Chapter 89
……

After walking for half a day, Xu Huaixiu and his party were expecting a bit, and they were about to reach the border of Hanzhou. After traveling for many days, they finally arrived almost.

But as the distance from Hanzhou got closer, Xu Huaixiu's heart became more and more heavy.

Along the way, the closer he was to Hanzhou, the more tragic scenes he saw.

Along the way, the fields I saw were cracked and dry land everywhere, and refugees fleeing from famine were everywhere along the way, each of them was starving and starving, and many of them were only skinny and boneless, with dull eyes. Everyone is dying like a dying log.

This is winter drought.

There are thousands of miles of barren land, and on the dry fields, there is no grass, not to mention the crops to be planted, and there are not even weeds. The cracked land is like a ferocious mouth, devouring all vitality and hope.

Miserable.

Many fleeing teams with their families and their families walked slowly and weakly, as if they were about to be thrown down after taking two steps.

Even along the way, they saw many refugees eating soil and bark, each with a belly as big as a pregnant woman.

When Princess Anning looked at this scene, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she was extremely moved, and felt pity in her heart.

She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and since she was a child, she has rich clothes and fine food, and she has never had less food and clothing. Even when she came to Taixuanmen, she used the best food and the best resources for her cultivation. She has never seen this scene.

At this moment, she realized that the purgatory on earth is nothing more than this.

However, this is the country ruled by her emperor brother, how could it be so.

"Stop, stop!" Princess Anning shouted.

Seeing this, Xu Huaixiu couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. He was born in the era of great confidence explosion. He has higher technology and abundant food production. There are also many fast food products, a variety of desserts to eat, and Internet celebrity delicacies. , Many young people have not developed the habit of thrift at all, and what they can't finish is wasted, and they are thrown directly into the trash can.

At that time, even though my family was not well off, I never considered not being able to eat.

But the scene in front of him was too tragic.

This is relying on the sky, and there is no more technical means to intervene.

There were a lot of people fleeing famine on the road, and they looked at Xu Huaixiu's carriage one by one. Many of them looked around, staring eagerly, revealing a desire, and many people even knelt down and begged for food.

Many of them were so hungry that they no longer had the rationality to preserve kindness, and wanted to snatch them. However, seeing Xu Huaixiu and the others, who were obviously not easy to provoke, they held back their urges and desires one by one.

"Princess!" Xu Huaixiu rode over.

Princess An Ning got off the carriage and saw a skinny old man beside her and asked, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

The old man's eyes were dim and he was weak, but he replied weakly: "What else can we do, we can't eat, we must escape from this place, or we can only wait for death, God will not give us a way to survive!"

"Doesn't the government care about it? Hasn't it been reported to the court? As long as you wait patiently, there will be food and the drought will be resolved." Princess Aning said.

"Government? Haha, a joke, if the government controls us, if the court controls us, can we be like this, can we escape from Hanzhou?" The old man looked up to the sky and smiled, revealing a sense of sadness and despair.

Princess An Ning was silent, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she always thought that the country and land ruled by her emperor's elder brother had always been peaceful and prosperous, but she never thought that a winter drought would turn out to be such a tragic situation.

"Xiao Guizi, hurry up, take down all the food and share it with them!" Princess Anning turned her head and said.

Xu Huaixiu couldn't help giving Princess Anning a high look. Although she was domineering, she had empathy and kindness.

Without hesitation at the moment, he took out all the dry food brought in the carriage.

In an instant, seeing the dry food they were carrying, all the refugees rushed over like crazy, begging for food one by one.

"It's for food!"

"It's for food!"

"Master, give it to me quickly, take pity on me!"

"Woooooo!"

Many people swarmed up like bees, and what was supposed to be an orderly distribution of food has turned into looting.

Many elderly people and children couldn't fight these people at all, and started crying from behind, pitiful and miserable.

Princess Anning had never dealt with this before, she was at a loss for a while, she just felt that they were all pitiful, and the scene of looting was even more sad.

Keng!
Xu Huaixiu suddenly pulled out the long knife of the guard next to him, and slammed it across in front of Chishi. The light of the knife was cold, and the sword energy was cold. Xu Huaixiu shouted with a bit of murderous aura, "Stop those who don't want to die!"

In an instant, the refugees who were still looting were frightened. Although they were very hungry, they were more afraid of death, and they dared not move for a while.

Princess Anning frowned immediately and scolded: "Xiao Guizi, what are you doing, they are so pitiful, these are for them to eat!"

Xu Huaixiu ignored it and just shouted: "I only think that everyone is suffering. I haven't been late for a long time. I'm hungry, but we don't bring much food. If there are children, old people, and women in the family, priority is given. If you don't May, then don’t blame me for being ruthless with the sword in my hand!”

Everyone was shocked by Xu Huaixiu in an instant, not to mention that most of the refugees fleeing from the famine were with their families. Whoever didn't have any old people or children, just hesitated a little, and then scattered one after another, letting their own children and old people come forward Come on, what's more, originally many men snatched these food, and they wanted to give it to their family members at the first time. Hearing what Xu Huaixiu said, he was naturally willing.

Of course, the reason why Xu Huaixiu did this was because he was afraid that some of them might look like mermaids. After all, not all of them were family members. No matter whether they had died of illness one after another during the famine or not, but right now, it could only be like this.

There are many poor people, and not everyone can be helped.

The refugees who came to take away the food became orderly in an instant. The old people and children got the food and started to eat one by one, with tears in their eyes, and shouted one by one.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Good man, thank you benefactor!"

Seeing this scene, Princess An Ning was stunned, and looked at Xu Huaixiu's resolute face. Only then did she understand why the other party did this. The little eunuch seemed to be not as courageous as she thought, but just an eunuch. He looks courageous and resourceful, just like a regular man.

It's just a pity that the food they brought was originally eaten on the road, and there was not much left after this distribution. Looking at each one with their withered hands and eager eyes, Princess Anning had no choice but felt a little uncomfortable .

"This...is food!"

Suddenly, one of the refugees saw a grain bag scratched on the carriage, with a small hole, and a bean came out and fell to the ground.

He picked it up and held it in his hand, the light in his eyes was terrible.

In an instant, all the refugees looked here, looking at the bulging bags on the carriage.

Xu Huaixiu looked over and frowned immediately. The eyes of these people were terrifying, giving people a feeling of choosing and devouring, like a wolf.

"It's food, these carriages are full of food!"

The refugees who were picking up the beans suddenly shouted and rushed up, wanting to snatch them. In an instant, a large number of refugees couldn't help it, and rushed towards the carriage. If one person took the lead, countless people would follow.

call out!
A long knife was thrown fiercely, cutting through the sky, and with a puff, it directly penetrated the chest of the leading refugee.

Drops of blood were still falling through the tip of the knife on the back.

This person stared at the long knife on his chest in disbelief, and then fell down with a bang, no longer alive.
