"If you're begging, then it's a serious begging. Why do you use such despicable means to deceive people?"
Lin Xu was not moved by this kid's bitter words and still said with a cold face.
"Young master, you don't know. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month this year, a total of seventeen people from our village came to Suzhou Mansion to beg for food. Except for me and Da Zhuang, most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled."
"Originally, Dazhuang and I wanted to find a job, and we didn't want to beg. But we asked many families, and they also hired people as apprentices, but they only gave us food and no wages."
"It doesn't matter to us two, as long as we have food to eat, but the people in our village can't do it. They can't find work or food. If we don't care about them, no one will care about them!
"
"To be honest, sir, in just over a month, four people have died of illness and starvation, including a child under six years old..."
"Dazhuang and I really had no choice but to use this shameful trick to cheat some money... But the money we got from the deception was never squandered, it was all used to give to those
The folks are buying food and clothing..."
Having said this, the monkey felt a little sad and couldn't help but shed tears.
"What you said...is all true?"
Xia Dahai's voice was a little hoarse.
"It's absolutely true! If there is a lie, then let God drop a thunder and blow my monkey alive! If the two young masters don't believe my oath, then I can take the two young masters to my fellow villagers outside the city.
Take a look where you are, and you will know if it is true!"
The monkey said confidently.
"Sir, let's go take a look!"
Although Xia Dahai was a sergeant and was ruthless when killing enemies on the battlefield, in his daily life, he was a very soft-hearted person!
Not only is your heart soft, but your ears are also soft!
After hearing what the monkey said, he couldn't help but blush and almost shed tears.
Lin Xu glanced at Xia Dahai, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's go and have a look..."
There is no rush to find an image spokesperson for the soap. You have plenty of time. If you want to see the sea, then go and see it!
Based on his understanding of Xia Dahai, if he doesn't go and take a look and get to the bottom of this matter, then Xia Dahai will definitely not be able to sleep well tonight!
"You two gentlemen, please come this way and I will lead you!"
The monkey bent down and stretched out his hand to gesture, trying to imitate the way those upper-class people saluted, but his actions were specious, and the clothes on his body were in tatters and full of mud, making him look like a mud monkey.
Generally, there is an indescribable funnyness!
"Lead the way!"
Lin Xu couldn't help but laugh and said.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a dilapidated temple on the edge of the city.
In recent years, due to the excessive prosperity of Taoism, Buddhism has been severely suppressed, and many temples have been abandoned. All these places have become temporary residences for refugees and beggars.
Some people are so hungry that they even eat Guanyin soil when they feel dizzy.
However, after eating Guanyin soil, it was not digested, and the stomach became round but could not be expelled. In the end, he died tragically due to blockage of the digestive tract!
In this temple whose name is no longer known, there is a man who just died from eating Guanyin soil. Kneeling next to him is a young woman in her twenties, and a six or seven-year-old girl, lying on top of the man.
Crying uncontrollably, looking very miserable!
"He was so hungry that he died from eating Guanyin soil..."
Monkey felt that Lin Xu might not know what was going on, so he explained to him in a low voice.
"If the people are so hungry, shouldn't the government care?"
Lin Xu asked in a low voice.
"The government also set up a porridge shed, but the porridge was too thin. Each person could only receive one bowl per day, which was not enough to eat. In addition, there were also some wealthy people who donated porridge. However, there were too many people affected by the disaster last winter.
There are so many people flocking to Suzhou to beg for food, and the government can’t control it..." This chapter has been completed!
