Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 214

Shang Ruyi was taken aback, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be two guards. They asked with a gloomy expression, "What are you doing here?"

"I, I'll take a look."

"Who allowed you to come?"

"I--"

Seeing that she was stuttering and unable to speak, the two guards became more aggressive and said: "Go quickly, if you don't go, be careful, we are impolite!"

As soon as the words fell, a peaceful and laughing voice sounded behind Shang Ruyi: "I allowed her to come."

The two guards were surprised, and bowed their hands: "The head of the house."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned her head, and at some point, Xiao Yuansui had already walked behind her, looking at her with a smile, Shang Ruyi felt a little guilty: "Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Yuansui didn't respond to her immediately, but waved his hands to the two guards, and they immediately retreated to the side.

Then he looked down at Shang Ruyi, and said with a smile: "It seems that after enjoying the three-foot bed and the table of meals, the young lady still wants to go through this door to have a look."

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a while, then looked at the flat road again: "Where does it lead to?"

Xiao Yuansui said with a smile: "Go and have a look, you will know."

After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything else, and walked directly beside Shang Ruyi with his hands behind his back, and went forward. Although Shang Ruyi was a little apprehensive, she followed immediately.

Soon, the two of them came to the end of the straight path. Only then did Shang Ruyi realize that after turning that corner, a wide platform suddenly opened up in front of him. The avenue leads straight ahead, and at the end of the avenue, there is a huge warehouse. The two wide wooden doors on the front are partially hidden, and some tall, hill-like black shadows can be faintly seen in the dim light inside.

Xiao Yuansui said: "Do you know what that is?"

Shang Ruyi didn't answer this, but slowly squatted down, picked up a handful of small stones from the side of the road, and threw them forward.

Immediately, all the birds that had stopped on the ground and pecked here and there flew up with a whoosh.

It was clearly winter, and the scenery was almost condensed, but the frightened birds suddenly made this place look alive, Shang Ruyi smiled, then turned to Xiao Yuansui and said, "Do you still need to ask? "

In winter, here is Huangtuling, why are there so many birds?
But it was because the ground was covered with rice grains.

However, it is not intentional to sprinkle here to feed the birds, but it is on the way of transporting grain, no matter how neatly loaded it is, it will inevitably leak some, so the birds living on the trees near the large granary and grain transport road always It is fatter than other places.

And here is Xingluo Cangcheng.

What is in front of you is the real world's number one granary that can support people all over the world - Xingluo warehouse!

Speaking of which, she and Yu Wenye have been talking about this granary from time to time since a long time ago, but neither of them seems to have seen this granary, nor even sketched it in their minds.

It was really unexpected that this granary turned out to be like this.

When the door opened in front of you, a gust of hot wind blew in. The wind was mixed with a smell that seemed to be very fragrant and a bit stinky. In front of her eyes, after avoiding the burst of smoke and dust, she slowly raised her head.

Everything is in sight.

In front of her was a huge barn, even bigger than all the tall palaces she saw when she entered Ziwei Palace, and those dark shadows as tall as mountains just now were listed here In the warehouse, there are grain stacks one after another.

These grain stacks are cylindrical in shape, six to seven feet wide and four to five feet high, resembling a small house, but when you get closer, you will find that the grain stacks do not rise from the ground, but a part of them is buried deep under the ground. In summary, it is nearly ten feet high!

Isn't this the grain mountain?

And there is more than one such grain mountain in this warehouse. Shang Ruyi walked into this warehouse slowly and took a closer look. There are dozens of tall and majestic grain mountains here, densely packed like gods in the human body. The chess pieces pressed in the world, every single chess piece, can make the world flock to it, even crazy!
Shang Ruyi couldn't help trembling, looking at the food, she didn't know why, her heart was in a mess.

After a while, he murmured: "Grain...this is the grain from Xingluocang."

Although I have seen this place countless times, Xiao Yuansui was still shocked when he walked in and saw it again. The surging mood was almost the same as that of Shang Ruyi. He stood beside her. , Slowly said: "Yes, this is the grain of Xingluo Cang."

"..."

"Before, we transported food to Wanggangzhai three times, and each time there were more than a dozen vehicles, which was enough for the brothers who stayed in the village to eat for half a year."

"..."

"But even then, we didn't hollow out a grain stack."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

And then, Xiao Yuansui continued: "And there are more than 40 granaries like this."

"what?!"

Shang Ruyi couldn't believe her ears, she turned her head and looked at him in amazement: "This, this is just—"

Xiao Yuansui said: "That's right, this place is just one of the warehouses."

"..."

"My brothers and I entered this warehouse city. Until now, no one has visited all the warehouses."

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't know what to say anymore, she stared blankly at him for a while, then turned her head away again, slowly approached one grain stack, looked up for a while, and then walked to another.Looking at those grain piles standing silently, they have no emotion, let alone thoughts, but they have stirred up the life and death, joy and anger of too many people in the world, and there is an indescribable cruelty.

Xiao Yuansui also came forward and walked forward with her.

The two of them just walked side by side, walking in the middle of these tall grain stacks, without saying a word, but it seemed that thousands of words echoed in this quiet space.

After an unknown amount of time, Shang Ruyi asked, "Why did you bring me to see this?"

As Xiao Yuansui walked forward, he said, "Do you know how long the food here can last the people of the world?"

"..."

"The people in the world can rely on the food here to live for several years without farming or planting."

"..."

"However, even though there is so much food here, the imperial court still extorts it violently, and the people still bear the heaviest corvee. Do you know how many innocent people have died because of hunger, cold and war in the world in recent years?"

Shang Ruyi's throat choked and she didn't speak.

Xiao Yuansui walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said: "You said yesterday that Lu Yong is not a thing, indeed, he is indeed not a thing. But what I want to tell you is that there are many people like him in the world, but they are not around. In front of you, you haven’t seen them, they only have one name—Hungry People.”

"..."

"If they starve to death, there is only one name—starved to death."

"..."

"If you don't starve to death, and you don't want to be starved to death, then you have another name—Wang, Gang, and Jun."

These three words seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and they fell heavily on Shang Ruyi's heart. Her breath was suffocated, and it took a long time for her to calm down. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuansui: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Yuansui looked at her with a smile, and said: "Although I only met the young lady once before, based on my understanding of the young lady and the character of the young lady, we should not be enemies."

"..."

"Young madam has compassion for me at that time, let alone the poor people all over the world?"

Shang Ruyi lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said: "Even if I had sympathy for Mr. Xiao and the poor people all over the world, but this is only my own idea. How can it affect the great cause of Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao brought you It would be a waste of energy to let me hang around here."

"Not necessarily,"

Xiao Yuansui smiled and said: "I think I have the knowledge of people, young lady, your path is definitely not just in front of you."

"..."

"What's more, you have a husband who can stir things up!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi understood that he put so much effort into bringing himself here today, and said so many things, it was for Yu Wenye.

Shang Ruyi said: "You, are you still looking for him?"

"That's right. Last night, I sent a few more people to search along Huangtu Ridge."

"Still not found?"

"No."

"In this case, you shouldn't worry about it. Maybe, he really, really, won't come back. "

Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi felt a little tingling in his heart, but Xiao Yuansui shook his head, his eyes were bright and introverted, and said: "It is precisely because there is no trace of him that it is the reason why I can't rest assured. "

"..."

"It's very unusual for a [-]-man army to dispatch without leaving any traces. If it's really according to what the people in the court said, he fled after being defeated, he should be in a very embarrassing state, and there's no need to Deliberately concealing his whereabouts. With his current appearance, I know very well that he must have a plan!"

With that said, he turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi: "He will definitely come back!"

As soon as the words were finished, Shang Ruyi's steps happened to step on a dead branch that fell on the ground at some time, and there was a click, although the sound was not loud, but in such an empty and quiet warehouse, it was particularly ear-piercing.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at the gate that was far away behind her: "Someone is coming!"

Xiao Yuansui glanced at her with a dazed expression.

But at this moment, the falsely concealed door was pushed open again, and there was a heavy and hoarse long neigh, and then, a tall figure walked in angrily.

But, just before that person rushed in, Xiao Yuansui suddenly grabbed Shang Ruyi's arm, and pulled her behind a nearby grain pile!

Shang Ruyi was caught off guard, and her back was stuck to the grain stack, but before she could struggle, Xiao Yuansui had already stepped forward, directly grabbed her with his body, and pressed her against the tall grain stack.

She was shocked: "You—"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuansui covered her mouth with his hand, lowered his head and said, "Don't talk!"
