My whole family is fleeing
Chapter 263: Can anyone help?
The eldest prince thought hard all night, and finally came up with a damaging move. Many princes were arrested in the previous palace incident and had not had time to deal with them before. Now is a good time to search. They directly sent people to seize all the properties of these princes. In the end, they found 500 million taels piecemeal and prepared to use them for disaster relief. Of course, this 500 million taels was also the last thing the eldest prince said. Number of. Who knows if there is any confusion among them?
Those courtiers have some objections to this, because the eldest prince didn't let them get involved at all during the process of ransacking the house. Tell me, he didn't even let them get involved in such a lucrative job. The eldest prince wanted to cut them off. ah!
Of course, the matter may not be that serious, but in the eyes of those people, if they are not allowed to take advantage, then they are suffering. The eldest prince not only got a lot of money, but also gained a good reputation. They simply gained fame and fortune.
It's just that since the princes and ministers were not allowed to intervene in the previous quarrel, then the next disaster relief needs to involve those princes and ministers. This is also a necessary balancing act. The eldest prince thought about it again and again, and finally compromised. He knew that once the disaster relief money was sent to these greedy people, it would be severely exploited, but what could he do at this time? The court really couldn't find any useful officials. The late emperor should be blamed for this, because the late emperor drove away so many officials from the court while he was still alive. Or they were killed. Now most of the people left in the court are people from the regional Fengying. The remaining Qingliu people also left the capital one after another under the advice of their friends who were demoted. No one knows where they went. Everyone only knows that in the past ten years, a large number of officials left the capital and disappeared mysteriously.
The DPRK and China have been quarreling for a long time about who should be responsible for disaster relief. Each force wants to grab more resources for itself. Finally, they finally came to a conclusion. Several days had passed since the blizzard occurred. Those people who were hungry and cold and imagined that the court would send people to provide disaster relief almost fell into despair.
In one corner, a once good house now collapsed. There was only a small corner left, which could provide some protection from the wind and cold, and in this corner huddled a pair of grandparents who were in danger. The old man was over 60 years old, and his hair was completely white. Even though he was shivering from the cold, he still opened his arms and took his granddaughter into his arms, wanting to use his withered body to give her a hand. A little warmth.
The younger child looked about four or five years old, with an unhealthy look on his face. It was because he had been frozen so hard that his face was almost frozen to death.
At this moment, the grandfather and grandson were huddled under a tattered quilt, looking at the gloomy sky and the falling snowflakes, falling into despair.
Alas, when will this snowstorm stop? Because the snowstorm came at night, after a night of heavy snow, the house collapsed without warning. Their family of six, old and young, only survived her and her little grandchild. Needless to say, there is no need to mention the sadness, but what the old man thinks about most now is how to keep his only granddaughter alive.
The weather was so cold that even if he reluctantly picked out a tattered quilt from the discarded pile, it was still not enough to protect him from the cold. What's more, the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky not only covered the houses, trees, and pedestrians on the road, but also heavily weighed down their food.
Even if they could find food, in such a cold weather, with snowflakes constantly falling in the sky, it would be difficult to even light a fire, and the firewood would all be wet. How could they cook the food? They urgently need a sip of hot soup now.
"Grandma, I'm cold."
"Nanny, be good, let's bear with it, okay? If you bear with it any longer, someone will come to save us. If you are cold, get closer to grandma. If we are closer, we won't be cold." The old man held on tightly. He held the child in his arms, his voice was calm, but there was a numb and dead silence in his eyes. Her left leg was broken and she has no consciousness now, and she doesn't know if it has fallen off. But she is already the only adult in the family. She can't panic herself and make her little granddaughter worry and scared, right?
So he had to be strong. Now that everyone was so hungry, she was really worried that her little granddaughter would not be able to come back if she went out. Never try to test what a person can do in an extremely hungry and cold environment to destroy his outlook on life. It will only leave you dumbfounded.
The old man has lived for many years, so he never dares to think too good things about people. It would be great if the court could send someone to help them now.
It is obvious that their family are honest people and they pay their taxes honestly every year. Shouldn't the court come to help them at this time? Innocent people die in action every night. It doesn't make sense, those officials don't know. When they usually calculate how much tax everyone has to pay, aren't they each smarter than the other? Why have you become stupid now?
Seeing that the face of his granddaughter in his arms was getting uglier and his body temperature was getting lower and lower, the old man was already in despair. She raised her head and looked at the dim sky and issued a series of questions.
"God, please open your eyes and take a look. We are all suffering, can't anyone come and help us? My poor little granddaughter, she is not even five years old this year, is she going to die like this? She He has not grown up yet and has never seen what this world is like. How pitiful it would be if he died like this! I am willing to die by myself. Can a kind person come to save him? Even if he becomes a slave in the future. Well, as long as I can have food to eat and live, that will be fine..."
While muttering to herself, the old woman seemed to hear a rustling sound. She opened her eyes with difficulty, thinking that it was those people who were spying on their grandparents and grandchildren in the dark. However, she saw a bright red color.
Is that, is that blood? But how can the blood move? Could it be that she was really about to die, so she was dizzy and saw something wrong?
Alas, it seems that God did not hear her accusations and prayers...
"Old man, are you okay? Can you hear me? If you can, just blink."
Who is talking? The sound was far and near, as if it was falling from the sky. However, along with this sound came a tangy aroma of meat. This smells like, who made the broth?
The old man opened his eyes reflexively. (End of chapter)
