The two changed into regular clothes, came out of the East Palace, passed through Donghuamen and Dong'anmen, and came to the area where ordinary people lived in the capital.

Despite the heavy snow, the streets in the capital were still crowded, with the hawking of shops on the streets and snacks steaming and very lively.

If this were normal, Zhao Rui would have been very excited, but now she didn't know her life and death, and no matter how lively the scene was, it would not arouse her any interest.

She followed Li Chen numbly and nervously, came out of Chongwen Gate, passed Yongding Gate, and walked out of the capital city.

Once you leave Yongding Gate, you feel like you have come to another world.

Desolate and vast, the mountain scenery can be seen vaguely in the distance, and the snow is covered in the near view. The whole world is covered with silver. There are pedestrians coming and going on the official road, tourists and business travelers are queuing to enter the city, but everyone's face is

A heavy area.

"This uncle, okay, okay, poor kid, I haven't eaten a bite for three or five days. The uncle is very kind and just give me some edible or a copper plate so that the kid can eat a cake.

”

Li Chen took Zhao Rui out of the official road as soon as he left the official road, and immediately a skinny old man leaned on a wooden stick, limped with one leg and hunched over, nodding and begging, and at his feet was a dirty, four or five years old.

The child, the unclothed child, hugged the old man's legs tightly like a thin monkey, and looked around blankly with his already unconscious eyes.

When the wind and snow blew, the grandfather and grandson trembled.

And there are many such people nearby.

Li Chen knew that there were a large number of victims from outside the capital, but he did not expect that the number of victims had spread to the vicinity of the gate of the capital.

When Li Chen went out, it was naturally impossible for him to bring money on him, so he looked at Zhao Rui.

As a woman, Zhao Rui's heart was softer. When she saw the old and old couple in front of her, she felt sympathy suddenly flooded. However, she didn't bring any money on her body and took off a bracelet and wanted to hand it to the old man.

This move was stopped by Li Chen.

"You want to kill them?"

Li Chen pointed to the victims who were staring at the bracelet with his eyes lightened and said.

"The rich people also pay attention to not revealing their wealth. If their grandfather and grandson take your bracelet and sell it for money, they can kill these people who are willing to make money in the blink of an eye."

Zhao Rui was shocked to realize that she almost did something bad, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Li Chen ignored Zhao Rui and clapped his palms.

A Jinyiwei dressed in disguise immediately walked over.

"Go and buy two steamed buns and sesame cakes."

After Li Chen sent the Jinyiwei away, he said to the old man with a gentle voice: "Brother-in-law, where did you come from?"

The old man knew that Li Chen was sending someone to buy food for him, so he immediately thanked him and answered whatever he had when facing Li Chen's question.

"This kind-hearted uncle, our grandfather and grandson came from Xishan Province."

"I heard that the disaster in Xishan Province is the worst. My father-in-law came from there and had to cross Nanzhili all the way, so it was not easy, right?" Li Chen asked again.

The old man lowered his head, stretched out his rough and ruddy hands and touched the head of the child at his feet, and said in an almost numb tone: "Our home is fifty miles away from the Yellow River. I thought that no matter how big the flood was, it would not affect it, but that night

The dam collapsed directly, and I don't know how many people died. The flood rushed over. Our family was sleeping, thinking about whether to hide in other places, but in the blink of an eye, the house collapsed, son, daughter-in-law, wife, and

There are two newborn fat doll twin grandchildren, both of which are… gone.”
