I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away
Chapter 491 Refugees
"What's going on?" He walked outside.
The servants told Liu Yueru what they had seen one by one: "There were many skinny people outside, with tattered clothes and unkempt hair, kneeling at the gate of Liu's house."
Liu Yueru frowned slightly and quickened her pace.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a crowd of people kneeling on the ground outside. Most of them were women. Some of them were holding children in their hands, and some of the children were still babies in swaddling clothes. They were crying with hunger because they were not full.
The shoes they wore were all in tatters.
He was so hungry that his body was skin and bones, and he looked shaky.
When everyone saw Liu Yueru, they all knelt down in front of her and shouted, "I've heard that Madam Liu is well-known for her kindness. Please be kind and give me something to eat."
Liu Yueru looked at those people and told Mother Yan beside her, "Cook more porridge and share it with everyone."
After hearing what Liu Yueru said, the refugees all kowtowed to her and expressed their gratitude. “Thank you, living Bodhisattva. Thank you.”
The child next to him continued to cry, and no matter how the mother tried to comfort him, it was of no use.
Finally, he had no choice but to bite his index finger and put the bloody index finger to the child's lips.
The child sucked quickly and stopped crying.
Liu Yueru walked up to the child's mother.
The other party thought that it was the child's crying that made the noble unhappy.
She knelt down in front of Liu Yueru and kowtowed heavily, saying, "Miss, I have coaxed the child and will not disturb us. Please do us a favor and don't drive us away. My husband has already fed his blood to the child in order to keep us alive. Even our eldest son did not survive. This is the only child my husband and I have. We cannot let his family be without an heir."
The woman began to sob as she spoke.
But she didn't dare cry too loudly. She lowered her voice and carefully observed Liu Yueru's expression.
Liu Yueru took the goat milk from the servant and handed it to the woman. "Feeding the child with your blood is not a long-term solution. Give the child some of this."
The woman was slightly stunned, and then she took the bottle of goat milk from Liu Yueru with trembling hands. "Are you really giving this to me?"
The woman asked Liu Yueru uncertainly.
"Give it to the child quickly." Liu Yueru said with some sadness.
The woman put the child aside, kowtowed heavily to Liu Yueru, and then fed the child in her arms with goat milk.
Liu Yueru looked at the refugees who were swallowing their saliva and said loudly, "Don't worry, I have asked someone to make porridge. Everyone will be able to eat later."
The people in Liu Mansion started to get busy. A large number of refugees poured into Kyoto City, which caused the already food shortage in Kyoto.
Now it’s even worse.
Liu Yueru asked the servants to spread a clean mat on the ground; "Everyone, take a rest here for a while."
Then she sat down next to an elderly man and asked gently, "Grandma, where are you from? What happened? Why are so many people coming to Kyoto?"
The old lady looked at Liu Yueru with red eyes. She was the wife of the village chief of Xiangya Village. She watched the people around her starve to death one by one and she sighed softly.
"We are all from Xiangya Village. Half a year ago, a group of people came into the village and robbed all the food in our village. We were looking forward to the next harvest, but who would have thought that before the harvest, there was a locust plague. The remaining food in the village has been eaten up. We collected some money and wanted to buy some food from the surrounding villages to tide over this difficult time."
"But when I visited several surrounding villages, they all said they had encountered the same situation. All the remaining food they had had been snatched away, leaving them with nothing to harvest."
"At first, people could go up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and hunt to fill their stomachs, but as time went on, all the wild vegetables on the mountains were dug up, and the prey in the nearby villages was also slaughtered."
"Everyone often fought over food, and the situation became chaotic. Most of the men in the village starved to death, and those who didn't starve to death are now at the end of their strength."
"They gave the food they got to their children and women, and they themselves ate the dirt in exchange for their children."
The old man suddenly burst into tears when he said this.
Eating one's own children!
Liu Yueru was horrified when she heard this.
She looked at the crowd and saw that the men all had bulging bellies, but no meat on their bodies. She guessed that their bellies were full of what the old lady called dirt.
"Grandma, are these all the people from your Ivory Village?" Liu Yueru asked doubtfully.
The old woman shook her head weakly. "How can there be so many people? They are all dead. These are the people left from the three surrounding villages. There are only a few hundred people left. First a group was beaten to death, then some starved to death in the village, and finally some starved to death on the way here. Now there are only so many left. No one has the energy to care about the lives of others, and no one knows how many people are left in each village."
"Husband, wake up..." While the two were talking, a woman's cry suddenly came from the crowd.
Liu Yueru stood up and looked in the direction of the man, only to see a skinny man lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in unwillingness.
Liu Yueru instructed the servant to call the palace doctor.
After examining her, the court doctor shook his head and said, "The lady has passed away."
The woman hugged the man's body and burst into tears. "My husband, didn't you say you would accompany me to Kyoto to have a bowl of hot porridge? The kind lady has already asked someone to cook it, and we will be able to have a bowl of hot porridge soon. How can you leave me now?"
At this time, the servants were already carrying pots of porridge outside.
The woman looked at the situation in front of her and exclaimed.
Crying harder.
The subordinate kept shaking the man's body; "Husband, please wake up, the porridge is here, we have all been saved, please wake up, if you leave, what will happen to me and the child in the future?"
The woman raised her hand and touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen.
Only then did Liu Yueru notice that the woman was pregnant.
Most of the servants in the Liu Mansion came out and began to maintain order at the scene, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to receive porridge.
Liu Yueru took a bowl of porridge from the servant and went to the woman. "Please accept my condolences. Take care of your unborn baby first."
The woman looked at Liu Yueru with tearful eyes, and said with a painful expression, "No, thank you, young lady."
As she spoke, she pushed the porridge in front of her back to Liu Yueru. "My husband and children are gone. Now I am the only one left. I don't want to live in disgrace."
The words fell.
The woman stood up and slammed into the corner of the wall...
