The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Child?" Shang Xi stuck her head out and looked outside. "There really is a child. Miss Zhong, let's get off the car and take a look."

Shang Xi kept flipping through the pages, and Zhong Siyu said, "Shang Xi, stop flipping. I've got some food."

Naturally, they have no shortage of food, as there are all kinds of preparations according to their tastes.

When the woman saw the food Zhong Siyu handed over, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, we can eat when we get home. We're not that hungry yet."

The child swallowed his saliva, stared at the food, and did not reach out for it.

Wan Lianxing said in a commanding tone: "Take it. Why should you endure it if you are hungry?"

The child shrank back, then whispered, "We'll be home soon."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Where is the village? Where is your village?"

The child said, "We can get home in two more hours. I'm not hungry, so it's just right for us to have dinner when we get home."

Wan Lianxing looked at the worn-out shoes on the feet of the three people. They were just for show. It was good enough that they could walk.

Seeing Wan Lianxing looking at their shoes, the woman wanted to hide her feet awkwardly, but there was nowhere to hide, so she had to take a small step back.

Wan Lianxing said, "If you don't wait until you get home, it will be dark. How can you guys continue on your journey when it's dark?"

The child said, "Don't be afraid. We have walked this road before and we are familiar with it. We won't get lost even if it gets dark."

Wan Lianxing said, "You remembered it after walking through it once?"

The child nodded.

Wan Lianxing said: "This child is sensible and his parents have taught him well."

The man said, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. It'll be dark when we get home."

Wan Lianxing said, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I'll take you a ride later... Let's go, let everyone get off and rest here."

The man looked at the woman, the woman looked at the man, and then looked at the child who had been walking for several days. The adults were so tired that they were shaking as they walked, let alone a child who had little dry food on him and whose stomach was empty.

The man said, "Then you can go to my house and drink some water later."

Wan Lianxing said: "Okay, but you guys should relax and eat something. I'm not a bad person. I don't rob people of money or the way of life."

Men and women think about it, they are penniless, what could anyone care about them?

Looking at the family of three sitting on the ground and starting to eat, Wan Lianxing finally smiled.

Wan Lianxing asked, "Where are you from?"

The man said, "We are coming back from Chaizhou."

Wan Lianxing opened his eyes wide and wondered how these people could have walked there and walked back like this?

The man saw what Wan Lianxing was thinking, "It's not far. It only took seven days to go back and forth, and we even spent money on a carriage."

Looking at the empty-handed family of three, Wan Lianxing asked, "What are you going to Chaizhou for?"

The man said, "My sister has moved to Chaizhou for two years. We are going there to get to know the place. If it's good there, we will move there too."

Wan Lianxing said: "They say it's hard to move away from one's hometown. Why do you want to move to such a far place?"

The man said, "We are too poor. If we don't move, we will starve. Many people from our village have already moved to Chaizhou. My sister's family is also from our village. She moved there two years ago."

Wan Lianxing asked, "How is your sister's family doing?"

The man shook his head, looking embarrassed: "It's very poor. I didn't take anything with me when I left. I haven't bought anything in Chaizhou in two years."

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he realized that they were all poor and destitute. "Then will you still go to them?"

The man said, "We have to go. If we don't go, we will have no chance to survive. Many people have moved away from our village and nearby villages recently, and the rest have to move."

Wan Lianxing said, "Fengying is a vast city with abundant resources, why should we move? Fengying has a small population to begin with." Wan Lianxing thought to himself, if everyone has left, what is there for him to govern?

The man said, "This is your first time in Fengying, right? You haven't even walked in yet. This place is so poor that even the mountains don't have grass."

Boss Qian, who was standing aside and listening to their small talk, had his eyes light up. "Is it Tushan?"

The man said, "There's no grass growing on it. Tell me if it's bald or not."

Boss Qian became even more interested, and even a little excited, "Is it black?"

The man shook his head and said, "White."

Shang Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Boss Qian couldn't help laughing too, "I thought it was a coal mine. It was a false alarm. It would be great if there was a coal mine here."

Wan Lianxing asked the man again: "Why are you all leaving in such a hurry? Your sister's family is not doing well, and it's not a good place for you to go to."

The man shook his head helplessly and said, "We have to move."

Wan Lianxing said: "You have land to farm and a house to live in here. No matter how poor you are, it is still your home. If you go to a foreign land, will your life be better with your wife and children?"

The man said, “We have to go.”

"Why can't we just leave?"

The woman's eyes were moist, and she choked up and said, "The money earned from farming is not enough to pay the ruffians."

Wan Lianxing said, "Where are the hooligans?"

The woman said, "Chaizhou is in chaos. There are robbers everywhere. They don't even spare poor people like us. They are really evil."

Boss Qian said, "Don't be afraid. The new governor will be here soon and will definitely punish these evil practices."

The man snorted and breathed out through his nose. The woman also lowered her head.

Boss Qian said, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have such expressions when you mention the new governor?"

The child looked up and saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them. He knew they were all good people, but he was still afraid.

Boss Qian said, "Kid, tell me why your parents sighed. I think you seem to be very sensible."

The child still had half a piece of dessert in his hand. He whispered, "It is because this senior official has come that we are running fast."

Wan Lianxing's face turned pale with anger. Boss Qian said, "The new governor is very popular among the people. Why do you want to leave?"

The child said, "You don't know, his people arrived before the governor's men arrived."

Boss Qian said: "We are the first to arrive. It is normal for some people to arrive first."

The child said, "More than 20 days ago, the new governor's men captured sixty or seventy women from somewhere."

Wan Lianxing said in a choked voice: "Is this true?"

Boss Qian said, "It's impossible. Wan Xinhou is famous for not being interested in women. There must be something hidden here."

The man said, "It can't be wrong. The story has spread. They are all young girls. Many people have seen them at the gate of the prefect's mansion. It can't be false."

The woman said, "In our village, all the families with daughters are thinking about moving, fearing that they will be abused by the new governor."

It only took a moment for Wan Lianxing's face to turn from pale to blue. He wanted to curse, but he didn't have the strength to open his mouth.

Shang Xi used the fan in her hand to fan Wan Lianxing who was sitting on the chair. Shang Xi said, "You don't understand. There must be something hidden here. It is true that Wan Xinhou is not interested in women. You really shouldn't believe the rumors. You are wronging Wan Xinhou."
