The flood subsided, but Yunzhou seemed to be forgotten by the court.

Mei Berry did not feel that any measures related to disaster relief were implemented.

All she could feel was that the guards on the street were getting tighter and tighter recently, and no one was allowed to go out casually.

At first, some people in the alley said that there was no food at home, and protested that there would be no food if they did not go out.

As a result, the family was forced to stay at home and starved for two or three days before someone came to distribute a little food.

That little bit, Mei Youqian looked through the crack of the door, but it was only three to five catties.

But the food distribution only said that those were the rations for the next ten days.

"It's going to kill me, it's better not to eat this ration..."

Following the example of others, Mei Berry's family also received relief food twice.

Wei Meili, who was washing rice at noon, looked at the broken rice mixed with sand, closed her eyes and cursed a few words, took a few deep breaths, and when she opened her eyes again, she honestly picked up the dustpan and sifted the rice.

"Hey, keep your voice down~"

Mei Youqian, who was still poking his head at the door just now, turned around and entered the yard.

"Someone is dead outside."

"Who is dead?"

Wei Meili was taken aback by the action of sifting rice.

"It's the one diagonally opposite. They like to make reports. They were killed by the kid at the end of the alley..."

"Hey, what's the matter? The child usually looks gentle and polite, why is he like this all of a sudden?"

"Who knows? I just saw the soldiers go in to arrest people, but they weren't there, but I heard that the child's grandpa seems to have gone too."

"Ouch~~"

Wei Meili sighed again and again, and couldn't bear it. Those who have an impression of her grandparents and grandchildren, the old man is also very nice, and everyone gets along well in the alley.

The grandparent and grandson depend on each other for life. Although they live in poverty, they are very kind.

At first hearing that the old man is gone, and the grandson suddenly killed someone and ran away, why not make people feel embarrassed?

"I remember, did that old man get sick because of the rain a few days ago? He still hasn't made it through..."

***
Mei Berry was sitting in the backyard at this time and knew nothing about the things ahead.

She picked off the well-growing wax gourd vines and cut them into dregs, accompanied by corn slag, and handed them to the hens who had been raised in the backyard.

The fighting chicken, who usually knows how to lay eggs, is now looking at the winter melon vines in the plum bowl, and there is an emotion called loneliness in his eyes.

"Let's eat, let's eat, I'll bring the mule cub back when the wind calms down in a few days."

[What about the sheep? 】

Mentioning her own sheep, Mei Berry couldn't help but feel depressed, and turned into a burst of anger.

Earlier, when their family was receiving relief food, the lambs in the family blew too much, and the two sheep, one big and one small, were taken away by the soldiers.

Fortunately, the laying hen in Mei Berry's family happened to be released from the cage by Mei Berry to the backyard to let the wind out, otherwise, this wave of chickens would not be able to keep.

When I think of the soldiers who took away the sheep, they kept saying that people don't have enough to eat these days, and what kind of animals are they raising, and they are asked to save food.

Who are you kidding? !

Save food and take sheep away for you?
As for the mule cubs, fortunately, Mei Berry and the others moved out of Jiubaoxuan, saying that they were selling them to the other party, but they hadn't had time to send them away yet.

After that, they sent the mule cub to Wang Beigu and asked him to take good care of the mule cub.

Mei Berry can also check the situation of the mule cub in the background of the system. The mule cub should be safe recently, so she is a little relieved.

After that, Mei Berry moved the chickens at home directly to the backyard.

What I didn't expect was that soon, Mei You's sheep were also taken away.

It's not because they were discovered like theirs, but because they were reported by another family in the alley of theirs.

There was more than one family reporting, and more or less all the families in the alley had some small animals in their homes.

It’s not time for the soldiers to catch the cats and dogs, but the chickens, ducks and geese, as well as the sheep breeders such as Meiberry and Meiyou’s family, have basically been searched and taken away.

Looking at this situation, it is not only happening in the alley of Meiberry's house, but also in other places.

While embezzling the rations of all the common people, they also seized the food in the hands of the common people. There is no need to guess, Mei Berry understands how bad the current situation in Fucheng is.

What's worse is that these people would rather close the city than open the door, which shows that the outside is not a good place to go.

The people in the city complained a lot, and they dared not speak up in the face of those fierce soldiers, and they also had to face the backstabs of some people in the crowd.

Facing some people who are in the same rank as the officers and soldiers, it is really possible to hear the abuse from the beginning to the end of the alley all day long.

But so what if they were scolded, although their reputation was notorious, after a house-to-house raid in this alley, the family was rewarded with ten catties of grain after a few days.

When Mei Berry found out about this, she was so angry that her teeth were itchy. Although the family was not familiar with theirs, wasn't Mei You's family unlucky because of this?

"Last night, that family died."

Mei Berry was leaning against the wall and was feeding the fighting chickens when she suddenly heard a sound from behind the wall.

Mei Berry stood up in a daze and turned her head to look at Mei You who was standing in the backyard next door at some point.

"Dead?" Mei Berry met Mei You's gaze, "Which household?"

"The household in our alley that made the report."

"Has the murderer caught?"

"No." Meiyou shook her head, her face was very calm, as if she wasn't surprised at all.

She raised her eyes and saw Mei Berry staring at herself, before she could speak, she heard Mei Berry ask: "Who is the murderer?"

"The grandson of Uncle Yu's family at the entrance of the alley (certainly not you)."

After Mei You finished speaking, she heard Mei Berry say such a sentence while she was speaking, she was stunned for a second and then couldn't help laughing.

"How do you know it's not me?"

"It's not worth it. For that kind of person, your hands are simply dirty. You can at most teach me a lesson."

As if Mei Berry had guessed her mind, Mei You lowered her eyes and smiled, and said again: "I stole the food they rewarded last night, but... I didn't close the door."

The closed door that Mei You refers to refers to the courtyard door of the house.

·
The moon is dark and the wind is high,

Mei You wanted to climb over the wall and leave with the food, but saw a boy standing at the door of the other party with a kitchen knife in his hand.

It's the one from the Yu family.

The red eye sockets looked completely irrational, and a white hemp belt was tied around his waist.

Someone in their family died.

Meiyou remembered that besides himself, only his grandfather was left in their family.

At that time, the youngsters of the Yu family were staring at the sturdy courtyard gate, and when they turned around, they happened to meet Mei You who was squatting on the fence and staring at him.

"help me."

Now that Mei You thinks about it, she doesn't know why Boy Yu was so bold to order her to get up.

Mei You didn't think about why she agreed at that time, maybe it was infected by the despair and anger in him?
Anyway, she only knew that in the end she helped the boy open the door directly, and then left.

"Oh, and then the kid got revenge by groping in through the door you left open?"

Mei Berry didn't know what happened behind, she turned her head to feed the fighting chicken, nodded and said slowly:
"A few days ago, I heard from my mother that Grandpa Yu was not in good health. He has been ill since it rained. It seems that Grandpa Yu's family has raised two big geese that lay eggs... Goose eggs are also a good nourishing food. , no matter how bad it is, stew the big goose and give it to Grandpa Yu, okay?"

Unfortunately, everyone knows what happened next.

I think the child blamed the person who made the report.

After Mei Berry finished speaking, she couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, and now she had a faint feeling that the officers and soldiers couldn't hold back anymore.

No matter what the reason is for murder, there is one or two.

"Sister, what do you think happened outside the city? These officers and soldiers control us so strictly that even the city is closed, so no one cares about it? Didn't the imperial court send someone over?"

***
At this moment, Zhongzhou, where the imperial court was missed by Mei Berry, also suffered a huge blow - Dilong turned over.

Xie Changfan has not closed his eyes for three days.

He doesn't care about the resettlement of the people outside the palace, he just needs to obey the hysterical emperor who broke out when the earth dragon turned over.

Even if the reason why he was knocked down by the pillar was because he went crazy holding the Tianzi sword, he could still cut down the pillar on the side when the earth dragon turned over, and then collapsed, causing irreparable consequences for himself.

At this moment, outside the court hall, there are still countless people cleaning up the mess for him.

Xie Changwen silently stared at the dragon bed not far from him with his blue and white face, where the ashen-faced Emperor Yan Qing was lying.

Seeing Xie Changfan like this, the imperial physicians and eunuchs who came and went couldn't tell who would die first, him or Emperor Yan Qing.

"Cough cough."

Xie Changyan couldn't help but coughed twice, Zhao Wuyou walked by with the medicine in his hand and stopped silently when he heard his cough.

"My lord, why don't you go next door to drink some hot water, the prime minister and the others are all coming over now, and the princes and your mistress are also waiting outside, so it doesn't matter."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness. Your majesty will let me stay here."

Xie Changyan narrowed his eyes, his eyes fell on Emperor Yan Qing who had been waking up for a moment, then he closed his mouth, and calmly distanced himself from Zhao Wuyou.

Noticing Xie Chang's actions, Zhao Wuyou immediately put away the concerned look on his face, and continued to walk towards Emperor Yan Qing with the medicine in his hand.

After drinking the medicine, Dongfang Jixuan sat on the bed with a gloomy face, and ordered weakly with his mouth open:
"Empress Xuan comes in."

No one thought that in the end, it was not any ministers, sons, or concubines who called this person, but the queen who had never had an heir in these years and respected him like "ice".

This made the hearts of the princes, princes, mothers and concubines kneeling outside the palace tremble...

Emperor Yan Qing is a typical representative of the kind of selfishness who never fights internally and goes crazy when something happens.

He only allows himself to play mind games with others, and if they play mind games with him, he will go crazy online.

Still going crazy when dying_(:3」∠)_
Then drive everyone crazy.
