Chapter 442

After marching for half a month, the army finally came to the junction of Qingye Kingdom and Zuochuan Kingdom.

It is here that riots occur frequently.

Looking at the scene of peace and peace all the way, and seeing many refugees here, Gu Qingye had mixed feelings.

The young people on the border have almost run away, and most of the people who stay here are old people who are unwilling to leave and have an attachment to their hometown.Riots broke out frequently, and the people lived a life of fear and fear every day. The shops in the town were almost closed, and many elderly people could not even eat.

After Gu Qingye and Jiang Beiyao stationed the army at the base, they wore ordinary clothes and came to inspect the local situation.

Walking along the mountain road, many gray-haired old people were digging things in the mud with a small basket and a small pick.

Gu Qingye walked over to see, what they dug in the mud were lumps of powder, which looked dirty.

"Old man, what are you digging this thing for?"

The old man didn't even raise his head, and kept digging mechanically.

His voice was a little weak, and he replied: "I heard from people in the village that boiling this thing in water can fill your stomach."

Gu Qingye was shocked, how could this thing be edible, it would definitely cause diarrhea.

She stepped forward to stop the old man's movement: "Stop digging, this is not edible."

Naturally, the old man couldn't listen, and while he refused, the basket was overturned, and the powder fell all over the floor.

Several refugees around saw the fallen powder, and quickly stepped forward to pick up the powder that the old man had been digging for a long time.

The old man looked at his empty basket after working hard for a long time.

Hunger, fatigue, all emotions are intertwined, and the old man is crying in the wind.

Jiang Beiyao protected Gu Qingye behind him, and the old man beat Jiang Beiyao's body a few times, but he did not hide.

"You pay me for the powder. I only dug a little bit this day, and now it's all gone. My little grandson is still waiting to eat!"

There was a skinny child next to the old man, who immediately burst into tears.

This child looks to be about the same age as Chaoyang, but Chaoyang's white and chubby complexion is very good, but this child's complexion is a bit gray.

Gu Qingye was very distressed, she took out her small pocket, and there were some steamed buns in it before going out, which she wanted to eat with Jiang Beiyao when she was hungry at noon.

She handed the steamed buns to the old man, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't mean to knock over your things, and I will compensate you for these steamed buns."

Gu Qingye also stuffed a steamed bun for his little grandson. When the little guy saw the steamed bun, his eyes lit up, and he ate it hungrily.

"Grandpa, it's white flour steamed buns."

It's just ordinary white flour steamed buns, but the little guy seems to have eaten a huge delicacy, crying excitedly while eating.

In the forest, when other flour diggers saw the steamed buns, they dropped all their tools and rushed up, pushing and squeezing, just to fight for the steamed buns in Gu Qingye's hands.

After grabbing it, they didn't hesitate for a moment, and directly stuffed the steamed buns into their mouths.

The scene was chaotic and poignant.

The refugees who didn't get the steamed buns knelt on the ground in unison: "I beg the merciful and merciful benefactor to save us. If this continues, we will all starve to death."

Lu Qingye originally thought that these were just plots in TV dramas, but she was shocked when she actually met her.

This is the corner of the border of Zuochuan country, and it is also the source of Zuo Feiyu's riots, where all the crimes started.
