The Xuanmen ancestors were mind-read, and the whole family became addicted to becoming villains

Xiao Yi smiled and looked at Li Jidao and waved: "Wait for me!"

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and said to Feng Ying: "I will send a few people to send my mother-in-law back. I have to help Aye with things, so I can't send you back in person."

Feng Ying accepted it without hearing her daughter's voice.

"Thank you."

…………

"Brother Tianyang, that's our home." On the slope, a fat little black man saw his hometown and his eyes filled with tears.

A scarred face next to him looked at the calm river from a distance, his eyes deep and gloomy.

I don’t want to wait anymore, I don’t know how long I have to wait.

Not only the dead villagers couldn't afford to wait, but she couldn't afford to wait, right?

But, how can he overcome this difficulty?

Little Fatty Hei wiped his tears and said, "Brother Tianyang, why don't we also collect food? There must be some in the big villages nearby."

"Then what's the difference between us and them?" Scarface's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Fatty Black very sharply.

He said: "We have endured hardships, shed blood, and cried out injustices, and we must never allow others to be the same as us."

"Also, don't call me by my name. If I'm exposed, everyone will be in danger."

"Yes, General!" The fat black man said with a sad look on his face: "But there is no need to force it. Where are we going to prepare military pay and food? They are still waiting for us to make meritorious deeds and go back to seek justice."

Yes, they must make meritorious deeds, and then have capital, and then ask that person to ask for justice for all the villagers in their village.

Military pay, food and grass...

Scarface looked ahead and narrowed his eyes.

…………

The Li family lives not far outside the city. It's not the main street, but a large area of ​​Zhuangzi in the northwest. That's the Li family's territory.

So Xiao Yi only left four people for Feng Ying.

With the addition of Feng Ying's own people, Feng Ying felt much more at ease.

But the further you go, the less crowded you become.

When passing by the Changshui River, there were many houses on both sides of the river bank, but the houses looked like they were about to collapse and no one was maintaining them, and no one was seen.

Feng Ying was really curious. She had never gone out in a bullock cart before.

He asked A Liu: "I remember there should be a lot of people here, but why didn't I see anyone?"

"Here!" A Liu had wandered in both Chang'an City and Luoyang City before, and was very familiar with the environment in both places.

She said: "Madam, this is called Xilin Village. There is a river in their village, called Xilin River. There is a kind of fish in Xilin River, called Xilin Fish, which is very delicious. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, but the upper reaches of the river It’s blocked, and there aren’t many fish here. I was lucky enough to eat two when I was very young.”

"The scales of the fish are extremely delicate, and the fish body is slender. The scales glow golden when illuminated by the light, and are very beautiful. The meat is also really tender and delicious, tenderer than crucian carp with a natural sweetness, and no fishy smell at all. There are no thorns yet, even without any condiments, it is still delicious. It is really delicious, but it is a pity."

People here don't eat fish very much, because most fish have an earthy and fishy smell.

Feng Ying seemed to have heard of this kind of fish: "Isn't this a tribute?"

So she never ate it.

Feng Yingdao: "When you said that, I seem to remember that 12 years ago we could eat this kind of fish there, and it seemed that there was also in the river. Suddenly one day, our family could no longer eat fish."

Feng Ying was pregnant with her third child for just over two months at the time. She was raising her baby peacefully and did not ask about outside matters.

She vaguely remembered that something happened in the palace because of the fish. The current Emperor Wansheng, Qin and Wang Qingjun, kept the throne. The old emperor, thinking of his son's filial piety, passed the position to Emperor Wansheng and dismissed those who had done nothing. Prince.

"I remembered it, I remembered it, it's like this."

"Prince Jing rebelled and captured the old emperor and the prince. At that time, Long Live brought a group of tributes to the capital. After hearing about this, he broke through the city gate with the military officers and soldiers escorting the tributes and rescued the old emperor and the prince."

Yes, that's the reason.

It is said that the most common tribute brought by Emperor Wan Sheng at that time was fish.

Xiao Jingze, the general who discovered the tribute fish at that time, now controls Zhongshu Province and is one of the emperor's most trusted people.

He has become a very respected minister.

A Liu reminded Feng: "Madam, please lower your voice. You are talking about royal affairs. Now Prince Jing is also a taboo in the palace. You should be careful about the trouble coming from your mouth."

Emperor Wansheng was merciful and did not kill Prince Jing and the prince. The prince was an idle prince. Prince Jing was imprisoned in the North Garden of the palace because of his guilt. He was quite lustful, so the emperor often rewarded him with several women.

This shows the emperor's benevolence and righteousness.

Feng clapped her mouth. She was getting more and more arrogant now. She didn't know who she learned from.

"No, aren't we talking about why there are so few people in this village?" Feng Ying looked at A Liu and asked.

A Liu: "..."

"I don't know. I'm just a wanderer. I just need to be fed and not hungry. I don't care about other slaves."

[There has been a flood here. ] Li Jidao sat up, frowned slightly as he looked at the 'scars' left by the water.

The houses here have been damaged to varying degrees, and the places with bluestone slabs on both sides of the river are covered with a type of moss that only grows underwater.

It means this place was flooded.

Li Jidao slowly stood up and looked upstream of the river bed. There was a gate over there that could be controlled.

[There has been artificial flooding here. 】Li Jidao is sure.

"Ah, Jian, please sit down quickly, don't fall." Feng Ying asked the carriage to slow down and helped her daughter sit down.

Then he recalled with a smile: "Was it the year when it rained the most? That year I just had you, and the spring floods started unexpectedly. That year we all suffered disasters in Zhuangzi."

She also took a sum of money to supplement her family's expenses. From that time on, her dowry didn't have much money anymore.

It's really nerve-wracking.

Feng Ying patted her thigh again: "I remembered. There was a girl named Qiuran in our yard. She was seven years old at the time. She seemed to be from here. She said that everyone in their village had died, and she was the only one left. There was no place to go, so I took her in.”

A Liu:?

What the hell is the lady talking about? She doesn't understand at all.

The lady must be talking to herself.

"Madam!" Ah Liu took over and said, "Let's leave quickly. There are still people here. When I was a child, I followed those beggars here. Guess what?"

Feng Ying also asked: "What's wrong?"

"Hey, we were originally here to beg for food, right? Unexpectedly, half of the food we escaped from other places was robbed by the people here."

"They are all half-grown children. It seems that there are no adults left. It is very dangerous here."

"But Qiuran said they were all dead." Feng Ying murmured.

A Liu shook his head: "She herself is a survivor. Maybe there are other survivors. She doesn't know. There must be some. There are about ten of them. They are so cruel. They say that their brother has become an official and sooner or later he will be a survivor." If we don't give it to those who come back, their brothers will kill us when the time comes."
