Chapter 338

The food he took out was like blood spilling out of the sea and attracted a group of sharks, or like a lamb thrown into a pack of hungry wolves. Like a monster with green light, they rushed towards them like a tide, and their hungry and thirsty eyes shone with greed and ferocity, as if they wanted to eat his flesh instead of the cake in his hand!
One by one withered arms stretched out towards him, and the black and dirty five-finger nails grabbed at him. Everyone opened their mouths wide, revealing countless fangs. Those who have never experienced it would never imagine the aura. The prince's feet were weak, and he almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, Mou Biao reacted quickly, pulled Zhu Houzhao past him, threw him onto the back of his horse, and then stabbed the horse of the prince's horse with his backhand. Above the buttocks, the mount suffered from pain, and with a long hiss, it raised its front hooves and opened a path among the crowd, leading the crowd to run away, only to avoid being surrounded by the victims.

If it were Mou Biao, with so many people, they would have to stand and let them cut them one by one. I am afraid that they would be too tired to break their hands and end up being eaten by the victims!

After that, they didn't dare to give anything to the victims at will. If they really couldn't see it, they would first surround the surrounding area like Mou Biao to block the sight of the rest, and then give a little, and so on until the next day. Under the city of Kaifeng...

Mou Biao looked at the man who struggled twice on the ground and was unable to move any more. He had a measure of his feet and knew that this blow would not hurt his muscles, so he called him again,
"Come here, I'll ask you something, if you deserve it well, I'll give you this cake and give it back to your family... If you don't answer well, I'll ask someone else..."

When the man heard this, his eyes lit up, he gritted his teeth, turned over and got up again, he came over and kowtowed in front of Mou Biao,

"As long as the father is willing to give you something to eat, let the villain do anything!"

"Ok!"

Mou Biao nodded and asked him again,

"Where are you from, what are your surnames, how did you arrive in Kaifeng, and how long have you been there? Is there a granary in Kaifeng Prefecture to help the victims?"

The man replied,
"The villain is from Huaiqing Mansion..."

"Huaiqing Mansion..."

Mou Biao frowned,
"Huaiqing is quite far from here, how did you get to Kaifeng?"

The man gave a wry smile, and because he had held on for a long time, his hands were weak, so he knelt down slowly and said,
"The villain's family is all from Huaiqing Prefecture. The younger one's surname is Hao and his name is Guangxian. The whole family is farming in the countryside. Only the villain has studied in a private school for several years. It has only rained twice in our place since spring this year. After that Before a drop of rain fell, the fields at home were cracked and there was no harvest. The villain’s family was considered a wealthy household and had some food in stock, but the government went to the countryside to collect grain and robbed all the food in the house. The Qing Mansion begged all the way to Kaifeng..."

The experience of the Hao family is similar to that of thousands of disaster victims. Mou Biao and the others have heard it no less than a hundred and eighteen times along the way. After hearing it, it is all natural disasters plus man-made disasters. Mou Biao nodded and asked again,
"Then do you have something to eat when you arrive in Kaifeng?"

Then Hao Guangxian replied,

"It was there at the beginning, but it's gone since yesterday..."

"But Kaifeng mansion is out of food?"

Hao Guangxian replied,
"Listen to them... It's not that there is no grain, it's just that the officials of Kaifeng Mansion sold the grain in the granary to unscrupulous profiteers privately, and the profiteers sold the grain to the people in the city at ten times the price, but here we are There is no food to eat!"

In the past, one person could always eat a bowl of clear porridge a day, but now there is no more clear porridge. Mou Biao raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Then...do you believe what they say?"

Hao Guangxian thought for a while, shook his head and then nodded,
"The villain doesn't know whether to believe it or not. After all, there is no clear porridge for two days. If you wait two more days, the whole family will starve to death!"

The victims said everything, some people believed it, some people didn't believe it, but in Hao Guangxian's opinion, no matter how much you listened to, there was absolutely no real thing like a bowl of clear porridge!

Mou Biao nodded and handed him the cake in his hand,

"Eat, let's talk after eating!"

Hao Guangxian was overjoyed to take the cake, and crawled back to his family without eating. The family was very happy to see them, took out a broken bowl, poured the water that Mou Biao gave them in front, put the cake in it, and that's it. A family of more than a dozen stared at the bowl, but they were waiting for the water to melt the cakes in the bowl, and each of them took a sip.

Zhu Houzhao just sighed when he saw it.
"Xiao Lin, someone is coming..."

Mou Biao had seen the victims in all directions and saw that someone was getting food here, and someone got up slowly and walked over, he snorted coldly and said,

"No one is allowed to come near here!"

When people are in extreme hunger, all etiquette, integrity and shame are gone, only endless greed and viciousness are left. If there is no strong force to protect themselves at this time, the weak will only be bullied and bullied!
They have seen too much along the way!

So when the victims approached, Jin Yiwei's people took action, and a scabbard went to the leader. The second and third ones, when a dozen or so disaster victims fell in front of them, these people were finally afraid and retreated to the side, but they still stared at this place unrelentingly. Some people rushed forward and snatched the food from Hao's family or Mou Biao's hands.

Yinger and Liu Jin sat beside Zhu Houzhao, and Mou Biao sat a little below. The four of them just stared blankly at the victims. The cakes of the Hao family over there were finally softened. A small bowl of rice, each person eats in small bites, such a small cake is naturally not enough for a family of seven or eight, but a small bite is enough for them to hang their lives and get through the night!
The Hao family quickly finished eating the pancakes, and even the bowl was licked clean by a thin child. Afterwards, the Hao family got together to discuss it, and Hao Guangxian came over again, with the little girl who licked the bowl behind him. As soon as he came over, he kowtowed vigorously to Mou Biao,
"Thank you for your kindness, villain...the villain's family can't repay you..."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the little girl behind him out,
"Please accept this girl, let her wash and cook for you, make your mattress and quilt, she... Although she is young, but... she can do everything, please accept it!"

Mou Biao glanced at the disheveled girl who was as thin as a chick, and said with a dumb smile,

"Are you repaying your kindness? You are burdening me. Under such circumstances, she will die if she follows you. If she follows me, she might still be able to make a living..."

Hao Guangxian has been in a private school for several years, and he still knows how to be ashamed. He blushed when he heard the words, the veins on his neck were raised, his eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice,

"Grandpa...it's a villain who has lost his face and skin. Really...it seems that there is no way out..."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the little baby held by the young woman over there,

"That... that's my youngest nephew. I... my sister-in-law has no milk to feed him. He...he has slept more and more in the past two days... he can't support him anymore..."

Speaking of this, he swallowed his voice and blinked dryly, but he couldn't even shed tears.
"This girl is...already six years old...she can...can do something, as long as she has something to eat, she can support her...please... please take her in!"

After saying that, he leaned down again and kowtowed his head bang bang. Mou Biao sighed, looked at the little girl who was overwhelmed by the kowtow by the uncle, and saw through her messy hair that was already knotted. A pair of eyes, those eyes are not big, but black and white are distinct, clear and clear, Mou Biao was stunned,

"Her eyes are like Silian..."

The eyes of Si Lian of their family are like this, there is transparency in the ignorance, and some vicissitudes in the bright and clean, but there are countless panic and fear in the eyes of the little girl in front of him, Mou Biao's heart softened, he turned his head Glancing at Zhu Houzhao,

"My lord, I want to bring this family..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded,
"Xiao Lin is in charge!"

If it weren't for his lack of power, he would have wanted to save the victims all over the place. Zhu Houzhao saw starvation all over the place, hungry people filled the wild, and the feeling of powerlessness in his heart became stronger day by day. So what about the sons and grandsons of the dragon, when encountering such a natural disaster, apart from being wise and safe, the only thing he can do is to write a memorial every day, asking his father to issue an imperial decree to order the states to open warehouses and distribute food for relief Victims!
But... It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Even the emperor can't do anything about it. Zhu Houzhao has already watched the politics, so he naturally knows the current situation in Daqing. The treasury is empty and there are famines everywhere. That is, where locusts are infested, where earth dragons turn their backs... After all, disasters happen again and again without interruption!

It would be nice to be able to eat, but where did the surplus food come from?
Even though he is the proud son of heaven, Zhu Houzhao will inevitably have doubts secretly in his heart.
"Could it be that my Zhu family is exhausted, and the heavens sent a disaster warning?"

He felt as if a big rock had been crushed in his heart, but on the surface he couldn't see the clues, and he was feeling uncomfortable. Seeing that Mou Biao planned to take in this family, he was naturally very willing. After thinking about it road,
"Let them follow us when we enter the city at night!"

Mou Biao nodded, Hao Guangxian on the other end could hear clearly, he had already kowtowed like garlic, his forehead was already blood red and still refused to stop, the little girl beside him looked at his uncle blankly, turned his head and looked at him again. Looking at Mou Biao curiously, Mou Biao smiled at her gently and asked her,

"What's your name?"

The little girl whispered,

"Hao Lian'er..."

Mou Biao's smile softened when he heard that,
"Hao Lian'er...a good name!"

This girl looks more and more like Si Lian, if she is brought back to Beijing, Si Lian will be surprised when she sees her!
