Chapter 404: Don’t brag, you are still the messenger
After arriving in Laining Town, Chen Feng did not choose any means of transportation.
Here, it was far more barren than he imagined. It looked like a small town, but the people on the street still seemed to be living in the 1990s.
Far from being as simple as lack of food and clothing, most people's lives are very difficult.
From the eyes of these people, all Chen Feng could see was numbness and despair. He had only seen such scenes in Zhou Shuren's articles.
Numbness, despair, that kind of look was not only seen by one person, but by most people.
"In such a poor place, what benefits are there that are worth killing the envoys of the Wu League?"
He shook his head and looked at the people around him. He didn't give charity or do anything. Even if he could temporarily solve their food and clothing problems, they would probably be back to their original state the next day.
Just walking slowly like this, Chen Feng wanted to see how bad this town was.
What he didn't know was that coming to Ningxiang was the focus of China's poverty alleviation this year, but due to the influence of banditry, it seemed to have become isolated from the world.
"Uncle, can you give us some food?"
At this moment, a ragged little girl walked up to Chen Feng and looked at Chen Feng longingly.
‘Cuckoo’
Chen Feng could vaguely hear the growl from the little girl's stomach. He touched his pocket, but there was nothing to eat.
He was about to reach into his pocket to find some money and give it to the other party, but the little girl turned around and left.
The little girl rushed to a car, and a rich young man got out of a luxury car.
For little girls, a young master from a rich family is often more willing to give them alms than these adults.
But, she was a little unlucky today.
"Go away, little beggar."
The rich young master yelled, his face full of disgust.
"Go away, don't dirty my clothes."
"Please, young master, give us something to eat."
"Master, please, I've been hungry for three days, please."
In front of the rich young master, several children were kneeling and nodding.
Seeing this scene, Chen Feng shook his head, feeling some sympathy in his heart.
"Damn, you are a bunch of bastards. You are worse than pigs and dogs. You are disgusting. I will piss you to death."
The young master from the rich family had a ferocious look on his face, unbuttoned his pants and peed on several children.
Behind him, a man in his fifties showed a kind smile on his face, as if the child in front of him was very cute.
Right here, a hand stretched out and gave the rich young master a hard flick on his penis.
"Don't hurt them if you don't give them, go back, or I will turn you into a transvestite."
The young man who walked over was none other than Chen Feng, who couldn't stand it.
This time, Chen Feng didn't hold back.
The young master from the rich family burst out crying loudly without even fastening his pants.
People around me pointed and thought it was very funny.
Even the children who were insulted laughed along with the adults around them and didn't seem to mind.
Chen Feng felt very uncomfortable in his heart. They were also children. One was enjoying life in the car, while the other group was suffering from the hardships of life.
The housekeeper, who was in his fifties, came over cursing and fastened the young master's trousers.
"You bastard, you dare to hit our young master, please come and deal with him."
Chen Feng glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and a faint murderous intent condensed.
Seeing the look in Chen Feng's eyes, the housekeeper felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and his heart went crazy.
He ordered two bodyguards to beat Chen Feng immediately. In his opinion, these two bodyguards had received professional training, so it would be easy for them to teach the young man in front of him a lesson.
"Boy, come and die!"
The two bodyguards are also fierce people, and they will kill each other when they meet.
"roll!"
Chen Feng kicked the two of them away casually.
"Let's go, young master. This matter is not over yet. If you dare to offend the Zhang family, you will die."
The housekeeper hugged the young master, said a harsh word, and left dejectedly.
"Young man, you shouldn't mess with them. They are members of the Zhang family. Even horse bandits don't dare to touch the Zhang family."
"You'd better run away quickly. It's still too late to run now, otherwise it will be too late."
There were well-meaning people around me trying to persuade me.
Chen Feng smiled faintly, "I'm afraid they won't come."
The others looked sympathetic and looked at Chen Feng as if they were looking at a dead person.
He walked to a steamed bun shop and initially bought dozens of steamed buns, but Chen Feng found that they were not enough. Not only the beggars, but also many adults around looked at the meat buns in Chen Feng's hands with longing expressions.
Chen Feng took out another few hundred yuan and distributed it to all these people before leaving.
"This place is so damn poor."
Chen Feng couldn't figure it out despite racking his brains. What were the intentions of those forces that killed the envoys of the Martial Alliance?
Could it be that you are after these beggars?
Picture these homeless people with no food to eat?
…
Wumeng branch.
With a heavy heart, Chen Feng stepped into the Wumeng branch.
"Here comes someone."
Chen Feng shouted and stepped into the branch.
Compared to the branch in Jiangnan City, this branch is like a pile of rags, with broken walls, broken roads, and even the gate.
When did Wumeng become so in decline?
Seeing that no one came out to greet him, Chen Feng walked inside.
"Who?"
At this moment, an old man walked out.
When the old man saw the young man in front of him, he looked confused.
"Who are you looking for?"
Chen Feng glanced at the old man and said, "I'm looking for the head of the Wumeng branch."
"I am the minister."
"Are you the minister?"
The old man in front of him is at least eighty years old, and he has no breath on his body, which means he is an ordinary person.
This old man whose half body is about to be buried is actually a minister?
"I am the envoy sent by the Martial Alliance."
Chen Feng said softly, and after speaking, he took out his messenger order.
The reason why the leader's order was not shown is that the water here is too deep and it would be inappropriate to reveal one's identity too early.
"Another one is here to die...Hello, messenger."
The old man shook his head and said softly.
After saying that, he walked into the house, took out a very old cup, washed it under the faucet, and then made a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Feng.
"Sir Messenger, we have nothing to entertain you when we come to Ningxiang. I thought the headquarters had forgotten about this place."
"Sir, just call me Lao Huang. The conditions here are not good. I will get you some food later."
Old Huang grinned and said with big yellow teeth.
Chen Feng nodded and glanced at Old Huang, "Old Huang, are you the only one here?"
"No, there are others, but they haven't come to work for a long time, and it's useless if they come."
"Now that the Wu League has lost its dignity, our words are of no use.
It used to be said that a court, a police station and a hospital would be built here, but now there is nothing."
"Why?"
Chen Feng frowned and asked.
"Not yet a horse bandit."
"The horse bandits are already dead. I have eliminated them all."
Chen Feng said calmly.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Lao Huang seemed a little surprised, but he still shook his head, "We are not just horse bandits.
The water is deep, so I advise the messenger to just go through the motions and go home early."
"I came here this time just to change the situation in Ningxiang."
"Change?
What can’t be changed, everyone who wants to change, or has such thoughts, is dead.”
"That's because they didn't meet me. They were all paper tigers. I destroyed them in minutes."
Chen Feng said nonchalantly.
However, Lao Huang shook his head and looked at Chen Feng with disdain.
"This afternoon, I will gather all the people from the Wu League here for a meeting. Anyone who does not come to work in the future will be fired directly. I want to change the situation here."
"If you can't come, just save it. Don't brag. You are still the messenger."
