Chapter 27

"Don't act like this. If you want to poison us, just say so."

Then everyone in the crowd put down their bowls.

The old man said, "We have gathered here and won't cause you any trouble. Why do you want to kill them all?"

After saying this, many people in the crowd had red eyes.

Seeing that something was not going well, Li Miaoyi quickly stepped forward, walked up to the old man, and said, "Old man, we have no intention of harming you."

"Humph."

The old man turned his head away, obviously not believing Li Miaoyi's words. He looked stubborn and incoherent and did not respond to Li Miaoyi's words.

Li Miaoyi felt helpless. She leaned down and looked at the old man's level. Her eyes were full of sincerity, "Old man, we are sent by His Royal Highness to provide disaster relief."

The old man didn't speak, as if he couldn't hear what Li Miaoyi said.

Li Miaoyi was silent for a while and looked up. Everyone around her had their heads lowered, as if they didn't believe them.

Li Miaoyi felt a little sad for a moment.

It can be said that she and Song Yanxing went through a lot of hardships to get to Changping, and then went through a lot of hardships to enter the east of the city, but the people in the east of the city didn't believe them.

how sad.

Li Miaoyi stood up, stretched out her hand, and said, "Meng Chun, get me a bowl of medicine."

Meng Chun was a little at a loss, but he still walked forward and put the decoction into Li Miaoyi's hand.

Li Miaoyi took it, lifted the veil, and drank it all in one gulp.

The old man suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Miaoyi.

Li Miaoyi took the empty bowl, poured it down, and said, "I prepared this medicine myself."

After that, he pointed to Xiao Qi and others behind him and said, "They cooked it themselves in front of your eyes. Since you don't believe it, just look at me and see if I'm okay."

Li Miaoyi's eyes were full of sincerity and she said, "We just want to cure the plague, fight floods, and let everyone have a home to return to. That's all. Nothing more."

After speaking, Li Miaoyi stretched out her hand. This time Meng Chun understood and put the medicine bowl into Li Miaoyi's hand.Li Miaoyi stretched out her hand and placed the medicine in front of the old man.

The old man looked at Li Miaoyi suspiciously and tentatively stretched out his hand.

Li Miaoyi gently placed the decoction in front of the old man.

The old man picked it up and took a sip with trembling hands. For a long time, nothing happened.

The old man's tears suddenly flowed out and flowed into the soup. Then the old man picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing the old man start drinking, the people around him also picked up their bowls.

The people still lying on the ground also raised their withered arms.

After everyone had finished drinking, the porridge was ready.

Because some patients were inconvenient to get up, Xiao Qi and others personally brought it to them.

Li Miaoyi personally brought a bowl of porridge to the old man, squatted down and looked at the old man.

The old man devoured the food. Li Miaoyi knew when he first served it that the bowl was extremely hot, but the old man seemed not to feel it.Li Miaoyi reached out and took the empty bowl from the old man's hand, walked to where the porridge was being cooked, and filled a new bowl for the old man.

Li Miaoyi handed it to the old man's hand, and the old man took it, but this time he ate significantly slower.

Li Miaoyi sighed and asked in confusion, "Old man, what's going on with you? Why are you all in the east of the city?"

The old man snorted softly and said, "It was just a flood in the beginning. Although the flood was serious, it did not hurt lives. But before the flood ended, the plague came."

After a pause, the old man continued, "As soon as the plague came, the adults who came to Beijing gathered us in the east of the city on the pretext of distributing food. After we arrived, there was no one inside, and the gate to the east of the city was closed. Not opened."

Li Miaoyi frowned and asked in confusion, "How could this be so?"

The old man said, "We don't know either. Anyway, since that day, the gate of the city has been full of people, and we have never gone out again."

Li Miaoyi understood that once she was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of well ropes for ten years. It turned out that it was because she had learned from the past.

No wonder so many people were looking at them warily just now.

Li Miaoyi comforted her, "Master, don't worry, our Crown Prince is the best prince in the world and will definitely keep you safe and sound."

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded vigorously. The old man's eyes were slightly red, and he was looking at Li Miaoyi with tears streaming down his face.

Li Miaoyi was about to give the handkerchief in her sleeve to the old man, but she thought that this woman's thing should not be given to others easily. If anything happened in the future, it would become a sharp weapon that would stab her in turn. So, Li Miaoyi put down her handkerchief that was already in the air. hand.

Li Miaoyi sighed, frowned and asked, "Old man, what happened to you?"

"More than a month ago, a plague suddenly broke out in our area. Mr. Fang, who came to Beijing, said that he would give porridge and medicine in the east of the city. He preached that the medicine was magical, so we believed it."

After a pause, the old man let out a long sigh and said, "I never thought that all of this was a scam. After we all entered the east side of the city, the door was closed, and the sky and the earth did not respond."

After that, the old man bit his lower lip tightly, as if there was something unspeakable that he couldn't say, and said after a while, "If there wasn't a rich farmer in the east of the city who gave us his own grain to eat, we would definitely not be alive. It took such a long time that we ran out of food in the past few days.”

Suddenly the people around the old man began to sob.

"Do you see that mound over there?"

Li Miaoyi looked along the old man's line of sight. There were many small dirtbags not far away, like... The next moment, the old man's words confirmed Li Miaoyi's thoughts.

"Those are those who died of the plague. They couldn't even return to their roots. They could only be buried here. The youngest one there was only a two-month-old baby."

The softness on Li Miaoyi's face instantly condensed in her eyes, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort these people.

Li Miaoyi clenched her fists tightly, she would not let Fang Buping go, no.

Li Miaoyi stood up without letting anyone see the mist in her eyes. She turned to look at Xiao Qi and said, "Master Qi, have you heard this?"

Xiao Qi's voice also revealed anger, saying, "I will write a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince right now."

After saying this, everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Miaoyi and Xiao Qi, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, thank you, Miss, thank you, Sir."

Xiao Qi blew a whistle into the sky, and after a while, an eagle flew from the sky. After Xiao Qi picked up the brush and wrote something, he stuffed it into the eagle's leg and threw it into the sky.

Li Miaoyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Song Yanxing is really a good trick, he has tamed this king in the air.

Li Miaoyi couldn't help but think in her heart that if she could tame Song Yanxing, it wouldn't be an interesting thing.
