Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 457 Meeting the Disaster Victims for the First Time
Li Fu stood still and said without turning his head, "Come over and have a look."

After speaking, Li Fu continued to walk up the slope.

Jia Ren gritted his teeth and followed, and Lu Tong naturally followed.

After walking for a while, they discovered that the slope was much steeper than it looked.

Jia Ren saw from behind that while Lu Tong was walking, the pure white dress was already dirty by the dirt on the ground.

However, Lu Tong didn't care at all, and still closely followed Li Fu's footsteps.

Seeing this scene, Jia Ren felt even more unhappy, thinking what is so good about this Li Fu, why is Lu Tong so devoted to him?

When they slowly walked higher, Jia Ren saw that there were many victims outside the city, all gathered here.

These people hardly even have complete clothes, and all of them are sallow and thin. It can be seen that they have been hungry for a long time.

Jia Ren looked at them without any disturbance in his heart. In his eyes, the life and death of these people had nothing to do with him.

And Lu Tong looked at these disaster victims and was extremely shocked. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

"These people, are they... the disaster victims..."

Li Fu nodded and said, "That's right, these people are the homeless disaster victims. They have no homes of their own, and now they can only wait for rescue here."

"None of them are full now, and they are all waiting for life-saving food and houses."

Afterwards, Li Fu turned his head and said to Jia Ren: "Your brother Jia Dan, buy all the food and store it up, and they will have nothing to save their lives."

"You think your younger brother is just ignorant and just wants to make money, but have you ever thought about how many people will starve to death here just because of your younger brother?"

Jia Ren was silent, he didn't know how to refute now.

But even so, Jia Ren still didn't feel that his younger brother was guilty, after all, that was the education they had received since they were young.

Only things that harm the interests of the family are things that are absolutely unacceptable in their consciousness.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Li Fu probably guessed what they were thinking.

At this time, Lu Tong saw, not far away, an old man with white hair and beard. He saw a piece of grass on the ground and dug it out.

Then, he brought water, washed the grass roots, and fed them to the child in his arms.

The child chewed the grass root, although it was difficult to swallow, but he ate it in big mouthfuls.

Lu Tong's eyes turned red immediately, and her heart felt sour. She really couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen in this world.

In the past, Wu Hai and the others set up pots and fires, and cooked a lot of food, but unfortunately there were too many victims here, and the food could not be distributed to everyone.

Therefore, the food they brought is just a drop in the bucket, and more food is needed to feed everyone.

Li Fu sighed, and said to Jia Ren: "Young Master Jia, don't blame me for being cruel. If you really want me to let your brother go, then you can exchange it with food."

Hearing this, Jia Ren wanted to refuse at that time, because he also knew that food is very precious now.

If he took out the Jia family's grain by himself, then the family's interests would be damaged, which was absolutely unacceptable.

However, Jia Ren didn't dare to refuse. If he refused now, Li Fu turned around and killed Jia Dan, then the matter would be serious.

After weighing for a long time, Jia Ren said, "Okay, how much food do you want?"

Anyway, this matter was originally Jia Dan's wrongdoing, even if he gave up some benefits, Jia Ren would admit it.

"One hundred thousand catties." Li Fu said.

Hearing this number, Jia Ren laughed back angrily, and said, "Mr. Li, do you have no idea about numbers? Do you know how much a hundred thousand catties of grain is?"

"You do this because you want to leave no way out for the Jia family at all."

Li Fu shrugged and said, "I'm not interested in knowing if your Jia family has a way out. I just want these victims to live."

"You!" Jia Ren pointed at Li Fu, who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, Li Fu, you are playing with fire, you will be retaliated by the Jia family, you just wait to die!"

Li Fu waved his hands and said, "Stop talking about useless things. Anyway, Jia Dan is tied there, and he will starve to death in a few days."

"If you want to save people, you can exchange them with [-] catties of grain. If you don't want to, then please go ahead."

"Hmph!" Jia Ren snorted coldly, and walked out.

Lu Tong hesitated for a moment, but didn't move, still standing where he was.

Li Fu was a little strange, so he asked Lu Tong, "Why didn't you leave?"

Lu Tong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Li Fu: "I want to see how you help them, maybe I can learn to do some things in the future."

Li Fu smiled and said, "You want to help them?"

"Yes." Lu Tong nodded firmly, "They are so pitiful, I want to help them."

Just as Li Fu was about to say something, he heard a commotion from below, as if something had happened.

This is also what Li Fu is very worried about, because there are too many people here, and it is easy to lose control.

"The officers and soldiers have killed people, the officers and soldiers have killed people!" Someone yelled, and there was an explosion immediately below.

Li Fu frowned, and quickly asked the guards around him to maintain order.

Everything below has become a mess. Fortunately, there are many soldiers on the scene, and they can be controlled so as not to make the scene more chaotic.

It didn't take long for the troublemakers to be separated.

When Wu Hai arrived at the scene, he found that several people had been restrained and tied up.

"What's going on?" Wu Hai shouted loudly.

When those people who were tied up saw Wu Hai coming, they shouted loudly: "Master, let us decide, the officers and soldiers are going to kill us!"

Wu Hai turned his head to look at those soldiers wearing standard armor, and said coldly: "What's going on, who told you to beat people?"

Those soldiers felt aggrieved, and said to Wu Hai: "General, we didn't intentionally beat people, but these troublesome people speak too badly."

"They insulted Old General Wu, so we couldn't help but attack them."

The Old General Wu mentioned by these soldiers was Wu Hai's deceased grandfather.

Most of the soldiers who follow Wu Hai now have followed Wu Hai's grandfather before, so they have a lot of affection for Old General Wu.

Just now, they overheard these disaster victims talking about Old General Wu, and then they heard them yelling at Old General Wu as a waste, and that's what happened next.

And Wu Hai was also very angry after listening to the soldier's narration.
