Reborn Daughter of the Clan

Chapter 217 Disappointment (1)
Both the child and the man looked at the two of them.

"Woman, the girl knows that she is a noble person at a glance. What kind of bowl do you use for water? How dare she..."

The man saw that his mother-in-law used an old bowl of water for Linglong to drink, so he immediately stood up and took a few steps forward to grab the bowl, but Linglong reached out and took the bowl of water, and looked deeply at the young woman. With one glance, he brought the bowl of water to his lips and drank slowly.

While drinking, he asked as usual: "Do you all eat this?"

Although the Tianyun Dynasty is much larger than the Lanyue Kingdom, it does not mean that the people of the Tianyun Dynasty are as well-fed as the people in the capital.But when she really saw the poor people, she realized how extravagant her past life was.

She had never seen the wild vegetables floating in their mess, let alone ate them.

"This... is a bit sour, but it's still edible." The young woman's tone was still flat.

"Can't you grow enough crops for a year to feed the whole family?" A deep voice came, and at some point, Han Yu had already stood beside Linglong, with a solemn expression on his face.He is a member of the royal family, and the people's life is not good, which is the failure of the king.He always thought that under the management of the Han clan, everyone in the Tianyun Dynasty would have food, clothes, and houses to live in.

"After paying the rent, there is only enough food for two months, not enough for the next summer." The young woman responded lightly.The man couldn't help tugging at her clothes, probably to tell her not to say anything wrong, because Linglong and the others seemed to have a lot of background.

"When I entered the village just now, I saw that there were fields everywhere, but many of them were deserted. Why not plant something else for food after winter?" Linglong's face also became congealed.

The young woman stopped answering.

The man's head was even lowered.

Looking at the young woman and then at the man, Linglong also guessed a little bit, she didn't point it out, after drinking the bowl of clear water, she returned the bowl to the young woman, and thanked the young woman with a gentle smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, if you dare to ask sister-in-law Honorable name?"

"Bitch Fang Ruo'er."

Nangong Linglong nodded, turned her head and exchanged glances with Han Yu, then turned and left.

Back in a semi-new house where Yunying and the others lived, Nangong Linglong didn't sit down either, but just jumped onto the roof, standing on the roof and looking at the surrounding environment of the whole village again.

After a while, Han Yu also jumped up.

In his hand was a soup with two pieces of wild vegetables and a few pieces of meat.

He handed one of the bowls to Nangong Linglong, and said in a very serious tone, "We should also taste the wild vegetables." It is a test for those in power to taste the suffering of the people. "There is still meat in our bowl, which was caught by your disciples on those mountains." He looked at the rolling hills in the distance.It looks like it is not far away, but in fact, it takes at least two days to get there on foot.

Yunying and others know how to do light work. Although they can shorten the time, the gains are not great. They don't have enough food for themselves, so they can't help the common people.

The poultry brought by the people in Pingchang Town was slaughtered and eaten a few days ago. Even if there were still some unkilled poultry, they were unwilling to give it to the people in Hengli Village.What's more, after living here for a few days, they found that the men here are too lazy to be hated.Men like Fang Ruoer just now are the kind who are particularly hateful for being too lazy.Usually, Fang Ruo'er would take the child with her when she went to work, but her man was just wandering around, not helping with work, not taking care of the child, preparing food for him, and complaining about this and that.

After receiving the bowl of wild vegetable soup accompanied by wild game, Nangong Linglong looked at Han Yu deeply, her apricot eyes filled with anticipation, and said word by word: "Han Yu, if you ascend the supreme throne in the future , Promise me, you must be the best emperor in the world, let the people eat well, dress well, live well, even if they don’t have food every day, at least they can drink rice soup.”

"I will try my best. In fact, this place is poorer than Pingchang Town. I can't blame those in power. There are fields and land, but you don't cultivate them. If you are poor, who is to blame? Hungry, who is to blame? Longer, I asked carefully just now Yes, this one is called Hengli Village. There are about a hundred young and middle-aged people in total, but they are all idle, stealing chickens and dogs, and all the things in the fields are left to the old people and women. If you want to improve this place, you must Cure laziness!"

If the poverty here is caused by the imperial court's exorbitant taxes, it is a problem for the king.But Hengli Village is their own problem, and has nothing to do with those in power.

Linglong looked at him, and although she hadn't asked anything yet, she felt the same way.

There was a sudden cry from the ground, not one or two, but a loud mix.

The two looked at each other, and immediately floated down from the roof with the bowl of wild vegetable soup in their hands.

When the two fell to the ground, their footsteps were pinned, they did not move a single step, and stood quietly watching.

It is the women and children in Pingchang Town who are looking for their relatives.

The hundreds of soldiers who made it down the mountain alive were also frantically looking for their parents, wives and children among the crowd.

The one who was looking for it hugged his head and cried.

If you don't find it, you cry bitterly, because it means losing.

There are dense crowds of people crowded together, you cry, I cry, naturally the crying is noisy.

"My child's father... where are you..." Feng Niang was also in the crowd, but she didn't find her man, and a sense of ominousness immediately enveloped her heart. She pulled the child, supported the old man, and kept Slowly weaving through the crowd, weeping and frightened voices echoed inside and outside the house.

When she had identified the faces of all the soldiers and was sure that there was no man of her own, her tears suddenly flowed like a fountain.

Seeing this scene, Linglong's hand holding the bowl tightened again and again, her lips were bitten tightly, and the bite hurt, but she did not let go.

"It's all of you, it's all of you, if you didn't come to our town suddenly, how could the court find them on the mountain? It's all of you, you killed so many of our relatives, it's all of you..." Feng Niang suddenly rushed over, threw herself on Linglong's body, weeping and patting her.

The bowl of soup in Linglong's hand was thrown by her and fell to the ground, spilling all over the floor.

"Yes, it's all your fault..."

Other people who lost their loved ones also rushed over.

The people in pain surrounded Linglong and Han Yu, pulling the two of them painfully.

"My lord!"

"master!"

Tie Hao, Yun Ying and others rushed forward, trying hard to pull away those crazy and suffering people.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we've troubled you." Linglong stopped Yunying and the others from using force against the people, but she didn't resist either. She let Fengniang pat her, and seeing Fengniang's heartbroken look, she took Fengniang's head instead In her arms, her tone was extremely heavy: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
