Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Huanxi didn't know that Xu Huaiyi had helped her gain a good impression in front of the villagers. After setting off on the road in the afternoon, she lay down to sleep. The daughter on the left, the son on the right, the 1.8-meter big bed was covered with a thick mattress, and they didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Because the official road we are walking on is not that bumpy, and it shakes a little, it has the same effect as a cradle, and it is not very comfortable.

She didn't wake up until she reached Qingzhou City. She stretched out comfortably, opened the small window and glanced outside. The lazy expression on her face gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable solemnity and unspeakable sadness. .

In her previous life, she had been to the ancient city of Qingzhou. What she saw at that time was the prosperity full of commercial atmosphere, the bustle of crowded people, and the tourists who came from far away were busy taking photos and checking in. She regretted that the ancient city wall was still there, but the flavor of history was missing. .

At this moment, the smell of history hit her face, but she couldn't avoid it.

At this time, the Qingzhou City Wall had not yet experienced the erosion of years and the ravages of war. It was tall and majestic and magnificent. However, not far in front of the city gate, it seemed like a different world, like a colorful painting that suddenly changed. It became a black and white lens, and as far as the eye could see, it was dim and lifeless.

This sense of impact was so strong that even though Gu Huanxi boasted that he had developed a hardened heart, he still felt uncontrollably sad and uncomfortable when faced with it.

Tens of thousands of refugees, exhausted, lying or sitting, ragged and skinny, seeming to be holding on for only one breath. The despair and numbness on their faces can even make people shudder.

This is not a shot in a movie, and they are not extras. This is a living hell on earth.

On the road, there was no bare ground for thousands of miles, and there was no starvation everywhere, so I thought it was lucky, until now.

Even if Gu Huanxi is like this, you can even imagine how violent the waves are in the hearts of others, and the little bit of luck and hope that is left is not left.

Some couldn't bear to watch and lowered their heads and sobbed softly, some were pale and frightened, some were stumbling and frightened, and some collapsed and cried. All kinds of situations in the world were staged one by one.

Xu Huaiyi's goal was achieved.

But he would rather not achieve his wish. Such a reference is really a nightmare.

On the road again, the team was much quieter. Most people were silent. Occasionally, they talked quietly, sharing their inner uneasiness and seeking comfort from their companions.

In the car, Gu Huanxi asked, "Xiaoyu, how do you feel after reading this?"

Gu Xiaoyu sat stiffly and pursed his lips after hearing the words. His face was still a little pale, but his eyes were overflowing with guilt and embarrassment, "My heart is blocked..."

Gu Huanxi touched his head and said, "I took a long breath to cover my tears. I lamented the hardships of the people's livelihood. The ancients probably wrote this after seeing such a tragic situation. Now, you still think that this is just a natural disaster and the last resort of the court." ?"

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head, was silent for a moment, and asked seriously, "Mom, do you have any good countermeasures?"

Gu Huanxi thought carefully and said, "The specific measures will depend on the specific situation. It's really hard for me to tell you more, lest you become dogmatic in the future. However, in my opinion, at least you can't treat refugees like dogs." Treat them, right? Hang them with a bowl of porridge, keep them in captivity, and prevent them from causing trouble. However, this treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Moreover, for the refugees, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench their thirst. It won’t take long for their energy and energy to disappear. They are all ruined, and when the government and the wealthy households in the city can no longer provide food to feed them, they will have no choice but to drive them away by force and leave them to fend for themselves..."

Gu Xiaoyu listened thoughtfully, the expression on his face was serious and not at all like a five-year-old child.

Gu Huanxi looked at him and continued meaningfully, "Do you think the government and wealthy people are doing this to show mercy to the refugees, or are they pushing them into a bigger fire pit?"

Gu Xiaoyu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but tighten his cuffs, "Could it be that they are planning to... slowly use up the lives of these refugees without losing any blood?"

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "They may not be so ruthless, but they must be left to fend for themselves. Otherwise, the government should have come up with feasible and effective disaster relief measures. Even if the court does not allocate relief food, the local government will Does the Yamen really have no emergency preparedness? If it is properly arranged and the whole city can be mobilized, not to mention the refugees at the door, even we may not have to leave our homes and careers to flee."

Drought does exist objectively, but she always feels that it is not the main reason for the current situation. Man-made disasters should also account for a considerable part.

Could it be that only thirty years after the founding of the country, the palace was already in chaos?

Thousands of miles apart, with little information, she couldn't guess what the royal family and civil and military ministers were busy doing, and why they seemed to be blind and turned a blind eye to the disaster in more than a dozen states in the Central Plains, but now she saw After arriving at the chaos in Qingzhou, I couldn't help but start to worry. When I arrived in the capital, there were so many dignitaries at the feet of the emperor. If the people in the court were unreliable and the emperor was confused, what should their family do?

You can't just live in this life forever.

Compared with her deep thoughts and myriad worries, Xu Huaiyi's mind is much simpler and pure. Why should he think about things that haven't happened yet? Taking good care of things right now is the right thing to do. He has always believed that God has a perfect path, and if he really reaches a desperate situation, he can just do it.

No matter how hard you think about it, it’s better to give it a try.

Therefore, in the team at this moment, he was uniquely calm and composed, and even raised his whip with a hint of joy and ease.

Xu Changsong was greatly stimulated by what he saw. He couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "Huaiyi, why aren't you worried or afraid?"

Look at this guy, I don’t want to say any uncomfortable words, just tell him how he did it, he is so curious and wants to learn, so he won’t be upset, it’s like he kicked a rabbit, he is restless after all the tossing. .

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him, "A real man is fearless."

Xu Changsong, "..."

If he wanted to slap himself twice, he shouldn't have asked.

After a while, Village Chief Xu came to him again, with a heavy look on his face, "Huaiyi, there are refugees following us, only seven or eight meters away. Even after Lao Gao threatened them, they refused to leave."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi immediately thought of the darkness outside Qingzhou City, "They followed from the gate of Qingzhou City, right? Are there many people? Do they have any belongings?"

Village Chief Xu said, "Looking like that, it does look like the refugees who were waiting to receive porridge at the gate of Qingzhou City before. They were so rough that they didn't even look at them. The number was not small, more than thirty, and there were two carts with two carts on them. There are people lying around, bedding, pots and pans, etc. As for the food? I didn’t see it, maybe they were carrying it on their backs.”

Xu Huaiyi muttered, "It seems that these people have realized that there will be no good outcome if they stay in Qingzhou any longer, so they plan to follow our team..."

Village Chief Xu frowned, "Are you trying to use our power to protect them?"

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "Follow if you want. Anyway, this official road is not ours. If we can leave, of course they can leave too. If something happens to us, maybe we can take advantage of them." Well, I just need to tell you guys not to talk randomly and show kindness. How can there be thirty or so of them threatening us?"

Village Chief Xu thought about it, that's right. More than half of their Xujiacun came out this time. Come on, come on, come on, there are two to three hundred people. Excluding women and children, seventy or eighty are enough, unless you encounter bandits. Bandits, otherwise there is really nothing to be afraid of.
