situation. The Qianhua family knows the strength of the two captains and would like to ask the young master to let one of you
Let’s go together too, we’ll be safe, the young master agreed.”
Yes, Eunuch Lin also came out this time.
Eunuch Lin is weak and should not have traveled such a long distance, but he has had a dream to travel all over the world since he was a child. When he heard that Qi Bao'er was going to the Suzaku Queen, he begged Qi Bao'er to follow him.
, even if he might die on the way.
According to his own words, he was originally a person without roots, and he didn't talk about fallen leaves returning to their roots. He just had to bury his body wherever he died so that he wouldn't be blown up in the wilderness.
What else can Qibaoer do?
For someone like her who protects her shortcomings, what else can she do besides pampering her old eunuch?!
Anyway, Zhuo Qi is following this time, so she is really there?!
The Qianhua family that Eunuch Lin mentioned was once the richest man in Yede City. It is said that it was originally a backbone family that supported one of the forces in the civil war, but unfortunately that force was defeated. Seeing that the winning side was about to
They were about to capture Yed City, and the Qianhua family had to flee with their entire family.
Moreover, he also took away a whole city of people.
The general meaning is to leave an empty city for the other party. After a year of drought, it will be difficult for them to survive even if they continue to stay in Yede City. It is better to go to Suzaku to see if they can find a way out.
The Qianhua family has a strong voice in this escape team, but they are not stupid. They are not the leader, but just a member of the escape team.
He does not provide food and drink for everyone, and does not care about their livelihood; but he often lets the guards go ahead to explore the road and help find water sources and food. The doctor he brings with him often helps the refugees to see their illnesses and injuries; therefore, he has always been respected by the refugees.
The three of them returned to the carriage where Qi Bao'er was sitting. Master Qianhua was still standing beside the carriage with a sad face talking to Qi Bao'er in men's clothing in the car.
"I thought our Ba'er country was dry enough, but now it seems that the situation in Zhuque is not that good either?" Is there really a way for them to survive if they go to Zhuque?
But if they go back, they will definitely reach a dead end, and there is no way out.
The country of Bar has been at war for several generations, and it is already riddled with holes. The city of Yed they escaped from is barely considered a decent city, with not many decent and intact houses to be found.
Regardless of the fact that the Qianhua family is the richest man, in terms of the city of Yede in the Baal Kingdom, if you compare it to the Qilin Kingdom, they are considered to be ordinary people.
They live not in a house but in a cave on the mountain. There is a spring mouth next to the cave, which is also the only source of water in Yede City now, so they are the richest people, because anyone who wants water has to give something in exchange.
Yes, no gold or silver is used, it is an exchange of things for water.
Although gold and silver can still be used in the country of Baal, because all resources are decreasing or even scarce, prices have become high, and gold and silver have become less and less valuable. One tael of silver cannot buy a glass of water.
Mr. Qianhua is so worried. He hasn't washed or showered in several days, so he raises his hand and wipes away a layer of sand on his face.
He whispered in a tone that he did not believe: "Suzaku is a big country after all, and Barr is its subsidiary. When we get to Suzaku, Suzaku should take us in, right?"
