Chapter 108 Patrol
Ning Yu was prepared to endure hardships this time, so after entering Yunyang, he didn't even enter Yun County, and directly left Guo Chong aside, and took his own troops to start visiting the counties.

The prefecture of Yunyang Prefecture is located in Yunxian County, in addition to Zhushan, Fangxian, Zhuxi, Baokang and Yunxi five counties. Ning Si, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, was puzzled, so he asked, "Young General, this Yun county is just around the corner, why don't you go and have a look?"

Ning Yu smiled, and patiently explained: "Yun County, as the prefecture of Xunyang, must be the best developed among the counties, so there is no need to go to see it first. After reading the following five counties, then look at Yun County, I'm afraid it feels different again."

Ning Si chuckled, "It turns out that the major general is like eating sugar cane. He started eating the bitter end first, and then it became sweeter and sweeter after eating. Now the little one understands."

Ning Yu couldn't laugh or cry, although Ning Si's words were superficial, it was the same thing after all.However, in Ning Yu's vision, there is another point, that is, visiting the five counties can better understand the current Xunyang Mansion, and the development of Yun County may blind him.

In the early spring of February, the temperature was gradually rising, and the soldiers felt their hands and feet warmed up a bit. Although the road was a bit difficult and dangerous, it was feasible to start the army faster, but within a day, they arrived in Yunxi.

After arriving in Yunxi, Ning Yu frowned tightly, because the situation was more severe than he had imagined. The entire Yunxi County was full of thatched huts, where a large number of refugees gathered and struggled to survive.

When these refugees saw Ning Yu and the others, they knelt down on the ground in a panic, all of them had pale faces. Their thin bodies could be seen clearly from their ragged clothes. Some children stood in the distance holding branches, not fighting Playing, just looking at Ning Yu and others with a look of fear, there are very few outsiders here.

Looking at these people, Ning Yu felt a little powerless for the first time. He had a lot to say, but so what?Faced with such a situation, it is useless to say anything. What they need is real land, real food, and real belly.

And these are exactly what the current Ning Yu can't provide. Of course, Ning Yu can also ignore it, just like the officials of the Qing court, temporarily forgetting the life and death of these people, as long as there is no trouble, but really OK?According to the memories of Ning Yu, in a few decades, a refugee uprising that shook the world will break out here, and it will deal a serious blow to the Qing court.

If Ning Yu hadn't dealt with the disaster situation and the refugees here, then this force would naturally attack the Fuhan Army itself.Only by giving them a bite to eat can this situation be changed.

While Ning Yu was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, causing the guards around him to be nervous. Many people were discussing, and they even glanced over intentionally or unintentionally. This made Ning Yu a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but Going forward, I saw an old man beating a young man.

The boy was dressed in rags, and although his body was full of bruises, his face was as firm as iron, and he didn't make a sound at all. As the whip kept falling on the boy's body, leaving bloodstains, the audience around him tried their best to dissuade him. Old man, let his subordinates show mercy.

But the old man didn't care about it at all, but he beat him harder every time, muttering: "Baby, this is your fate! Don't blame me, old man!"

The young man finally couldn't take it anymore, and passed out under the whipping of the old man, but before he passed out, he subconsciously protected the person behind him, it was a disheveled little girl, only eleven or twelve years old, the eyes she looked at everyone Here, full of colors of fear.

The old man finally stopped his whip, looked around the crowd, then focused his gaze on Ning Yu, walked a few steps beside Ning Yu, then knelt down, put his forehead on the ground, and knocked out a few times. Daohong seal.

"Please live, young master! The old man really has no choice! If there is no hope, how can the old man sell his young daughter?" The old man was crying while talking, looking a little pitiful and a little bit exasperating.

Ning Yu probably already understood a little bit in his heart. I'm afraid it was another tragic event of selling his son and daughter. He sighed deeply and said, "How do you want me to save you?"

Hearing the gentleness in Ning Yu's tone, the old man was overjoyed, pushed the little girl behind him over, and said loudly: "Master, I'll sell her to you, I just ask you to give me a few taels of silver. It is enough to have something to eat, the old man is grateful for your great kindness!"

People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times, but the people here hardly live a good life for a few days.

Ning Yu's heart tightened slightly, and he subconsciously pointed at the boy, "What about him?"

Unexpectedly, the old man became nervous for a while, and held the fainted boy in his arms, not daring to offend Ning Yu, but whispered: "He won't sell it, he won't sell it."

This kind of favoritism made Ning Yu a little annoyed, "Hmph, selling your daughter to raise a child, you have a good plan!"

However, the behavior of the old man was understood by many people around him. Some of them said, "You can die when you raise a child," and others said, "Pass the family to the next generation."

The old man looked sad, sat on the ground and howled loudly, rubbed the past into his chest, and then said it in detail,
It turned out that the boy was originally his elder brother's son, but the whole family starved to death, and this boy was the only one left, who has been living with the old man ever since.But in the past two years, there was no food to eat due to famine. The old man didn't want to live up to his elder brother's entrustment, so he wanted to sell his little girl to support this young man.

After these words, Ning Yu was a little dumbfounded. He thought he was very smart and often judged everyone by the common darkness in the world, but now he has learned a lesson.

The old man sold his own daughter just to support the nephew entrusted to him by his elder brother. In this day and age, he would only be called affectionate and righteous. If Ning Yu stopped him, it would cause criticism.

"Don't sell it! I will give you a way out."

While the old man was amazed, Ning Yu just stood on a hillside, and the people below all stared blankly at the young general, and they were very quiet for a while.

"My name is Ning Yu, and I am the Major General of the Fuhan Army. I promise you all."

"Give me three years, and you will never starve to death again."

"Give me three years, and you can live in the world with dignity!"

Ning Si looked at his young master, and suddenly understood in his heart, a sentence that the young master often said in the past.

A good man walks in the world, if he is poor, he will take good care of himself alone, and if he is rich, he will help the world at the same time.
