Chapter 101
The beggar stared straight at the snacks in her hand, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "Girl, I will tell you whatever you want to know. Just give me something to eat first."

Zhao Zhizhi saw that he was not aggressive, so after thinking about it, he threw the snack out and said, "Go on."

The beggar-like man hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch the snack, put it to his mouth and started to devour it.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at his appearance, fearing that he would choke, so he said with concern: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

The beggar finished the snack quickly. Zhao Zhizhi saw that he was licking even the remnants in his hand, frowned slightly, and took out the remaining snacks from his sleeve, "These are for you too."

Hearing this, the beggar raised his head and was stunned when he saw the snacks in her hand. He looked at her in disbelief, his lips trembled violently, and he managed to say: "Girl, can you really give them all to me?"

Zhao Zhizhi didn't have this idea before. She kept these snacks in order to copy them to the space and add some spares.

Now I think about it clearly, these snacks are things that cannot be shelved. If you make too many copies and cannot finish them in time, they will be wasted and spoiled, so it is better to give them away.

Zhao Zhizhi nodded. After receiving the confirmation, the beggar bent his knees and knelt straight on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he removed the messy hair from his eyes, and Zhao Zhizhi was able to see his appearance clearly.

It's a pity that this beggar hasn't washed himself in an unknown amount of time. Even if he pulls his hair away, his thick beard still covers most of his face.

Zhao Zhizhi could barely see the beggar's slightly cloudy but very sober eyes.

"Girl is so kind and kind, I have nothing to repay. I just hope that I can meet her again in my next life and act like a cow and a horse for her."

Although this person's voice is a little hoarse, his conversation is quite talented.

Zhao Zhizhi's mind suddenly moved and he asked hesitantly: "You seem to be able to read and interpret sentences, why don't you go to Hanchuang to study hard and get fame?"

Her words seemed to touch upon the beggar's sadness, and the decadence in her words became much stronger.

"How did the girl know that I didn't fight hard? It's ridiculous that the world is too chaotic. Even if I have the intention, I can't turn things around. It's God's mercy that I can survive in this world now."

After he finished speaking, he paused and then said: "The past is just a cloud of smoke, so don't mention it."

Zhao Zhizhi didn't want to ask further, so he just said: "I almost forgot. When I first came here, I passed by Zhengyang Avenue. The main street was very lively, and there were all hawkers along the street. I bought all these snacks from there. They are both under the jurisdiction of the county. Why is this street so empty?”

As soon as she finished saying these words, the beggar looked up to the sky and laughed. The laughter was extremely sad and had a hint of resentment.

Zhao Zhizhi frowned slightly and looked at him quietly without saying another word.

When the beggar had laughed enough, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his laughter, with a vague sarcastic curve in the corner of his mouth, "Girl, do you want the truth?"

Zhao Zhizhi was secretly frightened, but his face remained calm, "Is there a hidden secret?"

The beggar turned around and wanted to leave, "Girl, come with me. The so-called truth is not as good as coming from my mouth and seeing it for yourself."

Zhao Zhizhi followed him immediately without doubting his presence.

After walking a dozen or so steps, Zhao Zhizhi realized that she had turned from the alley to the end of the street.

They should be at the end of the street now. At first, Zhao Zhizhi's mentality was very peaceful. However, she soon saw what the real "hell on earth" was.

People who looked like beggars were lying on both sides of the street without knowing whether they were alive or dead. Some of them were already certain to be dead. Mosquitoes were crawling on the bodies of those people.

Zhao Zhizhi has a sensitive sense of smell and can smell the smell of corpses without getting close. What makes it even more difficult for her to accept is that there are children of different ages among these people.Before he reached the street, Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but pause, his face was so pale that he was retching.

"Girl, are you okay?" The beggar was three steps away from Zhao Zhizhi and could only speak to her in a slightly raised voice.

Zhao Zhizhi shook his head with a pale face and opened his lips with difficulty: "Aren't they, aren't they the people of the county?"

The beggar smiled bitterly three times, "What about the people in the county? In order to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, County Magistrate Cao raised all the wealthy families in the city. The people you saw when you came were all the servants of the families who came out to buy and sell. The silver will be divided equally."

"But we poor people, who have no power and cannot get along with Magistrate Cao, are treated as abandoned children and trapped in this alley. All the food and belongings in our homes are plundered. Although he They didn’t kill us, but they pushed us towards death.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhizhi was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and could not utter a word.

She didn't dare to think that under the emperor's feet, a local official could be so corrupt that he actually regarded human life as nothing.

The beggar looked dejectedly at the lifeless people on the street, and then took a breath and continued: "Not only in Cao County, but also in the drought-stricken areas south of Ganyu, only the common people are suffering. These corrupt officials all have hands and eyes like the sky." , I don’t know how many high-ranking officials there are colluding with them, even if we are lucky enough to escape from the city, we have nowhere to beat drums and complain."

Therefore, Caoxian County is not as prosperous as Zhao Zhizhi saw.

Everything is an illusion created by the county magistrate.

Zhao Zhizhi never dared to think that as a parent and official of the people, he could watch the people starve to death and die of illness.

She seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She sat on the ground and buried her head in her knees. The sadness in her heart could not be described in words.

Zhao Zhizhi had doubts about God for the first time.

What was the reason that brought her to this world?

She only has some medical skills, but nothing else stands out. God has allowed her to see these sufferings in the world, but she can't do anything to change them. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Girl, I called everyone here." The beggar uncle came over, looking a little worried.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Zhizhi looked around and found a pair of old tables and chairs on the deserted street.

"Sir, please do me one more favor." Zhao Zhizhi pointed to the table and chairs not far away and said, "I'm afraid I can't move it alone, so I need you to help me lift it."

The beggar uncle responded: "It's a trivial matter. If I didn't have enough to eat, I might not have the strength to help the girl. Things will be different now. Girl, please wait here for a while, and I will bring them to you right away." "

After that, he walked towards the table and chairs.

Zhao Zhizhi smiled and let him go.

At this time, the residents of the street had already walked over one after another.

Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that they had blocked the Xiaocun area tightly.

I thought that including those lying on the roadside, there would be no more than a hundred people here.

Now it seems that she thought things too simply.

Zhao Zhizhi clenched his fists and cursed Magistrate Cao in his heart, "Shameless villain, worse than a beast."
