Chapter 87 Sneeze

After a while, Wei Xiankang held a can of milk in his left hand and a cloth bag in his right hand for the old lady.

The old lady took it happily, knocked her forehead on the ground three times, choked with sobs and said, "Your Excellency is the old woman's benefactor. I hope that you can solve this Pingxi where hunger is everywhere and people's livelihood is dying. Let us ordinary people live a peaceful life." life."

King Yu on horseback was startled, he raised his eyebrows, the old lady knew that he was here to do business in Pingxi.

It's no wonder that others ran away when they saw this large group of people, but she was the only one who dared to come forward to beg for food.

"Do you know why this Pingxi is so depressed?" He looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground, but he didn't expect her to say anything.

The old woman knelt on the ground and trembled, feeling a little apprehensive, but when she thought of her dead son and daughter-in-law, she couldn't care less. Maybe this lord could lead everyone out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Thinking of this, she tremblingly said: "This old woman doesn't know too well, she only knows that a few years ago, the government forced us to pay ten times more taxes every year, and in addition, we had to pay one hundred shi of grain. , It is not easy for us ordinary people to grow food. The food we grow is only enough for the whole family to eat and drink. If we hand in the money and food every year, wouldn’t there be a famine? Since then, Pingxi has gradually become less peaceful .”

One hundred shi of grain at that time was equivalent to more than 3000 catties in modern times.

Hearing this, King Yu nodded slightly, waved his big palm lightly, and ordered Wei Xiankang: "Take her to the carriage loaded with goods at the back."

He still couldn't bear it, fearing that the refugees would beat them to death for food, after all, the grandparent and grandson were already very weak from hunger.

The old woman was overjoyed and had no choice but to kowtow again and again to thank her.

After Wei Xiankang settled down the grandparents and grandchildren, the large group continued on their way, but the leader Yu Wang's complexion was slightly green, a blue vein on his forehead swelled out, and several tendons from the sun's nest were all there faintly on his face. twitching.

It seems that Pingxi is really as Little Wild Cat said, there is something wrong with the government's inaction.

And Gao Chuchu, who was picking peaches on the tree, felt an itchy nose, and then said "ahhhhhhhhhhh!" She shrugged her nose, looked down at the peaches in the fruit basket, and shouted at Qin Shi on another tree Said: "Sister Qin, it's almost time, let's go back."

When Qin Shi on the other tree heard it, she agreed from a distance. At first, she only dared to pick it under the tree. When there were more and more peaches in Chu Chu's fruit basket, she didn't care about so many, so she asked the maids to push her to the tree to pick them. Now, the four big maids were guarding under the tree, lest she go down the tree When I fell.

But at this moment, Ning Shi also came to Taoyuan wearing dazzling orange-red clothes, her head was covered with garnet crystals and emerald bead flowers, followed by a dozen servants, and behind her was a maid holding an umbrella to shade her.On the left and right, a servant girl supported her arm, and fanned her with a sunflower fan in her hand. She looked like a noble lady, and Xinrou walked in front of her.

She hadn't come out for a walk in a good day, and when she heard from the servants that the peaches in Taoyuan were ripe, and Xinrou was clamoring to eat the peaches again, she brought a large number of servants over.

As soon as Gao Chuchu and Qin Shi got off the tree, they saw Ning Shi coming from a distance, they looked at each other and went forward to salute.
