Early the next morning, after Father Shuanzi fed the horse, he led the horse to the courtyard gate.

Since the ten horses came to Liuyunzhai, they have lived a life with food and water, and each of them has grown fat and strong, especially Zhuifeng, who has gained a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.

Bai Xia packed up and went out. Shuanzi and Yu Dahai were already ready and stood at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for them to set off together.

Seeing Bai Xia, Zhui Feng came over affectionately and was very happy.

Even if they haven't seen each other for more than ten days, it won't affect their feelings for Bai Xia.

"Tsk...have you gained weight?"

"Can you still run?"

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, the horse has become visibly fatter to the naked eye, and Bai Xia couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although Zhui Feng was humane, he was still a horse and could not understand Bai Xia's worries. He thought Bai Xia was praising him, so he was so happy that he put his head to rub Bai Xia's hand.

"Okay, okay, stop rubbing it."

"Go, go."

Bai Xia got on his horse, and the group ran down the mountain.

After riding for a while, Bai Xia and the others had no choice but to walk down due to the rugged mountain road.

The plants on both sides of the road have turned a lot yellower, and there is less and less green than a dozen days ago.

"The drought at the foot of the mountain is getting serious again"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the surrounding scenery and frowned. This was not a good sign.

“It never rained”

"If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid the water on the mountain won't be able to control it for long."

Li Xiuyuan sighed.

Bai Xia didn't say anything, and didn't tell him that he could transform water without limit, which was not necessarily a good thing.

The group of people walked on in silence.

They left early, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun had just risen. Looking at the thick dusty official road at the foot of the mountain, Bai Xia and the others got on their horses and walked towards Jiazhou.

But along the way, their expressions became darker and darker.

Because on both sides of the road, you can see a corpse every time you walk. The weather is hot, and the corpses are exposed to the sun, which attracts many flies and mosquitoes. Many corpses have rotted and maggots.

After more than ten good days, Yu Dahai and Shuanzi looked pale and had vomited several times.

During the process, Bai Xia asked them to tear up their clothes and tie them around their mouths and noses, saying it was to prevent some bacteria.

It's a good thing that Bai Xia asked them to do this, otherwise they wouldn't be vomiting now, but would be fainted directly from the smoke. It's also a good thing that they are riding on horses, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.

A few people walked forward and met few living people on the road.

Some of the corpses were potbellied and had apparently died from eating Guanyin soil.

"I don't know which way Sister Ziying and the others are going? Are they going in the same direction as us? If they are in the same direction, they don't have horses. They have to walk slower, and maybe we can meet them."

Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself.

Although he had seen such a scene in his previous life, he was still stimulated to the point of vomiting several times.

Bai Xia was silent all the way, and it took a lot of perseverance not to spit it out.

Maybe he got it from his previous dealings with bandits.

After walking for a while, they finally met someone, about 30 people, old and young, helping each other to move forward. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they immediately gathered around.

"Sir, miss, please do us a favor and give us a bite to eat."

"Okay, okay, okay, okay"

Yiwofeng seemed to rush up and knelt down in front of Bai Xia and the others.

Li Xiuyuan looked a little ugly and looked into the distance. There was also a team of refugees running towards this place after seeing the situation here.

They blocked Bai Xia's way and cried and begged on the ground.

Bai Xia discovered that some of them had very big bellies, which were a bit unbelievably big.

"White Summer"

Li Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at Bai Xia.Bai Xia leaned over slightly and looked at the people in front of him. They were sallow and thin, with chapped lips, hair as messy as a chicken coop, eyes red, clothes hanging in tatters on their bodies, and their bare feet stepping on the hot ground.

He didn't feel hot even when he was kneeling on the ground, and he kowtowed at every opportunity.

The stench of corpses came from the air, but they didn't seem to be able to smell it.

"Where are you planning to go?"

Bai Xia didn't say whether they would be given food or not. They only knew that this road led to Jiazhou, but they didn't know the specific city ahead.

Kneeling in front is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is also holding a little boy of four or five years old in his arms. At this moment, the little boy has his eyes tightly closed, and only the slight rise and fall of his abdomen indicates that he is still alive.

Previously, it was this man who discovered Bai Xia and the others first.

"Reply to your Majesty, I...we plan to go to Wei County"

The man raised his head and glanced at Bai Xia carefully. He didn't dare to look more and lowered his head to reply.

"Your Majesty?"

Bai Xia raised her eyebrows: "Do you think we look like noble people?"

Have you ever seen a noble man wearing coarse cloth?
The man did not dare to speak, so he just prayed: "Please give us some food, please, please, please."

The refugees behind him also started begging.

"embolus"

Bai Xia reached out towards Shuanzi, who quickly covered the package tightly, shook his head and said, "Miss, this is all we have to eat."

If you give it to them, what will they do?

After hearing Shuanzi's words, the refugees below kowtowed even more vigorously, with only one thought in their minds: they had something to eat.

"give it to me"

The "village leader" Shuanzi looked at Li Xiuyuan, wanting him to persuade Bai Xia not to be impulsive.

But he didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to follow Bai Xia's wishes and said, "I'll give it to you if I ask you to."

Shuanzi reluctantly handed the baggage to Bai Xia, feeling a heartache in his heart.

"I can give you food, but I have to ask you about something."

"My lord, please tell me"

Bai Xia was riding on the horse, but these people didn't dare to rush up to grab it, so the man kneeling in front spoke.

"Why is his belly so big?" she asked, pointing to an old man in the crowd.

All the refugees looked in the direction pointed by Bai Xia's finger. The old man couldn't pull out the Guanyin soil because he had eaten too much, and his belly was as big as a drum. When he saw everyone looking at him, he subconsciously turned towards him. Backed off a little.

"That's because he ate Guanyin soil"

Sure enough.

"Where did Guanyin soil come from?" she asked, looking at the old man.

"In...in Ganzhou"

The old man lowered his voice and opened the baggage he was carrying on his back. There was a bag of Guanyin soil inside, weighing about two or three kilograms.

The middle-aged man in front saw that Bai Xia was very interested in Guanyin soil, so he hurriedly held the child in one hand, grabbed the old man's baggage with the other hand, and handed it to Bai Xia.

The old man did not resist and handed the Guanyin Soil to Bai Xia.

Bai Xia took the package and gave it to Li Xiuyuan. They didn't expect that they would get news about Guanyin Tu just after they came down the mountain.

"Take it and share it. If it's not enough, come back to me."

Bai Xia handed the food to the middle-aged man. The man was overjoyed and hurriedly took it. He was afraid that everyone would snatch it. After receiving it, he threw a steamed bun to his left, right and back to avoid being swarmed.

When the refugees from these directions went to grab that steamed bun, he let the steamed bun down one by one.

He heard what Bai Xia said was not enough to go find her again.

"Steamed buns are all my steamed buns."

Shuanzi looked sad and wished he could go down and grab it with them.
