The old woman held a little boy who was only five or six years old in her arms.
The little boy's lips were chapped and turned white. His eyes were closed and he was held in the arms of the old woman.
Everyone in Shenjia Village is doing well. Some families have collected grains in advance, and some people have bought some grains from her house. Although they can't fill their stomachs every time, they are not in a state where they can't eat.
The team of less than a hundred people in front of them looked like they had not eaten for many days, and their cheeks were sunken.
There were also some men who had injuries on their bodies and looked listless.
Everyone in the Shen family couldn't bear it, so they could only force themselves not to look at them.
When he was about to pass the group of refugees, Shen Yue suddenly said: "Mom, we have to take a closer look when we arrive at the county town. Although the refugees have been swept away, there may be some food left behind."
Shen Yu's voice was loud, and the refugees next to her and the families walking in front of the Shen family could hear her words clearly.
If there really is food in the city, we can't let others find it first.
Those families quickened their pace and soon overtook the people in front of them.
"Why are you so anxious? I don't know how to save some energy." The person being squeezed muttered.
Shen Yuyu turned his head and looked behind him, and sure enough he saw the group of people following him not far or near.
"Is there really food in the city?" Mrs. Song, who was next to Shen Yuyu, asked in a low voice.
Shen Yuyu said: "I don't know either, but maybe I'm lucky enough to find food that hasn't been stolen."
After walking for a day, we arrived at the gate of Shaoxian County.
What I saw was a desolate scene. The city gate was wide open, and there were corpses outside that had been dead for who knows how many days.
There was no one in the city. The refugees came in force that day, and a large group of people gathered outside the city. What everyone in Shenjia Village saw on the mountain that night was just superficial.
After the refugees entered the city, they burned, killed, and looted, venting their pent-up resentment here.
All the people in the city who could escape have long since fled, and Shaoxian County is now an empty city.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and carefully avoided the corpse, planning to stay in the city tonight.
…
The Shen family found a cleaner courtyard to live in. There were many people and the courtyard they found was large, so they specially set aside a room for Shen Yuyu.
The last two words Shen Yuyu said before entering the city were only heard by the families in front of them and the group of refugees next to them.
Several families in Shenjia Village didn't say anything when they heard this. If they really had food, they definitely wouldn't want to share it with more than one person.
When it got late at night, they went out to look for any food that had been left behind.
But after rummaging through several houses, I couldn't find a grain of food. I guess it had been snatched away by the refugees a long time ago.
They returned to their homes dejectedly.
The people in Shenjia Village also knew that these people had followed them, but they lived in the east of the city and they lived in the west, so they didn't interfere with each other.
Shen Yuyu had sneaked out after nightfall, so it was expected that they did not find any food.
Let alone food, even the fine gold, silver and other items were scraped clean. How could they find anything?
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a faint knock on the door, and the person inside opened the door.
"..." The person who opened the door was the old woman who was blocking the road to beg for food.
The person standing outside is the old man from another group of people. According to her, this is the center of their village.
There he was sighing: "Hey, this is half a pancake given by my mother-in-law. Let the children eat it first to fill their stomachs. Our family has no food. From now on... we won't be able to help."
The old woman was moved to tears and sobbed in a low voice: "Thank you very much, Lizheng. Thank you very much, Lizheng. When the dog grows up, I will definitely let him remember your family's kindness."
"It's hard to say whether she can survive. Go back quickly." There was a wave of hands for her to go back to feed the child.
The old woman closed the door with great thanks and walked back.
The food supply at home is about to run out. If we want to go elsewhere, it’s hard to say whether we can survive.
When I walked around a corner, I suddenly remembered a voice that sounded like a man and a woman behind me.
"stop."
Li Zheng suddenly turned his head, but saw no one, and the sound came from another direction.
"If you want to save the lives of the people in your village, just stand there and listen to me honestly."
A gust of wind blew by, and Li Zheng shivered, but he still said honestly: "You said it."
"Go to Liang Ji's grain store in the west of the city at noon tomorrow. There is food there that can save your villagers."
Na Zheng recognized the voice as that of the old immortal. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "The old man and the villagers just went to take a look. There is nothing in Liang Ji's shop."
They even went to a few grain stores, but they were in such a mess that there really wasn't much left.
"You will get it naturally when you go there at noon tomorrow." The voice said again: "I saw that you were in such a predicament and you were willing to lend a helping hand to the people in the same village, so I wanted to save your life. Do you know what to do after you get the food?
what to do?"
Lao Li hurriedly promised: "I will definitely distribute this food to the people in the village and will never take it for myself."
"Remember what you said, remember to go at noon, otherwise the consequences will be..."
Lao Li said quickly: "Don't worry, I will never go ahead of time."
Just when Lao Li thought the voice had disappeared, another voice suddenly came: "...The Imperial City is not a good place to go."
Lao Li was reacting for a long time but there was no sound coming. He called out twice tentatively and found that no one was there.
Thinking about what the voice just said, Lao Lizheng couldn't suppress his excitement and wished he could go to Liangji Grain Shop again now.
But then he thought about the old god saying he had to go back at noon tomorrow, and he was worried that going now would offend the old god, so he endured it and went back.
They brought some food with them when they came out, but they were robbed on the way. If what the old god said was true, then they would be saved.
Shen Yuyu didn't know that she had been treated as an old fairy by that old man.
After finishing the work, she returned to the Shen family's residence.
She thought about it, God gave her a golden finger as big as infinite space, and sent her to this place to give her a second life.
Then she would reciprocate and help the people of this world.
Although it is impossible for everyone to help, let her do her best to help without affecting her safety.
She originally just wanted to use the cover of this city to help Shenjia Village and those people, but the scene she just saw made her change her mind.
The people in Shenjia Village are not yet without water or food, so let’s help those people first.
In order to prevent the Shenjia Villagers from staying and searching door to door after discovering that there was food in the city, she decided to wait until they left tomorrow and then secretly put the food into the food store.
As for the people in Shenjia Village, she will still be with them for a while, and she can think of other ways.
