Chapter 322 Those two people

Disaster would come sooner than she imagined.

On the second day of the carriage's journey, Qin Zhiyi saw many disaster victims with disheveled faces on the road.

They were all as thin as firewood from hunger. When they saw their large army passing by, they all jumped on them regardless of their own safety, knelt down to block their way, held their bowls that had been licked clean long ago, and begged them for a mouthful of dry food.

This was what Qin Zhiyi hated the most. She clenched her fists and finally restrained the idea of ​​giving them things directly.

There were too many victims. She just asked He Changxuan to inquire about it, and she learned that food had been out of food in the Central Plains since early spring.

There was no rain during spring planting, so the people were forced to fetch water from the river, but in the end the river quickly dried up and the river bed was exposed.

The crops that were planted did not sprout, and even those that did sprout soon withered.

Realizing that they had nothing to eat, the victims swarmed into the fields to pick up the food they had planted.

In the end, even the roots and bark of the trees were used to feed themselves.

They were only the first group to ask this question, but looking around, there were already thousands of people in this group.

If they gave food to these victims, there were more than a hundred old, weak, women and children, even if there were dozens of strong young people among them, but once there was a conflict, no matter who was injured, she would not want to see it.

After politely declining, the victims did not stay much longer. Qin Zhiyi asked He Changxuan to tell them to try their best to go west. I heard that there was not much impact there and there was food. After hearing this, the people were very grateful.

Start following their carriage.

Erni and Dabao were lying by the window watching this scene, and asked her puzzledly: "Aniang, aren't the carriages behind us all full of grain? Why don't you share it with them?"

Qin Zhiyi sighed and said: "There are too many people. If we divide the food at this time, it will definitely cause panic."

Dabao also asked at this time: "Mom, once we let them know that we have food, they will become red-eyed and desperately want to take it away. Then something more terrifying than starvation will happen?"

She nodded and touched Dabao's head: "Yes, once a person's life is threatened and hungry, he will lose all reason and even risk his life for a bite of food.

Mom also saw their faces just now, so it shouldn’t be a problem to hold on for another two days. Then we will take out some food and make some porridge to eat with them on the way."

After saying this, she added: "But remember, we can't let them know that we have more, so we only take out the food in front for them to cook."

He also packed the carriages in the back in sacks, but they were filled with quilts and the like.

In order to avoid looting, she even had several sacks of sand prepared.

When it was almost dark, the carriage stopped and set up camp.

It is indeed very cold in the west and the wind is strong. Qin Zhiyi was wearing cotton clothes and could still feel the chill when he got off the carriage.

The victims looked at them with red eyes, as if even the flesh on their bodies had turned into delicious food.

She knew that in history, due to famine and war, Yi Zi cannibalism did occur. Even though she didn't want to think bad things about them, she still had to be on guard against others.

After blessing the long line, he took down a bag of wheat from the carriage in front, set up a big pot on the spot and started cooking it.

The wheat hasn't been ground into flour, but it's too late. Just put a lot of it into the pot and boil it. Then peel a few potatoes and put some salt in it. After it's cooked, it becomes a rare delicacy.

Although they were used to eating fine grains and could not bear to eat them, the two children held the bowls and said nothing.

Each of the victims was given a bowl of wheat porridge. It seemed that they had not had a full meal for a long time. After eating, they licked up all the soup in the bowl.

After eating, he knelt down and worshiped her, calling her the Living Bodhisattva over and over again.

In order to appease them, Qin Zhiyi said loudly: "We are also going to the west, and we happen to be on the way with you. I do still have some food here. Don't worry, I will have people cook wheat porridge for you to eat every day, although it is not special.

It’s delicious, but at least you won’t starve to death.”

"When we get to the Western Region, we won't be hungry anymore."

These words inspired the people's hearts to a great extent, and she saw a rare hint of joy among those expressionless people.

At night, she still asked He Changxuan to lead everyone to take turns on duty to avoid accidents.

Who knew that the worrying scene would still happen.

Later in the night, she heard a scolding sound.

When she woke up, He Changxuan and several others were kneeling in front of two people.

They were two skinny young men. They were kicked in the crook of the leg by He Changxuan, and they knelt on the ground with a plop.

Behind them was a cut sandbag. The sand was scattered on the ground, and the two people's eyes were full of fear.

"Please, madam, please spare us. We are just very hungry and thought there was food here."

"Madam, we are first offenders, please forgive us."

Qin Zhiyi just paced back and forth in front of the two people, while Fei Chengsheng stood quietly beside her. She just glanced at the two people and said to her: "I will handle this matter, you take it with me."

The children should go back to the tent to rest first."

She knew that Fei Chengsheng must have discovered something, so she nodded yes.

She didn't know what was going on outside. She only knew that after taking the child back, there was no movement outside soon.

When Fei Chengsheng came back, the two children were already asleep.

Seeing this situation, Fei Chengsheng lowered his voice and said: "Those two people just now..."

When she heard this, she felt frightened.

Fei Chengsheng added: "The eyes of those two people were glowing blue, and their faces were also green..."

"Then what did you do with them?"

When she asked, her heart was beating fast.

Fei Chengsheng stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and then said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. As for those two people, I have dealt with them according to military law. In order to avoid the same thing happening, I have people deal with them very cleanly."

.”

He said it very implicitly, but she still understood it.

These two people must have been killed by him and cremated with their bodies.

Only in this way will the incident not occur again.

Fei Chengsheng hugged her and continued: "When we arrive, I will do my best to extract some food and bring it back to them. I believe the court will find a way to deal with this matter soon."

At this point, he paused: "Now the people are displaced and there is chaos on the border. Ayi, do you regret coming here with me?"

"No regrets."

She leaned in his arms and her tone was full of tenderness: "I am willing to be with you, even to the ends of the world. As you said, people are displaced and chaos is happening on the border. It is not difficult to guarantee that some people will take advantage of the situation and rob them.

The danger may be around you."
