The Rebirth of Jiangmen's Daughter

Chapter 1558 This is not the place for you to stay!
Huangfu Ye gave the old man a pot of hot wine, took a pot and took a sip himself, remembering the doubts in his heart along the way, he asked the old man for advice.

"Oh, this is a long story..."

Tangwan village has been suffering from famine for many years, and can't even fill their stomachs. Where can they get alcohol?Now the old man got the wine and took a long gulp.

"We used to have a river here, but I don't know why, the water in the river has disappeared in the past few years, and these lands have no water to irrigate... When there is a severe drought, our Jingling will be useless. Accept, our Tangwan Village is still good, I heard that there are no food in some places, even dead people eat..."

The old man's words immediately made everyone stop the movements of their hands, even eating the dead, what kind of tragic state should that be?
"Old man, can you still let people have a good meal? If you say that, how can you let them eat?"

The old lady scolded, and the scene immediately became a little awkward, but soon, Huangfu Ye changed the topic.

"The court doesn't care about this? I heard that your Jingling was allocated to Hanyang Mansion early in the morning. You have no harvest here. According to the rules of the court, if you suffer a disaster, you must report it to the court, and the court will help you through the crisis... ..."

"Hey, this matter, isn't it all the court's good words, old man, I have lived for so many years, and I have only paid rations to the court, and I have never eaten the rations distributed by the court!"

Huangfu Yedang and Ye Qingcheng looked at each other, and then said: "Old man, our group will stay at your house for a few more days, and we will pay you money in these few days, and we will also borrow your kitchen. Once you use it, you can eat it with us for a few days!"

Before the old man could answer, the old woman answered with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, okay! You can stay as long as you want, if you delicate little ladies can't cook, old lady, I am still in good health, and I can still cook." cook!"

"Okay, then there will be Mrs. Lao!"

Seeing that the old woman had already eaten three steamed buns, the old man was worried that if she continued to eat, the people in the room would not be full, so he urged her to take a rest: "Mother, go and boil some water!"

The old woman reached out and touched her round belly. It was such a delicious bun. It was hard for her to eat such a meal, but she couldn't sleep well even now.

"I'll go and boil some hot water for them. Although our family can't do it that way, washing our face and soaking our feet can also relieve fatigue."

Seeing the old woman walk out of the house, the old man lowered his voice: "What are you doing here in Jingling? Although the old man is old, he is not stupid. What are you Jingling beating?" idea?"

Seeing the old man suddenly say that, everyone in the room was startled, they didn't expect this old man to be so shrewd!

"Old man, to be honest, we are all members of the imperial court. We heard that Jingling's misfortunes never come singly, so we came here to find out."

Hearing this, the old man didn't look happy or excited. Instead, he poured a big gulp of the wine in the jug, and then fell silent.

Just when everyone thought that the old man would not answer, the old man's voice sounded faintly.

"You children are all good people. The old man also thought that you could make a difference in Jingling, but you don't know that this place... the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. It has been rampant for so many years, and it cannot be reversed overnight. Tomorrow morning, go back where you came from, this is not the place for you to stay!"
