Ancient Dragon Heroes: Starting from the Full Level Wedding Clothes Magic Skill

Chapter 73: Death is inevitable anyway, what are you afraid of?
thought for a moment.

Qing Yuan said solemnly: "His aura is extremely restrained, but when he performs Qing Gong, the aura he reveals is indeed innate realm."

Shangguan Xiangpeng murmured: "If he can protect Yu'er in the future, I will not object to their relationship, but innate talent is not enough."

Qingyuan understood what Shangguan Xiangpeng was referring to.

She also strongly agrees.

His innate realm is indeed a genius.

But I want to protect Shangguan Yuer.

Really not enough!

Shangguan Xiangpeng said again: "You have worked hard and followed that little guy. If his life is in danger, rescue him secretly. You can't let Yu'er feel sad for him."

Qingyuan cupped her hands and clasped her fists: "Yes!"

……

On the way to Pingshan County.

Lin Yan clearly felt that after the cup of gong-increasing tea was refined by the true energy in his body, it really improved his cultivation level, which was almost equivalent to adding several days of hard work.

If it were an ordinary Xiantian realm warrior who drank that cup of power-increasing tea.

After refining and absorbing it, it is estimated that it can improve one or two years of hard training!
This Gong-increasing tea is indeed good stuff.

However, Lin Yan also heard from an old drunkard that the effect of increasing power tea is best when you drink it for the first time, but after that, the effect is not so obvious.

Perhaps the old drunkard has also drank.

But... the old drunkard prefers to drink in bars, and I have never seen him drink tea.

blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

Lin Yan and his party finally arrived at Pingshan County in the south.

This is a very special place.

Although it is a county, it covers a large area.

It is equivalent to four to five times that of other counties.

and!

Ordinary places only have one season of food a year, but due to the special geographical environment and climate, Pingshan County can produce two seasons of food in spring and autumn.

Five years ago, this was a very important grain-producing county in the ancient dynasty.

It was supposed to be a place of wealth.

But the taxes in this place are also heavy due to the high production of grain.

The people harvested two crops of grain a year.

But in the end, what is left in the hands is not much more than those who only collect one season a year.

Since five years ago, Pingshan County has suffered from severe droughts and locust plagues. The people have had no harvest in five years, and their grain reserves have long been exhausted.

This year, people are dying of hunger.

And the court’s disaster relief...

Doesn't seem to work at all!

and!

Lin Yan really didn't expect a locust plague in spring. He always thought that locust plague only occurred in autumn.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

At least in the ancient dynasty, locust plagues really appeared in spring.

Lin Yan and his party walked all the way.

We have met a large number of victims.

There are those who sell their sons and daughters, and there are also those who sell their wives and themselves.

Anything that can give you a stutter.

They are willing to do whatever you ask them to do.

Just to live.

Lin Yan and the others did not bring much dry food, but they distributed a lot along the way.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Didn't it say that the King of Jinnan has been going south to provide disaster relief for more than half a month? Why are there so many victims starving to death on the roadside? Could it be that he just used the name of going south to provide disaster relief to abduct children to practice evil arts?"

Lin Yan increasingly felt that this possibility was extremely high.

A burst of anger could not help but surge up in my heart.

"Hmph! What a damn Jinnan King!"

While Lin Yan was thinking about this, Chang Fu couldn't help but ask: "Captain Luo, you gave all your dry food to the victims, what do you eat?"

Luo Ning said nothing.

Instead, there was a hint of relief on her face.

It seemed that being able to see these victims eating would make her happy.

Chang Fu wanted to ask a few more questions.

Was stopped by Zhou Deming.

"It doesn't matter, let Chief Luo make the decision. If she doesn't have anything to eat, don't we still have some with us? If everyone is evenly divided, we will still have enough to eat for two days."

Ahead, dozens more victims were preparing to leave their homes and rush to other places to survive.Lin Yan stopped several victims.

"Fellow fellows, hasn't the imperial court sent a prince south to Pingshan County to personally supervise the Pingshan County officials' efforts to provide disaster relief? Why do you still want to leave?"

When several people saw Lin Yan wearing the official uniform of Jinyiwei, they all showed fear on their faces.

Lin Yan reassured: "You don't have to be afraid. If you have anything, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."

Several people quickly shook their heads and waved their hands: "No, no, we don't know anything."

Such an answer made Lin Yan frown slightly.

He has realized.

Things in Pingshan County may not be simple.

Lin Yan changed the subject: "Fellow, let me ask, is the locust plague still going on?"

Several people nodded.

Lin Yan said again: "Then can you take me to look for locusts?"

Several people were stunned, and one of the victims bravely replied: "Sir, what are you doing looking for locusts?"

Lin Yan said casually: "Eat."

The expressions of several victims suddenly changed and they waved their hands repeatedly.

"I can't eat it, I can't eat it."

"Sir, locusts are sent by God to punish us. Eating them will cause greater natural disasters, and we must not eat them."

"And the locusts are so ugly. They must be poisonous and cannot be eaten. They cannot be eaten..."

Lin Yan knew that these victims were right about one thing.

The locusts during the locust plague are really poisonous.

However, as long as they are treated with high temperatures, the toxins in their bodies can be removed.

Lin Yan said calmly: "That means we can still catch locusts, right?"

Several victims looked at each other.

Don't know how to answer.

Lin Yan continued: "Even if the locusts are sent by God to punish you, the worst they can do is die; if you continue to starve like this, you will die in the end; even if you leave your hometown, you will probably die of starvation on the way.

"Since it means death anyway, what are you afraid of?"

Such a simple truth.

Just because of the confinement of feudal ideas, countless people cannot understand or think clearly.

Lin Yan just wanted to wake them up and show them a way to survive.

and!

This method can only work for a while.

That is when the locusts have not completely left.

Wait until the locusts leave Pingshan County.

Even if you want to catch locusts to eat, there is no chance.

At that time.

More people will starve to death.

As for escaping to other counties to find a way to survive, it is also very difficult.

Because those who could escape have already escaped.

Those who have not escaped are either reluctant to leave their hometown, or they have no other skills except farming and have no survival skills. If they go to other counties, they will die without land.

Don’t think that just cultivating a piece of land in the mountains will be enough.

The management of land in the ancient dynasty was very strict.

Land reclaimed without registration or documentation is regarded as occupying national resources.

After being caught, not only will the land be confiscated, but also a heavy prison sentence will be imposed.

In the absence of food.

A severe sentence is also equivalent to death.

and.

One person cultivates the land, and the whole family sits together.

Again!
There are an unusually large number of venomous snakes and beasts in those uncultivated mountains.

Ordinary people go to live in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time.

There is no way to survive.

There are also various other factors that lead ordinary people to die if they go into the mountains and forests.

Pingshan County is very large. Unless they fled Pingshan County early in the morning, many victims moved to other places on foot and died on the way before they even got there.

There are too many such cases.

Looking at the victims who kept shaking their heads and waving their hands, Lin Yan added: "I have eaten locusts before. As long as they are roasted over fire, the toxins in their bodies can be removed. They taste delicious and crispy."

Several victims still couldn't believe it.

Lin Yan added: "Let's do this. I'll give you two dry flour cakes, and you take me to catch some locusts. I want to eat a few locusts. Even if God wants to punish me, it will be punished by me and has nothing to do with you."
