Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Chapter 137 She still has a conscience

"Besides..." the little beggar sighed again, his face a little numb, "We escaped from An County next door this spring. In recent years, An County has always been plowed by the Southern Jin Dynasty. But in recent years, the fields in The crops were not good either. Many people fled last autumn, and we couldn’t survive any longer, so we escaped. We escaped relatively late, we only came after the New Year.”

"My parents always thought that it would be better to live in our hometown. After a hard time, we could always get ahead. But then they had people from the Southern Jin Dynasty kill them, so I escaped. People on the road said that there was a new magistrate here in Jixian County. , last winter we resettled a group of refugees and distributed them money and land."

I don't know whether it was due to excessive trust or dependence on Meng Tan, but the little beggar said everything. The half-year-old child's face was covered with tears and runny nose, and he felt extremely aggrieved.

"But when we came, the people from the county government said that the land in the county had been allocated and there was no more land to give to us. They asked us to try other counties. But we were really scared. Mr. Cui is such a good person. Officer, we don’t want to go to other counties. Who knows what kind of officials we will meet? Back then, An County... hmm!"

The little beggar's mouth was suddenly covered by an old beggar, who also gave the little beggar a head slap, "You idiot, stop talking."

Then he smiled bitterly at Meng Tan and said, "Don't blame me, Great Immortal. This boy frightened Jing'er all the way, and he was a little arrogant. People like us, who have no road, no house or land, can't find a job. Just wait a little longer, if you can wait until Master Cui comes back, maybe you can be saved."

"Otherwise, we will have no choice but to sell ourselves into slavery."

As soon as these words were said, all the beggars present looked sad.

Their way of survival is unknown.

Meng Tan's heart also sank. She wanted to ask, An County is always being beaten, doesn't the county magistrate know?

What about the military health branch in An County?

Why didn't you care?

Since people from the Southern Jin Dynasty have been hunting down grass and valleys as far as An County, and Jixian County is also very close to the Southern Jin Dynasty, will they also be attacked?

The Southern Jin Dynasty was the dynasty established by the remnants of the previous dynasty. It was located next to the entire Fuling County, separated by a river. Logically speaking, the defense should be extremely strict.

However, she couldn't ask, and she couldn't ask.

Meng Tan raised her head and glanced over. Her figure was reflected in the eyes of each beggar, filled with hope and desire for life.

Further back, there were rows of gray houses, with figures walking around from time to time. Their bodies had more patches than hers, and their faces showed the hardship caused by life.

There are also simple thatched shacks, no different from beggars' dens.

No, this should be the place where these people were placed. Meng Tan tilted his head and looked at Tian Yunxiang, pointing at the group of beggars and the rows of dusty houses.

He was lip-syncing: Is this where they are placed? where is it?

Meng Tan did it slowly because she was afraid that Tian Yunxiang would not understand.

Tian Yunxiang is also very serious, and her eyes are even red. She is a farmer, so she will naturally take on her own behalf.

"Mom, this is the west of the city. I heard that there was a big fire in the past and many people died. No one would come here or buy the land here. They should have been placed here by Mr. Cui."

Hearing this, Meng Tan walked towards the dilapidated building, followed by a group of people.

"Uuuuuuuuuah..."

As he got closer, Meng Tan heard one or two kitten calls. When he took a closer look, he saw behind the broken wall a withered and thin woman, holding a baby as big as a kitten, and the woman was breastfeeding.

But where is the milk in that skinny body?

Meng Tan saw sporadic blood stains on the corners of the baby's mouth, thinking that it was not full and was crying.

At this time, a man appeared from behind her, holding a porridge bowl in his hand. He walked carefully to his wife and child, and saw the woman dip her fingers into some porridge water and stuff it into the baby's mouth.

The baby stopped crying immediately and smacked his lips hard.

Meng Tan didn't dare to look any further.

The current situation of these people is already better than that of many others.

At least they were alive and had something to eat.

There were so many people on the roadside that their bones were frozen to death, and so many people who fell down and never got up again.

There were so many people who sold their wives and children but did not survive in the end.

Oh, at least this man came here with his wife and children.

This should be something that makes people happy. She is just an ordinary person now. She can't do anything for these people, so she doesn't need to feel guilty.

Meng Tan asked herself step by step, and finally found out.

Well... she still has a conscience, and she even wants to tell these people: It's okay, I can find a job for you, it doesn't have to be so hard.

But she didn't have the guts. She even wanted to leave some money for this family, but if she left it for this family, what about the others?

It was very sad. She had never seen such a scene before. In the past, she felt that the roads were frozen to death, and famine and cannibalism were far away from her.

The joy of improving one's cultivation just a moment ago was washed away, leaving only a vast void and a heavy heart.

If she wants to climb up and improve her cultivation, these responsibilities and these people must be borne by her.

After all, she inherited their legacy.

Meng Tan pulled Tian Yunxiang out of the crowd, and until her back disappeared, many people were still watching.

"Is the immortal disgusted?"

"No, the Immortal will not dislike you. The Immortal is showing mercy. There are tears in the Immortal's eyes."

"She left in tears."

Liu Yuan immediately retorted.

"...The Great Immortal is really kind. If we had just asked her to find us a job, wouldn't it be——"

"Shut up!" The old beggar covering his mouth glared, and a trace of majesty overflowed from his withered body, "Haven't you heard the rumors in the town?"

"The Great Immortal is a goddess in the sky who cannot bear to see the suffering of all sentient beings. She uses her mortal body to come to the lower world to save all sentient beings."

"But, but, she can even find work for us..."

"Did you see the patches on her clothes? I don't think her mortal life was that good. Even so, she still used her money to help orphans and help us."

The old beggar looked at the person who spoke, "Li San, you used to be relatively wealthy in the countryside. Will you use your money to help others?"

Li San lowered his head in shame, "No."

"You can't, but the immortal can."

"So, she is a goddess, but a goddess who is down and out. Why should we say something bad about her when she is down and out?"

Meng Tan didn't know that the rumors were so outrageous. She was so sad that she fell asleep when she got home.

There are a lot of things happening every day.

You say you are recovering from your injuries, but you are actually here to become a Bodhisattva, right?

When he woke up, it was Dark Sky again. Under the moonlight, Meng Tan took out his banknotes from under the pillow, and his heart suddenly ached.

Hey!

Of her three hundred taels, she now only has a little over two hundred taels left. Those slices of ginseng actually cost a hundred taels? !

So expensive.

It seems that she is still poor.

Meng Tan took the two hundred taels and began to think about how to make money.

It is unrealistic to rely on others. Chen Changsheng has been out for several days and has not heard any news about making money.

If she wants to save this group of people, she must have a place to settle them, and she must give them a job, right?

Therefore, she still had to get some industry of her own.
