The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 393 Famine
"Okay. At that time, I will definitely ask my family to visit you more often and bring you some food. The housekeeper's surname is Lei. He is very small and handsome. When you see him, but Just ask carefully."

Hearing this, King Jing tilted his head to look at her, shook his head and smiled.

Yingyue and the others were also a little puzzled, but they didn't say much.

After eating, we reluctantly said goodbye to the old woman, and the group continued on their way.

The Nangong Empire's illness cannot be delayed. Although she doesn't know what's going on there, she always feels at ease by the side of King Jing.

After a whole day of trekking, they finally reached a nearby town.

Unfortunately, this town happened to be the most barren place in the Nangong Empire.

I wanted to have a good meal here, and then find an inn to sleep comfortably for the night.

But after seeing the scene in the town, this thought disappeared.

"What's going on here, can't we catch up with the famine?"

Along the way, all you see are hungry skinny people.

There were many men and women in scanty clothes on the street, lying on the ground recklessly.

People who were born in a wealthy place have never seen such a tragic scene.

"My lord, why don't we spare this town and go from Lin Town not far away first."

There was a decaying smell everywhere in the street, even Shisan couldn't help wrinkling his nose.

"Even if you want to leave from Linzhen, now is not the right time."

King Jing looked at the sunset glow in the sky and said.

"My lord is right. Even if it's not far away, it takes half a day to get there. It's getting dark now, and the most urgent thing is to find a place to live."

Wang Yuetong looked all the way over, but he didn't see any inns that were still open, and all the doors were closed.

"There's not even a place to live here, and there's no restaurant... Hey, I finally know what it's like to have money and have nothing to spend!"

First, she was trapped in the mountains, and she managed to get out, but she was caught by the famine, and Yingyue couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Just now I saw a ruined temple outside the town. It seems that we will have to deal with it there all night tonight."

Wang Yuetong suggested.

"That's the only way for now."

Seeing that they have almost reached the end of the town and haven't found an inn where they can live, everyone can only agree with this.

In this way, the group turned back and walked into the ruined temple they had passed by before.

When I came in, I found that the inside was already full of refugees. They were all hungry, and all they had was a skeleton and a pair of eyes.

"Borrow it."

King Jing opened the way in front of him, and the people behind him followed closely.

Seeing that they were neatly dressed, the people in the temple knew they were foreigners, so they all made way for them.

King Jing found that there was still space behind the Buddha statue, so five people squeezed tightly behind the Buddha statue.

The refugees around them glanced at them from time to time, and their scrutinizing eyes made people feel a little uncomfortable.

After walking for a day, I only ate some dry food at noon, and everyone was hungry at this time.

However, no one said to eat.

The dilapidated temple was very quiet, only one or two children could be heard indistinctly.

In such a quiet environment, Siqi's stomach was rumbling for a long time. If she didn't know it, she thought she had been hungry for days.

Siqi tightened her belt tightly in embarrassment, and pressed her belly tightly, so as not to make it make any more strange noises.

"Eat."

At this time, Wang Yuetong took out a piece of bread from the pouch and handed it to Siqi.

Seeing her take out the dry food so directly, Yingyue hurriedly stood in front of her, blocking the white cake.

But the smell of the food is irresistible, especially for the refugees who have been hungry for many days, the smell is just like opium.

But if they are hungry, they are still rational, knowing that it is someone else's property, and they will not go forward to fight for it like hungry ghosts.

"Mother, I'm hungry! Mother!"

The child was honest, and when he smelled the food, he couldn't help crying.

"Do not talk!"

The woman tightly covered the child's mouth, forcefully holding back the tears in her eyes.

Wang Yuetong turned around and saw that the woman was still holding a baby in her arms.

For the older child, she was powerless, but facing the dying baby in her arms, she was so hungry that she had no milk, so she could only bite her finger and feed the child with her own blood.

Wang Yuetong felt her breath was suffocating, she took out some noodles from the pouch, walked up to the woman, silently handed the things to her, turned around and left.

After the woman was surprised, she looked at her gratefully, and then hurriedly hid the bread in her bosom.

"Here, you eat this."

She took out a piece of bread and handed it to the older child.

Seeing the child wolfing down the cake, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

"Princess, you will make others dissatisfied..."

Yingyue looked at the eyes of the people around her, from the moment she took out the food, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and they never looked away for a moment.

Siqi clutched the bread tightly in her hand, and didn't dare to hand it to her mouth for a long while.

She was afraid of attracting those wolf-like eyes, those eyes seemed to swallow her alive, compared to this, she would rather go hungry for a while longer.

After a while, it was already dark.

After King Jing explained a few words to Thirteen, he went out temporarily.

After several days of fatigue, Wang Yuetong was a little exhausted, so he leaned on the Buddha statue and took a nap for a while.

When he woke up, a fire had already been lit in the small dilapidated temple, and the hungry and cold people gathered around the fire to keep warm.

All the people were there, but they were the only ones who dared not go over, and no one called them over.

As if they were aliens.

Wang Yuetong rubbed her eyes, looked at the dark sky outside, and in a blink of an eye, King Jing hadn't come back yet.

"Ma'am, are you hungry?"

They have changed their names when they are away from home.

Siqi took out the noodle cake just now and handed it to Wang Yuetong.

"Why haven't you eaten this bread yet?"

Putting it in Siqi's hands for a long time, it has been covered with heat.

"Me, they're always staring at me... To be precise, they're staring at the food in my hand. I really can't eat it. Madam should eat it!"

"I still have it here, you can eat it."

Wang Yuetong stuffed the bread back into Siqi's hands.

Siqi looked at Yingyue, then at Shisan, and then divided the cake into four, so that each person could have a piece, so as to save her from eating alone, she couldn't help it on her conscience.
