People who practice martial arts have a good foundation, and Huo Caiyu was able to barely move on the second day with Li Jinyu's support.

Li Jinyu's packed snacks played a role in helping Huo Caiyu replenish a lot of energy.

He stuffed all the snacks for Huo Caiyu, and gnawed the melon seeds by himself.

Huo Caiyu ate a few pieces, but seeing that His Majesty didn't eat any, his heart was full of sweet or astringent taste, so he gave a piece to Li Jinyu: "Your Majesty, eat it too."

Li Jinyu bit a melon seed, tilted his head slightly, a little strange: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."

After all, he is also a spirited monster. It is completely fine to not eat for a day or two, and eating melon seeds is enough to satisfy all his needs for food.

Huo Caiyu's eyes were complicated, looking at the dust on His Majesty's face and his waist and abdomen that seemed to have lost weight, he pursed his lips and put the remaining pieces of pastries back up again.

"are you full?"

"Well, let's go, first go to the nearby post station or town to have a look."

At least buy some food for his majesty.

The two walked slowly for two hours, surrounded by wilderness.

Li Jinyu wasn't tired at all, but seeing Huo Caiyu's pale face, he couldn't help but want to pick him up and run away.

But that would completely expose his identity...

Li Jinyu even considered whether to knock Huo Caiyu unconscious and take him away, but he didn't dare.

It took a long time before I saw people looming in front of me.

Bypassing a forest, a small village appeared in their eyes.

The population of this village is not large, and there are only seven or eight households; every household has thatched roofs and fences with dead branches, and only a few Susukada fields can be seen from a distance around them.

It doesn't look very rich.

But for Li Jinyu and the others, it would be good if someone could inquire about the location, so they hurried into the village.

It seemed that there were very few strangers in Xiaocun. When he saw two young men approaching and Huo Caiyu had a lot of blood on his body, he became a little vigilant. A peasant woman even pulled a child playing at the door of her house into the house.

Huo Caiyu noticed that the child had a yellow and thin face, only his eyes were rolling darkly, looking curiously at someone he had never seen before.

Huo Caiyu strenuously walked towards an old man who was sitting at the door basking in the sun, and asked politely: "Old man, the two of us encountered bandits on the way, and lost our way after fleeing in a hurry. What county does this place belong to?"

The old man had gray beard and hair, was also yellow and thin, and his clothes were in tatters. Hearing this, he slightly raised his head and looked at Huo Caiyu and Li Jinyu. He was taken aback by the dried blood on Huo Caiyu's body. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "This is Qingshui County Dragon An County."

Qingshui County?

Huo Caiyu was slightly surprised, they came directly to Qingshui County?

Thanking him politely, Huo Caiyu coughed twice, wondering if he could buy some food from this village - just looking at the poverty in the village, I'm afraid that there is not enough food for his own family, so maybe he will give it to outsiders like them...

Before he could figure out what to do, Li Jinyu had already opened his mouth: "This...Old man, look at Huo, Brother Huo's injuries are still not healed, can you give us a place to rest?"

The old man showed hesitation, and wanted to refuse, but when he lowered his head, he met Li Jinyu's bright eyes, and the words of refusal froze in his mouth.

Then he thought about the bareness of his house, and there was nothing to covet. Seeing that the tall young man was pale and blood-stained, he was really scary, so the old man nodded and said: "If you don't dislike the poverty of my old man's family, you can rest in my house first." Bar."

"Don't dislike it!" Li Jinyu patted Huo Caiyu's arm happily, "Let's go, let's rest first!"

Only then did Huo Caiyu recover from what Li Jinyu called him just now, and before he had time to say anything, he was happily dragged into the room by Li Jinyu.

The old man introduced himself as surnamed Zhang, his wife died young, and he only lived with a seven or eight-year-old grandson. The house was really barren, and there was only a hay bed for Huo Caiyu to lie down on.

I don't know where my children have gone.

Huo Caiyu reluctantly walked for most of the day, his body was a little overwhelmed, and he had to enter the state of cultivation and healing after lying down for a long time.

Li Jinyu helped Huo Caiyu to lie down, watched Huo Caiyu start to heal his wounds, and wanted to eat some melon seeds when he had nothing to do.However, he took a look from his pocket and found that the melon seeds he had packed before had bottomed out.

"Old man, do you have melon seeds here?"

"what?"

"Melon seeds, that's all." Li Jinyu took out the few remaining melon seeds for example.

The old man Zhang understood, and shook his head: "We are in a poor place, and we can't even get enough to eat. Where did these good things come from?"

Li Jinyu put the melon seeds back into his pocket regretfully, and was thinking whether he should go out for a run or find a piece of wood to chew on, when he heard the old man Zhang say: "Little brother, are you hungry, old man, I still have some old rice here. If you don’t mind, I can make some porridge for you.”

Have rice to eat?

Li Jinyu touched his stomach, his eyes lit up: "Hungry!"

It's just that this porridge is completely different from the soft and glutinous porridge that Li Jinyu ate in the palace. The surface of the porridge is so bright that you can look in the mirror. When you scoop it with a spoon, you can hardly see a few rice, and it also exudes an old musty smell.

The ones in the slop bucket in the palace are better than this.

Li Jinyu was startled, subconsciously raised his head, and just about to ask a question, he saw old man Zhang's little grandson hiding behind him, staring straight at this bowl of porridge that even the most inferior courtiers in the palace would only throw away. Swallow.

The old man Zhang thought that Li Jinyu didn't like this bowl of porridge, and his wrinkled face showed a slight embarrassment: "Don't be disgusted, there is nothing better at home."

Li Jinyu lowered his head in silence, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Sure enough, it was as bland and boring as he expected, and even had a bit of earthy and musty smell.

But it wasn't that hard to swallow.

In the original book, the description of the common people during the reign of Emperor Jingchang as "people living in dire straits" was just a simple adjective in the eyes of Li Jinyu;

But this bowl of clear porridge made those descriptions that only existed in words clearly displayed in front of Li Jinyu.

After taking two sips, Li Jinyu put down the bowl, thought for a while, and called Old Man Zhang's little grandson over.

There were still a few pieces of snacks left on the road, so he took out a piece and stuffed it into the child's hand.

The little guy looked at his grandfather timidly, seeing that his grandfather had no objection, he took a small bite carefully, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth was full of sweetness and fragrance, and his teeth and cheeks were fragrant.

Never had anything so delicious!

He took a bite and was reluctant to eat any more. He ran back to old man Zhang and carefully handed it to his grandfather: "Grandpa eats too."

Old man Zhang's Adam's apple twitched, and he shook his hand: "Grandpa doesn't like sweets."

Li Jinyu's eyes were a little sour, and he quickly took out the remaining snacks: "Let's eat together, I still have some here, just treat it as a reward for staying here with you."

Old man Zhang hesitated for a moment, seeing Li Jinyu's firm attitude, he accepted the few pieces of dim sum. He put it in his palm and looked at it carefully, as if he was a little embarrassed: "I'm kidding my little brother, my old man has never eaten this at such an old age." Plant something good."

The little grandson ate half of his piece, trying to stop himself from talking.

"what happened?"

"I want to leave it to Brother Qian to taste it." The little guy rubbed his nose and whispered, "Brother Qian picked fruit for me to eat."

Seeing the grandpa and grandson sipping on the dried-up pastry, Li Jinyu felt a little panicked for no reason.

When he was in the palace, there were so many ordinary people who couldn't get enough to eat and had never seen melon seeds.

Emerald and agate are used to pave the road in the palace, and endless delicacies are poured out at will.When looking up at the square sky surrounded by palace walls in the palace, how can you imagine what is going on under the wider sky outside?

Li Jinyu couldn't help but cast his eyes on Huo Caiyu who was sleeping on the bed.

Perhaps it was because of a serious injury, although Huo Caiyu still lingered with the Ziwei imperial aura, the oppressive feeling on Li Jinyu was undetectable.

Huo Caiyu's face was slightly pale due to blood loss, and he closed his eyes tightly to heal his injuries.

Li Jinyu stared at Huo Caiyu's face, his eyes slightly confused.

In the original book, Huo Caiyu also lived among the people after leaving the capital.

At that time, he was full of resentment and extreme hatred for Emperor Jingchang who ruined his family, and he was thinking about how to take revenge; but after skipping a section of the plot, Huo Caiyu, who raised an uprising team, had become extremely calm, although he still had He hates, but puts his personal hatred behind his family, country and world.

Li Jinyu didn't see the plot of Huo Caiyu living among the people, and he never quite understood the change of Huo Caiyu's character.

But now, Li Jinyu understood a little bit.

——He was full of enthusiasm and stepped forward to stop Emperor Jingchang's dragon chariot and denounced the government. Later, he was completely disappointed with the court, and he raised the flag and rebuilt a truly prosperous land. Is it because he couldn't bear to see these people suffer from hunger and cold?

Li Jinyu walked to the side of the hay bed where Huo Caiyu was lying, looked down at Huo Caiyu's handsome face, boldly reached out and poked Huo Caiyu's face, then touched the bridge of Huo Caiyu's nose, and finally put his hand on Huo Caiyu's chest.

With flesh and blood, it seems to be no different from ordinary humans.

It's just that the heartbeat seems to be a little fast.Is it a special case of healing?

Li Jinyu exhaled lightly, patted his face, stopped thinking, let himself relax, turned his head and went out.
