Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 325 The Truth About Huainan

The owner of the ship could no longer prevent everyone from boarding the ship. He felt that the ship was shaking. Not to mention that every room was full of people, and even the deck was full of people standing shoulder to shoulder.His face was pale, and he was forced to set sail by the wicked people with knives.

There were still some old and weak refugees on the dock, and the boat couldn't fit them, so they failed to board the boat smoothly, and could only watch the boat sail away from the dock.

The sun is bright and dazzling, and the newly drawn catkins are like smoke, floating gently with the wind by the river.

The wind also lifted Feng Shijin's broken clothes.She turned her head to look for it, but those evil people rummaged through the things in the bag, and the clothes were scattered everywhere, and they were trampled dirty by footprints one by one.But Feng Shijin couldn't find Sanhuan.

She was a little anxious, picked up her luggage and looked around.Finally, I found the shivering fur ball in the corner of a few ivy plants in the corner.It was frightened, no matter how Ren Feng Shijin coaxed it, it just refused to come out.

Feng Shijin saw that its hind leg seemed to be injured, and the hair around it was wet with blood, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.Usually the three laps are quite obedient, but there are also times when you get stubborn, and once you get stubborn, you will be soft and hard.Later, Jun Qianji squatted down, stretched out his hand to the three circles inside, and said, "Three circles, come here."

It moved its body three times, and finally was willing to look this way. It flinched for a moment, then jumped out limping on its injured leg.

Feng Shijin hugged it into his arms and looked at its legs. It might have been accidentally scratched while running away in the chaos, and there was a cut on its hind leg.Feng Shijin quickly tore off a broken piece of his body and wrapped up the wound.

"Qianji, what should we do now?" Feng Shijin and the three circles in her arms looked at Jun Qianji together, looking helpless.

Jun Qianji looked at the shadow of the passenger ship gradually entering the river, and said, "Leave this place first."

Seeing the scars on his face, Feng Shijin couldn't help feeling distressed, reached out to touch his face, gasped and said, "Does it hurt?"

Jun Qianji grabbed her wrist and put it in the palm of his hand. There was only a long, thin, bright red bloodstain on the wrist. Feng Shijin quickly stretched out his hand to block it, not wanting to be seen by Jun Qianji.

She held the string of crystal-clear amethyst bracelets in her other hand, and said with a nonchalant smile: "I mean, I can't let those people snatch this away. This is your birthday present for me. Look, Still here with me."

But Jun Qianji didn't look at it, just stared at Feng Shijin's wrist, and said: "If you grab it, I'll grab it, and I'll make a better one for you. Are you stupid? You don't even want your life because of this." ?” He said while wrapping her wrists with extra cloth strips.

Feng Shijin smiled even brighter, and said: "The meaning is different, this is the first birthday present I received."

Later, Jun Qianji took Feng Shijin by the hand and left the pier with three laps.

The wharf in Huainan is the gathering place for the waterways of many towns along the river. The wharf is so wide that the water transportation of the entire Huainan area needs to go up and down here, which shows its huge scale.It stands to reason that such a place should be very prosperous at ordinary times.

But now, there is basically nothing left here except for the evil people and the refugees.There are no cargo ships loading and unloading here, and passenger ships who know the situation here also stay away.

Feng Shijin and Jun Qianji were walking on the street, the street was too deserted, pedestrians were in a hurry, only a few shops were still open on the street, and the whole place looked depressed.

When passers-by saw Feng Shijin, they all cast strange glances.

She knew that she was dressed in rags, if it wasn't for Jun Qianji's robe outside to barely cover up her shame, she would be so naked.

In addition to the robes and skirts left in the clothing store, she also brought a change of robes and skirts in her luggage. Right now, she doesn't care whether her and Jun Qianji's clothes are decent, so she finds a hidden place to put the broken ones Change the skirt and put on your previous robe and skirt.

This makes it much more convenient.The two walked a short distance, and they happened to meet an old woman selling sour plum soup at the entrance of the alley.

The sun was shining brightly, the willows were crisp and crisp, Feng Shijin's face was dirty, and she was already very thirsty.She and Jun Qianji stopped, and each ordered a bowl of sour plum juice.

Feng Shijin asked casually: "Isn't Huainan a land of fish and rice, a land of abundance? When I came to see it today, the scene was completely different from what I imagined. There were not many people on the street. Why?"

The old woman sighed and said: "The land of fish and rice and the land of abundance are all in the past. Last year, there was a flood here, and the county magistrate was washed away by the flood before he could repair the dam. The fertile land is tens of millions. In an instant, it turned into a vast ocean, the lush crops were destroyed, and the people here had no harvest. Now those who don’t want to starve to death are starving to death, flee for their lives.”

Although I guessed it roughly, I was still a little shocked to hear the old woman tell the truth in a vicissitudes of life.She looked at Jun Qianji, and asked again: "At the end of the year, I heard that the imperial court sent the crown prince to the south to help the disaster. How could it be so serious?"

The old woman thought for a while, and said: "You said that the prince is helping the disaster. It seems that there is such a thing. The county government opened a warehouse for two days, and pulled a lot of strong men to jump into the flood with sandbags on their backs... The first son drowned in the flood and never came out again."

Feng Shijin didn't ask any more questions, and looked down at the old woman pouring the sour plum juice into the bowl. She didn't stop when the bowl was full, and the dark brown sour plum juice overflowed from the edge of the bowl.Only then did Feng Shijin look at the old woman, and reminded: "Old aunt, it's already full."

The old woman was stunned, and said: "It's already full, the woman's eyes are not good."

She handed Feng Shijin a bowl full of sour plum soup.Feng Shijin felt a little sad, and reached out to take it.When the old woman talked about those things, her face was extremely calm, as if she was talking about someone else's son. Most likely, only she knew about the pain. When the tears dried up, there would be no more tears. When people get old, their eyes will also get old.

The old woman poured Jun Qianji another bowl of sour plum soup, which was also overflowing.Jun Qianji put the money into her hand, and she could only rub it over and over again with her hands.

Feng Shijin asked: "Are there so many people waiting for the boat at the pier every day?"

The old woman said: "The cities around here are all the same. The county master couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked them to come to the pier and wait for the boat. After waiting for a month or two, there were not many boats coming. The woman left If you don’t move, your eyesight is not good, and you won’t live for a few days, so you won’t join in the fun.”

After drinking the sour plum soup and walking out, Feng Shijin and Jun Qianji stopped talking, feeling very uncomfortable.

The two walked under the willow shade for a long time before Jun Qianji asked, "What are you thinking?"
