As a result, everyone's eyes were on him, including Ying Ze naturally.

Chen Yun shuddered instantly, leaned over to pick up the pancakes that fell on the ground, wiped off the snow flakes with his sleeves, and hurriedly said while stepping back:

"You keep talking! Keep talking! I...I'll go see how Xiaohua is doing, yes, Xiaohua, I..."

While he was stepping back, looking for an excuse to leave in panic, the next moment, his back hit the cold and hard handle of a guard.

In an instant, Chen Yun's mind was completely cleared, and he froze in place, holding the snow-stained pancake in his hand, in a dilemma.

At this moment, Lou Rongrong, who was sitting by the fire, finally opened his mouth and relieved him:

"Master Chen, don't rush to leave. I invited you here because you came two days earlier than us. I think you know more about the disaster situation in this place than we do. Master Chen..."

She turned her head and glanced lightly at the soldier blocking Chen Yun's path with the scabbard. The latter understood, immediately retracted the scabbard, and returned to its original position.

Lou Rongfang looked at Chen Yun and continued:

"Master Chen, don't you have anything to tell us?"

Through a layer of clothing, Chen Yun felt that the cold and hard object on his waist was finally retracted, and he moved tentatively to confirm that his life was indeed not in danger. The whole person just relaxed like the rest of his life after a catastrophe. .

Probably still a little unbelievable, Chen Yun looked at Lou Rongrong, swallowed unconsciously, and still saw Lou Rongrong sitting next to him, devouring the roast lamb, and didn't even bother to pay attention to what the adults around him were saying When it was a small fruit, his rationality came back to him suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, took out a thin booklet from his chest, handed it to Lou Rongrong and said:

"This is... after I came to Ji County, the general disaster situation of the people according to the statistics..."

As for why it is roughly, not exactly... Lou Rongrong and Ying Ze have already understood it now, and have not raised any doubts

Lou Rongrong took it and handed it to Ying Ze without opening it.

Chen Yun glanced at Ying Ze quickly, then looked away in an instant, looked down at the ground, and explained:

"Although Ji County is near the capital, it was originally because there were too many people in the capital and the city could not accommodate so many people, so gradually many people settled not far from the capital, within a day's normal walking distance from the capital. , forming several settlements, Ji County is one of them, and it is also the most severely affected area this time."

"It is said to be a county, but in fact Ji County is smaller than the real county, with a population of only [-], and there is no large market for trading. , which is why Ji County was so caught off guard and unable to cope with this disaster."

Ying Ze flipped through the blue notebook he had written in charcoal, frowning, with a focused look on his face, noncommittal to what he said, while Lou Rongrong looked up at him, as if waiting for him to continue talking.

Perhaps because he didn't encounter ridicule and blows as usual, Chen Yun actually had the illusion of being recognized, licked his dry lips, and continued:

"After I came, I found that Ji County was divided into three areas by the official government office. The south of the city should be the place where the most people live, and it is closest to the direction of the capital, so everyone is more inclined to settle there, but because Ji County It has been formed for a long time, and the houses there were the first to be built and also the oldest, so they were also the most severely collapsed and damaged in the snow disaster, and many people were injured as a result.”

"The east of the city is next, and there are not many people living in the west and north of the city. However, many people who raise cattle and sheep live in the west of the city. Because of the snowstorm, the loss of cattle and sheep is miserable. If there is no relief from the court, I am afraid that even if they survive the snowstorm, it will be difficult. live."

"Because during the first lunar month, except for the poor families, most people had a certain amount of charcoal and rice in their homes at the beginning, but after the heavy snow blocked the roads, the people could not get supplies from the capital. After the sixth day of the first lunar month At that time, the fuel charcoal in the people's homes was almost exhausted, the houses collapsed, and they could not be repaired in the snowstorm, and the people could only rely on clothes and bedding to keep out the cold."

"After I came, I heard people say that someone tried to enter Beijing when the snowstorm was the worst two days ago, but then they lost the news and haven't come back yet."

Speaking of this, Chen Yun's eyes were obviously dimmed, and he clearly knew that in such a heavy snow, even he came here with a car and horses after the snow was slightly smaller two days ago, and he came to Beijing alone. He hasn't come back yet, and the hope of being alive is probably slim.

Ying Ze flipped through the notebook, and suddenly asked:

"You marked a circle here in the north of the city. What does it mean?"

Chen Yun hurriedly said:

"Because the northern part of the city is farthest from the capital, there are very few basic people. It should be said that most of the people living there are idlers, drunkards and gamblers, as well as a few lunatics and skinny monks. The houses are also sparse, because There is no intersection with people in other places, so basically no one checks their situation after the disaster.”

"When I came here, I went to the north of the city to have a look, and found that inside those collapsed houses, most of them were frozen to death, or they might have passed out first and then starved to death. But yesterday morning, I found I went around the city, and I accidentally found two people walking around in the north of the city. They didn’t look like the people here. I asked them how they survived the snowstorm, but they were vague, and they hurriedly found an excuse to leave. I went around to the north of the city, but there was no one there."

This is not a major event, it may be that when Chen Yun came here for the first time, he was not familiar with the terrain and missed the two of them. The two of them may be physically strong and survived. Today, no one can be found, or they may have gone to other places , but Chen Yun always felt a little inexplicable, so he ticked a circle, which was quite conspicuous on the sparse images in the north of the city.

Chen Yun just felt baffled, but Lou Rongrong and the others immediately got in touch with another matter: the two people who poisoned the mutton soup restaurant did it in the evening of yesterday, and Chen Yun couldn't find them today, would it be possible? Could it be because these two people wanted to carry out their plan, and after their failure, they didn't dare to go back to Ji County, so they went all the way back to Beijing?

Lou Rongrong thought for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Master Chen, are you sure that the people in the north of the city were all frozen to death?"

Chen Yun looked at her in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to admit it, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.

After such a big snowstorm, when he saw the corpse in the collapsed house, he naturally subconsciously thought that the other person had been frozen to death, which was perfectly normal logic.

But if someone with a heart kills these people and discards the corpse casually, if there are no obvious superficial wounds, and ordinary people don't have the sense of inquiry like an operation, they will only think that the dead were frozen to death, right?
