"What you don't know is that Yu'an City is located in a low-lying area. The two major river basins of Yujiang River and Yuanjiang River happen to pass around Yu'an City. Every year, whenever there are heavy rains for several days in a row, floods will rise around the city and the fields will be submerged. After a year of hard work, the people will be able to farm.
No grain harvested”
Zhuge Yu gently shook the white feather fan in his hand, and looked at the scene around him with a calm voice. Pity appeared in his gentle eyes, and he sighed.
"If those in power don't care about the lives and deaths of the people, the country of Dongqi will perish sooner or later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender child with sunken eyes and protruding cheekbones walked up to Feng Qingzhuang and his group with a broken bowl, and knelt down to beg.
"You noble people, please do me a favor and give me something to eat."
Thinking that there must be no food in famine areas, Feng Qingzhuang bought a lot of food before leaving Yu'an City and put it in Mo Yin Yunfeng
Similarly, Wu Jingyu's Mo Yin Yunlong was also filled with food and even rice.
With a thought, Feng Qingzhuang took out two steamed buns from Mo Yin Yunfeng and stuffed them into the little boy's hands.
"Thank you, noble man, thank you, noble man." After the little boy took the two steamed buns, he broke off half of one of the steamed buns. After wolfing it down, he kowtowed hard to Feng Qingzhuang and ran away with the remaining steamed buns.
Yes, but the running speed is not very fast
"Qin Mei, come over and take a look," Feng Qingzhuang ordered.
"Yes, Master" Qin Mei responded, followed the little boy with a little step.
After a while, Qin Mei came back and reported: "Go back to the master, the little boy just took the remaining one and a half steamed buns and went to a thatched house. There lived a woman and another one who was waiting for food.
The baby and a three or four-year-old, skinny little girl quietly took a look at the baby. I am afraid that the baby who is waiting to be fed is about to die."
Speaking of this, Qin Mei was moved and her eyes were moist.
"The people in the world are so innocent. Zhuang'er, let's go over and take a look. Maybe we can save that baby who is waiting to be fed?" Wu Jingyu's deep eyes were dim, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
"That's what I meant, let's all go over and take a look." Feng Qingzhuang nodded with a trace of heaviness in her eyes.
Under the leadership of Qin Mei, the group quickly walked towards the simple thatched house.
You can clearly see from a distance that the simple thatched house was built temporarily without even a door. It can barely keep out the wind and rain. If the rain is heavier, the thatched house will probably rain heavily outside and heavy rain will fall inside.
light rain
Such a picture came into view, and the group felt sad for a while.
"Mom, it's the noble lady who gave me the steamed buns just now." The little boy also saw Feng Qingzhuang and the others, and shouted excitedly to the woman with prominent cheekbones and sunken eye sockets in the thatched house.
The woman struggled to get up, stumbled out of the thatched hut, and came to Feng Qingzhuang and others. With tears in her eyes, she knelt down and said, "My lord, I know you are all kind-hearted people. Please take my child away."
, take them out of this hell on earth and let them live."
"Mom, even if we starve to death, my sister and I will never leave you." The little boy's eyes were firm and somewhat tough.
"Qin Mei, help her up Qian Manguan, you are the doctor, go and see the baby who is waiting to be fed." Feng Qingzhuang's face was cold, but there was a trace of emotion hidden in her eyes as she ordered
The two of them responded, Qin Mei stepped forward to help the woman up, while Qian Manguan walked towards the thatched house that leaked both wind and rain.
After a while, he came out. The smile on his face was no longer replaced by a sad face, and he shook his head towards Feng Qingzhuang.
Feng Qingzhuang felt a pain in her heart. Another young life, before she even had time to take a good look at the world, just starved to death and passed away.
"It's still a step too late." Feng Qingzhuang sighed, with a sad look in her eyes.
"Noble ones, please take my children away."
The woman who lost her child was in great pain at the moment, but in order for her two remaining children to survive, she put away her grief and kept kowtowing to Feng Qingzhuang.
"Auntie, I have some rice here. You can take it first to tide over the famine."
After saying that, Feng Qingzhuang took out a bag of rice from Mo Yin Yunfeng and gave it to Zheng Tianhu, asking him to take it to the thatched house and put it away.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The woman cried with joy and thanked her repeatedly. It had been so long since she had eaten rice that she couldn't even remember it.
Here, Feng Qingzhuang had just taken out a bag of rice, and then, not far away, the hungry people who were also living in shabby thatched houses saw them, old and young, some holding sticks, and some dragging children as skinny as skin and bones, all
Everyone is here, everyone kneels down
"Noble ones, please save us and give us some food."
"Everyone, don't worry, I will find a way to prevent you from going hungry again."
Looking at the faces with sunken eye sockets and sallow complexion, everyone looked at them expectantly, Feng Qingzhuang was moved in her heart and promised.
Then, she took out the steamed buns and rice from Mo Yin Yun Feng and distributed them to everyone one by one. Fortunately, there were not many people there, more than 20 people, and the food after distribution was enough for these people to eat for three to five to seven days.
After doing all this, Feng Qingzhuang and her party continued to move towards Yu'an City. As they went further, there were more and more hungry people. Similarly, more people died of starvation. Corpses were everywhere, and ominous birds and crows were eating the carrion of the dead bodies.
Along the way, the fields on both sides of the road were barren and barren. All the edible leaves and bark were eaten by the hungry people, leaving only the bare tree trunks.
"Damn it, are all the officials in Yu'an City dead? The people are in such a miserable state, and they actually do nothing. And the superior ruler of Dongqi Palace, his people can't even eat tree bark now.
"He actually didn't care." Feng Qingzhuang's dark eyes were filled with overwhelming anger as she cursed.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for the people of Dongqi Kingdom. Feng Qingzhuang's eyes flashed with determination, and she made a great decision in her heart.
"Wu Jingyu, I have decided that I want to help these hungry people so that they will no longer starve or chew tree bark."
"I support you, but we don't have that much food on hand, and the famine in Yu'an City of Dongqi State is so severe, the surrounding areas must not be much better," Wu Jingyu calmly analyzed with deep eyes.
"Money can make all the difference. I believe that if you have money, food will not be a problem." Feng Qingzhuang rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
