Runaway Mengfei is not easy to mess with

Chapter 366

Er Er pretended not to see the old man's behavior, and walked over: "Let's go, go and talk to our master."

Only then did the old man remember that the two men and women who couldn't see their faces clearly just now, no wonder they were so extraordinary, they were actually His Highness?Today, only the emperor's son and daughter can be His Highness, right?His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Having lived most of my life, the biggest official I have ever met is the head of the village. These two His Royal Highnesses are one level lower than the emperor. They are noble people that I dare not even dream of meeting!

Seeing that the old man only realized his fear at this time, Er Er was angry and funny, and comforted him patiently: "Our master is the most kind, as long as you answer honestly, it will benefit you."

The old man's eyes lit up, thinking of the ingot of silver just now, he immediately mustered up his courage, followed Er Er, and came in front of Chu Tianmu and Xilinglan.

At this time, Chu Tianmu and Xilinglan had already dismounted, and they found a shady place under the big tree beside the official road, and built a simple pergola, and the two of them sat inside.

Chu Tianmu didn't make a sound, and was reading with a stack of information. These were all the information about the disaster that had been sent from various hidden piles in recent days, which only gave him a headache.

Xilinglan was just ordering the guards to bury all the corpses of the refugees who died suddenly on the roadside in deep pits. It is the autumn tiger season, if they are not handled properly, these corpses will rot soon, attracting flies. Bring the plague.

The guards went to dispose of the corpse, so Xilinglan was free to ask questions. Although she tried her best to look more amiable, she twitched the corners of her mouth when she saw that the old man didn't dare to lift his head and his legs were still trembling. Decided to remain expressionless, since no one would see it anyway.

"The old man came from the disaster area of ​​Wind River?" Xi Linglan tried her best to speak softly so as not to scare others.

The old man shivered and replied, "Yes... the little old man... the little old man is from Fenghe Yongchun County."

"Yongchun County, [-] miles away from Fenghe, is a famous grain-producing county." Xilinglan tried hard to recall the information she had read earlier. "This time, Yongchun County is seriously affected by the disaster, right?"

The old man burst into tears all of a sudden: "Returning to the nobleman, the little old man's home is in Yangshu Village, Yongchun County. This flood, the entire county was flooded, and all the corn in our village was flooded. People were also flooded." Dozens of people died, and there was really no way out, so they came all the way to escape by begging. There are more than 300 people in the village, all the way to Yingcheng, and only half of them are left. They all died on the road, and there are no bones. Buried somewhere, in the future even the descendants will not be able to eat..." Speaking of this, two lines of muddy tears flowed from the corners of the old man's eyes.

Xilinglan was silent. Facing the old man's pained and desperate eyes, she didn't know how to comfort her. Chu Tianmu next to her frowned and asked, "The flood in the Wind River happened in early July, and it's been more than a month now. Well, didn’t the government allocate food for the disaster?”

The old man wiped his tears with his hands, and smiled wryly: "If we can receive the relief food, why would we leave our hometown and live here. To tell you the truth, Yangshu Village of the little old man is still good, and hundreds of people can escape. Up to now, there are more than 400 people in Liushu Village next door. Only about [-] of them have survived because of the low terrain. Now along the way, I heard that the emperor is critically ill. Now there is no one in Chufeng to take charge of the overall situation. Everyone is panicking, and they only hope that the emperor will get better soon, so that he can open a warehouse to release food, and give us a way to survive!"
