Chapter 81 Are You Rich?

The one who answered her was a boy who looked only in his teens.

But the thin face is sunken, and the eyes are a little timid.

Qing Kuo glanced at the group of people, most of them were young and middle-aged, there were few old people and children, and even fewer women.

In such years, the elderly and children cannot survive, and it is even more difficult for women.

Qing Kuo once heard her master tell her what she had seen and heard during her travels, talking about the years of war and famine, starvation was everywhere, and children were eaten by children. Women and children were often food, and the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. There is no difference between man and beast.

She felt incredible at the time.

She couldn't imagine that scene, and didn't understand how it could happen.

Until now, looking at the numb-looking people in front of them, they may not have reached the step of changing their sons and eating them, but the rotting corpses all over the place also show that it is not a legend.

"Where is your village?" Qing Kuo asked the boy who answered.

They can stay here, which means that the village is not too far away. There is a canal passing by here. Even if there is no water to eat, they should occasionally be able to rob some passing merchant ships with luck.

If she guessed correctly, those who guarded the pier to rebel were those who organized robbery.

These refugees, on the other hand, have no guts and just want to find a chance to get something to eat, or to find a way to leave Lingzhou.

In the past, the government was afraid that the disaster would be exposed, so they sent troops to guard the main road to prevent them from running away. After Lian Jinchen and the others arrived, they were not allowed to run around for disaster relief, so as not to cause more chaos.

Qing Kuo waited for them to reply, but this time, the boy didn't speak again.

No one spoke.

Qing Kuo put down the immobile child in her arms, took out the needle and pricked him a few times, his body twitched a few times, and vomited out a pile of yellow water mixed with black things.

The smell is smoky.

But the child's father burst into tears, and rushed over with a limp and hugged the child into his arms.

Then knelt down and kowtowed desperately to Qing Kuang.

"Thank you, thank you, sir, thank you..."

The child in their family is already sick and has more breath and less breath. He can't see a doctor, and he has nothing to eat. He only has one breath left.

He is also crazy, thinking that both left and right are dead, he might as well try his luck, so that he will throw the child out regardless.

Unexpectedly, I really met a nobleman and took my life.

"If you want to live, take me to your village, and I will let you live." Qing Chuan said.

After listening to her words, everyone still looked numb, and the only light that shone on them fell on their carriages.

Especially the two cars at the back, it was obvious that something was pulled.

"I'll take you there!" The middle-aged man tremblingly got up while holding the child, his voice was rough but extremely firm.

It seems to believe that there are miracles that can come to the world.

Qing Kuo nodded, "Let's go, now."

Liu Yingzhong hesitated to speak, but hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to say anything.

It wasn't until he saw that the middle-aged man was really leading the way, and Qing Kuang really followed, that he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What can you do, can you ask for rain? If it doesn't rain, they will still be the same There is no hope, the relief food from the government will not last for a few days at all."

Even if a batch of money and food has just been sent from the capital, this amount of money and food is not enough for the Lingzhou Prefecture alone, let alone the counties, towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou Prefecture.

"Don't you want to be an official? I'll give you the money, and you can raise a batch of food and send it over. It won't be difficult, right?" Qing Kuo asked him.

Liu Yingzhong nodded in confusion, "It's not difficult, but... do you have money?"
