Early the next morning, the two set off in plain clothes.

The entourage was only followed by some bodyguards and shadow guards who secretly protected them.

The luggage can also be carried lightly, with only a change of clothes, necessary medicinal materials, and customs clearance documents.

The cold wind blows leaves on the road.

There is already a faint trend of winter.

The carriage they were riding in looked simple and restrained on the outside, and the decoration inside was also dressed up like ordinary rich kids.

They did not stop along the way, and walked for three days and three nights before arriving near Luonan.

Be prepared to learn more about the people along the way.

Withered branches and fallen leaves in autumn, dry branches are good fire materials.

Shi Xi looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the side of the road, not everyone was full of vigor, but there was still a kind of dull life.

Many people are ragged, and there are many pedestrians covered with patches on the road.

He was only wearing a coarse cloth shirt with sleeves to forearm and trousers to calf, and he carried a bundle of timber thicker than others on his shoulders.

They want to send the dead trees from the mountain or the forest near the village to the city, and sell them to rich and noble families to subsidize their living.

I can only walk on my feet, and sometimes it takes a day or two to go back and forth.

On the arm that hugged the wood tightly, the muscles were outlined in a bulging arc by the coarse cloth.

Shi? Delicate and frail? Xi looked at the arm enviously, and then patted his own little arm.

He coughed twice as in the persona, and there was a kind of sickness on the brows.

He sighed helplessly.

Can't compare...

Then he put down the curtain, straightened his thoughts and said, "The lives of the people here seem to be passable, but..."

"After one more city, we will arrive at Luonan. I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."

The faces of the people here are flat, and upon closer inspection, they are closer to numbness. They have lived in such a hopeless life for too long, and they will give birth to such a state.

Feng Jue pulled Shi Xi's hand over, and said soothingly, "Natural disasters are beyond our control, don't be too sad."

Shi Qi retracted his hand into Feng Jue's warm palm.

At first, I didn't understand what the other party meant by saying this.

Suddenly remembered that he just sighed.

Feng Jue was afraid that he would take that as his emotional and unbearable sadness.

Although the sigh is purely because of other people's figure, he does have a kind of intolerance and sympathy for such a life.

"Natural disasters can be avoided, but man-made disasters can be avoided. I believe we can manage Luonan well. Although I feel sad in my heart, it is more about fighting spirit."

Saying that, Shi Qi turned his head away again.

In the next second, Shi Qi's eyes were covered, "Don't look at it when you're sad, it's cold outside, don't stick your head out to look, it's easy to catch cold..."

No, he just wanted to take another look at other people's tendons!

As Feng Jue said, she closed the big cloak Shiqi was wearing.

I thought in my heart: Shi Xi must be very sad, seeing him looking out of the window is full of pity and tenderness.

Wishing that he was that wood picker, his Shi Qi was really an extremely gentle person.

Shi Qi glanced at Feng Jue quietly.

I understood the meaning in his eyes.

Closed his mouth shut.

Feng Jue is also in excellent shape, if he is not worthy, it is better to shut up.

Only he and no one can understand his sorrow?_?;

Shi Qi was wrapped in a big cloak, and the fluff on the neckline lined his porcelain-white cheeks, looking like he was wilted by the rain.

-

Luonan is an area that includes three cities.

Luoshui City, Luojin City, and Luoxi City, as the names suggest, have abundant water sources, and the people live by water.

But with the severe drought, the watershed passing through the three cities has dried up to the bottom.

In the evening, the twilight smeared the sky, and the scarlet sunset hid in the clouds. The sky seemed to be stained with blood, and it weighed heavily on people's hearts, making people breathless.

The carriage was still moving, and the guard driving saw the gate of the inner city not far away.

"Young master, madam, we are almost here."

In order to facilitate things outside, the two changed their names.

Originally, Shi Qi planned to show others the relationship between Feng Jue and Feng Jue as brothers.

But the plan didn't work out.

On the way to Luonan, every time people met on the road or in the tavern, they would call him "Madame".

In fact, his eyebrows and eyes are more delicate and delicate, coupled with his sickly appearance, which conceals the heroic spirit of his eyebrows, it always makes people think that he is a weak woman who should be protected.

Shi Qi was speechless and choked for a long time, and he became a Buddha.

Ma'am, let's be ma'am, business matters.

Gentlemen, bear humiliation and bear heavy burdens and can bend and stretch.

Besides, this way he can justifiably live in the same room with Feng Jue.

The matter of teasing card people...he will try his best to do his best.

The two opened the curtains, and the first place they arrived was Luoshui City. At a glance, it was a desolate scene. The land was dry and cracked, with ravines of different depths all over it, and the trees were only stumps left. There was no one in sight.

This is the outer city, where ordinary people and businessmen mostly live. The inner city is in the center of the city, and most of the people are officials, wealthy businessmen and nobles.

"My lord, you will arrive at the inner city in about a cup of tea."

"Um……"

The surroundings are silent, only the crisp cracking sound of the wheels rolling on the ground, after pressing the high-grade soil.

Before reaching the gate of the city, they could vaguely hear many low-pitched cries of different shades.

There are many refugees around the gate of the city. They are unkempt, holding bowls in their hands, their fingers are dyed black by the ash from their fingernails, their skin is chapped, and they are all skinny.

A city away, this place is like purgatory on earth.

Feng Jue glanced around, and couldn't tell how many people there were at a glance, only a dense layer.

Seeing a well-made carriage approaching, a group of refugees approaching them struggled to get up from the ground.

Since he hadn't eaten for a long time, he couldn't get up, so he scratched the ground with his hands, kicked his legs on the ground, and crawled towards the carriage.

He kept yelling, "Master Guan! It's Master Guan who is here!"

"Please, please help us, we haven't eaten for a long time..."

"Aren't you here to take care of Li Boqing, aren't you? That damned one, he withheld the court's grain and didn't want to open the barn door..."

Li Boqing is the lord of Luoshui City.

The common people cried and complained, and they regarded Feng Jue and the others as saviors.

Although the carriage was not luxurious in appearance, they had nothing else to do.

The people had already reached the edge of the carriage, and several people had already climbed onto the shelf, while the guards stood aside to stop them.

The guard, who was eager to protect the lord, was about to draw his sword.

In addition, there was no response from the carriage.

All of a sudden, he offended the refugee next to him who had been tense in his mind.

They rushed forward and pointed.

"What are you asking for! They're just a bunch of scumbags, what's the difference between those officials and villains in the city who take their lives and money!"

"That's right, that's right, smash their car!!"

Echoing the roar, several broken bowls smashed over and shattered to the ground.

The crackling sound was blocked by the wailing of the people.

What broke and collapsed was not just a bowl, but also the shattering of human nature when disasters and chaos arose.

Feng Jue looked out from the faint gap in the curtain, and it was desolate.

Just when he frowned and was about to make a sound.

Shi Qi coughed violently, and he held down his movement of opening the curtain, and signaled Feng Jue with his eyes: Leave it to me.
